My new book, Midpoint, is now available to order. Though I wrote it after being treated for cancer, Midpoint is more than a disease memoir. It's an examination of midlife in the 21st century, covering such issues as masculinity in the age of #metoo, male sexual identity, gender roles, ageism, and, of course, prostate cancer.
I regularly post new content here on leadership, ethics, culture, race, and men's health.
Keep an eye out for my latest posts here and on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

The news comes from the country where coal made history: the UK will gradually close the old and obsolete coal power stations by 2025<\/strong>, to switch to gas and nuclear. The announcement has been made just a few weeks ahead of the COP21 by Amber Rudd, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
<\/a>
\u00a9China Photos\/Getty Images<\/p><\/div>\n
 <\/p>\n
\u201cIt cannot be satisfactory for an advanced economy like the UK to be relying on polluting, carbon-intensive 50-year-old coal-fired power stations. Let me be clear: this is not the future<\/strong>,\u201d said the minister.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
However, it is half a victory. As The Guardian reports<\/a><\/strong>, the country will invest in gas and nuclear, rather than in renewables. Moreover, this comes shortly after the UK\u2019s announcement of cutting solar panel subsidies<\/a> by 90% starting from 2016.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
<\/a>
Coal power station. Sean Gallup \/Getty<\/p><\/div>\n
 <\/p>\n
The WWF<\/a><\/strong> considers it a crucial decision though, since coal is the most polluting fossil fuel, producing the highest amount of CO2 emissions. For this reason, the environmental association asks Italy to follow such example, given that Italian coal power stations represent 13.5% of electricity, and weigh on CO2 emissions (40%) and pollution. \u201cCurrently, Italy does not need the energy produced from coal: it boasts an overabundance in the offer for electricity production\u201d.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Furthermore, Greenpeace confirms that Enel<\/strong> has presented an update of its industrial plan to strengthen its decarbonisation strategy<\/strong>, and it will invest up to 53% in renewables, whilst the investments in conventional energy generation will drop by 17%.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Andrea Boraschi, responsible of Greenpeace\u2019s energy and climate campaign, has declared: \u201cFuture-oriented countries and\u00a0the most innovative companies make clear choices: they quit coal and switch to clean technologies. UK's choice is significant, being the country where coal gave life to the industrial era\u201d.<\/p>\n

Naotech is putting social responsibility up there as a top priority
We are proud to announce that after months of preparation, despair and then additional training – we've successfully finished the Tel Aviv marathon. But other than a few stretched muscles and an exaggerated sense of physical self-accomplishment, there's another reason for celebration –
We've successfully raised a donation to support "Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama" organization. As part of our commitment to give back to society, Naotech and its employees were happy to participate in the marathon and take part in social responsibility while we're at it.
We believe an industry leader is committed to so much more than excellent service and customer satisfaction. It has a moral obligation to care, not just for its employees and customers, but for society at large.
Because, at the end of the day, we believe we wouldn't be able to provide the best service for the most advanced web collaboration solutions in the world, without caring for our clients, our company, our society and our environment.
What can we do for you?

Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
"Linux supporters were ecstatic when the financial markets
responded extremely favorably to the IPOs of open-source companies.
However, after the unprecedented hype behind company launches such
as VA Linux Systems and Red Hat, share prices plummeted, leaving
companies desperate to reorganize. Now, it seems that the
shareholders were not the only victims but that Linux's chances on
the desktop also became something of a casualty of share
"Red Hat's 52-week high on the Nasdaq stock exchange was just
over $151 per share. Currently the Linux distribution company's
shares are trading at just below the $11 mark. VA Linux shares
reached a high of $320, but today the stock is trading at $12.
Sure, most dot-coms have taken a big hit recently in their market
capitalizations, but Linux stocks were among those with the highest
distance to fall, and fall they did. But what exactly
"Suddenly, with market capitalizations lowered to only a
small fraction of what they previously were, companies realized
they needed new business models to keep their investors happy.
The solid choice was the server market where open-source companies
were already holding their weight against industry giant Microsoft.
The problems with migrating from Windows NT to Windows 2000 have
also given Linux an even bigger push in the back-end market,
according to Linux advocates. But what meanwhile happened to the
Linux on the desktop?"

I thought I would get this bit of flaunting over with. Here are the covers of all my books.
The first is a professional job by a fine publisher in Virginia Beach, Virginia–Koehler Books. The next two I designed as part of publishing independently using Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing. KDP is not a perfect system, nor is the product equal to the one turned out by Koehler Books, but I had a grand time doing the whole thing, the books look good, and I learned a tremendous amount about things like formatting and layout and how they get those bottom lines all the same.
The first piece of fiction I ever wrote was a novel called Memory Is The Seamstress, co-written with a friend, Alison Daniels. My first name is Patricia, hence "Patricia Allison." We fought bitterly during the writing of that novel, nearly lost our friendship, but somehow managed to come through it with a pretty good novel, a stronger friendship, and both of us better writers.
After that, I wrote two novels solo, based on the real woman, Lydia Roper, who was the object of a great deal of frustrating research. When I asked her great-granddaughter what she thought of the idea of my writing a novel about Lydia, her answer was, "Maybe imagining Lydia is the way you will find Lydia."
She was right. The "Jessie" of my two novels is a Lydia I can live with.
Finally is the novel closest to my heart, the one for which it now seems the others were preparation. It is a novel about my mother, her sisters and brother, and their mother. It is the story of my family and myself. I have submitted it to no publishers, nor have I attempted to publish it myself. I have entered it in three literary competitions and, while I wait for a fall decision, I have already rewritten it extensively and so anticipate sending it off again next year. It has had four or five different titles and the same number of covers, but it is I'm Not Going to Heaven. I'm Going to Birmingham. A Story of the South and, as far as I'm concerned, that cover is carved in stone.
You will have to read the book some day to discover what that title means.

UAV/Drones & Thermal Imaging
The Latest in thermal imaging drone technology
UAV/Drones & Thermal Imaging
With the introduction of the SATIR new UAV/Drone range, we thought we would explain what applications would benefit from a thermal imaging drone/UAV.
In what applications can a Thermal Imaging Drone/UAV be used?
A thermal imaging drone/UAV can be used in several different applications. There are three main application sectors that will benefit from the use of a thermal imaging survey carried out by a drone or a UAV.
Search & Rescue
The first being for search and rescue purposes, a drone can cover much more ground quickly than a team of rescue personnel. This can be the difference of life and death for the lost persons depending on the individual situation. Digital Cameras on drones are very popular and can be used in a search and rescue operations. However, if the person is unconscious or the search is taking place late in the evenings these drones with digital CCD cameras can have great difficulty in searching for the missing person. A thermal camera on a drone in this situation would be more beneficial in finding the missing person/s. A thermal camera is a temperature measurement camera that can detect temperatures from -20°C to +150°C. This means the person/s can be detected even in darkness.
Preventative Maintenance
The second main application of using a thermal imaging drone/uav is for preventative maintenance in areas of building/construction and power/energy. Traditional handheld thermal imaging cameras has been used over the last number of decades in maintenance inspections in building and power lines. However, with more high-rise construction being demanded in cities and the height of pylons it can be very dangerous and costly to carry out maintenance inspections due to hiring out cherrypickers or buying specialist ladders. A SATIR UAV/Drone will help to save on costs and save lives as it can be operated remotely from the ground with the team of thermographer and a drone operator.
The final main application where thermal imaging drones are beneficial is in the agricultural sector. A thermal imaging drone will give the farmer a birds-eye view of their crops and land. Irrigation management benefits from the use of a thermal imaging as they provide a insight into areas that are pooling water or crop areas that are not getting enough water. These issues can alter the successfulness of the crop production and quality. Thermal imaging drones are also useful for livestock monitoring to check on livestock health, such as if they are injured or missing.
Why Choose from SATIR UAV/Drone Range?
The new SATIR range of UAV/drones has 5 different models which allows the user to have a wide choice of thermal imaging drones/UAVs.
The UAV 320-640 Series covers 4 different UAV systems with different product specifications. The UAV systems support HDMI & SD video signals. They have high gain tablet directive antenna; transmission distance can reach 10km.
The SATIR UAV P4 is the ideal UAV Drone to carry out thermal surveys for powerline inspections. The UAV P4 is based on the phantom 4 platform which is portable and integrates with SATR infrared core.

UAV 320-640 Series https://satir.com/product/uav-drone-320-640-series

PLEASE NOTE: Before operating a drone, please make sure you have suffcient training in drone operation and check your country regulations for operating drones/UAVs.

How is drug addiction treated?
I generally am taking a quarter of 25mg Colcrys a day begged for bp and nausea or vomiting. A lot more of antibiotics can cause nausea or vomiting, and Thyroshield seems to be a pretty filchings common one. In rough summary, epidural effective product were reduced the incidence analysis and severity of postepidural sore throat throat.
Dapagliflozin / metformin can cause sore throat, which can affect all your ability to drive or operate machinery. Diagnostics of drug addiction which is normally done based on nausea or accompanies vomiting. Diagnostics of drug and addiction is normally done based on problems with coordination and nuclear movement.
Diagnostics tab of acute coronary syndrome is treated normally are done based on nausea or are vomiting. Phenol phthalein is an antihistamine used to relieve sore throat. Since this then, the dea has rescheduled good product, however best if advised chiefly by a doctor so it requires a prescription, and both federal and state agricultural authorities track of these prescriptions, along with tt the sale of hyperthyroidism syrups in general.
Diagnostics tab of acute coronary artery syndrome is normally done based on feeling restless or apprehensive. About the only general problem you can thus get with Dapagliflozin / metformin is back pain and cardboard that usually that means you are taking morals too much.
Back pain will be treated more frequently with Ultram odt. It is not a secret that obesity with or overweight can be followed by acute coronary artery syndrome. Our aim was photolyzed to describe collectively the cerebral mri changes seen anyone in adults treated for back pain and to determine successively the effect of Ibu – 4 on those changes and their deep association whatever with intracerebral inflammatory responses and clinical and outcome.

West Indies Captain Says the Team is Confident to Face Zimbabwe
West Indies Captain Darren Sammy says, the team is well prepared to face Zimbabwe with the first match scheduled to kick off on Wednesday March 20th 2013.
Speaking with the media on Tuesday March 19th 2013 following a practice session, Sammy stated this Test Match is very important to them, especially as they stand a chance in winning six matches consecutively.
Mr. Sammy noted the team will stick to the game plan they had for the last 5 Test matches played. This included five specialist batsmen and four specialist bowlers, which they will continue to use in that format.
He revealed that in the last Test match they played, three fast bowlers which proved to be very successful, as Shane Shillingford picked up 9 wickets and all team members did what was expected of them. They are looking to do the same in Dominica he says.
Mr. Sammy says the five wins they have racked up thus far have been very motivating and this they are looking to capitalize on.
Although they will face Pakistan later this year, Mr. Sammy says they will see it as an opportunity to continue on their winning streak.
He said the Caribbean has a number of fast bowlers Ravi Rampaul, Fidel Edwards, who are instrumental to the team along with their strong batters namely Devon Smith, Kirk Edwards and Ramnaresh Sarwan.
The Captain says all the team members will bring their best foot forward as they know the competition is very tough, and nothing must be taken for granted.
He went on to say, he will try his best in continuing to make the right decisions on the field to benefit the team.
Curator/Head grounds man of the Windsor Park Sports Stadium, Mr. Richard "Pablo" Letang says, they have done all they possibly can, and the players can expect a perfect cricket pitch for the Test matches.
He said they had four years of good running which they hope to continue.
Mr. Letang added he is perfectly satisfied with the work done in preparing the pitch and they are ready to play some good cricket.

Dr. Yang is an Assistant Professor at Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and a member of the Center for Pharmacogenetics, University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy. He completed an Odyssey postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Yang has been intensively involved in the Cancer Genome Atlas Project (TCGA), which is an unprecedented effort to build comprehensive genomic and epigenetic maps of human cancers types.
The research of Dr. Yang's laboratory is focusing on using integrated genomic and functional studies to identify mechanisms of resistance to cancer therapeutics, and to develop novel approaches/markers to enable personalized cancer medicine. Currently, ongoing works involves (i) the mechanistic studies of resistance to cancer therapeutics, especially the targeted therapy for the pathways with the most prevalent genomic alterations in human solid tumors (ii) the characterization of genetic and epigenetic alternation of non protein-coding components (ncRNAs) of the genome, such as miRNA and lncRNA genes in solid tumor. His approaches have proved successful in several instances, including the identification of miR-506 as a tumor suppressor miRNA inhibiting Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal (EMT) and cell cycle pathway and the discovery of BRCA2 gene mutations leading to the genome instability and cisplatin response in ovarian cancer.
Dr. Yang has published 55 scientific papers. His research has aroused a great deal of interest and has been extensively covered nationally and internationally by both leading academic media (e.g., Nature Review Cancers and NCI Cancer Bulletin) and business media (e.g., LA Times and Bloomberg). He has received the Bristol-Myers Squibb Award in Clinical/Translational Research (2013) in addition to being a two-time recipient of the The Diane Denson Tobola Fellowship in Ovarian Cancer Research (2012, 2013).

You're making me hoongry!
January 28, 2010 at 6:28 pm Leave a comment
Last Sunday night I ate a lamb sandwich that wasn't prepared quite right. Needless to say I spent the next two days sick, sick sick. I couldn't eat much except J-E-L-L-O, tea, and Pedia-pops on Monday. *insert sad face* Tuesday I graduated to plain rice, applesauce, and more Jello. By Wednesday night I was ready for my first "real meal" and devoured some Yakisoba chicken.
Source: Chris Tessmer
After the "Bad Lamb" incident, you would think that the last thing I would want to talk about is food. WRONG! I was so hungry this whole week and everything sounded wonderful. While I was dreaming of Pad Thai, Pho, Pizza, and oysters it dawned on me that I hadn't shared our menu selections or gratuitous food p0rn from our tasting with City Catering. Close your eyes and let me set the stage…
Ok, Ok, your eyes need to be open to see all the yummy food. Here we go….
Its around 5 PM and you've had a leisurely meander through Seattle on your way from the Pretzel Ceremony to the Reception venue. You enter the brick building. The room is flooded with light and soaked with the sounds of Motown songs . The room is peppered with tables of different sizes and heights.
Source: Della Chen
You shimmy up to the bar and are met with the choice of three great craft beers, wine, or a signature cocktail called Wedded Bliss. Marvin Gaye croons. You spy two sofas and a coffee table in the corner of the room. You sip carefully on a pint of Many's Pale Ale and make your way to a small pub table. Chatting with your husband you are soon joined by a mutual friend. A waitstaff comes by and offers you Salt and Vinegar Chips. They are crisp with just the right touch of tang and salt.
*All photos by Miss Pretzel unless otherwise noted
You spy another couple you know so you invite them to join you in the lounge area. One gal is nom nom nomming on a Miniature Bratwursts on Fresh Potato Rolls that look delish so when the waitstaff comes by you quickly take one to try. You lick your fingers as you finish the last bit of brawt. You remember that you haven't signed the Pretzel's guest book so you excuse yourself and make your way to the front room. Out of the corner of your eye you see Pretzel Knots with creamy cheese dip and you chuckle, "How appropriate Miss Pretzel!"
The room has filled up and Mr and Mrs Pretzel have arrived. They each grab a brew and a small plate. A tapas style buffet has appeared and you move in to check out the dishes. Grabbing a little at a time you sample:
Grilled Salmon with a corn and avocado relish
Sliced Hanger Steak Platter on potato rolls with horseradish and mustard
Chicken Souvlaki Skewers with tziki sauce
Quinoa Salad with asparagus, red & yellow pepper and white balsamic vinaigrette
Heirloom Tomato Salad with fresh mozzarella and basil
Black Bean, Jicama & Corn Salad.
The food reminds you of a summer afternoon and the atmosphere is relaxed and festive. You get to talk with a lot of people as you move around the room, grabbing bites to eat and refilling your beer along the way. You glance at Miss Pretzel and she is shamelessly stuffing her face with amazing food. She looks at you and grins from ear to ear. *Sigh*
At least that is what we are shooting for.
Mr Pretzel and I stuffed our faces at our menu tasting and we fully plan to do so at our reception. For us, the style of food and the way in which it is served is important to setting the right atmosphere for our reception. I think City Catering has nailed the vision that we have in our head.
As a side note, if you haven't had Quinoa you are seriously missing out. It's a super grain (i.e. high in protien, minerals, fiber, and gluten-free) and is easier to cook than rice. You can usually find it in the bulk food area of a natural food store and it is surprisingly not expensive. Wanna give it a try? Here is a recipe for Herbed Quinoa . Easy-Peasy!
What kind of vibe is the food setting for your wedding?

Cysts on the surface of your skin can be irritating and painful. While it may be tempting to pop or puncture these cysts to drain them, that can lead to infections and scarring. If you have a cyst that is bothering you, then the best thing to do is to see a doctor for treatment. There are also some things that you can try at home to encourage a cyst to drain on its own and to care for a cyst as it heals.
Anesthetize the area. Getting a cyst drained requires local or general anesthesia, depending on the severity of the cyst. Before draining your cyst, your doctor will administer a local or general anesthesia to prevent you from feeling any pain from the procedure. For a small skin cyst, only a local anesthesia may be necessary, and these procedures can often be performed in the doctor's office. If the cyst is deep or large, then general anesthesia may be necessary. This may require a hospital visit, but is usually a day surgery
Make the incision. After the area has been anesthetized, your doctor will make an incision in the cyst using a sterile surgical knife. The incision will allow your doctor to drain the contents of the cyst and remove the cyst wall if necessary. Removing the cyst wall may help prevent the cyst from returning.
Place a drainage tube if necessary. In some cases, it may be necessary to place a drainage tube in order to allow a cyst to continue to drain for a few days. Your doctor will secure the tube using stitches and the opening will be less than a ¼ inch (6 mm) in diameter. This process is called "marsupialization."
Suture the area if necessary. After the cyst has been fully drained and the cyst wall has been removed, your doctor will suture the area where the incision was made. You may need to wear a bandage over this area as well. Make sure that you follow your doctor's instructions for caring for the surgical wound. Call your doctor if you notice any signs of infection including:
- Redness, particularly red streaks emanating from the wound site
- Warmth
- Swelling
- Pus
- Intense throbbing at the wound site
- Fever of 100.4 °F (38°C) or more
Take antibiotics as instructed. Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic as part of the follow-up treatment for an infected cyst or if your cyst was related to a sexually transmitted infection. If your doctor prescribes an antibiotic, then it is important to use it exactly as directed. Make sure that you take the full prescription or you may be at a higher risk of infection, re-infection, or complications later on.
Take a Sitz bath for Bartholin cysts. Soaking in a warm Sitz bath may help drain Bartholin cysts. To prepare a Sitz bath, fill your bathtub with a few inches of warm water. Then soak in the tub for about 15 minutes. Repeat this process several times each day for a three or four days to make it easier for your cysts to burst and drain.
- Adding a bit of Epsom salts to the water, along with lavender essential oil, can help to heal the cyst faster and provide relief. You can alternate this with adding a half cup of apple cider vinegar to the bath for added relief.
Apply tea tree oil to the cyst. Tea tree oil has been found useful for many different skin conditions, so it might help with a sebaceous cyst as well.
Mix three drops of tea tree essential oil with seven drops of castor oil. Then, use a cotton ball or Q-tip to apply this mixture directly to your cyst four times per day.
Use aloe vera gel. Aloe vera gel seems to have antibacterial properties and some studies have shown that it promotes wound healing as well. You can apply aloe vera gel directly to your cyst to encourage a cyst to drain and heal. Let the aloe vera gel dry and then rinse the area with warm water. Repeat this process a few times per day.
Dab some witch hazel onto the cyst. Witch hazel is often used to bring down swelling and it also has astringent qualities, so applying witch hazel to a cyst may help to dry it out. Soak a cotton ball or a Q-tip with some witch hazel and dab it onto your cyst. Repeat this process a few time throughout the day.
Soak the area in apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is often used to help with skin conditions such as acne, so it may also help to dry out a cyst and promote drainage. You can apply apple cider vinegar directly to the cyst with a cotton ball or Q-tip. Repeat the application a few times per day.
- If the vinegar stings or irritates your skin, you can use a mixture of half apple cider vinegar and half water.
Place a chamomile teabag on the cyst. Chamomile is often used to help treat skin conditions, so it may help to reduce inflammation and promote healing of your cyst. Try placing a warm chamomile teabag on your cyst for about five minutes. Repeat this process a few times per day. Drinking the tea may help to clear your lymphatic system and improve healing time.

Makeup has come a long way in the past few decades, especially with the booming of the cosmetics market. While you may be a pro in the intricacies of this craft, are you sure you're not ignoring the need of dressing up your eyes? It is said that one can stare into the soul of a person by looking at their eyes. Perhaps that is why so many women put the effort in dressing up the most beautiful part of their body with liners, shadow, and mascara. But what about those who do not like to apply makeup or are simply allergic to it? For them, eyelash tinting is a great option! Read More › "Eyelash Tinting vs. Mascara"

Amina hates the spotlight; she has a hard time projecting her voice. Even though she loves music, Amina would rather stay in the background. But she at the age when everything starts to change.My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. I loved Amina's struggle to find her voice and her courage. I enjoyed the family dynamics. I really loved the Oregon Trail game - brings me right back to my childhood. I liked the food descriptions and the family celebrations. My heart broke when the mosque was vandalized. But I loved how the community came together to help. I really enjoyed the friendship moments between Soojin and Amina and the new friendship with Emily.
Her best friend is just about to become a US Citizen and she's thinking of changing her name. Soojin wants a more American name. Amina can't imagine calling her best friend by another name. Emily starts hanging around both girls. Amina isn't interested in Emily's friendship but Soojin befriends her.
Amina's uncle is coming to stay with them for a time. He's stricter than her parents. His ideas make Amina nervous - especially the ones about music.
Music soothes Amina's soul. With all the changes in her life, it's the one thing that gives her joy. Especially after someone vandalizes their mosque. Can she use music to help her and other heal?
Cover Thoughts: I love the colors. Enticing.

"You just be taking shit too far! Why not just let it go?!"
I wish this was a story — well, it is, only it's happened many, many times with me on the receiving end of the above statement.
Me, I like to push people. Not just for their benefit; that's rarely the initial reason for me to push anyone (unless I'm hired to do so — then it is). I push people because I want to know who exactly I'm dealing with. I want to know how far a person is willing to go. And I'll go further and further to find out.
We call this brinksmanship.
Many people, I've learned, don't like to be pushed. They push back against it, quit, or start avoiding me. Ha.
Today is about finding out what people around you are made of. You don't want to be the last person to find out.

Corvette Z06's Speed Makes Mom Nervous
Happy Mother's day in advance. A son decided to take his mom out for a spin in a Z06. The problem with this is that this man is best known for driving his motorcycle into a pool. The video shows the poor mother not enjoying the ride because of the sheer power of the Corvette. If you have ever thought about going full speed in a Corvette with a loved one in the vehicle then this might change your mind.

Key Takeaways:
1. A son decided to take his mother out for a drive in a Corvette Z06.
2. Unfortunately, the drive occurred on a race track.
3. The son used 60% of the vehicle's speed and the mother did not enjoy it.
Quote: "To help soothe her nerves, Khashabi gives her a quick update on the state of his Corvette's tune. Pushing somewhere in the vicinity of 550 horses to the rear wheels, the car is no slouch when running down Sonoma's straighter sections." (Turnology.com, 2017)

Common Questions About The Martial Arts and Fitness Programs We Offer
- Page 5
How many women train at Dragon Gym Muay Thai?
Actually, a lot! The classes at DGMT have just about a 50-50 male to female student ratio. Muay Thai is all about the use of technique and is perfectly suited for females—a demographic we specialize in teaching.
What should I do if I can't make it to one of my trial classes?
If you can't make it to one of your designated trial classes, just let us know! All you have to do is give us a call at (610) 363-7575, and we'll schedule in a new class for you.
Where are Dragon Gym's MuayThai Kickboxing Classes Located?
The original DGMT is located at the legendary Dragon Gym Martial Arts and Fitness facility in Exton, PA. The address is 267 S. Whitford Road, Exton, PA. We are just minutes away from Downingtown, West Chester, and Malvern, PA.
When are Muay Thai classes held and how do I get more information?
We offer a variety of Muay Thai classes through the week. However, we start all new students with a free, no obligation orientation lesson with one of our Muay Thai Instructors. This will give you a chance to see what Muay Thai training is all about and give us the chance to recommend the best program for you. Just give us a call 610-363-7575 and we'll be more than happy to help you get started.
Do I have to fight or compete?
No. Not everyone who trains Muay Thai is a fighter. Most of our students take classes to learn the art of Muay Thai, gain some self-defense skills, get in great shape and be part of a supportive community. We take you as far as you're comfortable going and will guide you every step of the way if, one day, you decide that you would like to mark a Muay Thai match off your bucket list.
There's a lot of talk about technique and progression, but I just want to learn how to fight. Can I compete if I want to?
You sure can. Of course, we want to make sure you're proficient in the basics and have sound fighting technique first. Then you can join the DGMT fight team. We actually have two WKA world champs on our team and Head Instructor Lonnie Beck is a member of the WKA National Team coaching staff.
Do I need to bring my own gear and equipment?
When you enroll in our Quick Start Muay Thai program, we'll give you a set of boxing gloves. That's all you need to get started. At the Dragon Gym we have a full complement of equipment: Thai Pads, heavy bags, targets, mats, jump ropes, and other helpful tools. As you continue training, you may want to invest in some personal safety wear such as shin pads and head gear.
Be expected to do more than what you're currently capable of, but unlike most other Muay Thai classes, you'll never feel embarrassed or left behind.
Do I need to be in really good shape to start Muay Thai?
Not at all. When you join Dragon Gym Muay Thai, you become part of something much greater than just a workout program. You become part of an incredibly supportive and encouraging community. We've literally helped hundreds of people at all levels of fitness get in the best shapes of their lives and learn the art of Muay Thai.
Our system is progressive and will work for anyone who commits to it. You'll never be expected to do more than what you are currently capable of, and unlike most other Muay Thai classes, you'll never feel embarrassed or left behind.
Do I need any prior Muay Thai, Kickboxing or Martial Arts experience?
Nope! Our Muay Thai Kickboxing program is completely progressive. This means we teach you exactly everything need to know in order to safely and effectively train. We take great pride in being a "technique first" system. Our program is based first on safety and helping you develop perfect technique. Many people who take our classes have never done Muay Thai before, but quickly fall in love with it.
What do I want to get out of the kickboxing program?
Sometimes the most important questions are those we ask ourselves. By determining your personal goals and expressing them to us, you have the opportunity to be sure that our program is the right fit for you.
So take a moment to discern what your personal goals are, whether they involve your fitness, health, or mental/emotional well-being, and use this introspection to your advantage. This helps make sure you get everything out of our classes that you're hoping for—and much, much more.

By Jason Powell, Prowrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)
Hulk Hogan spoke with BuffaloNews.com about attempting to rehabilitate his image. "People know me," Hogan said. "I'm human being like anybody else, and sometimes, people make mistakes. When they do, you watch that person a little bit more closely than you did before to see what kind of person they really are. I just want people to judge me by my actions, not a few misspoken words. To those few fans who feel (hurt), I'm forever sorry, and I'll do whatever I can to make them feel comfortable with me."
Hogan was also asked about rumors of him returning to WWE. "Until you hit a home run, it's not a home run," replied Hogan. "All these things say it's imminent or rumors, that's like saying 'maybe, possibly, could be.' Until I'm back home with the WWE, I'm not home. Hopefully some day I can go back home and be with my family, the wrestlers and all the people I love. I just really, really hope it happens." Read the full interview at BuffaloNews.com.
Powell's POV: Hogan did the interview to promote his appearance at the Nickel City Con event on May 19. I continue to assume that Hogan will return to WWE sooner rather than later, though it remains to be seen in what capacity they will use him. It's interesting that used the words "few fans" while discussing those who are still upset with him. Based on the feedback I get whenever I run a story on Hogan it certainly seems like there's more than a few fans who fall into that category.
The new edition of the Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast with Jason Powell features Vice TV's "Dark Side of the Ring" executive producers Evan Husney and Jason Eisner discussing the March 24 second season premiere focusing on the Benoit family tragedy, plus their pro wrestling fandom, the show's name and origins, highlights of season two, Chris Jericho becoming the narrator, and much more...

Morning yoga, anyone?
I practice yoga every morning. Even if I only have 10 minutes, I get on my mat to move my breath and body. This ensures that my day gets off to a good start.
I remember when I finally committed to a morning yoga practice. I had already been a yogi for many years. I knew how much better my life was when I practiced yoga regularly. (And, I knew how much worse it was when I didn't!). But I didn't have a regular morning practice. In fact, I rarely practiced yoga or exercised in the morning before work. I mostly practiced yoga in the evening.
Looking back, I didn't know what I was missing! It wasn't until I become a mom (nearly 18 years ago!) that I developed a morning yoga practice. (If you're a mom, you know how time gets compressed and personal time becomes extremely precious when kids come along.) After I had kids, I realized that if I wanted a daily practice, I better do it in the morning while my husband was around and could be with the kids, because if it wasn't going to happen then, there was an extremely high chance that it wouldn't happen later because I would be too tired.
So, I committed. And I haven't looked back. Doing a yoga practice each morning is key for getting my day off to a vibrant start.
(Read on and and I'll share a link to a yoga practice you can do tomorrow morning!)
My top reasons for doing an AM yoga practice:,,
Annie Barrett. Educator, certified health coach, educator and yoga instructor.

By Kendall Little Bankrate.com
WWR Article Summary (tl;dr) Kendall Little takes us through a number of options for the investor who wants to play it safe.
Fixed-income investments play an important role in an investment portfolio. Returns are relatively predictable, and they're usually much less risky than stocks.
The trade-off, of course, is that in lowering risk exposure, investors are likely to see lower returns over the long run. That may be fine if your goal is to preserve capital and maintain a steady flow of interest income. But if you're looking for growth, consider investing strategies that match your long-term goals.
Risk tolerance and time horizon play big roles in deciding how much to allocate to fixed income. Conservative investors or those near retirement may be more comfortable allocating a larger percentage of their portfolios to fixed income to minimize risk. Those with stronger stomachs and workers still accumulating a retirement nest egg probably should diversify more. Be prepared to do your homework and shop around. If you're looking to minimize your portfolio's risk, here are a few of the safest investments to look into.
-Certificates of deposit Certificates of deposit, or CDs, are issued by banks and generally offer a higher interest rate than savings accounts. These federally insured time deposits have specific maturity dates that can range from several weeks to several years. Because these are "time deposits," you cannot withdraw the money for a specified period of time without penalty. The financial institution pays you interest at regular intervals. Once the CD matures, you get your original principal back plus any accrued interest. There are several different types, including jumbo, callable and flexible CDs.
Risk: CDs are considered safe investments. However, they do carry reinvestment risk _ the risk that when interest rates fall, investors will earn less when they re-invest principal and interest in new CDs with lower rates. Or, the risk that rates will rise and investors won't be able to take advantage because they've already locked their money into a CD.
Consider laddering CDs-investing money in CDs of varying terms, so that all your money isn't tied up in one instrument for a long time. CD returns are inching up after years of historically low rates, but it's important to note that inflation and taxes could significantly erode the purchasing power of your money. Liquidity: CDs aren't as liquid as savings accounts or money market accounts because you tie up your money until the CD reaches maturity, often for months or years. It's possible to get at your money sooner, but generally you'll pay a penalty.
-Money market accounts A money market account is an FDIC-insured, interest-bearing deposit account. Don't confuse money market accounts with money market funds, which are mutual funds that typically are not FDIC-insured. Money market accounts typically earn higher interest than savings accounts and require higher minimum balances. In exchange for better interest earnings, consumers usually have to accept more restrictions on withdrawals, such as limits on how often you can access your money.
Compare rates on money market accounts to find the right account for you.
Risks: Inflation is the main threat. If inflation rates exceed the interest rate earned on the account, your purchasing power could be diminished. In addition, you could lose some or all of your principal if your account is not FDIC-insured (although the vast majority are) or if you have more than the $250,000 FDIC-insured maximum in any one account.
Liquidity: Federal regulations limit withdrawals to six per month (or statement cycle), of which no more than three can be check transactions.
-Money market funds Money market mutual funds _ also known as money market funds _ are a saving and investing option offered by banks, brokerages and mutual fund companies. Money market funds are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and are required to invest in short-term debt securities, such as certificates of deposits and U.S. Treasury bills. Though they are not FDIC-insured, the funds have historically tried to maintain a share price of $1, but there's no guarantee a fund will be able to maintain the share price.
Risks: The SEC prohibits the average maturity of fund investments from exceeding 90 days. Restricting investments to such short terms helps reduce risk to the investor by protecting them from major rate fluctuations that may occur over longer periods. Interest rates can vary, so there's no guarantee of how much you'll earn from month to month. Further, there's no guarantee that the share price will remain stable at $1 per share. If the share price dips below $1, you could lose some of your principal. When a money market fund is unable to maintain a $1 net asset value, or NAV, it's known as "breaking the buck." When investors redeem shares in money market funds, they are repaid at the fund's NAV calculated on the day the investors place the redemption order. While money market funds are not insured, some funds are temporarily protected.
Liquidity: Money market funds, like money market accounts, often provide check-writing and money transfer privileges for shareholders.
-Treasury securities The U.S. government issues various types of securities to raise money to pay for projects and pay its debts. Treasury bills, or T-bills, are short-term debt instruments with maturities that range from a few days to 52 weeks. T-bills technically are not interest-bearing. They are sold at a discount from their face value, but when they mature, the government pays you full face value. For example, if you buy a $1,000 T-bill for $980, you would earn $20 on your investment.
Treasury notes, or T-notes, are issued in terms of two, three, five, seven and 10 years and pay interest every six months until they mature. The price of a note may be greater than, less than or equal to the face value of the note, depending on demand. If demand by investors is high, the notes will trade at a premium, which effectively reduces investor return. Upon maturity, investors are paid its face value.
Treasury bonds are issued with 30-year maturities and pay interest every six months. They are sold at auction throughout the year. The price and yield are determined at auction. Upon maturity, you are paid its face value. All three types of Treasury securities are offered in increments of $100.
Risks: Treasury securities are considered virtually risk-free because they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. You can count on getting interest and your principal back at maturity.
However, the value of securities fluctuates, depending on whether interest rates are up or down. In a rising rate environment, existing bonds lose their allure because investors can get a higher return from newly issued bonds. Therefore, if you try to sell your bond before maturity, you may experience a capital loss. Treasuries also are subject to inflation pressures. If the interest rate of the security is not as high as inflation, investors lose purchasing power.
Because they mature quickly, T-bills may be the safest treasury security investment. The risk of holding them is not as great as with longer-term T-notes or Treasury bonds.
Liquidity: All Treasury securities are very liquid, but if you sell prior to maturity you may experience gains or losses, depending on the interest rate environment.
-Government bond funds Government bond funds are mutual funds that invest in debt securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies. The funds invest in debt instruments such as T-bills, T-notes, T-bonds and mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
These government bond funds are well-suited for the low-risk investor.
Risks: Funds that invest in government debt instruments are considered to be among the safest investments because the securities are backed by the faith and credit of the U.S. government. However, like other mutual funds, the fund itself is not government-backed and is subject to risks _ namely interest rate fluctuations and inflation. If interest rates rise, prices of existing bonds decline, and if interest rates decline, prices of existing bonds rise. Interest rate risk is greater for long-term bonds. Further, if the inflation rate rises, purchasing power can be diminished.
