This clip not only features the epic on-screen battle between the two mega-stars, but also breaks down the science behind the action.
Don't let a lack of equipment or gym access stop you from having a killer workout!
I see terrible training mistakes on an almost daily basis, and not just the ones veteran meatheads like to post on social media to poke fun at someone in the gym who doesn't know any better.
With your hands much closer to the weight plates, the angle of your forearms is beyond perpendicular to the floor. That shifts the emphasis to your chest—particularly the outer pecs—and puts a greater load on your shoulders. You get much less triceps activity done this way, but you can usually push more weight, since you use a lot of chest and the bar only travels a short distance. However, some people find that this extra strength comes at the expense of shoulder pain.
Instead, focus on improving your volume with each specific lift each time you enter the gym instead of each time you use an exercise for a specific muscle group. That means if you've got a total volume of X for the triceps pushdown, you aim to do more the next time you do a triceps pushdown, even if you're going to be doing other triceps exercises for the next few workouts.

Here's a strategy: Think of the desserts that seem "off limits" on a diet, then make those same treats with ingredients that actually support your goals. Or think of the things people consider bland "diet food" and learn to make them taste good with seasonings, dips, or sauces that you whip up yourself. Get the best of both worlds – flavor and nutrition.
Turkish get-ups (TGUs) require you to change your body position from lying down to standing up as you hold a weight up in the air. It recruits all of the scapular stabilizers at different points in the movement. Similarly, waiter's walks require the stabilizers to maintain scapular control as you walk with a weight above your head. Combining both of these exercises together sends the demand through the roof.
The model, actress, and advocate certainly made the most of some down time.
Hold dumbbells at your sides with palms facing you. Raise the weights up in front of you to shoulder level with thumbs pointing up. Complete 12–15 reps and then raise the weights out to your sides 90 degrees (bend your elbows a bit as you lift). Complete your reps and then switch to a lighter pair of dumbbells. Raise them out to your sides and up to ear level with straight arms and thumbs pointing up. Hold this position 30 seconds. Squeeze your glutes to help support you.
How to do it: Place your right foot in front of you on an aerobic step or a 25kg Olympic lifting bumper plate. Keep this foot flat against the surface and stay on the ball of your left foot; this will bear your weight. With your abs tight and back straight, drive your front knee forward so it passes over your toes (which can require a certain amount of ankle mobility) and let your left knee lower naturally until it just about touches the floor. Drive back up through your right leg. This is important: The driving force behind this exercise is your front knee, not your rear knee, King stresses.

Any fatburner can make someone's face melt with an insane onslaught of caffeine derivatives and then hide behind the "hardcore" identity when athletes are unhappy with the blunt instrument approach to priming their body for a tough workout. Reaction Nutrition's fatburner formula Lean Action Maximum Strength has all the stimulatory powers to help you flip that beast mode switch, but applies them in a way that is smart and thoughtful to the end-user.
This week, Joe sits down with WWE superstar (and original "DeFranco Disciple") Enzo Amore. Their conversation is jam-packed with funny stories, life lessons, and laughs…
Prior to competing, I received conjoining degrees at the University of Oregon in economics and business administration with a focus in finance and was a first-time homeowner at the age of 19. I always dabbled in modeling yet was never a "fitness" girl in terms of being educated in nutrition or weight lifting, although I was athletic from a young age and played sports my entire adolescence. My career direction drastically changed when I realized my strong passion for the fitness and health industry and have since then made it my everyday life as the owner of an online training company called ADO Fitness, along with being a nutrition/prep coach, posing instructor, endorsed athlete, NPC judge, and fitness model.
Another issue is that these exercises are all bodyweight moves. That's not to say bodyweight exercise can't be effective. I've seen enough crazy YouTube videos to know that bodyweight moves does a body good. And they are also extremely convenient for anyone without access to a gym. But the greatest benefit of high intensity training—not to mention the circuit training study mentioned–wasn't performed with bodyweight exercises; they were done with added resistance, says Schoenfeld, where the weight could be manipulated to correspond to a given rep-max. (In other words, a percentage of your max strength.) The use of bodyweight does not afford this benefit, and for those who are fairly fit it would be difficult to achieve a consistent maximum level of intensity for 30 seconds that would compare to doing a similar length of time with added resistance. To use the squat example: Doing 80% of your 1-rep max on squats for a similar period of time would be much more difficult than doing 7-minutes of bodyweight squats.
Today's world of competitive fitness— from Men's Physique to Classic Physique to Bikini—places a major emphasis on broad, round shoulders that stand out and wave to the judges. They are the single most important factor in creating a flow that V-tapers into a small midsection and then flares back out to a strong lower body. This superlative asset is prized by both men and women, and is key for those who decide to take their personal fitness to the next level and compete. For others, it simply creates a very primal sexual appeal in the eye of the beholder.

While it's okay to chow down on the occasional fast-food choice for convenience, a mass-gain program isn't an excuse to gorge on pizza and chocolate sundaes. "Rebuilding muscle tissue broken down by training requires energy - in other words, calories," says bodybuilding nutritional guru Chris Aceto. "But many people, including many nutritionists, overestimate the energy needs for gaining mass, encouraging extreme high-calorie intakes. This often leads to an increase in bodyfat, making you bigger, for sure, but also leaving you fat." In general, aim for 300-500 more calories every day than your body burns through exercise and normal functioning (multiply bodyweight by 17). And that's divided among six meals a day.

Focus is critical. ("When you go into the gym you have a job to do," LaCerte says.) Unfortunately, he says sometimes people "bring other stressors into the gym, or it [becomes] social hour" and your gym time expands considerably because "you're doing a set over here, [then] you're talking for 12 minutes, then you're going back and doing another set." LaCerte indicates that's counterproductive because "it's not how the body works when we're trying to build muscle and lose fat," and it "can definitely lead to overtraining or ineffective training altogether."
Why would he be known for his shoulders though his delts lagged? In a word: clavicles. Like his idol Franco Columbu, what Dixon lacks in height he makes up for in width. The 5'4" Columbu sported collarbones as wide as 6'2" Arnold Schwarzenegger's, and, like a kite stretched over a huge frame, his corresponding set of lats could eclipse the backs of Arnold and others who towered over him. Dixon is the same way. He has the shoulder structure of a giant, but that's not to say he hasn't toiled hard over the past two decades to build one of the world's best backs below his clavicles. With his Columbu-like combination of width and thickness, he won the light-heavy class of the 2007 NPC Nationals. Though he qualified for the Olympia 202 Showdown the following two years, he seemed destined for pro mediocrity. He spent three years away from stages, dealing with "personal issues" and contemplating retirement.
If you want to be successful, then you better lay off the weed, according to scientists at UC Davis and Duke. "People who smoked cannabis four or more days of the week over many years ended up in a lower social class than their parents, with lower-paying, less skilled and less prestigious jobs than those who were not regular cannabis smokers," study author Magdalena Cerdá said in a press release . Cerdá and her colleagues had more bad news to share—cannabis users also had more financial troubles, antosicial behaivor at work, and experienced more relationship problems.
"A successful booty call or text should be specific (i.e. don't just say 'Hey, let's meet up'), actionable on the guy's end (i.e. you're not making me trek across a city), and not vulgar. We both know a late-night get-together can very well end in sex, but don't be crude about it. A good example: 'I know it's late, and this is probably mildly annoying, but what if I come over with take-out and we watch finally catch up on Game of Thrones ? I'll even let you eat some of my pad Thai.'" - Marissa F.
When it comes to the midsection, the abs get all the best adjectives (six-pack, washboard). Yet a set of shredded obliques doesn't have the same notoriety. That doesn't mean that welldeveloped obliques aren't critical to having a great midsection. Ripped obliques frame the abs and complete the entire area. And, no, training obliques will not make them too big — it will make them more defined as long as your bodyfat is low. One of the best ways to build impressive notches along the sides of your midsection is to do standing cable oblique crunches (not pictured). To perform this exercise, hold onto a D handle attached to a high-cable pulley with your right hand while standing with your right shoulder facing the cable pulley. Hold the handle in a similar manner to the very top of a curl and maintain this arm position as you bend sideways at the waist. Hold the bottom position for a second before returning to the start position. Repeat for reps and then perform on the left side.

The next two weeks are make-or-break, but I'm feeling good. I've been meeting with a sport psychologist to bring my mental game up to par, too. I can't share what we've discussed, but it's been really helpful to me and I'm excited to see how it affects the rest of my peak.
Bracing drills like Stuart McGill's "big 3" and stuff like ab wheel and stir the pot are likely to help the most. Personally, I stopped training abs once I learned to brace properly and my lifts have only gone up as a result. Some people might benefit from training abs (especially if you don't know how to brace properly, which McGill's exercises will teach you) but it comes at a cost to recovery as well. I think that to increase the squat and deadlift I'm better off squatting and deadlifting more rather than putting that time and energy into ab work.

When focusing on glutes, the quads and hams will become strong and shapely. This is due to the performance of squats, lunges, deadlifts, and back extensions. However, if I added in too many leg extensions, leg presses, leg curls, and glute ham raises, or if I prioritized these movements, then over time some of my female clients would develop legs that were too big for their liking and not enough glute prominence.

Great product that doesn't give you the jitters which gives you the option of taking it in the evening.
It controlled my appetite all day and provided great energy to power through a 10 hour workday.
Another great product of RSP!
When squatting, your hip joint should pass your knee. If it doesn't, then you're most likely lacking flexibility in the hips and ankles. Over time, joints stiffen if they're not exercised properly, and when we spend most of our time sitting—at our desk, on a couch, in a car—chances are good that your joints could be next. That's a problem since "ass to grass," or ATG squats, recruit more muscle fibers, better stretch the muscles, and are safer on your knees because sinking closer to the ground increases hip drive, taking some of the load off of that area. Use the fixes at right to get your squat up (or down) to par.
Secondly, deadlifts work your grip like no other. Even after I've played eight hours a day (or even all night), my finger movements still feel effortless; I've trained them to adapt to the constant demands I put on them. A lot of gamers like me, who play first-person-shooter games, struggle with forearm and finger strength.
Male subjects in a Syracuse University (New York) study performed workouts comprising either supersets or straight sets. For the straight set workout, they did bench presses followed by barbell bent-over rows, then barbell curls followed by lying triceps extensions, and then leg extensions followed by leg curls, performing four sets for each exercise. They rested one minute between all sets and exercises. For the superset workout, they paired bench presses with barbell bent-over rows, barbell curls with lying triceps extensions and leg extensions with leg curls, all for four sets each. They rested one minute between all supersets.
If your body isn't quite where you want it to be, this is the place to start.
Now, you'll probably read a lot about the power of IGF-1 in many reports about Ray Lewis. And while it's true that IGF-1 is illegal in man-made form, let's not mistake illegal products (because they are synthetic) with guaranteed amazing results. IGF-1 can have a significant impact on your body, but it's not that easy to get the levels you need from deer antler. In fact, given what's in a typical bottle, it is damn near impossible.
It has recently been made even more difficult since WADA added an extra veil of difficulty. High-risk pool athletes are required to provide a detailed quarterly whereabouts report that not only accounts for every day of their lives, where they spend the night, work, train, etc., but also includes a one-hour window where the athlete will be available every day at a specific time and location so that they can be visited by a tester. But, CrossFit isn't taking WADA's lead on this one, so you don't have to worry.
You may be pulling for that finish line, but make it a habit to watch your stride length—especially at the end of a taxing workout. While biomechanics and varying leg length make it impossible to prescribe an exact distance, shorter is always better. "When you're getting back into the sport, spend the first two weeks purposely staying with a relatively short stride to reduce the liability of shin splints," says Jeff Galloway, an Olympian who has coached over one million runners to their goals. Practice with a cadence drill once a week every week. Count your cadence—how many times you turn over—on one foot for 30 seconds. Then, take a 30-second break. Repeat for 4-8 sets, aiming to add an additional count each time. "Research shows that as runners become faster their stride shortens, so the key to boost mechanical efficiency is to increase turnover rate," says Galloway. Keep in mind there is no magic number. A prescribed turnover rate might drive some individuals to failure and not be enough for others.
Scott did a great job of checking in throughout the evening and being there to help with attempts. Still tough because he'd have a better idea if he could see the lifts in person and take note of everything else. He stayed glued to his phone throughout the evening as my friend Jess sent videos and texts and relayed his plan back to me. Making sure I rested, ate, drank and had my warmups all set too. Thank you Scott for your attentiveness, encouragement and knowing just what I needed for the day.
Most of us care how strong we are because let's face it, we all like to show off a little. But truth be told, our ultimate goals involve putting pounds on our body rather than putting pounds on the barbells we lift. Still, increasing strength should be a priority, as being stronger can lead to bigger muscles. Enter our Pure Power Program.
Forget the headache and upset stomach—a little aspirin, some water, a mid-day nap, and you'll be fine. No, it's those 600-800 empty calories you put in your diet (and that's just from the beer). Once you've shaken yourself back to reality and gotten over the guilt, it's time to get back at it in the gym. That's where the DETOX plan comes in.
I was wondering if there was any point in the deload week as I do not reduce the intensity/load of my other training so my muscles are not really getting much of a rest. Happy to keep the deload week just don't want to waste my time if there's no real point in it.

Set up each base triangle with 5 stitches.
Tier 1 block: Pick up 5 stitches and continue until 2 stitches remain on the bottom triangle to which it attaches. Increase the number of rows in this block by skipping one 'attach' stitch (in this case p2tog). Essentially, a short row is employed to add 2 extra rows to the block. Continue to finish. Repeat for each block in the tier.
Tier 2 block: Now you're picking up stitches from the elongated blocks of tier 1. So pick up extra stitches accordingly. In this case, 6 (instead of 5). Use short row as before to add 2 extra rows to this widened block. Repeat for each block in the tier.
Tier 3 block: Pick up 6 stitches and elongate by 6 extra rows placing the short rows evenly.
Tier 4 block: Pick up (6+(6/2)), ie, 9 stitches and add 6 extra rows as in tier 3 blocks.
And so on. It takes 2 tiers to complete an increase. The first tier makes the blocks longer. The second makes them wider and you're done with that specific increase.
The woven fabric is simple but each 'band' radiates outwards in ever increasing size. This creates a spiraling effect.
The other method of creating bigger blocks are:
alternative 1:
each tier: pick up n extra stitches and also elongate by nx2 rows. This would take 1 tier instead of 2 for a single step of increase.

He died nine years ago but that hasn't stopped the music. Jerry Garcia and his band mates of The Grateful Dead have hundreds of recordings and over 1,000 concerts to draw from and release. "It's a matter of demand," says Dead historian and Garcia estate publicist Dennis McNally. Deadheads will continue to buy the material as long as the estate and record companies will supply the music.
Several Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia recordings were released earlier this year.
"All Good Things" is a 6 CD set of Jerry Garcia studio sessions.
"Rockin' the Rhein" is a 3 disc live set,
Dick's Picks live series has released two sets of 6 CD packages,
"1839" is a 3 CD live set of Garcia that launched the "Pure Jerry" live concert series; and there's more to come.
"After Midnight" is a 3 CD set of Garcia at Kean College on February 28, 1980. The set will be released on Sept 28.
"Beyond Description" is a sequel to the 10 disc "The Golden Road" by Rhine Records. The 12 disc set provides 15 hours of music via 10 studio albums and 65 previously unreleased material. "Beyond Description" will be released on October 26.
"The Grateful Dead Movie" is a documentary that was shot 30 years ago. The movie will be released on November 9 as a DVD with 90 minutes of newly unearthed footage.
Since 1991, the Grateful Dead have sold over 13 million copies of their music. And they don't show any sign of slowing down.

Contemporary California residence with indoor pool
This beautiful and impressive building is a contemporary residence located on Chain Bridge Road NW, Washington, DC, United States. The house has been beautifully updated and it's currently on the market at the price of $2,950,000. The most impressive feature would have to be the 40' indoor pool but the rest of the property is exquisite as well.
The house sits on a ½ acre of land and it features imposing glass walls and many architectural details such as the floating staircase or the green roof. Moreover, the property also has a stunning waterfall, a sauna and a sundeck. The house covers a surface of 5,414 square feet. It has 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms. Originally, it has been built in 1977 and it has been recently renovated and updated. It's a luxurious residence with many wonderful features, both indoor and outdoor.
Inside, the house is functionally structured. It features beautiful vaulted ceilings and spacious rooms, all with its own character but that also follow a main pattern. Because of the limited space, the owners preferred to build the pool indoors. It was also a convenient choice that allows them to enjoy it regardless of the time of the year. The pool is situated on the ground floor where it occupies almost the entire level. The rest of the rooms are on the upper level. Both floors feature expansive glass walls, high ceiling and contemporary interior decors.

Are You Looking for a Dental Crown Enhancement to Improve Your Smile?
posted: Apr 29, 2017.
Are you looking for a dental crown enhancement to improve your smile? A dental crown is a tooth restoration procedure that can save a tooth from extraction by preventing further damage from occurring by binding a cap directly on top of the selected tooth completely concealing it in the process. Dental crowns can also upgrade the look of a damaged or discolored tooth as they can be designed for the look and color you desire, ensuring a seamless blend into your smile.
No matter if your teeth have been altered over a lifetime of wear, dental crowns may still be able to save damaged teeth. Weak or decayed teeth can also benefit from dental crowns, and in some cases, a tooth may be broken or fractured, but a dental crown could be tailored to hold the piece together and save the tooth.
Many other dental treatments can also benefit from the use of dental crowns such as root canals, dental fillings, and dental implants. Dental crowns can also be used in situations where the damage to a tooth is too severe to be fixed with other treatments.
If you would like to learn more about dental crowns or to book a professional cleaning with Alan L. Nix DDS, contact us at our dentist office in Terrell, Texas. Our number is 972-563-7633. Dr. Alan Nix and our entire team look forward to your visit.

One of the myths that we believe today is that God is a bit of a wimp. Since every picture we see of Jesus he has long flowing hair and has a gentle, peaceful expression in his eye, clearly he couldn't handle himself in a fight. In fact, all he does all day is look thoughtfully into people's eyes and tell them how much God loves them, right?
Well, not if you read Matthew 23. Jesus walks into church while the pastors are there and publicly says this:
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves. Matthew 23:13-15
Let's briefly review, he said they were hypocrites, they don't let people into Heaven, and that they themselves were going to hell. One begins to understand why they were trying to kill him. He says much more in the chapter, but this is a good summary.
Far from being a wimp marching through Palestine telling everyone to be nice to each other, Jesus has a sharp edge to him. Certainly he advocated loving your enemy and turning the other cheek, but not like a wuss would. He did not love peace out of fear but out of courage. He trusted his Father so deeply and loved his enemies so much, he would publicly humiliate them to show them their hearts.
He also loved the crowd too much to let their hypocrisy reign unchecked. There were confused people in this crowd who were following these teachers. They needed to be warned.
One of the most influential works on my view of Jesus is The Visual Bible – The Gospel According to Matthew. Their interpretation of Jesus' confrontation is here. Bruce Marchiano, who plays Jesus, did the whole scene in one take and when he was done, he walked away and told the director, "He Loved them. It broke his heart because he loved them."
Far from the macho super independent man of the James Bond films, Jesus was tough because he loved.
Be Honest with God
There is a few important lessons for us in this. First, God is tough enough to take our honest prayers. I think we somehow protect God from our frustrations and anger with him because we think he has a sensitive ego. We don't want to hurt his feelings so we aren't honest with him. This is flatly not how Job, Moses, Elijah, David, Jonah, and Jeremiah talked with God. They clearly respected him, but as a Father they knew they could be honest with.
One of my favorite exchanges in all of scripture is Jonah's complaint to God when he spared Nineveh.
And he prayed to the Lord and said, "O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster. Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live." Jonah 4:2-3
Jonah had a sinful heart and he trusted God enough to be brutally honest with God about how he felt. And notice that despite Jonah's rank immaturity while he threw a tantrum to the God of the universe, God was patient with him. Even at Jonah's request, God didn't kill him.
We need to take a lesson from this. God is trustworthy not simply with our nice feeling, but our mean and selfish ones as well. It is hilarious that we try to hide our faults from an all-knowing God. We are a bit stupid sometimes.
Love Isn't Always Nice
The second lesson we should take away is that loving people will involve aggressive conflict sometimes. Love is always kind, but it is not always nice. Many times the grace of God to me has been men and women pushing me in not very nice ways. Sometimes they were outright sinning against me. But that did not mean that God was not teaching me something in it.
We need to be much more interested in serving people than in having smooth relationships with them. I fear that I am part of a generation of wimps who are much more interested in being liked by people than loving them. As I watch men grow in their relationship with God, almost universally they become more bold. With that boldness comes conflict. With the conflict will always come the criticism that they have become arrogant.
You see, none of us like to have our sin called out. It is much easier to blame the messenger than to search our hearts. Shooting them down as arrogant or the church word, legalistic, is a lot easier. That is not to say that there aren't arrogant and legalistic people in the church, but we should first search our hearts to see if they have a point.
Courage Comes from a Relationship with God
Jesus did not have his courage from a vacuum. He was doing "only what he sees the Father doing." We have the courage and wisdom to know when to confront people by being like God. If we stay close to him, that shields us from arrogance because it is a but silly to stand arrogantly next to God. We also live knowing that he is behind us and if I have his approval, I can deal with your anger.
Correction is Done with Gentleness
It is not enough to simply correct each other. We must do so with gentleness.
And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. 2 Tim 2:24-25a
We are being like our Father when we correct gently and patiently. There are many men out there correcting out of their anger and not out of love. The man who corrects out of love is looking to win his brother, not destroy his brother. The gentle, patient, and firm correction is a trademark of just such a man.
Gentlemen, we serve a tough and wonderful God. Let's lean heavily on him to give us the courage to not only do the nice thing, but the right thing.

The name of this week's episode was "Mo Money, Mo Problems" which makes no sense because we have learned that no one on this show has a penny to their names. The show is getting better, the relationships are getting worse. Once again, this week's episode of 90 Day Fiance totally delivered the shit show. Thanks TLC!
Let's check-in with the couples:
Jason and Cassia: Now that we are all best friends with Cassia (since she IM'd me on Facebook), she suddenly seems much more reasonable, and it is her circumstances that seem ridiculous. On the way to buy a bikini (why?), Jason did the angry-sneeze mid-crosswalk and ended up spitting on Cassia. Viewers could see the sneeze, like a cartoon illustration of snot and saliva in a cloud over a bad neighborhood in Florida. Cassia complained about Jason working all the time, but really he left to go get one of his 734 precious dogs groomed, so Cassia took this opportunity to unearth Jason's porn collection. Naturally, Jason treats his soft-core pornography magazines as investments, and was most concerned with Cassia "bending" his retirement plan. As Cassia expressed her concern with the naked lady magazines, Jason's dad awkwardly stood 5 feet away Swiffering his recently refurbished floor. Oh, and Jason tried on sexy men's bikini bottoms and I have no idea what was going on underneath there, but it would appear that Jason should see a doctor.
Mohammed and Danielle: First of all, Mohammed cooks for Danielle's girls. I find this fascinating! What Tunisian treats is he cooking up for this open-minded family? And when I say open-minded, I am referring to Danielle's sister Sarah, who along with her Duck Dynasty husband Paul, provides the only voices of reason in Danielle's life. Sarah is openly waving her hands in the air, screaming, "This is a huge mistake! Danielle, stop! This is a bad idea!" Sarah looks directly into the camera and says this immediately after saying it to Danielle's face. Sarah is a good sister. Danielle, meanwhile, has managed to keep her extreme financial troubles from Mohammed. I imagine this would be pretty easy to do, UNTIL THEIR CELL PHONES GET SHUT OFF. At this point, reality sinks in for Mohammed. His American girlfriend with the "acceptable" body, 4 children and animal cries doesn't have any money, US currency or otherwise. You and I are probably saying, "Duh Mohammed." But Mohammed seems genuinely surprised and pissed of. "Why you no tell me?" Uh, because you would find another impoverished desperate American to exploit. Obviously. Mohammed promises he won't leave Danielle provided she can resolve all of their financial problems before his Visa expires. Good luck, Danielle. You've got a $400 food bill coming with that wedding that is totally going to happen OUTDOORS.
Justin and Evelin: Justin and Evelin met Justin's tearful mom at Whispers in San Jose. I mention this because I have been there! Anyway, Justin's mom is not so much worried that Justin is marrying a stranger from Colombia but more upset that his brother Jake has more questions. To please his mother, Justin makes a driving-range date with his brother. They knock around some golf balls with their indiscernible regional accents, Jake says "I wish you'd have said something sooner is all" and Justin says, "Yeah, I get it. I'm all about the kissing. Evelin and I want to have you and your evil wife over for dinner so Evelin can cook Colombian food." That is probably going to go flawlessly!
Danny and Amy: Because they can so rarely spend time alone, Danny decides to take Amy on an ice-skating date. For the date, Danny wears this shirt. Amy decides the end to their perfect date will be snuggling on the couch watching a movie (probably SuperBook) and then older brother Nick comes down to the TV room wearing his costume from the touring cast of "Newsies" and sits in-between the couples, like the villain in an 80s movie. Nick AGAIN reminds Danny and Amy not to have sex, and then leaves. The mood is ruined, so Danny goes to bed. Soon thereafter, however, Danny comes upon Amy putting together their wedding invitations while she sits in a field at dusk. Danny takes this opportunity to inform the inter-racial Amy that his father is a horrible, horrible racist.
Chelsea and Yamir: Chelsea and Yamir took a break from not looking for a job to go shopping for antique wedding rings. Chelsea choose a giant silver pearl number because it has "a story" but Yamir and his "pop-star, flashy" style wants a new ring, probably with colorful diamonds and sound effects. While at the antique store, Yamir tries on a woman's fur coat to get ready for his first winter in the USA. According to Chelsea, until Yamir gets a green card, neither of them can work. Yep, totally makes sense. Yamir takes to his cell phone to check up on Myla Vox, and is appalled to discover that someone named "Eduardo" has taken his place in Nicaragua's premiere boy band. With Chelsea's encouragement, Yamir texts his lecherous manager Gabriel and impresses his surprise that Gabriel wasn't willing to wait until Yamir got married, let him record all of his vocals from thousands of miles away, and fly back and forth from rural Illinois to Nicaragua for all of Myla Vox's concerts. Gabriel responded at length, and basically told Yamir that he could go fuck himself. As an expert on international boy bands, I'm with Gabriel on this one. To be in Myla Vox, you need to be IN Myla Vox. If Myla Vox is really that big a deal, Chelsea can stay in Nicaragua, or the whole band needs to move to Miami anyway and try to make it in a country with running water. I like Yamir, and would prefer he and Amy elope to a friendly European country.
Brett and Daya: We took a break from Brett and Daya this week, but apparently next time on 90DF, Cassidy locks Daya out of the house. I CAN. NOT. WAIT.
Have you been checking out the Deleted Scenes on TLC's website? I will begin to explore ASAP.
I have been loving your comments, and feel like we should all get together and be best friends in real life (with Cassia.) What did I miss? What did you love/hate? And until next time, may all of your commercial breaks be brief!

True Story: I Got a Colonic + Loved it
It's true. I let a stranger stick a tube up my you-know-what and watched for 45 minutes as all manner of matter came out. It was a beautiful thing that I can't wait to do again—and not just because my stomach was flatter than a twentysomething's and I swear I lost a solid (ha. ew.) five pounds. For a very up-close and personal account of my first colonic, check out my column at mspmag.com. Just don't read it over lunch.
p.s. A very special thanks to Natalie at Move Colonics in St. Paul for putting me at ease and humoring my competitive colonic spirit. You are a saint in more ways than one!

PaulTurner911 Code
Share you PDE file with our community
I put it below void loop, it didnt activate after upload. Should I have it below void setup? I also changed it to 75
**Put it in both and it still hadnt turned the heater on.
I lost one of my codes and modified the second most recent but also update the libs. I could use a set of eyes on my current code. I think i put everything back and removed the ELSE definition because its in the libs now and was giving an error.
Thank you!!
The temp in your tank is 76.2 it won't go on until it drops below 75.
I checked the relay activity, it didnt activate port 2. I woke up and took it off the RA and plugged it in to a power strip and cranked the house heater.
Please help
Where'd you put it in the code? Can you post again?
Actually your code looks fine. Not sure why its not on. Are you sure you loaded the code above?
I have the code in both viod setup and viod loop, i was not sure where to put it, it compiles fine in both locations within the code.
This whats on there, uploaded it once with 74 as the activation, then 75. My chiller and RA are pretty far off on calibration. Ill throw a third on there to try to get an average and set the chillers correction factor. Ill upload it again and triple check.
Its uploading without any issues... Port 2 is still not on
Something in my code conflicting? Could it have to do with the internal memory setting in the portal? I have assigned temps to them , but how would they know the ports for the chiller and heater?
Could or should I run the wizard again and cut my code in?
The internal memory is not used with the command i gave you.
For now i recommend just manually tirn the port on and rely on the heater thermostat plus you have the chiller. I'm not sure why its not working. It should also be in loop not setup.
Ok, Ill remove it from the void setup section.
I would really like to have this functioning properly in the near future? What can I do to help troubleshoot? Can i confirm the file on the RA? Like I said, it should give an error if the RA was not taking the code, its uploading fine all around.
Maybe Roberto could take a look. I dont have an extra probe I can test with at the moment but I don't see anything wrong. I'll try and take another look later tonight.

Ah better. Woke to 38 degrees and clear skies. The roads are wet with a few dry tire tracks, back on the bike. Was really nice to be back out and not in the cage. The forward controls are a nice change. Traffic was easy to deal with for a work day. It's really nice when noone tries to run over you :)
They claim we may actually get some snow around the house and up towards the mountains. I'll believe it when I see it. Pretty sure Atlanta and the perimeter won't get any of it, if it does.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and gets some riding time in...ride safe!

They did it in 2009, then did it again in 2010.
They did it in 2009, then did it again in 2010.
And got away with it.
In both of those seasons, the Patriots went with just one backup for future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady, who, quite obviously, is more critical to the team's success than any other player on the roster.
And who was that backup?
Brian Hoyer, who reportedly has been waived as the Pats move to trim their roster to 53 by Friday night's 9 o'clock deadline.
The Patriots carried three QBs last year, having drafted Ryan Mallett in the third round out of Arkansas.
This season, coach Bill Belichick apparently feels Mallett has progressed to the point where he can capably be Brady's backup.
Brady has been amazingly durable throughout his career, starting every game since taking over for the injured Drew Bledsoe early in the 2001 season, with the exception of 2008, when Brady suffered torn knee ligaments in the season opener and missed the rest of that year.
But he's 35 years old now, and the New England offensive line has looked shaky -- to say the least -- in pass protection during this preseason.
Plus, any NFL team would consider itself fortunate to have its starting quarterback play all 16 games, even though rules have been established in recent years to try to protect the QB.
Mallett may well be able to step in for Brady -- especially if it's only for, let's say, two-to-four games.
But what happens if he does down, too?
That is, admittedly, a "doomsday scenario," but certainly isn't out of the question.
In a 2012 season in which the Patriots clearly look like the class of the AFC East, it would be a shame to see their divisional title hopes derailed because they got caught short at the all-important quarterback position.
As far as some of the other cuts made Friday . . .
Sorry to see veterans Deion Branch and Dan Koppen waived, but that's part of the business and happens to good players -- and good guys -- like them at the end of every summer.
Not a big surprise that James Ihedigbo is gone, even though he started 12 games last season.

I'm weirdly fond of Lev Grossman's The Magicians and I can't quite put my finger on why. It's campy, and self-aware, and god help me I love it.
I first picked it up because I liked the look of it – one of those judge-a-book-by-its-cover situations that works out surprisingly well. Since then it's become one of my favourites, and one of the few books that I actually reread on a regular basis.
The plot: Quentin Coldwater is a genius – at school subjects, at magic tricks, and especially when it comes to remember details about an old series of children's books about a magical land called Fillory. He masters calculus and classic literature with an aptitude bordering on boredom – and can't help feeling that there must be more to life than this.

Alajos Strobl(redirected from Alajos Stróbl)
Also found in: Wikipedia.
Strobl, Alajos
Born June 21, 1856, in Liptóújvár; died Dec. 13, 1926, in Budapest. Hungarian sculptor.
Strobl studied at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in the 1870's. His monumental works, such as the monuments to J. Arany (bronze, 1893) and other figures of Hungarian history and culture in Budapest, are dominated by a tendency toward superficial effects. Strobl's portrait work, including his self-portrait (terra-cotta, 1878, Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest), is characterized by moving, realistic expressiveness.

We've discussed the pros and cons of GST registration. Today we talk GST paperwork options.
First, you should keep up with all paperwork. Leaving it till the day before it's due suggests a poorly-run business. Successful enterprises stay on top of their stuff and know where they're going.
That's why, when our new clients go on Xero, we suggest they have a coffee and code their GST weekly.
Some start-ups prefer monthly GST to receive early refunds. Some large businesses must do monthly GST as the IRD wants their money sooner than later.
Most businesses do GST every two months. This combines regularity with IRD payment manageability.
If you meet IRD criteria you can do six-monthly GST and invest the 15% to earn interest. But you must be disciplined so you don't fall behind.
These are general comments. You should take independent advice before acting.


text: 10 years together, not quite yet, but on the 10th of February. Tina arranged a BBQ in the garden for friends, not all unfortunately but by heck the place was packed. Terry supplied some fine steaks and a HUGE ham plus Black Pudding (Yum), Martin brought some more Black Pudding (cant have enough) and folks brought all sorts of other sausages meats salads and desserts. Now a day later the fridge is fuller than it was yesterday pre BBQ. We had a great time and are very privileged to know some wonderful generous friends. Thank you for celebrating with us and making our day. The kids had a whale of a time, Amber and Rio didn't get to bed till around 10pm, still didn't stop the buggers from getting up at 7am though. So now its Sunday lunch time, and we've finally cleared everything up. Ham sandwiches for lunch carved off the bone, we'll be eating it for a week, and some sliced steak with hot chilli sauce yum. Off blackberry picking this afternoon in the heat, might make a crumble for tea. Thank you all.

Los Angeles–based artist Analia Saban (b. 1980, Buenos Aires) takes traditional artistic media, such as paint, marble, and canvas, and pushes their limits in inventive ways that merge scientific experimentation with artmaking. In her Draped Marble works, Saban bends slabs of marble to the brink of destruction. Arced over walnut sawhorses, the marble appears fragile and pliable.

Understanding A.M. Best Ratings
Unique ID: da8b466b-ce56-491a-ab0c-3714c979f527
With the recent challenges faced by various insurance companies and the hardening insurance market, it's more important than ever to scrutinize financial stability when considering an insurance carrier. There are several rating agencies that review insurance companies' financial information, but the most commonly used is A.M. Best.
A.M. Best provides ratings and financial data for the insurance industry worldwide, and they're the standard on which we evaluate the stability of an insurance carrier. A.M. Best provides access to insurance company ratings and profiles free of charge on their corporate website – www.ambest.com.
In their evaluation, A.M. Best assigns both a Financial Strength Rating and a Financial Size category to each insurance carrier. Both are very important items to review when considering your insurance program, as not only do they evaluate the ability of an insurance carrier to pay its claims and meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders, but many of your organization's contracts may require a minimum rating in order to do business. If your insurance program is with a carrier that falls below the outlined minimum threshold, you may be in breach of contract.
A.M. Best's Financial Strength Ratings
This is an opinion assigned by A.M. Best based on an insurance carrier's strength and ability to meets its obligations to policyholders. A rating outlook of Positive, Negative or Stable is also assigned to each carrier, which indicates its potential direction over the next 12-36 months.
It's important to note that while A.M. Best's ratings express their opinion of the ability of an insurance carrier to meet their responsibilities, it's not a warranty of a company's financial strength and ability to meet their obligations to policyholders.
A.M. Best's Financial Size Category (FSC)
The Financial Size categories are based on adjusted policyholders' surplus and are designed to indicate the size of a company in terms of its statutory surplus and related accounts.
Note: Ranges are in millions of dollars.

Jesus is a Staten Island-based photographer who has accrued more than ten years of professional experience. He was drawn to the medium through his dual passions for portraits and cars, eager to preserve some memory of what he was seeing. Although he continues to shoot these subjects regularly, he also does extensive work with models and artists.
Jesus is a veteran of the US Army, and with thirteen accumulated years of service, he is still a member of the reserves. Serving in the military developed in Jesus strong senses of work and integrity, and he dedicates himself fully and completely to any project in which he takes part.
The key to Jesus's success is communication. He listens closely to what his clients tell him so that whether he is working on a portrait, a boudoir, or a car photograph, he is executing based on the clients' precise needs. He has a knack for putting the camera in the right place and expressing himself in a way that is clear yet simple.
Ultimately, Jesus aims to have his photographs published. He is a family man at heart, sharing his home with his lovely wife and their two beautiful daughters.
Even if you have all the money in the world, there still would be one thing that would not be in your control, time. Once it passes by then it never comes back, no matter how hard you try. The best way however to savor the time that you are spending is to capture it in a camera so that you can at least remember it clearly later in the future. Taking photographs is also an art, there are certain sceneries that an artist sees and not anyone else, there are certain ways through which a picture must be taken in order to ensure that it gives the best look. I am here at your disposal to provide you with everything that you might need.
I am a professional photographer whose interests are in portraits, boudoir and cars. I have worked with several artists along the years as well. I have been in this line of work for the longest of times now and being in it for this long I can safely say today that I have excelled at the work that I do and the quality of service that I provide to my invaluable clients. My experience and skills mean that I can guarantee you a satisfying work which will leave you wanting for more. I do not compromise on quality and settle for nothing below perfection.

Blast from the Past #309: Frog characters for Playmates
Neither of these characters ever made it to the toy line, as far as I recall. -- PL
8 comments:
lol, a fitting post considering the recent frog encounter you had lol.ReplyDelete
I love the genteel one. He's reminiscent of Kenneth Grahame's Mr. Toad.ReplyDelete
If he doesn't have a name I'd like to christen him Reginald.

Are you sure the one on the top isn't Genghis Frog?ReplyDelete
Yeah, the top one does resemble the Genghis Frog figure quite a bit. Same costume, the sunglasses, and similar stance. Different proportions though.ReplyDelete
These posts are always of particular interest to me, as a toy collector and designer. I think it's really cool that Playmates was receptive to your ideas for the line (even if they took 20 years, in the case of vac-metal Fugitoid). I love all these designs that you, Ryan, and Dooney submitted that didn't see production.ReplyDelete
Also, I agree with the other posters, the top one bears a very strong resemblance to Genghis Frog.
The top one is Genghis! At least what would become Genghis I bet!ReplyDelete
The bottom one is Mr. Toad!
"MrColinP said...ReplyDelete
Are you sure the one on the top isn't Genghis Frog?"
In all honesty, I don't know. I suppose it is possible that in some way this sketch inspired the creation of "Genghis Frog", but I really can't say for sure... and I prefer not to take credit without that certainty. -- PL

It's the 3rd Day of Christmas at CKC and we have a fabulous new free pattern for you today! This one comes to us from our pageant wear designer, Brooklyn. I love that this project can range from super elegant home decor to an everyday-fun-with-the-kiddos project. Here's Brooklyn!
When I was a little girl, every year as a family we made a Christmas ornament. Every year they were different. We collected them, and now as an adult I have a fun collection of homemade ornaments that mark the years as I was growing up. It is fond to look back on and so I'm going to share with you an ornament that you can make, and maybe it can become a family tradition for you as well! No sewing is required, so even the younger kids can help out.
First we will need to gather our supplies. You will need:
-A foam ball in an egg shape, approx. 3" tall
- 57 2" x 2" Fabric squares. (small prints turn out best)
- White Glue
-117 Sequin pins. (Very small pins with small metal heads. They are often brass coated.)
- 8-10" of 1/4" to 3/8" ribbon
- Greenery or another décor to embellish the top. (Bells can also be really cute here)
Here is the construction:
Step 1: First take note that your egg as 2 ends. One end is more pointed. This is the end you will start on.
Step 2: Take one fabric square and place it centered over the end of the foam egg. This will help to hide any foam from peeking out the end.
Step 3: We will secure the square in place with our sequins pins. Dip the pointed end of a pin in the glue then stick it into a corner of the square. Pin opposite corners pulling the square tight over the egg. You should have 1 pin in each corner when you are done.
Step 4: Next we will need to fold the rest of our squares. You can press them with an iron, but I prefer to fold them one at a time with my fingers right before pinning it because it feel like it gives the pinecone more of a fluffy rugged look. You will fold one square corner to corner to create a triangle, then fold the other corners together to create a triangle that is 4 layers thick with folded edges on 2 sides and all the raw edges on the 3rd side.
Step 5: Next we will line up the folded corner of a triangle with the very tip of the egg over the fabric square there.
Step 6: Place a pin in the 2 bottom corners of the triangle to hold it in place. (don't forget the glue before pinning, you won't want them coming out)
Step 7: Pin a second triangle opposite the first triangle as shown.
Step 8: Pin 2 more triangles on the other corners of the square. This will complete the 1st layer. Each layer from here on out will consist of 4 triangles.
Step 9: Next we will add the second layer. To do this we will pin 4 more triangles so that the point of each triangle lines up with the gap between triangles from the row above it. To keep the spacing good you will want about half of the triangle on the row above it as shown here.
This is what the second row will look like once it is complete.
Step 10: On the 3rd row we will place our 4 triangles so that each triangle lines up with the points of the triangles on the 1st row. Again so that half of the triangle is on the triangles above it.
This is what it will look like after the 3rd row is completed.
Step 11: Continue pinning rows on following the same pattern as the 3rd row. Each row will line up with the point 2 rows above it. When you are done you should have 14 rows like shown here.
You should now have a neat little square of foam showing on the larger end of your egg.
Step 12: If you are adding the hanger for the pinecone you will take your ribbon and fold it in half. Then tie a knot close to one end. Trim the extra ribbon and seal the ends with a little heat (from a flame) or use clear nail polish.
Step 13: Put a pin directly through the knot of the hanger.
Step 14: Coat the pin with glue (you may want to use a stronger glue here like hot glue) Then press the pin into the center of the square pushing the knot as deeply into the foam as you can.
Step 15: Finally fill in the remaining foam area with your greenery or other décor. Hot glue can help them to stay in place better. I prefer to stick the end of mine into the foam then press it down the side of the pinecone as shown above and below.
Doesn't it look great?
Step 16: Hang it on the tree. Your ornament is now complete!
Step 17: Alternatively, you can make several pinecones and place them in a bowl for a unique handmade table centerpiece.
Thank you so much to Brooklyn for this great tutorial! And now it's your turn! Have fun making all sorts of pinecone decor, and don't forget to come show us when you're done.
Let's Create! ~ Kristen

It's no secret that most customers will do at least some of their research and shopping online. Successful websites are becoming ever more sophisticated in how they engage with and educate their visitors. Website users are demanding and impatient. How do you ensure that you capture their attention? Could you be driving your visitors away?
There are lots of reasons why a website might be performing poorly and causing a business to lose sales. So if your site isn't working as well as it should, use this checklist to see where improvements could be made:
Is it well designed?
There are two potential issues here. Firstly, make sure that your website is laid out in a way that makes it easy for visitors to find what they're looking for. Secondly, consider whether the design reflects your business in a positive, contemporary way. Websites with dated designs can be a major turn-off and will drive potential customers away. As we highlighted in our blog post: the importance of professional web design, 94% of a website user's initial impressions are affected by the design. This can be a good point to get some expert advice; if you're not sure if the design of your website is working.
Is it responsive?
A responsive website is one that adapts itself according to the user's device (i.e. screen size). This means that it will still function and look good whatever the platform or browser being used. If your site is not optimised for mobile, for example, then you may be losing potential customers who are looking for you on their phone.
Does it load quickly?
Online customers are not famous for their patience and are likely to give up on your site if it doesn't load quickly. And in fact deciding what they think of the site will take users only 0.05 seconds! There are several possible reasons for slow-loading pages, such as overly complex coding, the use of unoptimized images, too many plugins etc. Slow loading can also be linked to your hosting, so you may want to review this.
Are your landing pages effective?
A landing page is a point at which a visitor enters your website. It's often the home page, but it could be a particular blog post or product/service, depending on whether your site has been found through organic or paid search. Review all key landing pages and assess whether it will be clear to new visitors a) where they are, and b) what they should do next (and how to do it).
Is your content up to date and well written?
Check that your content is not only accurate but also grammatically correct and typo-free. Badly written text looks terribly unprofessional and is a poor advertisement for your business. You should also check that all content is up to date, e.g are you promoting an event that has already happened? Make sure that you're regularly adding fresh content for returning visitors; if there's nothing new to see then why would they bother coming back? We have a separate blog post here on the importance of content marketing
Are you providing a good user experience?
There are lots of potential issues under this heading, but here are a few questions to get you started: is your navigation clear? Are your images relevant? Do you use pop-ups? Are your calls to action obvious? Do you have too many calls to action? Do you use jargon? Do all of your forms and links work properly? If customers come to your website and have a bad experience, they will seek a better experience on a competitors website.
Are you on social media?
These days most customers expect businesses to have a social media presence; it demonstrates that you are trustworthy, accountable and responsive. Engaging with customers through social media enables you to build brand loyalty, for example by offering special promotions, providing customer support, and sharing useful tips. A potential customer visiting your site for the first time and seeing no obvious social media links may be put off exploring further.
What are the key indicators?
There are some key indicators in your website statistical reports that can help identify problems. Low website leads or sales are obvious indicators of course, but there is other statistical data you can draw upon. For example, review your reports in Google Analytics; high bounce rates and short duration times indicate that visitors are leaving your website early. Read more in our blog post: The 7 Key Google Analytics Statistics you should be tracking.
If you're starting to see an increase in bounce rates and a decrease in average session duration, it's a good idea to start thinking of a website refresh before you start slipping down the search engine rankings.
Is it time for a website refresh?
Are you still not sure whether it's time for a website update? Or just need some advice, get in touch – [email protected] or 01225 309690

QandA opens discussion on fake news, media chimes in to ape Shaggy.
"It wasn't me" was the prevailing vibe of QandA last night as respected journalists chimed in resolutely to claim that the truth be all, and that they were forever sworn to defend it, especially in this age of fakery. Justice League, unite! To be fair, we've avoided the worst of it, as the American trend of fake news (unlike juvenile obesity or double denim) is yet to beach itself on our shores, wailing complaint about its new home.

Turnbull gov shifts from satire to irony by repealing 18C on the day the UN celebrates the end of discrimination.
Speaking of Harmony Day, the day the UN decided to celebrate the elimination of discrimination is being celebrated slightly differently down in the magical land of Oz, as the Turnbull government is set to complete noted empath Bill Leak's legacy in tearing down the current structure of 18C.

Charlotte Evans studied fine art at Byam Shaw School of Art, now part of Central St. Martins in London. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York City. Her work is held in public and private collections around the globe including those of the UBS bank and the Imperial College Healthcare Charity Art Collection in the UK.
In 2015 Charlotte was featured in the 'Young Masters- Focus on Painting' with Cynthia Corbett Gallery, London, and before moving to the US was a best selling exhibitor with Will Ramsay's Will's Art Warehouse at the Affordable Art Fairs in London and New York.
Charlotte Evans' work is concerned with places and the people within them, their gestures, movements and relationships. Working from memories and a catalogue of photographs of places visited, Charlotte makes drawings pulling together elements of past experiences. Like dreams or memories the image becomes distorted, the colour more vivid, faces blank. Through Charlotte Evans' blended memories threads of narrative inevitably emerge.
