"Jane Gallop is no doubt one of the best readers of her generation, but with The Deaths of the Author she proves that her writing is unprecedented: sharp, brisk, with a great sense of rhythm, utterly sophisticated and yet perfectly clear, from the very first till the very last sentence." - Jan Baeten, Leonardo
"Jane Gallop revitalises debates on the 'death of the author' theory by examining the effect the theory has on the author of a landmark work. She uses readings of influential literary theorists Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak to connect an author's theoretical, literal and metaphoric deaths to discuss the idea." - Times Higher Education
"Gallop meticulously yet gracefully analyzes the complicated relationship between a devoted reader and the author that inspires them. . . . Gallop's impressive close reading breathes new life into these dead authors and fittingly pays tribute to the man who killed the author and liberated the reader by practicing what he preached at a level of insight and clarity on par with Barthes himself." - Chase Dimock, Lambda Literary Review
"Gallop's close readings in and around queer lives, the "fragments" that the "dead-but-still-going" author leaves behind, elegantly invite us into the traces, ghostings and shadows that viscerally render the imbrication between the theoretical and the personal — a dynamic often disregarded in many academic circles. By writing Barthes (then Derrida, then Sedgwick, then Owens, then Lynch, and then Spivak), [she] breathes life into the future-perfect corpses that are never really dead as such in the first place.
The Deaths of the Author conjures a corps de ballet in which Gallop cinematically choreographs shadows and bodies so that in their performance they commingle. I am thankful for the invitation to dance." - David A. Gerstner, Reviews in Cultural Theory
"Always lively and lucid, Jane Gallop has produced another remarkable book. Taken literally, the familiar notion of 'the death of the author' acquires a wholly different resonance in these essays on major contemporary theorists, who reflect on the temporality of writing and the effects of deaths of authors."—Jonathan Culler, Cornell University
"Jane Gallop is one of the small handful of critics who are keeping close reading alive. With this volume, she illuminates the stakes in paying such careful and loving attention to the words by which writers are turned, and turn themselves, into authors: stakes made visible on the relational field joining reader and author in an intimate bond that's desirous, companionate, aggressive, indecent, sustaining, disturbing, unstable, and, when elaborated by a critic and thinker as gifted and incisive as Jane Gallop, also endlessly productive."—Lee Edelman, author of No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive

Remember the group Chicago and their song "Does Anybody Know What Time It Is?" One of the lyrics is, "Does anybody really care?" Well, I can tell you one person who cares, and his name is Jimmie Johnson. He made great time at Martinsville on Sunday. Jimmie made great time for the eighth time there. It was an unbelievable performance by a one of the greatest race-car drivers our sport has ever seen. I won't call him the greatest, but he certainly is one of the greatest to get behind the wheel of a stock car. The man is flawless. He simply gets the job done. There are those who will say it's the car. There are those who will say it's the resources he has or his crew chief Chad Knaus or his race team. You know what? While all of those are very important contributing factors, the last time I looked, there is only one person sitting behind the wheel of that No. 48, and his name is Jimmie Johnson. He's the only champion in our sport's history to win five championships in a row. He now ...

Caramel Popcorn - No Bake - Yummo!
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 15 mins
This makes the most delicious caramel popcorn that you will be requested to make over and over. I've made several different versions of caramel popcorn- this is my version. This recipe makes a very large batch of popcorn but it will keep fresh for weeks if stored in an airtight container. You can add nuts of your choice as a variation to this recipe. My daughters say that this popcorn is better than sold at "Kernals". I use a very large boiler/stock pot to prepare the caramel. Use the biggest pot /saucepan that you can find. I add all of the popcorn to the caramel in the pot. The other option is to add the caramel to the popcorn-have your popcorn in a very large heat resistant mixing bowl. The larger the container used the better as you will need to toss/stir the popcorn into the hot caramel mix to coat
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup unpopped popcorn
- 250 g butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1⁄2 cup light corn syrup (Karo) or 1⁄2 cup liquid glucose (glucose syrup)
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- Pop popcorn and remove any unpopped kernals. Set aside. You should have approx 20 cups of popped popcorn.
- Place two or three baking trays or cookie trays on your bench top. You'll spread the hot caramel coated popcorn onto these later.
- Use the largest saucepan/stockpot or boiler that you can find. Add the butter, brown sugar and syrup.
- Over heat, bring to the boil and boil for approx 4-5 minutes. Stir fairly constantly with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat. Add the bicarb soda and the vanilla essence. Stir well.
- Add half of the popcorn and quickly stir to coat in the hot caramel mix. Add remaining popcorn and nuts(if you have chosen to add them as an optional extra). Stir thoroughly to cover the popcorn evenly. Work quickly.
- Spread the popcorn over your baking dishes or cookie trays. Break up clumps of popcorn with your wooden spoon.
- After about a minute the popcorn should be cool enough to handle carefully. Break up the popcorn to smaller sized pieces.
- As a variation you can roll popcorn into balls the size of a scoop of ice-cream and push them into ice-cream cones. Great for childrens parties. (The flat based cones work best for this- much easier to place on your bench to cool).
- Cool and store in an airtight container. Will keep for about a week (if it lasts that long without being gobbled up!).
- UPDATE: I made these on a wet and very humid day and the popcorn was 'sticky'. I haven't had this problem before and have made this popcorn recipe a dozen times. Placed in a baking dish and heated at 120°C for about 20 minutes. Stirring every 5 minutes or so. Really took away the stickiness and made the popcorn crunchy.

Yummy!! I made this for New Years Eve to bring to my parents in law and everyone who tasted them wanted to know how to make them. This was so easy to make and it was great method which I didn't need to bake them, because it was so hot day and I didn't want to turn on the oven. I didn't get to bring any popcorn to work because the whole batch was eaten. Thanks **Jubes** for posting your recipe
OMG, this is to die for and easy too. I love carmel popcorn and didn't know how to make it - or that it would be easy. Thank you SO much for posting a wonderful recipe! My kids loved this! Thanks for posting - it's a KEEPER!!! **Made for Aussie Recipe Swap -October**

Religion Youth Pastor Watch
posted by November 14 at 10:34 AMon
A Boulder district judge declared a mistrial this afternoon in the sexual assault trial of a former youth pastor suspected of having a physical relationship with a minor who was attending his Longmont church.
Judge D.D. Mallard said the jury was deadlocked 8-4 after deliberating the fate of Peter Kim, 40, all day today. A juror told the Camera that the eight votes were in favor of conviction.
Kim was arrested last fall after a teen who attended Central Presbyterian Church, 402 Kimbark St., told her therapist that she was sexually involved with Kim between January 2001 and January 2004.
Kim is charged with child sexual assault by a person in a position of trust and a pattern of child sexual assault. He has a previous misdemeanor conviction for having a relationship with a teen he met while working with children at Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church about 10 years ago.

Knitted nicely on #15 for a felted bag. It took only one cycle in the washer to felt. I will definitely use more of this yarn for felting but, it would knit up great for other articles.

The Obama administration long ago realized it would have insurmountable difficulty getting a semiautomatic gun ban, such as that considered by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and others, passed by Congress.
But with the Newtown shootings still fresh in Americans' minds, Obama believes he will succeed in achieving his hidden gun-control agenda.

Season 1
In the beginning, Zac is the typical, perhaps just above average teenage boy, growing up on the Gold Coast. He's good looking, gets good grades at school, has a long term girlfriend, parents who let him do what he likes and everyone seems to knows him well. His seemingly perfect life is shattered when he discovers that whenever he comes in contact with water, he grows a merman tail.
Cam, his best friend, is the first person he tells. Cam quickly becomes fascinated with Zac's abilities, but as Zac's ego grows and he starts to view himself as better than everyone else, Cam's interest and motivation to support his friend turns to intense jealousy. This is soon accompanied by intense resentment when the negative aspects of being a merman begin to take their toll on Zac. As it becomes harder for Zac to keep his secret, it becomes harder for Cam to help him, and Zac begins taking his frustration out on him.
When things hit rock bottom with Cam Lyla, Sirena, and Nixie learn of Zac's powers and Zac finds a new support network. It's Lyla that Zac feels most comfortable confiding in, causing problems with his girlfriend, Evie, who breaks up with him. This all changes when Zac discovers not only that Lyla is a mermaid but that she wants to take his amazing new powers. The battlelines are drawn.
Through the second half of season 1, Zac battles with Lyla, Nixie and Sirena for possession of the Trident. During this time, he displayed a great deal of resourcefulness such as in "The Trident Job" where he is able to outsmart the mermaids and gain possession of the trident. Because of this, and the sheer power of the trident, Zac's confrontations with his newly declared nemeses have mostly ended in his victory. However, the mermaids finally succeed in getting the trident from Zac and Lyla is able to hide it.
This defeat for Zac soon proves short-lived. Zac finds the trident where Lyla hid it and they fight for it underwater, resulting in Lyla being knocked unconscious. This turn of events shocks Zac and he realizes his mistake of trying to get the trident. Later learns it will destroy the moon pool forever if it is taken there during a full moon, so he locks it away in the chamber once again after helping Lyla recover. Their friendship restored, Lyla is again the one he confides in the most, but it never goes any further than Lyla possibly would have liked.
Following this, Zac decides to grant the girl's request to give up his powers since it hurts him to have to lie to Evie. At the end of series one, Evie now knows Zac's secret and Cam has betrayed him by attempting to go to the Moon Pool on a full moon with the trident. With his help, the mermaids are able to stop Cam and he breaks the trident. In the aftermath of it all, being in the full moon under a full moon did not remove Zac's powers. Despite his broken friendship with Cam - Zac is relieved he finally can have the mermaids as friends without trouble from Evie, who accepts the girls when she realizes how untrusting she was of them.
Season 2
In season 2, things seem to be going perfect for Zac at first. Despite losing a friend in Cam, he is now completely happy being a merman since he no longer has to lie to his girlfriend Evie. Soon however, things in his life get complicated upon the arrival of the seventh full moon since Zac became a merman and two new mermaids Ondina and Mimmi. This duo of mermaids intend to finish what Sirena began and they don't plan on giving Zac a choice in the matter. There are also more complications with Zac's growing connection to Mako. This includes his discovery of an ancient Merman Chamber which also attracts Erik's interest. Zac awakens it by moving his hand over a rock with glowing symbols, which include a moonrise, an island, a full moon, the moon pool, and a trident. It becomes apparent that Zac is the only one capable of controlling the chamber and he becomes determined to find out it's purpose and why he is connected to it. Also in this season, Evie becomes a mermaid. At first Zac is eager to help her, even take her out swimming, but the mystery of the chamber and the power growing inside, draws him away from her in the most important situations. Evie becomes anxious as to why he is suddenly seeing visions and having to leave in important situation, but it is revealed that it is not the island at all, but his connection to Mimmi, who is actually his long lost sister. Zac learns that he was actually born a merman and that he is the son of Nerissa, the most powerful mermaid to ever exist. This revelation is all just to much for Zac and he begins pushing those close to him away as a result, overwhelmed by the fact that his whole life has been a lie. Eventually, he learns to accept who he really is after Mimmi reminds him that he has a family who cares for him and they assure him that they always considered him their real son. He then reconciles with all the people he cares about, including Cam and accepts Mimmi as his sister. Following this, the bond between Zac and his newfound sister is shown to have grown very strong throughout the second half of season 2. Both of them are shown to be extremely caring and protective of each other. At some point off screen, Zac and Mimmi take a photograph together which Zac treasures.
Throughout the second half of season 2, Zac's curiosity of the chamber grows and he continues to seek it's purpose, while at the same time wanting to make certain that Mimmi and all mermaids are safe. He later finds out from Rita that he and Mimmi are descendants of the merman that built the chamber and that he refused to activate it after falling in love with a mermaid. This causes Zac to have second thoughts about trying to activate the chamber. He and the others would eventually discover however, that typing in the code is only the first step to starting the chamber and that the trident must be placed within it. Since Zac already destroyed it, all seems well at first until Erik deduces that the stone that acted as the heart of its power is what starts the chamber instead of the trident by itself. After learning from Sirena that she hid the stone at Rita's following the trident's destruction, he accidentally activates it again when he touches it due to his stronger connection to Mako. He resolves to hide it, but this proves harder then expected when the stone urges him to use it and Erik finds out he has it. Despite his best efforts, Erik gets the stone and it robs Zac of his magic allowing him to start the chamber. Now powerless, Zac seemingly loses all hope of stopping Erik, but he musters courage after he is encouraged by Cam, Evie and Mimmi. When Erik activates the chamber and it begins to kill the mermaids, Zac bravely attempts the grab the stone and deactivate it. He is successful, but seemingly at the cost of his own life. Zac's sacrifice proves unbearable for the mermaids and they are all overcome with grief, especially Evie and Mimmi. However, Mimmi is able to use the stone to restore Zac's life and his powers, to everyone's great relief. Zac's heroic actions earn him Veridia's trust and praise and he is made an honorary member of the pod along with Evie. He then greets the pod with the rest of the gang, happy that they no longer fear him and have accepted him as a friend.
Zac is tall, tan, and is very muscular and built. He has dark hair and dark eyes and is said to be very handsome. As a merman, Zac has a long, blue tail to match his regular appearance.
Zac possesses the ability to transform into a merman ten seconds after touching water.
Speed Swimming
As a merman, he has the ability to swim at super speed of 600km/h, hold his breath for at least 20 minutes, and dive at a depth lower than the deepest divers in the world. After drying, his body reverts back to human form.
In "Dolphin Tale", he starts the ignition on Joe's boat and starts moving it. In "Zac's Return to Mako", when he was under the influence of the Full Moon, Lyla tried to stop him from reaching the land entrance and he pushed her using this power.
When he is showing Cam that he turned into a merman, he creates a ball made out of water and throws it at him.
In "Zac's Pool Party", Zac is shown using this power to heat up the pool and it evaporates so he can try and cancel Evie's pool party.
After his first Full Moon in "Zac's Return to Mako", he is now able to become invisible like the girls. In "The Siren" Zac turns invisible so Mrs. Santos doesn't see him in her office. In "Truce" and "Nowhere to Hide" he uses this power so he doesn't caught in the cafe and the warehouse.
Volume Reduction
Zac used this power to improve Cam's and Carly's singing in "Sirena's Secret".
Zac is very fond of Evie and cares very much for her and wants to be a good boyfriend. Their relationship becomes very strained because of Zac hiding his secret from her, and even more when Lyla and Zac become close friends. Evie is the one person he does not want to discover his merman side for fear of losing her. She later finds out to her amazement about his tail when he is forced to save her from drowning in Betrayed. During season 2, they continue to date and grow closer as best friends and as a couple. They grow even more close when Evie accidentally becomes a mermaid after attempting to save him from a new group of mermaids in the town. She continues to support him and offered him emotional support after he found out about his adoption.
Zac and Cam have been best mates from the time they were young children. At first Cam is very supportive of his friend and helps him keep his secret hidden from Evie. Until "Zac's Pool Party" when Cam get tired of covering for him and shoves him into his pool, Zac's secret exposed to the three undercover mermaids. Later, they make up and Cam starts helping Zac to get the trident. Later, Cam grows even more jealous of his friends powers and is outraged when Zac puts the trident back into its chamber. Finally, he schemes to become a merman, but is unsuccesful and in the end is on his own. After Cam helps Zac in season 2 with other oceanic issues, they finally rekindle their friendship, though they aren't as close as they were.
Zac's girlfriend Evie gets jealous of Lyla after seeing them 'cuddling' on the jetty. Lyla and Zac become really close after she and the other two mermaids 'accidentally' discover he is a merman. Zac always feels the most comfortable around Lyla and they form a very close bond. Zac may yet discover he has feelings for her later on. However, since Lyla was not seen for seasons 2 and 3, their friendship is now distant. Lyla ends up moving on with Nixie by joining another pod. For more on their relationship go to - Zac and Lyla
She is Zac's sister. During the seventh cycle Zac began to have visions of Mako Island, and the trident chamber along with Mimmi who is able to see them as well. Rita finally revealed that Zac is Nerissa's son, and Mimmi's brother due to Zac, and Mimmi able to share visions from their bloodline. He couldn't accept Mimmi as his sister or the truth of his bloodline. They share a mind connection unlike noneother as much as Zac denies her as his blood-sister.

Janet Cherobon-Bawcom had waited seven years to win the Cooper River Bridge Run. So another 58 minutes were not going to deter the diminutive runner with the huge smile.
I just told myself, You know what, its going to affect all 45,000 people in the race, said Cherobon-Bawcom, a native of ?Kenya who has been a U.S. citizen for two years. It wasnt just me, so I just tried to go with it.
Cherobon-Bawcom dealt with a delay of nearly an hour at the start of the race in Mount Pleasant, cut through a warm breeze on the Arthur Ravenel Bridge and cruised across the finish line in downtown Charleston to win the womens race in the 35th annual Bridge Run on Saturday.
Her winning time of 33 minutes and one second for the 10K race was well off the Bridge Run record, but that hardly mattered to her. This was the seventh straight year Cherobon-Bawcom had competed in the Bridge Run; she finished second the last two times.
Its so great, I cannot even believe it, said the 33-year-old who lives in Rome, Ga., and collected $10,000 for her win. Its awesome.
Mens winner Solomon Deksisa, a 21-year-old Ethiopian, felt the same way about his victory, judging by his smile. He doesnt speak English, but he sped away from a lead pack of about 10 runners at the four-mile mark, finishing in 29:37. He also won $10,000.
It was a very tactical race, said American Bobby Mack, a former North Carolina State All-American who was the early leader and finished sixth. Nobody really wanted to go out to the lead and be the one to bear the wind. You were just waiting for that one person to make the first move, so the race really didnt start until mile four.
Rives Poe won the Marcus Newberry Award as the top local finisher in the Bridge Run, the third straight year shes won the womens award. Brian Johnson of Mount Pleasant won the mens Newberry Award. Charlestons Bob Schlau, 64, won the male senior grand masters division in 45:11.
Alex DuPont won the mens wheelchair division in 25:42, with Keira-Lyn Frie taking the womens race.
A record 36,652 runners and walkers finished the Bridge Run, bettering the previous mark of 34,789 set last year. A total of 43,635 registered for the event, the second-highest number on record.
The elite runners were forced to endure a 58-minute delay at the start line in Mount Pleasant. The delay was caused by problems in getting runners moved by bus from Charleston to Mount Pleasant, race officials said.
The Ravenel Bridge, normally closed by 7 a.m. on race day, was not closed until 7:45 a.m. on Saturday, according to race director Julian Smith. The race, set to begin at 8 a.m., did not start until 8:58 a.m.
We try to time our warm-ups for the start of the race, said American runner Lindsey Sherf, who finished third among the women in 33:49. But part of being successful in anything is being able to adapt with the punches. Having the energy of 42,000 people behind you helps keep you in good spirits.
Although Deksisas winning time was the slowest since 1998 for elite men, Mack said he did not think the delay made a big difference. More of a factor was the heat and headwind, he said.
It was not ideal, but everyone else was waiting, too, said Mack, who will run in the Olympic Trials 10,000 meters this summer. It didnt influence the race too much. Maybe for the first half-mile your legs are stale, but then you get warmed up. It was a good race.

I like you. I've been one of your quieter supporters until this point.

There is a quite large file (>10G) on the disk, each line inside the fie is composed of a line-number and a person's name, like this:
1 Jane
2 Perk
3 Sime
4 Perk
.. ..
I have to read this large file, and find the frequency of each name, finally output the results in descending order of each name's frequency, like this:
Perk 2
Jane 1
Sime 1
As the interviewer requested, the above job should be done as efficiently as possible, and multithreading is allowed. And my solution is something like this:
Because the file is too large, I partition the file into several small files, each small file is about
100M, via
lseekI can locate the begin and the end of each small file
(beg, end);
For these small files, there is a shared hash-map using person's name as key and how many times it shows so far as value;
For each small file, there is a single thread go through it, every time the thread encounters a person's name, it will increment its corresponding
valuein the shared hash-map;
When all threads finish, I think it's time to sort the hash-map according to the
But because there might be too many names in that file, so the sorting would be slow. I didn't come up with a good idea about how to output the names in descending order.
Hope anyone can help me with the above problem, give me a better solution on how to do the job via multithreading and the sorting stuff.

I recently discovered that you can add a individual class to any menu item in the custom menu backend, and it will appear in that menu entries class tag on your website. Pretty awesome.
I have long wondered if there was a way to do this for widgets. Often, I have a widget of some sort that I want to style in a unique way, but I have to add the widget, and then go to the website and see what ID WP has assigned it, for instance a text widget might be assigned:
But if you were to style the widget based on this ID, and then move the site to a new location, such as having a development install and a production isntall, the widget ID may be different.
Is there any plugin available that adds a little ID field to each widget so you can style them on a individualized basis, without having to publish the widget first and see what WP assigned to it?

Mauha Huataki Fawcett, known within gang circles as 'Muck
Dog', denied murdering Miss Manning, 27, on December 18,
But the Crown said the 26-year-old either took part in her
brutal slaying at a gang pad that night or was party to it.
In March, a jury of six men and six women took just under six
hours to unanimously find Fawcett guilty of murder.
This morning, he will be sentenced at the High Court in
Miss Manning's brother Rob, a city car dealer, isn't sure
what to expect today.
"Considering his role in my sister's death, I imagine it will
be around the 10-15 year mark," Mr Manning said.
"But sometimes when you think people should get harsh
sentences, they get light ones, and vice versa.
"I'll just feel happy that he's not going to be able to roam
around and hurt anyone else, or at least be party to hurting
anyone else."
Miss Manning, a long-time sex worker, had turned her back on
prostitution for several months after the sudden death of her
sister Jasmine earlier in 2008.
But on the night of December 18, she was back on the streets,
trying to raise money to buy Christmas presents for her
She was picked up by gangsters at her usual spot at
Christchurch's red light district in what the Crown alleged
had been a pre-planned and well-organised hit by the Aotearoa
chapter of the Mongrel Mob where Fawcett would earn his gang
She was driven the short distance to the Mob's pad at
Galbraith Ave.
They took her inside a shed and turned up loud music before
raping her and beating and stabbing her with various weapons.
Once she was dead, they stood around her mutilated body and
shouted 'Sieg heil' and barked like dogs, the four-week trial
The Crown contended that mobsters, including Fawcett, dumped
her naked body in the Avon River.
Fearing the gang would dob him in to police or else take him
out over fears he would talk to police, Fawcett fled the
Over a series of police interviews, he incriminated himself
in the killing, but later back-tracked.
During the trial, Fawcett, who has a British bulldog tattooed
on his face, conducted his own defence, with assistance by an
amicus curiae.
He claimed police had "coached" him into making false
The police investigation into Miss Manning's death remains
"It's very clear in evidence of this trial that there were
other people involved in this murder and we certainly intend
to bring those people to justice," investigation head
Detective Inspector Greg Williams said after Fawcett was
found guilty.
Mr Manning said he hoped others involved in the killing would
be brought to justice and he was supporting the police

Diesel Opens Brand New Diesel Black Gold Store In London
Diesel Black Gold opened its first global concept store on London's Conduit Street last week! Under Andreas Melbostad's Creative Direction, the launch was hosted by Renzo Rosso and Andreas Melbostad himself to celebrate the new Diesel Black Gold store, a brand new boutique that represents the first retail location of its kind, globally.
With catering provided by Cellar Society, guests dined on canapes of Goat's curd with crushed pea, mint and artichoke, Monkfish, pancetta and rosemary spiedini and bundled green asparagus spears, complemented by elderflower and mint collins, prosecco and wine from Diesel Farm. The music was also provided by 10Tigers. It looked like it was a fantastic night!
It wouldn't be a Diesel event if celebs didn't attend, so of course there were celebs like Stefano Rosso, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans, Kyla La Grange, Arlissa, MKS, Jack Fox, Ella Catliff, Nellee Hooper, Harriet Verney, Lou Hayter, Eloise Showering, Petra Palumbo, Severino Panzetta, Lady Victoria Hervey and Amber Anderson in attendance.

Dr Verkhoshansky on Olympic Weightlifting programming
(creator of the Conjugate Sequence system, the shock method (plyometrics), introduced special strength training methods to David Rigert in the 80s)
I've had this in the back of my mind for while, anyways thought I'd share it. If they ever release the new version of his book, it's definitely something to look into.
The interesting thing about this, is that earlier this year when Sean posted Kendrick's program on Goheavy, it is parallel to Verk's work. If anyone has any information on Verk's work related to this, I'm very very interested. By the way, the concentrated volume block would be in A, specific 1RMing is in C, which isn't depicted in the picture

About how long does Verkhoshansky recommend these blocks to be? I'd assume between 4-6 weeks and the C block 2-3?

Has anyone else grabbed a copy of this yet? My copy came in this week, he has a 6 week "SST program for increasing maximal strength" for weightlifting. Interesting stuff, supposed to be used in 2-3 cycles with 2 weeks of restoration in between.

Do it. Generally, I'm not too interested in hypertrophy but there are times it is programmed for at the OTC for gymnastics I know.

******** OK. This comes from my experiences as a client of Dr. Michael Yessis in the 80's as well as in the 90's from Jay Schroeder in addition to Inno sport,Kelley Baggett and conversations with Alex Vasquez at Evolutionaryathletics.com. So i have 6 concentrated load blocks with one predominate method (so i can ride the wave of LDTE after each) executed in this order- Long duration Iso, Plyometric(jumps,depth jumps and altitude),CAT(compensatory acceleration-50-80% of 1rm),Max effort(85-100% of 1rm),Hypertrophy(75-90% of 1 rm), Definition(30-40% of 1rm). First is
Long duration Iso- BTW i include many gymnastic progressions in this stage
Foundational Exercise for Plyometric Workouts
By Evosite on October 23, 2009 at 10:55 pm

We all know that there are significant benefits of performing plyometric exercises. Increases in speed strength, explosive strength, reactive ability, muslce stiffness, on the field performance to name a few. In the past it has been said that one must improve their squat numbers to 1.5x body weight before engaging in plyometric exercises.
More recently strength coach Jay Schroeder has flipped this equation upside down by insisting that you must be able to absorb force before you can create force. Coach Schroeder uses a variety of plyometric exercises to teach the body how to absorb force. Thusly it appears that he thinks that one should engage in plyometric exercise before moving into force production (DE and ME weifhtlifting)
Now to hop around. Don't worry I will circle back by the end of the post so that this makes sense.
Recently I was reading an issue of Men's Health (I know, everyones resource for cutting edge information). Well what struck me about this issue and prompted me to plop down my $5 for a copy was an article titled something like "Everything you know about your muscles is wrong". Surely I am not wrong. Am I?
Well the premise of the article is simple. Your muscles are inclosed in sheaths of connective tissue (myofascia). It was previously thought that these sheaths just connected the muscles together. Research in the past few years has lead to a discovery that these sheaths contain neural organs and nerves. This has lead to the concept that maybe the stretching and releasing of elastic tension in the sheaths is a major controller in how we move. Perhaps these sheaths act not just as passive movers but primary movers. The authors also note that when the myofasica tightens up that knots can form and proper movement patterns are impaired. These movement impairments can be eliminates with finding the source of the impairment (it's not always where the pain is) and then breaking it up through massage or various movement patterns. In the article they mantion a simple leg circle drill that increases range of motion in the hamstring. This kind of reminded me of Z-Health drills (not enough time to talk about this)
Anyone who knows about the works of Wannagetfast and inno-sport, and even Schroeder, knows that they place a heavy emphasis on movement efficiency. For example in running, movement efficiency is associated with running economy where the runners learn to rely more heavily on the elastic contributions of connective tissue. If trained properly this tissue can absorb and release a tone of energy which translated to a faster, more explosive athlete. So how do we develop this ability, or even improve on our own natural myofascia?
Perhaps the answer lies in LDISOS or Extreme Isometrics. Here is my thinking…
The holds are done in the stretch position. This stretch should break up any myfascial knots allowing for free, unrestricted active ranges of motion. Holding the stretch not onnly breaks up the knots BUT also serves as a teaching mechanism. Since the stretch position is held vor a pretty long time (5 minutes is far longer than most static stretches are held for) and the myofascia has neural receptors it can communicate to the CNS that this myofascial neural length is OK, thus preventing the buildup of knots and scar tissue. In addition since the holds are active, there is constant communication with the CNS.
In addition to alleviating compensation patterns there is another potential benefit. That being the build up of MORE myofascia. Research has shown that connective tissue synthesis occurs when lactic acid levels are the highest. Well in a LDISO blood flow is restricted for a very extended period of time. Without oxygen the muscles rely on anaerobic metabolism with which lactic acid build up is a by product. There is far more LA build up during LDISOS that what is attained normally thoguh weight training because blood flow is restricted. This sends a powerful signal to the body to build more connective tissue. And since the tissue is being stretched the odds are the new tissue will be void of knots, scar tissue, and any other imparments.
All of this extra myofascia is akin to placing a giant spring inside of your muscles. Unfortunately this tissue, when built, tends to be quite non-elastic. So how can we take this new development and make it more elastic? How can we teach it to efficiently absorb and release energy?
See, in Schroeders system athletes begin with LDISOS before they move into plyos. They must hold for 5 minutes for 40 consecutive sessions. This may be the ammount of tome Jay has deemed necessary to rid the body of compensation patterns and stimulate the development of enough myofascia to commence training. Of course inelastic tissue is more prone to inury so You would prime the tissue with reactive work to teach the tissue to become more elastic. Once this is done (fixed compensation, development of adequate connective tissue, trained the tissue to absorb and release energy) the athlete begins weight training to put some horsepower in their muscles so that they can use the new springs even more effectively.
Now that I have circled back, the article in the magazine went into this old kettlebell stuff and some of Pavel's teachings which, while interesting, are far from cutting edge now days.
Hopefully I have stimulated some braincells in you. If yu are interested in football weight training, basketball weight training, or plyometric workouts, the addition of LDISOS may be benefit your program.
Until next time,

When was the last time you heard the term Isometric? When was the last time you heard of a coach or athlete who used Isometrics in their training? If you are like most people, your father and grandfather were the last guys that who utilized iso's, doing countertop curl holds before bed time. Most view this training method as another passing fad that has died a slow and meaningless death. The remainder of this article will shed some very interesting and exciting light on this underutilized yet powerful training method.
Isometric, meaning constant (iso) meter (metric), or no change in muscle length during a muscular contraction is part of the "classical" repetition. If we look at the three phases of movement, there is the pliometric or eccentric loading phase followed by the isometric, coupling, or amortization phase and lastly the miometric or concentric phase. As you can see in the down and up repetition, you are performing a brief isometric contraction whether known or unknown, but typically not emphasized. The misconceptions that isometrics are not beneficial or challenging enough are profound. The underlying research has stated that the only strength gains made from isometrics are fifteen to thirty degrees from the joint angle trained (not entirely true), thus filing this method up there with bosu strength training in the beneficial category.
The first major benefit from isometric training methodic would be to teach proper position. It never fails, every year, a new crop of freshmen who of about eighty percent have no training background at all. Worst is, of the twenty percent that have training background, they have the worst technique and movement patterns known to man. Of the two, I'd always rather start with the clean slate then try to re-wire bad motor programs to adolescents who think their dad knows everything about training and couldn't have been leading them down a dark path. But, none the less that is the job description. First thing in teaching newbie's or the dysfunctional is to teach proper position. Proper position means correct technique and injury free training (To learn more on proper position read Dan Fichter's article on the subject The Purpose Position ). Pavel Tsatsouline says, "Strengthen the top position and bottom position and everything in the middle will fall into place." Isometrics, even if brief in duration, accomplish this goal and can easily be administered to a large group. Using the isometrics, trainees have less distraction and more time under tension in those particular positions to "feel" the proper muscles working and understand how to get there.
"Feeling" the proper muscles fire brings me to the second great benefit of this methodic, proper muscle recruitment patterns. When a trainee has less distraction and more time to put his "mental intent" on the correct musculature (as long as position is maintained), he/she develops a better body awareness or kinesthesia. In teaching dynamic movements right out of the gate, often times, too much is going on and the trainee typically will just go through the movement as best as possible without really getting a chance to make it internal. That internal process is always what leads to a greater understand and depth of mastery for any new skill. Jay Schroeder of Evo-Sport and Ultra-fit, might be the master at this with his "Extreme Isometrics." Don't let the name fool you too much, what truly seems to be going on here is an active yielding isometric hold in the deepest position possible for (what seems to me the longest time possible) five minutes. This in actuality becomes a quasi-isometric action; As you pull down into the deepest position possible you start to fatigue and slowly pull yourself deeper and deeper. Regardless, Jays trainee's are learning how to actively pull themselves down instead of just giving in to gravity and fall into position. This is one of the biggest obstacle for most as we are accustomed to collapsing into the car seat or "plopping down" on the coach. We don't move like the yester-years of our childhood anymore and we should be ashamed. We first off taught ourselves how to do it right as we started to crawl and walk, but shortly after that , we got lazy! We gave in to the status quo and now we can't squat down without knee or back pain. In trying to accomplish Jay's five minute "Extreme Isometrics" your body is forced to find the most optimal firing patterns as your body fights to maintain position for the insanely long duration.
Next benefit in line would have to be active flexibility. Note that this is only the case when the isometric contraction is at the deepest joint angle possible (while maintaining position). Going back to Schroeder's Extreme Isometrics, as fatigue sets in, you'll pull yourself lower and lower developing greater ROM using strength. Active flexibility is the only type of flexibility that has any carry over in to actual performance settings. Schroeder's Extreme Isometrics it has been theorized increase fascial length, which in turn has been correlated to increased running speeds or ability. The increase in lactic acid and metabolites at the extreme end ranges of motion has also been theorized to increase fascia thickness in elongated states. Once again, possibly increasing your ability for ROM and speed!
Getting down to the fundamentals there are two basic types of isometrics, yielding and overcoming. Both have very separate and distinct training effects. Yielding is holding a given load at a particular angel (typically bottom of movement) for a designated time. As previously covered this becomes a super slow eccentric or quasi-isometric movement with enough fatigue and has a major training effect on your connective tissue or series elastic component of the muscle. This is great for strengthening tendons and fascia and is an excellent preparatory stage for speed strength or plyometric work. Typically longer durations work best, holding for 15-35 seconds in length is most beneficial.
Overcoming isometrics on the other hand is for sticking points and generating power. Overcoming isometrics have also been referred to as sticking point training, where the trainee will exert maximal force against an immovable object at a particular joint angle that is a weak point of the movement. Louie Simmons's conjugate method of training which has produced some of the most prolific powerlifters ever is all about, "training your weakness" and overcoming isometrics is one of the most specific ways to accomplish that. This can be very stressful and demanding on the connective tissue so, durations are typically short. No more then 5-15 seconds in duration would be recommended due to the stress and strain. Doing a set or two of overcoming isometrics followed immediately by a set of the regular lift can also have a potentiating effect on the lift. Performance plateaus and sticking points can be a thing of the past.
Continuing on to the potentiating effect of isometrics, Dr. Yuri Verkhoshansky has stated that an isometric contraction followed by a concentric dynamic movement will increase the force of the movement by up to twenty percent! This has help given rise to the static-dynamic method of training, which most intermediate and advanced trainee's due to some degree automatically with most lifting movements. Prior to performing a big lift, you can witness advanced lifters pre-tense their bodies and develop full body tension to help rip the weight off the floor or explode the bar up. In "Inno-Speak" this is your Isometric Miometric (ISO-MIO) work, which develops that explosive rapid acceleration like jumping or throwing. Hang cleans are also utilize this effect (if done correctly) and that is why they can be beneficial. Jay Schroeder has his Explosive Dynamic Isometrics (EDI's) which utilize this effect as well. This potentiating effect is extremely beneficial in developing "Starting Strength" and "Acceleration Strength." These two factors make an athlete explosive off the line and lighting quick!
Potentiating complex's for you to try on your own at the gym.
Movement: Bench Press
Try performing 3-5sec. maximal Overcoming Isometrics then rest for 2-5minutes before performing maximal bench press singles.
Movement: Pull Up
Try holding a 10 sec. Yielding Isometric then rest for 2-5 minutes before performing pull ups.
Movement: Glute Ham Raise
Have a partner manually resist you as you try to pull up for 5-15 seconds, them rest for 2-5 minutes, followed by reactive glute ham raises.
Using Iso's and complexing Iso's into your training will enhance performance during training primarily which will cultivate to a better performance on the playing field. In the group teaching settings where equipment and space are usually a limiting factor, isometrics side step the problem as equipment and space are typically minimal at worst. Skill retention and mastery are aided with the utilization of Iso's first or mixed with other methods to enhance understanding and performance. Try giving the complex's above a try during your next workout and see the benefits first hand.
Until next time

Most of my athletes don't have the focus or desire (Jay's PIPES) that LDISO's require there for I'm not sure about the results piece of it. For teaching correct muscle firing, position, and flexibility I have seen great benefits form the Iso's. I'm hoping Jay holds a seminar on the west coast in the near future so I can grasp LDISO's even better.
As for your question regarding Iso's and rate work for the bodybuilding community, yes they do have a benefit. Jay and Poliquin both have an arm workout that has Iso's and rate work in it, that claims to increase the arms 1 inch for 24hr period. Christian Thib's I Body Builder on T-Nation shows him doing some rate work and maximal explosive overcoming Iso curls. Nothing will set up hypertrophy better then power work.
Hope this helps,

* Q2 op profit 1.04 bln SEK, in line with forecasts
* Sees stronger U.S. demand, expects better H2 for Europe
* Shares rise 5.0 percent
* Sweden's Husqvarna also upbeat on North America
By Mia Shanley and Sven Nordenstam
STOCKHOLM, July 19 Home appliances maker Electrolux forecast a rebound in demand for its products in crisis-hit Europe in 2014 and raised its outlook for the United States this year as a housing recovery takes hold.
The Swedish company, second only to U.S. rival Whirlpool in household appliances, slashed costs and boosted its presence in emerging markets as it waited for a turnaround in its dominant U.S. and European markets.
Reporting second-quarter earnings right in line with analyst forecasts, the white goods giant was more bullish about prospects in North America and said its European markets should improve in the second half of the year.
"Looking ahead to next year and beyond, we expect demand in Europe to rebound and in combination with our measures in the region, earnings will recover," the company said in a statement.
Shares in the firm rose 5.0 percent by 0930 GMT.
It reported core operating earnings of 1.04 billion Swedish crowns ($158 million) in the second quarter, down from the comparable 1.11 billion in the same period of 2012 due in part to currency effects, and in line with a Reuters poll.
"The margins in North America (of 7.8 percent, up from 5.7 in 2012) and the fact that there was actually a positive development in market volumes in Europe are the positive factors in this report," said Johan Eliason, analyst at Kepler Cheuvreux.
"That indicates a turnaround in Europe is not too far away."
Overall sales were flat at 27.8 billion crowns. Electrolux said total industry shipments of core appliances in Europe rose one percent in the quarter - the first rise in six quarters.
Electrolux, which makes machines ranging from espresso coffee makers to cookers and owns brands including Frigidaire, AEG and Zanussi, said its U.S. customers had turned more optimistic thanks to a stronger housing market.
It now sees U.S. demand for appliances rising 5 to 7 percent in 2013, up from 3 to 5 percent in its previous outlook.
Chief Executive Keith McLoughlin also said Europe's darkest days appeared to be behind it.
"While southern Europe continues to lag, there are some positive trends in Germany, the Nordics in particular and the UK," he told Reuters.
"Based on our numbers and what we see in the appliances world, you could conclude that Europe does seem to appear to have hit the bottom."
Europe and North America each make up about one-third of Electrolux's revenues, followed by Latin America at 20 percent and Asia-Pacific at 8 percent.
Appliance makers have struggled with tepid demand in mature markets, forcing them to rely more on still-growing markets, and have been shifting production from high-wage countries to lower-cost centres.
Swedish outdoor equipment maker Husqvarna was also upbeat about the outlook for North America, though it was cautious about Europe as it reported a slightly deeper than expected fall in second quarter earnings on Friday.
On Thursday, Moody's Investors Service eased the threat of a cut to United States sovereign ratings, raising the outlook to stable from negative, citing steady growth despite reduced government spending.
Since the start of 2012, Whirlpool's share price had gained 17.3 percent versus 9.0 percent for Electrolux.
Whirlpool has a relative advantage in being more exposed to the world's biggest economy, which accounts for half of its sales versus 30 percent for Electrolux.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
George Washington Carver, born into slavery in Missouri on Jan. 10, 1864, is well-known for his bulletin on the many uses for peanuts. Carver promoted the use of alternative crops like peanuts, soybeans and sweet potatoes to circumvent the damage that cotton plantations were causing to the soil and the boll weevils' attack on cotton.
In 1897, Booker T. Washington invited Carver to head the Agricultural Department at the Tuskegee Institute where he researched and taught farming techniques for 47 years. He even taught on the field by taking a classroom in a wagon to farms.
Carver spoke to Congress in 1921 to support a tariff on imported peanuts. He died in 1943.

A story of two brothers and a brutal one at that. At times I found the show slow, at other times is was creepy.
Tom Hardy who plays Freddie Jackson was an exceptionally good actor playing the part very well. If it wasn't for him I don't think this would of done so well.
The Take was certainly a violent show, but what would you expect for East-End gangsters. At times I felt there was some crossover copying going on from The Godfather trilogy. Thankfully this wasn't as long and as dull as that. And with all things there are the twists. Not exceptional entertainment. But an interesting watch for sure.moreless
