Mr. Perry is an outstanding attorney and wonderfully kind gentleman. My employer was attempting to impose unfair suspensions, harassed me, and eventually even went toward termination. Mr. Perry discovered the truth and saved a thirty year professional career and vindicated me. I highly recommend him and will continue to work with him.
Posted by a Violent Crime client
Due to Mr. Perry's arrogance and incompetence, I spent three years in prison. How would I know this? I was a lawyer myself! He made several references to my race and religion and didn't want to do a lick of work. So far, he has gotten away with it; but once the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rules on this issue, he won't. In all fairness, he might be worth hiriing now, as long as it isn't a complex, white collar matter. and you can mortgage your house tro make him happy.

Mr. Perry represented me in an employment dispute with the my job. He got my dismissal overturned with back pay. My family is eternally indebted.
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
Mr. Perry has an award winning personality, he is professional and straight forward.
We had a court appointed panel attorney and that was a total disaster. That attorney was nervous, and tried to instill fear as a means of getting the case over and done with. That attorney did absolutely NOTHING to assist on the case and was worse than any lazy public defender I have ever seen.
We were blessed to find Mr. Perry and although the case isn't over, we feel strongly that we are in good hands.
If you need real defense and want someone who knows the facts you need not look any further.

I was very pleased & satisfied with the services of Robin D. Perry. He was very professional. He was very punctual and communicated with me in a very kind, caring, and timely manner. Thank you Mr. Perry for fighting so hard for me and for being an Outstanding Attorney. Your hard work and your dedication is greatly appreciated. I definitely recommend Robin Perry to anyone who needs a good A ttorney to represent them. I could not have had a better Attorney. He's Awsome!!

Mr. Perry defended me in a criminal case in Compton. We had a trial. The jury found me not guilty. Mr. Perry did an excellent job and he saved my life.
Posted by a Personal Injury client
Mr. Perry represented me in a civil dispute involving high profile individual. He won a settlement that I am ecstatic about. I highly recommend him.
Posted by Bas
Only if you need someone to complete forms, never in a trial. He agreed to take my civil suit case on contingency basis, and then after a year of inactions, he dropped me as a client. I would not trust him with anything other than a criminal case, maybe.

Henchman of Chance
June 8, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
Daniel Spoerri has been making "trap pictures" since the late fifties. His procedure is simple: he goes to a flea market or a dump, riffles through heaps of trash or near-trash, recovers whatever discarded objects strike his fancy, and hangs them on the wall. Describing himself as "a henchman of chance," Spoerri is especially drawn to the detritus that remains unsold at the end of a flea market. His latest set of assemblages, "What Remains," is on display at Galerie Krinzinger in Vienna through July 23. Spoerri's portfolio with Emmett Williams, "An Anecdoted Topography of Chance," appeared in our Winter 1966 issue.
The Nonessential: On Marianne Fritz
October 1, 2015 | by Adrian Nathan West
In an interview published three months before his death, W. G. Sebald referred to his aversion to the systematic and to his faith in the haphazard: "If you look at a dog following the advice of his nose, he traverses a patch of land in a completely unplottable manner. And he invariably finds what he is looking for. I think that, as I've always had dogs, I've learned from them how to do this." Though my own aversion to structure is less an outgrowth of any faith in serendipity than a temperament both indolent and indecisive, rooting around has at times for me, too, yielded benefits that a single-minded approach to literature wouldn't have afforded. And it is particularly fitting, in light of the quotation above, that I should have hit upon Marianne Fritz—whose novel The Weight of Things I have just translated—by following up on a footnote from Sebald's posthumously published Across the Land and the Water, a selection of poems translated by Iain Galbraith.
In the late poem "In Alfermée," named for a Swiss commune where Sebald twice visited the scholar Heinz Schafroth and where the ashes of the poet Günter Eich are scattered, the following two stanzas appear:
Threading sleep
letter by letter
comes a language
you do not understand
The exhausted eyes
of the writer the fingers
of one hand on the
keys of her machine
Fun with Freud
September 10, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
A letter from Hilda Doolittle (H. D.) to her companions Bryher and Kenneth Macpherson, sent March 1, 1933. H. D., born on this day in 1886, had journeyed to Vienna to commence her psychoanalysis with Freud himself, though he was old and frail by then. She wasn't supposed to discuss her analysis with friends, but she wrote about it in great depth to her loved ones; those letters are collected in Analyzing Freud. Here, she chronicles their first meeting and the difficult initial session. The analysis soon improved, though H. D. remained wary of Freud; among other concerns, she found it perturbing that he preferred dogs to cats. Read More »
Staff Picks: Grim Reaper Hex, Ouija Board Sex
May 1, 2015 | by The Paris Review
The artist Jim Shaw began collecting printed media when he was still a teenager, and his extensive archive, which serves as a primary source of inspiration for his paintings, was recently published as The Hidden World. The small book is made to resemble a bible: the edges of the pages are stained red, and the black cover bears only the gold-embossed title. The roughly five hundred images are presented without captions or commentary and were originally produced for pedagogical religious purposes: Freemason, fundamentalist Christian, Mormon, Rosicrucianism, Jehovah's Witness, Opus Dei, Branch Davidian, and much more. "The Hidden World" was shown as an exhibition a few years ago, but in book form, the same images don't have the feel of artworks. If it's a book, you can read it—whether the pages are filled with words or pictures. The unbridged sequences between various brands of faith create a strange narrative: from, say, Left Behind pop culture to beatific Christendom, homemade cultism to UFO-related arcana. A Bill Mauldin cartoon featuring the grim reaper at work sits across the page from a book cover that reads "Good News to Make You Happy." It's a creepy book, especially if you aren't a member of any of these clubs, but it also testifies to how deeply people want to believe. —Nicole Rudick
I was lucky enough to attend the New York premiere of Albert Maysles's last documentary, Iris. As one might expect, the film offers no shortage of celebration for the buoyant and idiosyncratic style of Iris Apfel; well into her nineties, she's still very much a commanding force in the world of fashion. But what interested me more than Iris's style were the glimpses into the relationship between the "Rare Bird of Fashion" and Maysles himself, whose presence, more often than not, manifests only as a voice from behind his camera. To me, the film was an endearing look at two aging artists brought together by the longevity of their art—and, more largely, a tribute to their indefatigable grace. —Stephen Hiltner
From a distance, I'd always cast a cool eye on James Merrill's epic poem The Changing Light at Sandover—his famous experiments with Ouija boards struck me as superstitious gimmickry, a rich boy's attempt to swath himself in the aura of Yeatsian occultism. Well, file that under "moronic snap judgment." Langdon Hammer's new biography, James Merrill: Life and Art, has shown me the light. Merrill, who led a truly singular life, came to the Ouija board not for some self-serious dalliance with the afterworld but to buttress his playful, skeptical, fecund approach to poetics; as Hammer writes, he "renewed poetry's ancient task of soliciting speech from the gods. He activated a source of inspiration existing in language itself." And I hadn't known that the poet and his partner, David Jackson, used the board in 1955 to commune with Wallace Stevens, who had just died and who expanded their sexual vocabulary from a higher plane: "'Do you not know the lovely prologue kissing of nostrils, tongue in nostril and on rims?' He described scenes of sex at court with Ethiopian slaves, dogs, oils, multiple positions and partners, and a tiger licking sweets from the genitals of the orgiasts." —Dan Piepenbring
Stefan Zweig is one of those writers who mastered the art of memory—reading his short stories on prewar Vienna feels like walking into a sepia photograph. "Mendel the Bibliophile" definitely has that effect. The misfit book peddler Jakob Mendel, endowed with an encyclopedic memory, is typical of the vanished Vienna Zweig is always mourning in his work: a breeding ground for intellectuals where old books are cherished like secular relics, a comfortable, stimulating cocoon, doomed to splinter during the war. The tenderness of its nostalgia makes "Mendel" a gem. —Charlotte Groult
Seceding: A Conversation with Liz Deschenes
January 22, 2013 | by Lauren O'Neill-Butler
On a typically snowy January morning in Vienna, I visited the famed Secession to see an exhibition by New York–based artist Liz Deschenes. For many years her work has articulated a materialist stance; rather than taking pictures of things in the world, Deschenes usually works sans camera, turning to the inner life of photography and proposing discursive questions about its philosophical, scientific, and experimental possibilities. Deschenes has recently called her approach "stereographic," a term originally coined in the 1850s for two nearly identical prints that are paired and viewed through a stereoscope to produce a 3-D illusion of a single image. Deschenes employs this operation of doubling and dividing to give the viewer a chance to actively participate in her work, and it also places an emphasis on the constantly changing nature of her recent photographs.
As soon as I stripped off my coat and sweater at the museum, I learned that I needed to exit, since Deschenes had chosen a rarely used side door outside the building as the entrance to her show. Bringing my attention even more crisply to the Secession's unique architecture, this unusual parcours led to a so-called "viewfinder," a small empty hallway before two other rooms that (stereographically) forked to the left and right. Inside these chambers Deschenes had installed a series of moonlight-exposed photograms—Stereograph #1–#16, 2012—long and lean silver-toned planks, which she coupled to form four sets in each room. The energetic spaces formed within these brackets reframed and isolated—as one does when taking a picture—the spaces, and they offered an atmosphere for contemplation and concentration. In turn, the photograms themselves were still developing—oxidizing in situ and already bearing the traces of their time spent in the Secession's lower gallery. Read More »

Constitutional Law Workshop
The Constitutional Law Workshop comprises a series of workshops at which academics from law schools other than Chicago present papers, before assorted faculty members as well as Workshop students. Students attend these workshops, comment on the papers presented, and write their own research-based paper on a subject related to constitutional law.
The main sessions of the workshop will meet irregularly throughout the year, at 3:30 pm on Thursdays, in the Faculty Workshop (in the library, on the second floor, just past security). In addition there will be one additional meeting per quarter to discuss students' papers—times for these will be distributed by email.

Flu symptoms can strike at any time! Keep aware of the latest medical information with the 6th edition of Magill's Medical Guide from Salem Health. This online database is arguably more useful than the print version because of the search potential that exists with the mixing and matching of terms (symptoms, for example) that will help locate specific diseases. The online version also comes complete with the photos, illustrations, and sidebars that would be found in the physical reference set. Click to read more about this medical resource!
Purpose of Database
Magill's Medical Guide contains a great deal of authoritative medical information written in a way that is accessible to the general public and student researchers alike. The articles are more informative than popular health magazines, but don't contain the amount of jargon and detail that would be found in academic medical journals. The set includes over 1,000 essays that are maintained for accuracy by a panel of medical experts. However, Salem Health is very quick to note that this resource is meant for broad informational purposes only, and treatments and therapies should be used only under medical supervision. All should be aware that this guide should not be used for self-diagnosis or self-medication, and the editors of the resource always recommend consultation with a physician. Salem Health admits that they are not, nor do they consider themselves to be absolutely conclusive on information in such a constantly changing field.
Search & Results
I recommend starting with a single word in the basic search either from the Home or Search tab. You can select where you would like to find your search term, whether in the title, abstract, or full text, etc. We only have a subscription to one of Salem Health's resources: Magill's Medical Guide, so don't worry about trying to adjust that drop down option. Let's just do a sample search of "arthritis." You can see that one half of the page is results (122), and the other side provides more options to limit your search. These options are exactly the same as what you would find in their advanced search, so I think it's best to see a broad result list and then easily narrow down from there. I like that the creators of this resource have simplified Boolean searching by providing little boxes with textual explanations- this is very easy to use. If we are not interested in rheumatoid arthritis, we can just put "rheumatoid" in the "Without the words" text box and limit our results by more than half. The searching by category option might be useful in rare situations, but I think that option is best used when doing general browsing (more on that later). Results can be sorted by relevance, title, and length. Theoretically, the results on the right-hand side should be categorized by age and gender, noted by the little tabs at the top, but I have tried many search terms and cannot get results to appear anywhere but in the "All" category.
Once you click on an article to read, you can see that information is laid out in a very organized manner. Each article begins with a definition and "Causes and Symptoms," and then proceeds to the pleasantly alliterative "Treatment and Therapy" and "Perspective and Prospects" sections. Skip ahead to a certain section by using the Table of Contents field on the left hand side of the screen. You'll notice that your search term is highlighted in yellow throughout the document, and if you click on the blue links, pop-up boxes will provide the definition. Definitions for key terms are also sometimes shown in the left-hand column along with quick glance information and related topics. Patrons also might want to check out the bibliographies provided at the end of each essay for other resources of interest.
Browsing and Other Tabs
The browsing tab in the main menu bar might be useful if a patron is not sure what their search term should be. They can browse through eight different categories, including: Anatomy & Physiology, Diagnosis & Testing, Diseases, Disorders, & Symptoms, Mental Health, Prevention & Lifestyles, Social Issues, Specialties & Health Care Providers, and Treatment & Therapy. If you click on a category, you can see that there are relatively few articles that have been catalogued. I am not sure if this is an ongoing process, or if it is somehow incomplete. For this reason, I'd recommend starting with a search term and only using this browsing tab in the situation where a key word to search does not come readily to mind.The other main menu tabs – Indexes and Glossary – are not extremely useful in our situation. Indexes would only be necessary if we subscribed to more than one Salem Health resource, and a Glossary search simply reverts back to the basic search tab. You can use the Profile and Logon tabs to save articles, searches, and citations.
In conclusion, I think this resource is a good place to go for dependable, albeit somewhat general information on medical topics. There do seem to be a few kinks that need to be worked out, but on the whole information is laid out in a very clear and organized manner. I don't think this resource could replace authoritative online sources like Web MD, but because the results are typically not overwhelming (search results for "kidney disease" in Web MD = 2,691 and Magill's = 252), it is certainly a good place to start research and become familiar with the basics of a particular medical topic.

Katherine Harris Plays Dumb
Defense contractor Mitchell J. Wade pled guilty yesterday to election law fraud, among other charges for making illegal campaign contributions, including $32,000 in illegal contribution to Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL).
Katherine Harris claims she had no idea there was anything amiss when she received the contributions. In a statement she said the incident "demonstrates the perils of a process in which candidates are sometimes asked to determine the intent of a contributor."
Her story isn't very credible, for three reasons —
1. The illegal donations arrived on the same day. Had various employees of MZM independently decided to donate money to Harris there wouldn't have been any problem. The donations were illegal because they were coordinated by Mitchell Wade, who reimbursed his employees. Seven MZM employees sent 28K in donation on the same day, March 23, 2004. (Mitchell's wife, Christiane sent 4K a week later.) It's theoretically possible that all seven employees just happened to independently send maximum contributions to the same candidate on the same day, but it doesn't take a genius to realize they were coordinated.
2. MZM was Harris' largest campaign contributor by far. Money from MZM employees and PAC was the top source of cash for Harris' campaign by a more than 2-to-1 margin. This makes it virtually impossible that she wasn't aware of the suspiciously timed transaction. Here's a chart of her top contributors from Open Secrets:
3. Wade told Harris his intentions. He took Harris out to lunch and told her MZM wanted an earmark for a defense project. According to the Washington Post, Harris asked for it but wasn't able to get it. Harris knew exactly what Wade expected in return for the cash and did what she could to get for him.
Perhaps Harris is completely innocent. The available evidence, however, doesn't support that conclusion.

IOC non-decision on Russia 'gutless', says Tallent
Australia's newly minted Olympic gold medallist Jared Tallent has condemned the IOC's stance on Russia as gutless.
Michael Gleeson is a senior AFL football writer and Fairfax Media's athletics writer. He also covers tennis, cricket and other sports. He won the AFL Players Association Grant Hattam Trophy for excellence in journalism for the second time in 2014 and was a finalist in the 2014 Quill Awards for best sports feature writer. He was also a finalist in the 2014 Australian Sports Commission awards for his work on 'Boots for Kids'. He is a winner of the AFL Media Association award for best news reporter and a two-time winner of Cricket Victoria's cricket writer of the year award. Michael has covered multiple Olympics, Commonwealth Games and world championships and 15 seasons of AFL, He has also written seven books - five sports books and two true crime books.
Australia's newly minted Olympic gold medallist Jared Tallent has condemned the IOC's stance on Russia as gutless.
Russia's athletics team will definitely not compete in Rio after the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected a Russian appeal against their ban.
Josh Ralph is the unluckiest man in Australian sport.
Australian 400m champion Steve Solomon has missed his last chance to beat the qualifying time for selection for the Rio Olympic Games.
Russian athletes remain doubtful to be on the track in Rio another drug cheat stands poised to claim gold medal in the Olympics' premier event.
A week after being belatedly crowned Olympic champion Jared Tallent could be in line for further retrospective medals after reports Italian Alex Schwazer, who has twice beaten him to gold, has failed another drug test.
Long time sport administrator Stephen Gough has announced his retirement from the Melbourne Cricket Club after 17 years in the job.
Raelene Boyle was twice cheated out of Olympic gold just as Jared Tallent was. She knows she is just as deserving of retrospective gold medals as Jared Tallent. But she also knows she is unlikely ever to get those medals like Jared Tallent did in Melbourne on Friday.
One thousand four hundred and five days after he should have stood on the podium in London Jared Tallent's long walk to Olympic gold ended when he was awarded the gold medal denied him by a Russian doping cheat.
Sally Pearson admits she had "retired in my head" after she shattered her wrist in Rome twelve months ago.

A procedure is described for the segmentation, content-based coding, and visualization of videoconference image sequences. First, image sequence analysis is used to estimate the shape and motion parameters of the person facing the camera. A spatiotemporal filter, taking into account the intensity differences between consequent frames, is applied, in order to separate the moving person from the static background. The foreground is segmented in a number of regions in order to identify the face. For this purpose, we propose the novel procedure of K-means with connectivity constraint algorithm as a general segmentation algorithm combining several types of information including intensity, motion and compactness. In this algorithm, the use of spatiotemporal regions is introduced since a number of frames are analyzed simultaneously and as a result, the same region is present in consequent frames. Based on this information, a 3-D ellipsoid is adapted to the person's face using an efficient and robust algorithm. The rigid 3-D motion is estimated next using a least median of squares approach, Finally, a virtual reality modeling language (VRML) file is created containing all the above information; this file may be viewed by using any VRML 2.0 compliant browser

Take The Leap is about what it means to step outside the parameters of familiarity and explore unchartered ideas and spaces. We pursue the unknown because it brings a strong tremor to our knees but a far stronger fervour to our hearts. Doubts placed upon us do not hinder our performance, but only motivate us to venture further and surpass preconceived notions of our potential.
TEDxSFU 2016 encourages the community to acknowledge fear, embrace uncertainty, and conquer unconventionally extraordinary aspirations. Each speaker has seized their individual endeavours and molded them into their own distinct visions; however one thing unifies them: their decision to take the leap.

Wow. We thought driving across the country was tough on our bodies, but our first month in Portland—filled with moving into our new places, unpacking boxes, and spending hours each day hunched over our computers—had us more knotted up than ever. We knew we needed a good yoga session to get ourselves back on track, so we looked up the local Lululemon. Pretty much anyone who's ever done a downward dog knows that the company makes insanely well-fitting, super-long-lasting, crazy-flattering yoga apparel, but did you know they also offer free weekly yoga classes at all their locations? Truly, you don't pay a dime. Just show up, grab one of the store's mats, and settle in for an hour-long session of intense, mind-clearing stretching led by a yoga instructor from the community.
Tonight's session at the Portland Lululemon was led by Alex Cole, who, with his wife, Terri, just opened YoYo Yogi in downtown Portland. (Don't be surprised if the studio gets its own post on this blog one day. The philosophy behind what they teach is very cool, and their story is even cooler.) Alex seemed to know exactly what we needed tonight, leading us through a series of poses that targeted all our tight spots (our backs and our hips haven't felt so good in months!). We ended the class feeling like completely different people and vowing to find a yoga studio close to where we live so we can work in several sessions a week. And it goes without saying that next time we're on the road and find ourselves in need of a good stretch, we'll head straight for the nearest Lululemon.

There are two types of Jew. One who is a Jew only on the outside, and another one who is Jew on the inside. That one who is a Jew on the outside just does not obey the commandments of God, who is Jew on the interior reflects such orders, despite having no Jews parents, he has a Jew heart.
And ultimately this is what really is important, because God does not choose the person by the body (vessel), but God chooses the person by the heart (soul).
Thus: We are all children of Abraham, Abraham is the spiritual father of all of us, not only of circumcised Jew, but also what is uncircumcised.

Saturday (morning) Market Wrap for September 15, 2012
Good Morning:
As you may already know this is my regular posting of my proprietary General Market Index and is my Weekly measurement (Inflection Point Count - scale: 0 max. Bearish / 100 max. Bullish) of the probability of a new Bullish and / or Bearish Inflection Point occurring in the very near-term. That means it is Eminent.
This all dates back to over 50 years of my work / analytics of Inflection Points. I have written a large number of articles on my Methodology which is based on the early and clear Forecasting and Identification of all Inflection Points. I know of no other source of information and data that provides LEADING guidance with this consistent accuracy.
The following articles may be used as a reference:
My Methodology:

Kim Richey: Sweetly Alluring, Folk-Friendly Country
Hear an Interview and In-Studio Performance
Set List
- "Come Around"
- "The Circus Song"
- "Jack and Jill"
- "Chinese Boxes"
- "Not a Love Like This"
Nashville singer-songwriter Kim Richey has found more success as a songwriter than as a singer: She wrote huge country hits in the '90s for Trisha Yearwood and Radney Foster, but her own output has made her more of a critics' darling than a mainstream hitmaker.
Since the release of her self-titled debut album in 1995, Richey has won raves for her sweetly alluring, folk-friendly brand of country, as discs such as 1997's Bitter Sweet and 1999's Glimmer cemented her status as a gifted songwriter whose songs pack considerable mainstream appeal. A more ambitious 2002 record (Rise) expertly balanced a wide range of moods, rhythms and styles; she just returned with a long-awaited follow-up called Chinese Boxes.

Pulls with the most transference?
If one had to choose between snatch pulls and clean pulls, which one is the most useful (has the most carryover/transference)?
I'm mainly referring to carryover/transference in OL itself.
My guess would be clean pulls, as they simply use more weight.
I will give you only my opinion on this.
For Oly-lifting both of them are quiet diffrent. Its like me asking "should I deadlift, or backsquat in order to get better at both", niether does the deadlift do much to my squat or vise-versa...
Similarly, the snatch neads more speed, clean has more wieght therefors its more of strentgh.
The snatch is more about shoulder flexibility and stability, it uses the hips more. Aghh, the clean is more about some other stuff....
I dont really think one of them will get you better at both, not even a little bit. The lifts are just so diffrent.
According to coach Burgener the snatch requires more power out-put, the most expolsive power, and is a better representation of an athletes ability.
I personally also think that (if anything) the snatch will get you better at the clean, if I ever had to choose only one, Ill go for snatches =))))
(All this is m personal opinion, Im not certified or anything like that so its up to you)
If we are talking in transference to oly lifts then both are important. I don't waste my time doing deadlifts, I just do pulls. In terms, of replicating the bar path of a snatch or clean, it is challenging.
Snatch Pull - due to this being generally a lighter weight than clean pull, this has a tendency to be used more from experience. I personally struggle with retraction and posture with this lift as its normally at 100%+.
Clean Pull - Due to it being a considerable weight (100%+ of clean), this weight tests my first pull and postural control. Anything over 3 reps normally turns into a clean deadlift.
If we are talking transfer into athletic performance, It really depends on the athlete and their ability. Normally less experienced athletes would use the blocks, as the 1st Pull/start position adds problems later in the lift and they get the appropiate adaptations from the 2nd Pull/Drive phase.
In my current program, I am using more snatch pulls than clean pulls as I have more issues with my snatch than CJ. I guess what I'm trying to say that it all comes down to speification. The snatch is always taught first by most coaches, so that may be a hint to which has more transference to oly lifting in general.
What are you trying to improve, Garret?
I'd like to improve my OLs, but there isn't enough room in my program to be totally OL-specific.
I'd say I'm furthest away from my C&J goal, but I am most limited on that by my jerks at this time.
Anyway, I love pulls, but to avoid burning out, I wanted to know which one might give max benefit if I could only do one.
Hey Garrett,
if there was only one then it would have to be snatch pulls: requires more torso stabilisation due to the back angle, and you can still work the power, which shoud carry over to the clean nicely.
having said that, the bar position at the end of the 1st pull is a little different, so drilling that just with the snatch pulls might not give you as much of an effect as the clean pulls.
if you only have room for one, do snatch pulls.
OR: do 2-3 lighter sets of snatch pulls and then 2-3 heavier sets of clean pulls, not ideal, but maybe a reasonlable alternative?
Check your inbox...
Personally, the way I would perform pulls would be quite different than anyone else. If I ever do pulls, I use no straps and I do singles (or clusters) and I let it go after the 2nd pull. Let me explain why I do this.
First off, the point of Weightlifting is to improve your snatch and CJ, and these are explosive movements and they are only done for max weight not repetitions. Doing singles on pulls allows you to focus on maintaining your explosiveness and positioning while reducing fatigue. Secondly, etting go of the bar helps to ensure you don't hang out at the top of the pull or have to worry about slowing the bar down back to the hang or floor.
I treat pulls like I would a heavy snatch or clean where my grip came off: a single repetiton with a heavy weight and build volume off of that. I know this is different from what others do with pulls but IMO every accessory movement should have as much transfer as possible to the lifts.
A question for all those who can help.
I dont meant to hijack this thread but the opportunity to ask presents it self after Brian's question...
Are CrossFit WODS Randy and Grace simply met-cons that are useless when it comes to devoloping power.
For those of you who dont know them
30 C@J of 135 pounds for time (takes elite athletes 2-4 minutes for 30 reps)
75 reps of 75 pounds snatch (takes 4 minutes too)
Are the simple endurance Wods that have no contribution whatsoever to power, or strentgh...
In the Russian method, Snatch Pulls are "extra" lifts. So I'd drop them. But, really, one week do clean pulls and one week do Snatch pulls. Once/ month finish the snatch pull with your arms; never finish with your arms in the clean pull (this adviceafter working with Victor Gallego; finishging the snatch pull once in a while helps your finish in the snatch, but just once in a while is necessary).
Almost all my pulls are singles/ doubles; snatch pulls under 80% sometimes go 3-5, depending on the plan for the month. Occasionally, clean pulls from high blocks will go up to a set of 5.

The people lead, the politicians follow.
Then it's a good thing no one proposed an oppressive law that removed the 2nd amendment.
IF you are really interested, then start NOW and get the paperwork going for that idea to be put on the ballot. You start a petition, I will sign it.
Depite the claims of polls the majority of Americans did not support stricter gun support. Go back and look at the news, for every one story claiming the majority of Americans were for ever stricter gun control laws there were eight showing that gun sales were way up and that there were places where it was the exact opposite to stricter gun control. This was from around the country. There was just yesterday a news story that the AR-15 is selling in record numbers since these last few months. Stricter gun control laws aren't going to stop gun crimes from happening as the only ones who tey will affect will be law abiding citizens, but the irony is those pushing for such don't want to get that. They want to believe that if it becomes illegal folks won't have it. There is a reason why so many of these crimes are already said to be carried out with illegal guns, and such crimes will continue whether or not there is stricter gun control.
If stricter gun laws don't work then why is gun violence down so much in Australia after they enacted strict gun laws?
"voted on by the PEOPLE, not by the Congress?"
I would sign your petition. I would also be more than willing to support the true will of the people in such an issue, regardless of how it impacts me. That's democracy. My concern and I'm hoping not to appear cynical, but: many times in many states the people have voted on a bill, and the opposition didn't like the results so they threw it into the courts and in many cases overturned the "will of the people." California is a classic case of that with the gay marriage bill. It would also be nice if they wrote the proposed legislation so someone that didn't go to law school could understand it..
None of it is oppressive or violates the 2nd Amendment. Read it again to refresh your memory.
You will also find that only 32% are doing all that gun buying.
People voted for Obama because he still looked better than Romney, which isn't saying much at all.
You mean a response you can't answer with logic, facts or support. Which is you and so many others here operates. Factless, hopeless and useless.

Finn: England have the edge
Keep up to date with England's progress against Sri Lanka with our in-depth day-by-day reports - plus all the reaction, video highlights and live photos
Steven Finn believes England hold the aces going into the last day of the second npower Test at Lord's after turning the game in their favour today.
Finn took two wickets today to claim 4-108 as Sri Lanka were reduced from 372 for three overnight to 479 all out - a first-innings deficit of seven - following a rain delay until 1.10pm.
Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott then shared a hundred partnership to recover from the loss of Andrew Strauss for nought. Cook was unbeaten on 61 at stumps in a total of 149 for two - a lead of 156.
Looking back to the end of day two when Sri Lanka were 231 for one, Finn was pleased with England's advantage if not getting ahead of himself.
"From the position we were in at the end of the second day, we've fought back incredibly well," he said.
"We're in a great position to push on tomorrow. We're not looking beyond that first hour, but we'll look to consolidate in the first hour and push on from there."
He added: "There's been a huge momentum shift in the game again at the beginning of today. The Sri Lankan batsmen could have come out and could still be batting now and be in a great position.
"But for us to take seven wickets in that afternoon session and be 150 ahead with two down and some of the batsman we have, I think we're in a fantastic position."
Finn's fourth wicket, that of Prasanna Jayawardene for 40, made the 22-year-old the youngest England player to take 50 Test wickets.
However, he played down the significance of the achievement, emphasising the importance of the team effort.
"I knew I'd taken 50 wickets but didn't have a clue I was the youngest to do it," he revealed.
"But that's not something we're very focused on. We're focused on winning games of cricket, and performing as a unit and as a team.
"No one is really interested in their own personal gain; obviously (they are) in their own personal performance, pride in that, and contributing to the team.
"Accolades or stats like that are hugely satisfying, but not something I focus on."
Part of Finn's team ethic involved him being padded up to go in as nightwatchman - in place of the injured James Anderson, who usually takes the role - should England have lost a late wicket.
"I had the pads on, the chest pad, thigh pad, the lot, two boxes. I was ready to go out there and do it if I had to," he said, partly in jest. "But thankfully the two guys out there held their positions and played well.
"I love my batting, and have worked immensely hard on it over the last year to 18 months. I feel like I've improved greatly, and if I'd got out there I'm sure I'd be sitting here as a not-out batsman."
