I don't buy a lot of games.
Mostly, I don't play very many games, although I've been playing Culdcept and Dead Space lately.
But I really wanted to play Portal, because I've heard it's so amazing.
And now, I'm about twenty minutes in to installing it, and it's nowhere near done, as far as I can tell.
First it installed Steam. I don't want Steam; I've never wanted Steam, it's a waste of time and memory and bandwidth.
Then I had to create a Steam account to even install Portal. This despite my having plunked down my money at a counter to purchase the stupid game. It tells me I can't access the games that I've already paid for without my Steam account. Which I didn't want anyway.
Fuck you, Valve. You're lucky I'm so lazy that I'm willing to put up with this shit this time. I won't be buying any more of your games in the future, though.
EDIT: I think the thing that annoys me most of all is that I wanted to just sit down and play portal for a bit. Instead, I'm still waiting. Console gaming is looking more appealing all the time...
"The true criterion of the practical, therefore, is not whether the latter can keep intact the wrong or foolish; rather is it whether the scheme has vitality enough to leave the stagnant waters of the old, and build, as well as sustain, new life." -- Emma Goldman

Steve Hill, the one-man band blues rock machine, will release his new 14-track live album "The One-Man Blues Rock Band" on Manhaton Records in the UK on Friday 11h May 2018. To support the release, Steve will tour the UK in May supporting King King and Danny Bryant.
Steve Hill is the multi-Juno award winner for "Blues Album of the Year," 2016 Maple Blues Award Winner for "Electric Act of the Year" "Guitarist of the Year" and "Entertainer of the Year."
"The one-man band style has made Steve Hill the top star in the Canadian blues scene right now," says Bob Mersereau of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. When it comes to one-man bands, guitarist and singer extraordinaire Steve Hill has no limits. Anything goes. He is the true exponent of a one-man band. Steve performs standing up while singing and playing guitar, his feet playing bass drum, snare drum, hi-hats and with a drum stick fused to the head of his trusty guitar, any other percussion within reach.
"The One-Man Blues Rock Band" features originals that are outright rockers (Damned, Dangerous, Rhythm All Over, The Ballad of Jonny Wabo, Still Got It Bad to more acoustic-based melodic tracks (Emily) and three re-imagined and rearranged covers (Voodoo Child). The live album shows an artist at the top of his game. It comes as no surprise why the Montreal Gazette has referred to Steve Hill as, "the meanest guitar player in Canada."
"I wanted to capture a live album that featured all the energy of my live shows," says Steve. There are no overdubs on this live album… I play everything myself in real time. There are no tapes or loops. What you hear is what you get."

Ride The Wave? Cynthia Bailey's Hilarious "Struggle Twerk" Is Back Again
Cynthia Bailey is still on a mission to twerk or so it seems…
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star was having a good time in the sun during her Costa Rica getaway with her lover, Fox Sports host Mike Hill.
Hill captured Bailey as she attempted to push her hands on your knees stance into overdrive all while standing in a pool.
"She say she can twerk better in the water," Hill's voice says from the opposite side of the phone.
"You can go at anytime babe," Hill says.
"I'm twerking!" Cynthia responds.
"I don't see no waves!" he says.
For some reason Bailey thought the waves would increase the bounce, but judging from the video, the waves did not clap back (insert sad face).
But Bailey kept her composure and tried again, this time on the steps from the pool where she finally was able to create a little bounce action.
In December Bailey went viral over this very same reason when her hilarious twerk to Drake's "In My Feelings" was captured on camera by her cast mate Kandi Burruss.
Either way it looks like Cynthia and Mike are enjoying their time together and seem like wedding bells could be ringing sometime soon.

Aytu BioScience Announces European Distribution Agreements for Company's MiOXSYS™ System for Male Infertility
Establishes Initial European Distribution Network with Established Reproductive Health Companies for MiOXSYS™ System
Jun 13, 2016, 08:05 ET
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Aytu BioScience, Inc. (OTCQX: AYTU), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on global commercialization of novel products in the field of urology, today announced that it has entered into agreements with five leading European specialty medical distributors to commercialize the Company's MiOXSYS™ System. MiOXSYS is the company's in vitro diagnostic platform for assessing the level of oxidative stress in semen as an aid in the diagnosis of infertility in men. In January, MiOXSYS obtained CE Marking in Europe and other markets.
Aytu's distribution partners were chosen for their experience in the commercialization of reproductive health products and their strong presence in countries with a significant market opportunity for male infertility products. The initial European commercial network includes Tani Medikal in Turkey, TECOmedical in Switzerland and Germany, Parallabs in the United Kingdom and France, THP Medical Products in Austria, and Durviz S.L. in Spain. Aytu expects to expand its ex-U.S. distribution channel in line with ramping commercial sales in territories where MiOXSYS is approved.
Josh Disbrow, Chief Executive Officer of Aytu, stated, "These distribution partners set a very high standard in marketing reproductive health products like MiOXSYS. As Aytu continues to garner interest among European reproductive medicine experts, it was important to align with strategic distributors who understand the European infertility market. We look forward to generating initial sales for MiOXSYS in Europe as we continue to build support among prominent thought leaders in the field of male reproductive health."
About Aytu BioScience, Inc.
Aytu BioScience is a commercial-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on global commercialization of novel products in the field of urology. The company currently markets two products: ProstaScint® (capromab pendetide), the only FDA-approved imaging agent specific to prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), and Primsol® (trimethoprim hydrochloride), the only FDA-approved trimethoprim-only oral solution for urinary tract infections. Aytu recently acquired exclusive U.S. rights to Natesto®, the first and only FDA-approved nasal formulation of testosterone for men with hypogonadism (low testosterone, or "Low T"), which the company plans to launch in July 2016. Additionally, Aytu is developing MiOXSYS™, a novel, rapid semen analysis system with the potential to become a standard of care for the diagnosis and management of male infertility caused by oxidative stress. MiOXSYS is commercialized outside the U.S. where it is a CE Marked, Health Canada cleared product, and Aytu is conducting U.S.-based clinical trials in pursuit of 510k de novo medical device clearance by the FDA. Aytu's strategy is to continue building its portfolio of revenue-generating urology products, leveraging its focused commercial team and expertise to build leading brands within well-established markets.

Full page, even! This is making my blood boil. I am not Armenian, but a large chunk of my mom's family are descendants of Armenian refugees who experienced untold horrors (edit: linked article is the story of my mom's cousins' grandparents, written by one of the cousins - I am related to the Armenian ancestors only through marriage).
In the Gawker article:
A Wall Street Journal spokesperson provided the following comment:
We accept a wide range of advertisements, including those with provocative viewpoints. While we review ad copy for issues of taste, the varied and divergent views expressed belong to the advertisers.
PROVOCATIVE! Mmmm, sounds sexy. Like artistic nudes! Like politically-charged graffiti! Yeah, provocative is the word you're looking for... /s/
I also like how ads are reviewed for taste but this one made the cut.
Some yahoo in the comments is like, "but why does it matter whether it's called a genocide?" Things are easy when you didn't grow up in the shadow of grief and PTSD, huh buddy?

Workspace excellence, every day of the year
How much time do you spend looking after your car? Probably quite a lot if you care about keeping it in good condition, running smoothly and looking respectable in the company car park. But when you consider how much time you and your colleagues spend at work, doesn't it make sense to look after your workspace to the same standard?
Just as your car's appearance creates an impression of you, your workspace helps project your company's image and reputation. So if you have invested in an inspirational new office, it doesn't make sense for your investment to be undermined by failing to keep it at its best. An office can go from smart to shabby very quickly if there is no conscious effort to maintain it – once there is a scuff or two, a third just won't seem to matter so much. The result is that as well as staff morale sinking, anyone seeing your workspace will get a poor first impression. This isn't great if they're a customer, and just as bad if it's a prospective employee. A proven road to attracting and keeping sharp, talented people who are professional and presentable is to ensure your space demonstrates the same attributes. After all, your team probably spend more time at work than they do at home: morale is not all about pay rises, it's about workplace environment and culture.
However, maybe the time and effort to keep your workspace in prime shape just isn't available. Fortunately, just as with keeping your car in tip-top condition, there is another option: you can get someone else to do it for you. Which is where Accent Upkeep™ comes in…
Upkeep™ is designed to preserve and protect your investment in your people and your property. It's your insurance policy against wear and tear, covering maintenance and repairs outside the fit-out warranty. We will share our knowledge and expertise to make your space work even harder for you, in order to achieve long term cost savings.

Zeus raises $24 million to fund expansion
US: Furnished housing for business provider Zeus has raised $24 million to fund its expansion in to the corporate housing market.
San Francisco-based Zeus inspects, furnishes and rents private homes to business travellers. It has annual revenues of $45 million from renting out 900 homes in 23 US cities.
The $24 million raise includes a previous $2.5 million seed round from Bowery, a new $11.5 million Series A led by Initialized Capital whose partner Garry Tan has joined Zeus' board, and $10 million in debt to pay fixed costs such as furniture. The company's plan is to add more homes, build better landlord portal software, and forge partnerships or in-house divisions for cleaning and furnishing.
"In the first decade out of school people used to have two jobs. Now it's four jobs and it's trending to five," said Zeus co-founder and CEO Kulveer Taggar. "We think in 10 years, these people won't be buying furniture."
After studying at Oxford and working as an analyst at Deutsche Bank, Taggar created and sold several tech start-ups before founding Zeus.
Potential Zeus landlords type in their address, the property's number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and some aesthetic specs, and they get a monthly price quote. Zeus does a 250-point quality assessment, collects floor plans, furnishes the property, and handles cleaning and maintenance. It works with partners like Helix mattresses, Parachute sheets, and Simple Human trash cans to get bulk rates.
"We raised debt because we had these fixed investments into furniture. It's not as dilutive as selling pure equity" said Taggar.
Zeus finds tenants through listings on Airbnb and relationships with employers such as Darktrace and ZS Associates. After passing background checks, tenants get digital lock codes and access to 24/7 support. The goal is to get someone sleeping in a new property in just 10 days.
"Traditional corporate housing is $10,000 a month in SF in the summer or at extended stay hotels. Airbnb isn't well suited for multi-month stays. We're about half the price of traditional corporate housing for a better product and a better experience," said Taggar.
Zeus signs minimum two-year leases with landlords and tries to extend them to five years when possible. It gets one free month of rent as is standard for property managers, but doesn't charge an additional rate.
"Zeus has been instrumental for my company to start the process of re-location to the Bay Area and to host our visiting employees from abroad now that we are settled," said Zeus client Meitre's Luis Caviglia. "I particularly like the 'hard truths' featured in every property, and the support we have received when issues arose during our stays."
Taggar concludes: "It feels like I'm running five startups at once. Pricing, supply chain, customer service, B2B. We've decided to make everything custom - our own property manager software, our own internal CRM. We think these advantages compound, but I could be wrong and they could be wasted effort."

BTS's Jungkook Releases Cover Of "Beautiful" From "Goblin" Soundtrack
BTS's Jungkook just surprised his fans (and fans of the drama "Goblin") by releasing a cover of an OST from the hit series!
Originally sung by Crush as part of the "Goblin" soundtrack, Jungkook made his own cover of the song "Beautiful" and dedicated it to fans. Viewers of the show will immediately recognize the song as soon as it begins to play, but what's surprising is how perfectly Jungkook's sweet vocals fit the song. It sounds almost as if he were the original singer.
Jungkook uploaded the song onto Twitter saying that he hoped people would look forward to their next album. He also added that the song wasn't really a cover but more of his feelings for fans.
Check out the beautiful cover below! What do you think?

Are you in your last year of your Bachelor? Do you wish to apply for a Master starting next year, maybe abroad, but you don't have any idea about where to start looking? Then keep on reading, because this is the ultimate guide to applying for a Masters Degree!
Many students wait until graduation to start thinking about their Master, only to find out that application periods for the Master they wanted are already over.
In addition, most people don't realise how much time and effort it takes to apply for a Master program, and that is why it is so important to start early and be prepared!
This guide will give you some tips on how to find and apply to the Master of your dreams!
When to start looking?
The earlier, the better! Some Masters have application deadlines in January (so January 2019 to start in September 2019 for instance), but most of them have the first deadlines in March or April. So you need to start searching at least during the winter of your last Bachelor year!
How to find the perfect program for you?
When I was looking for the Business Administration Masters, the best website I came across is mastersportal.com. This website includes every Master program in the world and often contains all the information you need to decide whether it's a good fit for you or not. Things you need to check are:
1.The tuition fee – If it doesn't fit your budget, then you can cross it off immediately!
2. The program content – Do you really like the subjects?
3.Career opportunities – Will you be able to get a well paid job with this degree?
4.University Ranking – The higher the better! You can check them here
5. The duration of the program – Do you want a two-year or one-year program?
6. The city/country – If you are considering moving, you should definitely think about whether you will like living in that city!
Ok, you found some programs you like! What are the next steps?
- Check the deadlines!
2. Check the general admission requirements! Most programs will require the following:
- Graduation before July/August
- Your grades correspond to the requirements (some Universities are more or less strict about them)
- Knowledge of the language the program will be taught in. If the program is in English, you will most likely need an IELTS or a TOEFL certification, and it is better if you prepare these exams a few months in advance (for example, I did my IELTS in November 2017 and my Masters started in August 2018)
3. Check the specific admission requirements! Top programs such as those of Business Schools or Scientific Universities will require you to have certain competencies. For some Masters, you could even have to pass an exam! That is the case for most Business programs, which require you to have the GMAT or the GRE. I took the GMAT and it was quite difficult to study for it while writing my thesis and taking the last exams, so it is really important to start preparing for it as soon as possible.
4. Check which documents to prepare. Usually, you will need:
- Your CV
- A motivational letter on why you want to do that program
- One or more reference letters written by your professors or employers
- Transcript of grades from the Bachelor
- High School Diploma
- And, when you will get it, your graduation Diploma. All diplomas usually need to be certified copies (with the apostille and the university stamp). So again, the earlier you have them the better!
- And finally, the language test score or GMAT/GRE test score
Be careful! If you are applying for a university in a country which is not your own, you should also have certified translations of the diplomas and the transcript of grades
5. Pay the registration fee (yes, you need to pay to apply) and start the application process

You Won't Believe What This Man Swam Alongside With in Dubai!
Check out the incredible footage
Whale sharks have been a regular occurrence in this city with sightings in Dubai Marina but recently, a Dubai resident managed to get up close and personal with the creature.
Nick Watson, swam in Jumeirah's Open Beach, where he spotted the fish and swam with it for about an hour.
"People keep asking me if I was scared at any point, but I was far from scared. The shark was completely relaxed and so placid" said the father of two. He had spotted the fin from the beach, thinking it was a dolphin so he went in to the sea to "explore" but then soon realized it was actually a 6-metre whale shark. "I showed the shark my full respect, letting it lead the way."
The clip him and his family filmed was posted on to Facebook and has gained over 16,000 views. Check out the video by clicking here!

California Condor Complete Meal in a Pie
Introduction: California Condor Complete Meal in a Pie
The California Condor is the largest North American land bird. As of 2011 there were only 390 know, making them one of the rarest also. Thankfully my pie does not contain any condor meat or other meat for that matter. Instead, it uses a device called a pie bird to allow me to make two pies in the same dish. My particular pie bird was a christmas present and is named after the California Condor.
Extra fact: The California Condor was used as the model for the Skeksis in the Movie The Dark Crystal.
This Pie was a last minute one. I was originally planning on doing a half apple half blueberry pie but I found that I did not have enough blueberry filling left over from the EnterPi. I only had enough apples for half a pie so my girlfriend and I brainstormed filling for the other half. I had a small butternut squash all cubed and roasted that I was planning on adding to a Thai curry I had planned for dinner so we started with that. From other ingredients on had we came up with a plan.
Pie crust. I used some homemade gluten free that I had on hand. Any type will work.
Pie 1: Sweet
4 large Fuji apples. I use Fuji because they hold up well to baking. No mush!
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch. Flour will work too but I was keeping it GF.
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
Pie 2: Savory
1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed. Roasted is nice but optional.
1 med carrot diced.
1 celery stalk diced.
1 cup choconut milk.
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup red onion diced.
salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Making the Sweet
First peel and chop your apples nice and thin. I use a hand slicer and then my knife.
If you are making a whole pie or taking your sweet time you can sprinkle the sliced apple with lemon juice to keep them from browning.
In a mixing bowl mix the apples, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch until apples are coated.
Let stand 15 minutes stirring a few more times during that time.
Step 2: Making the Savory
In a saucepan bring a tablespoon of oil to med heat.
Add chopped onion and cook until soft. 2-3 minutes.
Add the carrots and celery and cook for another minute. Note: Add the squash with the carrot if not roasted.
Add the squash now if roasted.
Add the choconut milk and then the peas.
Cook the entire mixture on medium heat until it thickens and is reduced. 3-5 minutes. You could also add flour or cornstarch to help thicken it more if needed.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Making the Pie
I used some gluten free pie crust that I made last week. It is easy to roll out and easy to repair. I'll share the recipe for that next time.
Role out the pie dough so it will fill your pie plate.
Special note on pie plates: If you want to bake a pie with a nice crust invest in a good dish. I prefer ceramic but pyrex works well also. The thin disposable ones don't work well and I stay away from them. If you are making a pie you don't cook then this is not an issue.
Put the rolled out dough in your dish and stand your pie bird up in the middle.
I added some dough under the wings to keep the sides separated.
Carefully add your fillings to their repective sides.
Roll out the top crust and top the pie with it. Pinch the sides down and let the pie bird poke through. Clear the mouth of the pie bird so the pie can vent while cooking.
Now the crowning touch to making a nice looking and great tasting pie is to treat the top crust. Using a pastry brush I brushed the apple side with some of the apple/sugar/cinnamon juice left over in the bowl. This makes it look and taste great. Be generous with the juice. For the savory side I brushed it with leftover choconut milk and then added sea salt crystals to the top. This turned out so good.
Step 4: Bake That Pie
Put the pie in a pre heated oven at 450 degrees for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes reduce temp to 350 degrees and bake for another 20-30 minutes. Put a cookie sheet on a lower oven rack to catch any drippings off the pie. I cook mine until the crust is golden brown and the insides are bubbly. Cover the crust with foil if it starts to burn.
When finished remove from oven and let stand for a half hour at least. You want the pie to set up before slicing.
Step 5: Cut and Serve
When you come home at 2:20am after a night of dancing cut into this pie for a complete meal.
I look forward to making more whole meal pies in the future, perhaps a curry side next time.
I will add the information on the Pie-bird divider I am using. It seems they don't have a large web presence so I am having trouble finding them.
Thank you

Where do I get one of those big wing pie birds?
I just pulled out the box it came in and it was a limited edition for the Pie-Bird Collector Convention in Perrysville, OH back in 2010. I got it as a gift from a friend. Quick search online revealed nothing but the folded wings one. Sorry I could not be of more help.
This sounds really good, but I wasn't able to pay good attention to it after I read "Skeksis" and "Dark Crystal". Those scared the crap out of me when I was little...
This is so cool! I've never heard of a pie bird before. Thanks for the fun dark crystal factoid too! Voting for you & good luck!

In 2017, Author and Professional Dating Coach Alan Roger Currie was the very first African-American to speak at the 21 Convention in Orlando, Florida. This year, Currie will be joined by two other African-American speakers – Ed Latimore and Donovan Sharpe – for what has come to be known as the most popular weekend conference for married and unmarried (heterosexual) men in the world.
Orlando, FL, August 24, 2018 — Ask Author and Professional Dating Coach Alan Roger Currie about the differences between today's dating scene, and the dating scene for single heterosexual men sixty or seventy years ago, and Currie will quickly let you know that things are far more complicated for men today.
"In the first half of the 20th Century, dating primarily centered on one objective: finding a woman to be your wife and the mother to your children. Then, the period between 1960 and 1974 changed everything … and I mean, everything. Male-Female relationship dynamics have never been the same since."
This assessment is the basis for Currie's popular book, "The Beta Male Revolution: Why Many Men Have Totally Lost Interest in Marriage in Today's Society." Currie's book has been ranked as high as #5 in the "Gender Studies" category of best-sellers on Amazon.com, and it is this book that will provide most of Currie's talking points during his second straight speaking engagement at "The 21 Convention" in Orlando, Florida. In 2017, Currie was the first African-American to ever be a featured speaker at the annual convention in the ten-year history of the conference.
"Today, the cult following of heterosexual men around the globe known simply as the 'Manosphere' has grown exponentially, and it is very diverse. At one point, it was almost exclusively Caucasian men, but now you have a large faction of Asian men, Black men, Hispanic men, and Middle Eastern men who contribute to the Manosphere," said Currie, who works with male clients both within the United States and internationally. Currie recently worked with two male clients and one female client in Vancouver, BC (Canada) in late July.
Currie, who is a columnist and freelance writer on The NegroManosphere.com, believes many men are very frustrated by what they feel are harsh attacks on their sense of masculinity and sensuality by radical feminists, and just generally feeling that marriage is now a social construct that heavily benefits women in far more different ways than it does the average man.
Currie says that a good majority of the men he converses with feel that many women today are just way too promiscuous, way too hypergamous, and way too "bossy" to be viewed as "wife material" in their minds. Currie said that many men feel that today's women are simply not as feminine overall as they were 60 plus years ago.
"I would not blame all of the problems in today's dating scene on women, and feminists in particular, although they definitely deserve a big share of the blame. The truth is, men today are not nearly as selective as they once were. Men are far shallower and more superficial when it comes to a woman's level of physical attractiveness and their degree of sex appeal, and consequently, many men place far less value on a woman's moral character, integrity, and overall behavior or personality. Bottom line, members of both genders are to blame for today's very confusing and frustrating dating scene," said Currie, who is an alumnus of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Currie was born and raised in Gary, Indiana.
Men can listen to Alan Roger Currie speak at this year's 21 Convention event in Orlando Florida the weekend of October 11-14. A few tickets are still available here.
More about Alan Roger Currie can be found by visiting his Wikipedia.org page.
Currie's eBooks and paperbacks are available on Amazon.com, and his audiobooks are available on Audible.com

Commercial landscaping design, construction & maintenance
In addition to residential landscaping, Aeroscape Landscaping Inc. offers a full line of commercial services, ranging from complete landscaping design to installation of mulch, planters and flower gardens. We offer renovation and restoration of existing landscaping, as well as ongoing maintenance. Among the many commercial jobs Aeroscape Landscaping has completed, is the flower garden shown in the accompanying photograph. The garden, located in front of a Howell bank, received a Best of Show award in a landscaping contest.
Many companies are hesitant to spend money on landscaping because they see it as an unnecessary expense that doesn't add to the bottom line. But how a business looks on the outside can make a statement about how that business is run on the inside. An attractive, well-maintained landscape sends a positive message to customers as they enter a business: Here's a company that's well-run, efficient and good at what it does. Overgrown, unattractive landscaping can send the opposite message. It's a value that's difficult to quantify in terms of dollars spent, but one that can have a real impact on the growth of your business.
What kind of statement does your landscaping make?
To schedule a free consultation to review your landscaping needs, call owner John Toth at (734) 878-0107 or email us at email@example.com.

Do you find getting to the gym a challenge? Our modern hectic lifestyles can make it difficult for us to get to the gym. More people than ever before are working shift work and finding it tough to keep up with a fitness goal. We often think of shift workers as people who perhaps work in the automotive industry and factories. However, there are all types of shift work out there.
You may not think you are a shift worker, but in fact, you may be a shift worker without even thinking about it. Many professionals such as doctors, pilots and nurses are shift workers but don't consider themselves as such. But the truth is that professional groups are the ones which find it harder to keep up with training schedules more than other groups. Did you know that if you have a particular goal in mind and have a 9 to 5 job, you are much more likely to reach your fitness goal? When you work shift work, it will take you longer to achieve your goal as keeping up with training schedules can be a challenge.
When you work shift work, it could be a better idea to stop worrying about the gym, and invest in the best sports training products for working out at home.
There are clear advantages to investing in your own products but many of us are not sure what products we should be investing in and why we should buy them instead of others.
1) What is your fitness goal? Are you planning to run a marathon or get fit to take up a new sport? It could be that you are a runner at the moment but would like to get into archery. In that case, you need to focus on working out your upper body and arms.
Traditional hand-held weights are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Today, there are fitness products which are much more flexible. Instead of only working on your biceps, you can now get fitness gear which can help you to improve both your flexibility and muscle strength at the same time.
Training in your home will allow you to control your environment, and at the same time, give you the opportunity to workout whenever you finish your shift. Pilots often find working out a challenge as they are always traveling through time zones. Investing in home training products means they can control "their own time" and workout when they feel their energy levels are right.
Rowing for about 30 minutes per day will not only give you a perfect allover body workout but will also help you to burn between 250 to 300 calories. It is one of the most efficient and safest ways to workout at home and can be used to enhance any sports performance. It does not matter if you are a golfer or training for a long distance run.
Of course, you should consider adding supplements, vitamins and the right kind of training clothes. As always, it is a matter of finding the best sports training products which are right for your lifestyle and personal fitness goals.
Many people believe that certain athletes are born with speed. However, contrary to what people believe many athletes are not born with speed but they develop it with time and practice.

Elite athletes know that not all muscles are created equal. For sprinters and jumpers, the glutes and the hamstrings are their main powerhouse, with the glutes supplying 40% of the total power required and the hamstrings adding another 25%. Tennis and baseball players rely heavily on abdominal muscles with up to 50% of the force required for the swing coming from the rotational movement of the hips and shoulders. Additionally, since injuries can cripple or greatly slow down an athletic career, particularly vulnerable muscles such as back muscles need constant attention if one is to stay on course with their training.
The Ham Glute Developer was primarily developed to strengthen the glutes and the hamstrings. However, over time it has come to be used for more than ham glute exercises, finding application in abdominal training and exercise of the lower back.
As a training aid, the Ham Glute developer has a range of benefits. Some of the key reasons why one would wish to use it in training are:
Body Control
By virtue of its configuration, majority of the exercises performed on the Ham Glute Developer require proper control in order to achieve the correct form and obtain desired results. Several exercises require one to hold particular positions, and all motions are performed in a controlled manner, targeting specific muscles for specific results. As a result, use of the Ham Glute Developer enables one to develop extensive muscle control in terms of isolating particular muscles during motion, as well as controlling the extension and flexion of particular muscles. The overall goal is to ensure that muscles are activated in correct patterns, resulting in targeted training that generates great results.
An important part of exercise is learning to communicate effectively with one's own body. It is important to know the limits of your muscles, as well as be able to clearly identify which muscles are undergoing flexion and which are undergoing extension. Because the Ham Glute Developer exercises target specific muscle groups with specific motions, use of the machine in training enables the athlete to be more in tune with their bodies, which goes a long way in reaping maximum benefits from training as well as reducing occurrence of injuries.
Gradual Ramping of Intensity
For those engaged in cross-fit training, the guiding sequence is "Mechanics, Consistency, Intensity". This highlights the importance of obtaining the correct form first, then consistently performing the exercise correctly, before ramping up the intensity either by incorporation of weights or by increasing the number of repetitions. The Ham Glute Developer fits snugly into this mantra because it allows for initial training with no load. This is important for beginners, for whom weight training carries greater risk of injuries, as well as for seasoned athletes, particularly when attempting a new exercise or when warming up during training.
Greater Range of Motion
A vast majority of abdominal exercises are performed with the initial position being lying flat on the floor.. The Ham Glute Developer introduces extra range of motion due to its spherical surface, allowing for extension of the abdominal muscles through a greater range than is possible when one begins lying flat. This is particularly important for those involved in games such as volleyball, where the core muscles are required to be strong enough to facilitate motions in which the back is curved.
Ham Glute Developer Exercises
The Glute Ham Raise
This exercise targets the glutes and the hamstrings, and is actually the original exercise for which the machine was designed. For this exercise, the footplate is set such that when the the feet are secured in place, the seat supports the mid to upper thighs. The upper body, including the pelvis, is allowed to hang down over the seat and the knees are set 3 to 6 inches clear of the back edge of the seat.
The position required for the exercise involve having feet supported by the platform. The knees are placed on the pad, and the upper ankle hook is used to support the back of the calves. The upper body is held perpendicular to the floor.
You then lower yourself in a controlled motion, while squeezing the hamstring, glutes and abs, bringing the upper body to a position parallel to the floor. From that position, you return yourself to the initial position by pushing on the footplate. In this motion, the hamstrings are employed to pull the body up while the glutes remain contracted.
The glute ham raise provides major benefits to weightlifters, since it targets the muscles that primarily supply power during deadlifts, Olympic lifts and squats. Sprinters also benefit from the strengthening of calf muscles, hamstrings and glutes. Other benefits include reduction of injuries to the hamstring, back and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Back Extensions
For this exercise, the footplate is adjusted so that when the feet are secured in place, the entire hip area is supported atop the curved seat. The exercise begins with the upper body held in a position parallel to the gym floor. You then lower the upper body over the front curve of the seat as far as possible. When correct form is maintained in this exercise, the hip joint is static with all the movement arising from spinal flexion, or motion of the trunk.
Back extensions are useful for strengthening the lower back muscles, which is key in avoiding back injuries.
Sit Ups
Sit ups on the Ham Glute Developer are executed in a similar manner to regular sit ups performed on the floor, with the main difference being that the starting position has the upper body below the horizontal. This requires the back to be arched slightly. The pelvis rests on the inside edge of the seat, allowing the lower back to be fully supported throughout the motion. Feet are either secured between the rollers or under the lower rollers, then you raise yourself from the starting position to a sitting position. The exercise is completed by slowly moving back to the initial position, while maintaining control of the abdominal muscles.
A key benefit of performing sit ups on the ham glute developer rather than on the gym floor is the extended range of motion provided by the starting position, where the upper body is below the horizontal. This allows one to fully develop the muscles required during repetitive arching motions, such as those required in volleyball.
Other Exercises
The Ham Glute Developer can be used for other exercises such as advanced side bends, horizontal trunk twists (also known as Russian Twists) and inversions. The basic exercises listed can also be varied by incorporation of weights or including a twist of the torso at the end of each exercise.
In summary, given the versatility of the Ham Glute Developer and the great benefits it can give you, whether an elite athlete or a regular gym enthusiast, it is worthwhile incorporating it into your workout routine.
