With a government shutdown looming when the temporary spending bill expires March 18, many blame the split majorities in the House and Senate for delays in a final budget. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), agreed that a final agreement must be reached, but instead views the split chambers as an opportunity for debate that could lead to a better solution than a full majority could reach. Instead, he says, the divided government is being wasted.
McConnell, the lead Republican senator, appeared on CBS' Face the Nation Sunday morning, following senatorial colleague and Foreign Relations Committee chair Sen. John Kerry (D-MA). Kerry had called the GOP's proposed budget "reckless." Not surprisingly, McConnell disagreed with Kerry's analysis.
"What's reckless, Bob, is the $1.6 trillion deficit we're running this year," he told host Bob Schieffer. "What's reckless is the $3 trillion we've added to our national debt. our national debt is now the size of our economy. We begin to look a lot like Greece."
Though McConnell said he had had "a number of private conversations with both the president and the vice president," he was not enthusiastic about making progress in closing the budget gap and reaching bipartisan agreement, in part because he sees Obama as passive.
"This is the time to do important and difficult stuff. I agree with the Washington Post: Where's the president? Where's the leadership? We're prepared to do difficult things, but he must be a part of it, because we're not looking to make an issue here, we're looking to make a law, and that requires the signature of the president of the United States."
McConnell was referring to Ruth Marcus' March 4 Washington Post column, "Obama's 'Where's Waldo?' presidency," in which she labelled Obama "too often more reactive than inspirational, more cautious than forceful."
"I was hopeful that we would step up to the plate here, if you will, and use this divided government opportunity to do something big about our long-term problems. I don't have any more complaints about no conversations with him — I've had plenty of conversations with him — what I don't see now is any willingness to do anything that's difficult. This is the perfect time to do it."
Watch McConnell in the clip below, from Face the Nation, broadcast on CBS News on March 6, 2011.

When Margaret Thatcher died recently, it was shocking to realize that she became Great Britainĺs first female prime minister almost 34 years ago. Today, 17 nations, from Brazil and Bangladesh to Liberia and Lithuania, are led by women. South Korea swore in its first female president, Park Geun-hye, in February.
But in the United States, weĺre still waiting.
Thatĺs why Hillary Clintonĺs possible bid for the White House in 2016 is already stirring so much speculation. When she ran against Barack Obama in 2008, they were both aiming to become the first non-white male to run the country. But only one could succeed.
Now itĺs time for the other barrier to fall. Now itĺs time for a woman president, and not just on TV (Geena Davis played President Mackenzie Allen in the short-lived series ôCommander in Chiefö several years ago). Many of Clintonĺs close friends think she shares that sense of history and will try again.
ôI think she wants very much to see a woman president in her lifetime,ö one of her chief advisers, Harold Ickes, told the New York Times. ôIf you look at the landscape right now, thereĺs only one person who has a real shot at that.ö
While we strongly endorse the idea of a woman in the Oval Office, it doesnĺt have to be Hillary. Sheĺd be 69 when she moved in, and since weĺre both about that age right now, weĺre painfully aware of the flaws and frailties that come with longevity. More seriously, sheĺs lived a public life for many years, sheĺs served her country well, and she has a right to say no. But donĺt bet on it.
For one thing, Ickes is correct. No other woman seems ready to make a serious run. Among the Democrats, younger senators like Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota (52) and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York (46) have bright futures but low national profiles. The only Democratic woman holding a governorĺs chair, New Hampshireĺs Maggie Hassan, took office in January.
Republicans have more female bench strength, starting with Governors Nikki Haley of South Carolina and Susana Martinez of New Mexico. But the GOP is still suffering from Sarah Syndrome, a political malady caused when a youthful woman governor is pushed ahead before sheĺs ready.
Clinton would make a much better candidate the second time around. In 2008, she was still defined as Bill Clintonĺs wife. After four years as secretary of state, she has largely shed that baggage and emerged as a strong, independent figure in her own right. In a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, her favorability rating was 69 percent. Obama adviser David Plouffe, who helped engineer her defeat five years ago, recently called her ôby far the most interesting candidate and probably the strongest candidateö in the field.
In 2008, Clinton ran a top-down campaign while Obama ran one from the bottom up. Plouffe & Co. understood the primary system far better than Team Hillary and encouraged volunteers to organize themselves in every state. One example of the result: Obama clobbered Clinton in Idaho, winning 15 delegates to her 3. Hillary won Ohio by 9 points, but her marginal advantage in delegates was less than Obamaĺs in Idaho, 74 to 67.
The Clintonistas wonĺt make that same mistake again. A political action committee called Ready for Hillary is already organizing on the Obama model: raising money, creating social networks and gathering email addresses and phone numbers of potential supporters. The groupĺs communications director, Seth Bringman, boasted earlier this month that it ôhas been expanding its social media base at the rate of one new person every 14 seconds.ö ABC says Hillaryĺs Facebook fan club exceeds 100,000 and 55,000 follow her on Twitter. A Quinnipiac poll has her leading New Jersey Governor Chris Christie by 7 points and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida by twice that amount.
So is she a lock? Of course not. Clinton remains a highly polarizing figure who can organize opponents as well as supporters. After all, she did lose in 2008 and still has to prove she can connect on a personal level with the suburban swing voters who decide national elections.
But Maggie Thatcher was actually a latecomer. Sirimavo Bandaranaike first led Sri Lanka in 1960; Indira Gandhi became prime minister of India in 1966; Golda Meir took power in Israel three years later. Barack Obamaĺs daughters are growing up with a president who shares their color but not their gender. Itĺs time to make history. Again.

Driver in Rock crash charged
FALMOUTH, Trelawny - THE driver of the motor car which collided with a bus transporting tourists in the vicinity of Rock in Trelawny on Monday, has been charged with careless driving.
He is 22-year-old Tennison Jarrett of a Montego Bay, St James, address.
Jarrett is booked to appear in the Falmouth Resident Magistrate Court on Tuesday, June 19.
Twenty-five tourists were injured in the crash, which occurred at about 2:00 pm.
The visitors who were en route to Ocho Rios in St Ann from the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, were taken to the Falmouth Hospital Public Hospital where 22 of them were treated for minor injuries and released. The others were also treated for their injuries, but they were admitted for further observation.
Up to yesterday, the trio, who were later transferred to the Cornwall Regional Hospital, were reportedly still undergoing treatment at that medical facility.

So in 2013 I'm compensating for this past winter's loss with gloves so chic I'll want to wear them every day.

Prep Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 25 minutes
- 2 hard-boiled eggs
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar (superfine or regular)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
- 1 cup European-style butter (Plugra or Kerrygold), chilled
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sparkling or pearl sugar
Separate the egg whites from the yolks of the hard-boiled eggs and reserve for another use. Finely crumble the egg yolks into a large mixing bowl.
Separate the remaining two eggs, reserving the whites for the final cookie glaze. Beat the raw yolks into the hard-boiled egg yolks.
Vigorously whisk the sugar and the vanilla sugar into the combined yolks.
Stir the flour into the yolks to form a soft dough.
Cut the chilled butter into 1/2" cubes, then use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into dough, as you would for a pastry crust.
Wrap the dough in clingwrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375° and place an uninsulated baking sheet in your freezer to chill for 15 minutes. Pinch off walnut-sized pieces of dough and roll them into 6"-long "snakes." Fold the ends over one another into a wreath shape.
Place the wreaths on the baking sheet, then brush each one well with the egg white. Sprinkle generously with sparkling or pearl sugar.
Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden (watch closely to make sure they don't burn, as oven temperatures can vary).

The Spurs were mere seconds away from their fifth title last year after falling short against the Miami Heat last year in game seven of the NBA Finals.
(Moment of silence for Spurs fans....okay now let's move on)
via www.scmp.com
When you think of the San Antonio Spurs, the words "new, fresh, or change" are not the first descriptors that come to mind.
But the real secret of the team's continued success in regular and post season play is the ability to do just that...the intelligence and aptitude to acclimate to an evolving and ageing team of players and dynamic NBA league.
How do the Spurs do this?
The first key is to have a solid foundation.
This foundation includes both the team players and coach.
For the past 10 years, the Spurs trio of future hall of famers, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker, have played in 150 playoff games together, the most playoff games played together as an active trio in the NBA today.
Not to mention, the Spurs have the highest playoff winning percentage since Tim Duncan joined 16 years ago.
As far as coaching goes, Greg Popovich, another future hall of famer...is the longest tenured coach currently in the NBA.
via a.espncdn.com
How long you ask?
This is his 18th year....the next longest tenured coach has been going for five years.
This year's team is again first place in the Western Conference.
(Not surprising...although the majority of ESPN analysts never sees this coming somehow when doing preseason rankings for the last 18 years)
Key differences of this team than last?
Spurs fans know that the beginning of the team's long standing success used to be due to defense. The Spurs were the half-court, grind it out, defensive juggernauts of the NBA...however this has changed over the past five years with a faster paced offense with the emergence of Tony Parker leading the team and Tim Duncan taking more of a backseat role.
Thus far after three weeks of the season has passed by, this season's Spurs look to yet again change their winning formula again. This time the ultimate key looks to be balance.
This season the Spurs are ranked 2nd in defense and 8th in offense ratings.
The indisputable key to taking the Spurs to the next level is the development of the rising star Kawhi Leonard.
While the 22 year old, Leonard, has always been known to be a lock down defender since entering the league, he has gradually been asked to do more on the offensive end and has responded. He continues to be a threat to reach double digit figures in rebounds and points each game, along with contributing to a team high over one and a half steals a game.
With the gradual ageing of Ginobili and Duncan (both with 2 more years on their contracts), Leonard might be the Spurs' best second offensive weapon after the team's MVP candidate, Tony Parker.
Another help to the offense has been the addition of sharp shooter Marco Belinelli to play at shooting guard. This adds to the Spurs' shooting guard list of Danny Green and Manu Ginobili. All three could potentially be starters for respectable NBA teams.
Lastly, and I believe to be the most underrated key to the Spurs' success is the development of the Spurs' bigs.
In particular, I am referring to the play of Spurs' veteran center, Boris Diaw.
via basket-infos.com
He has been asked to step up his offense this year and to be more aggressive by Coach Pop. In response, he has nearly doubled his points per game thus far this season and is a major threat to opposing teams as he has great vision for passing and a very accurate three point shot.
The biggest threat this Spurs team brings to the table is a balanced attack.
A balance that Coach Pop has been teetering with for the last 18 years, and one that has earned him two coach of the year awards, the highest winning percentage in the NBA, and not to mention four NBA championships.

The Smith County Sheriff's Office is working with several organizations to publicize and prevent human trafficking that they say is taking place right here in East Texas.
On Wednesday, there will be an event dedicated to informing people on this growing problem, which, it seems, many have associated with a crime that takes place on foreign soil.
"I've worked in Bangkok, Thailand where there is a lot of human trafficking going on inside that country, so that is what I first thought about," said Sheriff Larry Smith. However, now having worked for the county, Sheriff Smith says his eyes have been opened to the growing problem right here in East Texas. "We're just now finding out that it has been going on for a long time. I believe it is growing because of the, I'll just go ahead and say it, the open borders we have," said Sheriff Smith.Tasha Meyer is the leader of Liberty Task Force, one of three organizations in Tyler dedicated to preventing human trafficking."We're actually mentoring a survivor right now that is from the Tyler/Longview area, and it's very real," Meyer said. "The healing process that God has done in her life in the last six months is night and day. You wouldn't even recognize her. So, it's amazing there's so much hope that can be done in the lives of survivors and we also believe in traffickers because like I said, they were probably once abused themselves and so, we need to hit the root of the problem with the traffickers as well as helping the survivors," Meyer explained.Their mission does not end there, as they dedicate their efforts to teaching East Texans how you can make a difference.
Tyler's Anti-Human Trafficking Day Rally is scheduled to take place in the Tyler downtown square at noon.
The hosts of this event, Liberty Task Force, For The Silent, and Refuge of Light hope to inform East Texans about the local impact human trafficking has, as well as the steps they have in place to make a difference.

Think about what this would do for our cap. Oh, the possibilities it would open up for us! Man, it is a slow day! I'm looking for any relevant hocky info to break the boredom up.

We've recently put a clients website into silverstripe and they are planning on sending a promotional email to just over 12000 customers, has anyone tried sending an email to a group this large using silverstripe before. And do you think silverstripe is capable of sending this many email?
Also we are limied to sending 400 emails an hour is there a built in method of doing this or would we need to custom build this?

I am using the newsletter module for a customer. We are sending out a couple of thousand mails per run, well below 5k in total. The module is still pretty beta I'd say ; it works, but sometimes it displays weird behavior when sending mails. Personally, I would not depend on it for large amounts of mail at this point but rather use something like OEMPro...
Just my 2 cents ; maybe a core-dev can say something about the current status and the future of the newsletter module.

+1 for not using it for large amount of subscribers.
There is also no batch feature for splitting the amount of emails up. I think this would be a very important feature and one I've wanted for a while.

I'm curious to hear from Silverstripe (the company) how they view the module in the "grand scheme of things" (moving towards an "application framework" and all) anyway. I don't know whether or not it is worth it to spend a lot of development on a newsletter module (and compete with the likes of OEMPro for example) ... This seems like a typical candidate-module to "spin off" to the community...
To be clear ; I'm just speculating and did not have contact with Silverstripe about this ....

Oh no. How will we go on?
Rather than link to the scorned toddler that is the Los Angeles Times, I'll link to the article in Inside UCLA which is written by Miguel Melendez. Melendez has done an outstanding job since coming on this fall to cover U.C.L.A. Football for The Daily News, and I'm very honestly sorry he got wrapped up in this. But the media is
taking a stand in a pissing contest against the college football teams in the city:
Mora on Wednesday also said open practice to the media will resume today, but local media outlets made a preemptive strike. In an effort to uphold their journalistic integrity, the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles News Group instituted their own policy to not have its reporters observe UCLA and USC practices and attend only post-practice interview availability with coaches and players.
I must admit that I almost snorted buggers out of my nose when I read that the LA Times was protecting its "journalistic integrity". This from the paper that employs TJ Slimers? Rich. Hey, guys...Roger Goddell is laughing at your disingenuousness.
With the restrictions on reporting specific events such as position changes and injuries already in practice, this really isn't going to have a significant effect on news coming from Spaulding. We will still have the post practice videos of Coach Mora for you here.
And this began because some folks from our Athletic Department couldn't handle their job.

The 2013 Free Agency Period opened and the Bucs were once again very much in the fray. We handed two time Pro-Bowl Safety Dashon Goldson a deal in exchange for his services in what was seen as the first step to fixing the Buccaneers' absolutely putrid secondary. Meanwhile, the Darelle Revis trade rumours began to resurface (after just mere banter in the early playoffs), with some reports even concluding that the trade would have gotten done before the Dashon Goldson signing. Since then, Goldson has long signed his fat contract, sat beside Schiano and Dom in a press conference and purchased some fine Floridian Real Estate [citation needed]. We have also seen every other suitor for Revis disappear faster than Manti Teo's girlfriend and all other serviceable starting CB's on the market get snapped up by other teams. Two weeks have passed, and it does not seem a trade is any closer today than it was when Free Agency opened.
Both sides seem stuck on their demands. The Jets want the Bucs' 2013 first round pick and further compensation and Bucs' GM Mark Dominik seems to be holding onto that pick for dear life. Both sides since then have resorted to smack talking in the media in the hope that the other caves. Here on BucsNation, the fanbase seems enraged that Revis is not here yet and no other Cornerbacks have been signed. Well I say, no fear, Revis will be a Buccaneer, it will only be a matter of time, and here's why:
The Jets need to trade Darelle Revis this offseason so that they can fully begin their rebuilding process.
Revis will be a Free Agent come 2014. From all indications, he will not resign with the Jets, nor can they franchise tag him. This means that if they keep Revis on for 2013, he will have most likely wasted away on a terrible team and then walked, with zero compensation. It is clear that the New York Jets are ready to compete... for next year's first overall pick. In all likelihood, the Jets will be absolutely awful next season, not even unleashing TIm Tebow could save that trainwreck. However, alot of teams could give them a run for their money, the Raiders have no serviceable players aside from Carson Palmer (and that in and of itself is saying alot), the big spending Browns could crash and burn hard like they have been doing for the past decade. The Chiefs will try to find success with Alex Smith (who was able to trick people into thinking he was a good Quarterback thanks to Jim Harbaugh and the spectacular 49ers Defence the past two years) and a washed up Andy Reid. The Jacksonville Jaguars are at least 3 seasons away from being any semblance of good. The Jets simply can't afford to have a player of Revis' calibre on their squad, with absolutely no-one around him. The Jets are already in locker room hell, and we could quickly see Revis pouring salt and vinegar down that wound if he has to stay on during the 2013 season.
A longer waiting period means that we will be better able to see how Revis' knee has rehabbed.
Another major reason why we should wait is because it allows us to see how Revis's knee is coming along. Revis of course went on IR in week 2 of this season for a torn ACL. Now I know, great players will find a way to be great no matter what, but for every Adrian Peterson there is a Deuce McAllister or Cadillac Williams, not every player is the same after such a massive injury. More time allows the Bucs to get a good look at Revis' rehab progression.
Neither side has any deadline to work with, the offseason just technically began only two weeks ago.
There is no sense of urgency from either side to get a deal done today, tommorow or even next week. Just because we, the fans, feel a sense of urgency and need, doesn't necessarily mean that those making the decisions are. They know that they can bide their time, building their strenghts, plotting the next move, with no pressure. The real trade deadline isn't until mid November, and the first real deadline would be the draft (after that our 13th overall pick comes off the table permanently, because by then it would have become Xavier Rhodes).
Each day we get closer and closer to the draft will bring the Jets closer and closer to the reality that we are not giving up the 13th pick.
Again, this just comes with waiting patiently. Idzik has to come to his senses soon, just give the man some time. Again, each passing second tilts the boat in our favour, as the 13th overall selection begins to fade in his eyes, again, both sides have to get this deal done, no matter how much they want to pretend they don't
The Bucs are the only suitors for Revis
Let's see here.. You have a player that you need to unload from your rebuilding roster so he doesn't poison your pool of youth? And what's that? That there's only one team interested in trading for him? And they think they actually have real leverage...
Thus, Bucsfans, all we have to do is wait. It's only March 20th, we have another 5 months till camp opens, which is more than enough time for us to send Rex Ryan some female Nike shoe models to tilt this trade in our favour. All joking aside though, the Jets have to realize that the only logical thing is for them to flip Revis now, while they can still get feasible compensation for him, because come next year he will be walking out the door for free.

Justin's Favorite Movies
The be-all-end-all crime movie, Confidential doesn't set out to solve the crime of the century. In fact, the story itself is quite straight forward. What sets it apart from the rest is the way in which it tells it: it knows exactly what it's doing, goes in, and does it with that old Hollywood charm. It's succinct, but compelling, and terrificly acted. My favourite movie of all time.
In its Oscar year, Shawshank Redemption was nominated for seven Academy Awards, and walked away with zero. Best Picture went to Forrest Gump, while Shawshank and Pulp Fiction were "just happy to be nominated." Of course hindsight is 20/20, but history looks back on Gump as a good film, while Pulp and Redemption are remembered as some of the all-time best. It currently sits at #2 in the IMDb's Top 250 Films, occasionally swapping spots with The Godfather as the top ranked film of all time. If you haven't seen it yet, what the hell are you waiting for. As Andy says, "It comes down a simple choice, really. Either get busy living, or get busy dying."

WWE Monday Night RAW from Tampa, FL || TV Review
- Cena is out to start, and for some reason he's pimping The Rock as if Rocky isn't a dude who spent all of 2011 into 2012 making him look like a bitch. Ziggler's out with his crew and Cena starts a wave after making fun of
somebody else
for making a "weiner" joke. Ziggler makes sense by saying that every time Cena loses he jokes around and hopes it all goes away. That's actually a really great point. Cena is such a sore loser that when it happens he just makes believe it didn't. That's one big reason why people don't like Cena. He's booked to act like nothing that ever happens matters. Therefore, when he
something matters, nobody believes him. He said that losing to The Rock would have been life crushing. The entire result of life crushing? He made a sad face while sitting on the ramp right after the match. The next night on RAW he came out and talked about how everybody loses sometimes, even the best, and he wanted to congratulate Rock for being the better man. WHAT? They built it up to be some big, life-changing, career-altering moment for Cena, then he responds by being a bit upset but keeping his chin up. They even spent the whole episode of RAW that night building up how important Cena said the win at 'Mania would be! That is why people are so sick of John Cena. His booking is so consistently inconsistently consistent (you read that right) that nothing that happens to him matters to him. Of course even though that's the case, it should still be a big deal when people beat him, but then NOBODY DOES.
John Cena v. Dolph Ziggler
This is happening because Big E isn't man enough to kick Cena's ass himself. It is odd, isn't it? Why wouldn't Big E challenge Cena? Match starts after the commercial and damn it if Cena doesn't have the best leapfrog in the business. Sometimes I'm afraid dude's going to hit his head on the big ass videotrons atop the arenas. Ziggler comes back with a sweet Stinger Splash and takes control. Back from commercial and Ziggler has the least effective-looking Cattle Mutilation ever on Cena. Rightfully, Cena pops right out and nails a side belly-to-belly suplex but Ziggler nails the shit out of him with a dropkick. AJ slaps Cena and gets herself and Big E thrown out. Cena begins the Five Moves but Ziggler reverses and gets the Fameasser for a very close near fall. THIS is how you start a fucking show! Cena gets a couple more of the Five Moves before Ziggler reverses into the Zig Zag for a close near fall. Superkick misses, Cena can't get the STF and Ziggler gets the jumping DDT. Ziggler flips out of the AA and gets the superkick! FUCK I thought that was it! Sleeper by Ziggler but #hardbodyref gets knocked out of the ring. Big E runs interference and lays Cena out but FUCKING CHAD PATTON takes way too damn long to make the count. Cena gets up and hits the Attitude Adjustment for the win out of nowhere. Fantastic match, COMPLETE UTTER SHIT finish.
Cena def. Ziggler, Attitude Adjustment - 17 min, ***1/2
So yeah, absolutely astoundingly good match to kick off 2013, but REALLY? Why did Cena win? That is a BIG, BIG problem. I would have preferred to see Ziggler win without interference, but in the end that part wouldn't be remembered, so Big E's involvement is largely negligible. Ziggler should have started 2013 by pinning Cena's shoulders to the mat 1-2-3. There's no ifs, ands or buts about it. Don't give me any crap about "it wasn't built up" or any nonsense like that, either. This is the first show of the new year. It's not some random RAW in mid-July. Have Ziggler pin Cena in WWE's first TV match of 2013? That is the kind of thing that can MAKE Ziggler. You build off of that and DZ could become a bonified main event STAR before the summer. Instead, Cena beats Ziggler, AJ and Big E and walks out of the arena smiling and kissing babies. That's just embarassing. I say all of this as a Cena fan, by the way. Dude has more talent in his little finger, as they say, than most pro wrestlers could band together and claim they have. It's not his fault. This isn't an anti-Cena rant. The booking is
and it needs to be fixed. The result of the first match of 2013 is why I KNOW that nothing is going to change this year. The also-rans will continue to be also-rans and the stale top guys will continue to be the stale top guys.
Divas Title: Eve Torres v. Kaitlyn
The ref tells Eve to wait so Kaitlyn can tie her shoes. Somebody teach this guy how to be a referee. What an idiot. Even dumber is Kaitlyn, who actually believed that Eve wouldn't kick her in the face if given an unprotected shot. She doesn't deserve to be a champion if she's dense enough to fall for that. This has been going on for 4 MONTHS!?!? Oh my god. My wife wants to jump through the screen and firebomb everything to make this feud end. How is she even continuing to get title shots? I hope Madusa shows up on RAW next week and throws the Divas Title in the trash.
Kaitlyn def. Eve, count-out - 4 min *1/2
Non-Title: Team Hell No v. Rhodes Scholars
I missed the beginning. First thing I saw was Bryan getting the flying knee off the apron. He backflips off of the top rope and hurts his knee, so Sandow takes advantage. Moments later, Cody hits the Crossrhodes for the pin on The Dazzler. Title change at the Rumble coming?
Rhodes & Sandow def. Bryan & Kane, Crossrhodes
Randy Orton v. Heath Slater
Apparently Orton said that Slater would be playing the harp instead of air guitar when he's done with him. I assume that means he promised to kill Slater, but it's not all bad since Orton thinks he'll be going to heaven, and as an angel to boot! Ya know, 3MB is definitely over as a group, but they're over when they're out there against other lower-card acts. Put Slater in there with Orton and the crowd doesn't give a shit because nobody buys that Orton can lose. They want to see 3MB losing to Santino & Ryder or Kidd & Gabriel (great match on Main Event a couple weeks back), but they don't care here. Crowd pops for the RKO. That gets the win. The other schlubs take RKOs as well. Humongous waste of time.
Orton def. Slater, RKO - 5 min, *
Non-Title: Wade Barrett v. Santino Marella
Santino is with Ricky Steamboat for no good reason. Not that there's ever a bad reason for a Steamer appearance. Holy crap what a savate kick by Santino! Barrett runs away from the Cobra and bails from the ring. He comes back in and nails the Bull Hammer for the win. Cole calls it a "big win". Barrett wants another but Steamboat cuts him off.
Barrett def. Santino, Bull Hammer - 2 min, NR
Non-Title: Antonio Cesaro v. Great Khali
This RAW has been going very steadily downhill since the first match ended. Miz is on commentary here. I guess they're feuding. I actually thought Miz and Cesaro were entertaining as hell on commentary together a couple weeks ago during the battle royal that Khali won. Cesaro hits the Neutralizer, which is impressive as hell.
Cesaro def. Khali, Neutralizer - 3 min, NR
- Brad Maddox doesn't take no for an answer this week when Heyman tells him to go the fuck away, so he offers to be the ref for the TLC match tonight. Heyman tells him to eat a bag of dicks.
Sheamus v. Jinder Mahal
WHO THE FUCK CARES? I like 3MB a lot, but why the hell are they on the show for a fourth time now? Sheamus kicks him in the leg like an asshole. That wasn't cool. Jinder puts his finger in Sheamus' ass, so Sheamus slaps him. What the hell is going on here? McIntyre gets involved so Sheamus pounds his chest. That pisses off 3MB so they kick his ass outside of the ring. Mahal gets kind of a one-count inside the ring. Slater and McIntyre are interfering like crazy and the ref isn't doing a damn thing about it. White Noise by Sheamus and King notes that Sheamus "hit that on Big Show once". Come on, King. How fucking bad are you at your job? Not only is that completely irrelevant, but he did it like 10 times. Brogue Kick ends it.
Sheamus def. Jinder Mahal, Brogue Kick - 5 min, *1/2
- TLC match is next, which is an interesting choice. I guess Rock HAS to close the show. Wouldn't it have been 100 times smarter to have him open the show? That way people wouldn't have tuned out when they heard Cena say "weiner" 50 times. Use Rock opening the show to get peoples' eyes on RAW, then set up for him to return later on in the night. That way, people are far more likely to sit and wait to see when Rock's showing up to pay off the opening segment.
WWE Title, TLC Match: CM Punk v. Ryback
Tampa starts the Goldberg chants immediately. I have to be honest, I'm really not sure why that's still happening. Dude's been booked pretty well. Ryback misses a chairshot outside and Punk kicks him in the head and shows him how a chair is used. Punk puts a ladder in the ring but Ryback cuts him off. Crowd wants tables. Ryback asks the crowd if they want Punk to get suplexed on the chair or the ladder. They don't really choose, so he holds Punk in the air for a while, spins around and drops him HARD on the ladder. Good lord. Back outside Ryback trys to kill Punk with the steps but misses. Punk uses them to vault up and knees the fuck out of his face. He uses a chair to hold the advantage as we take a break. So far this match is awesome and is easily making up for the rest of the shitty show.
We return with Ryback hitting an electric chair drop. Punk throws a chair at Ryback to stop him from using a table, so Ryback responds by throwing Punk over the announce table. Punk attacks the legs with a chair inside the ring, which he's been doing all match. He tries to Pillmanize Ryback's ankle but the big man moves and starts his comeback. Meathook clothesline looks to lead to Shellshocked, but Punk gets out of dodge and then dodges a Ryback charge. Ryback goes through a table. Ryback recovers quick and starts to climb, but Punk pushes him off. He lands on his feet and gorilla press slams Punk UGLY on the ladder. He throws Punk through a table on the outside and climbs, but the lights go out! It's The Shield! He fights them off but they come back and put him through a table set up on top of the ring steps. Ouch. Punk makes the dramatic climb with THE BEST facial expression ever and grabs the belt to keep what is rightfully his. Really, really good match. They NEED to pay off this Shield angle, though. Why did they interfere this week?
CM Punk def. Ryback - 19 min, ***1/2
- One of the interviewer goons wants to say hi to Punk. Punk tells him to suck on a sack of assholes because he's on his way out to the ring to drop another pipe bomb. FUCK YES! Let the mic wars begin!
- Kane and Bryan argue backstage and Vickie interrupts to let them know that next week, DOCTOR SHELBY IS BACK! YES! YES! YES!
Non-Title: Big Show v. Kofi Kingston
Kofi jumps Big Show to start and backs him to the corner. The ref tries to break it up and Show punches Kofi in the face. That was quick. The crowd seems annoyed by that, actually.
Big Show def. Kofi Kingston, KO Punch - 30 sec, NR
- Punk is here to correct us about the true meaning of a pipebomb. A pipebomb is the truth. Apparently the whole "voice of the voiceless" deal was Punk just giving us what we want. Punk shits all over the crowd, then says "Tampa" and they pop. Suddenly I'm glad I'm not there. This is really good... it's pretty much an overly heelish heavy-handed version of the original pipebomb speech from Vegas. It's almost a watered down version of the speech he made when he won the ROH Title back in 2005 and immediately turned heel. They cut Punk off with a commercial, and back from break he tells us that he will continue to be champ, pretty much forever. IN YOUR FACE, JERKS.
- Finally, at 11pm, The Rock finally shows up. Who THE FUCK made that booking decision? He should have been the FIRST thing on the show this week. He calls Punk delusional and then says the word scrotum. You're better than that, Rock. This ain't Cena you're toying with. Cole does his grating laugh when Rock talks about shoving ice cream up Punk's ass. TURN OFF THAT ASSHOLE'S MICROPHONE. Good lord Cole and King are the worst fucking commentary team of all time.
- Why didn't Punk cut Rock off? FINALLY, THE ROCK, HAS COME BACK --- perfect opportunity. Rock tells Punk he doesn't matter. Punk says he matters. Rock cuts him off "IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU MATTER!" Okay, that's awesome. Punk: "Every time you grace us with your presence, I'm gonna kick your ass." That's more awesome.
- Great, great way to close RAW.
Overall RAW Thoughts
This is pretty much the definition of a polarizing show. Cena started off the New Year saying "weiner" a bunch of times, but had a really great match with Ziggler right afterward. The result was one thousand percent wrong, as stated in the rant above, but still a fantastic match. After that it was a shitstorm. I mean, look above: Orton v. Slater followed by Barrett v. Santino followed by Cesaro v. Khali followed by Sheamus v. Mahal. That is SO BAD. Thankfully they followed it with a really great WWE Title match, a great backstage promo by Punk to set up the main event promo, the announcement of the return of DR. SHELBY (!!) and an absolutely special promo segment in the ring with Rock and Punk. Immensely frustrating booking of Cena and Ziggler aside, this would have been one of the best RAW episodes of all time if they just cut out one hour. HMMM....
- According to The Rock, WWE has an incredible 4 months of storylines planned that lead up to his match at WrestleMania, and the match is already set. So do we believe The Rock or the 40 different reports all over the 'net saying that last week they knew what they wanted, yesterday they didn't, today they did until Vince ate some bad kous kous and completely changed his mind and so on and so forth? I think I'm going with Rock on this one. It's nice to be back on his side.
- Apparently the reason we haven't been seeing Curt Hawkins on TV is because he's injured. Yeah, THAT'S the reason.
- The story now is that because of the amount of TV WWE has every week (5.5 hours), the annual post-WrestleMania cuts may not occur at all. Honestly, outside of Ted DiBiase, who seems to only show up to get thrown out of battle royals, and Trent Baretta/Johnny Curtis, who have been NXT stalwarts, everybody on WWE.com's roster page who isn't injured is on TV regularly. Whether or not they're used well is another story.
- Ring of Honor has begun their Top Prospect tournament with the following participants, which will start airing this weekend on TV. ACH, Adam Page, Antonio Thomas, Mike Sydal, QT Marshall, Silas Young, Matt Taven and Tadarius Thomas. The most notable entrant to the majority of people reading this column is likely Antonio Thomas, who you likely know as one half of the short-lived WWE tag team The Heart Throbs. I've most recently seen him in CHIKARA teaming with Romeo Roselli in a reprisal of the Heart Throbs role, but I honestly had no idea that he was a legitimate singles dude on the indys. Color me interested. I'm also a bit annoyed that they can't come up with a better way to use Silas Young. Dude is likely not going to make it far in this tournament and I doubt he will end up sticking around in ROH. I don't know why none of the bigger indy promotions have done anything with Young. He pops up a lot, but never for anything truly significant.
A Top Prospect for Ring of Honor. Who knew?
- Want to buy a Ring of Honor title belt? Got a
couple thousand
- Bray Wyatt seems to be fully healed from his injuries. How long until he gets called up to the main roster? Do you think it will ever be acknowledged in WWE that he and Bo Dallas are brothers?
- According to Sean Waltman, Scott Hall is getting ready to begin doing DDP Yoga. Is there anybody NOT doing DDP Yoga these days? I've never checked out what it is, but it seems like it's a miracle regimen. Imagine if DDP could significantly alter the lives of both Jake Roberts AND Scott Hall. The man would be a legend.
- Zack Ryder said on episode 99 of Z! True Long Island Story that he wants to kill the show before WWE fucks it up worse. The episode was taken down, edited and reposted without that segment. I get that dude is pissed, but if he wants to do something about it, doing it on Youtube isn't going to get the job done this time. He should have done something on the Slammy episode of RAW instead of the stupid shit he was forced to do.

Hiroshi Tanahashi v. Giant Bernard || NJPW G1 Climax Tournament - August 15, 2008
From David Arthur:
"Hiroshi Tanahashi and Giant Bernard (known to WWE fans currently as Tensai, and formerly as Prince Albert, Albert, and A-Train), face off here in a match during the 2008 G1-Climax Tournament. A good David vs. Goliath style match. Sadly I've never found the large, bald, tattooed fellow of many aliases to be particularly exciting, or interesting, to watch. But it takes 'two to tango,' (says Satchmo), and Tanahashi turned out to be an excellent dance partner. Putting someone in a match with the right opponent can make all the difference in match's quality. I myself possess no such rhythm, so I don't dance. Take that however you wish."

Hey Frank,
Your portfolio has no fashion in it. Nor does it suggest an attempt at fashion. beyond that you are in Nebraska... yeah... Let me suggest you find a photographer that has stronger work and might be open to a trade arrangement.
Just a thought YMMV

Jim, I was directed to you from an earlier post regarding the headlight dimmer resistor in the 4-position switch for my '48 Farmall Cub. The nichrome(?) wire broke and needs to be replaced. Can I use a simple axial leaded resistor from Radio Shack? What resistance and wattage? Do you have a part number and supplier for the real replacement part?
Thanks for your help.
Did I tell this fellow right??
The field resistor is Delco 1878070, 2.8 ohms and needs to be able to handle
something around 12-15 watts. The dimmer coil, Delco 814545, is 5 ohms,
probably needs to handle more wattage than the other.
If you contact firstname.lastname@example.com
He has the original resistors for the head light switch, also can help you
out on other wiring information.

Aloha, Blue Jackets fans. I'm taking a Super-Fun-Hockey-Road-Trip over the holidays, with a stop in the Columbus area. I plan to attend the Columbus-Calgary game on December 27th, and since you guys and gals are presumably the experts, I'm here in search of any advice you might have on visiting the arena and/or buying tickets.
Are there any seats that I should avoid or that have significant drawbacks?
Is there a good place to pre-game?
I'll be just hanging around in Columbus for most of the day: is there anything particularly interesting for me to do in Columbus while I'm there?
Can I buy student rush tickets with my out-of-state student ID?
Obviously Columbus hasn't been doing too well lately, but are they managing to put forth some decent efforts, at least? i.e. How are they looking to you these days, despite their record?
Etcetera, etcetera.
Thanks in advance for your help!

'What a load of rubbish': Bin collections in the county set to become fortnightly
Updated 12:53pm Friday 7th March 2014 in News By Lydia Johnson
WEALTHY councillors proposing fortnightly rubbish collections across the county do not realise what the change will mean in the "real world".
That is the belief of John Newman, a former councillor who lives on Hereford's Newton Farm estate, one of the most densely populated areas of the county.
Herefordshire Council could sign off fortnightly collections as soon as this month with a start date for the new timetable beginning in November.
But Mr Newman, a Hereford City and Herefordshire councillor for 30 years, fears rubbish dumping and related vermin infestation will rise within weeks of the new rounds starting.
"It's all right for them, living in their posh houses out in the sticks but Newton Farm, and other areas like this, are congested," he said.
"All you are going to see once the collections become fortnightly is rubbish being dumped all over the place and an increase in rats and other vermin – I think it's awful and it will cause major problems for big families.
"At the moment people are putting out maybe two bags each week, over two weeks these two become four or five and that's when the problems begin."
Richard Johnston, the chairman of the Newton Farm Community Association, said if collections become fortnightly a better alternative to black bags must be offered.
"Black bags aren't good enough – they will be ripped open by animals and this will lead to an infestation of rats and bacteria," he added.
"The council will need to put money into supplying large, secure bins that can hold all the bags."
Currently, black bags containing household waste are collected every week in the county while recycling is collected every two weeks.
The new service, provided for in the council's 2014- 15 budget plan, would see both recycling and household waste collected every two weeks.
In a statement, the council defended fortnightly collections as part of its cuts plan, saying a majority of councils in England have adopted alternate weekly collections.
Responding to questions for an alternative to black bags, Kerry Thomson, a council press officer, added: "We are keen to promote waste minimisation and consequently provide a subsidised home composter scheme which is very popular.
"A lot of food waste can be put into home composters which means useful garden compost is produced and there is no need for more refuse vehicles to pick up this material to take it to a processing plant along with the associated costs.
"Consequently, we have no plans at the present time to bring in a food waste collection service in Herefordshire."

More chance that the standard of health & safety will go down too
But it's progress!!!!! ;-)
All because the council wants to save in one area (rubbish collection) and spend in another area (you choose, but I bet there pay rise is safe)

I can see it's to save the coucil money - fair enough, the wonderful Government have cut funding to everything to try and get the country out of the financial mess it has been in. So why don't the council cut some of the top jobs? The silly posts that have wages in the £40k per year and over range? Redistribute the workload among the other staff, give them a small pay rise, and save some cash.
Trim the tree from the top branches, not the roots......

Close by to where I live are is a lovely family and they have 4 young children, their green bin is full every 2 weeks and have at least 4/5 black bags a week, so what is going to happen to their extra bin bags? as neither of them have a car, so going of to the tip to dispose isn't an option for them!
There are a lot of young family in my area so I cant see this being an isolated incident!
Saving £500k will in fact in practice end up being a few thousand pounds after all the extra cleaning up that will be needed!
I wonder how many councillors are going to be effected by this.....let me tell you.....NONE!

I'll tell you now, not one single black sack full of my bloody rubbish will ever get split, ripped, gnarled at or bust by any species of the animal kingdom. Not while I've got the wind in my sails.
Never! I'll be damned if I wake up every bloody morning to sweep up egg shell, my Grandaughters nappies and the leftovers of my mixed kebab. Never!
And this is what Im going to do. Whatever species decided to walk, crawl, slide or fly toward my bloody rubbish is getting dispatched to meet its bloody maker. If I have to sit outside my house for a bloody fortnight watching these black plastic refuse sacks I'll do it. I'll be damned if this Council beats me.
This here is a home for good folk. Folk who diligently recycle their rubbish, pay their Council tax and say their Lords Prayer and I'll be damned if this latest twist of the knife is going to unsettle me and my way of life.
And when the bloody Council wildlife Officer decides to tippy toe up my path and collect the corpses of these beautiful creatures that I've clubbed to death because they were trying to feast upon the stuff we didn't want to bloody eat, I'll tell him to, 'Clear Off and if you try to chew through my plastic I'll club you as we'll. Be gone. Go bother someone else. Im watching my bloody bags'.
Bloody Council! In fact, if they choose now to penalise me and only visit me once a bloody month, I'll start fly tipping in Johnson's back bloody garden.
He won't like that. Who would? I know what I'd say if I woke up and found a pile of someone else's rubbish strewn all over my bloody herbaceous borders. I'd shout, 'call the Constable I want some habeus corpus'!

I do not agree with fortnightly collections, but if everyone who has a garden used a composter and everyone only bought the food they need and did not throw so much out then a lot of the potential problems would be reduced.
This is a disgraceful proposal. Unless Herefordshire council are going to provide me with a secure and vermin proof alternative to black bags they WILL continue to collect my rubbish weekly and quite frankly I do not care if I have to put my rubbish in the middle of the street to achieve this.

Only last month, my family and I hid behind the sofa to avoid paying the milkman so that we could purchase a small chicken. After we'd cooked this bird, stripped it of all its meat and crispy flesh, we placed the stinking carcus into the aforementioned black plastic sack and the following morning I raced downstairs to find that the bag had been ripped and the carcus was strewn all over my drive.
The facts in this case speak for themselves. Some creature or human, driven by hunger or an odd urge to find out what we were throwing away, got into my bag and pulled the carcus out, thus causing me to sweep up the mess.
I respectfully refer you back to my original post and repeat that I ain't putting up with this any longer. When I put a black sack out, it stays out and that's my view on this subject.

Would you like to see the street where you live liberally sprinkled with black and green wheelie bins??
They are an incredibly ugly site!!
I absolutely appreciate the need to save money. Let's see you stop wasting it first.
There are three news stories this week, concerning the huge sums of cash that the council have, and continue to throw, at Hereford Futures.
If you stemmed the flow of cash to companies like this, there may be a little more left in the kitty.
I would accept fortnightly bin collections without so much as a murmur, if I thought the money saved would be spent on adult social care, or childrens services (you remember childrens services don't you, very bad OFSTED report, failed in every area) however, its a bitter pill to swallow for many, when we know that such obscene amounts of money are still being frittered away.
Sort it out !!

Councillor Patricia Morgan says...
Assuming this decision is made you will be provided with a black wheelie bin for non recyclables. Compost bins are the best method of disposal for food waste but this is not always practical. The black wheelie bin should stop the problems that you mention. I hope this is helpful.

silentbull2 says...
And you're thinking of giving us a black one to go by the side of the green one we should already got?
And also you're expecting people to have room to put them somewhere?? And to have the strength to wheel them??
And how much are theses wheelie bins costing??
The world's gone mad!!!

As for this issue, can you please explain how we can afford to purchase these wheeled bins, given that we are fiscally knackered and its likely we are going to remain skint for some considerable time to come?

TwoWheels, I have composted a badger, ducks and many chicken carcasses before.
Whilst I agree with you that food waste can attract rodents and creates a proper 'pen and ink' this should be seen as a boon not a problem.
I use an air rifle fitted with a day scope and a night vision adaptor using hollow point pellets for this purpose.
One can end up after an hour or two with several of these rodents to skewer and roast on a fire.
Lovely with a nice barbecue sauce or minty marinade.

Councillor Patricia Morgan wrote:I don't recycle, never have, I don't see the point. I can stuff my rubbish in one black bag a week, sometimes It can take me two weeks to fill a bag.
This article raises some good points and possibly some unfounded fears and some miss information. In 2009 when the wheelie bins were introduced there was also concern and recycling rates were just under 30% - rates are now over 40% and the service is universally praised. Assuming the decision is made to change rubbish collection, black wheelie bins (for non-recyclable waste) and alternate week collection will be introduced. Based on the many other (67%) authorities who have alternate week collections the recycling is likely to rise to 45%. This will have both financial and environmental benefits. Specific local concerns can and will be addressed as per the introduction of green wheelie bins in 2009.
I would also like to know where do you think some people have the room for another Wheeled bin, are we going to end up like other cities where bins are lined up on the street?
I refused to have a green bin, I even had a letter shoved though my door saying that I could have a green bin, even though I have steps and the person who stuck the leaflet in my letter box would have known that since she would have walked down them. It was a she,
I am pretty sure the council have not thought this through, if you are picking up peoples rubbish once a fortnight, then surly that means you are still picking up the same amount of rubbish, so you will still need the same amount of vehicles.
the problem is the council just see one side, oh lets save some money and and still hype up the council tax, then we can hype up our wages and expenses as well.
Typical politicians and that is why, when they come to my door asking for my vote, i will tell them where to go.
Not worth voting for.

I think this idea is absolutely gross! A week's worth of garbage for a family can fit in a bin, but 2 weeks? OMG! It will be all over! And smelly? Wow, you would be able to smell the town from a mile away. You will have to give everyone another bin, no question about it. Your idea about everyone composting is ludicrous and I would have been embarrassed to put that quote in my article.

In some places people expect to throw out anything and everything, any time, any amount and so long as it out of their house/car/garden that's fine. Someone else should come and get it (might be the council, might be someone who can't stand th mess).
Oddly similar in choices about treating old people a treasured resource that's respected by society or an expensive nuisance hide away and expect Someone to "look after".
We need to change, there is not enough money, there is not enough recycling, there is too much waste. Everyone is a member of society and has a responsibility. No need to produce so much waste many easy things to do to cut down, and save some money while we are at it.
In some areas wheelie bins will be fine, in others perhaps we could put in the large wheeled bins at places in the street which you see in so many cities. Responsible citizens routinely take the black bags to those, no rats, safe from marauding bears and Bobby47, and society sets rules to work within (no bags left out to be torn up). Probably stop short of Brussels where you get a bug fine if your waste is out even a few hours too early...

Thanks to this lot nobody wants to visit our city anymore anyway because our hospitality is appalling - we can't even provide them with toilets to use.
Thanks to this lots mis-management our roads are in a shocking state and please don't tell me this is down to the recent poor weather because they have been getting worse for several years now.
Now they want to pollute our streets with uncollected trash and populate our estates with rats and other vermin.

Bench Press: 100 x 3
Bicep Curl: 60 x 3 (30 in each hand)
Deltoid Flys: 40 x 3 (20 in each hand)
Assisted Lateral Pullups 80 x 3 (have to put the machine on 80 to assist me)

Assisted Dips 80 x 3
Squats: 85 x 3
Leg Lifts: 140 x 3

Thanks for the evaluation, go easy on me!!!

yeah you are not that strong, but who cares, just keep lifting and eatting right and you'll be stronger in no time. Don't worry about it. Everyone starts some place. No one started off benching 200 pounds.
Time and dedication are key elements to getting stronger. It's gonna take a lot of both. What's your age, height, weight, etc. Depending on your size, those are good starting #'s.
Age: 19 / Height: 6'1 / Status: Bulking
they're low, but who cares? Give it a couple of months and I bet you can add 50% to all of them.
Pretty low all-around, honestly. The fact that you listed so many machines/iso exercises is probably part of the problem. If you're that weak, you don't those exercises right now. You need to be focusing on compounds, and compounds alone: full body three times a week.
I am about as weak as the original poster. It embarrass me a bit because in appearence I look "big" compared to a normal person but I think I am just tall and broad without much muscle substance.
On March 1st I started lifting with a friend and could barely rep the bar 12x on the bench. Also, at 185 lbs I needed 140 lbs of assistance for pull-ups and dips. Now I rep 115 on the bench and only need 25~35 lbs of assistance for dips and pull-ups just four months later.
Instead of worrying about what you can lift now, my advice to you is to save your post and look at it in four months and see how you've progressed. If you make great gains it will give you more inspiration to keep up the good work and keep improving. If you don't see any improvement it will send a message to you to get off you arse and work harder.
How did you go from benching 45 lbs to 115 in just 4 months? I've been at weight training for a few years, and have not seen those strength results, although I have seen size gains..
I don't deadlift, thats a subject for another thread...
age: 22 .... height: 5'8 .... weight: 175
My Journal
When I started I was 290lbs, 30% bf and only benching 90 pounds for 5 reps. Two years later, I'm 240 23% and benching 270 for my max.. Just need to eat right, keep your mind on the work ahead of you, and be dedicated..
EDIT: Deadlift has been a great contribution to where my strength is at right now.. Help build my grip and forearms =).. Not to mention it's a great compound workout. Hits your core, helps your stand up strait and it even helped build my biceps to where they are toady =) .

I wouldn't worry if I were you. You are around where a lot of kids start out as far as maxes. Your numbers will shoot up soon don't worry about it, just keep working hard.
So let me get this straight, you are saying I should just do compound movements, low reps for strength training, and do my entire upper body in one day instead of breaking into shoulder/arms and chest/back ?
Mmmmm Fat!
How to do cardio if you MUST!

Higher reps than 3 though. Almost anything will work at first as long as you are consistent.
Out of the night that covers me,Black as the Pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul. In The fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate how charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

Average is relative...
My current big 3 would look lie this
335 bench
495 deadlift
400 ish (havent maxed in a few months) squat
Thats all relative, neither good nor bad. And I've just started back after a few month hiatus.
I went from benching 205x4 to 315x1 in about 7 months or so... probably a bit less.
Its all about YOU. Lift heavy, eat like a horse and focus yourself on you and your lifts.
Stop the isolations lifts, do heavy compounds and don't do any direct bicep work.
just toss some heavy weight around, eat food, and keep at it. in all honesty, you could jerk off and put 20 pounds on your bench at this point.
your biceps seem disproportionately strong compared to your squat number.
gym lifts: squat: 341lbs, deadlift: 374lbs, bench: 275lbs

bicep curls 60 x 8, 60 x 6

lunch: whole wheat pasta + shrimp + celery
snack: turkey sandwich + 2 bottled yogurts
dinner: protein shake again

I'm assuming compound movements are bench press, squats, and deadlift.. are dips a compound movement? how about incline bench press? dumbell shoulder press? lateral pull ups? What makes something compound? Can I get a list of them?
Last edited by Eric Cartman; 07-05-2007 at 07:50 PM.
Yes they are. Compound = working multiple muscle groups simultaneously.
Heavy Rows. Use common sense. A curl would not be a compound lift since it works bicep. A lat pulldown would because it hits lats/biceps etc.

Dude 10 months ago I was weaker than you. I probably totaled like 250 in the big 3 (or less). Recently I just hit 300 on deads, 225 on squat, and can probably bench 185 (I do 65 DB 5x5 on an incline... whats the conversion?). In the next 6 months im going to total 1000. Right now im at about 710. Take it slow my friend.
yeah man just work hard, i started lifting in grade 9 or 10 and i could only bench like 80 lbs. I just graduated now and i can bench 300x1. You just gotta work hard and eat right and you'll get there.

Well that is what many states are now having people on public assistance begin to do:
As more Americans turn to government programs for refuge from a merciless economy, a growing number are encountering a new price of admission to the social safety net: a urine sample.
Policy makers in three dozen states this year proposed drug testing for people receiving benefits like welfare, unemployment assistance, job training, food stamps and public housing.
Such laws, which proponents say ensure that tax dollars are not being misused and critics say reinforce stereotypes about the poor, have passed in states including Arizona, Indiana and Missouri.In Florida, people receiving cash assistance through welfare have had to pay for their own drug tests since July, and enrollment has shrunk to its lowest levels since the start of the recession.
The law, the most far-reaching in the nation, provoked a lawsuit last month from the American Civil Liberties Union, arguing that the requirement represents an unreasonable search and seizure. [NY Times]
The way I look at is that being in the military I am paid by the government and thus I subject to random drug tests, which I have no issues with since I don't use drugs. If people in the military have to take a drug test to get paid then why shouldn't someone on public assistance not have to take a drug test as well? If you are not taking drugs then that person shouldn't have any problem taking the test.
