For as long as people have been moving weights the idea of size and strength has found its origins at the biceps...
When educating my clients about this muscle I will always put it into perspective. Believe it or not the bicep is actually made up of two heads, hence the "bi", one being the biceps brachii inner head and biceps brachii outer head. A third head can also be included in this called the "brachialis", this is located between the outer biceps brachii and the triceps. Another fact which comes as a surprise to most is that the biceps are actually half the size of its adjoining muscle, the triceps, so why so much attention is given to them is only a mystery.
The biceps are a pleasure to train, and when trained correctly will respond with eye catching results within a very short amount of time. Number one rule when training this muscle group is "isolation". Far too often you will see people attempting to train their "guns" without actually realising they are recruiting many other surrounding muscles like the forearms, triceps, deltoids and even their lats!
One of my biggest annoyances when walking into gyms or meeting up with old clients, is their failure to stick to the main principles. I'll say it out strait ok; never ever use barbells or ezy bars when training the biceps. The reason for this is that you may be favouring the more dominant side of your body without you even realising. How do I know this? Unfortunately, I talk from personal experience. When I started weight training at the age of 15, I fell into the same trap thousands have before me and concentrated on your meat & potato exercises. Barbell curls, flat bench press, barbell shoulder presses and so on… Over the period of approx 6 months I had experienced some great gains, the complements and improvements in my sporting performance really motivated me to kick on to take weight training far more serious. Little did I know that I was creating a physique which was unbalanced strength wise and more disturbingly SIZE wise! No matter whom you are or what you did when you were a growing child, your brain will always favour one side of your body and automatically select that side for receiving electronic impulses (movement) while doing such things as lifting and pulling. As a result, most people are built with a dominant side to their bodies. Usually it's not noticeable , though when weight lifting and resistance training come into play its importance is highlighted and needs to be treated with respect.
For my biceps training, I was using a barbell and reasonably heavy weights to get my results. Without me even realising my right arm was doing the majority of work. It was only when I experimented with the use of dumbbells that I saw the dramatic size and strength differences between my left and right arms! My point here is, that you've got two biceps not one, so it makes a lot more sense to use two dumbbells rather that one barbell to experience higher quality results. I made the mistake and it cost me 3 years of training to render my error! So trust me, you don't want to make the same mistake!
Just like a wealthy property developer, anybody who has found success in a particular trade have all put into place one revolutionary action that separated them from the pretenders. Training the biceps is no exception. Fortunately I have always been complimented with well developed guns and good separation from surrounding muscles. I've always found that there are two key factors in getting those much desired results.
The first would be the angle of your wrist at the beginning and end of any curling movement.Three commonly used angles when curling would be:
When curling, we have all seen and some would have even done it before, but swinging your back and looking like you're dancing in a 70's disco flick is defiantly a dangerous no no! So the second key factor would be using the correct weight and the position of your elbow. Isolation is the key here. So when performing a simple dumbbell curl, literally the only movement necessary is that of the angle of your elbow moving from 180 to 90 degrees. The most effective way to complete this is to create a solid foundation for your lift.

[quote=Filip]Ok that was wrong, somehow it got screwed up when i "quoted it" i was meaning to say that how come you say
"never ever use barbells or ezy bars when training the "
And then the third excercize you use a barbell?[/quote]
Hi Filip,
What I am referring to is to NOT use a barbell for isolation exercies, for tempo/contraction it is fine because often the muscle is already pre-fatigued.
hey, is it more beneficial to work out my biceps two or three times a week??
thanks alot
I want to start off by saying i visit your website everyday, learning more and more about the correct way to do things, but I do have one question I would like someone who \"knows\" to answer. When going to the gym should you focus on one muscle group a day? For example just biceps, or can I do chest and biceps on the same day? Thanks!
Hi there rueben, i\'ve got a question for you.
When doing this \"giant set\", (correct me if im wrong). Is it reasonable to replace a normal 2-3 sets biceps excercise in a routine where you do not have any giant sets? And just use the peak seeker instead?
And for how many weeks should you do this? Because changing excercises from what i\'ve heard is rather important. But heck what do i know!
Anyways thx for this awesome site!

Hi Filip,
First thing you must understand is that the bicep muscle is a very small muscle compared to other muscle groups like the back, legs, delts and legs. This means it does not require as much volume as those muscle groups so set after set of the 6 different exercises is really doing the same thing over and over.
You can do the peak seeker as your entire bicep workout, in fact that\'s what I recommend you do. Try and do 6 sets of that workout once or twice a week for 6 weeks and see your results.
Remember to track your progress from start to finish.
Thanks, talk soon.
hey so im a lil confused. do u do the workouts in the video one after the other without rest? and after completing all 3 would that be considered one set?
witch is a better bicep excercise the hammer curl or a regular curl?
Try and do 6 sets of that workout once or twice a week for 6 weeks and see your results.
to build big biceps would u do less weight and more reps, or heavy weight and low reps?
dude how to get increase bicep muscle mass

UPDATE 5/6/14 @ 11 p.m.
GREENUP COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) – More information has been released on a kidnapping, that has now claimed the life of an 18-year-old man.
The incident began Sunday evening when investigators say a man and a woman were in a car together traveling from Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.
At some point during the drive, the man pulled out a gun and threatened to kill the woman, according to investigators.
Troopers say the pair ended up at the intersection of Kentucky State Route 1 and W. Hollow Road in Greenup County, which is
more than an hour away from Mt. Sterling.
According to investigators, the woman pretended to miss a turn. That's when she slowed down, got out of the car and started running. She then heard two gunshots as she ran away.
Mt. Sterling Police say Jesse Yaeger had shot himself. He died at a local hospital on Monday.
They also say the woman and Yaeger were neighbors and that she would give him a ride to work from time to time.
"She kept her wits about her," says Chief David Charles, Mt. Sterling Police Department. "She was able to form a plan on how to escape and evade him. In doing so, I believe she probably preserved her own life and well-being as well."
Investigators still do not have a motive for the whole incident.
Troopers say the pair ended up at the intersection of Kentucky State Route 1 and W. Hollow Road in Greenup County, which is more than an hour away from Mt. Sterling.
What happened in the car is still under investigation, but WSAZ.com spoke with people who live near where all this ended. Allegedly, the woman was told she was going to be raped and killed. She was somehow able to get away and ran to nearby houses. Residents say she started banging on doors and windows for attention.
WSAZ.com spoke with the woman who took the girl in and alerted police about the situation.
"She was crying and she said he might have shot himself and killed himself," Shirley Clay said. "She said she heard two shots. She didn't look back, and when she didn't hear anymore shots, that's why she thought he killed himself."
When police arrived they did find the suspect in the car. They say he suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was flown to a local hospital. As of Monday morning, he was still alive.
Kentucky State Police are not releasing any further details. They say Mt. Sterling Police are handling the kidnapping investigation.
Sources tell WSAZ.com the victim and suspect knew each other, and may have been neighbors, but that's yet to be confirmed.

And my mother came as well to watch it, and when she was being introduced to the queen on the stage of the Royal Shakespeare Company, I think then she thought, 'Well, now that's — yes, it's a serious job now.

idek wat dis is: Truth blogs are not meant to criticize others for their looks, but to...
Truth blogs are not meant to criticize others for their looks, but to bring out the truth. I am tired of seeing people nit pick dakota over things like 'her teeth are yellow' or her legs are 'fat', and she dresses like a loli, so pedophiles creep on her.
I feel like people who run truth blogs…
I actually agree with a lot of this post. Okay, not the community itself, and not the "truth" name, and what they do, and all - but calling a girl fat and ugly in an effort to…? To what, exactly? To make other girls feel better somehow?
It doesn't take a psychologist to see that as jealousy.
And to blame Dakota for the guys who perv out on her, even though, come on, do you seriously mean to tell me you think she dresses sexy? Because no. She doesn't. Pretty, sure, her clothes could be called that. Even cute, if you're into that sort of thing. But she's not exactly putting herself in Hustler here.
Although even if she was, I'd object to calling her anything for it. But I abhor labeling women based on their looks or their sexuality. You may have noticed.
Anyway, while I disagree with this community as a whole, this was still a nice post to see. I hope me liking it somehow doesn't cause it to implode or get taken down or something. LOL

Over the past two years, discussions of the jobs crisis and the plan that President Obama presented – the American Jobs Act – have been drowned out by debates over fiscal cliffs, border security, Benghazi, the IRS, the National Security Agency, the Justice Department, and now another conflict in the Middle East.
But the jobs crisis remains as real as ever. And serious solutions remain available – if only Congress would care to notice.
While many politicians and much of the financial media give the impression that the Great Recession is long gone, it's a different story when you look at the black community (13 percent unemployment), the Hispanic community (9.3 percent unemployment), or the youngest workers (22 percent unemployment). Across the country, more than four million people have been unemployed for six months or longer. More than eleven million workers are actively looking for jobs. Seven million have given up looking for work altogether.
More from CNN: Where the jobs are
This isn't about statistics – it's about human stories. Each of the tens of millions of people who struggle with unemployment faces levels of anxiety and insecurity that translate into worse mental and physical health. Unemployment means lower lifelong earnings not only for workers, but also for their children. It means a loss of dignity that's impossible to quantify.
For our country as a whole, years of mass unemployment mean a withered base of technical skills and weaker demand for goods and services. Years of mass unemployment mean a loss of competitiveness in the global marketplace, downward pressure on wages, and increased government spending on safety net programs like Medicaid.
Yet there are sensible and cost-effective ways to end this emergency right now.
More from GPS: Economy prettiest house on an ugly block
One of us, Congresswoman Wilson, has introduced an updated version of the president's American Jobs Act for the 113th Congress that creates new opportunities for teachers and first responders, public-private partnerships to meet urgent infrastructure needs, and tax credits for small businesses that hire the long-term unemployed.
The other, Congressman Conyers, has introduced the Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment and Training Act to create work and training programs in construction, infrastructure repair, energy efficiency, education, health care, and neighborhood renovation for any person in need of work.
Together, we've proposed to simply and immediately cancel the sequester cuts that are slated to eliminate upwards of 1.4 million jobs in coming years.
Other important proposals – like House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer's "Make It in America" agenda – present proven and effective strategies to bring high-paying manufacturing jobs back to our shores.
These proposals are all fully-funded through sensible measures including cuts to corporate subsidies, tax reforms, or fees on financial speculators. Ultimately, these proposals would improve our long-term fiscal outlook simply by creating jobs: The only responsible way to reduce our deficits is to get people trained, working, and contributing to the tax base. So why has Congress failed to even consider these policies?
The short answer is ideology: Republicans in Congress continue to repeat their claims that government policies are themselves the cause of unemployment.
But the policy prescriptions that follow from this thinking – massive across-the-board spending cuts – have been tried extensively both here in and in Europe since 2010. And the results are not pretty. Even the International Monetary Fund, a notoriously hardline free-market institution, has acknowledged that its calls for sequester-style budget cuts were counterproductive, causing job losses and lower growth.
Ultimately, the problem is not just ideology, but interests. Some continue to believe that they actually benefit from the status quo because high unemployment makes it harder for workers to organize and bargain for higher wages. But this is mistaken. What American businesses need most are customers, and they can only win more customers if more Americans are earning a steady paycheck.
While even the Obama administration has admitted that there are no good options for dealing with the crisis in Syria, there are plenty of good options for addressing the continuing crisis here at home.
It's time to pick one.
Editor's note: Congresswoman Frederica Wilson represents Florida's 24th District and is a member of the House Education and Workforce Committee. Congressman John Conyers, the Dean of the Congressional Black Caucus, represents Michigan's 13th District and serves as Ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. The views expressed are their own.

I told you not to fall in love with me. I'm not that kind of girl. I'm not for relationships or commitments. I live freely, haphazardly at times – I live the way I want to. Those things are not for me.
I know that. I won't stop you nor try to change you. I won't follow you nor force you to commit to me. But before you go out of that door, I just want you to know that if one day, you get tired of the life you are living, this home will always be open for you. I will always protect you and care for you. You said I don't fall in love easily that's why you chose me, it's true. But I fell in love. And it won't change anymore.
wahaha. I do Wooyoung's part in Without U so often. haha :))

Interestingly the results here have the Kingston drive pulling ahead in raw speed and with 512k tests but getting completely trounced by the Vertex when it came to the 4k ones.

Another strong win for the Vertex, storming ahead of the Kingston drive in both system and specifically HDD benchmarks.

OCZ Vertex 2 : 30.908
Kingston SSDNow: 28.346
Dawn of War II Chaos Rising
NB. Unfortunately when selecting this test I neglected to realise that we didn't have boot time results for chaos rising with the vertex, so another drive was used for this test.
OCZ Vertex 2: 26.05
Mach Xtreme MX-DS: 18.2
Unfortunately for the Vertex while it seems to have strong performance numbers in synthetic tests it doesn't carry over to the real world quite so well. The times are hardly poor, but they're not as strong as our comparison drives.
The OCZ Vertex 2 comes in at around the £140-£160 mark.

Born: May 7, 1955
Born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1955, pianist Axel Zwingenberger is traveling the world as the »ambassador of Boogie Woogie« since the age of 19. Together with his friends Vince Weber, Martin Pyrker and George Moeller, he started out in the German speaking countries. Meanwhile, the keyboard virtuoso has given concerts in about 50 countries on four continents, in the Middle and Far East of Asia, in Africa as well as in the Americas. Besides that, he has performed in almost every European country.
Boogie Woogie is a very profound, expressive and powerful style of piano playing, firmly rooted in the Blues. It emerged in the South of the United States of America, around the turn from the 19th to the 20th century, created by African-American pianists in a most unusual manner, ignoring most of the rules of conventional piano playing. Nevertheless, its greatest exponents achieved an impressive level of pianistic virtuosity. Its rolling eight-to-the-bar rhythms, created by the player's left hand, are the trademark of the genre, and these rhythms consequently had a lasting effect on the popular music until today. Following a brief period of huge popularity during the 1940s, Boogie Woogie dropped into obscurity for a while, but its rhythm has been perpetuated by Rock'n'Roll and other musical forms. During the 1970s, it started to regain popularity, especially in Europe, not the least through Axel Zwingenberger's efforts....

On Wednesday, May 23, 2012, medical students in the Class of 2012 enjoyed a dinner dance held at the Surf Club, in New Rochelle.
The Projekt, with lead singer Marie "Cookie" Kurtz from Einstein's creative services office, kept things hopping all night long with their great music. Students didn't stop dancing until the very last song was over.
The evening also included a cocktail hour and dinner. A great night was had by all and each student went home with a copy of their class photo, taken earlier that day.

I'm always interested in what other people are listening to.
This has been in my rotation for awhile & continues to yield more thoughts, more passion, & more meaning with every listen.
This is a record you LISTEN to.
This record will stay with you.
Its melodies will be hummed all day. Its soundscapes will haunt your hearing in the real world. Its lyrics will make you pursue your dreams, rethink old loves, rekindle newer loves, and make any road trip you decide upon, to define your journey.
The intricate guitar work that layers most of the songs plays brilliantly with finger-stylings & good ol' fashioned chord strumming.
As each song builds and crescendos the entire band swells as a full rogue wave out at sea, and then disperses upon the rocks in a diverse array of counter melodies & an almost familiar recess back to the confines of the song structures.
In "Alcatraz" you will learn to respect the revolution. Or to watch and listen for the revolution. Or join the revolution.
And you will learn that it does not matter, just as long as you have a choice.
"When you coming home?"
- As soon as you get this record.
"I am still your man"
- mostly because you finally got to listen to the best album of 2012.
GET THIS ALBUM. It is one of those great listens that can go on a midnight highway in Iowa with blinking wind turbines, to headphones on a boat at sea, to a surround system at dusk in a metropolitan city that speaks the same language as you.. or a language that was derived from Latin.
This record lends itself to most occasions, actually.
So listen often, and LISTEN.
Just listen to it.

Just what the Florida Panthers need after losing another lead to the Carolina Hurricanes last night. A game against the Washington Capitals the night after. In Washington. You can read Josh's recap of last night's game. I'm not touching it. For even more insight, go to On Frozen Pond, where George Richards reminds us again of Eric Staal and what could have been. Sigh.
One thing I will comment on that will be a problem tonight is fatigue. Five games in seven nights is alot for anyone. But knowing that, and a game tonight, three Panther forwards played less than ten minutes last night. Mike Santorelli, Rusty Olesz and Steve Bernier were all but invisible, especially in the third frame. Spells trouble for this game, and the top nine, or at least the nine that were getting the bulk of time will be tired. Put your seatbelts on, this could be an ugly one. A potential three game losing streak is in the air.
Remember the last time the Panthers played the Washington Capitals in Washington? Five power play opportunities for the Caps in the first period. No goals. Then with one second left in the second frame, the Panthers scored to take a 1-0 lead and ended up defeating Washington 3-0. Oh yea, and that f-bomb tirade on the HBO special 24/7. We caused that. Ha ha!
In short, the Panthers will have their work cut out for them tonight and will need to play a very boring road game as they try to slow down Washington. Where's Jacques Martin when you need him to pour five gallon buckets of paint on the ice so we can watch them dry? Yes, we'll have to trap. We'll have to slow the game down. We'll have to be careful. Maybe even try cycling in the Capitals end. I'm not feeling good about this game at all. Also, Washington has given up only 14 goals in their last nine games. Thanks for that @onfrozenpond.
Florida is 3-5 this year in the second of back to back games. Washington has been off for three days. Last night Stephen Weiss was a minus three. He wasn't good with the puck or without the puck. He looked tired. The more I type the worse it gets. Oh, did I mention that Washington comes here this coming Tuesday?
Bruce Boudreau will be shuffling lines for tonight as Alexander Ovechkin could be on a line with Brooks Laich and Marcus Johannson. Meaning that Nicklas Backstrom probably gets Mike Knuble and Alexander Semin. Either way, all that spells trouble for Florida. Or as Bruce would say fricking trouble. (sorry kids read this)
Good news? The Caps power play has converted only 4 of 50 chances in the last 12 games. Hey Jim Hulton are you pulling a double shift? The Panthers power play is still weak, and non existent for the most part. last night was awful as nothing, and I mean nothing happened in the chances they had.
No idea as I type this who will be in goal. It's anyone's guess, but I'm not making one.

Very Nice. Of the three Play it Again Sports that I have been to only one had any idea what kettlebells are. That could account for the range in prices I found. One was .89 cents per pound, one was $1.14 per pound, and one was $1.50 per pound. Just wanted give people a heads up on this.

Some of you went to law school knowing exactly what kind of lawyer you wanted to be when you grew up. You watched Law and Order or Boston Legal and decided that duking it out against an evil opponent in the courtroom (while engaging in inappropriate trysts on the side) is your thing. Or you may want to work on billion-dollar deals and attend fab closing dinners with high-level business executives. If so, you probably won't find this article very useful.
Others of you went to law school because, well, the pre-med thing didn't pan out and you figured there was nothing better to do. Or maybe you went because your parents really, really wanted you to, but arguing in court sounds intimidating and you really don't care about negotiating fancy-pants deals. Or maybe the only thing you really care about at this point is landing a decent-paying job. And if it involves some upward mobility and you can also make use of your law school degree, well heck, that would be a plus. If any of this describes you, read on….

Insights from the UK and beyond
from Left field:
England break 24-year duck with Ashes triumph
11.53am local time on December 29, 2010 at Melbourne Cricket Ground. It's the moment England cricket fans have waited nearly a quarter of a century for. The Ashes are won/retained in Australia.
Minus the Perth aberration, even the hardest Australian heart would have to concede it was deserved. Surely?
Mick Tsikas caught the celebrations.
from Left field:
Johnson makes feelings clear after swinging success
Mitchell Johnson showed the sort of form that won him the 2009 ICC Cricketer of the Year award with a fiery spell of inswinging that accounted for four of the England top order on Friday morning, bringing Australia right back into the third Ashes test in Perth.
The Australian quick, dropped for the second Adelaide test after going wicketless for the first time in a test in the first match at the Gabba, took time out from his celebrations of his second wicket to make his feelings clear to his press box critics in a gesture captured by Reuters' photographer Tim Wimborne.
from Left field:
Ricky's woes continue as Aussies struggle in Perth
Australia skipper Ricky Ponting failed for the fourth time in five innings in the current Ashes series as the hosts struggled to 179-6 at tea on the first day of the third test against England.
His captaincy may be under threat but with his team mates (Mike Hussey excepted) also failing at the crease, his place as a batsman looks safe for a while now.
from Left field:
Can England win the Ashes Down Under?
England captain Andrew Strauss sounded confident when he said his side could not have prepared more thoroughly for their bid to retain the Ashes. The squad flew out to Perth on Friday with good reasons to be optimistic about returning from Australia with the famous urn, a feat last achieved by an England side in 1986-87.
Here I look at a few of those reasons to be cheerful, while below my colleague Pritha Sarkar considers why Australia may themselves be feeling confident.

I made an account here JUST to tell people how bad this product is. If that isn't proof enough, I've got more.
First off, this products DOES NOT in any way shape or form help your lashes grow stronger. In fact, it does the exact opposite. It's such a thick formula that it weighs down your eyelashes, and is almost impossible to remove, so it stays on and ruins your lashes.
And it's almost like wearing waterproof mascara, only worse. It literally does not come off. I am not the type to try makeup one time and immediately throw it away; usually, I'll give it a few wears and try it out to see if it's just something I need to get used to. But this product, I had no problem throwing away after just one use. I scrubbed my skin raw with my strongest brand of makeup remover wipes, and I went through six trying to get it off until I decided that was the best I could do. This was all yesterday, and there's still mascara on my eyelashes after makeup remover and hot water.
The brush is giant, as well. I felt like I was going to poke my eye out. And this giant brush led to huge clumps, and I never get clumps. I generally do a couple of swipes and any extra swipes to even it out, and I'm good. I tried doing that with this and it was just clump central.
Overall, a terrible product. Don't be dumb like I was and buy it without reading reviews. I know products work differently for different people, but this product is not even worth trying out because I can guarantee you that it will not work out.
I bought this mascara after watching Sam from Pixiwoo rave about it and I wanted to get my lashes to grow a bit. I don't think it does that at all, but it does help volumize quite a bit. Yes, the brush is big, which means it's prone to clumping but you get some big lashes. My biggest complaint with it is the flaking. I've never had a problem with mascaras flaking before and this one is awful. Even if didn't use black eyeshadow, it looks like I have a ton of fallout. And like other reviewers have said, it is ridiculous to remove. I use the regular formula but it feels like the waterproof one when I'm trying to get it off. I give it two lippies because it does volumize your lashes pretty well but I'd never buy this product or recommend it to anyone. It's just not worth it.
Grow?? Try not! I was curious and spoke with someone with Revlon on what the ingredient (others say Olive Oil, Rice Protien, ect..) was to help lashes grow and what I got was a long list of things I couldn't pronounce and a simple "we have no one ingredient to help make lashes stronger". (sorry for the run on) Not to mention it washes off horribly, and I don't use waterproof mascaras. I sit with a buff pad scrubbing at it for minutes to get all the residue from my eyes. I feel like it is actually weakening my natural lashes during use, and I'm all about healthy naturally thick lashes. On another note the brush is waaaay too BIG! I guess they want you to poke your eye out or something, it doesn't even hold that much mascara. Not sure as to what the concept of that was supposed to be, but it was clearly overdone. So in a nutshell "grow luscious" false advertisement and in the trash.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
More reviews by candystripelegs
No, no, no...do not buy this!
Giving it 2 stars for the brush which is huge (I prefer big fluffy brushes for my wimpy lashes) and the fact that is didn't have a nasty chemical smell that a lot of other brands do these days.
Formula was runny which in my experience, doesn't work with big fluffy brushes. Thicker formulas seem to build better volume IMO.
Easily clumps and gives spider lashes, leaves lashes crunchy and doesn't do much for lifting or curling.
Don't even get me starting on the "growing" claims of this mascara...it's a joke.
There are plenty of better and cheaper mascaras at the drugstore than this!
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I can't believe ANYONE likes this mascara! First of all, the brush is TOO BIG. The mascara doesn't even get to my lashes! Second, I bought the NON-waterproof to make removing any excess product easier to remove (with WATER), but some residue remains and I have to rub my Q-tip in something oily in order to remove the rest. But as I say, my main complaint is that the brush is too big! I've been buying mascara for years and never have had this problem. Along with the non-waterproof issue, WASTED MY MONEY and will not buy again - in fact, will go back to Cover Girl or Maybelline and throw this tube away!

For the price, I was pretty impressed with this mascara. I really loved the brush the most. However, I did get some flaking and my lashes felt super brittle (maybe because I bought the WP formula?) Regardless, I really like it. Its not my HG, but its not so good that I will repurchase. I didn't notice any significant difference with the length or volume of my lashes after using an entire tube and using it every day.

I love this mascara It's light and airy and perfect for daytime use. The waterproof formula is ridiculously hard to remove but thats a good thing when it comes to waterproof!
I didn't realise that it was also formulated to help strengthen and grow lashes until I had been using it for six months and noticed I barely needed mascara anymore (during the day with natural makeup on)!
As a child I had huge, bambi eyelashes which disappeared and fell out as I got older and started to wear makeup. This mascara has helped me grow back my natural lashes and I haven't gotten comments on my bare lashes like this since I was five!
I really liked this mascara! It is not my favorote, but high on the list. Pros: Very lengthening and volumizing. Builds easily to go from natural to intense looks. Just clumpy enough to work with. Thick formula. Very big brush. Versatile, good for travel when packing light. Nice all-around mascara. Cons: Doesn't actually help lashes grow. Dries out fast. 3 weeks tops with daily use.
The ridicolous choice by Revlon about putting on the market this... thing...is memorable. And hilarious.
Sucks! I was really disappointed with this mascara it gave me these horrible raccoon eyes it flaked that bad don't waste money on this mascara.

Fairfield senior LB Marquise Vann is considering UConn and Central Michigan as his college choices, according to former Fairfield coach Aaron Fitzstephens.
"Decision should be soon," Fitzstephens wrote in an e-mail a few minutes ago.
Vann took an official visit to UConn this past weekend and enjoyed his trip, Fitzstephens said.
Vann made a verbal commitment to Minnesota this summer but has looked at other options after the school made a coaching change.

Here on Ramblin' Fan we are going to start posting some of the Rams coaches and players post game quotes and maybe even some from during the week. Here is what Fisher, Bradford, Stacy, C. Long, and Quinn had to say after the win
Jeff Fisher
– "It seems like a long ten days, but it was a good win for us. As we've been talking about during the past week there were things that we set out to do, things we needed to do differently. Fortunately, we were able to put those things in motion a little bit. When you have 36 rushes and 34 pass attempts, or whatever it was, and balance that suggests that you're keeping the ball and you're creating third down situations that are convertible and so on, so forth. We've still got a long way to go. Made some mistakes. Had some opportunities. Need to clean up the special teams stuff. I have not seen it so I can't comment on the two penalties until I look at it. Out of fairness to (WR) Tavon (Austin) we can't even get close to any blocks in the backs or holds now because he's got a chance to make some plays for us. I think we came through it healthy and it's nice to get a win under our belts."
-(On feelings in the locker room after the game considering the team's last stretch of games)
"We've put that behind us and we looked at this as if it was the home opener and we just had a poor preseason so, we've got 11 games left on the schedule."
-(On Zac Stacy)
"Zac, I think, he had a long run of 12 (yards) and averaged 5.5 or better. So he's hitting the hole well…He got some extra stuff, so it was good. Then (Rcool smiley Daryl (Richardson), we felt like between the two of them we could change things up. So we got some things done in the run game. I thought the offensive line played pretty well."
-(On WR Austin Pettis continuing to produce)
"Well he is. That was a great catch. That was a game-winning catch. It kind of put the game out of reach. He kept drives alive for a couple times. Got to his spot. I know we played four quite a bit. 'Sted' (WR Stedman Bailey) didn't get in, but they were all effective for us."
Sam Bradford
– (On how it felt good to get the offense going)
"Absolutely. Obviously, after the past couple weeks I think it was big for us to come in, get a win, just kind of break that losing streak and get some momentum going into the second quarter of the season."
-(On what the offense needs to do to get a faster start)
"I don't know. Like I said earlier this week, if you guys have answers, we're looking for them. But we know that's going to be big going down the road. We've got to be able to come out, start fast, put points on the board and play with a lead and stop playing from behind."
-(On what the takeaway was from the game)
"I thought we did some things really well. Obviously, there's things that we're going to need to correct going forward. But I'm really proud of the guys up front and the guys running the ball today. I thought they did a great job. We finally got the run game going and give all the credit to those guys up front. It was a group effort, and the guys running the ball did a great job of running hard and trusting those guys today."
-(On how much it helped to have the running game working today)
"It helped tremendously. Any time you're having success running the football it really opens up some of the things you can do with play action. Today we still weren't great with it, but going forward as long as we can continue to run the ball it's going to help balance things out and keep defenses from attacking, knowing that we're one-dimensional. I thought Zac did a great job today. I think he showed everyone what he was about. He ran hard, he ran physical, he ran downhill. I don't think you could ask for much more from him today."
(On Head Coach Jeff Fisher telling the team to act as if this was the season opener and forget the past few games)
"Yeah, those first four were just preseason games, I think we've played eight preseason games. Any time you win a season opener there's going to be some things that you do well and some things that you need to improve. We'll go in tomorrow and look at the film and try to get ready for Houston next week."
(On what the mood in the locker room was after the win)
"Like you said, after last Thursday night I think everyone in this locker room was pretty frustrated because we know that we're capable of playing at a much higher level than we did. I think it was a long wait to get back on the field. That's kind of the problem with playing on Thursday night is there's a big break. If you lose you have to wait a long time to get back on the field, so I think everyone was excited to get out there today. To pull out the win, I think it's huge for this group. It'll give us some confidence going forward."
(On WR Austin Pettis)
"You can't say enough good things about Austin Pettis. I've said it since OTA's, I think he's one of our most dependable. He's so smart, you can put him all over the field. He knows every route that everyone's supposed to run and I can trust him because I know that he's going to see things the right way and he's going to be in the right spot."
(On what he wants to do better offensively)
"Everything. I think just being more efficient. We talked about it a little bit about it earlier, but I think starting fast, getting ourselves going early is something that we really struggle with. But I think if we can come out and get ourselves into a rhythm early, then that'll really help things going forward."
Zac Stacy
-(On his play)
"It was pretty much a good, productive day. It all started up front, but we came into the game – we wanted to establish the run and we got that job done today. It was just overall a good team win for us."
-(On how he felt once he got rolling)
"I was able to get into a rhythm a little bit. For the most part, there were a lot of good things that we did up front to open up holes and everything for all of us, so hopefully we can keep the momentum going into next week."
– (On how he thinks his running style helps the team)
" Coach Fisher, he loves that physical type of running, and that's one thing that we all emphasize in the running back room. We want to bring that physicality out there on the field, so it was pretty much what we emphasized all week."
-(On how it feels to be a part of jumpstarting the run game)
"It's definitely a confidence booster for the run game. But, all around, whatever play is called, we want to execute it to the fullest."
Chris Long
(On if the team played better this week)
"The tape will tell that. We're happy with the win, but at the end of the day, we're going to have to evaluate how we played by looking at the film. Just like you can lose and play well, you can win and not play up to your standards. I'm not saying that's what happened, but obviously we can get a lot better. I'm looking forward to fixing whatever problems we may have and playing a really good team this week."
-(On how the defense played)
"It can be a lot better, but we won the football game. I'll take the win and some mistakes any day. We'll sit here tomorrow and hash out and see what we can get better at. There are a lot of things we can get better at, and we're going to have a great test this week. That's the exciting thing about it. And hats off to Jacksonville, they played really hard and they're a good football team, but we ended up getting the win."
Robert Quinn
(On the defense's play)
"We still made a lot of mistakes, We still won the game, so all we can do is get better and make corrections to what we did wrong. All we can do is improve from there. "

4 Babysitting Tips
We're lucky enough to have a [very energetic and doting] grandmother two doors down and a handful of neighbors who love to entertain Bee when we're in a pinch, so finding reliable babysitters is rarely an issue for us. But for those of you in larger cities where babysitting fees are outrageous (seriously, $15/hour?) or finding a trustworthy sitter has been trying, here are a few tips gathered from the oh-so-wise mothers who have shared their smart alternatives…
- Try an at-home date. My friend Tsh's oldest child is nine – not old enough yet to babysit, but old enough to be chomping at the bit to babysit. So, to both give her experience and to give Tsh and her husband a cheap date, they host Tate Nights. (It works out well that her name is Tatum, or Tate for short.) Here's how it works, in Tsh's words: "On Tate Nights, we have our date upstairs—we get some dessert and watch a movie or play a game while Tate is in charge of her two younger brothers downstairs. She feeds them the simple dinner we made, then gets them dressed for bed and puts on a quick movie. After the movie, she reads them a bedtime story, tucks them in, then knocks on our door so that we can give everyone goodnight kisses. She gets babysitting experience with the safety of us being only a door knock away; we get an at-home date for $2 an hour!"
- Consider timing. A smart girlfriend of mine recently admitted she was doing date night all wrong. "Think about it," she shared. "On typical date nights, we're paying $10/hour for someone to put our kid to bed and then sit on the couch and watch loads of TV!" So instead of scheduling date nights, she schedules date days. She hires a babysitter to play with her children – making art, playing tag outside, etc – while she and her husband sneak away for the day and come home to exhausted children and a babysitter that's earned her keep. "It's like an extended date," she says, "because we come home relaxed and rejuvenated, and then still have the whole night ahead of us after the kids go to bed."
- Snag a mother's helper. Similar to Tsh's date night above, a mother's helper is a genius solution for affordable babysitting if you're in a pinch. I've shared our experience with our mother's helper right here, and gracious, what a difference it's made in both socializing Bee as well as gifting me a free window of time to cook a nice dinner, fold laundry or work on a project uninterrupted (I know, can you imagine?).
- Arrange a babysitting swap. My girlfriend in Seattle has a babysitting swap with her best friend – she watches her friend's newborn for an afternoon and a few days later, her friend hangs out with her 5-year-old son. The mothers love the change of pace in learning another parenting stage/style, and it's great for bonding the families together. Plus, a free window of alone time on your "off" day? Genius.
Tell me, what are your secret babysitting tips and tricks? I'd love to hear!twitter, facebook, pinterest, stumble

We're very lucky to have willing Grandparents who also each have Forrest one day a week for daycare, I have willing girlfriends who like to play for a few hours, AND a neighbor down the hill who loves to watch him in a pinch – all to say we 1) still don't get out often and 2) having all these loved ones available makes me really leery of hiring on someone I don't know. All great tips above, though. And might I add to parents, get out of the house if you can, it's good for your relationship beyond your children! = )
Similar to idea number one above, when I was a kid about 9 or 10, my parents' friends used to come over for dinner and bring their much younger kids (let's say, 3 and 5 or so), and they would give me $5 or so to watch their kids for them while everyone enjoyed dinner. They got to socialize with their adult friends and I didn't mind playing with their kids, plus I got a little bit of pocket money. Win-win! That being said, I don't know anyone with a 9 year old, so this won't work for me
Never thought of #2, thanks for sharing these tips!
The day date is really, really smart! Right now we mostly do in-home dates after putting Rooney to bed, but we could really use a proper date one of these days
These are great suggestions — I particularly love "Tate Night" even though I can't steal the idea for myself right now. I've got a daughter just a few weeks younger than Bee, and we still haven't figured out the babysitting thing. We don't have any local family, and rely on our daycare's "parents night out" but they only do that every 2 months. I seriously need to just find a reliable babysitter!

Postcard Birthday Poster | Oh Happy Day!
Sometimes it's so hard to think of something for someone's birthday, especially when you're short on funds. One of the most important parts of receiving something for your birthday (other than the um… receiving part!) is knowing that the person who gave you the gift actually thought through what they gave you. There's nothing worse than getting a present and thinking - 'Um, what the?! Do they know who I am?! Or did they just grab the first thing that was on sale and wrap it up!?' And then you feel guilty for not appreciating the present and then you're annoyed that you felt guilty because after all, it is your birthday and how dare they make you feel guilty on your birthday, and what the hell am I going to say to them when they ask me if I enjoyed reading the Nicole Richie book they got you? (This is a true to life story. Don't buy people books by Nicole Richie as a gift. Just don't)
This is where this amazing gift steps in. They suggest that you give the cards to others and get them all to send to the birthday girl/boy, but I would be worried that someone would drop the ball and it would say 'I'm say happy you were bor'. But you may have more reliable friends/family! The other option is to write your own little notes and start sending out one a day before their birthday. Either way, it's a beautiful way to show someone how much you appreciate them, a really pretty piece of art, and a conversation starter! How can something so cheap and free be so amazing!?

SATURDAY, July 30 (HealthDay News) -- A new study seems to
confirm the widely held belief that many smartphone users
obsessively check their devices for e-mails, social media and
Researchers analyzed the habits of smartphone users in the
United States and Finland, and found that they checked their
devices throughout their waking hours. A typical check lasts less
than 30 seconds and involves opening the screen lock and accessing
a single application.
The study also found that most smartphone use consists solely of
checking and that checking does not occur randomly, but is
triggered by certain contexts such as reading e-mail when commuting
or tracking news while bored.
Smartphone users didn't regard repetitive and obsessive use of
their devices as an addiction, but did describe it in terms of
overuse and as an annoyance, the researchers said.
"What concerns us here is that if your habitual response to, say, boredom, is that you pick up the phone to find interesting stimuli, you will be systematically distracted from the more important things happening around you," Antti Oulasvirta, of the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology, said in an Aalto University news release.
Habits are automatically triggered behaviors that compromise the
more conscious control certain situations require, Oulasvirta said.
"Studies are already starting to associate smartphone use to dire
consequences like driving accidents and poor work-life balance.
Unfortunately, as decades of work in psychology shows, habits are
not easy to change," she added.
The study was recently published in the journal
Personal and Ubiquitous Computing.
The authors said the habit-forming nature of the devices adds to
their pervasiveness.
