As a classroom teacher, I remember fondly our studies in Human History: first examining and classifying the human animal; then drawing connections between our closest living relatives, and most recently to the epic stories of the earliest of humans and how they changed with and adapted to their dynamic living environments to suit their needs.

The Late Bloomer
Zach is a bit of an anomaly. He is incredibly smart in many areas, but was a late bloomer, at least when it came to reading. He didn't read well until the 2nd or 3rd grade. But, as Montessorians often know to expect, at some point in that year something "clicked on" and he began reading voraciously– his sensitive period for reading was just a bit later than most children. He was soon reading chapter books, and by 5th grade was reading at a high school level. In high school he probably learned more from his independent reading than from school. He continues to read everything from science fiction to science journals and everything in between, and is one of the best-read people I know.
Read MoreSkipping Stones
It is only after much exploration of the fractions as shapes, that we move on to defining, naming and writing them. "When we break a unit into pieces of the same size we call those fractions. When we divide the whole unit into two parts, we call each part a half. This is the family name. We write the family name 'half' as a 2 under a line. The number under the line, that tells us which family we are talking about, is called the denominator." In this way we proceed, slowly and with much repetition, to teach the names of the fractions, three at a time.
Read MoreOur Community of Paradoxes
What we seek to avoid are the cheap substitutes which are so highly prized in our society today, as they have been throughout the history of western civilization: superiority, pride, competition, control, praise, rewards and punishment. What Dr. Montessori discovered was that what had always seemed to be necessary to bring out the best in human nature often brings out the opposite. Yet even in our Montessori communities around the world, we struggle moment by moment, day by day to keep those practices out of our schools and our families.
Read MoreThe Montessori Movement Mat – The Child's First Working Table
For the older child, when we walk into a classroom we expect to see a wide array of work areas including tables, chairs, floor mats, pillows, quiet corners, etc. Yet, when thinking of children under one, we don't typically understand that as much emphasis should be placed on preparing them a 'work area.'
Read MoreEmotions Like Clouds, Thoughts Like Rain
One of the self-calming tools I have sometimes given children is the practice of "mindful walking." This method has historical roots in the contemplative traditions of Asia, but it is in no way esoteric and is easily understood by children.
Read MoreI Hate School
Somehow our culture has convinced students that learning only happens by force and only inside a classroom. Learning is something you only do because you have to, never for fun or because you just want to. What a shame…especially when Montessori education offers a time-tested and proven method that supports a child's natural curiosity and love of learning!
Read MoreMontessori Music
At a recent school event, a parent asked about music in the Montessori classroom. It's a legitimate question, as sometimes we are so excited to share with parents the math or language or science or geometry materials, that we forget to talk about art and music, although we hold them in equal esteem with the more purely "academic" pursuits.

I am capable of being the finest example of your best attributes and values expressed in my very own way. If you will prepare a home environment carefully and thoroughly for me, keep my materials and tools in order and good repair, set the limits clearly and firmly, give me long slow periods of time to work on my secret plan, I will do the work of developing a new human being, me!

As they find activities that meet their inner need for self-development and as their space and autonomy are respected, a sense of calm and purposefulness settles over the classroom. Perhaps it is magic, after all.
Read MoreThe Three Year Commitment
The Montessori primary program is designed as a three-year cycle. Much of the material and exercises in the first year or two not only help the child achieve a direct, immediate goal (such as dressing and cleaning after themselves, or learning the sounds of each letter of the alphabet), but also serve an indirect purpose of laying the foundation for future work and learning.
Read MoreBoys and Gun Play
Elementary children need to experience themselves as increasingly powerful agents in the world. As their personal power increases with age and maturity, they begin to encounter all the classical questions about power with which humanity has struggled and continues to struggle. At the root of these questions is the fact that power and its uses define relationships.

JONESVILLE, S.C. -- Union County sheriff's deputies are investigating the deaths of a man and woman whose bodies were found in a home in Jonesville.
Deputies were called to the home Monday night by a neighbor who noticed the home's front door had been open all day.
Sheriff David Taylor says the bodies of 59-year-old Charles Parker and 51-year-old Gretchen Parker were found on separate couches in the living room. He says there were wounds on both victims. The relationship between the victims was not released.
Taylor says the first deputy to arrive at the home found seven dogs inside. Animal control officers were called because deputies didn't want the animals to disrupt the crime scene.
The State Law Enforcement Division is assisting in the investigation.

NC State's legendary women's basketball coach Kay Yow was a symbol of hope and courage, but she died early Saturday morning after a two decade public battle with breast cancer.
Kay Yow came to the Wilmington area frequently; her sister, Susan, used to be the head coach of the women's basketball team at UNCW.
Kay Yow was hired as NC State's first full time women's basketball coach in 1975 after spending four years coaching at Elon College.
It did not take long for Yow to start winning and building a record most coaches only dream of.
In 2002, she was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and since then, she eclipsed the 700 win mark. The court at NC State was officially named Kay Yow Court in her honor. She was also ESPN's first recipient of the Jimmy V award, named after the men's coach at NC State Jim Valvano who also died from cancer.
In reflection of her career, Kay Yow had said, "I'm overwhelmed by how people tell me I've inspired them. I'm just doing the best I can. That's what I'm all about."
During her 34 years at State, Yow guided the Wolfpack into the NCAA tournament 20 times while making 10 trips to the Sweet 16 and one Final Four appearance.
Kay Yow's career also played out on the international stage. During the 1988 games, she was the head coach of the US womens' team, and brought home the gold.
But over the last 22 years, Kay Yow fought a battle off the basketball court; a battle with breast cancer. "I found one of my purposes in dealing with it, was to speak out and help other people," Yow had said.
Duke's Coach K said of Yow, "I don't think any area of the country has brought about an awareness against cancer better than this one. God bless her and she's a terrific lady."
N.C. State is asking fans who want to leave flowers in honor of Coach Yow at the Memorial Bell Tower instead of Reynolds Coliseum because Bill Clinton is scheduled to give a speech there Monday morning.

Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Florida
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Brandon Belt got the previous three games off in Philadelphia for a mental break and to work on his swing, and the first results were outstanding.
Belt had three hits, coming within a double of hitting for the cycle, as the San Francisco Giants beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 on Friday night.
"He looked great," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We talked in Philly, and he's all in with trying to make a couple adjustments. It's not easy to do it for a day, so give three days to work on it. It was good for him."
Belt has loosened the grip on the bat and is positioned deeper in the batter's box. He called Friday's success a 60-40 split, with the higher percentage being for the batting work.
"I think mentally I've stayed in there pretty well," said Belt, who been mired a 1-for-19 slide. "There's just some things that I need to work on to tap into my ability a little more."
Madison Bumgarner struck out 11 in seven innings and Brandon Crawford hit a two-run homer for San Francisco, which was won three straight. The defending World Series champions are 10 games under .500.
This was the first time since 2004 that the teams met.
Tampa Bay has lost two in a row, including its first game in August. The Rays went 21-5 in July.
Bumgarner (11-7) gave up one run, working around seven hits and three walks. He tied his season high for strikeouts.
Bumgarner's current nine-start stretch of allowing two earned runs or less and pitching at least seven innings is the second-longest in franchise history since records are available, behind the New York Giants' Ferdie Schupp's 12 in 1916-17.
"Any time you're able to battle through when you don't necessarily have the command you're used to having, it makes it a tougher kind of battle," Bumgarner said. "You're going to have games like that."
Sergio Romo got two outs for his 26th save.
After Belt hit an RBI triple in the seventh against Chris Archer (6-4), Crawford followed with his home run for a 4-1 lead.
Archer allowed four runs and seven hits in seven innings. He had permitted just two runs -- one earned -- over 31 innings in winning his previous four starts.
Belt got the Giants' first two hits off Archer. He singled in the third and tied it at 1 with his homer in the fifth, which stopped a career-high stretch of 18 shutout innings for Archer.
"Everything I threw, Belt saw," Archer said. "A fastball down and he kind of crushed it. Fastball first pitch, he went the other way for a base hit. So I figured I'll try a changeup, mix it up, but he saw that well, too (for the homer)."
Ben Zobrist put the Rays ahead 1-0 with an RBI single in the third. Bumgarner, who had a 16-inning scoreless streak end, avoided a big inning by getting an inning-ending pop fly from Sean Rodriguez with the bases loaded.
Bumgarner worked out of a two-on, no-out jam in the fifth by retiring Evan Longoria, Wil Myers and Rodriguez.
"Just a tough competitor," Bochy said. "Going seven innings, one run, shows you how good he is. He was without his good command tonight."
This is just the third series between the teams. When they last played in June 2004 in Florida, the Giants had Barry Bonds, and Jose Bautista was on the roster of the then-Devil Rays.
Game notes
Struggling Giants LHP Barry Zito will not make his next scheduled start Sunday and will be replaced by RHP Guillermo Moscoso. ... Rays RHP Alex Cobb, hit in the head by a liner in June, is scheduled to pitch Saturday for Class A Charlotte. His first rehab start lasted just two pitches due to a blister. ... Tampa Bay LHP David Price (6-5) and San Francisco RHP Tim Lincecum (5-11) are Saturday night's scheduled starters. It will be just the second game in Rays' history featuring former Cy Young Award winners. Price faced Toronto RHP R.A. Dickey on May 9. ... With Price pitching, the left-handed hitting Belt could be out of the lineup.

Faster cyclists are more attractive, study says
Successful professional cyclists are seen as more handsome than their struggling colleagues, according to new research.
Women rated facial attractiveness among riders in the 2012 Tour de France, won by Britain's Sir Bradley Wiggins.
The top 10% of performers were rated on average as 25% better looking than the laggards.
The scientists conclude that humans have evolved to recognise athletic performance in faces.
The research has been published in the Royal Society journal, Biology Letters.
"Start Quote
End Quote Dr Erik Postma University of ZurichWe don't know what people are picking up in the faces that is signalling the riders' performance"
Some biologists argue that evolution has shaped women to select mates on the basis that they would either make good fathers or would pass on good genes.
Healthy, physically fit men would on average be seen as more attractive by women.
A number of other studies in recent years have suggested that women have a sophisticated radar for athletic performance, rating those with greater sporting skill as more attractive.
This new work, though, set out to test if the same applied to more inherent physical qualities such as stamina and endurance.
Cycle of lifeDr Erik Postma, from the Institute of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Zurich, asked people to rate the attractiveness of 80 professional cyclists from the 2012 Tour de France. The cyclists were all of a similar physical stature, were tanned and around the same age.
Around 800 participants were then asked to score the cyclist's attractiveness based just on their facial appearances. Their scores were excluded if they recognised the athlete.
Dr Postma then compared the attractiveness scores with the cyclists' performance in time trials and in the race itself which, at well over 3,000km (1,860 miles), is a renowned test of endurance and speed.
"To my initial surprise, I found a positive relationship between the two and it was actually quite strong," he told BBC News.
The top ten 'Lycra lads'
This is the list of the most handsome cyclists in the 2012 Tour according to the research. Although he was the top pick, French rider Amael Moinard (pictured), finished in a modest 45th place.
2. Yann Huguet
3. Maxime Monfort
4. Andriy Grivko
5. Michael Schar
6. Martin Velits
7. Christophe Riblon
8. Adam Hansen
9. Rui Alberto Costa
10. Manuel Quinziato
"If we took the 10% best riders and compared their performance to the 10% worst, we found the best were on average 25% more attractive than the worst ones."
"We don't know what people are picking up in the faces that is signalling the riders' performance."
One element that significantly interfered with the overall results was contraception.
Dr Postma and his team found that women who were on the contraceptive pill were less likely to link attractiveness to performance.
"Typically, studies find that women using the pill have a reduced preference for masculine faces, and we found the same phenomenon: women on the pill had a reduced preference for faster cyclists," said Dr Postma.
Many men argue that they find it difficult to rate the attractiveness of other males, but in the study the researchers found that men who took part had a fairly similar view on who was handsome as the women.
It suggests that men do have this inherent ability to judge who is handsome, according to scientists, and they believe it has evolved to help men rate their competitors.
The scientists say that smiling didn't make a big difference in the survey. Men who were beaming were rated as more likeable but not as more attractive.
What about Wiggo?Other scientists who looked at the study found the performance measures "convincing".
"It summarises performance over a long time and should therefore be especially meaningful," said Dr Johannes Honekopp from the University of Northumbria.
"We should bear in mind that the sample is highly selected and should therefore show little performance variance in comparison to a more representative male sample of that age.
"This limitation should lead to a reduction in effect sizes. Any such effects might be stronger in a more representative sample."
And what about British favourites, such as 2012 winner Sir Bradley Wiggins and leading sprinter Mark Cavendish?
"Unfortunately, Team Sky decided to wear sunglasses for their photos and to improve standardisation I decided to not include them. That is really a pity," said Dr Postma.

Create a 12-sided, 3D globe to display research information about life on one of earth's continents.
Students research the continent of their choice to learn about its land forms, resources, climate, industry, agriculture, history, and wildlife. Collect facts and pictures about life on the continent.
To create a globe, use a compass and Crayola® Colored Pencils to draw 12 circles with a diameter of approximately 5 1/2 inches (14 cm). Within each circle, draw a pentagon, with each line measuring about 3 inches (7.6 cm). Each point of the pentagon must touch the sides of the circle. Cut out the circles with Crayola Scissors.
Using colored pencils and/or Crayola Crayons, color the background of each pentagon in soft, light colors. Write important information about the continent on each of the 12 pentagons. Include illustrations of items such as maps, birds, insects, animals, housing, and crops.
To assemble the globe, fold all five lines on each of the 12 pentagons upward. Place one circle face down, resting on its edges. Attach one edge from each of five more circles to it with a Crayola Washable Glue Stick. Continue to join the edges until six circles are connected, forming one-half of a ball. Make another half-ball in the same way with the remaining six circles. Attach the edges of the top half to the lower part of the globe.

Via his Dispatches from Haiti blog in the Peoria Journal Star, Dr. John Carroll writes: Five Year Anniversary of Haitian Earthquake—Have We Learned Anything? Excerpt:
I have learned five important things during the past five years since the earthquake:
1. Earthquakes do not kill people. Bad buildings do. And bad buildings exist because of incompetent government officials. Natural disasters like this one are never good but are made much worse by corrupt politicians.
2. Americans are a very generous people. One out of two households in the United States donated money to Haiti. $32 million alone came in the form of text messages to the American Red Cross. Can you believe that?
There are over 6 billion people worldwide and, as we say here in Peoria, most are "good people". An unprecedented amount of money (9 billion dollars? 13 billion dollars) was pledged to Haiti from all over the world. And thousands of people flocked to Haiti from everywhere to try to help out in any way that they could. And many did help out significantly.
3. The third thing I learned is that "pledged money" may not mean much of anything. In reality, most of this money did not make it to the Haitian lady and her kids in the tent, the guy clinging to life on the side of the mountain, or the farmer in the country side.
Even though people are well-meaning most of their money never made it to the Haitians it was meant to help. So where did the money go? Some global development analysts say that the vast majority of money was funneled through foreign contractors instead of the Haitian government or local outfits and that there was a serious lack of accountability and transparency. "In truth, a great deal of the "redevelopment" has gone to help the rich and powerful, not the impoverished and displaced people who need it the most." (The Washington Post)
4. So what happened to the 1.5 million people who immediately became homeless as the quake crushed their pathetic homes? They moved to tents and lived under tarps. They lived on the concrete islands of busy boulevards as diesel and gasoline fumes choked them and their children. And the women got raped and many babies were born in these horrible places and still live there now. Tens of thousands of poor souls still live in these wretched hot tents and still have to stand and hold their babies when the rains come and water gushes through their tent.
Ninety-five percent of the 1.5 million people who were in camps in 2010 have been moved, but many of them are still not in permanent housing. At least 200,000 people are in new hillside slums, known as Canaan-Jerusalem, where there are wooden and tin homes but no running water, electricity or sanitation. This encampment is short on everything except a relentless unmerciful sun. I have been there and in my opinion it is just another corner of hell.
5. The earthquake challenged medical caregivers from all over the world. It challenged their medical abilities and their medical ethics. Triage became very important. Who to try to save and who to leave in the corner of the medical tent to die. Materials were scarce. Whose leg do we amputate now and who do we amputate in the morning? Vodka for anesthesia or no anesthesia at all to save their lives? Many doctors and nurses would return to help out again but many would never return to Haiti and considered it a hopeless case.
There are 10 psychiatrists for 10 million Haitians. Mental illness is not a high priority in Haiti and is a disease that you REALLY don't want to have. Haitians don't believe in "depression" like we do. But they do believe in "constricted hearts". Constricted hearts is as good a description that you will find of many Haitians who survived the earthquake five years ago today.

First Aid Training Kits
Part of first aid training is teaching you to continually be prepared in the event of an urgent situation. That does not mean that you've to walk around with a loaded doctor bag everywhere that you go nonetheless it does mean that you must have a couple of useful first-aid kits in specific places such as for instance one in your home and perhaps one in your vehicle. Click Prefab includes more concerning the inner workings of this view.
You can buy these packages pre made but you might find that they cannot have everything that you might need in them and you will have probably paid significantly more than you should because of it. In first aid training they will give a list to you of things that should be in your first aid kit. There is far more to a functional medical kit a few band aids, a couple alcohol swabs, some gauze, and adhesive.
A well put together first aid kit will include the following items: absorbing compress bandages, numerous band supports different sizes, adhesive tape, antibiotic ointment, antiseptic wipes, aspirin, an umbrella, a breathing screen, an instantaneous cold compress, non latex gloves, hydrocortisone ointment, scissors, roller bandages in different sizes, sterile gauze pads in different sizes, an oral thermometer, triangular bandages, tweezers, and a with extra batteries.
In order that every thing is visible and accessible without having to simply take the complete kit aside this first aid kit should really be assembled. Also, you may need to custom the set a little differently if you're going camping, or are going to be in the wilderness. First aid training will provide you with some tips and ideas of just how to assemble your fist aid kits correctly for each occasion. Many find that a decent sized plastic tackle box works ideal for the assembly of your kit.
To get ready a far more advanced first-aid kit you may choose to include some other things such as for instance activated charcoal, anti diarrhoea medicine, Benadryl, an, and any other medications that you or someone in your loved ones assumes on a regular basis but you have to ensure that you check regularly that they cannot expire. The initial aid kit that you retain in your vehicle might really some as well.
The main element has been prepared on a regular basis and doing that could also include not mistaking a primary aid kit for an emergency disaster kit or even a kit that you keep in your car that contains flames and extra blankets. These are all individual kits and must certanly be treated as a result.
First aid training courses supply you with skills that one day may allow you to contribute to saving some body else's life and in addition they show you in regards to the importance of being organized in every conditions which explains why different first aid kits are expected.
Circumstances and conditions are not always the exact same which explains why you might have to include a couple of various things with regards to the reason behind your particular first aid kit. Quality first-aid kits ensure that you will be able to take care of small issues that are not life threatening as well as those that could be.

When you first do not use an external power supply, the battery inside the power exhausted, until the shutdown, and then, charging time takes 12 - 15 hours or so. Always hold the battery charge after the exhaustion, repeated three times since then.3 no memory effect on lithium, in order to avoid the memory effect best way is to charge after the exhaustion. Generally speaking there is also the memory effect of lithium is only somewhat smaller than the nickel-metal hydride. When you charge the Dell laptop batteries sky to the laptop, try to avoid too long, the general control within 12 hours.4 Generally a battery life is the number in the hundreds of charge and discharge times or so, in order to extend battery life, we recommend that you need to use as much as possible to reduce the number of batteries. If it is not often use the HP laptop batteries sky to power it, the user is preferably in the remaining 50% of the battery removed properly placed. Single-access external power adapter.

It's a path... maybe not the best, but it seems to be working.
The SUE has advantages and disadvantages... this whole journey started with the discovery of a GL kit in the closet. Then, half way through building it I was getting attached to it (in both senses of the word) and I decided to buy a Hawk Sky for practicing. It ended up in trees, in the dirt, and in a bad way... SO, I turned to this forum for help. The suggestion was "if you are having problems then don't wreck a $100 plane... wreck a $5 plane instead." It makes sense ! I have to admit that flying the SUE has been weird compared to the Rudder, Throttle, Elevator and Aileron that I got used to flying in the flight simulator. I hardly ever touched the rudder in the sim... I was planning on learning basic techniques using throttle, aileron and elevator, and then learning to use rudder to trim. I guess there is a huge difference between TRE and TREA ... and that might make transitioning a bit hard. But, considering that I've cracked up NEKKID SUE a dozen times - to a point where 1/3'rd of the plane had to be replaced - I think this is not a bad learning method. Now, maybe somebody knows of, or could develop, a Dollar Tree foam board trainer with high wings that looks sorta like a piper cub or something... complete with throttle, rudder, elevator and ailerons. Once I get passible on the NEKKID SUE then I could graduate to that four control model. That might make transitioning easier. Anybody up to the challenge ? Ad Astra |

So on the sim you did only throttle on the left stick , and you did elevator and turning ( left and right ) on the right stick ? If that is what you're used to try this : plug your rudder servo into the AILERON channel on the receiver , and then you can fly NEKKID SUE just like you're used to on the sim . That's actually how I fly all my RTE planes including my SUE's . Later when you fly an aileron plane you can add rudder on the left stick into the mix ( that has been my progression in the last 2 1/2 years ) . The plane I learned to fly ailerons on is this one - also easy to make and protects the motor/prop if you nose it in . Once it's been trimmed it is SUPER stable and will even fly big , lazy circles hands-off ! But when you want to , it will do inside and outside loops , rolls , fly inverted , etc. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=981793 Here is the first one I made

After learning to fly ailerons ( LOT'S of crashing/repairing ) with my cheap $ Tree PBF , I bought this plane ( never crashed it! ) . http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...QEwAw&dur=8261 Not bad looking , eh ? What did you think of the " rudder servo in the aileron channel " idea for NEKKID SUE ? Al |
Nov 26, 2012, 08:25 PM | |
Found it!
It's called Mikey's RC. Here's the website. Lots of free designs for foam board. http://mikeysrc.com/Scratch-Built-Aircraft.html |

Another possibility... I came back from Dayton with a 9 Channel THX9 transmitter (and receiver) that one of the guys wasn't using and was willing to sell for a song. This thing has the capability for computer generated elevon control. So I could theoretically use the two servos indep and get all four: throttle, rudder, elevator and aileron from NEKKID SUE. Only problem - I haven't been able to figure out how to use it yet. |

Congratulations Dan. I like the idea of hooking the rudder to the aileron channel too. I never liked turning with my left thumb that thumb does dumb stuff. Did your left turn problem go away when you moved the battery around to balance it better?
Anyway you need to look at the scratchbuild forums there has got to be something there you like. A lot of the planes are made from fan fold foam but you can use dollar store foam instead. You might also check flitetest dot com they have some dollar foam planes. It sure is less stressful to fly when you don't have big bucks tied up in a plane. |
Nov 26, 2012, 11:40 PM | ||
The problem was solved, but I can't say that moving the battery was the entire reason. I was also changing my behavior on the sticks, so it's a very uncontrolled experiment. I assume you mean the approximately 1/4" to 3/8" thick stuff they sell at Home Depot for about $45 for a big bundle? That has a fairly different feel from dollar tree foam. How does it stand up compared? |

About that THX9 transmitter , a flying buddy of mine has one , and I'm sure he'd be happy to help you with setting up elevon mixing , etc. His user name here on RCG is slim1357 . ---> http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=339373 I almost forgot , the ESC is just a shrink-wrapped PCB , no big deal soldering the wire back on . And the fan fold foam is very sturdy - works fine for scratch-built planes . Praymond built a SUE out of FFF and didn't have to reinforce the wings at all - and he does loops , rolls , etc. Here's his video
Al |
Nov 27, 2012, 12:32 PM | |
Watching the video of him doing rolls, loops, and taking off from the tail - I kept thinking about the poor guys in WWI who were thrown into combat with 10 hours of flight training, compared to the combat vets who had hundreds of hours and dozens of kills. Praymond is the Ace, I'm the self actuated target.

Myogenix HYPERSHOCK RAGE Reviews
Experience Vein Swelling Pumps!*
View Product InfoDefinitely the best preworkout on the market. People at the gym think I'm on drugs with how much lasting energy and pump it gives me. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to have the best work out of their life.

best flavor ever it reminds me of OG Del Taco smoothie/juice flavor back when i was a kid this is a preworkout i save for when i have alot to do that day or doing 2 a days it gives me just good solid energy all day and not just a caffene dump for my workout i love it
Sep 30, 2014
I don't like proprietary blends but I came across a sample of this stuff and liked it, so I went out and bought a tub. I haven't experienced any massive pumps from it, but I do like how I don't crash from the stims later in the day. Supposedly this is because of "time released caffeine," which I don't know how is achieved because I see no time releasing agents in the ingredients. Anyway, it is OK. A decent pwo, not the greatest, but definitely not the worst.
Sep 24, 2014
Taste: GREAT! 100% the best tasting pre I have ever had in my life, the tropical thunder taste just like a can of pineapple juice, fantastic! Effectiveness: Pretty **** solid! No jitters, great pump after its been in you for about 30 min, YOU WILL SEAT YOU BUTT OFF, and no crash like other pres, the thing im not that happy about is i don't think it has enough beta-alanine , but that is my opinion, I just add a extra scoop of NOW Beta-alanine, but again the focus and clean energy is great, NO JITTERS, NO CRASH. Mix-ability: I had no problems at all mixing it blender bottle. Packaging: IT CLUMPS UP BAD, that's why it didn't get a 10. I cant find a expropriation date on it, so hopefully BB didn't send me a bad one. 1.5 scoops is all you need!

I tried it today my very first time before my workout this stuff is awesome lasted tru-out my whole workout.
Sep 4, 2014
Love this product. Once you use Hypershock there is no other pre like it. Taste great and works better. It give me great pump, mass amounts of energy and amazing focus... Almost like tunnel vision. And the best part there's no crash. I'd recommend this to anyone who use's pre work outs and has a tolerance. Oh and no gitter's.
Sep 2, 2014
Great preworkout. Nice pump from the carbs and no jittery feelings. Tropical thunder tastes like pineapple juice!
Aug 9, 2014
It has a 6 hours caffeine delivery. Tastes fantastic(tropical thunder). has carnitine and bcaa for extra push
Jul 11, 2014
Solid preworkout. I set new PRs throughout my session and was going full bore throughout the whole thing. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's a proprietary blend and I like to know the amounts of what I put in my body.

great taste and fast acting.
Jun 23, 2014
I am not a big preworkout fan because I feel that I can get a good workout without them, and thats where results come from. Not mixing a bottle of battery acid and caffeine up. But I will say Hypershock rage is an excellent option compared to the other preworkouts on the market. 1. Price: Results should not be expensive 2. NO NIACIN: No burning eyes and itchy skin (niacin does nothing for performance) 3. Creatine and Caffeine!!! All a preworkout needs. STUFF THAT WORKS 4. Despite ingredients does not taste like pocket change There is one downside. DO NOT TAKE AFTER 5:00 or you will not sleep for days

I've tried many different types of Pre-workout over the years, and I've built up a sort of tolerance to the effects. Hypershock Rage blasted me into the next level of energy, and the taste was amazing! The only downfall I found was that maybe it lasted to long, so I switched to taking it midday instead of my usual nighttime workouts. Overall a great product!
Mar 8, 2014
Flavor is awesome! Tastes like pina coloda, doesn't give me jitters but does make me sweat like crazy, more than usual. Overall gives me a good pump. Very satisfied with this product!

M9SNIK did not leave a written review for this product.
Jan 22, 2014
This is a great pre-workout. It has the pump inducing ingredients that I like, plus an added carb blend for endurance and time release stimulant. There are also added aminos for recovery and preventing catabolism. I do not feel jittery or crash with this product, but if you are sensitive to stimulants, they also have a caffeine free version. Tastes great, unlike most of the pre-workouts I have choked down. I would highly recommend for anyone in a mass gaining phase.
Jan 11, 2014
didnt like it at all. almost immediately i got hot and itchy all over and had a headache all day!
Jan 6, 2014
I have been taking this on and off for almost 3 years. Great product! I can not believe some of the bad reviews for this product are real. Blue raz and trop thunder are great and it mixes in like two seconds. Don't shake it however, mix it. Shaking it seems to activate it too soon and hinder it's effect a little. Any review that says it doesnt taste good or mixes poorly is b.s. I know everyone has there supplements they feel work best for them and I have tried a bunch of other pre workouts and this is my personal favorite. It gives a great and long lasting pump and enhances your focus and energy immensely. 15 minutes after I take it I'm focused and my strength increases and It's slow release keeps me energized for hours. I have a low tolerance for stimulants so it may hit me harder but I'm seriously focused and energized for 7 hours with this and I often play basketball for an hour or so after working out and after all that my body is fine (with proper stretching) I've tried no explode, c4, 1mr, and jacked and this is my personal favorite because I feel the time release makes it last longer. Hope this review helps
Jan 3, 2014
Overall this is a great product. I would reccomend it to anyone but just remember to cycle it. I took this for too long at a time and grew immune to it. Dont do that!
Jan 2, 2014
I take this before morning workouts; not only does it energize me for the gym, but it keeps me energized and focused at work afterwards too! I feel great on it and I don't even feel like I crash or come down from it. My favorite flavor so far is the Blue Raspberry- but I think I will try the tropical next because I have heard good things.

Traffic was allowed to flow all the way down Boylston Street on Wednesday morning for the first time since two explosions on April 15 killed three spectators and sent more than 260 to the hospital.
Delivery trucks made their way down the street under a heavy police presence.
Workers at some businesses and hotels in the area were allowed to return to their jobs on Tuesday to prepare for reopening.
Some stores directly affected by the blasts are still boarded up.
The Copley subway station that had been closed since the bombings also reopened, while the main branch of the Boston Public Library also was scheduled to reopen Wednesday.

Salesforce Slumps on Meager Dot-Com Era Profits
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Investors who throw their nets into the market to fish for value, should pass on Salesforce (CRM - Get Report). That's not to say that the customer relationship company's valuation doesn't keep things interesting.
While Salesforce has done a remarkable job building itself into a dominant name in the software-as-a-service market, concerns about profitability and poor margin leverage remain. That's especially evident when compared to rivals Oracle (ORCL - Get Report) and IBM (IBM - Get Report).
What's more, with a forward P/E of 67, which is more than six times that of both Oracle and IBM, investors want to know what they're going to get for their money. Shares were falling 4.9% in mid-day trading on Monday to $40.27. Salesforce has slipped 3.5% this year compared to a 14% gain for the S&P 500 and a 13.5% advance for the Nasdaq Composite Index.
It's beginning to look as if Salesforce's top line growth, which has been impressive, is no longer the selling tool that it used to be for those looking to buy the stock.
OK Start to the Fiscal Year
For any other company, I would be happy with the results that Salesforce produced. On balance, though, this company is still generating gaudy growth numbers, including 28% and 29% surges in revenue and subscription revenue this quarter, respectively. The problem is, good growth (top line) numbers haven't trickled to the bottom line, which is what killed the dot-com era.. What's more, this is a story about performance relative to expectations. To that end, I wasn't particularly impressed with numbers that arrived as expected. This is even though professional services and other revenue totaled $50 million and grew 25% year-over-year. After all, with a forward P/E that presumes excellence, it will take more than meeting the Street's long-term growth expectations to command respect. Management also spoke favorably about its "billings" or "unbilled deferred revenue." These represent future billings under the company's subscription agreements that have not been invoiced. In other words, "billings" represents revenue that is contracted, but not yet invoiced and is off the balance sheet. This is an important metric in the software services/cloud subscription model that gauges the company's ability to generate recurring revenue. In the quarter, billings grew 33% to $1.67 billion. While this number is indeed impressive and speaks to Salesforce's strong market-share growth, investors have to remember that this figure is not always "direct," since it includes existing customer renewals and longer invoice durations. Therefore, it doesn't reflect the company's organic billings growth.
Profitability Still a Question Mark
Again in this quarter, the bottom line lagged the top line. And it doesn't appear as if management cares a heck of a whole lot about shoring up this aspect of the business. The company posted a GAAP net loss per share of 12 cents. And on a non-GAAP basis, which includes the effect of $115 million in stock-based compensation, the company earned 10 cents per share.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

she's in her own happy world. it's obvious this new man of hers cares nothing for her either, he's only around for that baby. if she could ever realize that this world doesn't revolve around a man she'll be alright. if you notice through every photo with him they don't hold hands, he mostly walk a step ahead of her, they show no tender affection at all. he always appear to be "just there" for the kid.
that dude is already out of her life. men have a certain expression on their faces and a way of letting you know it's over. i know men well. i see it all too clear. i wish she could just be happy alone sometime, get over herself and quit sleeping with so many men. now that she has a beautiful precious gift she should focus on that. but don't spoil the kid ridiculously to the point where she's too pretty to touch the ground. also. halle needs to get that BIG baby some shoes and let her walk.

Crystal Kid.
The band's poignant lyrics and structured rhythm create an urban rock sound with dark pop overtones, inspired by the likes of Oasis, The Killers and U2.
Crystal Kid was born from the collective songwriting skills of brothers Frank and Charles Torrealba, who would later be joined by Chris Bazinet to play the drums. After years of songwriting and playing locally they released their debut E.P in 2008 to a great reception.
Crystal Kid's self-titled E.P was produced by Daron Schofield, and Engineered by Josh Rob Gwilliam.
After much local and regional success, the band also topped the Alternative Charts on Purevolume.com and was ranked the 2nd most downloaded band on the website in early January of 2009. Their sound has been described as "the sort of music the Gallagher brothers (Oasis) set out to make but got too caught up in themselves to complete – Wildy's World (September 2008)" and their high-energy live show is not one to be missed. The band is currently writing new music for a full-length recording.

Website Hacked - Rankings Still Not Recovered After Months
Msg#: 4079435 posted
1:08 am on Feb 13, 2010
(gmt 0)
Have been assigned to work on a project since last march, after a major hacking attack on this content-rich authority site which has also got some serious awards in the past.
Some Background
The site was hacked and viagra links were posted in many articles and sections, at the bottom of the page, which made it undetectable for several weeks (the company running it has a different priority than monitoring and properly maintaining this site).[/li]
The site has original content, but the owners are making deals with various companies which buy the content, while the original stays in place (creating duplicates).[/li]
The content is bought from some well known books by the top experts in the field, some with exclusive publishing rights and some with non-exclusive. It also features various press releases from industry related companies, which I also suspect of causing issues[/li]
Because in the country it originates, it is a well respected site (been online since 2000), it has gained some good quality links from embassies abroad, authoritative sites in this matter and many deeplinks from various sections of ODP.[/li]
The site also has an international (English) version which has never really kicked off, due to the fact that the english version was residing on both the country domain and the .com as duplicate (don't ask me why).[/li]
It was using a very old custom made CMS (which made it easy to hack), but because of the company's insistence to be redeveloped using ASP.net, we're having many problems with making all old urls redirect to the new ones, plus the url friendly urls need to have their respective id's in the path (widget/red-4.html)[/li]
What we did on the new site when it went live last Augoust, was to start manual redirections (the old site had all sorts of duplicate content and long tails of parameters after the ?)
As the SEO person on this project I started doing on page SEO stuff on all major sections and then filled a re-inclusion request back in early October.
The country specific version was being worked on by the development team up until 2 weeks ago, with constant changes to layout and new sections and widgets added, so it gradually started to kick off (in December).
The international version on the other hand is still pretty dead (less than 100 visits a day on average on topics with millions of searches according to google). The rankings just won't pick up at all and on this version there hasn't been the frequent (dev only) updates that have been on the country specific one.
To date the company is still in the process of adding and refining the old content into the new CMS (with new photos added as well) and because of the complexity of the content this process does take ages, at the expense of adding fresh (and not what we used to have) content.
In addition, because the english content was hosted on the country domain, most authoritative links are to pages on this domain which I am 301 redirecting to the international version.
There are still tons of redirects to do and due to the workload it is impossible to have the dev team work on a solution to redirect all old urls. Also some links in the content are linking to non-existing pages, so that is another thing that takes ages to sort.
What is best to do in such situation? I am baffled as I have tried fresh quality links, social media campaigns and other things I am forgetting now which have been doing for months with no success.
And I am a bit holding on re-submitting a reinclusion request, as I want to have the old content back, start putting in some fresh content (something which can't happen for the next couple of months). But still I wonder why the country specific one started reviving its competitive rankings and the international one just won't pick up...
Sorry for the long post... It's been a nightmare for everyone this project for months now and truly has great content to offer. Is like a huge investment going into the trashbin. Any help greatly appreciated.

One thing to add regarding the new CMS... Even though quite seo friendly site, Still some changes I did back in October - November haven't made it into the index. A small homepage (changed title and meta tags, along with some code) change takes weeks to get into google. Some inner sections still show with titles and descriptions from pre-November....
Not sure how to approach this, as with so many redirects still not in place and some 404 links in the content, I would rather wait for filling up another reconsideration request.

It is common among those who inject parasite content that they also point many backlinks to those pages. Have you checked for that kind of thing?
Also, if you haven't already, I'd suggest using Webmaster Tools, and particularly the "Fetch as googlebot" function. Once a server has been compromised, there may well be spam on the pages that is cloaked for googlebot, and this is a helpful utility for spotting that.

Is exactly what happened. I forgot to mention it as it is nearly a year ago that the hacking attack happened. Since August the site is running on a new CMS and I'd say over 60% of redirections are in place (all main sections on the previous site).
We are safe now but I think Google has put the site into a freeze. However as I noted above, the country specific domain started regaining rankings. The .com version is just frozen with 100 visits a day max.
Thanks Tedster!
