Do you ever wish you had buns of steel or at least a pleasantly plump derriere? Whether you're an aspiring IFBB bikini amateur or you long to look perfect in your yoga pants, you're probably seeking out glute workouts to tone your tush. We've turned to IFBB Bikini and Fitness Pros so you can see how they tone and shape their glutes as they prepare for competition. How do they get those rad rumps? Take a look at these three glute workout videos to discover some great techniques and get inspired. Don't forget to check out the Glute Workouts Pinterest board as well.
IFBB Fitness Pro, Lindsey Waters, demonstrates a few glute exercises to get your butt ready for the stage, the beach or anywhere life takes you. Check out how she trains at the East Coast Mecca: Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym. Lindsey also shares some insight as to why she finds some of the glute exercises she selects so beneficial. She also shares some of her favorite "Butt Sculpting" training techniques. Plus, you'll even find out what she does to bar boredom at the gym.
Last year with only six weeks to go until the 2014 Olympia competition, IFBB Pro Sarah LeBlanc shared some of her rigorous glute/hamstring training. In this video she gives a glimpse at the type of glute muscle targeting exercises she does for round, full glutes that all bikini girls want to have.
Tone your butt/glutes and legs like IFBB Bikini Pro Yarishna Ayala. In this video, you can see some of the exercises Yarishna does to tone her glutes and legs. She definitely mixes up her glutes and legs workout routines with a variety of different methods. Sometimes she uses nautilus equipment, for other exercises she uses free weights, on occasion dumbbells are in the mix, and there are also times when she just uses her body-weight for glutes and legs exercises. We're pretty sure we even saw some leg weights as well as a step and medicine ball in there. Take a look for yourself. Which of these exercises will you add to your glute workout routines?
We've put together an array of even more bootylicious exercises and other glute-related photos and videos on our HGH.com Glutes Workout Pinterest board.

Bodyweight training is oftentimes overlooked and underrated. What's amazing is the body transforming results that bodyweight exercises can help you achieve. It's not like your body can distinguish between a barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell or your own bodyweight. All it really knows is how hard it needs to work to move the resistance. For example, if you're bench pressing, you use your pectorals, deltoids and triceps, but don't really work any other muscle groups, unless you make a conscious effort to do so. By performing bodyweight exercises, like one-arm push-ups, you're not only working your pecs, delts and triceps, but you're also incidentally working your lats, abs, glutes, quads and hamstrings. Another great thing about bodyweight training is that you can workout anytime wherever you are. You don't need any extra equipment and you don't even have to go to the gym.
We found a few videos that show numerous bodyweight exercises, including five of Coach Kozak's favorites, 44 of the best bodyweight exercises from Tee Major Fitness and a 30-minute bodyweight boot camp. Plus, we've added a special Pinterest board filled with bodyweight training tips, exercises and workouts.
As a constant fixture in the health and fitness world for more than 15 years, Coach Kozak shares his innovative scientific method to training and nutrition. From professional athletes to soccer moms and even a Heisman trophy winner, Coach Kozak has brought extraordinary results to thousands of clients.
In this video, Coach Kozak with HASfit provides step-by-step video instruction for a full-body workout using bodyweight exercises alone. Take a glimpse at the training regimen he has in store for you:
When it comes to using bodyweight training to build strength and muscle, there are three fundamental movements: push-ups, pull ups and squats. We've discovered that there are numerous variations of these essentials, as well as a variety of other bodyweight exercises you can incorporate into your workout schedule. Tee Major Fitness presents the 44 Best Bodyweight Exercises Ever:

If you're ready to intensify your bodyweight training, then you'll love this 30-Minute Bodyweight Boot Camp Workout You Can Do Anywhere video. Adam Rosante, a celebrity trainer based out of New York City, leads the way in this half-hour of muscle pumping, sweat dripping full-body workout. He makes a wonderful point with this no excuses workout, "You're going to use the body you have to create the body you want."
This video includes a warm up, full workout and cool down, as well as lots of motivation from Adam along the way. Another nice thing about this workout is that if you don't have enough time, the warm up nicely gets your blood flowing and is better than not working out at all.

While many regard December as a period of indulgence, year-end also marks the starting point for New Year's resolutions. It's a time to take stock of your personal goals, assess your progress and analyze prior pitfalls as you plan for the year ahead. If you've fulfilled your 2014 resolutions, how can you take them to the next level in 2015? If you've fallen short, what caused you to falter, and how can you achieve success in the coming year?
To help you get your New Year's fitness resolutions off to promising start, we've solicited ideas from the HGH.com team and our sponsored athletes. Following are the top 10 tips from our resident fitness experts and IFBB pros:
1. Set SMART goals. In the business world, "SMART" stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. But SMART objectives apply equally well to fitness goals. Rather than making vague resolutions like "lose weight," "bulk up" or "get fit," take the time to identify and define exactly what you're hoping to achieve. Then write down those objectives to hold yourself accountable, and set a series of incremental milestones throughout the year.
2. Do a reality check. When making New Year's resolutions, it's important to ensure your goals are realistic. People who set unreasonably high expectations for themselves – such as severe caloric restrictions or prolonged, intense daily workouts – may be more likely to give up if they backslide. By lowering the bar a bit at the outset and aiming for progressively higher goals over time, you can position yourself for success. Check out the video below and click here to watch a female personal trainer talking more about weight/endurance goals.
3. Choose your workout wisely. It's not enough to make "get to the gym" your New Year's resolution; you need to have a plan of action once you get there. A bodybuilder looking to increase upper body strength will follow a very different exercise program than a runner seeking to improve endurance or an overweight person aiming to reduce belly fat. If you're a new gym member, request an equipment demonstration so you'll know which exercises to incorporate into your routine. If you're a gym regular interested in taking your workout to the next level, schedule a session or two with a personal trainer for professional advice on how to achieve your fitness goals.

See http://www.hgh.com/blogger/post/strength-cardio-ab-workout-jillian-michaels for original blog post)
4. Tap into tips from bodybuilding and fitness pros. While personal trainers are a great resource for gym-goers, individuals who prefer a do-it-yourself approach will find a wealth of information just a click away. Many trainers and pro bodybuilders share their expert advice via blogs, YouTube videos, podcasts and other social media channels. Look up athletes whose physique you admire, and see what they share online. For example, IFBB pro Tricky Jackson airs a weekly Pro Muscle Radio broadcast that's popular among bodybuilders. And be sure to check the HGH.com blog regularly for curated posts featuring videos, tips and advice from some of the country's top bodybuilders, athletes and trainers. Check out the Tricky Jackson video below.
5. Change the scene. While some people perform best by following a regular routine, others get bored quickly and are more apt to give up their resolutions when they lose interest. If daily visits to the same gym seem like a tedious prospect, try varying your routine. Alternate gym days with home workouts or team sports; or visit a local park with fitness stations in lieu of exercising indoors.
6. Raise your nutrition IQ. Many people equate the word "diet" with counting calories or restricting carb or fat intake; but the reality is that proper diet and nutrition are as much about consuming the right foods, vitamins and minerals as avoiding the wrong ones. Consider making an appointment with a nutritionist or checking out a few books to learn how specific foods and dietary supplements can help you achieve your fitness goals, from building muscle or burning fat to increasing stamina or minimizing recovery time. And explore the HGH.com blog to discover the functions, benefits and evidence behind some of the key ingredients in popular health and bodybuilding supplements.
7. Track your progress. Hopping on the scale each morning or measuring your biceps every evening can create disappointment, as you'll rarely see immediate results. It's better to track your progress over time, with a weigh-in or measurement every week or on alternating weeks. Since fitness and bodybuilding goals tend to involve a gradual progression, you're not likely to notice changes in yourself from day to day. But if you take weekly or semi-weekly photos of yourself, the results will be clearly visible as you work toward your goals.

8. Find your motivation. Whether it's a mantra or a mentor, find what (or who) inspires you and keep that front and center as you focus on fitness resolutions. Motivating messages and visual cues can have a powerful impact. Follow Twitter or Facebook pages that post inspirational quotes and practical advice, or create a Pinterest board with aspirational images that propel you to strive harder. To see what inspires us, click over to the HGH.com Pinterest boards.
Tips and Motivation From the Pros.
9. Register for an event. Even if you're a long way from achieving your fitness goals, committing to a specific event will give you something tangible to work toward. If your objective is to run the Boston Marathon, sign up for a local half marathon a few months out. If you dream of competing in pro bodybuilding championships, register for some regional novice-level contests as you work your way toward a pro card.
10. Never give up! When all is said and done, succeeding at your New Year's fitness resolutions doesn't mean having a perfect track record every single day of the entire year. It's only human to have an occasional lapse or to get sidetracked when work or personal obligations take precedence; the key is to look at these events as momentary hurdles rather than insurmountable obstacles. Remember that success is an ongoing journey, and you're in it for the long haul!

"Holiday workout" may seem like an oxymoron during this time of year when Halloween treats are still lurking around your house, you're ready to gobble up some Thanksgiving turkey, and holiday parties and celebrations are right around the corner. If you don't want to have a jiggly belly like jolly ol' St. Nick, then we've got some holiday workout routines and tips to get you through. We've gathered together some rockin' exercises and helpful hints for keeping your fitness goals on track throughout the holiday season. Plus, we've created a Pinterest board focusing on today's topic: Holiday Workouts and Tips.
How can you keep working toward your fitness goals throughout the holidays? Daniel and Kelly from Fitness Blender answer this question in a way that may surprise you. One of the major keys is to enjoy yourself, and stay away from the worry and guilt. The reality is that if you stick to your usual routine except for the few holidays, you should be fine to indulge on those days. It's okay to splurge a little here and there, if you keep working out and eating clean the rest of the time. The real secret is to stay away from all of the treats coming into the workplace. If you do have some indulgences, don't skip meals to try to counteract it. This won't help at all in the long run. There's a fun blooper section at the end of this video as well.
Holiday parties and celebrations can wreak havoc on your healthful eating and workout habits. All of the sweet treats and indulgences that come with these events can be difficult to turn down, and being short on time can sabotage your workouts. Health and fitness consultant, Alycia Kluegl, provides some helpful holiday party tips and also shares a great workout. A few of her top tips are.
Don't got the party hungry. Limit alcoholic drinks. Socialize away from the food and bar.
Plus, the Power Three full-body workout she recommends, includes:
Jump Squats Push ups with Hip Extension Half Sit Ups
Vertical from Barstarzz leads us in a high intensity workout that's ideal for burning fat and building muscle. You can ban the bulge with this fast-paced workout that features:
High Knees Mountain Climbers Hardcore Burpees Pull ups Dips Push ups
We've put together a vast selection of exercises and tips to help you enjoy the holidays, while maintaining your fitness routine. Check out HGH.com's Holiday Workouts and Tips Pinterest board to stay motivated throughout the holiday season.

When thinking about the different type of lifters and training – bodybuilders, weightlifters and powerlifters – we think it's much like a battle of the buffest. Each type of lifting program improves strength and size in its own way.
Which one is right for you? That's something you'll need to decide. Who knows, you may like to do some training from each of these areas to get the results you desire. Check out these videos to get a better idea of some of the different techniques and build each of these athletes have. We've also created a Bodybuilder vs. Weightlifter vs. Powerlifter Pinterest board
As we mention above, there are differences between bodybuilders, weightlifters and powerlifters. Berlin Strength in Germany thought it would be fun to find out which type of lifter would last the longest in a squat session. Keep in mind, they are speaking German, but the subtitles are in English, when you press the Closed Captioning (CC) button. Let's see who the winner is in this friendly squat session competition: one of the two powerlifters, the weight lifter or the bodybuilder. Who do you think it will be.
Join us with the crew from Berlin Strength Gym in Germany as bodybuilders train with powerlifters. The Bodybuilder Meets Powerlifter video below shows bodybuilders Harry Irorutola and Felix Valentino do a basic power lifting workout with powerlifters Thomas Faber and Romano Rengal. As bodybuilders, Harry and Felix workout to make their bodies look awesome, while powerlifting is more about extreme strength and power. In this video, they focus on powerlifting basics, including squats, deadlifts and benchpresses. Thomas and Romano also share several tips on proper powerlifting technique. Much like the video above, this one is spoken in German, but the subtitles are in English when you click on the CC button.
See how the deadlift is done with this friendly backyard battle between a bodybuilder, a powerlifter and a strongman. You'll see slightly different techniques as each competitor basically does the deadlift as they do in their training. Who will come out as the deadlift champion?
Take a look at the collection of bodybuilder, weightlifter and powerlifter pins on HGH.com's Pinterest board.

Tyrosine – also known as L-tyrosine and 2-amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propanoic acid – is an amino acid that is found in certain foods and produced by the body. It serves as a building block of neurotransmitters and protein, and supports proper organ function. Individuals seeking to boost their levels of L-tyrosine can obtain it through food sources as well as in natural health and bodybuilding supplements such as HGH 30,000 Nanograms, HGF-MAX, A-Max 50 and whey protein mixes.
As an amino acid, L-tyrosine plays a role in protein synthesis. It is also critical for the production of three key neurotransmitters – epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine – that support the nervous system and influence mood, and it is involved in the production of melanin (skin pigments). Finally, L-tyrosine helps to maintain proper function of the thyroid, pituitary and adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing and regulating hormones.
The body naturally manufactures tyrosine from another amino acid called phenylalanine. Dietary sources of tyrosine include soy, eggs, turkey, chicken, fish, dairy (cheese, milk, cottage cheese, yogurt), pork, beef, beans, peanuts, mustard greens, spinach, pumpkin seeds, and seaweed. L-tyrosine may also be consumed as an ingredient within natural dietary supplements.
Since tyrosine is involved in producing epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine, it appears to help the body manage the effects of stress. Studies suggest that L-tyrosine may help to enhance memory and mental function under physical and psychological stress, including lack of sleep. It also has been shown to reduce fatigue and increase alertness in individuals who are sleep-deprived.
Numerous sources suggest that L-tyrosine functions as a natural human growth hormone (HGH) releaser, also known as an HGH secretagogue. For this reason, L-tyrosine is believed to have a beneficial effect on athletic performance, helping to build muscle and increase endurance.
L-tyrosine supplements are generally considered safe for adults. Some people may experience minor side effects such as nausea, headaches and upset stomach, particularly at high dosages. However, individuals who have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or Graves disease should avoid L-tyrosine supplements, as they can exacerbate these conditions due to increased production of thyroxine.
Interactions are possible with some medications. L-tyrosine has the potential to elevate thyroxine levels too high when taken in combination with synthetic thyroid hormones, and it may interfere with the absorption of levodopa (L-dopa) in patients with Parkinson's disease. L-tyrosine supplements may also cause a severe increase in blood pressure when taken with a class of antidepressant medications known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). More detailed safety information on L-tyrosine side effects and interactions can be found on the University of Maryland Medical Center website. As with any medication or health supplement, it is best to consult your physician before taking dietary supplements containing L-tyrosine.
Numerous research studies have explored the impact of L-tyrosine supplements on mental function, memory and alertness, particularly in relation to physical and psychological stress such as sleep deprivation and cold exposure. One such study published in the Brain Research Bulletin examined the effects of L-tyrosine on cadets during a weeklong military combat training course, and found that supplementation improved cognitive performance while reducing systolic blood pressure. Another group of researchers reported in Aviation Space and Environmental Medicine that L-tyrosine supplements had the ability to counteract cognitive performance decreases in subjects required to perform continuous work after losing a night's sleep. Similarly, an article in Physiology & Behavior stated that L-tyrosine supplements helped alleviate working memory decrements in subjects exposed to severe cold.
In Amino Acids and Proteins for the Athlete: The Anabolic Edge, author Mauro G. Di Pasquale asserted that amino acids such as tyrosine, arginine, leucine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) all may potentiate HGH secretion. Research into L-tyrosine's effects on athletic performance, muscle growth and endurance remains ongoing; however, clinical evidence in support of these benefits has not yet been published.
For additional L-tyrosine research, refer to the PubMed site sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Athletes, bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts can harness the benefits of L-tyrosine with natural HGH releasers and bodybuilding supplements from HGH.com:
HGH 30,000 Pills and HGH 30,000 Spray – Available in both capsule and spray forms, HGH 30,000 Nanograms promotes HGH production with a powerful combination of L-group amino acids, including L-tyrosine. These oral supplements support muscle growth, fat-burning, increased energy and other benefits.
HGF MAX – These bodybuilding supplements are formulated to naturally boost HGH production with ingredients such as L-tyrosine and other amino acids, which help to build muscle, enhance muscle tone, increase metabolism and improve stamina.
Anapolan Max 50 (A-Max 50) – Designed to help bodybuilders achieve rapid muscle mass increases, A-Max 50 features L-tyrosine and other active ingredients to promote lean muscle gain, stimulate HGH production and elevate testosterone levels.
Multi-Pro Chocolate Whey Protein – With nearly 500 milligrams of L-tyrosine and 24 grams of protein per serving, Multi-Pro is a complete protein supplement that is intended to help users build muscle, reduce body fat and improve the immune system.
CytoSport Vanilla Whey Protein – One serving of low-fat, low-lactose, CytoSport whey protein contains 3 grams of L-tyrosine and a full 18 grams of protein. It is formulated to aid in developing lean muscle mass and recovering more quickly after intense training.

Become a UU-UNO Envoy!
About Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office (UU-UNO) Envoys
What is a UU-UNO Envoy? An Envoy acts to represents the UU United Nations Office within their local congregation. They connect the congregation to the UU United Nations Office and get important information on current UN activities. They receive information on our program initiatives and then plan events in their congregation to promote the program. Envoys are extremely valuable to the UU United Nations Office because they are the link between the office and the global UU community. If your congregation does not already have an Envoy or Youth Envoy, consider becoming one. Or better yet, consider forming an Envoy Committee. To join the team, contact the office, and we will get you started. Envoy Coordinator: unenvoycoordinator [at] uua [dot] org.
How did the UU-UNO and the Envoy system originate, and how is it related to the UUA? In 1962 the U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Adlai Stevenson in talking to Reverend Dana Greeley suggested that each UU congregation have an Envoy who would inform UUs about the activities of the UN. Following this, an office was set up by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) to coordinate the efforts of such envoys. Thus, the UU United Nations Office was formed and initially under the Department of Social Justice, UUA. Later, it was spun off as an associate organization with no direct funding from UUA. In July 2011, the UU-UNO rejoined the UUA as a part of its the International Resources Department.
How Can I Become an Envoy or Youth Envoy?
To become an envoy first read about Getting Started and Envoy Responsibilities and then contact our Envoy Coordinator by email, unenvoycoordinator [at] uua [dot] org or by phone at (212) 986-5165, ext. 3. We will add you to the envoy email list and send you an envoy welcome packet.
Upcoming Events
- We are looking for Envoys who will be attending annual meetings to volunteer at our booths! If you plan to be at the Canadian Unitarian Council's Annual Conference and Meeting (Ottawa, ON, May 15-17) or the Unitarian Universalist Association's General Assembly (Portland, OR, June 24-28), RSVP using this form to let us know you can help out.
- Take a look at the minutes (PDF) from the recent envoy check-in call from April 2015 and discuss with your envoy team or committee.

Off to their best start since 2001, the Terrapins (4-0) led 30-0 at halftime after limiting the Mountaineers (2-2) to two first downs and picking off two passes.


text: Glamorized by personalities such as Evel Knievel and the Great Wallenda, risky stunts have now become commonplace in the media. Daredevils! documents the early pioneers that heightened America's voyeuristic fascination with risk-takers. First produced for A&E, the program recalls dangerous stunts of the past. Motorcycle madman Knievel nearly died while jumping the fountains at Caesar's Palace. It didn't stop him from jumping the Snake River Canyon years later. Carl Wallenda now occupies a footnote in history for his 1970 tightrope walk across Tallulah Gorge. For viewers craving a piece of the action, four modern-day daredevils record their unbelievable acts on mini-cameras. The volunteers include Robbie Knievel, Lee Oman, Steve Trotter, and Enrico Wallenda. Adrenaline pumps as they navigate waterfalls and walk on air. Regis Philbin hosts this glimpse into the world of real action heroes. ~ Sarah Ing, Rovi

IANS, New Delhi, Modified: November 23, 2012 12:16 IST
Ever since he came to India, Italian chef David Rocco has piled on 15 pounds (6.8 kg) thanks to spicy daals, delectable chicken tikkas and tongue-tingling biryanis. So impressed is he with the desi cuisine that he is planning a new TV series on Indian food.
"I'm working on a series on Indian food. My show 'Dolce Vita' has become of interest for people across the world and I received e-mails from Indian fans asking me to come. So I had talks with FOX Traveller and here I am. I find a lot of similarity between Indian and Italian food and culture," Rocco told IANS.
Rocco will begin shooting the series from February.
"The surprising thing in both places is that within a 10 km radius, one can find the same dish being made in 25 different ways. The nature of my current trip is to explore Indian food, the ingredients and find out what makes Indian food tick," he said.
So far, he has been loving the experience and says "it's been life-changing".

Respond to Review of Ms. Cupcake
by MuK-UK
Review: I'm glad I live nowhere near this place, or I would become obese in weeks. The cakes are wonderful although I warn you the cupcakes icing is very sweet, the staff are pleasant, and the shop is worth visiting alone. They also have had several gluten free cakes on the times I have been.

I am struggling a bit with this piece of C# code. Basically, what I'm trying to do is some kind of mechanism to check if, in first place, the user and password combination for my SQL server was correct, and then, check if the database exists.
The connection string would be like this:
connectionString =
"database=test;server=localhost;uid=" + usr.Text + ";pwd=" + pwd.Text;
The solution I'm trying to reach is one that can check the exception thrown and tell if it's about a wrong password, a wrong user, not found database, etcetera. I've seen the use of DbConnectionStringBuilder in some places but I'm not sure of how I should use it.

CFN Recruiting Rankings
60. Kansas State
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 72
The program learned its lesson and only scheduled one non-conference game against an FCS team instead of two (which ended up costing the Cats a bowl game) facing Missouri State after starting out against UCLA. Overall, the schedule isn't bad with all the tough games at home except for the mid-November trip to Missouri. An influx of JUCO transfers should bring in more depth and more options, but some of the key playmakers like WR Brandon Banks and DE Jeffrey Fitzgerald have to be replaced. The secondary should be a strength and the special teams should be fine, but the team needs Carson Coffman to shine at quarterback or the season won't go anywhere.
59. Notre Dame
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 64
Brian Kelly might think his program is on a five-minute plan and not a five-year one, but it's going to take a lot of work to come close to even thinking about going to the BCS with a muddle quarterback situation and with a schedule that will guarantee at least four losses. Jimmy Clausen left early and Dayne Christ is coming off major knee surgery meaning one of the new recruits might be under center for the opener against Purdue, Golden Tate is gone from the receiving corps, and the entire starting offensive line needs to be replaced. The defense gets everyone back on the front seven, including linebacker-star-to-be, Manti Te'o, while the secondary has to replace safeties Kyle McCarthy and Sergio Brown but gets back both starting corners. There isn't a true break in the slate until Western Michigan in mid-October, and teams like Purdue, Michigan, and Tulsa will be better than last year.
58. Purdue
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 71
Last year's team needed to do some major rebuilding and it came up with a strong season, but this year's team has to do some work in the defensive back seven and has to hope for Caleb TerBush to be ready at quarterback. The offense should be explosive with Smith, RB Ralph Bolden, and most of the top skill players back to bomb away. This might not be a Big Ten title contender, but it'll be a dangerous team that throws a wrench into the season.
57. Arizona State
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 90
To say that 2010 will be a crossroads season for Dennis Erickson and the program is an understatement. Neither can afford a third losing year in-a-row. As the offense desperately seeks an identity and a pulse, this might be the beginning of the Brock Osweiler era in Tempe. After playing sparingly as a rookie, he could be turned loose in the spring, getting a chance to show off one of the strongest young arms in the conference.
56. Northwestern
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 47
The departure of QB Mike Kafka and DE Corey Wootton takes away the team's two best players, and the secondary is going to be a concern, but the team should be just as strong if Dan Persa can emerge as a steady quarterback. The offense will look for more balance while the defense will need to get even more from the front seven led by a linebacking corps that could quietly be among the best in the Big Ten. The schedule is just light enough to demand nothing less than another bowl game.
55. Mississippi State
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 62
Does Dan Mullen's team have enough to get over the hump and into a bowl? Maybe, but it's going to be a rough ride over the first half of the season with Auburn, at LSU, Georgia, at Houston and at Florida as part of the mix before mid-October. But there's a payoff late, right? Try again with trips to Alabama and Ole Miss wrapped around a date with Arkansas in November. On the plus side, the offense, even with a wholesale change at running back losing Anthony Dixon, Christian Ducre, and Arnil Stallworth, should've be awful, while the defense gets back seven starters. This year will be about survival to 2011, and anything more than five wins will be gravy.
54. Nevada
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 51
It should be more of the same as the devastating running attack gets back QB Colin Kaepernick and a slew of talented running backs. Can there be more consistency and more production against better teams? It'll be a major disappointment if the Pack doesn't average well over 300 rushing yards per game, and it'll have to if the defense doesn't improve by leaps and bounds. Most of the defensive front is back, but both starting safeties are gone. Cal comes to Reno while the Pack goes Mountain West in non-conference play dealing with Colorado State, at BYU, and at UNLV.
53. Kansas
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 74
Turner Gill has an interesting team and an interesting schedule facing Georgia Tech and a trip to Southern Miss to go along with North Dakota State and New Mexico State. Baylor might be better, but the road trip to Waco isn't a bad game against the South and missing Texas and Oklahoma is as big a break as KU could get. Nebraska is the only truly tough pure road game (the Missouri game is played in Kansas City). Can Kale Pick replace Todd Reesing? The passing game is going to take a hit, but all five starters from a young line are back meaning the ground game should be the focus early on. The defense will be fine, but nothing special.
52. NC State
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 73
Naturally, the Pack wants to reverse the recent trend by getting back over .500 and contending in a wide-open Atlantic Division. First, it'll need to determine if QB Russell Wilson will be under center or signing a contract to play Major League Baseball. If he bolts, the Mike Glennon era in Raleigh begins sooner than expected. The defense will get a lift from the return of LB Nate Irving, who missed the season following a car accident.
51. Iowa State
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 67
This isn't going to be a Big 12 title contender, but it should be a good enough team to ruin the hopes of some of the main contenders. QB Austen Arnaud and RB Alexander Robinson lead an experienced offense with eight starters returning, but the defense has to come up with some key replacements losing LB Jesse Smith and six starters. There's little room for mistakes against the average teams needing to likely beat Northern Illinois and Northern Iowa to have a shot at a bowl game. Iowa and Utah are also on the slate, while the Big 12 slate couldn't be worse with road trips against Oklahoma and Texas from the South.
50. Air Force
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 40
Can Troy Calhoun get Air Force into the top three in the Mountain West pecking order? It might be a bit tough with the entire starting offensive line needing to be replaced and four starters gone from the defensive front seven. The secondary should be a strength and the skill players are going to be excellent, but the lines have to be solid from Day One. Getting BYU and Utah at home will be a plus, but going away to TCU and Wyoming might be a problem.
49. Michigan State
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 66
This could be the sleeper in the Big Ten race with so many starters returning. The Spartans get back most of the key players on both sides of the ball and have a nice schedule that shouldn't be the reason if things don't go as well as planned. The key will be to get more from the running game and some semblance of production from the pass defense. The offense was great at throwing the ball because it had to be with the defense struggling so much. More offensive balance would be nice, but head coach Mark Dantonio has to make his D tighter.
48. Kentucky
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 55
Joker Phillips has some holes to fill, but he has a nice base to work with. It was trial by fire last year at quarterback, and it should pay off with Morgan Newton leading a veteran group of options. Randall Cobb is one of the SEC's best all-around playmakers, and Derrick Locke is the best running back no one knows about. The offense will put up points if the line can replace three starters, while the defense should be fine even without CB Trevard Lindley and LB Micah Johnson. If Florida, Ole Miss, and Tennessee are probable losses, it's not a big deal that they're on the road while the rest of the slate isn't too bad missing Alabama and LSU from the West and getting a beautiful late season stretch facing at Mississippi State, Charleton Southern and Vanderbilt from October 30 until the November 27 date at Tennessee.
47. Navy
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 26
2009 was supposed to be a rebuilding year. How did that work out? Now the team has a quarterback in Ricky Dobbs who should be a fringe Heisman candidate working on offense with seven returning starters and more than enough talent to be far better and far more efficient. The defense has to replace Ross Pospisil and the entire linebacking corps, but most of the secondary returns and two key parts of the front three, Jabaree Tuani and Chase Burge, are back. Compared to what Navy has had to do in the past to replace key players, this is nothing. The schedule has a few interesting battles with Maryland and Wake Forest to deal with along with the usual games against Air Force, Notre Dame, and an improved Army. It's not a cakewalk of a slate with SMU, East Carolina, Louisiana Tech, Duke, and Central Michigan looking like easier opponents than they really are.
46. Arizona
2009 Final CFN Ranking: 22
While the Holiday Bowl dress down gave Arizona a sobering measuring stick, the program has to like where it's headed. Back-to-back postseason invites have done wonders for its psyche and its ability to recruit throughout the West. There'll be losses on both sides of the ball, but nothing so devastating that the 'Cats can't keep rolling under head coach Mike Stoops. Another season with QB Nick Foles will help the offense, as will the return to health of RB Nic Grigsby. He's too valuable to be in and out of the lineup, as he was throughout 2009.

Report: Ray Allen to get MRI on knees then decide future plans
Jul 23, 2014, 5:38 PM EDT
As are a number of other NBA stars
trying to boost their brand and shoe sales spreading the love of basketball around the globe, Ray Allen has been in China the past week on a "vacation." A vacation where he goes on television shows and does news interviews, so just like all your vacations. Maybe junket is a better word for what Ray Allen has been doing.
Out of his trip comes this note, via Brian Windhorst of ESPN.
LeBron James has reached out to Ray Allen trying to recruit him to Cleveland, as he has already done with Mike Miller. Miller is calling Allen as well. Allen has been more hesitant and what he is thinking depends on which sources you're talking to — maybe he wants to go once more unto the breech with LeBron if he thinks he can win a title, or maybe Allen doesn't want to go to Cleveland to play on a young team that likely still can't beat the top teams in the West. (With that, how much does a potential Kevin Love trade factor into Allen's decision?)
Allen is still in amazing condition, is still the consummate professional and can still knock down the corner three. However his fading athleticism has made doing pretty much anything other than shooting difficult. Such as defending.
Expect Allen to do one of three things: Agree to terms in Cleveland, find a deal with a contender in a warm weather city, or retire.

Love comes to Cleveland Allen comes to,Cleveland.

How ironic! most of yall talk about how LeBron left miami because the supporting cast is old but yet he's recruiting most of them! It's not like there's wasn't or no other free agents out there! No matter what happens Cleaveland, miami showed him how to be champion first and now he's trying to show you all! Miami leftovers!
- maf586 - Jul 23, 2014 at 5:50 PM
James jones, Mike miller and once Ray Allen knows he's fine… A lot less need for both wiggins and waiters…

"Expect Allen to do one of three things: Agree to terms in Cleveland, find a deal with a contender in a warm weather city, or retire."
Way to go out on a limb.

Just roll Ray out to the corner in a wheelchair and he'll still knock down the 3. Money!

I love Ray but he's becoming the definition of "chasing a ring".
- jzone954 - Jul 23, 2014 at 6:54 PM
I believe Ray will retire. I think if it was a shoe on for Cleveland like everyone thinks it's would've happened already, before Lebrons first departure he originally reached out to Ray Allen about coming to Cleveland and Ray said no. But I could be wrong. Either way. Man is a legend to the game a legend to celtics fans and heat fans with arguably the biggest shot in heat history and Allen's career.

I think the question for Allen comes down to minutes. In Cleveland with Waiters as the starting 2 with Miller backing him up and James Jones who is another Coach Paulmaverickjames favorite, how many minutes can they realistically give him?
He would be better off signing in Chicago or Indiana. But the force is strong with Coach Paulmaverickjames.
- casualcommenter - Jul 23, 2014 at 10:59 PM
Yeah, if the Cavs give up Waiters as part of a Kevin Love trade to recruit a third team, then the playing time is clearly available for Allen.
However, if they keep Waiters and trade for Love, there's not enough minutes at the shooting guard and small forward position for Waiters, James, Miller, Jones, and Allen. James also won't be spending much time at power forward if they get Love and keep Thompson, so somebody is going to be riding the bench on a nightly basis wearing a suit if Allen joins.
And if the Cavs keep both Wiggins and Waiters instead of trading for Love, there's even LESS playing time available at shooting guard.

Ray's getting there. Just taking longer because of age.

Welcome back to Milwaukee Ray

Ray Allen leaning toward returning to NBA and joining Cavs, source tells Boston Globe.

NYPD Detective Richard Volpe was knee-deep in soot on 9/11, digging with buckets, shovels, his bare hands -- anything he could find -- trying to find survivors.
Volpe, 38, had worked a 4 p.m.-to-midnight tour the night before, and had had trouble sleeping.
Clicking through the morning news on TV, Volpe came upon the image of a smoldering tower.
Having participated in rescue operations during the 1993 World Trade Center attacks, he said his instincts kicked in almost immediately.
"I just got in my car and drove down there," he said to ABC News.
As he drove, Volpe did what any good cop would do. He tried to prepare himself.
"You put through in your mind, you know, different things that could happen and how you [would] react to things," he said. "So that's basically what I was doing -- trying to prepare myself."
It was a useless exercise.
"You couldn't see your hands in front of your face," he said. "The air was so dark. There was soot that was, like, up to your knees."
He said he remembered walking by St. Paul's Chapel, one of the oldest buildings in New York and where President Washington prayed after his inauguration.
The chapel is surrounded by a cemetery with tombstones that date back to the 19th century.
"You couldn't even see the tombstones in there. The debris was piled so high," Volpe said. "It looked like a war zone."
Volpe, a self-proclaimed "gym rat" who said he had worked out six days a week before the Sept. 11 attacks, said he gave it his all -- until exhaustion literally overtook him.
"I actually remember going back to my car, and a [police] lieutenant was walking around and he looked at me and said, 'Detective, are you all right?'" Volpe said. "I'm like, 'Yeah, I'm fine.'"
"I just, I couldn't remember where I parked my car. That's how confused I was from everything that was going on," he said.
He returned and continued to work at ground zero, day after day.
"After the first couple days, I was coughing up blood and every time I sneezed, blood would come out of my nose," he said.
He was given a paper mask that he said later turned out to have been fitted with the wrong filter.
From ground zero, Volpe was moved to Staten Island's Fresh Kills landfill, where the debris from the towers was being hauled.
He described his haunting memories of his work there.
"Everybody would get on this bus, and you would drive up this mountain and you'd get to the top, and when you got to the top the only way I could describe it was like these three football fields, and they were all lit up with lights and stuff," he said.
"What they would do is they'd [get] like 10 [detectives] or 12 detectives, and they would assign them to each football field and what you would do is, these big grappler machines would pick up all this debris and … would spread it out in this field and then you'd walk out there with a rake or a pick or something and you'd dig through all this stuff."
"You'd have a 25-pound bucket with you and you were picking up actual human remains, throwing them in this bucket and at the end of the day you'd bring it to the FBI and drop it outside their trailer. And they'd do a DNA [test] on it and then they'd come with a big frontloader and plow all that stuff that you went through and then dump a whole bunch of other stuff."
"You'd do that for 12 hours."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two days before President Barack Obama's first trip outside Washington to promote his gun-control proposals, the White House tried to settle a brewing mystery when it released a photo to back his claim to be a skeet shooter.
Obama had set inquiring minds spinning when, in an interview with The New Republic magazine, he answered "yes" when asked if he had ever fired a gun. The admission came as a surprise to many.
"Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time," Obama said in the interview released last weekend, referring to the official presidential retreat in rural Maryland, which he last visited in October while campaigning for re-election. Asked whether the entire family participates, the president said: "Not the girls, but oftentimes guests of mine go up there."
Few could recall Obama ever talking about firing a gun or going skeet shooting "all the time."
The official White House photo released Saturday is dated Aug. 4, 2012. The caption says Obama is shooting clay targets on the range at Camp David. Obama is outdoors amid grass and trees with a rifle cocked in his left shoulder, his left index finger on the trigger and smoke coming from the barrel. He is wearing jeans, a dark blue, short-sleeved polo shirt, sunglasses and headphones.
Asked at Monday's press briefing how frequently Obama shoots skeet and whether photos of the outings existed, White House press secretary Jay Carney said he didn't know how often. Pictures may exist, he said, but he hadn't seen any.
"Why haven't we heard about it before?" Carney was asked.
"Because when he goes to Camp David, he goes to spend time with his family and friends and relax, not to produce photographs," Carney said.
Obama is accompanied almost everywhere by at least one White House photographer.
Carney did not immediately respond Saturday when asked to comment on the decision to release the photo. But it could be part of an effort to portray Obama as sympathetic to gun owners and opponents of his gun-control measures who argue the proposals would infringe on an individual's Second Amendment right to bear arms.
In the interview, which appears in the Feb. 11 issue of The New Republic, Obama said gun-control advocates should be better listeners in this latest debate over firearms in the U.S. He also declared his deep respect for the tradition of hunting in this country, which dates back generations.
"I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations," Obama said. "And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake. Part of being able to move this forward is understanding the reality of guns in urban areas are very different from the realities of guns in rural areas. And if you grew up and your dad gave you a hunting rifle when you were 10, and you went out and spent the day with him and your uncles, and that became part of your family's traditions, you can see why you'd be pretty protective of that."
"So it's trying to bridge those gaps that I think is going to be part of the biggest task over the next several months. And that means that advocates of gun control have to do a little more listening than they do sometimes," Obama said.
His gun control measures, which include a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, as well as universal background checks for anyone who wants to buy a firearm, have met some resistance on Capitol Hill and from opponents of tighter restrictions on access to guns, including the powerful National Rifle Association.
In Minneapolis on Monday, Obama plans to make remarks as well as discuss his proposals with local and law enforcement officials during a stop at the police department's special operations center. He's also expected to visit with community members to hear about their experiences with gun violence, the White House said.
Obama announced his proposals in mid-January, about a month after the Dec. 14 shooting deaths of 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
The White House photo of Obama shooting skeet is trending. What's the big deal?
After the president answered 'yes' when asked if he had ever fired a gun, the White House had to provide proof.
The timing feels uncomfortable. In two days, Obama plans to take his gun-control proposals on the road.
I bet that's the first time he ever picked up a gun.
I think the photo has been Photoshopped.
I'd say not very deft politics.
I bet Obama is an expert marksman.

Discussion in 'Fly Fishing Forum' started by redlodge, Jun 5, 2014.
Yes what CLO said ^
it was probably that old guy with the poodle last sunday wading xmas tree. i dunno how he got his walker over that cobble
Some guy walking his dog down by the Wallace mouth came up and told me that a couple wannabe cop types with BNSF were threatening to send people to jail for crossing the tracks.I thought this was an isolated incident but since this thread is here I guess not. Apparently I've been a criminal virtually my entire fishing career.
That's usually what starts it. "Apparently some dumbass"...........................
That's a good question, wish I knew the answer. I do know that they real tight on safety and their dirt. Had to put a phone cable under tracks once, could not disturb dirt 20 feet ether side of tracks for 4 feet deep. Also had to encase the cable with in a steel pipe, and have a right of way pass. They sent an inspector to watch us too.
Screw 'em. Blow the tracks.
Does the NSA watch fly fishing boards?
I have the skills to help with that, but you want to find the bridges: take out the abutments, not just the tracks. We did it in mainland China in `69, not once but twice.
Shit, we'er screwed now.
I hear strange clicking noises on my cell phone.
That's just me Kerry. I'm trying to figure out a few of your secret fishing spots. I only send notes to the NSA guys a couple times a year.
The woman said you can walk under a trestle you just can't walk over nor on the tracks..nor on the pebbles the tracks are sitting on
That being said she was nice and apologetic so a more aggressive one might still write you up for going under
Careful, Evan.
You might get old someday too - if you're lucky enough.
What about a big running leap over the tracks? Does the railroad own the air? I THINK NOT.
If you run from rr cops is it still felony eluding, like it would be running from real cops?
Great idea.
Simms needs to come up with a pole vault.
I got my new Simms Trespass waders only $700
Is there a zipper?
So, how much are they confiscating on one of those "tickets"?
The big ticket revenue for them sounds like it's coming from the hwy side of Reiter/Cable hole. If that access gets shut down, I fear what's going to happen on the select few access spots that are left. This is a huge bummer.
I've heard (rumors) of being in the $1,000 range
This may end up developing a new sport. " Spey rod pole vaulting".

MINNEAPOLIS - 2008: Erin Henderson of the Minnesota Vikings poses for his 2008 NFL headshot at photo day in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Getty Images)
Mark Craig of the Minneapolis Star Tribune writes that impending free agent OLB Erin Henderson may not want to re-sign with the Vikings next season given that they were unwilling to offer him a long-term agreement last year. The Vikings will have three linebackers to address during the offseason including Henderson, Jasper Brinkley and Marvin Mitchell. Henderson and Brinkley are both serviceable players that are worth consideration for being re-signed. Although Henderson excels against the run, he struggles mightily in coverage, so it's not as though he's going to command a huge deal on the open market. On top of that, he may want a change of scenery, so the Vikings could be forced to address the position during the draft. Craig mentions that inside linebackers such as Manti Te'o, Alec Ogletree and Kevin Minter could be potential options for Minnesota's first-round pick. We have Henderson listed as the No. 76 best available player in our Top 100 Free Agents list. The post Vikings Could Target A Replacement For LB Erin Henderson In The Draft appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.
