Circuit training is a great form of exercise to acquaint yourself with if you plan to compete in mixed martial arts. It allows you to work on strength and cardio at the same time. In addition to that, circuit training has the potential to burn an amazing amount of calories, so if you are looking to drop some weight these are the exercises for you.
What is Circuit training?
Circuit training is a form of conditioning in which you string together a number of exercises completing one after another without rest or with minimal rest. The exercises that you string together form what is called the circuit.
How to do it.There is a huge amount of room for creativity when it comes to creating a circuit. You can vary the overall length of time, the time spent on each exercise, the time in between exercises, what exercises you use, how much weight you use (if you are using weights), etc.
Let's take a look at some of the things to consider when creating a circuit training program to improve performance in MMA.
- Time length - This one is pretty easy. You will usually want to try to mimic the length of time you will spend fighting and resting during a mma fight. For example, if you have a 3 round fight with each round lasting 5 minutes with 1 minute rest in between, then you would want to create a circuit that uses those times. Of course there are instances that you may not want to do it exactly that way. For instance you may want to increase the intensity of the workout beyond what you will experience in the fight e.g. less rest and longer periods of activity.
- Exercises - Well, I'm a big fan of exercises that use large muscle groups, since that is usually what you use in a fight. Think pull ups, push ups, bent over rows, and squats. Not exercises that isolate one part of the body like one arm bicep curls, calf extensions and tricep extensions. Also try to make the exercises as sport specific as you can. For instance, rather than doing squats, grab a partner and practice shooting in for a double leg, then pick him all the way off the ground, then repeat. You can replace wind sprints with an intense round of kicking the thai pads. That being said, you can pretty much use any exercise you want in your circuit providing it is safe and will push you in the direction of your goal.
- How often? - This is not an easy question to answer because it will vary from person to person. But it's definitely an important one to ask so that you can prevent over or under training. Here are some questions you can ask yourself to get a better idea of how often you should be trying to fit this into your routine.
The answers to those questions will hopefully give you an idea of how often to implement circuit training into you conditioning program. Other than that, just make sure you listen to your coach, he is there to monitor your training and make sure you neither over nor under train.
- Am I gearing up for a fight or just trying to maintain the fitness level I already have?
- How intense is the other training I am currently doing?
- Have I recently had a fight and need to recover?
- How intense is the circuit I created?
No good article on circuit training would be complete without a real deal workout suggest. So I will turn it over
Allow me to introduce myself and tell you how I can help you improve your conditioning, custom tailor your MMA fight technique, increase your striking power and speed, melt extra body fat, and get unbelievably ripped. My name is Michael Andreula, and over the past 13 years I have developed, refined, and cultivated my Kickboxing for Fitness class. The goal of this class is to get you in the best shape of your life in the shortest amount of time. Muscle and Fitness Magazine rates Fitness Kickboxing as the number one fat burner, with up to 1200 calories burned during a one hour class! That is 3 times as effective as running on a treadmill.
This workout is quick, easy, and fun. You will ENJOY doing it, and be ready for more! It's the same Kickboxing for Fitness class we use at CKO to get people absolutely ripped, cut, toned, and coming back again and again. I developed this class and the drills it contains for myself, to fit into my insanely crammed schedule.
Now it's offered at CKO, a unique gym that provides the most innovative instructional fitness programming anywhere. We take fitness to a new level every single day with variety, results-driven workouts, and energetic, motivating instructors. We have the largest boxing and kickboxing-for-fitness programs in the country, with classes running seven days a week.
This program has revolutionized the kickboxing industries, blending authentic Muay Thai kickboxing training with intense calorie burning drills and phenomenal resistance training. Hitting the heavy bag improves your muscle tone as well as your cardio endurance. It literally torches any stubborn body fat you're having trouble losing.
In just one hour, you can burn up to 1200 calories – no other workout even comes close!
No bag? No problem!
Grab a 5-pound weight, and you are set. No weights at home? I just recorded a podcast showing people doing the class with soup cans! The CKO Kickboxing for Fitness workout has been recognized in several national fitness magazines. We were also featured on NBC's The Today Show. So stop wasting time, try a class TODAY and GET REAL RESULTS! P90X doesn't have jack on us!!!!
There is no middle ground, no gray area in this class; it will push you to reach your goals.
The good news is that it's simple to get started, especially now that I have made it available in an Mp3 format for anyone and everyone! No matter what you may be struggling with right now, or how bleak your current fitness situation is, just try this Mp3 class. It will change your life, almost instantly. On the other hand, if you're doing well, but your progress has hit a plateau, this class will help you break through to the next level and beyond. You can take my class anytime you want. My class is iPod, smart phone, and Mp3 ready. The format has been kept as simple as possible for the following reasons:
· You will not destroy your phone or Mp3 batteries while playing the workout.
· In class, I always try to put you in the "zone". This is a state of mind that allows you to perform at levels you never dreamed about, because you are in a state of no thought. There is no mental dialog happening in your brain. Analyzing and complaining can't occur. You are in the moment, performing the drills at an outstanding level, and it becomes an indulgence for you instead of feeling like a workout.
It's Effective!
I can't answer all of your prayers, like a lot of the products on the market claim. For example the Ab-rocker, Acai berry pill, and hundreds of other fitness products out there are claiming miraculous results. We aren't stupid, we know they're full of lies! This class is unique and effective for thousands of people because it is simple and can be done anywhere. The trends of fitness products on the market have gotten extraordinarily complex. Who has time to do Spin on Tuesday and Interpretive Dance on Saturday? You need to be able to maximize every second of the time you have allocated for your work out. This is the definition of being effective.
It's Exciting!
Results are born from consistency; consistency is realized when you are excited about your workout. If you are not into the workout, then you will not reach your maximum potential.
If you love to run, and it's working for you - outstanding; this product is not for you. On the contrary, if you are the type of person that likes to work punches, kicks, combinations, calisthenics, core work, boxing and MMA-style fitness workouts, then I have something you will be excited about!

IncredibleThis is the best workout you can get without going to a class with Mike. I have done CKO Kickboxing for years, but with college starting my schedule doesn't allow much time to go to class. I needed something to help me workout on my own.Power Striking withor without a heavy bag are a great workout whenever I have time. I also use the first CKO mp3 class when I am traveling or otherwise don't have a heavy bag. Just shadow boxing to the class is a good workout.
Start with the first one if you can. Don't just hit the bag, but concentrate on your technique and movement. It is a fantastic workout. The Power Striking step the intensity up when you feel the first class has become too easy.
These class do not try to teach you MMA. They are intended to facilitate a workout. However, if you keep your mind on your technique and movement, the workout will help reinforce your skills."
Speaking of MMA fitness, this workout I have created involves the highest level of class conditioning for MMA training. El Guapo once said, "The stand-up is the best conditioning for MMA." (If you don't know who El Guapo is, then you must be on the wrong website.) I decided to go a step further, adding drills to condition you for ground attacks and strikes from the bottom.
My Second purchase from CKOTrainer"Great workout Mike! This one really gets you pushing yourself, the vocals are powerful. I almost crashed after the first set, haha. Would LOVE to see more at this intensity."
Power Striking and My Everlasting-Gob-Stopper Workouts
Power striking is 20 minutes of non-stop, urgent striking designed to allow you to achieve the conditioning levels of some of the world's greatest strikers. Anderson Silva, Fedor Emelianenko, Mirco Cro Cop, and countless other MMA champions constantly place a huge priority on perfecting their improvised striking. To explain what I mean by improvised striking: Many forms of martial arts such as Karate, Kung-Fu and Tae Kwon Do focus on a 'strike combination', and then on 'counters' to those combinations. That strategy works efficiently, but only when your opponent fights by the same rules!
Improvised striking is the ability to strike based on the openings provided at any given time. In this class, you will absolutely train combinations, but I'll allow you the freedom to change levels, head/hand positions, and come in from different angles, all-around working your movement.

text: Those of you under 40 may not recall childhood Sunday afternoons spent playing Billionaire or Masterpiece sprawled on the family room's shag carpeting (or family rooms or shag carpeting, for that matter), but if you do, I'm happy to report the board game is not dead. In fact, it seems to be not only alive but more fecund than ever at Blue Highway Games at the top of Queen Anne Hill. It stocks, of course, all the old Parker Brothers classics—Clue, Sorry, Monopoly—plus several localized Monopoly variants, like "Ballardopoly" (eye-roll). But the trend these days seems to be bookshelf-style role-playing games, with themes covering all of recorded history, every world culture, and a good deal of the future. There's a shelf of Dungeons and Dragons paraphernalia, of course, but also one of Killer Bunnies. There are playing cards, jigsaw puzzles, a display case filled with gemlike dice, and colorful kites suspended from the ceiling. For the youngest gamers, Blue Highway has games based on their favorite books: Dr. Seuss, Richard Scarry, Curious George. Best of all, a well-stocked game library in the back and spacious tables invite test-playing and killing a wet afternoon with a group of friends trying to figure out whodunit with the candlestick in the ballroom.

Miller Time
UNITED STATES—It's funny how we've got all our new holidays thanks to social leaders, like Martin Luther King and Cesar Chavez. I don't know of a single holiday declared in honor of a venture capitalist, and yet what mother tells her son or daughter, you go out and be a leader for social justice?
Martin Luther King was so much more, of course. He was a psychologist, a scholar, a theologian, inspirer and agent for change. He knew the human heart in all its splendor and ignominy. In him, I've also found a towering figure in self help. Listen to his words and they will give you truths to uplift, and he's not selling any real estate.
Last weekend I spent three days sequestered at a "Millionaires' Bootcamp" in a beige airport ballroom. When our conference concluded on Sunday, after having our dreams ignited, our human uniqueness stoked ("you are already a winner, 500,000 different yous swam furiously to reach your mother's egg, and you were it"), marvelous motivational stuff, but I felt kind of sick inside. The heavy hitters brought to the speakers brought to the platform distinctly conveyed the impression that the people most fit to help others were zillionaire CEOs. One CEO was fighting childhood obesity, another was saving an African nation, another had a pet foundation, and we could be like them if we played our cards right. Even as our hearts were open wide, and we were given very great tools to do greater good than ever before, many in the room were belittled.
From day one we were told that those who stood behind the line dividing the stage from the tables made astronomically more money. We were asked to fill out a questionnaire about dreams and goals and, by the way, divulge our financial status. "How much cash do you have on hand?" "Do you feel stuck financially?" It felt a bit like when you are a virgin Red Cross donor with high hopes for giving blood, and out of the blue they ask you if you've taken intravenous drugs or had anal sex. Some people at the conference were invited to "VIP" dinners, others weren't and they wondered why.
When the conference was over, I looked at my e-mail for the first time in days: certain headings assaulted my senses: Are you sabotaging your success? Release limiting beliefs, get out of the sea of mediocrity. I sharply felt the injustice of this barrage. How we allow ourselves to get taunted by this thinking, and buy into the idea that there's something wrong with us and deprecate ourselves because of it?
I thirsted for some perspective from the wise king, Dr. Martin Luther King. Some fortuitous housecleaning immediately unearthed a disk of a sermon Dr. King made the last year of his 39-year life. In "The Drum Major Instinct"--his take on the human desire to be first and lead the parade--he provided just the soul solvent to the melt away schism I had felt between the haves and the have-mores at the conference.
"If you want to be important, wonderful. You want to be recognized, wonderful. If you want to be great, wonderful. But recognize that he who is greatest among you, shall be your servant. That's your new definition of greatness," Dr. King thundered from the pulpit. "It means that everybody can be great because everybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb to agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's theory of relativity to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love, and you can be that servant."
You only need a heart to help and serve. You don't need a million dollars. Maybe just going down the street and smiling at somebody, or holding the door open for someone will make a significant difference in ways we can never fully fathom. There was a young man who survived a suicidal leap off the Golden Gate Bridge and he tells that when he decided to jump he vowed that if, beforehand, someone asked how he was doing or smiled at him, he would decide life was worthwhile. Nobody did; the bus driver who left him off at his last stop didn't even look at him.
That smile or looking somebody right in the eyes can nip malice in the bud or simply inspire kindness. There are kind gestures and little acts always in our grasp, for we are born millionaires in our hearts. Let's honor the legacy of Martin Luther King start spending that love now.

Ensenada is the fifth largest municipality in the world with 52,000 km2, 1500 km of coastline on two seas: the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California. A population density of 9 inhabitants per km2 (California has 92 per km2, Yucatán 48 per km2, Quintana Roo 31 per km2, Arizona 20 per km2 and Florida 108 per km2) shows that Ensenada is a spot where space is congruent with nature.
Ensenada is noted for its contrasts in vegetation, climate and topography, with the large desert areas standing out and bordering on the Gulf of California, the pine forests of San Pedro Mártir and the Sierra de Guadalupe, in addition to the eastern range which is cloaked in white for a few weeks in winter.
To talk about Ensenada is to penetrate a world of hues, colors and endless adventure. For starters, a colorful tour of beautiful beaches, marinas, typically Mexican folklore and a gastronomic offering that meets international standards. People who like fishing, sailing, surfing, off road vehicles and unforgettable events like sighting whales coming down from Alaska come to the area at different times of the year. A consolidated preference has made Ensenada one of the most visited and appreciated places in the Mexican Republic.
The places of interest near Ensenada provide a wide array of alternatives: Isla de Guadalupe and diving with the white shark, Ojos de Liebre bay for whale spotting from December 15 to March 15, Ojos Negros and its unmatched production of artisanal cheese in Mexico, Tijuana with its clubbing and folklore, Mexicali with its drive and agricultural production, the beauty of Bahía de San Quintín and the saline lagoon, the world's largest salt producer at Guerrero Negro and the country's most important observatory in the San Pedro Mártir sierra.
Because of its Mediterranean climate, Ensenada produces most of the country's wines. Wine production facilities in Valle de Guadalupe, Ojos Negros and Santo Tomás include some of Mexico's most important wine makers.
Ensenada is also characterized by its world-class infrastructure, which includes a local airport, hospitals, educational facilities, research centers, museums, galleries and, of course, boutique hotels strategically located throughout the area and now the Cuatrocuatros community development as part of this complex and sensitive universe.

Working the porcelain to near paper fine thinness I am interested in seeing how delicate you can work with the porcelain while retaining its strength. The shells are made by hand pressing the clay into a mould & working to a fine finish. Once released from the mould the forms are joined together and go through the first first firing. After this firing copper oxide is applied to the edge of the shell, then back in for the high temperature firing. The porcelain becomes soft during firing & moves in reaction to the form I have made. The finished piece will depend on how the combined bowls counter balance & react to each other, becoming an unique organic form. Finally they are hand sanded in order to achieve a smooth tactile surface. A small single tea light shell sits loose inside the piece and can be used inside or separate to the piece. made from: White porcelain with copper oxide burnt into the edge. They are not food friendly due to the copper oxide edge and are unsuitable for the dishwasher. dimensions: The bowls are available in 4 different sizes Small - 110-120mm dia x 75-85mm high Medium -160-180mm dia x 100-110mm high Large - 180-230mm dia x 110-130mm high X- large - 250-300 mm dia x 140-160mm high Due to the movement of the piece during firing the size is approximate product code: 132206 2 customer reviews Sat 01 Feb 2014 The bowl is exquisite and so delicate!

text: Gr 5-8--Middle-school fiction's most unreliable narrator, Rafe Khatchadorian, better watch his back because his sister, Georgia, has a thing or three to say about his version of life in their household. While she may be as unreliable as her brother, she's equally entertaining. Georgia is about to start middle school and is nervously looking forward to it. She likes school and is a great student. Not that she's bragging, but she actually skipped a grade. If she's a bit miffed about all the chores she does, like regularly making dinner, or about all the attention Rafe gets from their overworked single mother, she doesn't show it. Much. If she thought she could enter middle school and make her own mark, she soon finds out how wrong she is when teacher after teacher screeches, "Rafe Khatchadorian's sister???" She also learns that Rafe's nemesis has a little brother and he's gunning for Georgia, as are the three princesses led by Missy. The packaging and formula of this entry in the wildly popular series are what readers have come to expect: a first-person narrative containing many moments of mayhem, misbehavior, and irreverence, heavily and humorously illustrated. Oh, and don't forget the revelation of a big secret near the end. Fans will be pleased, and new readers will easily pick up the vibe. This installment will not sit long on the shelf.--Brenda Kahn, Tenakill Middle School, Closter, NJ[Page 123]. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Example blames organisers for festival cancellations
Has the market become overcrowded?
Tue 3 Apr 2012
Has the market has become overcrowded?
It's become a tradition in the UK. With more summer festivals than anywhere else in the world, Brits look forward to the festival season almost more than the festive season.
After loading up the car with camping gear, wellies, rain coats, sun hats, wet wipes and other festival essentials, you would have thought we were going on a two week holiday, not a three day music extravaganza.
However, with the cancellation of one of our biggest rock festivals, Sonisphere, last week, does this spell the end of the now struggling festival craze?
Example thinks it does. He played at more festivals than any other artist last year and feels that the organisation behind the events is at fault and that the market has become overcrowded.
He told BBC newsbeat: "A lot were promoted badly, had bad security, were in bad locations or the line-ups hadn't been programmed well, so they didn't make sense.
"Some of them had a great theme, a great location and great line-up and the people running them knew what they were doing. And there were other ones which seemed to me were really amateur.
"There was a boom a few years ago. Every second person wherever you went was starting a festival in the UK. Anyone whose Dad owned a farm. Obviously a lot of them are starting to go under."
He does, however concede that there will always be a demand for festivals adding: "There's still a demand for people to go to festivals even with the economy and the state that it's in."
What do you think? Is the market overcrowded at the moment? Are the organisers to blame? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Hey man, I don't think so... I'm from Winnipeg myself.

There's a couple of us here in SK. I'm in Kamsack.

I made this mostly to find out if theres anyone and..... is there any events in this area?
Ah, no not really. Unless it's something you organize yourself. You'd be best to check out the Badlands garrison for the 501st. They are almost entirely out of Calgary and Edmonton though, but at least that's not the horrific drive for you that it would be for me....it's almost 4 hours for me just to drive as far as you are :(
Wow just took a look in their forums again....there has been **** all activity there lately. Then again everyone is usually pretty busy in the summer. Hopefully they aren't dying out since they're the garrison for this area.
thats slightly disapointing! Hoping there would be a few things around here for us
The garrison is alive and well, just really busy. Most are in Edmonton and Calgary, I am in Lethbridge. I would suggest registering if you haven't and get in on the discussions.
I was looking at it and im not over 18 so i cant join

American Idol – Hollywood Week / Judgment Day
Hurry up! I thought we were done with American Idol Hollywood week! Apparently we're not.
Tonight the judges are narrowing the contestants down to the top 30.
Idol drags the process out with the mean elevator ride up to the long ass walk to the chair of doom. Couldn't they have least installed an express elevator! Uhg, the process is so drawn out, set up, fake and boring but I'll do my best to recap it all for you.
Okay, let's get to it.
Attention girls and gay boys! … Spencer Lloyd! I don't think he's the next American Idol but he sure is a hot piece of boy trade to look at. The only negative thing about him is that when he sings he kinda looks like he's working overtime to push a stuck poo out. In any case, we get to see more of him because he made it thru to the top 30!
Another hottie is Sam Woolf from Boston. Cute, a little dull, but nice to look at. He played his guitar and sang an original song (that was forgettable) but he makes JLo happy so he makes it thru!
Thank God they cut Keri Lynn Roche. Keri is a good singer. Very soulful slinkity Lilith Fair-ish but not American Idol material. She wasn't my cup a tea. JLo said it was close. They did the right thing by giving her a big fat "No".
Malaya Watson. She can sing well enough but it's her potential for an amazing Idol makeover that will keep her movin' on up. I can already see the video package of her at the orthodontist getting her braces removed. And that hair! I'm sure the producers kept saying to her: "Don't change a thing! Keep the burnt straw witch hair, no make up, braces look … it's great!" Maylaya is goin' thru! Good luck tinsel teeth!
Awwwww it was nice to have a pop surprise visit from dawg Randy Jackson. Harry and Keith did a little audition song for him which was cute but whatever.
Speed it up Idol!
Bria Anai should go far. Her 'This Is A Man's World" was really good and popped her right on thru to the top 30! I'm looking forward to her Idol makeover too!
Jessica Meuse and Jesse Roach have a sing off. Both have a very lezbionic alternative look and sound which I personally don't care for very much. I like the more pop star sounding thing. In any case, Jesse sounded horrible, flat and weak and got the boot. Jessica moves on. Bye Jesse.
Dexter Roberts gives us authentic farm boy, guitar playing, country gold. He makes it in to the top 30! I don't think America will keep him around long but he could easily have a nice country music career just by the exposure he's getting by making it this far.
Uhg, Emmanuel Zidor. Awful. Too much. His antics are unappealing and not funny and his voice is shrill and piercing. The poor girl cried the minute she sat down in the chair of doom. Shut up! I can't believe they let him advance! He won't last much longer. I think he's thru because America always enjoys a good queen. It's tired, he's tired and I'm tired. Dump 'em.
MK Nobilette say's "I'm very obviously gay". She got that right. For the longest time, I thought it was a boy. I think MK is pretty in a soft lezbo sorta way. Her lezbionicals are soft, gentle and soothing. I'm glad the judges put her thru. I don't think she'll last long but hey, she's an out and proud lesbian and I think that's worth the lezbionic Idol ticket.
Pretty, and sorta dull, nurse Kristen O'Conner is a little weak vocally but makes it thru to the top 30! There's not much to say about her, which does not make her chances at making it past the top 30 very good. We'll see.
Leah Guerrero and Andrina Brogden are brought into the chair of doom together. I like Andrina. Leah, not so much. Leah's a good enough singer but doesn't have the 'umph' to be a star. The judges got this one right. Andrina goes thru to the top 30 and Leah get's the boot. Poor Leah was just so devastated and we leave her on the floor in a pool of tears.
Malcolm Allen is a good enough singer but there's just something lacking? There's a dullness about him. He makes it thru to the top 30 so we'll see if he loosens up and shows something more. Girl, you gotta bring more!
Alex Preston is a great singer and musician but sadly doesn't have the charisma or looks of a star. The Idol makeover team is gonna have to work overtime to keep this one around in front of America. I hope I'm wrong about his charisma. I'm glad the judges did the right thing and put him thru. He deserves it. He's talented. Just doesn't look like a star.
Tonights show ends in a country singer cliffhanger between CJ Harris and Casey Thrasher. Both are very similar in their style of country vocalizations. I like both of these guys and think should both go thru. I like CJ a little more then Casey but Casey is cute and I'm a sucker for cute. You think it's because I'm gay? Whatever. We'll find out tomorrow night which one goes thru.
Night Two – More of the same
Both country darlings CJ Harris and Casey Thrasher make it thru!
Wait, Marrialle Sellars was a judges fave. Why she's acting all flipped out and sure that she's not going thru … I don't understand. Her happy skip to the chair of judgement was lame but she goes thru! Duh. These set ups are getting worse.
Jena Irene Asciutto, being that you made it thru to the top 30 … can you now please just change the spelling of your name to 'Gina'!! I want her voted off just because of the way she spells her name. Uhg. So annoying!
Powerhouse Caleb Johnson made it thru but the dumb hat he wore to final judgement made me like him a little less. It was so pretentious and stupid. You have a great thing goin' on! Don't blow it with stupid wardrobe that makes you look like you're trying to hard to be cool.
Cute twink Ethan Harris makes it thru! Adorable. A little soft and frail but I like him and I'll pull for him.
Majesty Rose had some rough spots thru her audition rounds (remember, she wore the horrible fake flowers in her hair at the first audition?) but makes it thru to the top 30!
Another cutie, 15 year old Briston Maroney, makes it thru after Harry tortures him. So cute.
Briana Oakley and Brandy Neelly make it thru and I think both girls have great voices and will go far in the competition.
The set-ups and fake mean cliffhangers are getting old at this point. I cannot wait to narrow these kids down!
Okay, cute Kenzie Hall makes it thru! She's good and could go far. I said "could". There's something that's just a little too meek about her for me but like I said, she's a good singer.
Austin Wolfe and Sandie Lee go into final judgement together. Sandie gets the boot … Austin goes thru. It's so gross when two contestants go in together and one makes it thru and the other doesn't. It's mean.
Ben Briley and Neco Starr are the last contestants left. If that isn't nerve racking enough … these two boys have to wait to know if they're going thru because for the first time in Idol history, it's up to America to decide which one goes thru. You can cast your vote at AmericanIdol.com or the Idol App.
So there you have my dear loves. We are now down to the top 30!!
Please leave comments below and let me know what you think of the contestants that did or didn't make it thru. Tell me who you think can go far and who your favorite contestant is.
Oh, I just love you,

Yosemite To Chop Down Thousands of Trees To Preserve Iconic Views
Posted By Jessica Dailey On July 27, 2011 @ 10:04 am In Design,Eco Tourism,Environment,environmental destruction,Landscape Architecture | 5 Comments
Yosemite National Park [1] is right up there with the Grand Canyon [2] and the Rocky Mountains when it comes to awe-inspiring landscapes in America. The park's striking cliffs, waterfalls, and towering forests have been captured by dozens of iconic photographers, and every year, millions of visitors traipse through the wilderness to recreate these images for themselves. But it's been more than 70 years since Ansel Adams [3] captured Yosemite's beauty and needless to say, nature changes. Nature changes so much, in fact, that the park's most sought-after views are being obstructed by nature itself. The park's solution? Chop down thousands of trees to let those cameras [4] keep on clicking.
Image © Amanda Walker [6] via Creative Commons
Wildlife officials at the park say that the problem trees are Yosemite's iconic ponderosa pines [7] and cedars, which grow tall and fast, choking out other trees and overtaking meadows. The cause, ironically, is a lack of fires in the park. Before Abraham Lincoln set aside the land of Yosemite for protection in 1864, fires set by Native Americans or ignited by lightning kept a natural balance between the oak trees, pines, and grass meadows. But for more than 150 years now, we've been putting out those natural wildfires, and the massive trees have grown unnaturally thick and are taking away the park's historic views.
The National Parks Service [8] says that the views need to be preserved, just like historic buildings [9] and wildlife refuges. However, the decision has perplexed and angered park goers, environmentalists, and even photographers, who don't understand why you would kill part of a magnificent natural landscape just for the sake of a photo op. When all is said and done, about 1000 evergreen trees are expected to be chopped, some that are more than 30 inches round and 100 feet tall.
Park officials have spent more than three years studying Yosemite's 181 scenic vista spots, and found that in 28 percent of the locations, the view was completely obscured, and in 54 percent it was partially blocked. The park's ideal solution calls for removing or thinning trees in 93 of the locations over the next ten years. Cutting would begin in 2012 and only take place in September and October, which is after bird nesting season, but before bat hibernation [10] begins. No trees older than 130 years would be cut.
"We are looking to remove the minimum number of trees in the most ecologically sensitive ways," said Kevin McCardle [11], a historical landscape architect at Yosemite. "We have to find a balance because we are preserving these places for the enjoyment of the public and future generations. Enjoyment means allowing people to connect with nature. But you have to be able to see it."
Next month, the park will release its official "Scenic Vista Management Plan," outlining the full details.

LGBT And Allies Membership Group Rocks The Baltimore Convention
The LGBT and Allies Membership Group had an active – and very productive – time at the 2016 NSCAA convention in Baltimore.
A "Breaking the Silence" workshop explored the many ways coaches can create safe, welcoming environments for all athletes. More than 100 participants heard an all-star panel that included Robby Rogers of the LA Galaxy, the 1st openly gay male team sport athlete in North Athlete; Anson Dorrance, legendary University of North Carolina and US Women's National Team coach; Nevin Caple, LGBTQ activist, and Atticus DeProspo, former out player at Cornell University. The event was moderated by ESPN's Kate Fagan.
Dorrance spoke strongly of the need for all athletes to feel comfortable with their teammates and coaches. He stressed that his team's core values include celebration of all diversity, and noted that they discuss those values explicitly twice a year. Rogers cited the importance of the casual but warm acceptance by his own teammates and coaches. DeProspo said he was inspired to come out by Rogers' example. Caple added that while every athlete and situation is different, the need for support is constant. Wells Fargo sponsored the high-powered event.
The LGBT and Allies membership group also held a "Roundtable" discussion in Baltimore, participated in the NSCAA's membership group social, and discussed plans for the coming year. Upcoming projects include:
- Adding diversity training to all coaching courses
- Reaching out to allies, and offering them tangible ways to declare their support for LGBTQ coaches and players
- Planning for the 2017 convention, with a big name in attendance, an interactive workshop, networking events and more
- Providing safe space for LGBTQ coaches and players – including support, as needed
- Learning, participating and belonging (and having fun!)
The LGBT and Allies Membership Group always welcomes new members. If you'd like to get involved – or want to know more – please email email@example.com.

I'm not sure why this should be an issue for the NSCAA. Who cares if someone is gay?
You're exactly right. It doesn't make a difference if someone is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (LGBTQ). We're simply providing resources for LGBTQ athletes and coaches – and all allies – so that everyone who plays soccer is assured of all the support they'll need. All coaches want to do the right thing for all athletes – but they don't always know how. This information will help all LGBTQ coaches and athletes feel more comfortable, which means they'll perform better. It will also help all "straight ally" coaches help them – becoming better, more successful coaches in the process.
A player on my team just came out to me. I hope I said the right things, but I'm not sure. What should I do next?
Congratulations – that's a great first step. You should feel honored that your player trusts you enough to share such deeply personal information. Now, moving forward, you should realize that this does not affect how you or anyone else sees the player as a part of your team. Your athlete is still the same person and player they were before. You just know a bit more about them – and one of the keys to coaching is understanding each athlete as an individual.
Depending on your relationship with the player, you may ask if it is something they want to talk about further. Don't ask for specific details or information unless they're offered. Remain supportive throughout; let the player know how much you appreciate their confidence in you, how happy you are that they've been so honest and open, reaffirm that you're always available for any necessary support.
Be sure not to mention this to anyone else – unless the player says it's okay. Coming out is a liberating, but scary, process. Once the words are spoken, there's no taking them back.
One of our players used the word "faggot." Another said something was "gay." Should I have responded? If so, how?
The key here is to address it quickly – in the moment – and then move on. Unfortunately, those words have become part of the conversational landscape. You can simply say, "That's not appropriate language. I don't want to hear it again." Treat it the same as you would any other derogatory words. Don't give it extra-special attention – but don't let it slide.
I suspect one of my players is a lesbian. Should I say something to her?
Absolutely not. Sexuality is a very personal matter. It's hard for teenagers – and even for those in their early twenties – to talk about sexuality with adults. Your athlete may come to you with this – but if she doesn't, do not try to bring it up.
Besides, why do you "suspect" she is a lesbian? People are often stereotyped by the way they act or dress. Gay and lesbian people may look and act a certain way – or they may not. It's the same with straight people. Labeling someone can limit them and you – and diminish your effectiveness as a coach.
I really want to be a straight ally. What can I do?
That's great! You should be strong and forceful – but don't overdo it. You might want to add a sentence or two to your "welcome" letter to parents and players, or mention something at your first team meeting. Say how proud you are to have a diverse team, and that one of the keys to success is acceptance of everyone. Do not single out sexual orientation; race, religion, ethnicity, economic background – all are equally important.
Part of me wants to come out to my team as gay, but another part tells me I'd be crazy. Should I come out? If so, what's the best way to do it?
This really depends on your personal situation – and only you can judge that. How old are your players? Are they mature enough to process that information? Why are you telling them? Is it relevant? How are the parents?
If you do come out, be sure to do so in a positive way. Don't sound defensive or worried. Emphasize that just as you expect them to be honest and act with integrity, you're doing the same.
You should come out on your own timetable, in a way that feels comfortable to you. In this day and age, many people will be accepting – even congratulatory. But a few may not. You can't worry about them. That's their problem – not yours.
The mother of a player I'm recruiting have hinted that they're looking for a team with no homosexual players. How should I handle this?
This is an unfortunate situation – though it may not be explicit. A good comment is, "In my program, I recruit the best players in order to form the best team. We don't worry about race, religion, sexual orientation or anything else. Everyone is welcome." It's hard to argue against a coach who uses skill and ability as the first criteria.
The parents of a player I'm recruiting lives with another woman. How should I handle this?
Use the terms "you and your partner" or "your mother and her partner." And follow the player's lead.
I want to create a positive, inclusive environment for all players, but I don't understand what it means to be transgender.
The first thing to understand is the basic terminology used to discuss gender. A person's "sex" is determined most often at birth; it's based on physical sex characteristics. A person's "gender" refers to their self-perception – how they identify mentally and emotionally. The term "transgender" refers to people whose gender identity or expression does not match their physical sex characteristics, or does not fit within social norms. No one can assign a gender identity to another person. We all define our own gender, and our definitions are as diverse as we all are.
Like all athletes, transgender soccer players benefit from positive environments where people are encouraged to be themselves, and where hurtful language and stereotypes are challenged. Gender is often a fraught topic, particularly in sports. There are clear social norms for what it means to be a "boy," "girl," "man," or "woman." People not fitting into these "boxes" are often stigmatized. For example, a boy who is called a "sissy" receives the message that he is "less than" a male. This affects every athlete – not just transgender ones. You can support all players by stepping in whenever anyone uses a gender stereotype. Make it clear that every person is worthwhile, and all are welcome.
I understand the need to respect all different types of people, but my religion teaches me that homosexuality is wrong. Now I have a gay player. Help!
Your role is to coach your soccer team, and be a leader in that respect. Your personal religious beliefs should no more enter the soccer field than your political views. You wouldn't tell your players who to vote for, right?
You have every right to subscribe to whatever religious (and political) views you wish. But your players are entitled to theirs too. Live your life according to your beliefs – but don't let those beliefs infringe on others (especially those who are young and impressionable, and over whom you hold a certain degree of power and authority). As long as your athletes are good people, that's all that matters.
This becomes more difficult when you are a coaching at a religious institution. But bear in mind that LGBTQ athletes may have been told they are sinners by many adults. There is no need for you to add to that burden.
As noted above, players who feel comfortable being themselves are more likely to commit more fully to their team – and perform better. That makes the coach look better too!
A player on my team is uncomfortable sharing our locker room with a gay athlete. Any advice?
This is not the gay player's problem – it's his teammate's. You could say, "We're not comfortable sharing a locker room with someone who is prejudiced against others. If you feel this way, perhaps you should change somewhere else." Chances are good that the player will quickly rejoin his friends in the team locker room.

My Betta has a rust colour on gill covers!
2 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone, I hope your fish are all happy and healthy :-)
My Betta, Rocky was itching himself by rubbing on everything in his aquarium a few weeks ago so I thought it might have been Velvet and medicated him accordingly.
He also had tail rot but that seems to have slowed down completely now that he isn't itchy. Anyway, I'm here because he now has some sort of rust colour on his gill covers which isn't spreading but still worries me some. He isn't depressed and he's an extremely happy, vibrant fishie, though he does sleep a lot at the moment but I'm assuming it's because he's recovering?
I've attached some pictures of him, it's hard to see the rust colour because he is dark, he has also turned a really light blue under his mouth/chin area :-?
Merry Christmas everyone! :wave:
Most likely ick, not velvet.
Velvet is a somewhat rare.
It's absolutely NOTHING to worry about.
But the finrot is caused by being subjected to dirty water, so change it more often, keep your betta in 78+ water & your bettas fins should heal on it's own.
My bettas tank
2 Attachment(s)
The tank he is in is actually the med tank, I don't know gallons but I know it's 8 litres.
His actual tank is 35 litres so it's a decent size, it has a base filter and a slow smooth water flow and is also heated.
here is a pick of both tanks. (His actual tank is green because of the medication in the water)
I do a 50% change once a week and use aq salt and water conditioner and check his ph as well.
I do a full change once a month and he is kept in his ideal temp of 26-27c (78-80f)
I forgot to mention earlier, he got the rust colour around the time he was itchy and every now and then he appears to gasp after waking.
8L = 2 gallons
35L = 9 gallons
Try to get a timer so the tank's lights turns on at a specific time. Your betta is probably sleeping when you switch on the light, so of course it's going to act weird for for a few minutes till it wakes up.
This is what my 10G looks like....
**Notice the wine glass with the dark blue betta in there? That's my hospital tank.
See if you can find some dried oak or Indian Almond Leaves. I'm not sure what kind of hardwood trees are in your country.
Your water change schedule sound about right, but stop adding salt to your NEW tank water. Conditioner & matching the temperature is all you need. Salt is NOT necessary unless your fish is truly sick.

Synonyms: type I AG, arabino-3,6-galactan
|all carbohydrates → a carbohydrate → a glycan → a polysaccharide → an arabinogalactan → a plant arabinogalactan
Arabinogalactans (AGs) are widely spread throughout the plant kingdom. Many edible and inedible plants are rich sources of these polysaccharides. AGs are associated with the pectin cell-wall component by physical bonds, and some of them are covalently linked to the complex pectin molecule as neutral side chains [Ebringerova05].
AGs occur in two structurally different forms described as type I and type II.
AG type II, known as arabino-3,6-galactan, has a (1→3)-β-D-Galp backbone heavily substituted at position 6 by mono- and oligosaccharide side chains composed of arabinosyl and galactosyl units. It is more widespread than the AG type I and occurs in cell walls of dicots and cereals often linked to proteins (known as arabinogalactan proteins). AG type II, along with galactomannans and cellulose, comprises the predominating polysaccharides of green arabica coffee beans [Fischer01]. In some case type II AGt contains a small amount of β-glucuronate.
AG type II occurs as minor, water-soluble components in softwoods. It is very abundant in the wood of larch trees (members of the genus Larix) - certain parts of the western larch ( Larix occidentalis) contain up to 35% AG [Whistler93]. However, larch AG type II is located in the lumen of the tracheids and ray cells, and is thus not a cell-wall component and by definition, not part of the hemicellulose of these trees.

Aaron Ward on CJ: Ouch!
posted at 4/17/2011 12:56 AM EDTJust saw a video of a panel discussion on TSN where Aaron Ward (now TSN "analyst") described Julien as projecting his own chaotic management style onto the entire team. He was not very specific in his comments, but coming from a recent Bruins player with credibility this statement has to hurt. And I bet Ward keeps in contact with some of his former teammates and his assessment reflects the current situation. I've been one to think that PC has done a good job rebuilding the Bs, but if Ward's comments are true and PC has not picked up on this prior to this year he has made a serious mistake. We never herd Lou Lamoriello's full explanation as to why he had fired CJ despite a winning record.
Re: Aaron Ward on CJ: Ouch!
posted at 4/17/2011 1:34 AM EDTThis issue was brought up by the Boston media earlier in the season that there were several players not on the same page as Claude. PC is married to Julien n has been he picked up Peverley and Kelly to replace Wheeler and a better offensively talented Seguin. Chiarelli also took the coaches judgment that Boychuk n McQuaid were ahead of Stuart on the depth chart.
So if the Bruins are eliminated then the clock starts on PC being on the hot seat. What works in PCs favor is Kelly, Peverley and Boychuk are moveable contracts, the 9th overall pick then spending Kaberle's money on better players under a non-restrictive coach. My other prayer for the offseason would be Slats letting Tortorella go.
I'm not giving up on the series or angry but that's just how I see the offseason shaping out if the Bruins can't come back.
