the last time I posted i received some criticism and studied up and hopefully I have improved my form, but i'll let you guys be the judge if you will.
I would recommend you put the power cleans to the side for now and start with Clean High Pulls & Clean Pulls. They're much easier to learn & will help you get the proper sequencing of movement.
how would i work those lifts into an SS style workout? Normally the power clean would be on the non DL days, would it be possible to do these lifts on the same day? I usually add pull ups into each workout as well if that matters

Like the others said you need to break it down into parts. High pulls, and front squats will be important for you. You have trouble keeping the bar close to your body when performing the lift, fire your hips and the bar should start going up close to your body and then drop under it, also you need to shoot your elbows up more after catching it. do a bunch of reps with the just the bar or a broomstick, thats how most learn.

Ya I'd drop the power cleans for a while. There are other more important things to address. Also, I'd ask why you are doing power cleans. If you don't ever plan on competing in weightlifting , your time is better spent on other things.
1)How's your deadlift? Video would be nice.
2)are you front squatting? You don't look like you have the flexibility to complete a clean safely.
3)if your intent on doing cleans, break the movement down to simpler pieces(deadlift,rdl,power shrug,clean pull,high pull, etc)
I personally don't think full cleans and even doing a lot of power cleans has enough rewards for the risks. Lower body power can be built better with deadlifts, and upper body power can be built better with a combination of pulls, shrugs, and hang cleans used sparingly.
If you do want some pointers on your clean:
Your backside isn't low enough at the start. It should be leg drive beginning the jerk
Your arms aren't perpendicular to the floor they're slanting back towards the legs. You want them straight down and locked out
Your head is too far forward over the bar at the start. Move back while your butt is back, with your head over the bar looking forwards.
The bar isn't travelling close enough to the body during the clean. the path of least resistance is closest to your body and centre of gravity.
You straighten the back too early, and pull with it too much. The legs should drive the accelaration of the jerk, the back starightens in a fluid motion with the momentum of the bar.
You don't take the strain and keep the shoulders back before starting
You jerk with the arms too much during the movement. the elbows should be back and assisting the momentum of the bar being driven upwards, pulling the bar in to the body.
Your feet shouldn't come off the floor. You end up on your toes at the fully extended position. My WL coach used to say this was the point where the floor was furthest from the bar; i.e. you're pushing the floor away from the bar not the bar into the air. Grnated with light weights it's easy for this to happen, but there's nothing as bad as having absolutely no solid base with a heavy barbell flying through the air.
The bar is coming too far away from the body during the second pahse of the clean. Remember to keep it close.
The bar ends too high and your elbows are too low in the top position. When receiving the bar, you already have it at the top position... you should be dipping to receive not pulling up with the arms. the arms here pull the bar round as you dip to receive, you should not pull up the bar.
This is what I would make sure of when doing the clean
1. At the bottom ensure you sit into the floor, and the arms are at 90 degrees to the floor.
2. Pull the shoulders and head up, take the strain of the bar in the legs, shoulders, arms and back should be straight or slightly arches back.
3. When beginning the drive do not dip first, keep the arms straight and drive with the legs directly up. Keep the back at the same angle to the floor.
4. At the top pull the back straight with the momentum, and drive the floor away with the toes.
5. At the second stage of the clean the bar is jerked with the body extension and from the thighs. The elbows should be kept back and during the dip driven around the bar. Dip to the receiving position, do not pull the bar up to it. The arms should pull the bar bar.
6. Regain with the legs.
During the movement the head should be kept up and you face forward. Do not allow the back to extend or the shoulders to drop. And do not pull with an explosive back movement. The whole 3 parts (drive, second drive and regain) should make one smooth movement with the bar staying as close to the body as possible. the whole movement should make an inverted 'J' shape when viewed from the side. /the bar wants to travel in a straight line from the ground to the top position.
Don't fret there's loads to remember on this movement. A C&J is a very fine tuned movement, the clean taking the most practice, and it takes a lot of practice (and if I'm honest a decent coach).
can't find any side shot videos myself, but if you want to see absolutely perfect form on this, search for my favourite lifter of all time - the Bulgarian Georgi Markov (Galabin is also superb to watch).
thank you for the detailed advice! I think after each workout I'm just going to practice the motions with the empty bar for a few sets and record and analyze some more.
In the mean time I think I'll sub in Pendlay Rows into my actual workout

Am I 4 weeks?
Ok, I am 17 years old. On the 10th of August my boyfriend was leaving for College and we had unprotected sex. It is now September 12th(33 days later) and I still haven't come on my period. Usually I come on at the very beggining of the month. I've taken 3 pregnancy tests that all came out negative. Technically due to the 28-35 day cycle thing I'm supposed to come on this friday. If I am preggy, I'd be 4 weeks. When I lay down at night I have mild cramping, like Im about to come on my period but I don't. Throughout the day I sometimes get this weird feeling in my tummy that feels like Im on a rollercoaster. I have like little feelings ( dont know how to describe) running through the middle of my stomach. Somehow to me, it feels like the inside of my tummy there's something there and it feels hot. Like its a prescence. Also I've been sleepy and bloated, but I have no other symptoms. Could I be pregnant? Please help

i concieved on August 11 and i am about 5 weeks, and i was bearly able to get a positrive on the results this week, you should try again this week, if you are still getting a negitive you should proably call your doctor! hope that helps. i get all the same things as you, i get the weird cramps like i'm going to start my period, i actually called my OB today and asked if they were ok and they said that was completly normal and not to worry.posted 09/13/2007 by edrollins
I am 5 weeks pregnant and i was and still am having the same fillings as you are small cramps, extremely sleepy,and just have that weird feeling! I took a test one day before my missed period and it said no, i took one 3 days after my missed period and it still said no,so three days ago i took another one right after i got up in the morning and i had a very light line and so i went to the store and got two other tests one digital and one regular one they both came back yes....so you might just keep testing , but i would say to go get a digital one because it will tell you for sure! hope everything gos well!posted 09/19/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I just found out I'm pregnant with baby #3...I have an (almost) 3 year old and a 16 month old! Needless to say, it came as a surprise. Anyway, I have found that the digital tests - the ones that say "pregnant" or "not pregnant" work the best. I highly recommend using one of those. I was about 9 days late when I used it, and it was positive - so I am about 4 weeks along. It sounds like you are having symptoms like I am....the cramping, roller coaster feeling...yes, those are signs. And the sleepiness and bloatedness are symptoms also. Sooo...best of luck to you! ;)posted 09/28/2007 by cwgrlangel
i concieved august 20 a couple days after my period ended. My boyfriend kept telling me "your pregnant i know it" so i took test after test getting negative results.i started feeling period cramp but no period. Finally i decided to stop waisting money on take home test and go to the doctors. The pee can lie but the blood can't. Sure enough i am 5 wks pregnant.posted 09/21/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
Wow. It sounds like you might be pregnant. you should take a digital pregnancy test and see for sure. You should also go to the doctors to make sure there is nothing going on that you dont need. Infections can cause a lift in temp as well as pregnant. go get checked out. =)posted 09/15/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a similar thing happen. I was due for my period Sept 20 and I was 3 days late so I went to the store with my husband and bought 2 prego tests. I took one as soon as I got home. I was thinking that it would say negative but it didn't. I had the same feeling you do. I would get really really light headed and I am still getting the cramps. NOt bad ones though. I read that it is your ligaments stretching. I am so tired all the time its insane. Call your doctor. I am sure they will be able to test you and you'll be at ease. Good luck....posted 09/25/2007 by mrsmwatson
My suggestion is to go to the walk in clinic and get a blood test. Then you can be sure. Pregnancy test using your urine can give you false negatives.posted 09/24/2007 by lynaes
That's how it was for me when I found out I was pregnant.I had taken pregnancy test multiple times during the month. I took a test on Monday the 10th and it was negative, I took another test on Friday the 14th and I was pregnant.posted 09/28/2007 by skaterbetsy
I'm about 4 or 5 weeks pregnant. I still feel all of these symptoms. I found out I was pregnant on the 19th of September. The line on the at home pregnancy test was really light (I could barely see it), but still a positive. I took another pregnancy test on the friday after that and the line was a lot darker then before. After getting my blood tested, the result was a deffinatly a positive. I think you should try taking 2 more pregnancy tests, one at the beginning of the week, then one at the end. If there is still no period and no positive result on the test, call you're doctor for help.posted 09/24/2007 by Misty11688
i am about 4 weeks prego and i was taking a number of tests before one finally came up positive. but i have the same feelings...im very tired and feel like my period is going to start but then it goes away and i dont start. You're probablly pregnant. but thats wonderful because babies are truly a miracle. Good luck and congrats!!posted 09/23/2007 by happymommy2786

Subject: Baby Grace
Dear Mike,
Thank you for asking about Baby Grace.
Baby Grace is doing fantastically well and she is definitely an unbelievable blessing to all of us here at Grace House. She is wonderfully healthy and happy. She has grown so much that I don't think that Carolyn would ever recognize her as she is today. Grace is one of those children that are so huggable that whenever we have visitors come by Grace House they are compelled to pick her and play with her. It doesn't matter whether or not they are children or adults, Ugandan or Overseas visitors when you see her you just have to snuggle with her. Of course I am in no way biased in any way shape or form.
Baby Grace's Story
Late one Wednesday afternoon in June of 2009, when Rev. Buro and I were returning to Hoima from Kampala, I received a phone call from the Local Council LC-3 Chairman in Nalweyo informing me that they had just taken a very small and emaciated baby, who had been thrown-away in the bush, to Perugia's. He asked us to please accept this baby because the town had no other options. The LC-3 went on to stress that the baby was very small and in extremely bad condition.
I immediately called John at Peregiya's and asked him to borrow or rent a motorcycle as soon as possible to bring the Baby to the AZUR Christian Health Center for treatment and care. When John and the baby arrived at the AZUR I was extremely concerned at the tiny size and emaciated condition of the baby. The staff at the AZUR began treatment immediately and on Thursday morning I brought the baby to Grace House so that for Mary could care for her. For over a week we took the baby back to the clinic for treatment twice each day.
We didn't know how old the baby was, but everyone at the clinic thought that she was about two weeks old. The one thing that was absolutely certain was that she was horribly dehydrated, starved and helpless. I gave made up a birthday for her so she would have one (3 June 2009)
The first day we received her we were all certain that there was no possibility that she would live through the week. However, because we have an unbelievably loving and all powerful God, He chose to heal her and He has chosen to allow Grace to become a part of our Grace House family.
We have gone to court and now Mary is Grace's court assigned guardian until the age of 18; and more than likely within two years Mary will be allowed to formally to adopt Baby Grace.
I have attached several of my favorite photos of Baby Grace.
Yours in Jesus,

Subject: hummers
About the Hummers.
This time of year most hummers migrate back to central America where they winter. People in the know tell us that before the hummers make the 800 mile over water trip they stop here and bulk up if you can imagine a humming bird bulking up by adding 25% to their body weight, so while they are here they EAT.
It used to be a more arduous trip than it is now because we understand that most of the oil platforms now put up feeders so the hummers can make a pit stop.
The ones from the eastern US all seem to come through this area (Rockport TX), the ones in the west are more spread out and don't have to gain the weight. While we were in Arizona they were noticeable as the came through but it was spread out and they did not stay long.
A few of the little guys will stay all year but the vast majority will be gone in a week or so. After they leave we keep one feeder up outside the kitchen window as long as it is used. The last bird we see is usually in January sometime. When they come back in the spring our first sign is one coming to the kitchen window telling us it's time to put out some grub.

Thanks so much for the communication and the kind and generous offer to help. I presently have only my iPhone (no computer), making replies to emails a bit more difficult.We have very fine resources with family and friends close by. The outpouring of love, prayers, and help has been amazing and deeply appreciated by Carolyn and me. The following is a paste of my most recent Facebook post. I will spare the details for now and hopefully provide the short version of this drama when we meet at the SOC60 reunion.
Friends: The interior of the house is a total loss. The blessing is, nearly all framing (studs etc.) are intact, and there is no damage to the roof. We will rebuild the entire interior including all electrical, heat & air, windows and doors. We loved it the way we bought it, but a complete remodel will be fun to do.
Since our house in Nac is still on the market, we left most of our furniture in it for showing. We brought to Denton the things we were able to pack in boxes during the past few months. Most were still taped and packed when the fire came. Some faired well, some require special cleaning, and some are badly damaged or destroyed. (BTW, the Denton Firemen were great). ServePro picked up more than 40 boxes to take to their hand-cleaning facility, but one large heap of wet and charred keepsakes remains. We will search through that today (see Carolyn standing near the mess on FB).
We are so very thankful for friends and family and so many offers for help. We have very good insurance, and a competent restoration contractor is already hired. A temporary furnished house will be provided. The restoration should take 6-8 months.
Meanwhile, Dear Friends, thank you for being in touch and for your prayers and kindness.

Thank all of you for the continued support you have chosen to provide for five of the children who had been residents of the Peragiya Integrated Baby's Home. I only wish that each one of you had the opportunity of seeing and talking with each one of them. I know that you would be humbled by the opportunity that you have given to them and I know that you would be just as proud of them as I am.
As you may recall from one of my earlier e-mails God, through good friends in the UK has enabled us to make some significant improvements to all of our three Church Sponsored school here in Duhaga.
1. We have just completed constructing a large, beautiful, new combination Assembly Hall & P-1 classroom building at Duhaga Girl's Primary School. The old building was quite literally falling down and one wing of the building was condemned and blocked off by the Ministry of Education because the Roof beams had been eaten through by termites. Note: A year and a half ago this school celebrated its first 100 years of continuous operation.
2. We have just finished completely re-painting the exterior of all of the building that makeup the Duhaga Boy's Primary School and it really does look fantastic. Additionally, I was able to provide the school with a jerry can of liquid detergent and a dozen scrub brushes; and the students are working to completely scrub clean all of the interior walls. We are working very hard to make certain that this school will look like new for its Centennial Celebration which will take place next month.
3. Last but certainly not least we have just completed the construction of a large, beautiful, new multi-purpose Hall for the Canon Njangali Senior Secondary Girl's School.
And! Thanks be to the love of God and a very good friend in the US last Wednesday, Rev. Godfrey Buro and I traveled to Kampala to finalize the purchase of a beautiful, newly reconditioned Ambulance for our AZUR Christian Health Center.
You may recall from previous e-mails that several months ago we were able to hire a very good new Doctor/Surgeon to work with our Maternity Program and Surgical Theater/Ward. This new addition is working fantastically well and we are performing many of the Maternal C-Sections and Problem Deliveries that would have been handled at the Hoima Regional Referral Hospital.
Probably the most graphic statistic that I can give you regarding how well things are going has to do with C-Section Recoveries. Typically, if a woman delivers by C-Section at the Hoima Regional Referral Hospital she can expect to be in the hospital for 3 to 6 weeks due to various healing problems. However, the woman who delivers her new baby by C-Section at the AZUR Christian Health Center is typically able to be discharged in three days.
Once again thank each one of you for all of your support and prayers.
Please know that most certainly I will be thinking of you all as you come together next month for our 50th Reunion. Please don't forget to send me a bunch of Photos of everyone!
Yours in Jesus,

Tissue paper flowers, banners, rainbow chalkboards, and loads of glitter adorn the walls of many elementary classrooms. While these classroom décor ideas provide hours of entertainment on Pinterest, they probably shouldn't go any further than a wishful "Pinboard."
A new study, published in Psychological Science, found that children in highly decorated classrooms are more distracted and make smaller learning gains compared to a minimally decorated classroom.
Children's visual environments can affect how much they learn, researchers explain. Therefore, it's important to maintain focused attention in the classroom since young children usually spend the entire day in that environment.
For the study, 24 kindergarten students were placed in classrooms for six introductory science lessons over the course of 2 weeks. Three lessons were taught in a heavily decorated classroom, and three lessons were taught in a sparse classroom.
The decorated classroom was furnished with décor commonly found in classroom such as science posters, maps, and children's art works. In the sparse classroom condition, all materials irrelevant to the instruction were removed.
The researchers also measured off-task behavior, such as talking to their peers, in both conditions. They were interested in finding if children's attention would shift to another distraction once the visual displays were removed.
The results showed that children learned in both classroom conditions; however, they learned more when the room was not heavily decorated. Children's accuracy on the test questions was higher in the sparse classroom (55 percent correct) than the decorated classroom (42 percent).
Children also spend more time off-task in the decorated classroom (38.6 percent) compared to the sparse classroom (28.4 percent).
The researchers suggest instead of removing all classroom decorations, teachers should consider whether the visuals serve a purpose to learning and how distracting each display may be to young children.
Furthermore, visuals that also serve as interactive teaching tools may boost young children's memory skills and learning (similar to the map in the picture above). Teachers – you may want to consider a minimalistic, yet relevant, classroom design for the next school year.

A different thread sparked my curiosity. How popular was your name the year you were born? BBC has a list of the most popular names for each year so go search it!
In 1989, my name (Jessica) was #1. Big shocker haha I know a ridiculous number of Jessicas.
The same year, DH's name (Cody) was #45.

BALTIMORE – One night after he earned the victory at Camden Yards, David Robertson struck out the side in his inning of work tonight against the Orioles – another 10-inning affair, though this one ended in a Yankee defeat.
Before the game, Robertson was asked about his organization, High Socks For Hope, and its commitment to helping those who were impacted by the tornados that impacted his town of Tuscaloosa, Ala.
It all hit home again with the events of Monday near Oklahoma City.
"It's terrible to see that. It looks like they almost got hit worse," Robertson said. "They lost homes, they lost loved ones…and it's just a really difficult time for everyone to go through."
Robertson's foundation has also helped assist those impacted by Superstorm Sandy, and he's teamed with the Mets' Ike Davis to co-host a fundraiser on July 17 at the Bethpage Black golf course on Long Island.
"We're doing as good as we can. We're a very small (organization)," Robertson said. "The more we can grow, the more families we can reach out to."

Old School is the New CoolLiz Stanley
Lately, we've been loving everything vintage school house inspired. So when we stumbled upon these abc canvas floor cushions, naturally we oohed and awed and immediately moved them to the top of our holiday want list. Charming and super practical; we love the idea of stacking these in the corner of the room to grab for company and family game nights, or just to wrestle around with the kids. Those handles on the corners make them perfect for transporting easily too!
Keep reading to find out where to buy them!

CITRA, Fla. (AP) --
Five siblings were killed in a fire that erupted at a home in central Florida.
Neighbors heard screaming Monday night (11-8) and ran outside to see a house engulfed in flames. The children's mother, Krista Jordan, and
another relative escaped through a window, but the children were
trapped inside. Three brothers, ages 15, 13 and 8; and two sisters,
ages 12 and 6, were killed in the blaze. Their 21-year-old aunt,
Kyla Cole, was severely burned.
The fire does not appear to be suspicious, but the State Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the cause.

Trine is a beautiful fantasy action platformer with a fairytale-like atmosphere, following the journey of three heroes - a Wizard, a Knight and a Thief - in a quest to save the kingdom from evil. The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics - each character's different abilities and tactics can be used to invent new ways to battle an army of undead and overcome obstacles, and restore the balance of the world.
If you have ever wanted to mod Trine or develop your own epic platform adventure you can now do just that.
Whilst there is little supporting documentation at the moment, the Frozenbyte guys have given the full in house tools they used to make the games, here's what they say.
Frozenbyte wrote: The reason we've held off releasing the editor to the public before has been quite simple. It's pretty difficult to use if you don't know what you're doing, and there's *very* little documentation or tooltips.
The Frozenbyte Editor is a very diverse tool. This is what we use to make games like Trine and Trine 2, and it's based entirely on our own technology. You can now edit existing maps, make new maps and do all kinds of things with it. If this sounds like fun, go a head and play with the features and experiment!
So did we make an easy-to-use version for everyone to enjoy? The answer to that is…not really :) Instead we've opened a wiki page and provided some very basic instructions on how to use our editor. It's an open wiki after you've registered, so anyone can edit and post information, and we hope that people will start to share their knowledge with everyone. We'll also be updating the wiki ourselves and tracking that all the instructions are correct and up-to-date.
So what are you waiting for follow these instructions and jump in.

Hi guys, Joel here, sorry for the absence! I've updated the price of the game so it's now $9.99 as it's elsewhere too - if anyone just bought the game at the earlier price let me know and we can think of something.
Is there no linux demo? :(
Indeed there is none. We probably won't release a Linux demo due to a few reasons... Sorry! (But we will do so for Trine 2 eventually.)
I can't get the sound to work in Trine 1. Beyond that, I bought Trine 2 and it doesn't even have native 64bit binaries. I have to say, although I appreciate the Linux support thus far, I'm rather disappointed in the quality of the Linux releases from Frozenbyte.
Yeah the 64-bit binaries were discussed in the Trine 2 page (in short for everyone else: some of the middleware we use does not yet have 64-bit available so we're a bit stuck, although not forever possibly but no promises yet).
The sound is more curious - you can either check the forums ( Frozenbyte.com ) or send an email ( Frozenbyte.com ) and we can see. Oh and the old Linux FAQ might help too: Frozenbyte.com
Thanks, I didn't see that FAQ site. It looks like my problem is on there, so I'll try fixing it when I get back to the computer that it was acting up on.
I fixed it. I had my .asoundrc file incorrectly configured. I use JACK, so I honestly should have the burden of figuring it out.
There was some talk about the missing sound in the troubleshooting section of the forum, but unfortunately I can't seem to find it... Your best bet would be to contact Frozenbyte support crew.
I've just finished it at linux version.
Great graphics. Good controls.
Amazing music.
Simply lovely. I encourage the buy.
Play at Linux is posible. Thanks a lot, frozenbyte.
I was disappointed and surprised that the Linux version doesn't support multiplayer using KB&mouse, yet the Windows version does. Hopefully Trine 2 will do it. I would be totally fine with using xinput in terminal to setup the KB&mouse pairs, though a gui tool could easily simplify this.
Yeah I think we use Windows-specific libraries for that, RawMouse or something, which isn't available for Linux. Trine 2 uses SDL all the way I believe, and I think it works in Linux too (not 100% sure though).
Highest Rated (5 agree) 9/10
Trine was fun, one of the few newer games that I actually completed =P. I haven't tried the co-op splitscreen mode yet, but I will during my second playthrough. It's a really beautiful platform game where you will solve different types of puzzles with different character, who has different abilities. There's some bonuses along the way that I like, find hidden items for example, gives you another reason to replay. Good Game!

- Klis: Recent notes and comments from the National Football League
If Broncos fans hadn't been aware of Tony Carter before the Oct. 15, come-from-behind victory at San Diego, they surely must have been afterward.
Carter helped spark a historic second-half rally in that Monday night game by returning a fumble 65 yards for a touchdown with 4:41 remaining in the third quarter. That became the sixth-longest fumble return in Broncos history and pulled Denver to within 10 points (24-14). The Broncos went on to a 35-24 victory after trailing 24-0 at halftime.
"That was a great night," Carter recalled last week.
The native Floridian also intercepted a pass in the game — the first of his NFL career — to become only the 14th player in team history to intercept a pass and recover a fumble in the same game.
"I just did what I could to help," Carter said. "After the game, it was fun to take it in and celebrate with my teammates."
Q: What was it like being recruited by and playing for legendary coach Bobby Bowden at Florida State?
A: It was great. He came over to my house when I was in high school (Mandarin High in Jacksonville, Fla.), and how could you tell him 'no'? We had a nice, home-cooked meal for him, and everybody knows he's one of the greatest coaches ever. My grandmother fell in love with him from Day One. I considered Tennessee and the other Florida schools. But I always knew I was going to Florida State.
Q: Your father, Tony Sr., played basketball at FSU. Can you hoop?
A: I used to play basketball in high school. I was decent. I was a quick, athletic guy. But football and track were my thing. I got highly recruited in football, so I stuck with it.
Q: You started 50 games for the Seminoles and earned second-team all-conference honors as a senior. And yet, you were not drafted. Was that tough to accept?
A: It was a major letdown for me. First of all, I didn't have the opportunity to show what I had because I wasn't invited to the combine and didn't go to the Senior Bowl. I know it's my size (5-foot-9, 175 pounds). People look at me on paper and say I'm not big enough. I still can't watch the draft to this day. I'll just get away. I'll go on a boat with my buddies or something.
Q: Did you use that snub as motivation?
A: Definitely. I've always played with a chip on my shoulder. It's been a rocky road. If you're not a drafted guy, you have to work harder. You have to come from the ground up.
Q: You were on the Broncos' practice squad in 2009 and 2011, and on New England's practice squad in 2010. Are players treated differently on practice squads?
Blog: First-and-Orange
The Denver Post's NFL reporters post analysis, notes and more on this blog focusing on the Denver Broncos.
A: No. When you're on an NFL team, it doesn't matter if you're on the practice squad or you're on the active roster. You're treated the same way, and all the guys respect you because we're all fighting to win a championship. I took the experience as a positive. You get better on the practice squad. I looked at it as my opportunity is coming. I just needed to keep improving for when I got that opportunity. That's exactly what has happened.
Q: You're starting to gain a reputation as a playmaker, having two pass breakups in each of the past three games. What has been the difference?
A: I'm getting more comfortable out there. The more reps you get, the more comfortable you get. I'm just able to relax and let the game come to me. I've just been able to make the plays when I have the opportunity.

Greylock Partners expanded its enterprise investment team with the appointment of Venture Partner Dev Ittycheria, the firm said Monday.
Ittycheria co-founded BladeLogic in 2001 and steered it through a 2007 IPO and eventually a $900 million sale to BMC Software a year later. He stayed on to run BMC's $1.4B enterprise service management business.
Since leaving BMC in 2010, he has been a startup investor and serves as a board member at Bazaarvoice, AthenaHealth and AppDynamics, where Greylock is a investor. Ittycheria had a brief role as entrepreneur-in-residence at Bessemer Venture Partners.
At Greylock, he will invest in enterprise software companies with a focus on cloud-based services and enabling IT infrastructure. This includes big data, cloud computing, SaaS business models, storage, management, virtualization and mobile.
Greylock's enterprise portfolio includes Inperva, which went public last year and Palo Alto Networks and Service-Now, both of which have filed S-1s.

Evidence based practice relies on the premise that to make well informed decisions about practice, researchers need to access the best evidence about interventions. Evidence-based practice can be said to be an integration of the best research evidence from the literature, your own expertise and experience, and your clients' values and situation. (Sackett, 1996)

NFL Draft's Potential Patriots: Florida CB Jaylen Watkins
|05.07.14 at 10:13 am ET
WEEI.com will continue to offer daily insight and analysis regarding options that may be available to the Patriots when it comes to the 2014 NFL draft. Here is one is a series of profiles of players who could be on the board when it's time for the Patriots to make a selection.
Position: Cornerback
School: Florida
Height: 6-foot-0
Weight: 194 pounds
Achievements: 2013 Gene Elleson Community Service Award (team award), 2012 College Football Performance Award, Week 4 (DB)
What he brings: Watkins is a smooth athlete who is fluid on the field and is an overall solid cornerback. While he's not the biggest corner, he has superior speed that allows him to move all over the field. He's one of the best tackling corners available in the draft, showing up in run defense. His coverage skills are spotty, and he needs to be a little less physical with receivers. Scouts are concerned that he never emerged at Florida and wonder what his ceiling is.
Where the Patriots could get him: Round 3
Notes: In 2013 Watkins recorded 52 tackles and seven pass deflections. All three of his interceptions came in 2012. In his time at Florida, Watkins started 22 games at cornerback and six at safety. … Watkins ran a 4.41 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, benching 225 pounds 22 times. … He is the half brother of Sammy Watkins, a Clemson wide receiver who is considered a top-10 pick in this draft.

Question from S_U_Perhero
DLC questions- consumer advice?
First off: I can't access the marketplace though the game's main menu because (I'm assuming) I don't have a Gold Membership. Can I still download the DLC costumes through marketplace itself, or am I wasting my time?
Second, would it even be worth it to get DLC costumes or should I hold out for some all-content-included re-release? I ask this because after buying some of the Saint's Row the Third DLC, I spotted one of those for that game on the shelf for cheaper than the vanilla game cost me.

I believe you can still download them from the marketplace. There's a service called "Xbox Live Free" (formerly "Silver"). The Xbox.com landing page indicates you can purchase DLC with it, but you still need to sign up if you haven't already. I remember the in-game Marketplace not populating with anything when I tried it when the first content pack launched, so I've just gone to the marketplace.
Whether the costumes are worth it just depends on your own view. At this point there are 7 content packs, 1 of which is free. If you purchase the remainder as "packs" you'll be spending an additional $63 on the game. The general community sentiment is that the prices are exorbitant, but don't let that stop you if you like the content. Team Ninja hasn't said anything about a "complete" or "gold" edition, but the DLC should be permanently available, so your best bet is probably to look at the previews on the offical DOA5 site and just choose those packs that strike your fancy.

I don't know if this helps, but DOA 5 Ultimate is being released on September 3rd 2013. It contains DLC packs 1, 2, 5, and 9 and half of DLC pack 4 installed, but they have to be unlocked first.
Purchased individually:
Pack 1: free
Packs 2 and 5: 1040 MSP ($13.00 USD)
Pack 9: 400 MSP ($5.00 USD)
Pack 4: 3 sets of bunny bikinis (they were the pre-order bonuses) 240 MSP ($3.00) each. Total cost 720 MSP ($9.00 USD)
Total cost of above DLC $40.00
The cost of Ultimate is $40 USD, has even more unlockable costumes and has a pre-order bonus for J-pop costumes for Kasumi and Ayane and Bad Girl costumes for Tina Lisa Helena Christe Momoji and Sarah

Room selection process in Reno ends up with nice digs
In a Reno hotel with really nice $89 a night rooms, you might be wondering why Gloucester taxpayers paid $165 a night for a county supervisor to stay there. Here's a link to the area of the Peppermill Casino Hotel's "Tuscany Tower" where Supervisor Gregory Woodard stayed in Reno during the National Association of Counties convention in July. We're not sure which style of room or suite he stayed in, but we're pretty sure it was quite comfortable. County records show he spent $169.21 on nine meals while on the trip. Here's the link: http://www.peppermillreno.com/hotel/tuscany-tower/
County Administrator Brenda Garton's room was $139 a night. Here's the information from Christi Lewis, county spokeswoman, via e-mail on the selection process for the rooms: "Supervisor Woodard requested staff handle his hotel reservations. His hotel room priorities were chosen by County Administration staff in order of proximity to the conference center. How NACo staff addresses the preference requests is explained in the attached materials."
"Ms. Garton's reservation was made by phone directly with the hotel, and outside the NACo conference block as when she attempted to reserve her room through the online NACo hotel reservation process, there were no rooms available in the conference hotels for the arrival/departure dates which matched her flight reservation. She was able to reserve a comparable room out of the block at Peppermill at a price within conference room rate ranges for the days needed."
Here's a copy of documents on the room selection process from Gloucester County: Peppermill

What can we do with our old baby gear?
I'm not sure what to do with my kids' outgrown baby clothes and furniture. We're not planning to have more children. Part of me wants to keep it, but maybe I should give it to my sister-in-law, who just had a baby. My mom bought a lot of this stuff, and I'm worried she'll be offended if I give it away or sell it. What should I do?

Though confirming his admiration for the Manchester United forward, Erick Thohir denies that an approach has been made for either striker to join the Nerazzurri this summerInter owner Erick Thohir denied that his team has been in talks with Javier Hernandez and Fernando Torres about a transfer to the San Siro.
Goal understands that Valencia and Atletico Madrid are interested in signing the Manchester United forward, with the Red Devils willing to sell, and the Nerazzurri have been linked with the Mexico international as well.
Torres, who has often struggled since his 50 million pound move from Liverpool to Stamford Bridge, is also expected to leave in the summer, but Thohir is adamant that neither player has been approached.
"At the end of the season we will evaluate everything, both the young players and the more experienced ones, because we want to build a strong squad for the future with a view not just to next season but to the next three," he told the press.
"I think Hernandez is a good player but we haven't spoken to either him or Fernando Torres."
Inter has already secured the signature of veteran center back Nemanja Vidic from United, with the Serbian heading to Serie A upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the season.

April 29, 2016
CHICAGO (AP) - Pity the prospective juror named Mr. T.
He showed up for jury duty, then was dismissed after hours of down time - which he used to sign autographs and pose for pictures.
Mr. T was called for jury duty at Cook County Circuit Court on Monday. The Chicago native said he enjoyed fulfilling his civic responsibilities, even though he found - like countless others - that hours can pass before a judge decides to dismiss you.
He showed up for jury duty in camouflage pants, a T-shirt and a longer version of his usual Mohawk haircut.
Mr. T is best remembered for the 1980s TV series "The A-Team" and as Clubber Lang in "Rocky III," which his catch phrase come from: "I pity the fool."

AIA COTE Unveils the Top Ten Green Architecture Projects of 2011
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On April 15, 2011 @ 5:55 pm In Architecture,Gallery,Green Building | 3 Comments
Each year the AIA's Committee On The Environment (COTE) honors the best new sustainable architecture projects with a series of awards. These top-notch winners were chosen based on their reduced environmental impact as well as their positive contribution to their communities. The jury selection covers everything from mixed-use residential projects to schools, churches, offices and even a giant green-roofed convention center - read on for a look at this year's top projects!
These urban infill, mixed-use, market-rate apartments are designed with energy efficiency in mind — they utilize passive cooling strategy like cross-ventilation and thermal convection to make the most of their sunny southern California location. Cherokee Studios is currently awaiting LEED Platinum certification and it also features an owner-controlled, double facade system with operable metal shade screens.
+ BROOKS + SCARPA (formerly Pugh + Scarpa) [1]
The First Unitarian Society needed to expand their facilities to accommodate their growing congregation, however they wished to preserve the integrity of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed National Historic Landmark Meeting House. The 20,000 sq ft addition provides space for expanded daily needs, exemplifies the congregation's deeply held environmental values, and reflects Wright's philosophy of organic architecture.
+ The Kubala Washatko Architects, Inc. [2]
After a devastating tornado tore through Greensburg, Kansas [3], the town was all but destroyed and in need of many new facilities, including a new school. This K-12 facility utilizes a highly flexible, sustainable approach that focuses on students and is targeting LEED Platinum certification.
This public charter school places a strong focus on community, project-based learning, and fostering students' individual interests. HTH's main principles are small class sizes, openness and transparency, and sustainable design.
This adaptive reuse project of a former paper factory in Austin is now the headquarters for Lance Armstrong's LiveStrong Foundation [6]. Reclaimed materials, creative office spaces, and natural daylighting make this a beautiful project.
The LOTT Clean Water Alliance celebrated the essential resource by placing its water reclamation plant right out in the open and revitalizing an older facility. The office, education and technology center provides wastewater treatment services to 85,000 people in four local communities and emphasizes water conservation through a strong community outreach program.
+ The Miller | Hull Partnership [8]
This LEED Platinum-certified urban home features a compact design on a narrow infill lot and eliminates extraneous closet space, bathrooms and parking spaces in order to maximize floor space. The high-performance home features energy-efficient passive solar design as well as a rainscreen and a tight building envelope.
+ Johnsen Schmaling Architects [9]
This mixed-use project provides permanent affordable housing and support services for the homeless and mentally disabled population in the heart of downtown Santa Monica. Density and a transit-oriented location are mixed with natural daylighting, passive solar design and access to community resources.
The LEED Platinum Vancouver Convention Centre is well-known for its large green roof, but it also deserves major props for its commitment to energy efficiency, the community, and the area's waterways and salmon. The project includes an artificial reef to guide salmon around the perimeter of the development.
+ LMN Architects [11]
+ AIA Top Ten [12]

Meguiar's Motorex Entries Now Open!

Welcome to the first MotorEx update for 2011. You may think we are a little early, but with such a huge event we are well and truly in planning and organising mode for the premier car show in Australia and entries are now open. We have up to 9 new blockbuster HOK Inauguration vehicles to uncover on Saturday morning with a further 70 spots available in the dome for Super Elite cars including the 30 invited Meguiar's Superstar finalists.
Last year at MotorEx we kicked off Street Elite Showcase, legally registered streetable cars with elite quality body, paint work, interior, engine bay but no undercarriage detailing. Street Elite Showcase proved to be extremely popular and we are expecting more entries for this rapidly growing category. 2010 was also our first year for the muscle car marvel, where original and modified muscle car clubs display their best cars to compete for the top trophy and $1000 cash. There will also be an expanded Real Street boulevard out the front of the venue, displaying up to 80 real street cars on Saturday with a different 80 on the Sunday.
As you can see we will be running the same categories as last year, which sold out 2 months prior, so don't be disappointed this year, get your entry forms in now! Entry's received before 23rd May are only $100 with entry's received after this date but before 23rd June at $150 if there are any available spaces. All categories are open to pre 48 hot rods, Street Machines and late model Hi-Tech Tuners.

I really don't want this to be another lame blog, but what the hell, anything goes here at Canadian Psycho Worldwide, so here's my boring analogy of life in Asia. I know I barely use this blog other than to occasionally rant about balls, but I figure now's a good time to start talking about other fuzzy, rotund spheres of deliciousness, and by that, I mean peaches.
After spending 8 days in Tokyo after my plane touched down at Narita Airport this June, I was headed North to my new apartment for the next 9 months. I had a liaison taking me around what, in my eyes, appeared to be a shantytown; helping me to register with the city, open a bank account, and buy the basic things I needed around the house because my car, Paul Kariya, wasn't due to arrive until after dinner the following evening.
The first thing I did when I got to the grocery store was head straight for the produce section. I had 8 days of conbini (convenience store) food, and hotel breakfasts under, or should I say, over my belt, and I was absolutely dying for some fruits and vegetables. I remember one night in Tokyo, we had gone out for someone's birthday, and I had tried to be healthy by ordering the boiled spinach. Yeah, the spinach showed up with bacon all over it. Not that I have any problem with bacon, but come on. I was starting to get worried. Back in Korea it was almost impossible to find salad anywhere, and when you did it wasn't odd if said salad would run you $20 or more. Everything but fruit/vegetables were dirt cheap in Korea, and since Japan has a reputation of being expensive for everything, I really didn't know what I was going to expect.
There was, however, a glimmer of hope. My liaison told me that my town was "very famous" for melon. There are melon patches everywhere, and more types of melon than I ever knew existed. I was happy about this. I love melon, and surely if it's produced locally, it would be a fabulous price. Wrong. Try $8-$10 for a small one. If the local fare was breaking the bank, you can only imagine what everything else will run you.
The first thing that caught my eye were the biggest most delicious looking peaches I had every seen. They were like voluptuous gigantic balls that were bathed in a fine coating of sweet sensual velour. I was honestly skipping towards them, like some sort of ball baron at the Pride parade in Toronto, when the 398 yen (for 2) price tag nearly stopped my heart. Ahhhh! That's $5.10 Canadian for the kids at home.
The room began spinning, and I knew it was more than the 98% humidity making me lightheaded. To my left were $2.54 apples! To my right, $7.65 grapes! Surely, this was madness. I mean would YOU pay $2.54 for ONE apple? The prices were worse than they were in Korea! And what's worse is that they don't keep for very long. I don't know how many times I had to throw food away because I hadn't consumed it in 2 days. It was always an effort to finish a bunch of bananas before they turned completely brown. Buying healthy food was almost like flushing your money down the sketchy Korean toilets!
Now I'm sure this post is going to attract a lot of random Google hits from from people researching prospective forays abroad in Japan. So, to those of you that haven't left after my gratuitous use of, "balls," and are still reading along, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You can get a decent bunch of average sized bananas (that's what she said) for about 197 yen or $2.52 Canadian. But, really, who can survive on JUST bananas and cucumbers – for food, that is! WINK WINK.
You see, when you come overseas, no matter who you were at home, you tend to get into thrift mode. Whether you had student loans, or credit card debit, or were completely debt free, you'll notice that everyone seems to try to keep the spending down, so that we can give a hefty jolt to our homeland bank account when we eventually leave. That, or have ample cash to literally pour down our throats at the bars. I think part of the reason this happens is because we all spent an exhausting amount of time packing and repacking our suitcases before we left to get them down to those 23 kgs lest we be charged an overweight fee by the airline. We know that our luggage is like a delicate ecosystem. Any small disturbance, like the addition of a new pair of shoes, or t-shirt, would be both damaging and costly when we attempt to go back home several months down the road.
It's kind of ridiculous to what level we take our thriftiness. I've heard foreigners complain when a large bowl of ramen runs them 280 yen – and I mean the stuff from the restaurants, not the stuff you make at home. It's true, too. You might find yourself spending $10 on dinner at your neighbourhood Coco's or Gusto, and it feels like you just ate at a fancy schmancy restaurant, and the check was $200 a head. No joke.
The fruit thing is worse because it's ingrained in all of us not to get ripped off by produce. Since we were babies, we all went to the grocery stores with our mamas and learned that you only buy certain fruit/vegetables when they are in season, or else you'll be paying through the nose. The only difference is at home there is always SOME type of fruit that is in season, so there are options. Here it's ungodly expensive all the time. So, unless you want to become the fat gaijin that everyone expects us to be anyway, and stick to getting your meals from the 7-Eleven, then you have to break the habit of walking away from the expensive fruit and open your wallets.
The other day, my local Kasumi had those aforementioned delicious peaches for the low, low price of 97 yen each ($1.24). I was so excited that I bought up as many of them as I could. I got back to my aparto and dove right in. They were honest to God the best peaches I had ever had in my life, that, or maybe I had just been deprived of fruit for so long that anything would have done the body good. I didn't know how I was living the way I was, and I realized that malnutrition may have been one of the reasons Korea practically killed me. My mom said I looked almost dead when they picked me up from the airport. Clearly, I needed to make a change to my eating habits. Two days later, I went back to the store and the ambrosia was back to $5.10 a pair. I died a little inside.

After a miscarriage is it normal to get irregular periods?
On the 25th of may this year 2012 I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks. It didn't hurt and was really just like a period but at the same time I was very disappointed. My husband and I decided to keep trying as I am 40 years young. I have two beautiful boys and I feel this is my last chance to have my third. Anyway. I got a period about 18 days later, just brown muck and not too heavy. Then 27 days latter I got my period again and this time was pleased to see red blood. However, 11 days later I had moodiness, period pain (which I have not had since I was a teenager) and a small burst of blood. I'm not even sure if it was a period as it didn't even last the day but I did have all the other classic symptoms. Do I count this as the first day of my last period? Is this normal? What's going on?

Senior Fellow Robert Higgs talks about his book, Neither Liberty nor Safety: Fear, Ideology, and the Growth of Government, on The Holistic Survival Show with Jason Hartman. Higgs sheds light on the history of institutionalized violence implemented by a bloated federal state, caused by a misguided faith in larger government to ensure a freedom from fear. The Necessary and Proper Clause? People have been trying to loosen the bounds of the Constitution virtually from the time it was ratified to the present, Higgs cautions.
