TAB: Rihanna Getting Breast Implants to "Please" Chris Brown
Rihanna "wants bigger boobs to please Chris Brown," according to the National Enquirer.
Yes, you read that correctly.
A so-called "source" for the supermarket tabloid claims Rihanna is planing to get breast implants because Brown said she'd be "totally hot" with a bigger bust.
Now, the "We Found Love" singer, who has begun spending time with her ex again, is allegedly "shopping for a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills who will pump her up 'at least one bra size,'" claims the supposed "friend."
The purported "insider" goes on to note that Rihanna has "always been insecure about her cleavage, but Chris's comment has spurred her to really do something about it."
Oh, really?
Gossip Cop checked in with an impeccable Rihanna insider, who tells us the mag's story is completely FALSE.
Yet another Enquirer tale gets busted.

The word 'Solstice' derives from the Latin term meaning 'sun stood still', as in the winter and summer the sun appears to rise and set in practically the same place.
Summer Solstice Date
In the northern hemisphere, the Summer Solstice date tends to be either June 21 or 22. These dates mark the Winter Solstice in the southern hemisphere. In that hemisphere, the Summer Solstice date varies between December 21 and 22. The Summer Solstice date marks the time when the sun is at its northern-most position in relation to the equator for the northern hemisphere and its southern-most position for the southern hemisphere. This time, June 21, is associated with the 'Honey' and 'Mead Moon', and is now often referred to as 'Midsummer'.
The Solstice Sky
The sky is naturally an important symbol for the Summer Solstice because this solstice marks the time when the sun is highest in the sky. In fact, the solstice sky is steeped in astrological aspects, ranging from the position of constellations to the brightness of the stars. For astronomers, the Summer Solstice occurs when the sun enters the sign of Cancer, and the full moon is in the sign of Capricorn.

International Car Forest of The Last Church, Goldfield, Nevada
Buckaroo, I don't know what to say. Lectroids? Planet 10? Nuclear extortion? A girl named "John"?
- President Widmark, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
Goldfield, Nevada is a tiny, seemingly insignificant accumulation of abandoned buildings between Tonopah and Beatty on US 95, roughly halfway between Reno and Las Vegas. It wasn't always so - in 1906, Goldfield, with over 20,000 residents, was the largest city in Nevada, all focused on extracting high grade gold-bearing ore from Columbia Mountain and the surrounding Goldfield Hills or in supporting the miners in their work. It was arguably the last true mining boom town in Nevada history; when Goldfield went bust, the absurdely optimistic dream of building a mining-based metropolis that would stand the test of time - a dream that littered Nevada with well-built ghost or semi-ghost towns like Virginia City, Austin, Ione, Belmont, Rhyolite, Candelaria and the like - died with it. After Goldfield, later mining towns like Klondike and Divide dispensed with fancy, well built brick hotels, bank buildings and railroad depots and instead opted for wood frame construction or tents to better protect scarce capital when the ore inevitably ran out.
Because of Goldfield's brief moment of prosperity, however, it was able to acquire a few trappings that prevented it from being completely abandoned. First, as one of the few inhabited towns in that part of Nevada, it became a critical way station for Nevada State Route 3 and Nevada State Route 5 in the 1920s (later US 95 in the '40s), providing food, water, fuel and repair services for stranded travelers in the days before Interstate highways, pressurized engine cooling systems, or 200+ mile fuel tanks. Second, and much more importantly, it became a county seat for newly formed Esmeralda County in 1907, a position it has never relinquished; consequently, as long as the county offices are still present, Goldfield will always have some residents living there to staff them. In fact, due to the combination of these two factors - namely, the location of the Esmeralda County Sheriff Department's headquarters in downtown Goldfield and Goldfield's location on US 95, along with the attendant drop in speed limit through town - Goldfield is known to seasoned travelers in Nevada as a moderately notorious speed trap.
Off the main highway through town, however, is an odd and curious attraction, one that is barely noticeable out of the corner of one's eye while driving through the southern edge of Goldfield's modest township boundaries. Rising out of the desert, approximately a mile or so from the highway, hidden by a few small rolling hills and some buildings, are various vehicles standing, lengthwise, rising out of the ground like corn.
If you're attentive enough to notice this odd sight, you've just discovered the International Car Forest of The Last Church, an eccentric art project adopted by Chad Sorg, which bills itself as the "World's Largest National Junk Car Forest":

The motion of the ocean is clinging steadfast to our souls, so when ATID director Stacey Zackin sent out the following survey about the Chanukah cruise, our very own Amy Klein decided to respond in kind.
Here's what Amy (really) thought about our weekend at sea:
1. My favorite aspects of the cruise included: picking up a neglected 12-year-old named Christian who wanted to sit in on the services and Chanukah candle lighting, and wondering if, in ten years, he will find himself wanting to convert due to this cruise; the pineapple drinks with the umbrellas and the Caribbean band on deck which almost convinced me I was on "The Love Boat" sans Julie McCoy; "The weirdest Chanukah gift you've ever gotten game" in which TWO people were "the gift" (but Noah Gordon didn't mention it aloud); potato latkes with applesauce and sour cream in the middle of the ocean (take THAT, you Christmas trees!); The Cantor talking about her weirdest date with a guy who broke down in tears because she told him he was a little late; Karaoke when ATID people took the floor with "We Are Family" and David channeled his inner Barry White
2. My least favorite parts of the cruise were: the nauseated swaying of the boat, mitigated by intense swaying that made it look like I was praying all the time, until I got to the dance floor, where it felt normal; losing money at the blackjack table (yeah, well, you don't need to be a fortune teller to predict THAT); the inclement weather (hey, THAT never happened on The Love Boat); not actually being on The Love Boat (where is Isaac the Bartender??!)
3. Next year I'd like to see the following changes: I'd like the whole cruise to be Jews. A Jews Booze Schmooze Doozy of a Cruise.
4. Please let us know how you felt about the ATID programs. Was there enough mingling among ATID members and was the observance/celebration of Shabbat and Hanukkah meaningful to you? Chanukah? We were celebrating Chanukah? I totally thought it was a Kwaanza cruise….hmm.
5. If we do another cruise, will you want to attend? I stayed on the boat and decided to help out our waitress, so she can make enough money to go back to Slovakia and pursue a modeling career.
6. Based on your experience on the cruise, will you be more likely to attend other ATID events? What's Atid?

Holy cow! The action hasn't let up in this chapter…it was really worth the wait! Is the Endling a baddie? Should we all be scared of him? Will the kids make it out of the building alive? I can't wait until next week!
Good job, Jonathan
Thanks, LileNoire! Cecilia, Jenn and Troy have been busting their butts to make sure there was no letup in the story… so glad you liked it!
And by the way, you write excellent promos!

Walton County Emergency Operation's Director, Captain Mike Barker, and his staff are concerned with the latest projections for the Choctawhatchee and Shoal rivers over coming several days.
In just the last two weeks, the National Weather Service estimates Northwest, Florida has received anywhere from four-to-six times it normal rainfall. The ground is saturated, and any additional precipitation results in runoff draining into already swollen creeks, rivers and other tributaries'.
By Friday, the Choctawhatchee River at Caryville is expected to crest at 18-point-two feet. That's more than six-feet above flood stage. On Sunday, the river level is expected to rise to 19-point-29 feet further south in the Bruce Community. That's also six-feet above flood stage. If additional rain falls in Southeast, Alabama over coming days, the river levels can go even higher.
Captain Barker is asking "folks who live in low-lying areas, and traditional flood zones to keep a close eye on the rising water. They should also keep up with their local media outlets concerning updates on river projections". At this time, Captain Barker says several sections of River Road in the Red Bay Community are nearly impassable.
Charlie Presley is tying down loose items like garbage cans outside his River Road home. He hopes the dirt roadway will not be completely submerged by high water over coming days.
Walton County residents affected by the Shoal River in the Mossy Head area are also advised to stay updated with the latest river projections. That area sustained property damage due to High Water in late March and early April.

Comments about adidas Boys' ClimaCool II No-Show Socks - 2-Pack:
My 6-year-old really likes these socks. He prefers no show socks for athletics. These socks help keep his feet dry. He wears a 13C, & because the sizing runs from 13C-4Y, the socks are a little big on him. I will probably buy more as his feet grow.

I've seen news posted about this on just about every tech site I have visited but in case you hadn't heard about it yet, an Australian-based research team has teleported a message-encoded laser beam - bringing the science fiction fantasy of "beaming" humans from one place to another a step closer. Friends in school used to tell me stories like this from their physics classes and how humans could maybe one day be teleported, maybe we aren't as far away as we think from the famous Star Trek style transportation.
But for a human to be teleported, a machine would have to be built that could pinpoint and analyse the trillions and trillions of atoms that make up the human body.More information at Australian IT
Quantum teleporting is problematic for humans because the original is destroyed in the process of creating the replica.

I go through phases with some foods. Canned salmon is one of them. I hadn't used it in a long time, but recently picked some up at the store. Tonight I decided to put it to use and made salmon cakes (recipe below).
I also tried out a new food item for us – Alexia sweet potato julienne fries (frozen). The ingredient list looked safe including modified potato starch and rice flour. My two older kids were not home for dinner so I didn't get their reaction, but the three of us who ate them thought they were good. In fact, my husband usually does not eat sweet potatoes so I didn't tell him what they were. He guessed sweet potatoes or carrots by the color and willingly gave them a try. They were a hit, and now I have a way to serve him sweet potatoes!
- 1 can salmon, drained and bones removed
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 large egg
- 2 Tablespoons gluten-free bread crumbs or gf instant potatoes
- pepper to taste
- coconut or other cooking oil
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
- Form into patties (I made five).
- Fry in hot oil until brown on both sides and hot through.
- Serve with Tartar Sauce.
These were a big hit with the kids. One of boys who was not home for dinner had one for lunch the next day and said, "What was that thing I ate? Do you have more?"

New week
Monday, November 05, 2012
Well, it's another week into my Spark experience. I've been doing this steadily since early August and I have to say, there are times when I get so tired of the routine. I am losing the weight, want to KEEP losing the weight but sometimes, I just get so tired with measuring and planning everything out in advance. I do it because I want to be successful but there are times when I think "What's the point?". I guess everybody feels that way every once in a while. This past weekend I didn't track. I didn't really eat anything I shouldn't eat...didn't even try, just didn't feel like tracking so I chose not to. That's the first time in a long time I've felt like that or even DONE that. Now I'm back on track for the week, just wish it wasn't such a chore.
Sometimes I hate thinking about what I'm going to make for dinner. And there are some days when I get home that I don't even feel like cooking. I have my son with me every other week and cooking when he's there isn't a problem but when he's at his dad's, that's another story. I hate having to deal with all of the leftovers.
I need to turn this bad attitude around and get out of my "diet funk". I'm not usually this negative but I guess everyone's entitled every now and then as long as it doesn't become a habit. It's just, how do I get out of it? What do I need to do? Any suggestions?

First of all, I want to tell you what a special person you are. I've noticed the spark goodies you've been sending to encourage other people . . . including me.
Secondly, I understand not logging your food. I'd been so busy during the day . . . and getting home later in the evening that when I went in after a few days to plug in my meals it was overwhelming. So I said, "What the heck!" and just let the past go and started fresh today. I decided that if it became a burden, then it would just bog me down and discourage me, making it too easy to quit. Just can't do that.
Thirdly, meals. I was just thinking about coming up with a few simple meals to add into my Groupings. Melas that I could do easily by keeping things on hand. Then I could just come home, pick one of the groups, plug it in and go make it. Or vice versa.
Like you said to me, "You can do it . . . I just know you can!"

Human feet have about 5, 00,000 sweat glands. The sweat produced by them is quite stinky in some people. Often caused by growth of bacteria, it can be quite embarrassing. People use a multitude of products to gain control over the stinking smell but majority of them fail to produce significant results. For quick results use antibacterial foot powder and the best natural antibacterial feet soap.
Other than that they must switch to natural ways. These are effective and have long-lasting results. I have summarized 10 most effective natural ways to control the smell and keep you feeling fresh for long hours.
Brew two tea bags in warm water. Soak your feet in it for 10 minutes per day for a week. Tea contains tannic acid which helps in getting rid of sweating and foot odor. If it again starts stinking again, repeat the procedure. Once the problem subsides, soak in the preparation once every week.
Make a mixture of vinegar and hot water by mixing ½ cup of white vinegar in it. Soak feet for 20-30 minutes. Rinse well to prevent vinegar smell. Dry thoroughly.
Dry feet after the bath and apply alcohol with a cotton ball. Alcohol acts as an astringent.
Alum has antiseptic properties i.e. checks growth of bacteria. Mix a teaspoon of alum powder in a cup of warm water and rinse your feet with them. Dry and apply some alum powder. Repeat this daily.
Drop two tablespoons of bleach to a gallon of warm water. Soak your feet in this water for 10-15 minutes every day for a week. If you see your skin drying, apply some moisturizer or oil to replenish the lost moisture of the skin.
Baking soda
Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate reduces the amount of bacteria by neutralizing the pH of sweat. Immerse your feet in a pail of warm water for 15-20 minutes before going to bed. You can also try sprinkling baking soda in your socks and shoes before wearing them.
Lavender oil
The aromatic oil is an excellent foot odor cure. It has anti-bacterial properties needed for combating the smell. Pour a few drops of lavender oil in warm water and soak the feet in it for 10-15 minutes. Repeat this two times a day for maximum benefits. You can also use Lavender oil soap. It is the best natural antibacterial feet soap.
Epsom salt
Add two teaspoons of Epsom salt in half bucket of warm water. Soak feet for 10-15 minutes. Allow them to dry on their own. Use in moderation, too much of Epsom salt can cause irritation, so use in moderation.
Herbal soak
Both rosemary and sage have anti-bacterial properties and act as an astringent. Collectively they bring in the desired results for people with stinking feet. Add these herbs to a foot basin filled with boiling water. Let it cool down for you to soak your feet in it. Then soak for 10-15 minutes. Repeat twice daily.
Pound a ginger in your mixer and add hot water. Allow it to stand for 15 minutes. Filter and massage the feet with it before sleeping every night. Repeat this for a fortnight.
Apply one of these methods and cure your feet naturally.

The material that is left behind from your kitchen can be put to good use by making your own garden composter! The creatures that live in your soil (i.e. the bacteria, fungi, insects etc), consume and process the plant and animal 'waste'. The great benefits of recycling your organic 'waste' are that you encourage wildlife, save money on fertilizers, reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce landfill and best of all, provide a substrate to grow your own healthy fruit and vegetables on!
Almost anything that has been alive can be composted. Farmyard manure, vegetarian pet manures and bedding(but not dog or cat faeces as they may contain dangerous pathogens), deciduous hedge clippings, used tea bags, grass mowings, vegetable scraps, and fruit skins etc (dead leaves can be added to the compost or stored separately to make a leaf mould mulch).
Most waste can be composted (~95%), and if it cannot, then it can usually be recycled. Some things not to add to your composter are persistent weeds such as couch grass, and meat and fish, as they tend to attract rodents (rats and mice) and flies. You are also best to leave out citrus fruits as the tiger worms in your composter do not like them.
Containers such as old bins can be used to directly grow your vegetables in; Small pots to dustbins and other plastic containers can be used. You can even make a removable side for access.
Larger scale bins and containers can hold enough compost to apply to allotments and garden plots. An ideal bin will have solid sides to retain heat and moisture and a cover to keep out the rain.
Frequent turning of the compost heap ensures that the compost is well oxygenated for the organisms to work.
Compost supplies plant foods, including trace elements, in a slow release form. It also improves the soil structure and improves the water holding capacity.
Compost, both garden and from a wormery can be applied as a surface mulch or incorporated into the top 15cm of soil or added to the tops of tubs or planters.
Worm compost tends to be faster acting than garden compost.
Composting is fired up through the natural processes of feeding the multitude of soil microbes that invade as soon as you start up your composter. If your household is limited to mainly kitchen scraps grass mowings and some weeds, you can make improved compost by adding in some household paper waste. Paper towels, cardboard boxes, egg boxes, pizza boxes, tubes etc can add 'body' to your compost. Ideally mix paper waste in equal quantities as the vegetation. Remember though to only use paper that cannot be recycled through the paper box!
If you have mainly kitchen waste then add the tiger worms and have a worm composter(see section on how to make your own wormery). If managed properly a worm bin will be smell free and will dispose of your kitchen scraps. The worm casts produced make high quality compost.

According to MTV on Jan. 22, in an interview with Michael Shannon and Nicholas Hoult about their new film "Young Ones", Hoult talked about his experience of being starstruck on the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" set. Hoult will be reprising his role as Beast in the film where both casts that represent different versions of their younger and older selves join up in a team up against the Sentinels.
It seems that Hoult had spent less time in the make-up chair and more time enjoying himself on the set of "X-Men". He mentioned how he was a bit tongue tied when encountering Hugh Jackman during his trip to the Cerebro device. Hoult then had a bit of a flashback moment to when he was 11-years old.
"A lot of makeup, less time, more comfortable. It was very exciting to shoot. Obviously, we've got the cast from the original movies and 'First Class' all together, and Bryan says it's looking really good. I'm excited to see it. The first day, I was walking down the corridor to Cerebro with Hugh Jackman, and I looked over during the scene and I saw that it was Wolverine. That was who I grew up with when I was 11, watching these films. I had a bit of trouble getting my lines out on the first day. It was just a weird moment".
Hoult wasn't the only comic book character actor that took part in this interview, but "Man of Steel's" Michael Shannon spoke about his new movie "Midnight Special" where it takes on the similarities of another film he worked in called "Take Shelter" where he plays a father who has a genuine concern for his child.
"I'm going to start another Jeff Nichols movie, 'Midnight Special'. Jeff has really begged me not to say anything about it, but it is similar in a regard to 'Take Shelter' in that it deals with a father who is very concerned for his child and the love he has for his child and trying to protect his child, but it's also very different".
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" is scheduled to start on May 23.

I know this is an old question and I have researched a lot through this but seems like there are no proper solutions. There are some ways to do so which I have already seen such as:
Using FFmpeg (but it depends on the native code so not an option for me)
Xuggler API (same reason as above)
Im looking for solutions or even suggestions which can convert multiple images (drawables or bitmaps or whatever it is) into to a video file which can be playback in an android phone. Im stuck at this for 3 days already and rushing to find a solution.
Im also looking for an alternative solution for my problem which is instead of convert images into video, is it possible to capture and record the android phone screen, actually apart of the screen in my application? ( please, not using the USB cable to plug into the computer or something like that. I have seen alot of those when I researched, that's not what I'm looking for).
Any helps would be appreciate and sorry about my English, it is not my native one.

Seth Mitchell tested his chin and confidence, seven months after Johnathon Banks beat him up and stopped him in round two, in Atlantic City. On Saturday night in Brooklyn, he passed the test, I guess, but the audience was severely tested, as these two put on a pretty horrid showing. Banks seemed out of it from the get go, and Mitchell played it safe virtually the whole way.
The crowd was happiest when the bell rang to end the 12th, the merciful 12th.
Neither guy really deserved to win for their sad outing, it could be argued, but it was Mitchell who did a bit more. He won by scores of 115-112, 117-109, 114-112.
To be fair, he just came off a bad KO loss, but Banks, really, leaves one shaking their head. Unless he has a GREAT alibi, I think he has to ask himself if this is for him, or he just wants to train people.
Also, a few weeks ago Mitchell and his wife suffered a tragedy, the stillborn birth of a 34-week old baby, so of course, we feel mightily for him, and understand if he couldn't be fully focused.
Mitchell (from Brandywine, MD; 25-1-1 with 19 KOs) was 243.6 while Banks (from Detroit; 29-1-1 entering) was 216.8.
In the first, both men postured. The crowd booed as they both stared at each other.
In round two, Banks went down and said it was from a rabbit punch. An uppercut landed before that, though.
In the third, Mitchell got buzzed bad and was nearly dropped at the end of the round. Two rights did the damage.
In the fourth, a counter left hook by Banks was the most telling punch. Mitchell mostly stayed smart, moved, kept himself safe.
In the fifth, Banks gave away the round with inactivity. He stunk in the sixth, too. Sorry, the lack of action here was appalling.
Looked like Banks buzzed Mitchell in the eighth. A right to the chin scored heavily. In round nine, the two did some decent works on the ropes with Mitchell working harder. Mitchell's right eye had puffed some by this point. The tenth was a boring round. In the 11th, it was the same. And the 12th ended badly as well.
The funky fix was difinitely in. Seth Mitch looked like football-playing bytch. He fought like he had a bad itch. A ride out of boxing he ought go hitch. His being good to me, you cannot pitch. I know the game. And da dude is quite is lame. Trying to pass him off as the next hot heavyweight is a shame. And on the shadow and Showtime, you can give da blame. Holla!
What a horrible and Boring fight.
It was like watching a soccer match
Just when you think there's a straight up guy in boxing he disappoints you! And I lost my respect for Klitschko for sanctioning that sh....!
I was looking forward to seeing this fight, what a disappointment. The fight in the crowd was more entertaining
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Expanding on techniques executed in the Address Drill, Johns Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala demonstrates the highly effective Retreat Drill. This particular drill teaches defenders how to handle that initial move by an offensive player and ways to eliminate flat feet.
Follow along as Coach Pietramala reveals how to implement the proper techniques, movements and strategies involved. The drill is a must for lacrosse teams at every level. It's also an effective defensive tool used by Johns Hopkins on a frequent basis.
After learning how to properly address the ball, this is the next step in the progression. It's all about how to take that initial move by the offensive player and remain in a position to be effective defensively. It also continues to work on techniques covered in the Address Drill as well.
The drill starts with one player at a time behind the net and facing toward the endline (and with his/her back toward the goal). At the whistle, the player addressing the coach will retreat back a few steps, move forward again (following the coach's signals), move back, and then forward, and then back again.
The participating player should follow the signals delivered by the coach to figure out when to retreat and address.
Signals: Putting the hand down means to stop and break down, pointing the hand backwards means to retreat, and pointing outward means to come back in and address the ball.
This drill really focuses on retreating or giving ground. Any time that an offensive player makes a move at a defender, we believe the first thing we need to do is retreat backwards with our stick in front of us and with a six-foot cushion. This enables the defender to handle any initial offensive move.
Too often, defenders are caught flat-footed when an offensive player makes a move. When flat-footed, they can't retreat. Therefore, we're making sure with this drill that we don't get beat by the initial move.
Be sure to watch the feet and stick positioning here. When each defender comes out, they will immediately try to take away the offensive player's right hand. Players should focus on picking their feet up and running backwards and not dragging the feet when backpedaling. You can also get the goalie involved and communicating with each defender on what's expected and where to go.
Also, make sure that you conduct the drill on the left side of the cage. Nothing changes here. Rather than having our left foot forward, we will reverse that because we are taking away the left side of the goal. So it's the right foot forward and left foot back.
The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "Developing On-Ball Defenders Behind the Net" with Dave Pietramala. To check out more defensive-oriented videos in our lacrosse library, simply click here.
The majority of shots that players take in a game are on the move in some way or form. Therefore, it's important for players to become comfortable and proficient with shooting on the run from a number of different positions on the field.
With Johns Hopkins University Offensive Coordinator Bobby Benson as your guide, you'll learn about different techniques for shooting on the run. Coach Benson first breaks down each drill before having his team run through multiple reps at full speed.
First, no matter where you are a player on the field, you must always move your hips toward the goal. This is how you generate the most power and accuracy. When it comes to practicing it, set up cones down the middle of the field (about 5 total, with the second cone being about 10 yards away and slightly to the right or left) starting at the midfield line.
Players should initially make a dodge at the initial cone. At the next cone, concentrate on turning your hips and going to the pipe. The last two cones are set about five yards beyond the third cone, about 3 yards apart from each other, and 12 yards away from the cage. Run between the two cones so you make your move toward the goal and not running away from it.
Remember, your shot should not be much different than other shots: Keep your arms back, keep creating tension, and keep swinging through.
Note: Coach Benson likes to have players practice spinning around as they shoot so they are facing the other direction. This helps with follow-through and swinging that opposite hip into each shot.
The next dodge is from the high wing. After making an initial move, players should split down the side in this case, turn their hips to the pipe as they shoot, and finish between the two cones. Concentrate on getting those hips toward the goal as you shoot.
Now start from the mid or low wing. Too often when guys dodge from the wing, they end up drifting away from the cage. We want to make sure we are going towards the goal with these shots.
Finally, we are coming around from behind the goal. The biggest mistake guys make when dodging from behind or when shooting around the cage is that they drift and don't turn the corner. The first cone is placed where we want to make our move, the second is at the goal line, and then split the last two cones when coming around the edge. When you get to the goal line, it's key to turn those hips and make a beeline for the front of the cage. Your back should be facing the opposite side of the field when done. Swing the right hip into the shot and bring the back around.
This drill is perfect for practicing dodging on the run. It forces you to shoot the ball out of your split dodge. Players will catch the ball inside the box and won't have a ton of time to shoot the ball at 10-12 yards. Therefore, focus on staying inside the hash marks and moving north-south. That means we are going to the goal. Work on spinning around with each shot and getting your hips into it.
You can also do the same drill from behind the goal. Start with a pass across, split the top side hard, and work on turning the corner and finishing in front of the cage. If you do this drill correctly, you should finish in front of the cage and move right into the opposite line.
The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "35 Championship Shooting Drills for Lacrosse" with Bobby Benson. To check out more shooting-oriented videos, head over to our lacrosse library.
The following shooting drills work on players moving to an area, catching the ball with their feet set, and getting away a quick release and hard overall shot. With Johns Hopkins University Offensive Coordinator Bobby Benson as your guide, you'll learn about turnaround shots, shots for mumbo drills, and shots off of quick screens. Coach Benson first breaks down each drill step-by-step before using on-field demonstrations to illustrate how the workouts should be carried out.
In this drill, our shooters will start out by facing in one direction. On "Go", they will then turn to the outside, catch a feed from a teammate, and then fire a shot on net. As soon as the player releases his shot, he will then replant himself, turn to the outside again, approach the next feeder, catch the pass, and release another shot on cage.
Two feeders will start in the wing areas of the field with the shooter in the middle of them. Each player should look to get 10 to 15 shots before switching out.
Remember, it's key that we turn to the outside so that we can turn our back to the goal and get our body set to receive the ball. On the other hand, if we turn to the inside, we are much more likely to catch the ball square to the goal where we can't get that good hard shot off.
Now add a second player and move the feeders down to the GLE. With players criss-crossing, it will make them push a bit harder now. Be sure to have players working at a good pace. It's key that the participants communicate constantly so they don't hit each other as they run across.
Now for this drill, we'll implement two goals on opposite sides. Shots should be taken from about 12 yards out. Each player will do the same semi-circle move as before, just working on opposite sides of each other now. Coach Benson finds that involving two players at once makes participants play at a faster pace. Remember to keep good form at all times and that each respective player should only shoot on one specific goal throughout the simulation.
It's important to practice the shots that you'll typically get in the game. At Hopkins, Coach Benson likes to devise shooting drills that will look like some aspect of his own offense, whether it's utilizing a wing-to-wing skip, rolling off the crease, or a mumbo.
This drill emulates a mumbo. A mumbo is when a wing player heads into the crease area and sets a screen and the player on the crease comes off the screen to catch the ball and take a shot. This drill will force shooters to get off the crease, get their feet set, catch the ball back, and shoot it hard.
It all starts with a dodge from up top. We'll then set the mumbo and do it over and over again with the two participating players to really practice their shooting. It's key that we get the timing down between the dodgers and the screeners. Remember to try and create shooting drills that will emulate the parts of your offense. Thus, when players get into a game, they are comfortable with specific kinds of shots.
This time we'll start with a dodge from behind the cage, make a screen to the crease, and then come off that screen and look to throw a good feed behind with a catch and finish. Look to get those feet set so that you can catch the ball with your weight back and arms back in order to get a good release and hard, accurate shot.
Here's another shooting drill that involves two players making a quick screen with a pop out, but no dodge this time. One player will come down for the quick screen about 10-12 yards in front. The other player will curl off of him, catch the pass and shoot. That same player will then immediately turn into the screener and the previous screener now turns into the shooter. Remember to curl into the area just behind the screen. This will give you the time necessary to get set and then have the open space to deliver.
The preceding clips can be found on Championship Productions' DVD 35 Championship Shooting Drills for Lacrosse featuring Bobby Benson. Click here to check out our extensive video collection highlighting additional shooting drills.
In this week's defensive drill of the week, Johns Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala highlights the highly effective Goal-line Drill. Using cones, the goal is to practice maintaining proper technique regarding how to stop offensive players from beating you when playing behind the net. The cones will indicate which area of the field you don't want offensive players to get above or beyond.
Follow along as Coach Pietramala reveals step-by-step how exactly to implement the proper techniques, movements and strategies. This drill is critical to developing defenders at every level and is an effective method the head coach uses with his team on a frequent basis.
Using the video as a guideline, note how the cones are situated around the goal area. These cones indicate the areas of the field that defenders do not want offensive players to get above or beyond. The cones don't go any higher than three yards above the goal line and they have a noticeable arc while tapering to the sideline. This is exactly the pattern we want to follow when we are approaching the GLE and locking up with an offensive player to drive them away from the goal.
The two cones nearest to the GLE are helping us teach the defender the proper angle they want to take to beat an offensive player to his spot. Also it's key to remember that the crease is our friend. An offensive player must make an arc around it. That arc is exactly how we want to turn our body and have it facing the corner of the field. It's similar to a gate. It's either open or closed. With these cones, it teaches players how to close the gate. And by following the outline of the cones, it forces your body to adjust and turn so that you're no longer facing the sideline and you're now facing the corner of the field with your top foot forward.
In terms of player movement here, we want to "swing the gate closed." In other words, swing the hips around and follow the cones and drive the offensive player away from the goal. This is why the cones go away from the goal.
You'll frequently hear the terms "Plant", "Drop" and "Squeeze" used with this drill. It's important that players remember these terms so they can get the key points ingrained in their head. Here in the drill, we want to plant our outside foot, drop-step down the line to handle the first move, and then squeeze the opposing player behind the goal.
Goal Line Drill Full Speed
Now, watch as the drill is conducted at full speed. Players will begin well behind the goal before making their way to one side of the net based on the coach's instructions. Once there, the player will plant his outside foot and yell "plant." Then, he'll drop his outside foot and yell "drop." Next, he'll squeeze and ride the offensive player away from the net by following the cone footprint. Remember, when squeezing, it's important to be a half-foot behind the offensive player so they can't roll back toward the goal. From there, players should follow the footprint on the opposite side of the net.

Happy Birthday - 303Cycling Turns 4!
Submitted by David on
Founder, Kris Thompson
To celebrate our 4th year as Colorado's #1 cycling news source we thought our readers might like to know a little more about us: why we started, who we are and where we're going for year five. It's time you learned more about Kris Thompson, meet David Kutcipal and our newest team members Brian Patrick and Ben Welnak. Thank you for your support and Happy 4th Birthday 303Cycling!
Q: What was the impetus for starting 303Cycling?
Kris: I had been involved with online news for years prior to 303Cycling through the software industry as an author of many articles on web technologies in my niche market as a web frameworks specialist. But writing online for other geeks was not very rewarding personally, so I switched to something closer to my passion, cycling!
Q: What was that first year like for you?
Kris: Crickets! A good day we would get about 40 visitors to our site, compared to today when 2000 visits is typical. Also, I spent a great deal of time tracking down the news, finding out the news sources, making the contacts, following their online presence, etc.
Q: What is the most unexpected experience you've had with 303Cycling?
Kris: My memory is terrible but I'm certain of at least two. I remember I was scheduled to interview a very high profile cycling character and I was so excited about the meeting but it was a complete disaster. The person was in a "recreational sedated state" and the conversation flew wilder than a kite on a spring day. Sadly enough I've never published the interview.
Another has to be the amazing photo set that David captured at this year's Mead Roubaix!
Q: What are day to day operations like at 303Cycling?
Kris: Do you remember the Dunkin Donuts commercial from the 80's? It's a lot like that for me, wake up around 5am and review all of the possible news items I have and get to posting. I eventually have to cut it off due to the day job but try throughout the day to deal with emails. Then after work and after my kids are in bed it's back at it, finding the news, communicating with other 303Cycling members and maybe even posting if I have the time and energy.
Q: Where do you see year 5 taking the organization?
Kris: Diversity and professionalism! I've been working hard this year at trying to have a more diverse content base, I want 303Cycling to cover ALL aspects of cycling in the Denver/Boulder region. This means more commuter news, advocacy, mountain biking, and local company highlights.
Our followers should see a higher level of professionalism in our work in year 5 as we now have a paid writer to help with our content, giving it more flow, grammar and body. Hopefully with this extra help David and I can spend more time doing what we do best, being geeks, and making some software/feature improvements to the site.
Year 5 hopefully will see a redesign. Not my highest priority but we want to move away from the "bloggish" look to more of a news media layout and feel.

I also want to add that although at least one of my colleagues likes to fly under the radar - I do NOT do this alone. For example, David Kutcipal is actually my partner in the site although very few people know this. David and I had been colleagues and friends for many years, well before he was into racing, and it was during the first year of 303Cycling that we connected. He was constantly sending me emails with the subject line, "Did you hear?" And we ran with it.
Q: What did you think when Kris first approached you?
David: I wasn't really sure what to think. I was very excited about helping out but wasn't really sure how I could contribute. Kris did the writing and I started by taking over the calendar. It was kind of addicting to make sure we had EVERY cycling event out there included. But I really had no idea what i was getting into or where it would take us. 4 years later and many hours tinkering on the site, I am really happy he did.
Q: How has your photography grown since joining 303Cycling?
David: I was just getting into photography when I started with 303Cycling and the site has not only given me a reason to get out and shoot more but a perfect venue to show some of my work. Photography has since become a true passion of mine, if I'm not on my bike racing, I'm behind my camera taking pictures, especially during cross season. Kris and I also work hard to promote all local cycling photographers. Keeps everyone on their toes.
Q: What is the most unexpected experience you've had with 303Cycling?
David: Lately, unexpected things happen all the time. They range from being able to get photo credentials for big races and being in a position to get those finish line shots or being on the radar of a European marketing firm. It felt pretty good, after their ad campaign was finished, to be asked if 303Cycling would be at EuroBike this year.
Q:What are your thoughts on year 5?
David: It is really amazing where we are now. Year 5? Good question. When I look at our year over year growth in viewership, I really don't think we have reached our potential. I want to fill the gaps within the cycling community that Kris mentioned above and to do so we simply need to cover them better and ultimately connect more people and make the 303Cycling community even stronger.
Other Team members, Brian Patrick and Ben Welnak
The 303Cyling team has grown in year four with the addition of Brian Patrick and his video expertise and Ben Welnak to cover MTB. Here is a little more information about everyone. Thank you again for the support and Happy Birthday 303Cycling!
Kris Thompson grew up in the backwoods of Missouri(a) and discovered the bicycle was a means to be free. His two wheel experiences ranged from motorcycles from age 10 -18 to tons of BMX free styling mixed in. While living in Europe in 1990 he saw his first bike race and was AMAZED at the speed! He took that enthusiasm and his first bike race was the next year, 1991 MTB race in St. Louis. Kris moved to Colorado in 1995 after winning the National Road Cycling Championship for Cat 4 with visions of going pro (inflated ego) but soon learned that racing here in Colorado, no matter the cat, is on a higher level than anywhere else he had previously raced and kept working on his career as a developer. To date he has still managed to get in around 400 races and as a part time resident of Winter Park has renewed his interest in MTBing and returning to his roots by doing some dirt biking as well. Kris' wife Amy has a strong interest in getting kids on bikes and runs a local elementary school's Safe Routes to School Program. Kris hopes to get into bike touring one of these days but only after he returns to competitive MTB racing and endurance MTB racing. Bottom line, 303Cycling combines two of his passions - cycling and "geeking out with software". Friend him - http://www.facebook.com/kristhompson.boulder
David Kutcipal can say he's been in the cycling industry since 1994 when he moved here from Chicago and took a job with Schwinn, in IT of course. After years (and years) of abusing his body running marathons, ultras and 24 hour races, he got on a bike to save himself. He started racing bikes in 2003 and has enjoyed road, cyclocross and MTB. His interest in photography began as an interest in the then new digital technology. Soon after he discovered he had a talent for it. In addition to his cycling photography he has photographed sporting events ranging from his son's soccer to international polo matches. He has also started to show some of his portrait and nature photography locally. He is excited to head back to his home state of Michigan this Fall for his first MTB race in years, The Iceman. And like Kris, 303Cycling gives him the chance to geek out both on bikes and the computer.

Four years, eight bikes, and thousands of miles landed Ben Welnak in the middle of 303Cycling country. He has been a Colorado native-at-heart for the past 2.5 years getting here just as soon as he could convince his wife! Ben quickly learned that the energy and passion of the Colorado Cycling Community is second to none. He is also a mountain biker at heart. In 2007 he jumped head first into the endurance mountain biking scene after several years of running marathons and triathlons. During the last four years he's raced four 24 hour solo races, as well as many 12 hour, 100 mile, and other marathon length races. The people and the late race conversations with fellow racers keep him coming back. He is happy to be a part of 303Cycling and the 303Cycling Community. He looks forward to seeing all of you out on the trail!

Brian Patrick is originally from Pennsylvania and came west, first to Utah in 1994 and then to Boulder in 1995, for the rock climbing, among other things, and knew nothing of cycling until 2005. Although he became involved in the cycling industry fairly recently, he may have the most street cred. In 2006 he filmed at the Tour de France and several other prestigious US road and cross races. His background is in video production and online media with over 6-years of experience producing video in the endurance sports market. He has covered the local Colorado cyclocross scene for the past 4 years and has produced 3 televised broadcasts of the Colorado Cyclocross State Championships. He is a recreational cyclist that enjoys riding in the mountains and competing in a handful of cyclocross races in the fall.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – Researchers out of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, have discovered that patients with colon cancer identified on screening colonoscopy appeared to have lower-stage disease on presentation and better outcomes independent of their staging.
In order for researchers to examine the association of screening colonoscopy with outcomes of colon cancer surgery, they reviewed differences in staging, disease-free interval, risk of recurrence, and survival.
"Compliance to screening colonoscopy guidelines can play an important role in prolonging longevity, improving quality of life, and reducing health care costs through early detection of colon cancer," Ramzi Amri, M.Sc., and his colleagues were quoted as saying.

Community Action is in need of volunteers for the Home Delivered Meals (HDM) Program (also known as "Meals on Wheels") in Branch County.
This program supplies meals to homebound seniors in the county.
The success of these programs rests on the support of a dedicated volunteer team.
Community Action reimburses mileage to HDM volunteers, and will provide training before sending volunteers out. Volunteers are needed four days per week for two to three hours per day.
Amanda Schmidt, director of emergency and nutritional services, notes that volunteers are important to Home Delivered Meals and its mission of helping seniors maintain independence in their homes.
"Operating a volunteer-driven program allows resources to be concentrated on direct participant services, maximizing the number of seniors we can serve," notes Schmidt.
To keep the programs going strong, Community Action is looking for individuals who want to join the volunteer team and make a positive impact in the communities we serve.
There are various volunteer positions available, all of which are an essential part of each program's success.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Apr 01st, 2001
Running Time: 44
Director: Bill Majors
Company: B&D Pleasures
Distribution Companies: Bon-Vue Enterprises
Cast: William Margold, Kimi Lixx, Tierza Thompson, Bill Majors
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Direct this more to the bondage crowd than discipline fans and be aware that ten minutes of trailers at the end of this tape brings the running time closer to the 60 minutes promised on the box cover.
This vid begins with some humorous banter between Bill Majors and Kimi Lixx regarding the signing of a model release, leaving no room for the notion that their play is anything other than consensual. Majors is grandfatherly in his gentle admonitions to Kimi, and hardly pushes the envelope. In fact, at one point, after she is suspended upside down from a forklift and left alone briefly, she screams angrily "Master Bill, get your ass back here! Bastard! Master Bill! Motherfucker! Let me down from here this instant!" Yet, Master Bill hardly even punishes her. Sure, he rips her panties off and gags her with them, wrapping pink tape around her head to keep them in place, but the tape is quickly removed, and the whole incident is put in the past.
Speaking of the past, frequent flashbacks are delineated by a switch from color to black and white, but they detract from the cohesiveness of the production. On the upside, she looks sexy struggling on the forklift, the hog-tying at the end creatively incorporates Kimi's ponytail into the equation, and her frequently-changed garments are generally quite flattering.

It's pretty clear by now... I'm a book
nerd worm. In order to save a little money, I got a library card!!! I felt no older than seven years old filling out the form and signing the back of the card. I immediately began plucking books off the shelf- I made myself stop at four. I figured that was a good start!
Since coming home from Georgetown, I've worked my way through the following books:
(in reverse order, you know- to mix it up)
Fly Away Home
Jennifer Weiner
Coincidentally, I decided to read this book in the midst of the Arnold, um, controversy.... Fly Away Home was an interesting look at male politicians and, more importantly, the role of the women in their lives. I did like the references to Georgetown... even if they weren't entirely positive.
Good in Bed
Jennifer Weiner
Charming and funny, basically just an easy summer read!
The Silent Gift
Michael Landon Jr.
Eh, I didn't realize how strong the religious tones of the book would be. Nonetheless, the story was good and uplifting.
The Ivy Chronicles
Karen Quinn
Basically a hybrid of The Nanny Diaries and the documentary Nursery University. Witty and quite hilarious. I loved all the characters, especially the poor children caught up in their parent's own desires and ambitions. Apparently it's being turned into a movie.... definitely looking forward to it!
Your Voice in my Head
Emma Forrest
The PR firm promoting this book actually sent it to me. It's a memoir about a young women's personal experience with mental illness. The ups. The downs. And the constant psychologist she grew to trust. If you're into memoirs, it's worth a read. I read it in less than a day!
I can't wait to do another round up of books!!!
PS Let me know what's on your reading list!
PPS Don't forget to join in for the second month of the College Prepster book club!

Kathy and Jessica Pischke enjoy the typical mother-daughter activities — shopping, doing lunch and catching the latest chick flick. But, unlike the typical mother-daughter activities, they also enjoy studying for their I-BEST (Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training) Nursing Assistant class at Moraine Park Technical College.
The West Bend duo enrolled for the Nursing Assistant program in fall 2010, both to pursue future careers in health care. Kathy, Jessica's mother, joined the I-BEST Nursing Assistant program because she wants to work in health care for the elderly as a physical therapist or assistant. She wants to make sure they are treated with the kindness and respect they deserve and can't wait to put her nursing assistant certification to good use when she graduates this December.
Daughter Jessica always knew she wanted to go into medicine to help others. She graduated from West Bend East High School in May and became interested in Moraine Park when Kathy brought home information on the nursing assistant program. Jessica also completes the I-BEST program in December and plans to continue her education at Moraine Park to become a registered nurse.
A stay-at-home mom for the past 17 years, Kathy always wanted to go back to school. "Heading back into the classroom was a pretty big leap for me, but it's been great so far," she said. The Pischke ladies have class together every Monday, Tuesday and Friday. "Jessica has such a busy lifestyle, so it's nice to count on seeing her at least three times a week," Kathy said.
Jessica agrees. "It's pretty unique to go to school with your mom; it's definitely bringing us closer together."
What has especially stood out for Jessica and Kathy are the instructors. "Our instructors are phenomenal," said Kathy. "If it wasn't for them, I don't think I would understand half of the things in the textbook. They take the time to explain new concepts and materials and that helps me feel more confident in my skills." The class is unique as it is team taught by two instructors, a nursing instructor who delivers the content and a basic education instructor who focuses on more general academic skill building.
Both are impressed with the hands-on technology in the new nursing simulation center on Moraine Park's West Bend campus. Jessica is excited to continue her nursing training and looks forward to experiencing the new patient simulators. To date, they have been learning skills such as taking vital signs, bathing and dressing their patients, making beds and other direct resident care.
"This has been a great start," said Jessica. She said attending Moraine Park is the perfect way to get her feet wet and experience a glimpse of the nursing field before continuing in her training.
"They have made a great team," said Nancy Pusch, Moraine Park basic education instructor. "It is awesome to see how they watch out for each other in class. Each is concerned about the other's success in the program. Kathy has gone out of her way to organize out-of-class study groups, offering to create extra study opportunities for all the students. Jessica has brought a fine knowledge of computer skills to the course, offering to help others who struggle with creating PowerPoints. I appreciate the strengths each brings to the program."
"This is a great opportunity, and we are glad to be experiencing it together," Jessica and Kathy said.
The I-BEST Nursing Assistant program is funded by the Waukesha-Ozaukee-Washington Workforce Development, Inc., through a Skills Jump Start grant. For more information on the I-BEST Nursing Assistant class through Moraine Park, contact Pusch, at 262-335-5821, or Karrie Bruegman-May, Nursing Assistant instructor at 262-335-5709.
