The Opera Guild does a simply amazing job of supporting young up-and-coming opera stars through its outreach programs.
Palm Springs, CA (PRWEB) April 04, 2013
Brad Schmett, Broker Associate with Luxury Homes by Keller Williams and real estate expert has today announced that luxury homes in the Palm Springs area will enjoy a substantial boost as the area celebrates Opera in the Park this spring. One of the premier cultural events of the social season, Opera in the Park is always heavily attended by both locals and visitors.
Given the caliber of this event, luxury homes will be more heavily impacted than other types of real estate. Presented by the Palm Springs Opera Guild of the Desert, this year's list of superb performers is breathtaking. Anush Avetisyan, the celebrated soprano from UCLA and student of Vladimir Chernof will be on hand along with baritone David Castillo, mezzo-soprano Lauren Edwards, soprano Alannah Garnier, tenor Joshua Guerrero, soprano Marina Harris, baritone Jure Pockaj and tenor Rodell Rosel.
Schmett commented on the upcoming gala, "The Opera Guild does a simply amazing job of supporting young up-and-coming opera stars through its outreach programs. For the past 15 years Opera in the Park has attracted the most culturally relevant people you will ever meet. Many people do not realize how culturally rich the Coachella Valley is but once they get here they are delighted and want to stay. Even luxury home buyers like to get a great deal and today's low interest rates are able to offer that. I am looking forward to showing off our most exquisite properties and hearing some world famous arias beautifully performed on April 7."
Look for Music Director Mona Lands and Maestro Valery Rivkin to present one of the most exciting shows ever featuring a special tribute to Jacque Offenbach and thrilling performances of "Opera's Greatest Hits" as the sounds of crystal voices ring across Palm Springs. Don't miss Sunday, April 7 at Sunrise Park for a relaxing and refreshing afternoon of uplifting music among the swaying palms.

My Meaning Of Love - Poem by Musa Ndhlovu
My true meaning of love,
A feeling that makes you fall in love.
I say love is a undefined feeling,
Some say it is a lovable feeling.
True love is unconditional,
Endless and kindly infinity.
Love makes you do unwanted
Things and things that are wanted.
They say love is blind,
But I say love is round,
With no starting point,
Nor ending point.
Love is the reason of the
Smile on my face and the
Stars in my eyes and the
Growing faith in thee.

I really loved reading your thoughts, obviously you know what are you talking about! Your site is so simple to navigate too, I've bookmarked all of it in my favourites 😀
We are a professional manufacturer that produce the led display, led panel light ,led tube and other led components.
Science is so shit!
i completely agree
This is very poorly written. Above you say that Mag is cheaper and easier to die cast than Aluminum, so why does your summary say that Aluminum is cheaper?
Also, you say "An estimated tool life for aluminum versus magnesium production die is 100,000 to 150,000 shots." What does this mean? You'll get 100k to 150k more shots in Al?
Additionally, there are grades of aluminum that are lighter than Mag.
Lastly, Aluminum needs to be anodized for corrosion resistance and surface finish, where's the comparison with this? I will agree that you can get much better finishes on Al parts.
In 1970, I found a walker for my father who was very weak and difficult to get around, the walker was made of magnesium and it was so light, it helped him to live to 1983, where my mother started to use it until 1994, then my wife used it till 2007, and now i'm using it. I've been to the the hospital where they use this light weight aluminum walker, and to me it weighs like a ton. I told them to keep it, they were very surprised at my attitude, but I knew the answer.

A Golden Retriever and Poodle reaches full size at a year and a half (18 months). So the mix between the two breeds would be the same. 18 months.

We are looking for a female Goldendoodle puppy for our son's birthday and could take immediately. We have always had dogs and currently have 2 female Goldendoodles - Mouse, 8 and Beans, 5. They live inside with us. They also have a fenced in backyard that's 100 by 100. We live near St. Louis.
May I ask why you don't want her? I have a 3 year old doodle who wants a sister. Is she an F1B by chance?
3 Comments
When breeding mixed breed dogs, F1 means that the dam and sire of the puppy are both purebred, such as a Golden Retriever and a Standard Poodle. F2 means that both dam and sire are F1 puppies, so both dam and sire are half and half of each breed. F1B or F2B means that one of the parents of the puppy is an F1 or F2 dog and the other parent of the puppy is a purebred. Example: F1 Goldendoodle dam (Half Golden Retriever/Half Poodle) + Golden Retriever sire = F1B puppies.
Just for clarification, it's not often desired to breed an F1 Goldendoodle back to a Golden Retriever. The more desirable cross would be an F1 Goldendoodle back to a Poodle. These are the traditional F1B puppies.
Yes Crossing an F1 and a GR creates a dog which is mostly GR, a shedder and is not hypoallergenic
The Golden Retriever/Poodle cross, otherwise known as the Goldendoodle is not a purebred dog. They are a mixture of two breeds, so there is no set standard for sizing when it comes to the dog itself. The best thing to do is to look at the sire and dam of the puppies so view how big they are. The puppies should grow to that size, if not a little smaller. But again, there is no standard size, so the puppy could even be bigger or much smaller then it's dam and sire.
Goldendoodles are commonly bred from a golden retriever/standard poodle cross and typically will range in size from 65-75 lbs. There are now breeders who offer a "mini-doodle", with the poodle parent being a smaller poodle. These dogs would range in size from a smaller scale of their smaller parent to upwards of a Golden Retriever size. Females are typically smaller than males in any size Goldendoodle. Although not a recognized breed, Goldendoodles are a prized family pet due to their low shed coat and their demonstrated "hybrid vigor". Hybrid vigor is defined as the "increased vigor or general health, and disease resistance" as compared the inbreeding typical of more traditional dog breed.

The Golden Retriever, Poodle cross is a mixed breed of dog with no set standards. Which means that by any definition, there is no way of telling what temperament, size, coat your dog will have. Since there are many different 'types' of Goldendoodles, it is very hard to tell at puppy-hood what your dog will be like. But, by doing research and by meeting the dam and sire of your puppy, you should be able to get a glimpse of what your puppy's temperament may be like when he/she grows up. The reason why there are over 450 standards and registered breeds out there is so that people can read about the standard of the dog and get a pretty good idea of what their dog will be like when fully grown. When mixing breeds together, there is no telling what the dog could turn out to be like. That is a risk you take by getting a mixed breed dog.
Mine is a gentle giant. He weighs 85 pounds and is an inside dog. He is very gentle. He loves other dogs. They are like any other breed. They need to be socialized and trained. Mine is a pleaser. He will do whatever I tell him to just to make me happy. They need exercise as he tends to get lazy in the house.
My dog was the dog of my life. He was a human dog! My best buddy. Everyone in my family and extended family loved him. He looked like a puppy until he died at 12 1/2. He got Lyme disease and anaplasmosis which he then got cancer but it was the Lyme that took him out. I miss him everyday. So smart. Walked off leash, easy to train, lots of energy but most happy being with his person. He loved people and all animals. Everyone says he was the sweetie at dog they ever met. I had so many offers to take him. Friends called him Hollywood . He could get bored if left alone too long. You could see it in his eyes. Sensitive stomach, loved to bring gifts to people, especially shoes so you were always missing one. He was 76 pounds. He looked bigger due to hair but if I cut him he was skinny. Loved to swim. Smarter then my golden. The best dog. Shed in clumps when he was older. Easy to scoop up! Hope that helps
They are generally smart and very easily trainable like a poodle ( and a GR ) and sweet like a GR
A great Family dog

Mandrien Consulting Group
Mandrien Consulting Knows That Good Business Means Strong Family Values
Trust Mandrien Consulting Group to realize that the family is the home of the heart. Within the family, bonds are not only emotional but also genetic. Shared traits and experiences draw family members together in ways that can't be duplicated. Some close friendships last through the years, but the family connection is the center from which we work. The security of close family ties is what enables us to reach out to others in meaningful ways.
Mandrien Consulting Group believes that the family can be strengthened. Families form the foundation of our human interactions; It is within the family that we first learn to share, to comfort one another, and to express our individuality. The nurture and care of the family enable us to grow into responsible adults. In the family, we learn to interact, usually in positive ways but sometimes in more negative ways. As we separate from family and go out on our own, we still carry with us the strength of knowing these people love us no matter what.
Mandrien Consulting Group professionals embrace the notion that you can enhance your interpersonal relationships. They will help you understand and profit from the unique bonds with parents and siblings, aunts and uncles and grandparents who provide support and encouragement throughout life. The family is the source of early development and the sustaining power that enables individuals to find their way in the world.
Mandrien Consulting Group can help families deal with the stress of the economic downturn. Due to financial strain, both parents often have to work outside the home. Mothers may feel guilty about not being home for their children, but they are working to provide for the family. They may need the support and understanding of a well-informed and compassionate counselor to deal with the stresses of both working an outside job and functioning as a parent.
Families help one another in times of stress and heartache, and Mandrien Consulting Group is there to support this effort. Defending a family member from unfair pressure is a natural response. Families grow together as they provide mutual support and understanding through times of difficulty. Even though arguments will inevitably erupt in this close relationship, the family will pull together for mutual support and comfort.

Martin Vibration Systems Introduces Vaccuum-Mounted Trailor Vibrator to Speed Unloading and Improve Safety
Date Posted: August 2, 2013
Marine City, MI—An innovative air-powered vibrator is helping bulk carriers empty their hopper trailer loads faster and more safely by agitating settled materials and energizing flow, while discouraging common but potentially dangerous manual tactics.
The new design features a quick-attach vacuum mounting base to locate the unit precisely where it's needed on a given truck or load, rather than being restricted to a permanently-mounted bracket.
Unlike traditional truck vibrators, the MT-FASTTM Hopper Trailer Vibrator needs no mounting bracket, so it can be positioned at corners, valleys or other problem areas where material flow tends to stall.
Because it's affixed directly to the hopper wall, energy is transferred more efficiently than with a bracket-mounted vibrator.
By expediting material flow, the units reduce unloading times and the risk of personal injury or truck damage that can result from using a pry bar or hammering on hopper walls.
"Different materials may hang up in a variety of locations in a bottom hopper," observed Mike Lindbeck of MVS.
"Even the same type of material can demonstrate flow variations in different loads or fluctuating weather.
"So using the vacuum mount to allow drivers to choose their own mounting location is critical."
The new design was engineered to be the first truck vibrator powered by a rig's air supply that has both the force and location versatility to succeed in this difficult application.
Driven by the onboard compressor, the unit requires less than 15 CFM (424.8 LPM) for effective operation.
The concept is so unique that MVS has applied for a patent on the product.
The new MVS vibrator is a non-impacting linear design to help prevent trailer damage, yet it delivers a powerful 200 pounds of force to move materials effectively.
The low-frequency, high-amplitude energy is well suited to large particle sizes and low bulk density materials, such as grain, meal and other agricultural products.
The quiet, reliable design features adjustable amplitude, while the frequency is factory set for optimum results.
All models are explosion-proof and washdown-safe.
"This design is engineered to help bulk carriers overcome flow problems, even when hauling materials with high moisture content or a high entanglement factor," Lindbeck added.
"It helps break up settled loads that bridge over the trap and reduces build-up that leads to ratholing."

My daughter, who was visiting us in Oklahoma, wanted to get a session with an RKC instructor while she was here and persuaded me to go with her. Dustin was able to quickly assess some of her shoulder issues and gave her some ideas to work on and showed her a new way to work on pull ups. My other daughter and I were total beginners, but he guided us through some strength and flexibility exercises and then to my amazement even had me lifting a kettlebell. He was positive and encouraging and totally knowledgeable about anatomy and flexibility. Even though I'm not an athlete, I am enthusiastic about seeing Dustin again and working to retain flexibility and strength as I get older. Anyone could benefit from even one session with Dustin.
I have known Dustin for a little more than a year--he hosted the Edmond, OK HKC I attended in 2010. In that time, I have come to know him as not only one of the best teachers I have had, but also as one of the most selfless, positive, encouraging people I am able to call 'friend'. When you train with Dustin, you are truly getting a personal experience and not a typical workout. When I struggled to pass the RKC snatch test, Dustin guided me physically and mentally, as he realized the power my imagination held and how I could harness that to my benefit. Over Thanksgiving 2011, I met with Dustin, attempted the snatch test, and once more came up short. He put me through a pretty intense snatch training session and then we put the kettlebells down and talked--philosophy, literature, science, film, family, and psychology.Forty eight hours later I passed the snatch test.If you ever have the opportunity to work with this man, you should seize it and count yourself lucky to have been fortunate enough to learn from him. Dustin doesn't teach you kettlebells--he uses kettlebells as tools to help you unlock your full potential in life.
I am a soldier in army special operations and I can tell you that the kettlebell workout is by far the best total workout I have ever done. I attribute this to my instructor Dustin. He truly enjoys teaching kettlebells and other fitness classes. I am stronger now at 34 than I was at 24. I have fewer aches and pains now than when I started. For me it is a life change and a necessity of my job. We even use them at my unit as part of crossfit. I cannot recommend Dustin highly enough to anyone interested in kettlebells. From first timer to advanced he can teach you how to do it and keep it fun. He will make the weak strong, and the strong, stronger.De Oppresso Liber
I recently assisted at the RKC on 29 April. I was assigned to Team Rip. From the beginning I was impressed with Rip's organization. He was always well prepared in advance. If something came up at the last minute, there was no drama, just a " This is what we're gonna do." When questioned about technique, the answers were right there; no " Um, well, um ..." My weekend as an assistant was a great opportunity to observe leadership first hand. In summary, when I hear the phrase, " Still waters run deep", Dustin Rippetoe comes to mind.
I had the wonderful experience of having Dustin as my HKC instuctor and my RKC Team Leader. His calm and strong presence helped settle my nervous energy and absorb so much of what he was teaching I felt extremely blessed to have someone like him training me. His obvious belief and deep knowledge of the principles of the RKC system is easily felt and transmitted through his teaching and training ethic; It will take me many moons to absorb everything I have learned. He is a shining example of the RKC.
I had the pleasure of working with Dustin at the April 2011 RKC in St.Paul. He is a mighnty leader who leads by example and sets the standard of training to the highest level. He is what being a Team Leader is all about in the RKC. His knowledge base and passion for kettlebell training is surperb. I highly recommend Dustin to anyone who is looking to step up the're training and take it to the next level. Thank You Dustin for an awesome experience! Go team Ripp! Train Hard, Train Smart!
Dustin has the intangibles. His keen eye and style of communication provide any client, at any level, to swiftly develop a greater sense of physical awareness providing more strength, endurance, and mobility INSTANTLY. As a RKC myself, I'm very picky, some would say judgmental, when it comes to assessing other trainers. Dustin sets a high bar for all other trainers to follow. His accomplishments are no accident.
I was a member of team Rippetoe at the April RKC in St. Paul. I met Dustin at the meet and greet on thursday evening and immediately was put at ease and felt reasonably at ease. As the weekend progressed Dustin turned out to be an amazing illustration of quiet strength. His knowledge, his command and his delivery were so proffessional that I realized that I was learning in spite of my fear and eventually my fear was replaced with confidence. I am 56 years old and have not been challenged like this in a very long time, being a member of team Rip made all the difference for me!
I spent two hours with Dustin last year and learned so much that today I took a friend with me for a lesson. Dustin plays to your strengths and helps downplay any "lessor strengths".. I find it amazing that he can give you just the right skill building exercise to correct a problem in form. His knowledge and passion for kettlebell take even a beginner (like me) and someone who's never even seen a kettlebell (my friend) and give us a safe and effective practice to improve our health. He is all about practicing health and not just throwing big weights to workout! I can't say enough positive things about Dustin!
I have had the great privilege of being introduced to kettlebell training by Dustin. I really look forward to every class because I know I will leave with increased flexibility, strength, stamina, and most importantly, knowledge. I am constantly impressed with Dustin's in-depth knowledge of the discipline , as well as his passion for teaching others. The true test of a person's understanding of a subject is teaching it, and he is a top-notch teacher. Every time I train with Dustin, he finds new ways to demonstrate concepts, and can consistently suggest personalized drills and pointers that help me improve. Sometimes I am utterly amazed at the muscle "connections" I'm able to make with his advice. I never expected to enjoy kettlebell training so much, but thanks to a great instructor, I do.
I absolutely loved this class. The step by step instruction of the techniques and the reasoning behind what we were doing was awesome. I was amazed at the difference just one class made in my flexibility! I can't wait to do more.
I have learned so much in such little time. Dustin is one of the best instructors i have ever had. Very good at explaining in detail and breaking it down for the people that need help and correcting the little things so we dont end up hurting are selfs. I hope to learn alot more from him. Thank you
Dustin is a GREAT teacher. He is very pateint and explains things very well. I never thought I would love lifting weights of any kind but I look forward to his class every week. I have learned so much that not only helps me in his class but how I carry myself outside of class. Dustin is the BEST.
Being a Martial Artist I have had the pleasure of training with many great instructors from various disciplines. Dustin Rippetoe is right up there with the best of class. Dustin went to great lengths to put everything in to terms that related to my discipline, and how the proper use of my core working with the right breathing could dramatically increase my power. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!
Dustin Rippetoe is a very good teacher. I drove over four hours round trip for a two hour lesson with Dustin. It was well worth the time, and the money I paid. His instruction was clear, concise and most importantly....accurate and helpful.
I love Mr. RIPPETOE! I have worked with Mr. Rippetoe at numerous workshops, certs or any time I have the chance and from the first time I meet him his knowledge, passion and incite, whether it be KB or life, has always been a goal of mine to achieve. I've never had a workout with him that I didnt walk away enlightened from the mind of RIPPETOE!!!!!!
Whew! Just the snapshot of information I was able to obtain from Dustin during HKC training in Oklahoma will keep me busy for a long while. :) His keen eye for technique and sharp skills for correcting and improving mobility pattern was awesome to say the least. I have not only improved because of his insightful teaching techniques and recommendations, but I have been able to apply the information with my clients. Awesome and looking forward to learning even more from you! :)
I attended the HKC workshop in MN in the end of July. I cant even begin to explain all the things I learned. Dustin had a great way of pulling me aside to offer instruction and advice. A certain "no nonsense" kind of way that I found to be very effective. And in turn, I have made the best attempts to use a similar fashion while training my clients.
The fact that Mr. Rippetoe could observe my techniques, and offer assistance that was practical, and immediately made a difference. I cant think of any other word besides FANTASTIC that describes him, his knowledge, and his way of teaching.
Dustin took time out of his day to give me the best kettlebell instruction I have received. Very personable. His corrective tips were a huge help for me in my training.
I had the opportunity to be introduced to RKC Kettlebell techniques from Dustin at the August NSCA OK State Clinic. I found Dustin be a good instructor and coach. His verbal cues during hands on training were easily understood so that corrections in form and technique could be quickly made. Even though there was a fairly large group, a limited amount of time during his presentation, and several of KB exercises to teach Dustin was able to keep his "coach's eye" on the whole group and personally assist with corrections.My only complaints are that he doesn't speak loud enough at all times, and he really could have used 3 hours instead of a little over 1 1/2.
Dustin was a true professional when I asked for his help in prepping for the HKC. He spent ample time with me, assesed me with the CK-FMS and worked thru some instabilities I have. Also, he helped me to overcome my biggest obstacle, the bent arm hang. He is very knowledgable with the mind/body connection and had me '99% there' after just 3 sets, incredible. Dustin took the time to review my swing, squat, and get up, all required moves for the HKC. After a few tweaks to my movement pattern I improved in all three areas. He then added 'layers' of movement to my existing workout, making it more complex and challenging. In just 3 hours, Dustin completely changed how I view the kettlebell workout, the process, and the movement involved with it. 5 weeks til my HKC Cert and I'm ready. Thanks Dustin!
After spending twenty years in the fitness industry and attending countless seminars and workshops throughout those years, I found Dustin and his knowlege of the art of kettlebells to be incredibly motivating. His vast knowlege of his craft and his ability to present it is excellent. I look forward to further instruction and guidance from Dustin at an upcoming HKC and as I begin to prepare for the RKC in 2011.
I thought Dustin did a great job of explaining and teaching kettlebell techniques. He's very informative, sincere, and passionate when he leads his workshop and I learned some great tips, techniques, and cues from him that I didn't know before. Overall, I was very pleased with the information and hands-on experience I received from Dustin!
We are so fortunate to have such great RKC people in Oklahoma.I have got to know Dustin in the last year.He a great teacher.He is so knowledgeable and so approachable.That must be a trademark with the RKC!Thanks for all your help Dustin.Thanks for hosting RKC events in Oklahoma.
One of the things that I admire most about Dustin is his humility. He exemplifies quiet strength. We in the OKC area are very fortunate to have such a great mind who is willing help you in anyway that he can. Dustin is committed to making the lives of everyone around him better. In October 2009, he hosted a "Beyond the Basics" workshop with Master instructors O'Connor & Whitley. Talk about life changing experiences...I will never forget it. Dustin provides you with a path, all you have to do is stay on it. Dustin was a critical component in my successful completion of my RKC certification. I attended an HKC workshop with Dustin & Master Engum a couple of weeks prior. I believe this gave me a competitive advantage at the RKC. I was extremely well prepared & many instructors commented on it. I can't say thanks enough. If you are seeking to improve your skills in strength, conditioning, mobility, or personal development than Dustin is your guy.
I had the wonderful opportunity to meet and train under Dustin at the Ft. Worth HKC. It was by far one of my most enjoyable experiences in the kettlebell commumnity. Dustin is a warrior and a scholar. He imparts his knowledge with the deep understanding of why we are training. I found that he is an encyclopedia of RKC tools and tactics and he freely shares that knowledge.
Dustin was able to point me in the right direction to fix restrictions that I have. He made a few corrections on my Get Ups and literally changed the way I view them. They have always been a favorite exercise, but now I understand why we perfom the technique.
If you have the chance to train with Dustin, take it! It is worth the time and effort.
A great instructor and a great guy. His is especially a wealth of knowledge on the get-up, which is also a favorite of mine. I really appreciated all of the tips he gave me at the HKC and the RKC prep.
Dustin found me through the DD website. We and other OKC RKC's and KB interested folks in OKC had dinner. Then Dustin hosted a weekend with Jeff O'connor and David Whitley. After awakening me to the reality that being an RKC doesn't mean that i know anything that weekend; I have since begun to have Dustin train me with CK-FMS screens and ideas, as well as some Z-Health concepts.
I now feel confident that we will defeat most (if not all) of my Disfunction, so that I can perform at an RKC or better level in my training, my clients' training, and in my sports (Volleyball and martial arts).
Dustin is excellent at finding the language to guide me to a better understanding of my disfunction, the path to correcting that disfunction, and the path to improve on those things at which I am already fully functioning.
I look forward to working on becomming a CK-FMS myself this May, and fully expect Dustin's help will be why I can get all the work done well and in a timely fashion in order to achieve that new (for me) certifiation and any future ones, like RKC II, Z-Health and Indian Clubs.
Dustin assisted with a recent HKC course I attended. He provided a great amount of assistance and technique tips/corrections that corrected the issues I was having. He did a great job working with all of us in the class, and he obviously has done his homework. Dustin is a great instructor and was an asset to the class.
I was a 280 lb. couch potato whose activity level was almost 0. I told Dustin my goal was to increase my flexibility and accomplish daily activities without pain. Dustin has been training me for just over a month now and I am already seeing positive results from the training. His training has focused on my doing the exercises correctly and not just the number of reps I can achieve. Unlike other typical gym training I have done in the past, Dustin's approach keeps me motivated to do the exercises at home and look forward to each training session.
He has shown the patients to work with someone at my level of inactivity and he is helping me move again. I am moving more every week with less and less pain. I am amazed with the results I already see and feel.
Anyone who has tried typical gym training needs to talk with Dustin. If he can get me moving and seeing results, imagine what he could do for you.
I was so thankful that Dustin was there to help guide me through the HKC at Lonestar kettlebell in Lubbock, Texas. His constant professional observations and form corrections were instrumental in my success. He has a calm yet demanding manner in instructing that gave me the confidence to keep pushing and thinking about every movement I was trying to improve. Dustin is a wonderful example of what the RKC has to offer anyone looking for an instructor with volumes of knowledge and the natural ability to teach it.
I attended the first Texas HKC in Lubbock, TX on January 23, 2010 at Jason Marshall's Lonestar Kettlebells. Dustin was one of the RKCs (RKC II) that was there providing the most professional instruction that I've ever received. Dustin advised me on some very subtle changes, whether it was a slight adjustment of hand or foot position, moving the knee to open the hip, and these made a tremendous improvement in my performance and understanding of the movement. Dustin's advice definitely contributed to my success in becoming an HKC Instructor.
I highly recommend Dustin to anyone that wants to take their training to a higher level.
I would not have dreamed I could have made it through HKC without your encouragement and continued mentoring. I probably would have put off testing forever if you did not push me in that direction. I know you would not have done so if I was not ready and thanks to you I am moving forward, growing and learning more every day.
Dustin is an excellent kettle bell instructor, but he also teaches more than just KB's. He teaches form, technique and ways of strength. In order to prepare for the KB's, Dustin makes sure that your body is ready by testing it. After two sessions, I feel more "grounded" and stronger, I would suggest contacting Dustin if you are interested in getting fit and strong.
I am fairly new to KB's but not to the fitness industry. I am a certfied personal trainer and looking to expand my knowledge. I met Dustin at the Way of Strength seminar in October in OKC. I have limited experience with KB's. After talking to Dustin I decided to take some private lessons from him to help me get ready for HKC. After my initial screening we went right to work and after just a couple of sessions my Swings have greatly improved. I learned that a swing is Not just a swing. I will continue to use Dustin to guide me through HKC and then RKC in the future. Dustin teaches in a way that makes understanding and doing much easier.
I've done martial arts for 16 yrs, but after working with Dusty over the period of a couple months and practicing what he has shown me, I've seen dramatic changes in the flexibility of my hips and my back. Now, at 32, I'm more flexible in my hips now than when I was 18. He is a gifted teacher and athlete, and has a unique gift when it comes to communicating and listening to his clients. Highly recommended.
I spent a mere three hours with Dustin and obtained enough "mental fodder" to last several months. Dustin's understanding of complex movements is unquestionable, while his ability to break those same movements down into easily digestible pieces is definitely one of his strong suits. If you're in the Oklahoma area and are even remotely interested in training (practicing) with kettlebells it would be wrong not to give Dustin a call!!!
At this year's CK-FMS I had the pleasure of spending 4 days in the Dustin's company. At first sight Dustin is the redneck incarnate. My European prejudices was quickly put to shame though since Dustin proved to be extremely friendly, humble, intelligent and knowleable to boot. Our conversations ranged from the intricacies of the Hardstyle and CK-FMS philosophy to martial arts and holistic living.I would love to have Dustin as my coach, so far I will have to settle having him as my friend. Should you find yourself in the vicinity of Dustin and/or his facility please take advantage of the opportunity to train with one of the very best.
I've been working out with Dustin for a few months now. His excitement and passion for kettle-bells and for teaching these techniques to others is motivating and inspiring. When I started working out with him I had just come off a radical diet for which I was still doing "maintenance" and monitoring my food intake. Dustin took extra care with making sure that the exercise program he designed for me was compatible. He is very conscious about each student's needs, desires, and concerns. Safety is ALWAYS his number one priority. He also takes the time to explain why and how kettle-bell techniques affect your body. This helps in performing the techniques correctly, and also aids in keeping us safe. If you have the opportunity to workout with or take a class from Dustin, don't let it pass you by! The experience is rewarding in more ways than can possibly be captured in words.
I first meet Dustin at the OCT 08 RKC. I was assisting Team Ron Morris, Dustin was assisting Pavel, and needless to say we were both pretty nervous. Throughout the weekend Dustin never played favorites, was never afraid to say what need to be said and most importantly was never unprofessional with the students. Dustin???s vast knowledge of Kettlebells and Martial Arts make him the go to guy for anyone looking to not only be a better Kettlebell lifter but be a better person as well???.let him show you the way of strength. Jwood RKC
Dustin is AWESOME.. That aside he is a very mindful teacher. He has the ability to energize people and help build them up. His knowledge of martial arts shows as he teaches you about how the body works and shows you how you can do things you never thought possible. Working out with Dustin has truly been an honor and I always look forward to getting together with him for greater in lighting and energizing. His knowledge and love of Kettlebells shows as he takes you through a workout. He is always willing to listen to your concerns and show you little things to help you ???Be Safe-be strong???.
If you ever have the chance to work out and study with Dustin, you should! Many of us may never meet a more devoted and honest teacher than Dustin. And if you are lucky you may get to learn from Ryan Costello also.
I was thankful to have Dustin as an assistant team leader at the RKC. He could always pick out breakdowns in your form but did so in an encouraging way. The man is very knowledgable about using kettlebells safely to exceed what you think are your limits. Next time I'm down in Oklahoma I will look him up to train with him.
I work out with Dustin at least once a week. He is very conscientious of his students needs. Dustin fashions each workout to the individual student. He is very knowledgable, and seeks with each workout to accumulate additional knowledge. Dustin always strives for excellence in his teaching and his passion for the subject is deffinitely noticable in each and every aspect of his instruction.
I enjoy learning the techniques from Dustin. I would recommend Dustin to anyone that is interested in a Kettlebell exercise program.
Dustin has a keen eye for proper Kettelbell technique. He is not only an excellent instructor he is also an excellent student -- he is always learning and pushing himself to be better at his craft. I look forward to many training sessions with Dustin as I know he is always striving for improvment, not only in his students, but in himself. That desire for excellence sets him apart as an instructor with unsurpassed integrity. I can highly recommend Dustin as Kettlebell instructor.
I work out with Dustin on a regular basis. He makes sure that every workout is a drive to perfection for both himself and for those who work out with him. He is disciplined and committed to bringing out of all of our best at each meeting. One thing that I have have noticed about Dustin and I hope to get from him is his life-long commitment to be a student of whatever he is doing. When he is instructing he is constantly trying to learn from from those to whom he is giving instruction. I would recommend Dustin as a Kettlebell instructor. He will be committed to bringing out the best in each person he instructs.
Dustin Rippetoe is a great RKC for several reasons. One, he is very patient in his instruction to make sure your fundamentals are solid. After I had the basics down he was able to give me a lot of effective methods for cleaning up and improving my technique. Second, he has a very deep understanding of all the KB techniques he teaches and strength in general. He is very good at teaching a technique in a way that makes sense to the student. One of the reasons I use KB's is to help with martial art training. If there is a new KB technique that I'm having trouble with, he will find a way to relate it to my martial art training so that I can look at it in a new way that is easier for me to understand. Lastly, he has a great attitude. Huge ego's are pretty common in the realm of martial arts instruction and weight lifting. Dustin has the skill and confidence to teach effectively while still being humble. This is the sign of a great instructor. I highly recommend Dustin Rippetoe to anyone who is interested in getting into KB's.

If Boston Celtics big man Kelly Olynyk had been going home for the All-Star Break, it probably would have happened. But now that he has headed to New Orleans for the weekend, there's no chance he'll be getting a haircut.
Olynyk's hair has been growing as much as his game during his rookie season. The Kamloops, British Columbia native has never had it cut in the United States, and his locks will continue to lengthen for the rest of the season now that he's traveling south to participate in the BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge.
"I don't know (when I will cut it)," Olynyk told Basketball Insiders. "I'm undetermined."
The legend of his tresses began when Olynyk was attending Gonzaga University. He lived with two soccer fans who got him watching European games. Olynyk noticed a Spanish player, Sergio Ramos, who sported long hair held back with a headband during matches. The college student was inspired.
"I saw Sergio Ramos' hair and all these other European soccer players," Olynyk explained. "They wore a little band and had it (their hair) behind their ears. I liked how it looked and I wanted to try it out, so I just started growing it. Part of it was because I've never gotten my hair cut in the USA. I always had it cut in Canada."
Olynyk doesn't have a specific reason for Canadian-only salon visits. It's just something he does, part of his no-explanation-necessary mentality.
"(Long hair is) kind of against the social norm, I guess. I just like the flow," he said. "It's just kind of part of my style now."
Olynyk estimates he owns around 10 hair bands and he keeps them on hand in his locker at TD Garden, at the Celtics practice facility, in his backpack and at home. He has a variety of colors, but can only wear certain ones during games per NBA uniform guidelines.
With another half of the regular season to play, Olynyk will have to wait a few months for an official haircut. In the meantime, he has a backup solution if he really needs to manage the length.
"I might trim it up," Olynyk said with a smile. "I'd have to do it myself, put it on Vine."
Turns out, getting a haircut isn't the only activity Olynyk has never done in the United States.
"I've never went to a movie theater in the U.S. either," Olynyk shared. "I don't know what I would say (if I was invited). I'm not a big movie guy, to tell you the truth. I like to watch some movies here and there, but not really at the movies."
As unique as Olynyk's routine is, it is working for him this season. He is averaging 6.9 points (seventh among rookies) and 4.7 rebounds (second among rookies) per game, including 8.0 points and 6.7 boards this month.
"You've just got to be free flowing," Olynyk said. "Go with the flow."

8/31 Is The 25th Clean Air Action Day Of 2012!
That's quite a few compared to the past few years. In 2011, West Michigan had a grand total of 8 "Clean Air" action days, the new name the EPA gave what used to be called "Ozone Action" days. The days where the wind blows ozone and other unhealthy airborne particles from places like Chicago and Milwaukee.
Every time there's a "Clean Air" action day, West Michigan residents are encouraged to not mow the lawn and not fill up the tank. Save some gas and the air. And fixed Rapid bus routes are FREE on action days. Which means free bus rides for me! I take the bus often, even though I have a car. It saves some gas and maybe a tree too.
The Holland Sentinel has a great story on this years' air quality "Friday is 25th Clean Air Action Day this summer"

Track Name: Ignite
the morning came with a pouring rain
I could feign my way through this sunless day
when its done this way, I'd rather run away
so i turn it, face it, back to the basics
fear - erase it, start this engagement
brace for the impact, integrity intact
in fact, I've had my back to the wall
in the corner with a paint brush, we make much
out of minimal amounts, my cerebral accounts for
taking ounces, turn it into poundage
around this town, its easy to get down
still i rebound, rise Above/Below
like a dove we rose as the love free flows
just as one re-sows as the earth gives life
as the sun gives light, with these words recite
are you ready for the fight? strike a match, ignite
I got these matches in my matchbook
let me spark one, strike one, light one, ignite one
just trying to hold my chin when the fog rolls in
after all i been through, i seen lightning
flash, wait for the thunder clap, see the sky collapse
wonder how to deal when the hunger clash
with my sense and sensibility, convinced or instability
balance my talents with a bent for incivility
its killing me, put out there for the world to see
against the universe,the human curse
sometimes surmise sunrise ain't coming
like i cant keep running, sky keep rumbling
humbling experiences break down our defenses
an instance to remind us take it back to the beginning
full circle, front and center, bare bones, nothing simpler
try to temper my tone, illuminate dim light
grow from this grim night, focus vision, insight
never act in spite, strike a match, ignite
I got these matches in my matchbook
let me spark one, strike one, light one, ignite one
Track Name: j street
i got 2 feet, 10 toes
been thrown curve balls, still we worked yall
the first call, from the minor to the majors
sport designer labels in last years flavors
white after labor day, savor the way
when the saber leads the way i counter with a pen, then
send prose down in the mix, stick and stones down in the trench
find words, put it in the binder, send a reminder
set your alarm clock warning, in the morning if its storming
we can form like voltron, its full on from the get
sit back, relax just groove, vibe just ooze
like 5 to 1 is shift number two
thats some ish i'll never do, see my hustles too strong
mind power equals brains is my muscle equals brawn
mushin' on doggies, got your ducks in a row?
we added water and some light now we're watching it grow
we go from bank street to the end of the block
down to state street, now we're watching it knock
take a walk along the avenue, its not your average crew
watch the props accrue, thats what we had to do
its been 5 week and 2 days
check the account verify dues paid
the blues stayed, stripped off the shine
left it with soul, the sound more refined
destined to find, primed for bad weather
aligned with the seasons, the reason: unmentioned
this ascensions got me inching closer and closer
the poster child for the return from the over exposure
over and over, a bull dozier in a game of red rover
how we bring it: never gimicked, staying true to the tenents
the mere mention of this serious discussion point
never fear or furious, in a flurry we bust
or crust over like a sugary sweet, took near defeat
with our head held high, dead in the eye
returned strong, pondered the game plan, the same can
come back and resurrect so remember the name man
bank street to the end of the block
down to state street, now we're watching it knock
take a walk along the avenue, not your average crew
watch the props accrue, thats what we had to do

...Vinegar cleans mildew stains?
My patio furniture is looking much better now that I've learned this. I used vinegar on our outdoor cushions that sit through humid summer days here and had many dark stains left over from last year despite my having scrubbed them, soaked them and laundered them all twice. I poured the vinegar straight on the stain and let it sit. The stains broke up and faded right before my eyes. The cushions don't look brand new, but they are much, much improved. These cushions will certainly serve us another year. Alex got a whiff of this and asked, "Why do I smell chips?" I'll most likely need to launder that smell out now.
We're getting the porch ready for eating outdoors again and reading nights on those newly brightened cushions. I love spring.

The Text2Pay platform enables end users to pay for goods online, safely and easily with a simple text message transaction on their mobile phones and provides content merchants and developers a simple, effective way of monetizing their online offering or adding depth to their current payment options. Text2Pay offers secure mobile payments using two-factor authentication to reduce fraud and offers dynamic pricing.
To see how Text2Pay works, watch the demonstration here
In a rapidly maturing mobile payments market, Adam Weinstein, SVP, Global Business Development sees an increasing demand from merchants and developers for more customizable and ultimately a more price competitive mobile billing platform.
"Many of the other global players in the mobile payments space are too aggressive with their transaction fees and simply too rigid in their approach to end user experience, saying 'it's our way or the highway' and slapping their brand all over the billing process," he says.
"Text2Pay acknowledges that many merchants and developers would prefer to integrate a more customizable (white-label), non-branded mobile billing solution into their offering to maximize their conversions but also know they are getting one of the best transaction rates currently available on the market," Mr. Weinstein says.
About Text2Pay
Text2Pay is a leader in online payments using the mobile phone. Text2Pay makes it easier for consumers to pay for virtual goods and services by using their mobile phone.

As for emotional distress of being forced into a drug test and/or being patted down, the question is what is your damage? Have you gone to a psychiatrist or psychologist?

It's best that you immediately contact an employment attorney that has experience in discrimination and retaliation. It's difficult to give an assessment based on the facts you have presented. One would need to know more detail such as how the slip and fall occurred, whether you presented doctors notes excusing you from work due to injury related pain, etc. It's important that you contact an attorney now to determine what types of evidence you may be able to obtain, what causes of action you should pursue, etc.
When you are injured at work you should contact an attorney that specializes in workers compensation. However, since you've now been terminated as a result of your injuries, your claims might be resolved better by an attorney practicing employment/disability discrimination and retaliation.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/11/2012 (1694 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Eighty new cases of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) were reported in Manitoba last year, bringing the estimated provincewide total to 2,100.
According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, approximately 25 per cent of people with the virus are unaware of their HIV status, and therefore go undetected and unreported.
"We try to impress upon people the importance of testing," said Dr. Sandra Allison, medical officer of health with Prairie Mountain Health. "The phrase that's being thrown around is 'know your status.'"
Manitoba is one of the top three provinces with the highest per capita rate of HIV cases, along with Saskatchewan and Yukon. In 2011, there were two new AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) cases in Manitoba, and three AIDS deaths.
To promote HIV/AIDS awareness, Prairie Mountain Health hosted a World Aids Day event at Brandon University on Friday, along with the Sexuality Education Resource Centre.
Today marks the 25th annual World AIDS Day, a day to remember those who have been lost to the disease, and to support all Canadians living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
An estimated 65,000 Canadians are living with HIV, which is the virus that causes AIDS.
The virus attacks the body's immune system, leaving it unable to fight certain infections. The only way to get HIV, is by having the virus enter the bloodstream. It can be transmitted through blood, vaginal fluids, semen and breast milk.
You can get HIV by having unprotected sex, sharing needles, razors or toothbrushes that have blood on them. HIV cannot be passed through casual contact such as hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing food or toilet seats.
As there is no cure, the best barrier to protect against HIV is using a latex condom.
Allison said to get tested for all sexually transmitted diseases, people need both a urine test and a blood test.
"If I only test your urine, it's only half the job," she said.
Blood tests are required to diagnose HIV, syphilis and hepatitis.
If caught early, HIV doesn't have to be a death sentence.
"The treatments have evolved so rapidly and they're so effective now, that people that are living with HIV can expect to live almost a full life expectancy," Allison said. "They can live fruitful, productive lives. But without the diagnosis, the infection itself can be quite harmful, in fact fatal."
That's why it's so important people get tested, Allison said, so people understand their status, seek treatment and protect friends and family against any exposure.

Marc Morano: Global Warming Spin Doctor flogged as "Perfect Counter Guest Debater"
Kevin Grandia | April 6, 2009
By Kevin Grandia • Monday, April 6, 2009 - 11:17
Marc Morano, former Republican spindoctor turned think tanker, is now touting himself as the "counter guest debater to Al Gore and Global Warming Climate change disinformation."
Morano and his new employer the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) are flooding the inboxes of journalists and reporters today selling Marc Morano as a "global warming expert." Claiming Morano as an "expert" in climate change is completely laughable and I think mainstream media will agree.
The only thing Marc Morano is "expert" in is spinning stories for this former Republican boss Senator James Inhofe (R-OK).
Here's a copy of the email sent around today to news media outlets:
Here's your counter guest debater to Al Gore and Global Warming Climate change disinformation plus
Here's your counter guest debater to Al Gore and Global Warming Climate change disinformation plus how Obama's Policies are affecting our economy.
For your on-air expert contributor talent files: Credentialed "Counter Guest" to popular global warming ideology: Here's your anti-Gore Global Warming Expert who offers the science to counteract partisan and ideologically driven Environmental entities and issues.
If you believe most, or all, of the global warming dogma, you may use Marc as your "counter guest" to offer a lively, fair and balanced discussion to your audience. If you are a skeptic of the current doctrine, Marc can aid your program by clearing up the deception with the facts.
Marc Morano infuses the environmental debate with a balanced and truthful scientific perspective. Marc's agenda is to revolutionize Climate and Environmental news dissemination to portray the accurate truth.
Marc says: "Much of what the media reports is simply a regurgitation of the rhetoric from partisan and ideologically driven environmental groups, foundations and the United Nations, which are spinning data to promote a cause. Sadly, many of today's mainstream climate reporters would be better suited writing newsletters for Al Gore than attempting to inform the public about the latest climate science developments"

Towers Brainiak

Towers Brainiak is a fascinating Sudoku-like logic game. Fill in the grid with towers whose heights range from 1 to the grid size, so that every possible height appears exactly once in each row and column, and so that each clue around the edge counts the number of towers that are visible when looking into the grid from that direction. (Taller towers hide shorter ones behind them. So the sequence 2,1,4,3,5 would match a clue of 3 on the left, because the 1 is hidden behind the 2 and the 3 is hidden behind the 4. On the right, it would match a clue of 1 because the 5 hides everything else.)

I had thought that it could simply store the address in a callee saved register inside palloc, totally forgetting that palloc would need to save that register itself in that case. > (We know this doesn't > matter, but gcc doesn't; this version of gcc apparently isn't doing much > with the knowledge that elog won't return.) Afaics one reason for that is that we don't have any such annotation for elog(), just for ereport. And I don't immediately see how it could be added to elog without relying on variadic macros. Bit of a shame, there probably a good number of callsites that could actually benefit from that knowledge. Is it worth making that annotation conditional on variadic macro support?

LAKE ELSINORE ---- Three people were hurt, including a child, when a boat flipped on Lake Elsinore on Sunday, authorities said.
The accident was reported about 1:45 p.m., and when firefighters arrived at the lake's shore on the Lakeland Village side, the child was out of the water but in full cardiac arrest, Riverside County fire officials said. Firefighters revived the child, who was taken to the hospital in critical condition, officials said. Further details about the child's age and gender were not available.
The child's father and uncle were rescued by a Riverside County sheriff's boat unit, officials said.
One of the men was taken to the hospital with moderate injuries, and the other suffered minor injuries but declined to go to the hospital, fire officials said.
Information about the accident's cause was not released.

It's been the summer of trade rumours for Roberto Luongo, the first since he arrived in Vancouver six years ago. After the signing of Cory Schneider, the writing is on the wall and he knows it. Recently he confirmed what everyone knew all along:
At the end of the day, it's time to move on and I'm okay with that
And there it is. If there was any doubt left in anyone's mind, Luongo will be traded. But where? Well, as everyone knows, Luongo would welcome a trade to the Florida Panthers.
Why Florida?
The Panthers are a place Luongo would like to go first and foremost because his wife is from there. He used to play for the Panthers and likely has friends still in Miami and is comfortable there. Also, the Panthers appear to be a bit of a team on the rise. They made the playoffs for the first time in a long time last year, and have a handful of good young players that should improve. As far as Florida is concerned, Luongo is definitely an upgrade on their current goaltending tandem of Jose Theodore and Scott Clemmensen. With Luongo in net, they likely assure themselves another year in the playoffs, with a better chance at making some noise. Luongo is also a big name in Florida from his previous tour of duty with them (where he was easily their best player).
Why Not?
The Panthers are rebuilding. Yes, they made the playoffs last year, but they did so with a lot of veterans on their team. One of the biggest parts of their rebuild includes Jakob Markstrom. Markstrom is a 22 year old former 2nd round draft pick and has been brought along slowly by the Panthers. He has already excelled in the AHL and has even got some pretty impressive numbers in his limited action (8 games) in the NHL. Acquiring Luongo and his monster long contract probably doesn't make sense if Markstrom steps into the spotlight this year or next as is expected.
Rumour Time
I don't think the Panthers will want Luongo. But if they do, expect guys like Tomas Fleischmann and Sean Bergenheim to be involved. Sure, the Canucks would love to get their hands on the likes of Weiss, Kulikov or Gudbranson, but the Panthers don't need Luongo, so they're not desperate. They want to keep all the young/cheap/good players they can.

Chevrolet says it will price the 2013 Malibu Eco with General Motors' eAssist hybrid system at $25,995, including destination, when it hits showrooms early next year.
In an unusual move, the Eco model will be the only version available at launch. It will be equipped similarly to the mid-level models that Chevy usually calls LT.
A purely gasoline power model of the new Malibu won't hit the market until the second half of the year. Until then, Chevy will continue selling the 2012 gas-engine models. Chevy won't say yet what the prices will be on the gas-only 2013 models, but some will be priced lower than the Malibu Eco eAssist.
The time lag between the eAssist model and the gasoline versions is because the new, 2.5-liter gasoline engine wasn't ready in time for the early 2012 launch. It was pulled ahead, per General Motors CEO Dan Akerson's "do it yesterday" theme.
The 2.5-liter gas engine will be rated about 190 horsepower. GM hasn't forecast its mpg rating.
The gasoline engine in the Eco is the 2.4-liter GM Ecotech, also used in other GM models, such as the Buick Verano. In the Malibu Eco, it will be rated 182 hp, 172 pounds-feet of torque.
The Eco's eAssist, also used on the Buick Lacrosse, is "light electrification," Chevy says. It uses the car's big electric motor/generator to momentarily move the vehicle away from a dead stop, or help on hills or when passing. The electric assist is combined with idle shutoff at long stops, and fuel cutoff on deceleration to help the Malibu Eco hit a forecast rating of 26 miles per gallon in town, 38 on the highway. That will give it a combined city/highway rating -- probably the closest to real-life results for most people most of the time -- of about 31 mpg.
That's good for a midsize family car. But analysts at research and shopping site Edmunds.com note that the combined city/highway rating falls below that of other alternative-propulsion models in the same price range, so Chevy should be careful about advertising the Malibu Eco as a true rival to those.
Edmunds.com cites these:
Some details about the 2013 Malibu:
It'll be bigger than the current Malibu. Wheelbase is unchanged, length is about the same, but the new car's 2.7 inches wider, Chevy says, resulting in nearly 4 cubic feet more passenger space.
The eAssist system's battery pack swipes 2 cubic feet from the trunk, reducing it to 14.3 cu. ft.
The car will feature what Chevy calls MyLink, allowing applications stored on the driver's iPhone or other "smart" device to be used in the car. Not all will be allowed; those judged a distraction to the driver will be blocked. "MyLink turns your car into a mobile device," Chevy says. (Buick offers the same system, but calls it IntelliLink. Rival Toyota has a similar system called Entune.)

About MeI am looking to participate in some local modelling shoots.
I don't have very much experience but as I am mostly behind the lens, I thought that I would try out modelling as I don't have many photos of myself.
Looking to collaborate with local artists on small projects.
TFP and any expenses covered would be helpful. Quite open to ideas, keen on exploring themes and story.
I will NOT do nude/underwear or nudity implied shots so please do not ask.
Would like to work with MUA's and photographers on small shoots around the Southend area although I am happy to travel to London or further (possibly if expenses need to be covered.)
Hoping to learn, meet other creatives and build up a nice personal portfolio as a hobby.
I am hoping it will increase my confidence and help me to direct models with my own career in the future.
You can see my photography work here if you are interested :)
