It took three overtimes, but Wando earned its revenge.
A week ago on Daniel Island, Bishop England dealt Wando its first loss of the season. Wednesday in Mount Pleasant, the Lady Warriors returned the favor.
Wando topped Bishop England, 18-17, in sudden-death overtime to hand the Bishops their first loss of the season.
A minute into the third overtime, Wando attack Casey Costello scooped the ball 20 yards from the goal, worked her way down in front of the crease and netted the sudden-death game-winner. The goal was Costellos sixth of the game, second in overtime.
In the final 11 seconds of the second overtime, Wando (8-1) was awarded possession off penalties three times in the Bishops attack area. On the third, Costello scored to tie the match and force the third overtime.
Bishop England (6-1) trailed by as many as four goals twice in the second half. In the final eight minutes of regulation, Dorothy Navarro, Ellie Burton and Isabel Burnett scored three straight for the Bishops to force overtime.
Taylor Kennington led Bishop England with six goals. The Bishops trailed, 10-6, two minutes into the second half before Kennington scored twice in less than 20 seconds, both off assists from Elena Bosco. Bishop England outscored Wando 9-6 in the second half.
Bishop England returns home to face Spring Valley Friday, while Wando will host Chapin Saturday.

Legislative Priorities
We make a difference. Cosponsors on mental health bills increased as a result of our advocacy. See the impact that Mental Health America advocates had in 2013.
2013/2014 Legislative Priority Fact Sheets
- Federal Appropriations for Mental Health Services and Supports
- Mental Health Awareness and Improvement Act of 2013 (S. 689)
- Mental Health in Schools Act (S. 195/H.R. 628)
- Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Act of 2013 (S. 162/H.R. 401)
- Youth PROMISE Act (H.R. 1318)
- Excellence in Mental Health Act (S. 264/H.R. 1263)
- Keeping All Students Safe Act (H.R. 1893)
- Children's Recovery from Trauma Act (S. 380)
- Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act Reauthorization of 2013 (S. 116)
- Mental Health First Aid Act (S. 153/H.R. 274)
- Health IT Act of 2013 (S. 1517,S. 1685/H.R. 2957)
Affordable Care Act (ACA) Implementation and Medicaid Expansion
Now that most of the health care reform, the law of the land, has been upheld by the Supreme Court and validated by the 2012 national election, we are working on a number of levels:
- Joining with advocates around the country to conduct enrollment outreach; Influencing implementation activities by the federal administration and state governments;
- Pushing for federal regulations that broadly define the mental health and substance use disorder benefit to include a comprehensive array of services (usually referred to as the "Essential Health Benefits (EHB)");
- Ensuring effective implementation of a ground-breaking Medicaid expansion in that every state implements some form of Medicaid expansion;
- Ensuring that state Health Insurance Exchanges (HIE) issue benchmark plans that are at parity.
Parity Implementation
With the federal mental health parity law now fully effective (enacted in 2008), we are working to increase awareness of its requirements (interim rule promulgated in 2010), responding to requests on the impact on state laws, pushing for regulations and a final rule that reflect Congressional intent, and monitoring compliance by health plans. We await the final rule due sometime in 2013.
Incorporating mental health and substance use disorders into federal prevention initiatives is an important priority. We also will be promoting and supporting legislation to encourage prevention and promotion activities in schools, including the Mental Health in Schools Act and the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act, which supports suicide prevention programs. We have strongly supported legislation that would protect students from inappropriate seclusion and physical restraint by requiring states to set minimum standards on their use. Although a bill passed the House last Congress, the Senate failed to act.
In addition, we will be working on a project aimed at encouraging states to improve access to preventive and preemptive services for all age groups through their Medicaid programs. We are advocating for increased implementation and funding for "Upstream Services" - which are behavioral health prevention and early intervention services.
We are currently trying to meet the mental health needs of the military community. More than half a million Iraq and Afghanistan war vets have not sought care from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), even though 20 percent of vets have PTSD or depression, and another 20 percent report traumatic brain injury (TBI) during deployment. We support efforts to deliver community- based services that include trained and certified peers, service navigation, and community outreach. We support an integrated, holistic model of health, recognizing mental health needs cannot be separated from other critical needs, such as housing and employment, and resource coordination, to avoid duplication and ineffective services.
Mental Health Funding and Appropriations
Funding for mental health programs and services at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (and other federal agencies) are at risk as Congress and the administration look to cut domestic spending. We will continue our advocacy in support of essential funding for these programs-and the implementation of health reform-in the appropriations process and other fiscal negotiations. In addition, we will work to support funding for behavioral health research at the National Institutes of Health.
Health Information Technology
We will push for legislation to extend financial incentives for adopting health information technology including electronic health records to mental health and addiction treatment providers and facilities.
Medicare Part D
We are working to maintain strong coverage of mental health medications and oppose state efforts to limit access to treatments.
MHA is pushing for wide implementation of the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, while 11 percent of youth have been diagnosed with a mental illness, two-thirds of youth who have a condition are not identified and do not receive mental health services. Prevention and early identification of health conditions, which is a key component of EPSDT, promotes positive health outcomes and can reduce health care costs across an individual's lifespan. Under the EPSDT benefit, eligible individuals must be provided periodic screening (well child exams) as defined by statute. One required element of this screening is a comprehensive health and developmental history including assessment of physical and mental health development.
State Mental Health Budgets
States have cut mental health budgets by nearly $5 billion over the last 3 years -the largest reduction to mental health spending since the de-institutionalization of state hospitals in the 1970s. Individuals receiving treatment through state funded resources are increasingly vulnerable as states cut other important community supports such as education, criminal justice, and housing. We are organizing our affiliates to prevent further cuts to states' mental health budgets, and advocate for increased funding.
Regional Policy Council (RPC)
- Mental Health America's (MHA) Regional Policy Council (RPC) is comprised of nine of MHA's most knowledgeable affiliate public policy or executive directors, representing the 10 Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regions, working in conjunction with MHA policy staff to create a strong and proactive advocacy network.
- Primary to the work of the RPC are issues related to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, such as essential benefits, Medicaid expansion, enrollment, and full parity that meets the needs of people with mental health and substance use conditions.
MHA Legislative Priorities
With the increased awareness of mental health issues in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook tragedy and the never-ending fiscal negotiations that threaten to cut discretionary funding to SAMHSA, NIH and other key agency programs such as housing and education, MHA continues to advocate for increased funding for important mental health programs, including preserving Medicaid, and our legislative priorities for the 113th Congress:
- Budget/Appropriations (S.Con.Res. 8/H.Con.Res. 25) - the Senate and House have adopted budgets that will set funding levels for discretionary and mandatory programs. These Budget proposals will shape the Appropriations bills that will ultimately fund critical mental health services and supports;
- Mental Health in Schools Act (S. 195/H.R.628) - Authorize grants to school districts to help them implement effective mental health programs;
- Children's Recovery from Trauma Act (S. 380) - To reauthorize and update the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative for grants to address the problems of individuals who experience trauma and violence related stress;
- Excellence in Mental Health Act (S. 264) - Establish standards, oversight, and improved reimbursement for Federally Qualified Community Behavioral Health Centers;
- Mental Health First Aid Act (S. 153/H.R. 274) - Provide grants to universities to train staff in Mental Health First Aid;
- Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act Reauthorization of 2013 (S. 116) - To renew the commitment to critically important youth and college suicide prevention programs, which provide a comprehensive approach to addressing the national problem of youth suicide;
- Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Act of 2013 (MIOTCRA; S. 162/H.R. 401) - Reauthorize and update a 2004 law (PL 108-414) that set up a grant program to support mental-health courts and other collaborative programs between the criminal justice and mental-health systems;
- Mental Health Awareness and Improvement Act of 2013 (S. 689) - To reauthorize and improve programs administered by both the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services related to awareness, prevention, and early identification of mental health conditions, and the promotion of linkages to appropriate services for children and youth;
- Youth PROMISE Act (H.R. 1318) - Amend the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 to provide communities support and funding to effectively address youth violence issues and thus preventing mental health conditions from leading to bad outcomes;
- Behavioral Health IT Act (not yet introduced) - Extend federal incentive payments for health information technology to behavioral health facilities and providers that are currently ineligible for this funding; and
- Keeping All Students Safe Act (not yet introduced) - To prevent and reduce physical restraints and seclusion in schools to ensure the safety of all students and staff.

Louisville ready to get underway in Indianapolis. Ryan Feierabend pitching for the Bats.
Happy Fourth of July!
Louisville ready to get underway in Indianapolis. Ryan Feierabend pitching for the Bats.
Happy Fourth of July!
A watched plot never thickens.
Pensacola setting off some fireworks today at home as the lead Birmingham 6-1 in the middle of the third. Daniel Corcino pitching for the 'Hoos. 3IP 2H 1ER 0BB 3K. Brodie Greene has homered and Andrew Means has tripled. Bryson Smith and David Vidal with hits. Birmingham giving away plenty of free passes.
Matt Wickswat is pitching for Birmingham. Fireworks must be scaring him a little. Six walks so far today, here with one out in the bottom of the third.
The numbers for him on the year are ugly. Coming into today: 36IP 56H 41BB 21K.

A watched plot never thickens.
Carlos Gonzalez will pitch for the Dragons. Dayton gets underway in about an hour.
The Blaze will hand the ball to Pat Doyle later in the evening. He is looking for his 8th win on the season. This will be just his 4th start on the year.
Robert Stephenson will also be making just his fourth start on the year tonight as he goes up against the Helena Handbaskets. Stephenson showing well so far in his first three starts. 14IP 10H 4ER 2BB 19K. First pitch in just less than an hour.

A watched plot never thickens.
The Bats went down in the first with only a Phipps walk. In the bottom of the inning. 2B, HR, 3B. Indpls batting with no one out in the first, a 2 run lead and a runner on third.
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
Louisville finally collects their first hit on the afternoon as Negron triples to lead off the sixth. A sac fly by Cody Puckett delivers the runner home. Bats trail 4-1.
A watched plot never thickens.
Pensacola jumped out early and still leads by a score of 7-2 after seven full. Corcino with a solid six innings, allowing only four hits and two walks while striking out five. He also picked off a runner. Johnny C. would be proud. Pearl and Manno have followed him to the mound.
Offensively, Brodie Greene has a 3-run bomb, walked twice, hit a sac fly and driven home four of the Blue Wahoo's runs. LaMarre a hit and two walks. Smith and Vidal each with a pair of hits.
A watched plot never thickens.
Dayton hangs an 8-spot in the first as they bat around and then some. Carlos Gonzalez is the beneficiary. Reading the play-by-play just noticed that Junior Arias reached on an error and then was replaced. No details.
Junior Arias reaches on fielding error by third baseman Ryan Court.
Offensive Substitution: Pinch runner Joe Terry replaces Junior Arias.
With Juan Perez batting, wild pitch by John Pedrotty, Joe Terry to 2nd.
Juan Perez reaches on a fielder's choice, fielded by pitcher John Pedrotty.
Yorman Rodriguez doubles (5) on a line drive to left fielder Tom Belza. Joe Terry scores. Juan Perez scores.
Sean Buckley singles on a line drive to center fielder Chris Ellison. Yorman Rodriguez to 3rd.
Ryan Wright singles on a ground ball to shortstop Niko Gallego. Yorman Rodriguez scores. Sean Buckley to 2nd.

Juan Perez singles on a line drive to right fielder Marc Bourgeois. Joe Terry to 2nd.
Pitcher Change: Keith Hessler replaces John Pedrotty.
Yorman Rodriguez grounds into a force out, shortstop Niko Gallego to second baseman Eric Groff. Joe Terry to 3rd. Juan Perez out at 2nd. Yorman Rodriguez to 1st.
Sean Buckley flies out to right fielder Marc Bourgeois.
A watched plot never thickens.
Robert Stephenson pitched just three innings. He was a little wild so I imagine he reached his pitch-count limit. 3IP 1H 0ER 4BB 3K. ERA now stands at 2.12. He was relieved by Jesus Adame who has surrendered two unearned runs in two innings. Score is 2-2 after five. Robert Maddox has been the entire offensive show so far. Two solo homers accounting for both Mustangs' runs. Jesse Winker has the night off.
A watched plot never thickens.
Justin Freeman closed for Pensacola today. I didn't realize how good he has been recently. Last 10 games 1.46 ERA 12 inn, 4 hits, 18/2 K/BB ratio
And isn't about time to put Ryan Feierabend out to pasture?
Last edited by JaxRed; 07-04-2012 at 08:29 PM.
Yorman is 3-4. Yovan Gonzalez is 3-3. Dayton has 16 hits in four innings and leads 14-1.
That's where the Pythag deceives.
At the expense of Jordan Remer, the Handbaskets went ahead of Billings 5-4 in the top of the seventh. The Mustangs need Robert Maddox to get up there again.
. . . I swear I wrote that before checking back to see that Maddox has just hit his third HR of the game to put Billings back ahead 7-5.

This room might be known by different names, but it's the room where we spend much of our time relaxing, entertaining, and gathering together to laugh and play. Family room window treatments should reflect the casual and light-hearted purpose of this room. Here are some ideas to get you started in choosing the right family room window treatments.
If you have many windows or large windows, you'll definitely want a window treatment that can block damaging ultraviolet rays and that can reduce the heat gain from direct sunlight. Cellular shades are an excellent choice for both, and are available in varying opacities depending on your light control needs. There are a variety of other family room window treatments that can also provide the light control you need in the look you want.
If you have children or pets in the home, look for cordless family room window treatments to keep this family gathering space safe from the dangers of dangling cords. For windows that are very tall or difficult to reach, you may consider a motorized window treatment that can be remote controlled.
For rooms with a sliding door, there are great alternatives to the traditional vertical blind - for example, try a modern panel track blind. Many of the available fabrics are also available in other window treatments, such as woven wood shades, to give you a matching look for all your windows.

The "In God we trust" always reminded me as if it was some sort of reference to Goddess Fortuna who was often displayed on Roman coins. It became a bit of a personal quip to me that Americans seem to have made their money their most revered god and fortune. For that reason alone I would remove the god reference off the dollar.
Also because it is in reference to that one singular deity I find that the phrase can be offensive to anyone of different or no faith. One God, One Country, One people is a near fascist credo in a multicultural country like the USA. Somehow I doubt however that many Americans will agree with me on this point however. None the less I do think most Christians at least tacitly subscribe to that notion.
Giving a privilege has always been easier then to take one away. I think the Christians have been over privileged for far too long as is. Taking their privilege away however will cause plenty of resistance, tantrums and crying about it.
For all intends and purposes the money should be neutral because of the nature in which it is used.
As long it stays legal tender, I'm good. 'As far as I am concerned', they could make special $1.00 issue paper for the season of the year, or birthdays of scientists.
I expect in time, if 'smart paper' become available, there could be free encoded movie/trailers on each one, making them a collector's item. The government could then be 'paid' to print the $1.00 bill as an anvertising platform. Imagine the weirdness that could result, 'Debbie Does Dallas #12", just above 'In God We Trust'. Woow TMI...
Growing up in England, I'm very used to seeing the sign, in small shops, that says:-
In God We Trust
All Others Pay Cash
So having these words on money makes it a tad silly. Honestly, cash is used less and less, these days, and somehow I can't see the credit card companies putting it on their plastic. As cash becomes less and less tendered, I'm guessing the need for anything on a dollar bill will fade. The dollar bills will probably become obsolete without the need for any major re-design. I can't say I really care what the governments write on their currency, it's not like I have to read it. I realise that there is a principle involved, but I have better battles for better principles to distract me.
I think there is plenty of valid religious basis for removing it, and if that aspect of it was pursued maybe it would happen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtjwdGeQ7kY
Teddy Roosevelt thought it was a sacrilege. I agree, of course, but for exactly the opposite reason.

Hi ,I will be praying for you, that God will take any desire to drink away and fill that spot with how much you are worth to him!
Have I never been forgiven in the first place have I been fooling myself these many years?
When I drink my mind is two spirited, fighting, warring one side trying to beat this habit, calling on Him for deliverence,While the other side says you will not be delivered this is the hell you have found yourself in.
I believe in Jesus Christ crucified. I have not been in denominational/orthodox religion for sometime now, in fact its been over 30 years. I have studied the Book, I do not believe in most of the doctrines taught. I believe in forgiveness, what I do not understand is: I am an alcoholic and over the past 30 some years I believe the Lord has taken that desire away, for I am not the drunk I was, but I fall back to drinking sometimes. It would seem I am allowed to stop the drinking for years sometimes, and I am a good worker for Him, I believe in Him, His Faith. When I drink my mind is two spirited, fighting, warring one side trying to beat this habit, calling on Him for deliverence,While the other side says you will not be delivered this is the hell you have found yourself in. I read and reread Romans 7 to find relief, I know the entire answer is not there. I pray for my family, my friends. I am blessed. I pray when I drink or when I am not, I pray and thank The Lord for deliverence when I am not drinking, I pray and thank The Lord for keeping me praying when I am drinking for the deliverence and the blessing He has bestowed on my family and friends. I continue to study all the time. Am I lost in this realm of two spirits? Have I never been forgiven in the first place have I been fooling myself these many years? The Lord shows me things when I am not drinking and does not take those things away when I may drink again. Good things.
Gee, if only God were stronger than our emotional scars . . .
Magical? Affirmative. Magic? Nah . . .we call it the Father's love.
It doesn't matter if you stop, the reason to drink keeps pulling you back...and it's not the alchohol calling you back it's the emotions attached to the reason how come you started.
if God can deliver me from being an alcoholic, who's to say he can't heal the emotional scars that drove me to drinking in the first place?
None of us know the exact reason why Micah 7:9 started drinking in the first place . . . it could have started at college during a spring break for all we know.
That's like saying that God will forgive you for all your sin, but now you have to go back and identify each experience in your life that led to that particular sin before you're finally and really free.
No wonder he titled this thread "troubled" The moment there's a hint of freedom, somebody has to be right there to rope him back in again
Hey Nathan!Mark 4: 15 15 Now these are those beside the road, where the word is being sown. And whenever they should be hearing, straightway comes Satan and is taking away the word that has been sown in them.Luke 8:1212 Now those beside the road are those who hear; thereafter the Adversary is coming and is picking up the word from their heart, lest, believing, they may be saved.

NEW YORK (AP) - The New York City homeless man - whose gift of boots from an NYPD police officer became an online sensation - is back on the streets with no shoes.
The New York Times found him Sunday night wandering barefoot in Manhattan. The paper identified him as Jeffrey Hillman, formerly of South Plainfield, N.J.
Asked about the $100 all-weather boots Officer Larry DePrimo gave him on Nov. 14, Hillman says he's hidden them because "they are worth a lot of money."
He says he's grateful for the gift, but he wants "a piece of the pie" because the photo was posted online "without permission."
An Arizona tourist snapped the photo of the officer presenting new boots to Hillman. It went viral after it was posted on the NYPD's Facebook page.

Of the 7 or 8 150 S-PDs I have all are quite stable except one, and it weighs 147, is rather bendy and has the Freak stamp. The two pale yellow First Runs are more stable than the stiff, champy-star, chartreuse regular stamp ones, which are bombers. I think they are the best 150 class drivers I've thrown.
I also think that PD 150 is the sweetest disc in that weight range.

what to buy
If you're in the market for a new toilet, experts say that flush performance and water consumption -- the amount of water used during a flush -- are the most important considerations, aside from aesthetics. For homeowners replacing a toilet from the 1980s or earlier, any modern toilet will result in a huge water savings; those manufactured before 1994 used more than 3 gallons of water per flush.
Most new toilets use 1.6 gallons of water per flush (gpf). Even more water-efficient models use 1.28 gpf or less. Dual-flush toilets have one button for an effective 1.6-gallon flush for solids and a second button that typically uses 1 gallon to flush liquids. On the downside, some water-efficient toilets have been shown to have weaker flushing power, which can be an issue for homeowners with sensitive plumbing.
Whether a toilet can do its job in a single flush is an important factor. Maximum Performance (MaP), an independent testing organization, assesses hundreds of toilets using a paste made of soybean and rice to simulate human waste. Each toilet must pass at least four out of five separate flush tests using the soybean paste and wads of toilet paper. The minimum standard is 250 grams of solid waste, which is average for an adult, and toilets are tested up to 1,000 grams. Manufacturers voluntarily submit products for testing and pay a fee, and MaP scores have become a gold standard for evaluating flush performance.
There are several types of toilets on the market. Gravity toilets, which have been around the longest, open a simple valve in the bottom of the tank during a flush that drops water into the bowl. Pressure-assist models hold the water in the tank under air pressure, which dispels the water with greater force and noise during a flush. Vacuum- and power-assist toilets feature quieter flushes, but vacuum-assist models tend to be less powerful. Power-assist toilets, which require an electrical outlet, can be much more expensive. Gravity and pressure-assist models make up the majority of toilets on the market today, and we found the most recommendations for those using gravity-assist technology.
In terms of price, standard toilets without added features for enhanced flushing power or bowl-cleaning action can cost between $100 and $250. Water-efficient toilets and those earning WaterSense certification from the Environmental Protection Agency are more expensive, generally between $200 and $500. The type of flush mechanism isn't a factor, but dual-flush toilets cost more than their single-flush counterparts, generally reaching the higher end of the water-efficient toilet price range.

Critique this 5 x 5 program
I'm just finishing up a bulking program. I'm going to take 3 full days off to rest, and then start 5 x 5 training. I want to increase strength on my compound lifts, i.e. bench press, squat, dead lift, overhead press, but build muscle in addition to this. In other words, I want to mainly focus on pure strength building, but still gain some lean mass and work on muscle separation. I was thinking something like this:
Monday - Chest, Triceps
Tuesday - Back, Biceps
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - Shoulders, Abs
Friday - Legs
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - Start cycle over with chest and triceps
Chest/triceps workout:
Bench press: 5 x 5
Incline DB press (decline DB press): 3 sets
Decline machine press (incline machine press): 3 sets
Incline fly superset with flat fly (vice versa): 1 set
Seated triceps DB press: 5 x 5
Weighted parallel bar dips: 4 sets
Back/biceps workout:
Deadlift: 5 x 5
Wide grip pulldowns (normal grip pulldowns): 3 sets
Neutral grip machine row (reverse grip machine row): 3 sets
Preacher curl: 3 sets
DB concentration curl: 1 double drop set
Incline bench hammer curl: 3 sets
Cable 21's: 1 set
Shoulders/abs workout:
Overhead BB press: 5 x 5
Standing DB lateral raises: 2 double drop sets
DB upright rows (cable upright rows): 4 sets
Reverse flys: 3 sets
DB shrugs (smith machine shrugs): 3 sets
Abs cycle: leg raises, static holds, crunches, side planks
Cable crunches: 1 double drop set
Back extension machine: 2 single drop sets
Legs workout:
Squat: 5 x 5
Straight-legged deadlift: 4 sets
Lying machine leg curl: 2 single drop sets
Seated calf raises (standing calf raises): 2 double drop sets
Seated reverse calf raises: 1 double drop set
Weighted cable step apparatus: 1 double drop set
This is just a basic summary of exercises. I will switch up some of the exercises after 4 cycles with those in parentheses. Also, I will heavily incorporate rest-pause and strip set training on my last sets per exercise.

Ever hear of the 80/20 rule?
You get 80% of the results form 20% of what you are donig. I.E. the time you spent doing the 5x5 is the 20% and will give you the majority of your results.
Regarding the other stuff (the 80%), remember, that is only getting you 20% of your results (give or take), I would limit the assistance exercises to 2 (maybe 3) exercises that you really like and you know work well for your body. Then with less exercises, you do more sets for those 2 exercises rather than doing 6 or 7 assistance exercises. Also, to reinforce technique, you could also add in some light/explosive work for a previously worked 5x5, so for example, on back/bicep day, you could do:
Back/biceps workout:
Deadlift: 5 x 5
Wide grip pulldowns (normal grip pulldowns): 6 sets - an increase in sets
Neutral grip machine row (reverse grip machine row): 6 sets - an increase in sets
Bench Press: 5 x 3 reps at 75% of the weight you used on Monday (so if you did 200 for 5 sets of 5, than on Tuesday you would do 5 sets of 3 at 150, paused on the chest and EXPLOSIVE)
If you must, you could easily throw in a few sets of curls between set of bench press.
I personally think this would work much better.

Thanks for the advice! I was thinking I may need to cut down on the assistance exercises. However, I do want this program to be a mass builder, not exclusively just for compound lift strength. Will my biceps and triceps still benefit from this routine if I cut out curls, dips, etc? Maybe I could do something like this for back/biceps:
Deadlift: 5 x 5
Pulldowns: 5 sets
Rows: 5 sets
Preacher curls (switch to barbell curls after a few weeks): 4 sets
Bench press: 5 x 3
Age: 29
Weight: 147 lbs.
Height: 5'7"
Estimated body fat: 10%
Current fitness goal: Bulking
What you wrote looks good, if you re-read my post I say to throw in some curls between set of bench press to save time. You can throw in triceps in a similar fashion during explosive squats on bench day.
Good luck!

Man, to be young again, and be able to do this much volume.
I agree with Commander's comments.
If you focus on the 20%, you'll receive bigger benefits for the time spent.
Age: 29
Weight: 147 lbs.
Height: 5'7"
Estimated body fat: 10%
Current fitness goal: Bulking
You are gonna benefit way more if you , as Commander already said, if you limit your assistance exercises a lot more. If you stick to the main compound exercises you will still see amazing results. the only extra exercises i have brought in are curls , overhead press, and pull ups. I do those each on separate days.
For example
Monday i do my 5x5 workout consisting of
Squats 5x5
Bench 5x5
Dead 5x5
curls 3x8
same 5x5 workout as monday
3x10 overhead press
Friday. same 5x5 as monday and wed.
10x6 pullups.
I have been doing 5x5 for 18 months. trust me overdoing the assist. exercises will hinder your strength gains. I know its hard to not add in other exercises but trust me you dont need them. I put over 200 pounds on my squat. 200 pounds on my deadlift and 150 pounds on my benchpress and all my other lifts have increased because of this.
the biggest mistake people make in doing the 5x5 is adding in to much , In doing so you dont get the benefits of the program.
Man O steel.
Please tell me a little more about your 5X5 program.
Do you pyramid the weights on the 5X5 sets or use the same weight for each set?
Do you warm up before your 5X5 sets? If so, what do you do?
Do you ocassionally need to lower your weights (cycle)?
Thanks, Troy
Here are the basics of my weekly routine
Please tell me a little more about your 5X5 program.I have heavy days for each exercise.
Mondays are heavy (100%) days for squat.
90% (5 rep max) of bench press
80% (5 rep max) of deadlift.
100% bench
90% deads
80% squat
100% Deads
90% Squat
so you see i put the exercises in rotation and each day has a heavy day
Do you pyramid the weights on the 5X5 sets or use the same weight for each set?
Yes i Pyramid the weights. for example for heavy day squat. I will start at 135 and honestly prob do 10 reps to get stretched out and warmed up. then pyramid up. so here is my last workout set on squat as an example.
225x5 35%
300x5 70%
350x5 80%
395x5 90%
440x5 100%
Do you warm up before your 5X5 sets? If so, what do you do?
As i mentioned i usually use 135 as my warmup on all my exercises and do 10-12 reps as my actual warmup set and then just pyramid up to my heavy set. i feel like for me this is sufficient warm up.
Do you ocassionally need to lower your weights (cycle)?
Yes i do de-load or cycle the weight as needed. each week my goal is to put 5 pounds more on the bar. so if i do 440 x 5 on squat and i reach that goal then next week i will go for 445. however if i fail before i get that 5th rep give myself two more attempts or two more weeks at that weight. if i never reach that 5th rep with that particular weight they i de-load or cycle the weight down by 20% and work back up. so say i am using 440 and i fail 3 weeks in a row. I would drop the weight to approx. 360 as my 100% the following week and progressively put on 5 pounds per week and work my way back up to try and surpass that previous 5 rep max of 440. same applies to all three exercises.
as for my assistance exercises. those have been added in as i felt they were needed to strengthen muscles that were lacking and i felt would help in getting me past plateaus i was hitting in my main exercises.
thats pretty much the basics to it I have had great success with 5x5. i am hoping to to reach the 500 lbs pound mark on squat by the end of this year at the body weight of 190. the higher the weight on the bar the slower the process is but i really do enjoy it more than any program i have ever done.
Thanks, Troy[/quote]

Google Search does its job if it sends you to the most relevant sites as fast as possible. Google OS tries to keep you using it to save and edit documents, photos, blog posts, events and more.
The services from Google OS might be search results, but not necessarily the best. While most people identify Google with Google Search, the company has to use its most valuable assets: the homepage and the search results pages to promote the rest of the products. That's why you'll see ads for Google Toolbar at the bottom of SERPs or promos for Google Talk, Google Checkout on the homepage. Google also uses AdWords to promote its services, but the ads can't stand out enough to be really effective.
The problem with Google's promos is that they're not context-sensitive, so users will find them out-of-place. The famous self-promoting tips tried to react to user's query, but they were poorly targeted and stirred a lot of controversy. The sacrosanct search results had an undisclosed ad on top.
So how should Google promote its services without affecting the credibility of search results? Gmail should integrate with more Google services and become a way to discover the usefulness of the rest of Google: read feeds, view your agenda, save notes, manage your attachments and the files saved in other Google services. Google Toolbar and Google Desktop should become more useful and bring the power of Google services anywhere you are. Google should secure other channels for promoting its products instead of relying on tips and promos.

Led by Christopher and Kristine, the vineyard selection was anything but happenstance. They sought and discovered a piece of land reminiscent of the warm Barossa Valley of the land down under. Here, the perfect union of climate, soil, and geography permit the infusion of the best of Alexander Valley with Australian vitality and heritage of winemaking.
On the heels of the success of their Alexander Valley site, the family added an extraordinary piece of land in Mendocino's Yorkville Highlands. In 2001, under the guidance of a new Aussie winemaker for both estates, Michael Scholz, they released their first Mendocino Sauvignon Blanc. In the next few years the vineyard promises to produce fruit for a Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz as well.
This was the inception of Wattle Creek, an American winery that derives its logo and name from the yellow blossom of the Australian Wattle tree and its essence and style from Australia. View all Wattle Creek Winery Wines
About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineries
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

A Samsung executive holds a large, flat rectangle — what could be mistaken for a floor tile — next to his face, and smiles.
"In my case I'm using this device," he says. "Which is big."
Hankil Yoon, a product strategy executive at Samsung, is showing off the new Galaxy Note, an over-sized smartphone with a 5.3 inch display that's part of a new class of phones being dubbed "phablets."
A portmanteau of phone and tablet, they are aimed at helping you avoid that old First-World problem of having to carry around both a tablet and a phone, along with the need to squint when you're reading articles or watching movies on said phone.
The Note is currently on display at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, where artists have been using it to draw caricatures of delegates with the help of a stylus.
It runs on the next-to-latest version of Android, has an eight-megapixel camera and costs around $300 on a two-year contract. It is a little weighty at 6.3 ounces and might look a tad silly at ear-level.
Phablets are thus having a hard time finding acceptance. Tech blog Gizmodo recently called LG's new phablet, the Vu, "offensive in virtually every way that an object can offend… Let it never leave Korean gadget hell."
But consumers seem to like it. Samsung says it has already sold 2 million Notes since last October's launch, and plans to sell another 10 million by the end of 2012.
Do people really need these things? "I think people don't know what they need," Yoon says confidently. "But as soon as they start using it, they think that's what they need." Yoon adds that he's grown to enjoy reading emails and browsing web pages on his Note's SuperAMOLED display. "I'm not going back to other devices now."
Nokia's chief executive Stephen Elop seems to disagree, despite the fact that Nokia's new Lumia 900 boasts an almost phablet-like, 4.3-inch display.
"I'm unsure about whether it's a good niche or not," he told me earlier at MWC. "A number of markets are really driving larger form factors. The 900 is this size because when you talk to people in the U.S., it's what people want… It's something we'll watch carefully."
Maybe if Samsung really does sell those 10 million phablets this year, Elop and others will change their minds.

Wind: 0 mph
November 30, 2006
By Lisa Loomis
Virginia Houston, through her attorney Paul Gillies, is appealing a ruling by Waitsfield's zoning administrator over whether the town needs a conditional use permit to drill test wells in the right of way on the Reed Road.
Houston owns some 1,500 acres of land along the east side of Waitsfield which runs up and over the Northfield Ridge. In the mid 1990s she tapped into an enormous aquifer on her land which is near the Reed Road.
This summer the town began test drilling in the town right of way on that road, seeking sources of water for a municipal water source. A high yield test well was drilled in August. Prior to commencing drilling, the town held a public hearing on its plans to drill in the public right of way. At that hearing, state officials were present and discussed with the select board, Houston's attorneys and others the process by which public water sources are acquired and created.
While the town is drilling in the public (town controlled) right of way, it will need to acquire an easement or right of way from Houston to create the well-head protection zone it needs for its public water system. But before the town pursues state public water certification (and the easement or right of way from Houston) it opted to do the test drilling.
On October 26, Houston's attorney Paul Gillies asked town zoning administrator David Jescavage to provide a written decision on whether the town does or does not need a zoning permit to conduct the test drilling.
"I write on behalf of Virginia Houston, who owns land on which the town of Waitsfield has begun a water drilling operation, without any zoning permit.
"The town is not exempt from zoning. It must obtain a conditional use permit for this purpose, just as any other person. In that light, I ask that you investigate these actions, and issue a notice of violation against the Town," Gillies wrote in an October 26 letter.
Jescavage responded on November 3. He noted that he had reviewed the matter and concluded that a zoning permit is not required for the drilling of a well, regardless of the location.
"The drilling of the well itself does not constitute a change of use," Jescavage wrote in his reply to Gillies.
"It is my understanding that the town is still in the exploratory stages of a municipal water system and that, as of yet, a project does not exist that could be taken through the permit process. A number of significant issues need to be decided before the town could proceed with an application," he continued.
Gillies appealed that administrative decision from Jescavage on November 22. Appeals of administrative decisions such as Jescavage's decision would normally go first to the Zoning Board of Adjustment and then an appellant could ask for reconsideration if a decision deemed adverse it rendered. If pursued beyond the local level, an appeal would go to Vermont Environmental Court.
Jescavage, after receiving the appeal from Gillies, noted that appeals of decisions of an administrative officer (such as the zoning administrator) need to be filed within 15 days of the date of the decision. He said that he will bring the matter to the town zoning board of adjustment for their review and consideration.
Houston, after tapping into the aquifer on her land, went through a lengthy permitting process, seeking permits to truck water off the site for a commercial use. She thrice attempted to have the zoning changed so that commercial water extraction was deemed a use by right (not subject to town review) rather than a conditional use. She went through the conditional use review process for her project and did receive a permit for six round-trip truck trips per day to her well. She never used the permits.
