TUMOXIL is an organic natural formula that may help with fatty tumors on your canine. Many times pet guardians may find a lump after their dog's daily grooming sessions or when checking for fleas or ticks. One of the most common lumps are lipomas; these are fatty deposits under the skin. Lipomas are usually benign, they usually are soft and they seem to not cause any particular pain or problems to the dog.In extremely rare cases, lipomas can become cancerous, causing inflammation around the tumor site, and may have the ability to metastasize (spread to other tissues). Fortunately, however, this is rare in dogs, and exceedingly rare in cats.
Sometimes lipomas may grow very large and depending on where they are located, they may cause discomfort and therefore. It is best then to have the lump checked out in order to rule out any possible malignancies such as basal cell tumors, sebaceous adenocarcinoma or mast cell tumors.
Most often vets will recommend surgery as their only course for removing these tumors; many owners are concerned about putting a dog through surgery especially if the pet is middle aged or a senior; and in most cases the tumors grow back. In these cases owners look for alternative treatments.
While a lipoma is not life threatening, it is still a sign that all is NOT well.

A Google supported YouTube app for Microsoft Windows Phone has been delayed for more than two years, and now Microsoft is pointing fingers at Google.
Microsoft VP & Deputy General Counsel Dave Heiner posted an extensive attack against YouTube and Google on Microsoft's public policy blog in which he blamed YouTube for a lack of support. Heiner notes that Microsoft's own attempts to create a suitable app have been hindered because of lacking YouTube support.
For YouTube's part, the company prefers to control every aspect of its app builds, and Microsoft is not likely to give Google full access to the systems it needs to create a suitable app that can compete with Google Android and Apple iOS apps.
Regardless of Google's stance, the team at Microsoft is placing all of the blame on Google:
"Microsoft has continued to engage with YouTube personnel over the past two years to remedy this problem for consumers. As you might expect, it appears that YouTube itself would like all customers – on Windows Phone as on any other device – to have a great YouTube experience. But just last month we learned from YouTube that senior executives at Google told them not to enable a first-class YouTube experience on Windows Phones."
Google answers back by noting that its web-based app is accessible via Windows Phone apps:
"Contrary to Microsoft's claims, it's easy for consumers to view YouTube videos on Windows phones. Windows phone users can access all the features of YouTube through our HTML5-based mobile website, including viewing high-quality video streams, finding favorite videos, seeing video ratings, and searching for video categories. In fact, we've worked with Microsoft for several years to help build a great YouTube experience on Windows phones."
At this time, the YouTube websites HTML5 mobile development allows for full Windows Phone access via mobile browser.

One month after taking over ownership of the Columbus Crew, Anthony Precourt made his first big move on Monday, parting ways with head coach Robert Warzycha.
Technical director Brian Bliss takes over as interim head coach with the hope of helping the Crew (8-13-5, 29pts) make up the eight points that currently separate them from the fifth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. He will have eight regular season matches remaining to accomplish the feat, beginning with Wednesday's home match-up against the Houston Dynamo (7:30 ET, MLS LIVE).
Assistant Coaches Ricardo Iribarren and Vojislav Stanisic were also let go, with Mike Lapper staying on to work with Bliss.
Warzycha's ousting comes on the heels of a 1-0 home loss to the Seattle Sounders in a match that saw the Crew enjoy a one-man advantage from the start when Sounders defender Leo Gonzalez was shown a red card in the 7th minute.
"I have been intently following this team since mid-April when we decided to explore the possibility of acquiring the Crew," Precourt said in a club statement. "When we came to the conclusion that we were not going to retain Robert beyond this season, it was apparent that we needed to make this change now so that we can refocus the club around Brian's leadership for the remainder of this season, as well as get the process started on finding a new head coach."
Warzycha, who was in his fifth year as Crew manager, has been with the club for 18 years since the inaugural season in 1996, occupying playing and coaching capacities. He departs with the most regular season wins by a Crew head coach (70, tied with Tom Fitzgerald) in addition to having led the Black-and-Gold to the 2009 Supporters' Shield, back-to-back CONCACAF Champions League semifinal appearances and a 2010 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final.
"It is with mixed emotions that I accept this position," Bliss said in the club's statement. "Robert is a true professional and a close friend, and I will personally miss working with him.
Bliss has been a technical director for the Crew over six years and will maintain those duties while taking over the coaching reins. A former assistant coach in Kansas City, where he also served as interim head coach in 2006, Bliss was most recently an assistant for Tab Ramos on the US Under-20 national team which participated in the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup earlier this year.
"Sometimes in these situations a fresh perspective and a new voice are needed," continued Bliss. "I'm confident in our players and the talent on our roster. I know these guys have a lot of fight in them, and they have the desire to continue battling and finish strong. Our fans deserve to see the best out of this team, and I plan to do what's necessary to make that happen."
Bliss will get a shot at the full-time gig, according to team president and GM Mark McCullers, who also confirmed the club has already started the process of seeking candidates for the full-time position.
"We plan to be very thorough and detailed in our process to find a new head coach," McCullers said in a statement. "Brian deserves the opportunity to be part of that process, and we plan to have a lot of conversations over the course of the next few months."

Gel Nails are becoming very popular in Malta. Although not as strong as Acrylic Nails, many are opting for Gel Nails because Gel Nails are truly natural looking: flexible, clear, thin, non-yellowing, nonporous, etc.
Gel nails can be used for natural nail overlays, tip overlays, and sculpted onto forms for short extensions, and to help encapsulate a damage free-edge as it grows out.
The ultimate long-term goal with gels is for you to end up growing out and wearing your own long, strong, beautiful, healthy nails under the gel; so that you are no longer to be considered wearing artificial nails, but with the gel becoming essentially just a very strong, bonded base coat to protect your own nails from cracking, splitting, peeling, chipping, etc.
Wouldn't it be better to feel that you are now wearing a nail enhancement, not "fake" nails? And the enhancement need never be removed, only maintained on a regular schedule!
Just as hair colour is an enhancement of your natural hair, not "fake" hair, and can be maintained indefinitely. Gel nail enhancements are your own natural nail… only better!
And gels are totally compatible and complementary to other salon add-on services such as paraffin wax or hand facials, to complete the total hand beauty regimen.
Shakira Nail Technician and Nail Artist Charlotte Borg enjoys more than 15 years experience inNail Technology and has been laying Gel Nails ever since they surfaced in Australia.
At Shakira we offer full nail services including French manicures and pedicures, nail art designs and nail airbrushing.

Even though the "LEave Brittany Alone" video made me laugh,
I kind of don't like Chris Crocker because I noticed he used some of George Carlin's material as his own without even mentioning his name.
One of his videos he talks about religion and he quoted word for word what George Carlin said. Although it could just be coincidence I doubt it.
Trust me I know, I memorized lots of Carlin's material over the years.

Lex Jurgen - October 12, 2017
Every man exists somewhere on the scale of skeevy male behavior. From one to ten. Maybe you see yourself on the bottom end. You're not a zero. No man is or we wouldn't have seven billion people on this planet. This alone should ever give you pause in calling out other men for their own possibly abhorrent, yet non-criminal, moves on women.
Ninety percent of Hollywood resources are now being deployed toward personal disavowals of Harvey Weinstein. The Nuremberg defendants took personal responsibility with great aplomb. Every enabler, cohort, and silent watcher is collectively and individually shocked, disgusted, and recommitting themselves to making sure this never happens again.
Ben Affleck is a known chum of Weinstein going back to Good Will Hunting. A good movie made by talented people who would go on to exploit a lot of women. Affleck felt a need to drive home the point of how much he detests Weinstein's actions which he naturally was never even close to knowing about:
"I am saddened and angry that a man who I worked with used his position of power to intimidate, sexually harass and manipulate many women over decades. The additional allegations of assault that I read this morning made me sick. This is completely unacceptable, and I find myself asking what I can do to make sure this doesn't happen to others… we must support those who come forward, condemn this type of behavior when we see it and help ensure there are more women in positions of power."
These face-saving rants are available at the Brentwood Whole Foods for $7.99, next to the veganic sprouted rice muffins. Buy one and post it. Had Affleck said nothing, he might've gotten away without a blowback lashing for his own behavior on that male scale. These guys simply can't bring themselves to know when the getting's good. You are not Batman. Repeat that.
Rose McGowan, who's finally been vindicated in her tedious and anonymous charges of the past many years, told Affleck to "Fuck off" on Twitter. She followed up by insisting that she told Affleck to his face of the time Weinstein assaulted her and Affleck responded, "God dammit, I told him to stop doing that". McGowan could be lying, but she's not. Outrage pimps are like broken clocks. This is her twice a day moment.
A bunch of other women brought up Affleck's treatment of his own wife, what with stuffing the nanny, potentially other women, gambling, booze, and wrecking the marriage. None of which is as gross as Weinstein, but again, Ben, remember the scale.
Finally somebody remembered that time in 2003 when Affleck went on MTV's TRL to promote a film and did the titty squeeze hand move on a then 21-year old MTV hostess, Hilarie Burton. It's there alright. Whatever Burton thought about it at the time, she's now granted the privilege of writing the history page on the moment, and she's gone with "I laughed because I was too scare to cry". That's not good on your permanent record. Affleck was forced to issue an apology. Once you've done that you've admitted you're the Cleveland Browns of moralists.
Affleck's buddy Matt Damon issued similarly sharp condemnation of Weinstein's actions, especially as a "father of daughters" as Damon reminded everybody. Though Damon's been added to the list of guys who Weinstein used to call the New York Times in 2004 and shitcan a piece about Miramax's "executive" in Italy whose main job seemed to be finding women for Weinstein on his many trips to the country. Though both seem to have logical explanations of their calls to the Times at the time. None of which matters now. This broad brush is broader than seen before.
Let those who have sinned cast the first stone. In short, no fucking stones. Hide in your palatial bunkers for six months and wait until the ill winds have blown over. As if Hollywood celebrities had any control over their desperate need for virtue signaling. About as much control as Weinstein did around his submissive targets. It was better when only the potted plants had to contain the false front jizz.

Une nouvelle technique de SÃĐquençage massif de lâADN appliquÃĐe aux palmiers pour comprendre lâorigine de la forÊt tropicale en AmÃĐrique centrale
Origin of Central American rainforests inferred from a next-generation phylogeny of palms
Stakeholders: Angela Cano (PhD), Fred Stauffer, Mathieu Perret
Collaborations: Prof. Alex Antonelli, Dr. Christine Bacon (University of GÃķtteborg, The Antonelli lab)
The position of Panama at the crossroad between North and South America has strongly influenced its outstanding biodiversity. Floristic data indicates that the Panamanian flora has three main components: the Andean centered taxa, the Amazonian-centered taxa and the Laurasian species. However, little is known about the historical assembly of this flora and the relative role of dispersal and in situ diversification.
In this study, palms (Arecaceae) are selected as a model group to address these questions. This family is a major component of tropical forests and an ideal study model to investigate the evolution of this ecosystem. Species from the Isthmus of Panama and the neighboring areas will be extensively sampled and a time-calibrated phylogeny of these palms will be obtained from the analysis of next generation sequencing data. Comparing the biogeographic history and diversification patterns among different clades of palms may contribute to understand the age and source of palm diversity in Central America and how it has been shaped by the complex geologic history of the region during the Cenozoic.

The SmarK Starrcade Countdown: 1987
(2011 Scott sez: Right away be warned, this is an OLD review and I'm not particularly fond of my writing style at this point.)
The Netcop Retro Rant for Starrcade 87.
· Live from Chicago, IL
· Your hosts are Tony Schiavone & Jim Ross
· This was the first NWA PPV, and the WWF decided to do a pre-emptive strike by putting the first ever Survivor Series on against this on the same night. Guess what the cable companies chose? (2011 Scott sez: In fact, the cable companies wanted to choose BOTH and do a double-header because Starrcade was scheduled in the afternoon, but Vince flipped out and threatened to drop Wrestlemania from any cable companies that showed Starrcade at all. 5 of them called his bluff, and they ended up showing Wrestlemania anyway)
· Opening match: Sting, Michael Hayes & Jimmy Garvin v. Eddie Gilbert, Rick Steiner & Larry Zbyszko.
This would be a UWF crossover feud. Sting has just turned face for the first time, leaving Gilbert's employ. (2011 Scott sez: Gilbert looks like a genius in hindsight for discovering Sting and associating himself with him enough to make sure he would be on the right side when Sting broke huge.) A note on NWA PPVs in the early years: The lighting is straight out of ECW hell, and the arena is half-empty. Sting hits a plancha on Rick Steiner out of the gate and we've got a ring-a-ding-dong-dandy as the faces clear the ring. Sting is crazy over, even in this early phase of his career. Hayes and Garvin are NOT a team at this point—Garvin is just the token NWA representative. Very Mid-South style tag match, with the heels getting a severe beating until Garvin gets caught in the corner. Sadly, Garvin was the best wrestler on the face team. It's only from 89-on that he got REALLY, REALLY bad. Speaking of differences, Rick Steiner still had the brains god gave him at this point. An automobile accident would scramble his brains a couple of months after this, turning him into the lovable doofus he's been ever since. He was more of a generic Eddie Gilbert goon at this point. Larry works in a quick ABDOMINAL STRETCH OF SEVERE DISCOMFORT before Sting gets the hot tag. The heels make short work of him, beating on him some more. We're running out of time. Sting escapes a Steiner sleeper and gets the hot tag to Hayes. Yes, it's another katie-bar-the-door pier-six brawl and Hayes hits a bulldog on Larry Z as the crowd goes nutso. Hayes goes for a sleeper and Gilbert nails him off the top rope. Steiner hits a nice belly-to-belly for two, and then Hayes gets a sunset flip on Gilbert and the referee messes up, counting to two and then stopping before the three, even though the bell hadn't rung yet. Decent enough. **1/2
· UWF Title match: Steve Williams v. Barry Windham.
Okay, whenever someone hits someone in the groin on a leapfrog and I make reference to Barry Windham, it's because of this match. No real angle to set it up—this was the dying days of the UWF and this was for all intents and purposes the last appearance of the UWF title. Doc and Barry do some mat wrestling, boring the crowd. They trade some suplexes and that goes nowhere. Williams holds onto a headlock tenaciously, surviving a pair of backdrop suplexes to hang on. Crowd is seriously not digging this match—until they do a criss-cross and Windham accidentally headbutts Dr. Death on a leapfrog. Fans scream for Windham to do something, but Barry allows him to recover. Williams walks around clutching his groin to shake off the pain. They do another criss-cross and Windham misses a bodypress and goes flying to the floor. Windham rolls in and Williams goes for the kill, cradling him for the pin. Match was all of about 5 minutes—I guess Williams or Windham got legitimately hurt. Ironically, years later Barry Windham and Dustin Rhodes would lose the tag titles to Steamboat and Douglas…because Rhodes did the Barry Windham job on Steamboat and wouldn't go for the kill. And who was standing on the ring apron screaming at him to pin Steamboat? Barry Windham. Anyway, this match blew. ½* (2011 Scott sez: I'm really not sure if there was an injury involved or just a huge style clash or what, but you'd think that this pairing would have produced a better result.)
· Scaffold match: The Midnight Express v. The Rock N Roll Express. Ah, my very, very favorite type of match…the same type that produced that -**** classic to open Bash 91. Eaton hugs Cornette goodbye before climbing the scaffold. Big Bossman Bubba Rogers the Guardian Angel gives the Bossman slam to Morton (and what a beauty shot it was, too) and that leaves Robert all by his lonesome on the scaffold. Morton mugs Cornette and steals the LOADED TENNIS RACKET OF DOOM and takes it up the scaffold. Gibson has the audacity to blade. They crawl around on the scaffold for a while, and Eaton blades too. Eaton throws powder in the RnR's faces. For those who don't know, the object is to knock both guys off the scaffold. Eaton gets the racket and swings away, but Gibson pulls a piece of the scaffold off and nails him. Lane gets knocked to the underside of the scaffold and Morton follows him down as Gibson wales on Eaton with the racket. Lane falls first, leaving Eaton 2-on-1 against the Rock N Roll. They hammer away on him and drive him off for the win. Probably the best scaffold match I've seen, but then there's only been three of any note besides this and they all sucked. Big Bubba climbs the scaffold and challenges Morton, so Ricky hits him in the nuts and runs away. Wow, what a hero. **
· TV title Unification match: NWA World TV champion Nikita Koloff v. UWF TV champion Terry Taylor. This is the reason why all the former UWF TV champions can claim to be former holders of the current TV title. There was some pointless angle behind this, but really the whole point was to bury the UWF in the Crockett Graveyard. (2011 Scott sez: 14 years after this, and the similarities would abound at Survivor Series 2001) Nikita no-sells a bunch of Terry's stuff. KOOOOOOOOOOO-LOFF. KOOOOOOOOO-LOFF. Who's next, comrade? Taylor's offense is having literally no effect. Koloff holds an armbar forever, and goes for the Sickle…but misses and crashes into the corner. You know what would be the coolest thing ever? If THQ had done Revenge and got rid of the fake Japanese fed and put an NWA fed in there—you could have Koloff, Blanchard, AA, Dusty Rhodes, The Rock N Rolls, the Midnights…I would SO buy that game and play it for the rest of my life if I could do my own R n' R v. Midnights series. Of course, if someone was feeling ambitious, the movesets could quite easily be duplicated using WM2000's creation system, and Jericho's tights would work well for the Rock n Roll. The Midnights might be a little tougher, however. Anyway, Taylor controls with some solid stuff, using his brain to avoid Koloff's power attack, and using Eddie Gilbert to cheat like a mother…trucker. We get the mandatory assisted figure-four, which is like an NWA trademark. Koloff escapes and Taylor collides with Gilbert in the ensuing argument with the ref, Sickle, goodnight Irene. For those of you who weren't around for Nikita's glory days, the Russian Sickle was a running lariat out of the corner. Pretty good match once it got going. *** Taylor retreated to the USWA and eventually the WWF shortly after this, because really it couldn't get much worse…could it?
· NWA World title match: Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson v. The Road Warriors. This is where everyone thought the Roadies would absolutely, positively, guaranteed walk out with the titles after years of trying. They proceed to manhandle the Horsemen to start out, prompting Tully to run away. They get several two counts before Tully tags in Arn. AA fairs no better and the Warriors look to go for the kill early. The champs are absolutely getting routed. Nasty spot as Animal bearhugs Tully, and Hawk gives Tully a shot from the apron to add insult. Finally, after about 10 minutes of non-stop punishment, Hawk goes for a press-slam on Tully and AA takes the opportunity to clip Hawk, putting the champs back in control. They proceed to cheat outrageously, slamming chairs into his knee and working it. Question: The spinning toehold causes pain to the knee, right? But if you follow through to the figure-four, then the pain is now on the straight leg. Just seems odd. (2011 Scott sez: It's SCIENCE, stupid) Arn works in his "try a test of strength but get crotched†spot, leading to the hot tag to Animal. All hell breaks loose and Tommy Young (the Charles Robinson of the 80s) takes a wicked awesome dive out of the ring and may be legally dead. LOD hits the Doomsday Device and Earl Hebner comes in and counts the pin. Okay, kids, if you don't know who booked this card and what happens next, you have no business reading about old NWA shows. Yes, it's the dreaded DUSTY FINISH as Tommy Young reveals that he saw Arn being thrown over the top rope, so the Warriors aren't actually champions after all. Crowd chants "bullshit†at that one. **1/2 (2011 Scott Sez: I redid this match for the Essential Starrcade rants on WWE 24/7 a couple of years back, and boosted this match to *** at that point.)
· US title match, cage: Lex Luger v. Really, really Big Poochie. If ever anyone earned the Poochie moniker, it's Dusty Rhodes. I'm shocked he settled for booking himself in the US title match. This is Luger's title v. Rhodes' career. That's hardly a fair trade. Luger is still way green at this point. The first 5 minutes is inexplicably cut out of this one. I have the full match on the Best of the Starrcade 83-87 tape, however, so I've seen it. Luger misses the Elbow Which Doth Never Hit and Rhodes goes to work on the arm. Luger comes back and rams Dusty into the cage—and I hope you're sitting down, cuz here comes a shocking development—and Rhodes bleeds. Yeah, I know, I'm sitting here thinking "Dusty…blade? In what universe?†but here it is, captured on tape: Dusty actually bleeding. Luger hits the Elbow Which Doth Never Hit. Dusty pulls out a dropkick, earning a 0.8 on the Erik Watts Dropkick Scale. Man, that was uglier than Rhodes and his kid combined. Luger gets the Rack, but Dusty is JUST TOO FAT. Who'd have thunk it'd be an advantage to be grossly overweight? I love reviewing Dusty's matches…it's like shooting fish in a barrel. Seemingly the only reason for the cage's existance here was to give Big Dust the chance to bleed, because otherwise it's a standard match and the cage is basically ignored. Luger holds move #193 (ARM-bar) for an extended period of time. Dusty jiggles his fat and makes the comeback. And people think PIPER exposes the business? This fat ass was out there from 1901 until almost the present day before he finally took the freaking hint and retired. But not until he foisted his idiot son on us. (2011 Scott sez: Man, I was in a bitter place towards Dusty here. Not sure what Dustin did to earn my wrath at this point, given that he was just in WCW as himself back when this was originally written.) Rhodes gets the sleeperhold, but Dillon knocks out Johnny Weaver (the keeper of the key) and tosses a chair in for Luger. Luger….slowly….picks….up…..the…..chair, allowing Dusty the time to peel his digusting fat ass off the mat and DDT Luger on the chair (no, that wasn't contrived or unbelievable in the least, Dusty) for the pin and the US title. Do I seem bitter? * (2011 Scott sez: My own personal biases aside, this really was a butt-awful match, with Dusty not the right person to motivate Luger, to say the least.)
· NWA World title match: Ron Garvin v. Ric Flair. Everyone always asks why Garvin got the title—short answer is "There was no one elseâ€. Flair wanted to lose the title and regain it at Starrcade, but there was no top babyfaces who were dumb enough to agree to be a lameduck champion. So they got Garvin, who was dumb enough to agree to anything. And then because none of the top heels were dumb enough to put Garvin over when everyone knew Flair was just getting the belt back anyway, they all refused to job to him. So Garvin took a "sabbaticalâ€, thus making him a thoroughly useless champion in the eyes of the fans and the bookers. No wonder Crockett went broke. Inspirational babyface Garvin gets soundly booed by the fans. Again, the first few minutes of this match are clipped. And again, the full version is on Best of Starrcade. We pick it up with Garvin delivering the 10 punch count, and then the GARVIN STOMP OF SLIGHT DISCOMFORT! Flair retaliates with the Great Equalizer and Garvin does a terrible selling job. C'mon, Ronnie, you just got hit in the nuts by the dirtiest player in the game, show some emotion! Flair bounces around the body parts for a bit, then settles on the good ol' knee. Usual stuff…kneedrops, kneebreaker and then the figure-four. Why does Flair let go when Young looks? It's no-DQ. Oh well, habit I guess. Garvin reverses. Crowd rewards him with a "Garvin sucks†chant. This was 1987, remember, years before ECW trained fans to be that cynical. Flair decides to have a blading contest with Dusty and taps an artery. They fight to the top of the cage but it goes nowhere. Flair gets slammed off the top and Garvin does his own figure-four, which makes no sense because Flair hasn't sold any knee injuries in this match. Flair of course sells like he's being stabbed. Flair escapes, but Garvin gets to the top and hits a flying bodypress for two. Backslide for two. Flair refreshes his blade job and they climb to the top again. Flair, of course, gets crotched on the top rope as a result, but when Garvin goes for the SUNSET FLIP OF DOOM, which was the move that gave Garvin the title in the first place, Flair sits down and gets two. Garvin reverses for two. Young gets bumped mildly and Garvin hits the PUNCH OF DEATH for two. Garvin goes for something vaguely resembling a cross between a Thesz press and a bodypress, but Flair falls back and slams Garvin's head into the cage and gets the pin to put us out of our misery. Hope you enjoyed your one brush with greatness, Ron, you won't get a second one. Huge pop for Flair. So-so match with a weak ending. **1/2 (2011 Scott sez: On the bright side, we were THIS close to having NWA World Champion Buddy Landell dropping the belt back to Flair here.)
The Bottom Line: Not really representation of what the NWA had to offer, because none of these matches had a good angle behind them, and the matchups were less-than-ideal right off the bat. A very awkward show for the NWA…not that it mattered, because the buyrate was only something like .0000001 anyway.
Sorry, old school fans, I can't recommend it in good conscience.

5 Things You'll Receive at Wrestling Camp This Summer
Are you a wrestler that's looking to hone your skills this summer at camp? Well, then look no further – everything you need is at Nutmeg Wrestling Camp.
Located at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, Nutmeg Wrestling Camp was specifically designed to provide a complete wrestling experience for everyone in attendance. The only way to do that is by offering individual development opportunities.
After all, the only way to actually get better in a short period of time is to get some one-on-one attention. Every wrestler is different and has various strengths and weaknesses on the mat. We want to make sure those needs are met.
So, there are tons of wrestling camps out there to choose from. What makes Nutmeg the best one? Check out these 5 benefits that make our program stand out from the competition.
Top-Notch Coaching
We don't host a camp unless our Camp Directors are among the best in the country in their sport. We're proud to work with the dynamite coaching staff from the Sacred Heart University wrestling team.
Head coach Andy Lausier and assistant coach Derek Moore both come from vast backgrounds in the sport of wrestling that are rooted in success – not only as coaches, but also as wrestlers.
They don't want their campers to just get better on the mat. Sure, that's part of it, but they also want to instill sportsmanship and further their passion for the sport before camp is over.
Low Camper-to-Coach Ratio
As mentioned earlier, every wrestler is different and we want to make sure each camper gets the individual attention they need to see improvement. This is not just a goal – it's something that's mandatory and we take very seriously with our 8-to-1 camper-to-coach ratio.
This will include 1-on-1 coaching, tips and analysis on technique that spans beyond what they're used to – video analysis will also be used so they can break it down together afterward.
Safety, Supervision & Respect
We fully understand that allowing your child to attend a camp – whether it's an extended day camp or overnight camp – can be a little unnerving. We want to assure you that they're in terrific hands when they're with us.
Staff will be in attendance at all times to supervise campers for the duration of the event. Everyone will be treated with respect, and that's something we expect from every camper that joins us, as well.
Focus on the Mental Aspect
By it's very nature, wrestling is a physical sport. While training and keeping your body in peak physical condition is important, it's vital to also make sure the mind is strong and able to withstand the grind of being on the mat.
One of our focuses at camp includes mental toughness development and sports psychology.
The Motivation to Take Your Game to the Next Level
As head coach Andy Lausier says to his wrestlers at SHU, toughness defines a wrestler, and it's important to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Need a little motivation? Hear from coach yourself:
We want all our wrestlers to walk away with the confidence necessary to be successful, both on and off the mat.
So, what are you waiting for? Sign up and join us for the best week of your summer!

Plenty of savoury goodness inviting you in for another whiff. Tomato leaf at the fore. Cassis and black currant fruit hold the fort. There's a suggestion of some raisins, dark plums and mulberries moving to dark chocolate. It's cut and sleek. Tobacco and fine tannins close it out. Acid still seems keen to kick on as the rest are turning the lights out. Despite the five years age already under its belt, there's at least another ten to give. I do lean towards the vineyard Cabernet blend out of the two - oh to be choosy.

Phillip Island WorldSBK test
Phillip Island's high winds and high speeds proved a bad combination for many riders on the first day of WorldSBK testing, with even some world champions being caught out and crashing in a big way.
2013 winner Tom Sykes set a handful of laps in the afternoon session, building speed to be on course for a personal best lap until a big highside in the fast turn 11 spat him off.
"The wind was incredible, but I had a good feeling with the bike and I was happy with our performance in those conditions. But, I got a little bit more throttle opening and I lost the rear tyre, with not so much warning," Sykes told bikesportnews.com.
"Then I had a big crash, a big highside at turn 11. Thanks to Dainese and Shark because, wow, I cannot believe I got away with it! No broken bones but soft tissue damage on the ankle and foot. It is my left foot, but it is OK – I can stamp them gears down!"
Sykes had had a relatively recent operation to remove some metalwork from the left hand and finger area he injured so spectacularly at Portimao last year. He was lucky to not hurt himself in that area in what was a fast crash hard on the gas, made worse by his bike impacting with him after he had come to a halt.
"My previous hand and finger injury is OK, got away with that. I got the arms tucked in. It wouldn't have been so bad but the bike caught me up, just as I was finishing rolling and it smashed into my legs a bit. But it was not too bad. I think I will be a bit sore on the ankle tomorrow but everywhere else, I think we will be good."
The crash was particularly frustrating for Sykes as he had been making gains in his lap time, and was otherwise feeling comfortable unit his surprise heavy fall. "In general, we have been good, and I am happy with my progress," said Sykes. "We tried a few different things this morning – and this afternoon we were straight out.
"I got up to speed even with the windy conditions and was on a personal best lap, actually. I would have beaten my best lap from this morning, which was not the norm. Most people were slower in the afternoon."
Sykes and his 2018 peer group have one more day of testing before the first round of the championship starts for real, between 23rd and 25th February.
