Is this “Project X” in real life?! Not really. This did not happen in Pasadena, CA but at Western Illinois University in Macomb, IL in 2011.
A team of riot police (West Central Illinois Mobile Field Force) was called in after the annual Wheeler Block Party got out of control. This was brought on by numerous reports of dangerously high B.A.C. levels, the traditional "bike toss", and the subsequent burning of the bicycle as well as the damaging (complete uprooting) of a stop sign.
A House Divided By: Eric Dunbar
America is a great nation. In fact, in my opinion, America is the greatest nation on planet earth. You might ask, "What makes America so great?" I would answer, short and straight to the point, "The American people!" Embodied in the very being of the American people is the endurance of generations that will not let the nation fail or give up.
We have seen much turmoil and many adverse conditions have arisen against us as a nation, but the American people labored hard, fought long, and united together, to overcome all of the adversity that was meant to destroy us. In times past this togetherness has kept us strong and united, giving meaning to a nation that took pride in its name, the United States of America. But in 2010, that same America has now become a house divided, and unless we can once again unite for the common cause of attacking the nation’s problems instead of attacking each other, we will all self destruct. We are a nation that wastes too much time bickering among ourselves to be of any good to each other, and although most Americans speak unity, there are a great number of Americans who only have self-seeking motives, and will stop short of nothing to accomplish their own ends, even if it means selling out to the very things that will eventually destroy us. Racism is one enemy that has been a thorn in the side of America since the nation was founded. Yet there are those in America who would say that racism is no longer a problem. But contrary to popular belief, racism is very much alive today. There are still places in America, like Jena, LA; where near riot conditions erupted because of a "white" tree, where black students were not allowed to sit during the heat of the day. Can you believe that—a white tree in the 21st Century! Sounds like something out of a 1950s time capsule. Another enemy can be found hidden in America’s segregated political parties, Democrats and Republican, each having their own right wing extremists and personal agendas. To these political parties it is all about liberalism vs. conservatism, but to millions of Americans the agendas of the two divided political parties is translated into joblessness, homelessness, and hungriness. Did we not as voters elect members of the United States Senate and the Congress to represent us? But after the election did not those whom we elected adorn themselves in garments of selfishness and masks of greediness only to forget us? Yet in their lies they each coin the phrase, "We represent the American people." But do they represent America as a whole, or just rich America? But the biggest enemy of all in America is greed, all brought about by tax laws that favor the rich, not to mention rising medical and insurance costs. The rich are getting richer while keeping the poor in a place where they will never move out of poverty. All the while Congress is fighting a President who inherited an economy already in shambles, and it is evident in their actions that the fight is not about helping the American people. It is about a political party who act like pouting children whose only motive is to get their way, and when they do not, they rebel with their resurrected "Tea Parties." These Tea Baggers should all be held accountable for promoting division among Americans based on their own selfish motives. The house that once was united is now divided, and this division is built on a false pride. If we don’t unite America the outcome and the future of our beloved and great country shall be one of destruction. For it is written, "Pride goes before the fall."

Trivia: Did you know that just a few days after the Wheeler Street Block Party in 2011, Osama Bin Laden was killed by United States Navy SEALs?
Adapted from the resource New Day New You Devotional - by Joyce MeyerThe Samaritans who came against the Israelites as they were building the temple of the Lord had become like a mountain of human obstacles, frustrating them and preventing them from doing what God had commanded them to do.
That may be the situation in which you find yourself right now as you read these words. You may feel that the Lord has told you to do something but that the enemy has thrown up a mountain in your path to frustrate you and prevent you from carrying out the Lord's will. If so, I know just how you feel because that is exactly the way I used to feel.
The problem is one of perspective. In this passage the Lord tells Zechariah that the problem facing the Israelites, although it may appear to be a mountain, is actually a molehill.
How would you like for all your mountains to become molehills? They can, if you will do what God is saying here and look not at the problems but at the Lord and His power. If God has told you to do something, it is certainly His will that you not only begin but that you also finish it.
Prayer Starter: Father, I thank You that You are greater than every obstacle in my life. Please help me to keep my eyes on You and never give up on seeing Your will come to pass in my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Effectively promoting and marketing a product, service, website, or brand online can be quite the challenge in today’s competitive environment, requiring a multi-faceted approach and a significant investment of at least time and effort.For companies that are serious about getting their brand name out there on the World Wide Web, paying an experienced team of experts to do all the hard work seems to make the most sense from an investing standpoint. Still, even with an extensive advertising budget, simply deciding what to invest in first can seem like a daunting task when you’re just starting a campaign from scratch.
To provide a broad understanding of the main components of internet marketing, we’ve listed the following three promotion types that are essential in every marketing campaign. Search Engine Optimization Any website that aims to receive a large number of visitors on a daily basis should work to increase organic traffic through SEO. Organic traffic comes from visitors that stumble upon your site naturally while searching for a topic or keyword in a search engine like Google. By writing and posting content that targets popular searches or answers popular queries, you’ll be able to attract targeted traffic and, most importantly, if you can obtain #1 rankings, your site will be showing up at the top of Google whenever someone searches for a specific term or phrase, which is of course is a reputation booster. 2. Social Networking and Social Media Every internet marketing campaign should involve the creation and ongoing maintenance of multiple social networking accounts. Social media marketing can be defined as the practice of posting interesting and entertaining media to your social networking accounts so that it can be seen and shared by all of your followers, who then share it with their friends, creating the commonly mentioned "viral traffic" effect. You should devote a significant portion of your time to keeping social accounts updated and posting the best new content you can find or create. 3. PPC and Other Advertising Methods If you’ve ever browsed the internet for more than a minute, you’ve probably seen a text or banner ad before. They’re ubiquitous online, with advertising networks like Google Adwords making it easy for anyone to launch a campaign and have their ads posted on relevant sites in their niche the same day. For starters, you should be learning how to use Google’s pay-per-click (PPC) services to attract targeted visitors. A PPC advertising scheme only requires you to pay a set amount every time a web surfer clicks on one of your ads and is brought to the landing page on your site. Bringing it All Together After you attract a decent amount of traffic from the SEO and social media efforts, and have started getting conversions with the PPC, you can then calculate, on average, how much you’re having to spend on PPC before seeing a desired action (i.e. – a sales or newsletter sign-up) and from there you’ll be able to work out a rough estimate of how much it will cost you per conversion using PPC investments alone. 10 years of experience in seo field, i'm a Freelance SEO and a Freelance Wordpress
Five Core Training Modules that make up the main system. Each module builds on the one before it to rapidly increase your strength, speed, power, flexibility and overall athleticism. This entire system is designed to develop the youngest to the oldest and the most experienced to the least experienced athletes...The standards and graduation system is proven to encourage consistency and dedication in young athletes...
Built to inspire an internal drive in each athlete, over time, and instill the work ethic so many young athletes struggle to develop!In the member’s area for each module you’ll see a map showing you exactly where you are in the progression of the system, and what’s coming next... So you'll know exactly where to start, with any athlete, and how to effectively and safely progress as they increase strength, speed and athletic power!Along with the online member’s area, you also receive a printable PDF manual for each module so you can have it with you wherever you need it. Now, within the manual for each module you’re given a very specific set of guidelines that detail the duration of that specific module… how many times per week to train… and how to get the most out of the workouts.
Each week is laid out in detail for you, with workouts and rest days noted.And every workout – the exercises, sets, reps, and rest time – is completely filled in for you already.Each manual also come with progressive standards used to motivate athletes to climb the ranks as they build their overall athleticism...
Graduation tests are also included so each athlete knows when it is the right time to move to the next phase or......
if they should repeat a previous one and continue to build the base needed for life long strength and athleticism...
Not only that, but with every module you also get: Complete “Dynamic” warm-up routine and stretches to ensure your athletes are prepared for the day’s workout, to increase flexibility, and to help prevent injury… Next, you get a selection of speed & agility and ladder drills to pick from for each workout… Then you’ll find a series of recommended speed and agility games you can insert into any workout... The games designed to work hand-in-hand with the workouts to build athleticism.And games are important because when kids are playing and having fun, it doesn’t seem so much like forced “work,” so their attitudes are completely different and they actually want to join in.They still reap the benefits that come along with the “fun” exercise, plus they’re more engaged, so it’s a win-win for everybody. This is the secret sauce for attracting, retaining and motivating athletes from elementary to high school age! You also get a cool down routine for each workout. Cool down routines are important to speed recovery after a workout, increasing flexibility, and decrease muscle soreness… So be sure to emphasize the cool down routine! Finally, for some modules, there are important graduation tests at the end that athletes need to pass before they can continue to the next module.These tests are important markers, and let you know whether an athlete is equipped for the rigors of the next training phase. The graduation test are all based off the results athletes will document for our custom Speed, Agility and Strength Standard Charts… These charts are excellent ways to motivate athletes to constantly strive to move up the charts…
Top programs have religiously used these type of charts and standards to create enthusiasm and excitement around working out, motivating athletes to push their limits and ultimately building more physical and MENTAL strength in each of their athletes… You will also have downloadable certificates that you can print, fill out and present to each athlete that graduates specific phases or reaches special milestones in our custom standards chart. So, as you can see, the system’s completely “done for you.”In fact, you could start using the system tomorrow if you wanted to, here’s how easy it is to do:
Log in to your members area and have your athlete(s) take the simple tests we have provided…
Which will let them know exactly which phase to start with so they don’t bypass any fundamentals and jump right into the appropriate level and challenge they are ready for.

Dropsets are where you perform a set of an exercise to failure, or close to failure, with a given load and then immediately reduce the load and continue to crank out more reps until you hit failure again. An example of this would be if you were performing bicep cable curls. You perform 10 reps, hitting failure on the 10th. Then, instead of just calling it a set, you drop the weight down and continue the set again for another set amount of reps.
The idea behind dropsets is to be able to reach failure multiple times in a single set. This technique can be applied to any weighted exercise and can be done with more than one reduction in weight. Failure can be reached several times in a set if structured correctly.
WHY SHOULD I USE DROPSETS?
As you already know, intensity is arguably the most important variable for stimulating muscle growth. Dropsets are a tool to help exactly that – intensity. It’s important that we understand what dropsets do on a deeper level than just being able to explain that it increases intensity. Let’s use this example: you’re doing biceps curls with 50 kilos for a set of 10-12 reps. The 10th rep is difficult. The 11th rep – extremely hard. The 12th rep takes everything you’ve got left. And then there’s no way in hell you can even attempt a 13th rep. You’ve hit honest failure. But if you strip some weight off the bar and get back into the set, you can keep going. Even though you reached a point of momentary muscular failure, you haven’t reached absolute failure. You’ve only reached failure with that weight.
You see, in a single straight set performed at failure, you don’t activate every fiber in the targeted muscle group. Your body only recruits the number of fibers necessary to lift that particular weight for the desired number of repetitions. By stripping off weight and continuing the set, you accumulatively recruit more and more muscle fibers – muscle fibers that you normally wouldn’t hit with just a straight set.
It’s also valuable to understand that this accumulative recruitment of muscle fibers allows us to maximize the benefits of both load and time under tension. That means we’re going to be tapping into not just our fast-twitch fibers but also our stubborn, slow-twitch fibers. See, lifting heavy on the first portion of a dropset demands a high level of muscle activation so your body will have to recruit and tap into your fast-twitch fibers. As you work your way through subsequent drops in weight, we’re going to be recruiting more and more muscle fibers because you’ll be providing greater time under tension than if you stopped after one set. This also means that as time under tension continues, eventually our stubborn type 1 fibers will be getting the stimulus they need to grow as well. And, as if things couldn’t get any better, just know that the increased fatigue we experience will act as a safeguard to ensure you’re really hitting those type 2 fibers. Fatigue can actually make it easier for your body to recruit type 2 fibers at a lighter weight when they normally wouldn’t be required to. All these factors ultimately add up to greater muscle fatigue than a standard straight set, heightened metabolic stress, which can help to enhance the metabolic environment, as well as significant spikes in growth hormone levels.
HOW DO I USE DROPSETS?
As mentioned before, you can apply dropsets to any weighted exercise. Machine-based exercises are by far the easiest from a practical point of view. You just have to pull out a pin to change the weight and don’t even have to get out of position compared to pulling weights off barbells.
Next, how much weight do you need to drop? This varies on the targeted rep range. Let’s use eight reps as an example. On average, you’ll drop 15-20%. If you’re looking for a high repetition per drop, a larger percentage drop will be needed. It really comes down to your strength level.
OTHER DROPSET CONSIDERATIONS
A few other things to take into consideration when structuring dropsets:
Keep rest intervals to a minimum. Usually the time between weight drops ranges from 0-10 seconds, but the briefer the time between the weight change, the more intense and effective your dropset will be.
Set up your equipment in advance. To move quickly from one drop to the next, you should have all your equipment set up before starting the first exercise. Instead of putting big plates on a barbell or machine, load it up with fives and tens, ready to be stripped. If you’re doing triple drops with dumbbells, line all three pairs up beforehand.
Use two weight drops. Most of the time, you can really go crazy with dropsets and reduce the weight as many times as you want. However, there seems to be a point of diminishing returns after two or three weight reductions. The most common dropset method is a triple drop where you use three weights and two weight reductions.
Live close to failure. If you start with a weight that is too light, you’ll achieve little more than a muscle pump with the dropset technique. To take full advantage of the enhanced muscle fiber recruitment, you should reach failure, or close to it, with each weight before dropping down to the next weight set.
Use dropsets sparingly. Dropsets are intense and they require caution and common sense. If you use them all the time, you’ll quickly be burning out and overtraining. A great way to use dropsets is a 3:1 method. Perform three straight sets of an exercise followed by one dropset.

Top 5 Reasons To Hire An Indianapolis Private Investigator
By: Bryan Corns
From missing loved ones to marriages gone wrong, there are a number of reasons why one should hire the services of a qualified private investigator. Don’t make the mistake of trying to do this work yourself! Here are the top five reasons why you should hire a private investigator, sometimes referred to as a private detective:
1. Avoid Danger. By putting yourself in the position of a private investigator, you are exposed to danger. This is because you are unlikely to know how to master the art of surveillance or counter-surveillance – a sure way to get caught early in the investigation. Secondly, the subject you are following may realize your presence and may respond with violent behavior. Hiring the services of a private investigator is the most sensible solution, as he or she is specially trained in the art of undercover and surveillance work. 2. Skill and Experience. It is likely that your skills will not match those of a good private investigator. Although the job may look quite easy on television, private investigation is a real art form that requires the utmost dedication and training. Private investigation is much more than simply following a car and taking photographs. Additionally, private investigators need to know how to use overt and covert cameras to their ultimate advantage; install and download GPS tracking devices; use trace mail systems; use the Internet to obtain information; and most importantly, undertake threat assessments and risk management profiles. They also must think many steps ahead in regards to the investigation, and be versatile enough to adapt to various situations during the course of the surveillance. 3. The Art of Investigation. The work involved with any investigation is not simply asking a lot of questions. Although interviewing is a crucial skill for a private investigator to have, more importantly is the manner in which the private investigator asks these questions. For instance, a private investigator may use different probing techniques, or ask certain open-ended questions that will provide leads and answers. Several investigations of today require knowledge of forensic accounting, or, in other words, following a paper trail and discovering the stages of a fraudulent transaction. 4. Knowing the Law. A professional private investigator is highly familiar with laws and abiding by them. He or she will know the proper way to gather evidence for possible court proceedings, and will never take the risk of losing evidence or disregarding court evidence rules. Police and properly registered private investigators are also the only people that are exempt and allowed to follow individuals and record their movements. 5. Time and Evidence. As we can all imagine, the time it takes to do the work as a private investigator is considerable. Private investigation is a full time job, and unless you are willing to devote that much time to it, it is very likely you would be able to adequately handle all of the obligations necessary for carrying out the investigation. And even if you did spend an enormous amount of time on the project, you may come to find out that it was wasted if none of the evidence you gathered is admissible in court. The money you would then have to pay for a lawyer could have been invested wisely into the services of a professional private investigator.

Henry Wright On "Hyper Faith" Part 1 There is an old debate over popular teaching that is rampant in much of the church today and this teaching is more deceptive than you can believe. In spite of the faith they profess, the churches that practice Ultimate Faith Receiving are filled with all manner of sin (unrighteousness) and disease. They confess the Word and profess their faith but do not cleanse themselves of the filthiness of the flesh and body so their faith can manifest the Word they confess. 2 Cor 7:1 The crux of "believing and receiving" is conditional to our obedience to God's Word, not just the hearing and confession of it. For example: Deut. 28:1-2 "And it shall come to pass (a prophetic promise from God, which is the ultimate "faith receiving") then it says, "IF", which is the fulcrum condition so receiving can (or should I say is) conditional on the next part of this equation..."if you will hear God's commandments (Word) and do God's commandments, THEN". (the fruit of the "if" is the "then") "then all of these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you." According to that scripture, the blessings appear to be conditional ... or certainly can be. From my experience (except when God will have mercy on whom He shall have mercy, without regard to conditions) the blessings are conditional to being not just a "hearer" but also a "doer" of the Word. The New Testament echoes this theme; you are to be a doer of the Word, not just a hearer only. To say The Ultimate Faith message is not working because the people who are not receiving are just "believing a lie", is more evidence for teaching the commandments of God (His Word) so that God's people can become doers of the Word in how they think, speak and act. God honors His Word first, not just Faith. Trying to have Faith without the Word to produce proper results is contradictory to this scripture: "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." Rom 10:17 Part 2 can be found at http://BeInHealth.com Henry W. Wright is the president and founder of Be in Health Global, located in Thomaston, Georgia. He was exposed to the power of spiritual healing at an early age when his mother was miraculously cured of terminal cancer and a fatal tumor that was wrapped around her jugular vein. He offers biblical teaching on healing at http://BeInHealth.com
An electronic calling card of sorts, your email address makes a subtle, but lasting impression upon would-be clients and peers. If you’re doing business online and trading information via email, your choice of an address can help others perceive you as a responsible entity with whom they can reliably do business. No, SlickDaddy99@GenericHostingService.com simply isn’t going to cut it.
With that in mind, adhering to the following professional email address guidelines will get you a lot more traction in this regard.
Employing a generic email domain suffix is one of the fastest ways to say, “I’m running a fly-by-night operation on the cheap.” While there was a time when a custom domain was a “nice-to-have,” it is now a “must.” Wholly indicative of your professionalism, experience and dedication, you simply have to have a branded mail address in today’s business environment.
Beyond that though, spam filters tend to weed out nonspecific domain names. This can prevent your messages from reaching those with whom you need to conduct business. What’s more, because your email address appears everywhere you send a message, it’s one of the least expensive ways to generate marketing impressions.
Nicknames Are Tacky—Avoid Them
If you had to guess, what would you say SlickDaddy99’s interests are? Either nobody knows, or nobody wants to know. And that’s bad for business.
Why leave your reputation open to interpretation? Always go with your name. This lets your colleagues know the message is from you right away.
Within that though, the exact format you choose will be predicated by a number of factors. If your organization is large, you’ll likely need to include full first and last names to differentiate between the five different Seans you employ or the three Janes you have on staff. This is also a good way to make a smaller organization look larger.
Use Special Addresses for Various Functions
Addresses such as CustomerService@MyCompany.com, Information@MyCompany.Com and Sales@MyCompany.com, can be used to route messages to specific areas of the business, while maintaining the anonymity of key people—until they want to disclose their direct addresses.
In addition to being a useful security measure, this gives you the capability of having a single message sent to several people at once in any given department. Sales messages can go to your sales managers, Customer Service messages can go to your customer service managers as well as you so you can keep an eye on things and so on.
Keeping these professional email address guidelines in mind when you’re establishing your communications protocols will improve the image of your business and help it run more efficiently. With domains more affordable than ever and scams proliferating at an ever-increasing rate, using your own domain name is no longer an option, it’s standard operating procedure.
If you don’t have a profession email set up, visit Yahoo Small Business to get yours today! You can now get a free professional email account, and free one page website, when you register a domain name. So there’s no longer any reason to use a generic address for your small business.
Over 100 videos. Created on the mat, refined through competition, and structured with the student in mind.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a VERY interesting martial arts discipline. Learning it… can also be interesting (and highly frustrating). The learning often jumps around quite a lot. As such, finding structure can be difficult. I like to make the analogy that the different martial arts styles are like 10,000 piece puzzles. Each puzzle creates a different picture. When you train in Kung-Fu, you tend to get puzzle piece number one on your first day. On your second day, you get puzzle piece number two, and so on. The same holds true for Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Japanese Jujutsu, Aikido, and most of the other martial arts. However, with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you are likely to get puzzle piece number one on your first day, puzzle piece number forty-eight on your second day, and puzzle piece number eight hundred fourteen on your third day. This is why the Structured Learning Advancement Program (SLAP) for BJJ was created.
SLAP BJJ provides the student with an unparalleled level of structure and guides him or her through the learning process in a step-by-step fashion. I was thirty years old when I started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), and, as a traditional martial artist with black belts in several different styles, I knew what structured learning should look like. (I’ve also worked as coordinator of a college program for aspiring law enforcement professionals, and piecing together primary and secondary competency areas as they relate to learning was something I knew how to do.)
So, with a background in the martial arts and higher education, I began my BJJ training as a white belt in the system. I took copious notes during every step of the journey from white belt to black belt… for TEN YEARS! Then, I structured those notes. That’s where this curriculum comes from. Now, as a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this curriculum is the compilation of everything that I had to learn at each belt level prior to advancement, and it’s the curriculum that I teach to my students. It’s notable that, prior to being given rank advancement in BJJ, I had won first place at each belt level in various tournaments before I was promoted to the next belt level.
Basically, I KNOW THIS CURRICULUM WORKS!
As an International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) certified black belt instructor, my rank has been tournament tested at every level from white belt onward, and, as a black belt, I continue to compete at the local, national, and world levels. Overall, this course aims to provide a level of structure that is rarely seen in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It aims to help the student progress through primary and secondary competencies along the path to continued educational success.
BJJ has three basic components: positions, transitions, and submissions. This curriculum guides the student through those areas in an articulate fashion that helps to heighten the student’s ability to retain and utilize what is taught. Let me be straight; there is no substitute for mat time! You must have it, and you need quality instruction (preferably from an academy that is IBJJF approved, like mine is). With that said, the online instructional videos that compose this curriculum can help you, no matter your belt rank, to understand and advance your knowledge.
The requirements in BJJ are very strict, and it usually takes about ten years to go from white belt to black belt. (There are over 100 techniques in the white to blue belt curriculum, alone! These techniques are listed and you can learn them in order, or you can watch individual videos ahead or behind of the suggested order.) Every student who purchases access to the online instructional videos can download a copy of the curriculum for the belt level purchased. You can also purchase the textbooks that go along with the curriculum, Move-A-Day BJJ: A Daily Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Desktop Reference, and Brazilian Jiu-JItsu: Surviving the Journey to Black Belt in either e-book or hard copy format. My desire is to give you the ultimate experience in structured learning for BJJ.
