Pregnancy has a steep learning curve. One day you have no idea what it's like to measure your life in weeks and the next you know what size your baby is each week in comparison to vegetables. One day you have never had an ultrasound and the next you're searching for the "angle of the dangle" or trying to figure out if your gestational sac looked the right size. You suddenly memorized every pregnancy screening and know your HCG levels. It's amazing the amount of information we gather and consume in those nine (wait, when you're pregnant you know it's longer than that!) months. Must have a had a weird pregnancy. I never wore maternity pants, drank that orange stuff (I brought orange juice and had that instead), threw up everyday. And I NEVER made a baby registry. I didn know my hcg levels, never had them tested. I had an ultrasound, and I knew what I was looking at when I did have them. If I were to add anything it would be something completely dumb. I would add pregnancy brain. What else could explain knowing full well your pregnant, and knowing what happens when your pregnant. Yet you complain endlessly about how your bra doesn fit and you can figure out why. Or forever looking for your phone, only to give up and when you get back from the bathroom (for the millionth time) you realize you were sitting on it again. Putting your clothes on only to take them back off again so you can add underwear this time comment > I can really identify with most of these, even though I gave birth three months ago. I hated my first (and only) pair of maternity jeans. They never did fit me right. I did a home birth, so I never had an ultrasound or drank the nasty koolaid. I put together a baby registry just so I have a list of things to save up for. I never really gave it to anyone and never had a baby shower. I never did find a comfortable position or comfy pillows. And I tried not to get my hopes up with the positive pregnancy test since the last one ended in miscarriage. But I CAN identify with the vomiting, need to pee, and the elastic hair tie. With one pregnancy or another (4 kids total), I have had most of those 10 things happen. Can add in the anxiety of hoping your baby will be born on that magic date, only to watch it come and go. I know the dads have anxiety over it too, but they don have a small person in their tummy. Or the feeling of answering the same questions over and over as well as your belly becoming public property (and fending off would be touchers). I love my kids and overall, the pregnancies were good ones, but some of the quirks that go with it are unique How about how you feel your brain cells have disappeared? Forgetting everything even if your memory skills have always been the stuff of legend? Being conscious of everything that goes into your mouth? And of course, how that first cry makes it aaaaaall worth it; the pain, the discomfort, the long labour hours and/or the C section Ojh, and most importantly: for the first time you fully understand that the baby is not a part of your body, but a completely different little person growing inside you. I never wore maternity pants, I had a gastric bypass so I couldn drink the sugary crap, I ate a meal for my test, I had a high risk pregnancy so with the ultrasounds every week I just hoped they tell me my baby was normal, making a baby registry was tedious and barely anyone that bought me something used the registry, I never needed an elastic band for my pants, I didn throw up but I was very nauseous for like the first 5 months and my pregnancy test looked just like the top one course I took teo because I didn believe the first one. I was just telling a friend who is pregnant fm for the first time how wonderful it was! She said people usually complain so I was happy I could offer a positive outlook. I was nauseous the first trimester pretty much all day long, but other than than that loved being pregnant! It is such a miracle and I guess the pregnancy hormones agreed with me! I was fortunate not to have any real complications. I just hope I am able to have another baby, which I hear is a very different experience from the first! Thinking about this I want to add, getting the food you been craving. I don think there was a happier day I my pregnancy thn when my husband got me my special cookies. Or when I finally got orange juice again after months without it. I trying not to cry right now thinking about how wonderful that first sip of orange juice was after so long.

There's going to come a point in every martial arts practitioner's life when they receive a mysterious invitation to an underground karate tournament or "kumite" whether it be hand delivered or sent via Facebook invite that will ultimately test their character and allow them to come away with a prize more valuable than money. So when you do, take it in stride. Stop spin kicking that ceiling fan and go pack a bag because you're heading to sunny Thailand/Hong Kong/Tibet/anywhere with a somewhat lax court system. You don't need pants to win a fight. You know how, in your day to day life, numerous instances come up that make you stop whatever you're doing and think to yourself, "this would be so much easier if I weren't wearing any pants." As it turns out, you're not alone and you'd probably make a terrific martial artist. Jean Claude Van Damme has actually made an entire career out of kicking people in the face with his bare legs. To his credit, this is actually one of the most practical things he does. In many instances, the restrictions of pants would put him at a severe disadvantage, particularly in those aforementioned underground tournaments. After all, no one in the UFC wears pants. But sometimes folks take this concept a little too far. Take, for example, a culminating scene in Showdown in Little Toyko, where Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren prepare to fight off a home invasion in the middle of the night. We'd be less suspicious about the scene if we hadn't already been forced to endure five minutes in a bath house with a room full of grown men in banana hammock/diaper hybrids. Guns are more your enemy than you're actual enemy is your enemy. For a martial arts expert, using such a direct and powerful piece of weaponry as a gun would be nothing short of cheating. It would also rob the audience of the one thing they paid to see: a dude flipping and kicking and spinning and punching and busting people open with his acrobatic ways. It would be like Adele using auto tune or Billy Joel playing the key tar. (All right, one of those things actually sounds amazing, but you get the point.) So, as far as the martial artists in these films are concerned, the only good gun is an empty gun with which to bash a bad guy's nuts in with. (Also: laser guns are pretty sweet.) Jackie Chan has used literally every other inanimate object imaginable to give someone a concussion, but he's never touched a gun. But you can't just not use a gun. It would be inconvenient and really stupid if the hero, with access to more artillery than the NRA, just kind of forgot these things existed or didn't know how to use them. Now, generally, we don't expect to see automatic weapons at the Regional Karate Championships, so Ralph Macchio, this rule doesn't apply to you. At some point, you might even be faced with the perilous decision to either shoot your enemy or to very possibly be killed by attempting a fair fight that you are obscenely outmatched in. But, not to fret, this decision is really just a red herring. And, really, it's all for the better. Look at it this way, if Steven Seagal's character in Out For Justice had used his gun like a regular cop, he never would've had to beat half a biker bar senseless with a cue ball wrapped in a towel. Wesley Snipes' most vampire killingest character would've been called Pistol. Jean Claude Van Damme's character in Street Fighter wouldn't have needed to dropkick M. Bison off a floating control desk thingy to his certain death. Guns tend to impede creativity, is what we're saying. Don't worry, they'll attack you one at a time. Whoever invented the stereotype that Asians are really good at math has obviously never seen a Hong Kong action movie. 100 sufficiently trained kung fu experts + home field advantage = 1 very dead protagonist. Right? In Fist of Fury, where this trope was first popularized, Bruce Lee takes on an entire dojo's worth of Japanese karate students with nothing but a pair of nunchukus and a devil may be terrified of me attitude. The key to his success, however, was not only the melon sized courage he was hiding in those baggy pants, but also the fact that it apparently isn't "hip" to gang up on your opponent. But, come on, are you really trying to tell us that the 99th and 100th guys in that fight, who have now watched 98 of their friends and acquaintances get the teeth slapped out of their mouths with some nunchukus, aren't considering taking a run at him in conjunction? In the many subsequent incarnations of that famous dojo scene including The Matrix Reloaded, where Neo battles hundreds of Agent Smith clones as if he was playing Wii Tennis with his nephews that whole "too honorable to straight up gang stomp the good guy" reasoning doesn't fly. We know this because Agent Smith looks like, talks like, and smells like a dick. (For those of you who didn't catch the Smell O Vision screenings in theaters: your loss.) Seriously, he wouldn't give a shit about honor. The only logical excuse, then? They're afraid of accidentally punching their coworker, which would inevitably lead to a sit down meeting with HR. No matter how you look at it, average looking dudes in crisp, white karate gis or crisp, black suits are the storm troopers of martial arts cinema. Flashback to your training montage when in peril. Imagine yourself in a real, bare knuckle brawl with someone who we've already established is much thicker, taller, and bicep ier than you. Now, the keen among you might think that in a scenario such as this, you'd want to funnel every last drop of your concentration into the act of not being mashed into stew meat. Well, guess what? Every martial arts movie ever made says you're a complete fucking numskull. (Literally, you're not going to be able to feel your brain carriage for days because you totally screwed this up.) Turns out, the key to living the rest of your days with all your limbs intact is in taking a couple minutes to just chill out and have a good think about all the crane kicking techniques your sensei taught you back in the first act. Forget your instincts, which are likely screaming at you with bulging eyes that taking time out of your battle to indulge in a brief Karate 101 review is a terrible idea one that will at least save you the hassle of buying expensive, form fitting clothes in the future, as boneless blobs don't need to shop at Gap all you need to do is relapse to that time your instructor beat your ass with an oak branch in his basement. This is the last of the henchmen; the unstoppable force and immovable object put in place to make sure the boss doesn't have to get his hands dirty. He will be built like a shithouse made out of bricks and the fleshy pulp of his previous opponents.

New Release Raptor 7s,Air Jordan 13 He Got Game 2013 When Tony and I pulled into the University of Southern Maine parking garage, it was torrential rain. Of course I going to do it. Before, quitting never felt like an option. Training pulled me forward like a force beyond my control. But today it was so wet. So wet. It was heavyrain. Not misting. And I knew how much harder that was going to make it. So I stood there entertaining the idea of quitting, but Tony didn let me entertain it for long. He knew I wasn going to back out now. So we walked out in the rain. Before the start, I found my training buddies Wanda and Jen. I also found my long time friend Kate from Bangor, who always my Couch to 5K posts on Facebook when I started running. I ran most of the race with Kate, and a good part of it with Wanda, too. At the start, it was raining heavily. And it continued to rain heavily for the hour after that. It was just SO miserable. Wanda was with me at that point, and I thank god for her, because she did a great job staying positive when I just did notwant to do this. Aside: Whoever you are, Pookie, I loved the signs your friends made for you. One was, OK to poop your pants. No, I don think that was OK, but it inspired interesting conversation. I think if you had to poop your pants on a day like today, most people wouldn notice. We followed someone for awhile who had the shirt that said, difference between a journey and an ordeal is your attitude. Around mile 15, I needed to pee. I can believe I held it in that long. There were no porto potties in sight, so Kate and I peed in the woods. I can tell in the splitsbecauseits the only mile after the first one over 12 minutes. So worth it though. I felt so much lighter afterwards. Later, we saw a sign, the porto potties, not the woods. This, at the time, was hilarious. At the last five and a half miles, Kate dad joined us. I stuck with them a little longer, but couldn pick up the pace. I felt so depleted and I told them to go on without me. Everything burned. It took all my Chi and focus to stay steady through the end. I could not walk after mile 20. Running after walk breaks was incredibly painful, so I just kept running and tried to keep my core engaged and shoulders back and back straight. Raptor 7s On average a golf course measures around 4 to 5 miles, but there is much more than this to this march. You have the walk from the club house to the first hole, hilly terrain and the stray shots that go into the rough. You could be walking as much as 6 to 7 miles for a full 18 hole game. If you intend to walk the course regularly you are going to need a pair of comfortable, lightweight golf shoes. You will mostly need good traction when you are taking a shot, but the traction your shoes provide are also great for walking up hills and on wet slippery surfaces. Your shoes should be waterproof or at the very least water resistant. Waterproof means your shoes will not let in any water, but water resistant shoes will only turn away water for so long until your shoe starts to leak. This feature is very important as many golfers will be playing in wet and dry weather conditions. Even in dry conditions you might still be playing on wet or damp fairways. Many courses sprinkle their fairways and early golfers will have the morning dew. Most waterproof golf shoes come with a one or two year waterproof warranty. Don't settle for anything less than a one year waterproof warranty. You will also need moisture wicking A few years ago moisture wicking was considers a luxury. These days moisture wicking is used in a wide range of products. You can cover yourself head to toe in these materials. You might be thinking why do I need moisture wicking when I have waterproof shoes? And yes waterproof shoes stop water getting in, but what about moisture your feet create? Moisture wicking is a necessity especially for walking golfers. A special material lining draws the sweat/moisture away from your feet and it send it somewhere. We don't exactly know where this moisture goes, but trust us, this concept works very well. They should be as light as possible The heaviest of todays golf shoes are light compared to the standards of yesteryear. The ultralight materials of today are extremely durable. Perfect for walking the golf course. Many manufactures are improving and producing lighter, more durable shoes, they can weight as little as 13.8 ounces. Some are made of fabric or synthetic leather and you can also buy them in real leather.
