Between tonight and tomorrow I "get" to:

-write a paper (without data by the way) to present at the International FE Software Congress (ok, that's not the name, but NAFEMS wouldn't mean anything to you guys)

-write a 200 word company overview for the same

-write a 150 word bio for NAFEMS, Automotive Body Congress and the Automotive Testing Expo

-write a presentation outline for the ABC and ATE

-write my resume

And yep, I decided I needed to get drunk. I can't say nice things about myself without alcohol. I come up with nothing. Hopefully tonight I come up with a lot, lol.

Sounds like lots of fun!

Sucks ass. Resume first. I fucking hate tooting my own horn. I'm a huge fan of one page resume's and mine is fucking 5. I need to seriously reduce it. FUCK!

5 pages holy shit! Most people don't want more than on page or so I have been told.

I just got an SQL sight error.

I thought that SQL was not used here.

I figured, but felt it was funny seeing that as an error.

Exactly, SQL is an error.

Have any of you guys ever experimented with Reverse Pyramid training? Basically, after your warm up you start off with multiple reps of your heaviest weight, then you decrease the weight and add reps for 2 or 3 sets with a good break in between.

Yea they are commonly done to failure and called widowmakers.

That's how I do my chins and deads.

Per Mr. Leangains recommendation?

Pretty much.

On the chins I don't do a warm up set as I've already done other warm ups, and feel comfortable.

52.5lbs x 4 chins

37.5lbs x 6 chins

22.5lbs x 7 chins

rope chin-ups 8

Then deads:

90 +bar x4

105 +bar x4

120 +bar x4

150 +bar x3

135 +bar x4

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The U.S. government said it will stop issuing permits for new nuclear power plants and license extensions for existing facilities until it resolves issues around storing radioactive waste.

The government's main watchdog, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, believes that current storage plans are safe and achievable. But a federal court said that the NRC didn't detail what the environmental consequences would be if the agency is wrong.

"We are now considering all available options for resolving the waste issue," the five-member NRC said in a ruling earlier this week. "But, in recognition of our duties under the law, we will not issue [reactor] licenses until the court's remand is appropriately addressed."

There are 14 reactors awaiting license renewals at the NRC, and an additional 16 reactors awaiting permits for new construction.

Ultimately, it'll be up to lawmakers to find a solution to long-term nuclear waste storage, but their track record on the issue hasn't been good. Nuclear waste disposal has been a daunting political question that is still unanswered after decades of study.

But the NRC is expected to do more research around what would happen if a long-term waste storage facility isn't built. It will also conduct more research into the environmental impact if waste can't safely be stored on-site at nuclear plants, where it's currently stored.

Analysts feel the agency can conduct its research relatively quickly without having a major impact on nuclear plants currently seeking license extensions or utilities seeking permission to build new reactors.

"We believe that the NRC will have sufficient time to complete its waste confidence and temporary storage fixes well ahead of license expirations," Christine Tezak, an analyst at ClearView Energy Partners, wrote in a research note Wednesday.

But nuclear watchdog groups -- which don't agree with the NRC's assertion that the waste is currently safely stored -- are hoping the new review will provide an opportunity to push for stricter standards at nuclear power plants.

There are currently 104 operating nuclear reactors at 64 plants across the country. Half are over 30 years old.

'"The court is ordering them to do this analysis that should have been done a long time ago," said Edwin Lyman, a senior scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists. "The more information there is, the more ammunition there is to make changes to the safety regulations."

In particular, UCS and others want less of the waste to be stored in pools of water, which they believe are vulnerable to sudden draining and possible meltdown, and more of it to go into secured concrete bunkers known as dry-cask storage.

That's a good TV series.

What sort of specialty? I pretty much know the whole design team at Polaris and Arctic Cat and the NVH team at Bombadier. A few people at Yamaha, but the Japs really fuck with what they can do locally.

Sean....the man with connections everywhere.

J

Only engineering connections.

My focus was on engines and thermodynamics.

Core for my Master's was Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Statistics.

Focused classes were Combustion Science, Internal Combustion Engines (undergrad), and Automotive Engineering (undergrad).

Extra classes were Advanced Product Design and Energy Management in Commercial Buildings .

Working for Polaris has always been a dream of mine.

Watch what they are hiring for and I can help you craft the right in and perhaps even grab someone depending on where/what it is. Most likely you'd want to only look at things in their Wyoming, MN facility as Roseau isn't really near ANYTHING.

Down to 3 and is about to be roughly submitted. And yes, I'd prefer one or two sided max but that ain't gonna fly for this position.

Have any of you guys ever experimented with Reverse Pyramid training? Basically, after your warm up you start off with multiple reps of your heaviest weight, then you decrease the weight and add reps for 2 or 3 sets with a good break in between.

If you add a warm up to that it's a pyramid. Until I can find different information the best way to fully activate muscles is to warm up with medium light weight doing 1-2 reps.Then lift with 6-8 reps to failuredrop weight do 6-8 reps to failuredrop weight do 6-8 reps to failureIf you want to do some kind of "afterburn" then I say go for it. but if you are not in the 6-8 rep range and not going to failure you are robbing yourself of gains you could have.That may not be the ideal work out for some sports etc etc But if you want to develop muscles for growth and do so steadily and be able to train that body part once a week it's about the best you can find. I have helped 6 people train and that method has showed improvement on physique on all of them.I would follow that work out scheme for all major body parts and compound movement. I could do 10-12 different exercize for my chest with that pattern.... sometimes subtracting the warm up if I feel I'm pumped and limber enough. Yes I was able to go to failure each set, and I could hammer it all in under an hour.I was 20 then and much more willing and able.

I'm really trying to develop an entirely new workout strategy. As Stefan mentioned to me at one point previously I was working out too much last semester and not resting enough. I think that I was trying to overcome my lack of rest by giving my body plenty of calories which resulted in no weight loss.

Currently, I worked on the all body weight strategy presented by Primal Blueprint. The one weird problem with it for me is it is almost so simple that I almost don't take it seriously. Also the "lifting" portion consist of a workout I'm terrible at (Pull ups) a workout I've never been to great at (Pushups) the workout that has caused me problems (Squats) and the workout that I'm meh at (Planks). which results in my heart rate being at cardio levels for 30 minutes, a lot of grumbled cussing and the possibility of death for anyone who speaks to me.

The movement portion, sprints and 2.5 hours of low intensity cardio aren't that bad. Just remembering to get them in is hard.

With the start of the new semester I want to have a schedule to stick to so that I know I'm in the gym 3 days a week for lifting and I sprint this one day, and maybe have a long walk/run day scheduled for the pup. I also want to continue developing my body weight workouts while getting back into bench, squat, deadlift etc...
