Kid Rock New Cd First Kiss

Kid Rock's 'First Kiss' review: Words fail the country rocker

By TODD STARR

REVIEW
Even Kid Rock didn't like his last album, 2012's "Rebel Soul."

"That was a bad album," he told Rolling Stone. "I didn't spend enough time on it. So this one is more pressure."

So you'd think that he'd fix that problem in time for his new album, "First Kiss" (Warner Bros.), right? Of course not.

gofundme.com/nt629s I need help with HCV and MRSA the MRSA is in my blood and the HCV is destroying my liver so my time is short

MRSA The truth

MRSA is the abbreviation for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus is a group of bacteria, familiarly known as Staph (pronounced "staff"), that can cause a multitude of diseases as a result of infection of various tissues of the body. Distribution of S. aureus is worldwide, and therefore many people have this bacteria in their bodies meaning they are carriers or "colonized." However, in 1959, methicillin, an antibiotic closely related to penicillin, was introduced to treat Staphylococcus and other bacterial infections. Within one to two years, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (S. aureus) started to be isolated that were resistant to methicillin. These S. aureus bacteria were then termed methicillin-resistant. MRSA usually show resistance to many antibiotics.

Because MRSA is so antibiotic resistant, it is termed a "superbug" by some investigators. This superbug is a variation of an already recognized human pathogen, S. aureus, gram-positive bacteria that occur in grape-like clusters termed cocci. The bacteria are usually found in the human armpit, groin, nose (most frequently), and throat. Fortunately, only a few people are colonized by MRSA, usually in the nose, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In the majority of cases, the colonizing bacteria do not cause disease. However, damage to the skin or other injury may allow the bacteria to overcome the natural protective mechanisms of the body and lead to infection; because of its ability to destroy skin, it is also one of the types of bacteria that has been termed a "flesh-eating bacterium."

MRSA are not VRE organisms (VRE means vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus species). Enterococci are bacteria that occur in the intestine. However, a strain of MRSA can be resistant to the antibiotic vancomycin (Lyphocin, Vancocin HCl, Vancocin HCl Pulvules) and these strains are termed VRSA (vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Plasmids (extra-chromosomal genetic material) that code for antibiotic resistance can be transferred between these two bacterial types and other types of bacteria such as Escherichia (E. coli). Also, the lay press has occasionally labeled MRSA as a virus. This is a mistake, but people still report it from time to time. Don't be confused if the term MRSA virus reappears, as it will be corrected in most instances.

Even without antibiotic resistance, S. aureus has effective means to cause infections. Bacterial strains of S. aureus can produce proteolytic enzymes (enzymes that break down proteins resulting in pus production), enterotoxins (proteins that cause vomiting, diarrhea and in some cases, shock), exfoliative toxin (a protein causing skin disruption, blisters), and exotoxin TSST-1 (a protein that can cause toxic shock syndrome). Adding antibiotic resistance to this long list of pathogenic mechanisms (ways to cause infection) makes MRSA a formidable superbug.

Manny Pacquiao reveals what his family think about him fighting Floyd Mayweather
Manny Pacquiao tells Todd Starr about the importance of this fight with Mayweather
IN an exclusive interview, world champion Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao has told Todd Starr that it is his eldest children who are most excited about his upcoming bout with Floyd Mayweather, saying that they would be on the “front row” at the Las Vegas showdown.

“My son and my daughter, they really wanted this fight to happen…Three years ago [they said] ‘Daddy, I want you to fight Mayweather. I want you to fight Mayweather.’ I said, ‘Why? It’s not my fault. He doesn’t want to fight.’ And now finally now it finally happened. They really, really want to watch the fight.”

Speaking to Todd Starr, the 36 year-old Pacquiao acknowledged the momentous nature of the clash.

“I can say [this will be] one of the most important fights in my career,” he said, speaking from his home in Manila. “[it] has been five years in the making…and finally it’s happening. I think the fans deserve it.”

It’s estimated that the May 2 bout will break all financial records in the history of professional boxing. Pacquiao himself is believed to be earning around $80 million for the fight.

Asked how the whopping paycheck makes him feel, Pacquiao replied “I feel blessed and I owe a lot to the fans. First to God but also the fans because of their support

Despite being a multi-millionaire and superstar, Pacquiao says he and his wife are trying to teach their children tappreciate the life of comfort they now enjoy. To prove the point, he says he transferred his children from an academy for international students to a school with no air conditioning.

“I want them to experience, so they can meet hungry families…So they will not mistreat other people or treat other people different.”

Shooter Jennings The Gunslinger

"The Gunslinger"

Stepped off of the train in this town
may look kind of strange, kind of rough all around
You don't know what I've been through
But you'd better not stare better watch your mouth boy
Don't be fool! No need to be scared,
but you need to be aware you think you own this town, huh,
I don't care the emperors they bear,
I'm just looking for some brothers in arms
and the woman with the long dark hair.

But don't call me an outlaw no,
I'm a motherfucking gunslinger
You wanna run your mouth all day long
You'd better keep your eye
on my motherfucking trigger finger
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?

Some people think they know me
Think they can predict me,
Think they gotta dis me,
When I'm not around and when I come darking the door,
They get weak in the knees and crumble like a castle to the ground
'Cause they know I ain't taking no shit
I got a woman who left me,
white with a heart of cold stone
When they see the black in my eyes,
they see a man so deep in the red that it chills them to the bone.

I'm just cold as the day is long
and I'm lost in a lonesome song
so you best just move along
Gotta a right to be wrong

Oh, don't call me an outlaw
I'm a motherfucking gunslinger
You wanna run your mouth all day long
You'd better keep your eye
on my motherfucking trigger finger
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?

I'm just cold as the day is long
and I'm lost in a lonesome song
so you best just move along
Gotta a right to be wrong

Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao: The Scientific Verdict
Boxing Science’s Danny Wilson applies a scientific perspective to how Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao train, and he picks a winner
Is it on? Is it off? Will it ever happen? These have been the questions on the lips of boxing fans for the past six years.

Some thought it would never happen, but on Friday 20 February Floyd Mayweather announced the most anticipated fight of the century.

The fight against welterweight rival Manny Pacquiao will happen Saturday May 2 2015.

But now the question beckons, ‘Who will win it?’

We make a prediction based on (speculative) science!

MAYWEATHER AND THE ‘DOGHOUSE’

The Mayweather gym has become one of the most established in the world due to countless media coverage over the past decade.

The doghouse, “hard work, dedication”, “light-work, light-work” and “all-work is easy-work”, have become familiar mantras of the Mayweather gym, but what is the training actually like?

During Kell Brook’s world title camp, our very own Alan Ruddock visited the gym. The gym has a number of talented fighters, and some visiting from around the world. One thing that stands out is the high volume of boxers and the high volume of training they seem to do.

From observation it’s fairly low intensity. However, it becomes high-intensity during sparring, for one reason. The use of 5 min rounds. Particularly from minutes 3 to 5 and as the number of rounds increases.

Here, it is important to make the distinction between an external intensity which you might consider as hand speed, punch force, number of punches etc. And internal intensity which you might consider as the demand placed on the heart and muscles.

From minutes 0 to 3, external intensity might be within normal limits for sparring and the same for internal intensity.

But from 3 to 5 minutes – which is where the perceived benefits over 3 minute rounds are thought to occur, external intensity probably decreases and internal intensity probably increases. This also happens as the number of rounds increases.

SCIENCE BEHIND THE MONEY

This changes the cellular environment that muscle has to function in, influences the way muscles are activated and increases the demand on the cardiovascular system to circulate blood. So, it’s likely that the number and force of punches decreases but the demand on the heart and muscle increases!

Over time, these predominant demands induce adaptations that are more suited to slower, less forceful external actions.

If we also consider the type of long-slow distance night runs that we’ve seen him do on ‘All Access’, you might mistake Mayweather for a 10,000 m or marathon runner.

So, the 5 minute rounds, countless minutes of sparring and long runs might be good to build endurance, mental strength and determination, but these might limit the ability to produce large punch forces and repeated bouts of high intensity activity.

CAN MAYWEATHER STEP UP THE INTENSITY?

Have we seen any evidence of this in Mayweather’s tactical approach recently? When was the last time we saw some explosivity and zip in his performance?

Does this give the Pacqiaou’s high-intensity approach the edge in this massive fight?

PACMAN TO POWER THROUGH?

Pacquiao was one of the first big-name boxers to use Alex Ariza, a strength and conditioning (S&C) coach. Did S&C increase his punching force and increase his intensity?

Not necessarily, as most of the exercises we see in the media are often bodyweight, low external load and isometric movements often performed for long periods of time or for many reps (watch his 10 minute ab routine). These training methods are not associated with improvements in maximal force production and speed.

At Combat Conditioning we typically use heavier external loads for 3-5 reps to increase the amount of force we can produce. See more in the science behind the punch and impulse articles.

Although he seemed to dismantle opponents during this period with Ariza, this might be due to an increased anaerobic and/or aerobic capacity.

In other words, the size of his engine was probably larger than his opponents. To max out an opponent’s engine, he’d use relatively less gas that meant he could control the fight for longer and still have enough spare for bursts of high intensity activity. Whilst his opponent maxed out and eventually fatigued.

Apart from the demolition job on Ricky Hatton, Pacquiao finds success by constantly grinding people down due to his fitness.

THE VERDICT

Our prediction is that Pacquiao will not have the killer punch to knock Mayweather out. But he has the high intensity capacity to either grind him down with near constant pressure or get a points victory.

Oscar de la Hoya has said that it was more of an accumulation of shots that beat him when he faced Pacquiao. On the other hand, because of Mayweathers high volume approach to training (like an endurance athlete) he seems aerobically fit, and combined with his tactical skill is able to fight at his own pace.

Does this mean he will be more focussed on quality of shots than Pacquiao and less likely to make mistakes?

Since everyone is making predictions at the moment here is ours.

The (speculative) science indicates a Mayweather victory on points.

Pacquiao will have to go full out to break Mayweather and push him to intensities he is not accustomed to. This is a dangerous game as Pacquiao could become reckless, especially as the fight progresses and indeed if he’s not landing shots.

Mayweather’s offensive and defensive tactical ability will likely cause Pacquiao to miss or be ineffective. And Mayweather’s fitness will likely preserve the timing and quality of his shots.

Ultimately, the judges will favour Mayweather’s tactical ability, ringsmanship and effectiveness of his punches.

Pacman is known to do strength and conditioning and yet we have chosen the Mayweather who probably hasn’t.

That seems contradictory since we’re S&C coaches!

Although we use scientific principles, we know full well that skill is the real winner and it’s safe to say that Floyd is one of the most talented boxers the world has ever seen.

However as we all know, anything can happen in boxing…
