What Kind Of Education Did George Crum Have

turkey and mashed potatoes

Hello people

an eventful November draws to a close, and I hope you are very happy already just like me on the most beautiful season. But before CHRISTMAS comes, turns everything in America around Thanksgiving.

On the last Thursday in November, eating the traditional turkey dinner with mashed potatoes as part of the family. This all takes place in memory of the Pilgrims and the Indians, would have survived without the Pilgrims nearly 450 years before the winter hardly. So much for the traditional part of the festival. From my team, actually almost all Americans, have flown home to spend the holidays with their families. Ous Mellouli I was invited to be home to put together to celebrate with other foreigners. There was also a traditional meal with a giant bird, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and Co. was funny only that among the ten people who had gathered at the table to mark the typical American and Canadian festival, no American was J .

Well, the holiday is nice, but for me it was now little more than an ordinary meal. But the evening with the other's right a lot of fun, and I've still got me, that Ou has invited me, otherwise I would have the day in my room look at the films spent.

Otherwise I got the break in handy. I had only the first two days of the week since school and not very much. After Thanksgiving is always followed by the "black friday" where you should go shopping because the stores always offer very good discounts. The bargain And I did not miss and I'm gone off. What I noticed in the city and in the shops, is the abrupt transition between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Immediately after the party was heard only around Christmas and saw Christmas trees and decorations.

Actually it was for the first semester. I will only go to the university by two to write exams, and then I'm done. Wow, when I think about it, that was really going super fast. And now it will be only seven more. I'm curious how quickly pass.

On Tuesday morning I begin the journey to Columbus. We will be a mega-sized team. Actually there is half the airplane from USC swimmers and their carers. I'm curious how it is with such a large team to travel and swim at the Nationals. Mainz my club, the SSV Undine have, at the national level in recent years, really only Marc-Oliver Stone, my coach Nikolai Evseev and I represented.

I in the 100 and 200 yard freestyle and 200 yard positions will go to the start. In addition probably come 4x50, 4x100 and 4x200 yards freestyle relay teams. I see myself now, I'll sit next Sunday in the plane and tell you about the competition.

the way, we are in Columbus have a time difference of three hours to Los Angeles. It's awesome, when you fly to the national championships for six hours and then still has time shift, although it is still in the same country.

is good for me and my mobile phone bill, then I'm still at home and can use my phone normally.

Greetings from LA

When Will The Chevrolet Tahoe Change Body Styles

first time the 100-pound mark surpassed

Hi,
in LA and it can sometimes be cold. Of course you laugh determined by the word "cold" but there were at least 10 degrees Celsius to 23, clock, and on Sunday it was the day not more than 16 degrees. Without a proper jacket can even freeze it quickly. Well yes, but compared to Columbus (Ohio), where there are over next week, the Nationals, it is still quite pleasant, after all its on the not very far from the Canadian border.

In view of our high point this year we already went down with the training load, or have adapted our work on land and in water the next competition. On Wednesday, the maximum bench press was on the plan. 230 American pounds are equal to 104.5 kg, which means that I have pressed the first time over the 100-pound mark and topped my personal best by 6.5 kilograms. Earlier this week we trained on the long course, so I finally was able to compare my performance with the time from home. It was pretty neat that I'm swimming, and I hope that my form will improve in the coming week and a half yet.

My first semester is now already approaching its end. I actually write two exams and probably needs to make one more housework. The lecture itself, I will visit this week for the last time this year that have closed from Wednesday to Friday, the universities in the U.S. for Thanksgiving and we fly over next week already on the Tuesday after Columbus and then to the end of the week will remain.

What will I do on Thanksgiving, I do not know. Most go fly to / from home to spend the festival with their families. We even have free training on Thursday, which personally for me is a sign of the importance of this festival in the United States. I think I will still jump into the water, only feeling of the water because, after all, we must also be so professional. I am now trying my body as much rest as possible to give, so I have not done much at the weekend, looked out of me, "Harry Potter 7" in the cinema. It's all funny because the actors all have a British accent and this differs significantly from the U.S.. Actually, I also like the British more.

that I once again train with my team does not mean that I no longer swim together with the pros. On Saturday, for example, the training was really cool and has a lot of fun. All have trained together, college and professional team. We were in different Divided groups that match their main line or situation, and then swam quickly. This time I had the honor to swim with this year's World Cup overall champion Thiago Pereira a position series. It was really very much fun, and if the coach is still an attempt to Pusch breaks by listing the titles of Thiago, motivates one because we want to present yourself well, after all. I can wait even after the college season to train with the professionals and get ready for the German Championships in the summer.

It is now item 20 clock on Sunday evening, my homework is done, and I still have a little time for me. Very likely I will now go over to the other room, and we become our new favorite game "Call of Duty: Black Ops" play until I have to then go to sleep.

I greet you from the U.S. and it can hardly be expected even in a month to be back in Mainz.

Add Cocoa Powder To Sun Warrior

My first race in the USA

Hello,

after three months in Los Angeles I sign still, as promised, every Monday and reports from my stay in the United States. I start the post with good news: I got this week for "eligible" explained! That means I can again with my College team training, and was allowed to swim the races on Friday and Saturday.

did not do anything you want. In "Duel Meet" against Arizona opponents have been strong, and ultimately trumps also deserved to win. But there is no shame in losing to a team that had obviously prepared for this fight and the training had gone down a bit and helped all of a "Jammer" during swimming. We got from our coach instructed to only swim in trunks, so we had a competitive disadvantage. There were many close decisions which failed, unfortunately, always against us. If one applies the few tenths of a second to the much better Swimwear from Arizona, we would have under the same conditions had a very good chance of the match to choose us.

But now to my times:

200 freestyle: 1:38,64

100 freestyle: 45.12

400 layers: 3:59,67

4x50 Freestyle Relay: 20.7 (flying start)

I must admit that I am a little disappointed with my results. Because of the power and the times in practice I had expected to swim faster. I do not want to look for excuses, but I still had the problem that we have made hardly a turn right and therefore almost always had to accelerate after the turn of zero, instead of using the momentum of the kick and to save power.

That is one thing that I definitely get a grip must be up to the U.S. Nationals. Nevertheless, I am really glad that I could swim that race. I was able to win many informative and important information for me and my next race. This will help me build a better base for the Nationals. In addition, I now have official times on the train yard. This is a concrete basis on which I will find my way now in practice and competition.

On Saturday we went to the Arizona State University. This event, we have clearly dominated.

My times:

100 breast: 58.02

100 freestyle: 46.45

200 layers: 1:51,38

4x100 Freestyle Relay: 44.8 (with a flying start)

In general, I find that the events are very intense. Such an event lasts exactly two and a half hours with 2x15 minute break. That is much less break than I'm used to my previous competitions. One can compare such "Duel Meets with the German Team Championship: You make a lot of fun, given that the overall result the team and not about the performance of individual athletes.

these events I will post an intensive training under competition conditions (for more, it was not) and see it as good preparation for the U.S. Nationals.

From the German Short Course Championships, held last weekend in Wuppertal, I have followed as much as possible via live stream on the DSV-side. Due to the time difference but I could look at a few races, the other results I got from the log. I have to say there were some great results with which we must not hide in the upcoming international competitions. I press my colleagues for the European and World Championships fingers crossed and hope that they will not sell Germany to the value. saw

interview with Vitali Klitschko

while looking around I found a nice interview with Vitali Klitschko, where he talks about his family and David Haye.

Let Sister Watch You Wank

The Star Spangled Banner before every competition

Hello friends,

I have just the movie Definance "looked at. One, I think, very good and emotional film, based on a true story.

Sunday was for me an absolute chill day. I left my room or my bed only to eat J . Sometimes I need as days where I just lay around and do all my business using my laptop. I have taken too much time with my loved ones to make phone calls in Germany. As you can infer from my daily routine, the weather was not fantastic today in LA J . But that was an exception this week, otherwise it was always around 30 degrees Celsius and sunny.

When I think back on Monday, I realize is how incredibly fast this week flew by. I can still remember that after the first two days have been pretty flat. Since I have the training with Markus Rogan (Austria) and Dominik Meichtry (Switzerland) felt very much in the bone. Good thing is free on Wednesday afternoon and I also found time for a very good massage.

went in the second half of the week, then continued intense, but the look on a Friday and the great weather leaves a blind eye to fatigue.

This week, it was then also found: Thiago Pereira won the overall title of the Arena World Cup and therefore the prize money of 100,000 dollars! Congratulations on this from me. Thiago has shown that you can win the World Cup with lines such as 100, 200 and 400 layers. (Normally, gain swim float, back or chest sprint distances, because it is easier there to gain more points). Due to the fact that he had traveled in the past six weeks in the world to swim the individual World Cup, I could see him not as good as all the others learn from my team. I am interesting to see what he tells all when he comes back.

This weekend was the last "Recruit-Weekend". We already have two swimmers who back next year come to us. The others have not yet chosen a college.

At this point I would like to say again the young swimmers in Germany: If you conclude your school next year and still does not know what you shall do next, whether directly to the university, civil service or armed forces, police or what However the other options are so you can contact me any time if you want to know more about a scholarship in the United States. Just write me a comment under this post or write me in Facebook or Twitter. I remember that I had 1000 questions on this subject and am glad I had someone who could answer me.

I'm at the end of the week out of my coach, that he had phoned around a bit and that I'm probably next week, reopened to college sports. ie, I can race on the attend USC against Arizona, can help my team to win the duel and have a little health check before the U.S. Nationals.

weekend was a high diving competition in the outdoor pool, and what I noticed (even before, but now it is I again realized) that before each sporting event, the American national anthem is played . I think the Europeans have some difficulty understanding this, but we already know the Yanks J .

As mentioned last week, will take place in the next few days the German Short Course Championships. I wish everyone good luck and that they achieve their goals. I will follow the competitions on the web.

Greetings from California

Ovulation Thigh Leg Cramp

Hellas, ouzo and a seminar

It's been a while since my last entry so it is time to report what happened since everything is. Yes, there was some new crazy ideas, take part in particular one, and a creative writing seminar in the Peloponnese!

is also the story at least as crazy as I ever came out. OK you have to say beforehand, since the I started to travel, my diary was always there. Even then, on the Camino de Santiago in Spain and up to my last tour in the summer, and it will be on all future tours. I am also fascinated by language in the form of books since my earliest childhood, and so it was only a matter of time before I would spend sometime the courage and confidence to find out if in me a talent, a gift puts something to get exciting and creative on a white sheet?
And this opportunity came to me then, met in the form of an email from a friend that I made last year as a result of joint travel plans. It was only a "How are you, what about" email, We had not heard a few months of each other, but also in the mail was a link from a seminar house in the Peloponnese, just made to the Mani, where these friends named Barbara spent the last winter.
And since I had to do at this time no better anyway waiting for what happens next, clicked that "inspiration" for I continue to get plans on this link and then I looked at the homepage. In the pictures could be seen already, what a wonderful place that dominant, in the olive groves, with stunning sea views and advanced headland, and quietly I beneidetete a little Barbara, she spent last winter there. When I clicked on then the dates for the seminars, I came to a standstill, no wonder ins! On 23 September was held for two weeks, a seminar with a famous writer, with the promising title "Writing as the gods." After I had read the seminar brochure to an end, I was like elektritisiert. That might be a chance to write something yourself to find the necessary techniques and approaches to Kreativiät own, and especially what they have learned to use the inspiration for my future travels, writing and traveling, perhaps a prospect for a new professional life !

Ja es bedarfte noch ein wenig des Nachdenkens, zwei Nächte slept over it for me to decide to participate, even though it was very short notice. By email first had been in contact with the director, promptly obtain a commitment, yes I could still join them, booked a flight and about a week later I was sitting on the flight to Kalamata, the closest major city from the place where took place the seminar.
It was exciting, exhausting, relaxing, enlightening, changing, inspiring, amazing, oh the list could continue for long. We were a motley crew of 12 different people and ages, I am the youngest, and one of two men, all else women. They quickly got to know, I could interesting conversations including a philosopher, got positive feedback on my written texts, tips and experiences from the publishing business and author.
short, have two weeks paid off in many ways, we have arrived as strangers and have heartily adopted as good friends. I am personally flown with a more than positive feeling back to Germany, to a sense have something that I had not yet on the way, and I mean nothing you can pack into a backpack! Rounding

was the whole day by the sunny weather, magnificent views, the hours at sea, a day trip to Messenia under the direction a German archaeologist, the warm starry nights, good food and wine, and many other small and big joys of life in Greece.

Helau from LA!

It is Sunday, 20.50 clock, I sit in my room and am what I am going to tell you about the last week.

There's not really any event, I would like to stress, so I just tell a little of everything.

Scholastically's running at me just very good. I do all my assignments and write the work without getting much effort have. I have now chosen my courses for next semester. "The Science of Human Performance", "America, the Frontier, and New York "," Writing "and" Introduction to Television and Video "My next four courses for the spring semester will be. It pleases me my schedule very well, as I have, for example, no classes on Thursday and after the second training. (That reminds me that my schedule so I just post online could, so that my entire week in review has).

The Cinema School is perhaps the best in the world, it was George Lucas and Steven Spielberg with 500 sponsored millions of dollars, and as I can imagine to do anything in that direction, I opted for the latter course. I hope I can give to me by a more precise idea of the industry.

As expected, I have never heard of the NCAA men. This means I swim still still together with the Pofis instead to train with the college team, and allowed to start I'm still not. Training with the pros gives me more fun because I will be required of the people correctly. Only after the training, I realize then that I properly in the previous two hours worked with.

But nevertheless puts the duel with Arizona closer (12/13. November), and this is my only opportunity to contest a race before I then of the U.S. National 2. to 4 December travel. So would not that only in the interest of my team, but also in my personal interest that my case, when the NCAA placed quickly across the stage.

weekend in Berlin has halted the Arena World Cup . I was super happy swam there, because I think that's a great event and the swimming pool that is reduced by half, is just great. Of course I would have liked to see my good friends who were there this weekend, all gathered. People, I hereby greet you, and can not wait, once again to spend time with you.

Incidentally, today is Halloween! Halloween is more popular in America as hard here in Germany. There are extra large stores that sell only masks, costumes, makeup and all the little things imaginable. There are all over costume parties, and the streets you only see people dressed up. While the ingenuity of the costumes is no limit. I just really always want to dress on Halloween rather scary, but this is probably not the case. Creepy is indeed popular, but there are also many costumes, as you would see in our Mainzer Fastnacht.

In this sense, an anticipated Helau from LA,

your Dima
