Performance. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">I've been sampling hunting apps for usability, accuracy and
reliability. Which is your favorite hunting app?</span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">This free app is called "Hunt Predictor" and can be used for deer, turkey and waterfowl hunts with a 7-day outlook. Using the GPS feature, I've landmarked multiple tree stand locations and can view them with the following map types: terrain, road map, hybrid, satellite. It ranks weather conditions, pressure, temperature, moon illumination, wind speed and direction, the time of year (whether it's peak time or not), and separates the information easily if you are a morning sitter or an evening go-getter. I haven't verified it's accuracy during a season, but so far it doesn't clunky and it has yet to crash - all good things considering it's a free app. </span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span class="userContent">One other bonus: it ranks each category using deer heads so the more deer heads for a particular category, supposedly the better your chances of scoping a buck. If you base your hunts on weather alone, you can look at how many deer heads (1-5) were given for each of the following categories: pressure, weather, temperature. If the moon is your tactical friend, it's also ranked with deer heads (again, 1-5) and gives you a percentage of moon illumination, say 52% one day and 62% the next day. For those of you who don't want to get all fancy with percentages and numbers, just look at the line graph tab draws a line on a graph telling you camo-up or go back to bed.</span><br />
<span class="userContent"><br /></span>
<span class="userContent">Only part I wish was different ( I say this without having verified the accuracy of the app during a hunting season) is better usability when you are switching from one view to the next. I've gotten a little lost inside the app trying to navigate from one particular screen to the next, for example, switching from seeing my tree stand terrain map to the weather predictions for that particular day. </span><br />

If you take care of your hunting gear, it will take care of you. This one here is a gem... the Jewel from <a href="http://mathewsinc.com/" target="_blank">Mathews</a>. And don't underestimate the pink arrows. A portion of <a href="http://www.victoryarchery.com/carbon-arrows/pink-arrow-project/vforce-pink/" target="_blank">every dozen Pink Arrow Project arrows sold</a> goes directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation through the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pinkarrowproject" target="_blank">Pink Arrow Project</a>. Comes in a 30/50 spine (.500") and a 20/40 spine (.600") to fit lighter poundage bows. A great arrow supporting for a fantastic cause.<br />

Ohio, recently featured in the September and October issues of <a href="http://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/featured/nicole-mcclain-diva-deer-hunter-dynamo" target="_blank">Deer & Deer Hunting Magazine</a>.<br />
<br />
In my late teens I was diagnosed with a <a href="http://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/featured/nicole-mcclain-diva-deer-hunter-dynamo?pid=12714" target="_blank">rare form of cancer</a>. With
limited time, I decided I would do things differently, not really
knowing at the time what that meant exactly.<br />
<br />
I became intoxicated by the <a href="http://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/featured/nicole-mcclain-diva-deer-hunter-dynamo" target="_blank">opportunities of the outdoors at a young age</a>, starting with fishing and camping. I’m the youngest of three, the
only girl.<br />
<br />
I spend all of my time raising money for cancer research and <a href="http://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/featured/nicole-mcclain-diva-deer-hunter-dynamo?pid=12708" target="_blank">wounded veterans</a>, being an advocate for the outdoors and hunting, and educating
consumers on a national level with health, wellness and medical
innovations. I’m an outdoor enthusiast dedicating my life to making
good on my talents with the time I have left in this life.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/featured/watch-top-model-loves-deer-hunting-fighting-cancer" target="_blank">Now I share my story</a> to help others struggling with <a href="http://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/featured/nicole-mcclain-diva-deer-hunter-dynamo?pid=12713" target="_blank">cancer and faith</a>,
and work with foundations to raise money for cancer awareness and
protect our hunting freedoms and liberties. Maybe that’s why God
spared my life and I’m still here - God has His plans.<br />
<br />
And I think it’s mighty nice of Him to let me be around long enough to finally <a href="http://mathewsinc.com/my-mathews/user-gallery/story/warrior-survivor-deer-hunter/" target="_blank">shoot a Mathews</a>, a first-class champion for sure."<br />

<span class="userContent">'Train heavier, hunt lighter.' During
'sight-in season,' I recommend increasing the draw weight of your bow.
For example, master shooting on-target at 65 lbs. in the off-season.
About two weeks before opening day, lower your draw weight to <span class="text_exposed_show">60
lbs. and hit the range again to confirm accuracy at the lower weight.
It will not only help you to draw smoothly and execute with better form
and precision, but make it easier to draw when that beauty buck that

According to Wikipedia, an active shooter is defined as "... an armed person who has used deadly physical force on other persons and continues to do so while having unrestricted access to additional victims." The definition includes so-called "school shootings" and "snipers," and have caused a paradigm shift in law enforcement training and tactics. Active shooters rarely expect to escape or even survive these situations. <br />
<br />
During the on-film pursuit, police officers and SWAT moved through unsecured areas, bypassing the dead, wounded and panicked citizens, to approach and contain the perpetrators. On the set of <i>Active Shooter</i>, with portions filmed at the University of Edinboro in Pennsylvania, here's my interview with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/maijapreddy" target="_blank">host Maija Preddy</a> on the last day of filming. <br />

<br />
"Ordeal in Space" is a science fiction short story by Robert A. Heinlein, originally published in Town & Country, May 1948. It is one of Heinlein's Future History stories and appears in his collection, The Green Hills of Earth.<br />
<br />
A spaceship's crewman is called to repair an antenna while his ship is still under spin. He is unable to hold on, despite supreme effort; he drifts away from the ship and has far too much time to ponder things. When he returns to Earth, he is unable to work as a spaceman, and has a fear of heights. After living in fear and sadness for a time, he must face his troubles while rescuing a kitten stuck on the 35th-floor ledge of a building. A good read, or listen.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Fitness Model Nicole McClain Asks You to Know Your Score</span>
<BR>
<BR>
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Heart Month, sponsored by the American Heart Association, is an excellent time to take a closer look at your cholesterol, nutrition and fitness habits. Heart disease is a leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
Here are some tips to help save your life and the lives of your loved ones. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
1. <strong>Stop Smoking.</strong> I've never tried smoking, not even once. I realize this isn't the case for many people and it can be extremely difficult to quit once you've started. Smoking affects your entire cardiovascular system. Combine smoking with obesity, high blood pressure and/or diabetes, and you have a heart recipe disaster. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
2. <strong>Eat Better.</strong> Start looking at food as "Plates of Points" with a budget. It works similarly to your financial budget when you make purchases. "Do I really need to buy this purse? Or should I save my money for an airline ticket to San Francisco?" When reading a menu, it's an opportunity to see each entree as a chance to splurge or save. I ask myself, "Is this something I really want to eat, that I need to have, or should I save these points (calories) for something I really want in the future?" And by future, I mean two days from now or even two weeks from now. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
I don't have a limited number of points per day, which is the key to success. So many diets fail because people "cold turkey diet" and cut out everything they love and the cravings become unbearable to stifle. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
Saving points is easier than you think. Cut out all unnecessary extras (oil) and use a healthier substitute (lemon). Choose grilled instead of fried with a side of steamed broccoli with lemon, hold the butter and oil please. I use water, lemons or pineapple juice when I cook instead of oil and butter. If I'm baking an entree, I'll use <a href="http://www.jarrow.com/product-210" target="_blank">coconut oil</a> to grease the pan but only if absolutely necessary. I look for soups that aren't cream-based and skip pasta completely. When I eat healthier and cut out the unnecessary calories, I don't feel guilty "spending more points" when I really want a slice of key lime pie once in a while. I can eat salads and vegetables any hour of the day, add spices to my grilled chicken, herbs to fish, and venison is almost the healthiest meat next to bison and ostrich. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
3. <strong>Get Moving</strong>. After a 13 hour day, it's difficult to hit the gym. If I can't muster the energy to lift, I force myself to walk outside and get some fresh air. Often times, the breeze and noises of nature motivate me to walk Sir Mogs or take a light jog. Any extra steps you take each day, even 50, get you that much closer to losing weight and that much further away from the couch.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
4. <strong>Know Your Blood Pressure.</strong> About one in three adults have high blood pressure. It's important to know your numbers and take steps to control them if yours are high. I have my blood pressure checked routinely four times a year and track my numbers in a journal, noting whether I had coffee that morning (which can alter the numbers) or if I fasted the night before. This way, I can track any changes, either increases or decreases, before my doctor might ever notice a difference.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
5. <strong>Reduce Your Blood Sugar.</strong> Diabetes is a major controllable risk factor for heart disease. In my last profile my sugar was normal at 84. Ideal levels are between 70 and 100. I've eliminated Starbucks from my diet and take no sugar in my coffee. I save my sugar "points" for menu items I love like key lime pie, chocolate mousse, or a fancy martini. For summer parties, I use Stevia, a <em>natural</em>, sweet-leafed herb that has 300 times the sweetness of sugar and has almost <em>no effect on blood glucose</em>, which means it's great for those with a low-carbohydrate diet, diabetes or diabetes prevention. It is not a chemical, not human-produced, and has been used for hundreds of years in Brazil as "sweet treat." For you chem nerds, Stevia is heat stable, pH stable, and non-fermentable.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
6. <strong>Monitor and Understand Your Cholesterol.</strong> There are several different components that make up your numbers = Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My Total Cholesterol Score = 179. Total Cholesterol should be less than 200 to be considered ideal. 179 means I have low total cholesterol which is good. In fact, it's so good, my physician says I don't need to have the test repeated for five years (I'll be back next year though).</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
My HDL Score = 86. The ideal HDL range for women is greater than 55. HDL is the "good" cholesterol believed to remove excess cholesterol from the body tissues. It is desirable for this to be in the normal or high range. Exercise helps to increase the HDL cholesterol.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
My LDL Score = 83. The ideal range is less than 100, though anything under 130 is considered normal. LDL is the "bad" cholesterol because it tends to deposit cholesterol and fat on the artery walls, or atherosclerosis. My level is in the ideal range. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
My Triglycerides Score = 50. The normal range is under 150. Triglycerides are the major form of fat in the blood. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
7. <em><strong>Heart 411</strong></em>. When researching heart-healthy information, make sure your source is trusted and true. Friends Drs. Gillinov and Nissen, two of America's most respected doctors at Cleveland Clinic, have written a new book, <em><a href="http://my.clevelandclinic.org/heart411book.aspx" target="_blank">Heart 411</a>. </em>Learn how to sort facts from fiction, about stents and surgery, and the tools you need to live a long and healthy life.</div>

Tis the season of lifting and toning but my 2011 era is to keep it slim and trim.<br /><br />As you are aware, I'm natural, steroid-free, and conduct a non-cheat style of fitness. I'm so over the steroid users in the gym, male and female, that flaunt vascular arms and unrealistic muscles. If you were natural, I'd be impressed. Discontinuing your cycle of steroids in time to pass the fitness competition drug testing doesn't qualify as all natural either.<br /><br />Here's a fistpump to every single man and woman busting their glutes in the gym the all-natural-sweat-and-elbow-grease-kinda-way with protein shakes, dedication, motivation and a steroid-free diet plan.<br /><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjExLkMZcEKx5nb4C-1pP30J9uubFm89GpoSISlQG-5G4ev4P7xC9HFC9QuemGYsPJHh270JE-CtJT_WVvtrR_rQBfAEb5y2sVaaBqRJpkNqkBBY-7kYZu6N2qMHG89zu-jrD_yhA/s1600/DSCF7147ps7cr4x6_res60.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjExLkMZcEKx5nb4C-1pP30J9uubFm89GpoSISlQG-5G4ev4P7xC9HFC9QuemGYsPJHh270JE-CtJT_WVvtrR_rQBfAEb5y2sVaaBqRJpkNqkBBY-7kYZu6N2qMHG89zu-jrD_yhA/s400/DSCF7147ps7cr4x6_res60.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Fitness Model, Fashion Model Nicole McClain</span></div><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: left">Wishing you a Valentine's Day full of love, passion, excitement, candles and kisses! </div><br /><em><span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,0);font-size:85%;" >Nicole McClain's Music of the Moment: Don't Wait Too Long by Madeleine Peyroux</span></em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900768.post-65825223258540230042011-01-01T11:30:00.000-08:002011-01-21T11:35:49.872-08:00Happy New Year from Nicole McClainHappy New Year to you and yours!<br /><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdhCfBvskZBJ_QeLoIbG89lvRMrN1aFzT8X5dRIjDSmuvGE3mwuQ2UljN3gH3Kt-uE7Y-pG9-CuJXbiyitbPCETyI0rABn-dIx_wR2Vf-quXtW58xKoJqJYP7N1SctUx7pcIQBKQ/s1600/DolceGabbanaNicoleMcClain4x6.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdhCfBvskZBJ_QeLoIbG89lvRMrN1aFzT8X5dRIjDSmuvGE3mwuQ2UljN3gH3Kt-uE7Y-pG9-CuJXbiyitbPCETyI0rABn-dIx_wR2Vf-quXtW58xKoJqJYP7N1SctUx7pcIQBKQ/s400/DolceGabbanaNicoleMcClain4x6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Fashion and Fitness Model Nicole McClain</span></div><br /><em><span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,0);font-size:85%;" >Nicole McClain's Music of the Moment: Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine</span></em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900768.post-40537789891071154912010-10-14T07:24:00.001-07:002010-10-14T08:11:33.658-07:00Deer Season 2010 with Nicole McClain<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIxRipf9HISXyouJ7CboUJU8ZIZfOWF8-mpiMZuL50o90xtaq2bxZIaaIsD3kQBRV4GgiWQtMPQd2JdD4bWa6Tp3qAHDJ_kgL08FnObGDaB8a1Fk9zFXihMbQL0XP6g6n_gVUGRw/s1600/Nicole-McClain7080ps4cr4x6.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIxRipf9HISXyouJ7CboUJU8ZIZfOWF8-mpiMZuL50o90xtaq2bxZIaaIsD3kQBRV4GgiWQtMPQd2JdD4bWa6Tp3qAHDJ_kgL08FnObGDaB8a1Fk9zFXihMbQL0XP6g6n_gVUGRw/s400/Nicole-McClain7080ps4cr4x6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Deer Hunter and Model Nicole McClain from Cleveland, Ohio</span></div><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: left"></div><p>Hello my friends in Cleveland! I'm back for deer hunting season 2010 in Cleveland, Ohio. Of course I'll be heading south and over to Pennsylvania for an adventurous hunt, but Cleveland is the where it started and where I will have at least one treestand every year.</p><p>The new deer stand this year is somewhat of a Cadillac from Field & Stream. The All-Season Ultimate Ladder Stand will be supporting my huntress self a mere 23' in the air. The adjustable wrap-around camo skirt (skirt, how appropriate) will be a trial this year and I'm already loving the rooftop rain gear so I can hunt even longer regardless of weather. Certainly one of my more elaborate stands so we'll see how it goes.</p><p>A few pictures from the season so far:</p><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtz5LklkdhPxzeCgqTaBcP-a-EcTAX39eko7cEn7IfJCvgn7XhuywzZwdxIu56kGeIG0AtNbemYsHG5WqxpQrXw8fMnRevfBgkCX3QH0dfPckCmfsCVgi_zSw_QXYUPXepfgjLEQ/s1600/IMG_1916-4x6.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtz5LklkdhPxzeCgqTaBcP-a-EcTAX39eko7cEn7IfJCvgn7XhuywzZwdxIu56kGeIG0AtNbemYsHG5WqxpQrXw8fMnRevfBgkCX3QH0dfPckCmfsCVgi_zSw_QXYUPXepfgjLEQ/s400/IMG_1916-4x6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Treestand in Hiding<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBUZofsErzxGWQla6bOvYstKsRsuvfeoe5WUij_xUHwtz07zWhlrZlUW5LhGoVutVPyqN1L381Y4uoxsX4Hh0TIETyfhvKSt1misLxRJPKDWj7ncozbsmhSknsoJjIzJFGh7Wobw/s1600/IMG_1920.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBUZofsErzxGWQla6bOvYstKsRsuvfeoe5WUij_xUHwtz07zWhlrZlUW5LhGoVutVPyqN1L381Y4uoxsX4Hh0TIETyfhvKSt1misLxRJPKDWj7ncozbsmhSknsoJjIzJFGh7Wobw/s400/IMG_1920.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">2010 Deer Treestand<br /></span></div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0CUo8-aW0AEUhhFM8TGVCtscS3VRk5fGmlJ07Mgx6ECGuIRSWdAI9MPYAxjc_qkYr63o1p1SPjxVPWTWg7wbMiVyb732zCwtXgDOQK8AHofsD6CoZeB7WiAjzhOeWnoz1M2odlQ/s1600/PhoneOct2010_182-4x5.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0CUo8-aW0AEUhhFM8TGVCtscS3VRk5fGmlJ07Mgx6ECGuIRSWdAI9MPYAxjc_qkYr63o1p1SPjxVPWTWg7wbMiVyb732zCwtXgDOQK8AHofsD6CoZeB7WiAjzhOeWnoz1M2odlQ/s400/PhoneOct2010_182-4x5.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Model, Actress, Deer Hunter Nicole McClain</span></div><br /><p><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmhAt6hlCY3wLPZ6MT4I4uMhHMLzAx99_AJbcQZ9maKb4htAc-FwEgHK3iiWEh0WJXoX7rie-IQMl0gpd6C-melQfxr99w-vkhA39xOPwLNaDqwyZE8Bm83Xd02jJiPF_BO9axMg/s1600/PhoneOct2010+179.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmhAt6hlCY3wLPZ6MT4I4uMhHMLzAx99_AJbcQZ9maKb4htAc-FwEgHK3iiWEh0WJXoX7rie-IQMl0gpd6C-melQfxr99w-vkhA39xOPwLNaDqwyZE8Bm83Xd02jJiPF_BO9axMg/s400/PhoneOct2010+179.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Getting my gear together</span></div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYO4f7LCtnN_-Ysno8J7YypeCe3f5I1KEOMhkdPnMwFM49KNsNGGq_fl_-iZ8BbUru-JApH8_A5OAngGqJDh1fuyZJlT_cnpFJ2u1F62aBpks2UU9rlnAkoAMm70YiqRY_Y9l4-Q/s1600/PhoneOct2010+185-4x6.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYO4f7LCtnN_-Ysno8J7YypeCe3f5I1KEOMhkdPnMwFM49KNsNGGq_fl_-iZ8BbUru-JApH8_A5OAngGqJDh1fuyZJlT_cnpFJ2u1F62aBpks2UU9rlnAkoAMm70YiqRY_Y9l4-Q/s400/PhoneOct2010+185-4x6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Groundhog napping under my stand</span></div><p></p><br /><em><span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,0);font-size:85%;" >Nicole McClain's Music of the Moment: Motivational Speech by General Patton</span></em><br /><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900768.post-85950678406394853522010-08-04T06:49:00.000-07:002010-08-04T08:13:20.235-07:00Fashion Model Nicole McClain on Marty Allen<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPX1ILjcoEYaVHkvOyyvzlOOdu8mAvMhy3jLzkS_bSrIDJIP2WL0AC1iSHFhnlIDpSauKVVPnrKTqTSoCXifEwL_0VjX-GKmYFI_9qhFe0sCY12drxaVDk1NwqAQ1XiKEJcWz7Mw/s1600/dressingroomNicoleMcClain4x4.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPX1ILjcoEYaVHkvOyyvzlOOdu8mAvMhy3jLzkS_bSrIDJIP2WL0AC1iSHFhnlIDpSauKVVPnrKTqTSoCXifEwL_0VjX-GKmYFI_9qhFe0sCY12drxaVDk1NwqAQ1XiKEJcWz7Mw/s400/dressingroomNicoleMcClain4x4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Fitness Model and Actress Nicole McClain</span> </div><p>Listen in today as I will be on the <a href="http://www.martyallenshow.com/theshow/" target="_blank">Marty Allen Show today in Cleveland</a> again today as a radio cohost!

Because we need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet, I mean what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything...the good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things...all of it, all the time, every day. You're saying... "Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed, because I will be your witness." </strong><br /><br />I like standing outside waiting for the storm to come in and catching the rain in teapots (seriously). Sunshine through lots of windows makes me smile. I love animals and I'm a sucker for punching anyone who is mean to them. I think people who make fun of other people deserve to lose an eyeball or some other important body part (maybe a reproductive organ?). Hopefully someday my reproductive organs will produce small persons of my own (insert prayer here) because I want to be the best mom next to my own and I pray everyday for the Lord to bless my family (pets included), friends, and loved ones. <br /><br />Romance gets me everytime although it doesn't happen often enough and while precedents can be one of the greatest things you ever set, they can also be the most destructive landslides ever begun. I love it when my face hurts from laughing and I plan on blaming any and all wrinkles on that factor. I'm convinced there are illegal addictive stimulants in McDonald's coffee, that men design women's restrooms, pumpkins should be carved twice a year, and fancy underwear are worth every penny. <br /><br />I'm sentimental to the point it's dangerous and my heart thinks it can fix the impossible. I believe men should be given flowers, women deserve to be adored and fancied, greeting cards should be scented with perfume, and everyone deserves a blanket with silky edges. Pride destroys relationships, stubbornness has bitten me in the @ss, bug bites still hurt me, and I've learned some of the healthiest things are some of the most disgusting things I've ever tasted (next to radionuclide of course).<br /><br />Weak people are the ones who delight in showing you how weak you are while strong people are the ones who delight in showing you how strong you are. Favors or pardons should never expect something in return and manipulation comes from a callous and malicious heart. If it's a character flaw you need to work on, don't practice on me. Don't mistake my kindness for weakness and please leave your hypocrisy at home. People who copy off of you are just jealous they didn't think of it first and people who try half-@ssed deserve exactly that. Push me down but know I'll fall with my fists swinging and karma will be more of a b*tch to you than I could ever try to be. If you hurt, exploit the privacy of, or abuse me or my loved ones, I'll realize in due time to eject you from my inner circle of happiness. <br /><br />I'm awesome with a crayon, terrible with wheat, hate paper bags, love hopelessly, play aggressively, sleep lightly, scare easily, quit painfully, shoot impeccably, eat healthfully, exercise regularly, sterilize excessively and when in doubt I say paint it black. My heart says you can miss someone just by the sight of their empty shoes by the door and I crave to be loved for my fantastics and my flaws. Details overload my brain, squares make me happy, and children make me laugh hysterically. <br /><br />Working out needs to be a part of a relationship rather than a supplement for one. Marriage is taken too lightly, divorce is used too frequently, and I think everyone should try therapy more often. Adoption is for those with hearts from God and a "Mom" or "Dad" is anyone who can love a child as their own. I try relentlessly to make others' "firsts" come true, believe in second chances, and think every person should own camouflage and hunter orange. <br /><br />People spend too much time on the computer and when Armageddon begins, most won't realize unless it comes in the form of an email. Everyone should have to struggle to pay the bills at least once and relationships are worth fighting for and crying over. Friends who bring flowers should be mailed thank you cards and people who share secrets and don't mind their own business should be exposed naked on the Internet. <br /><br />I hope God can forgive me of my sins as well as the people I share my life with. I plan on asking God why spiders have to look so creepy, why life has to be so short, why my parents can't live forever, and why the love of our life has to leave. I think my future spouse and I should be the only ones who know about the cabins in Lake Tahoe (I just ruined that secret didn't I? CRAP). I think the word 'CRAP' sounds funny if you say it right and the word 'PORK' is profane. Too many people have too many sexual partners, I wish drugs weren't so readily available and I pray for forgiveness when people use the Lord's name in vain. <br /><br />Texting should only be used to send love notes during the day and everyone should experience the unconditional love of a dog. If Pilot ever stops making V5 Ultra Fine pens I'll never write again, not that anyone could read my eclectic handwriting anyway. I hope to be remembered as someone who made others feel loved and made their lives special for more reasons than one (or at least one really good one). I want to know how I can be better at everything I do, why windchimes aren't at every street corner, when it will snow in the summer, why meteor showers don't happen more often, and where the heck I left my keys. <br /><br />The love of a family is a gift no one should have to live without and a good rocking chair is hard to find. Children should believe it matters what they think, a beautiful smile is a bonus, colored toilet paper can cause problems, and having someone give in when they shouldn't can save everything. I can sum up everything I've learned about life in three words: <em>life goes on</em> (what did you think I was going to say? Victoria's Secret Rules?).<br /><br /><em><span style="color: #660000; font-size: 85%;">Nicole McClain's Music of the Moment: Anything by Buckcherry</span></em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900768.post-69223363216072415022009-07-27T11:08:00.000-07:002009-07-27T12:44:15.921-07:00UFC 100 Recap with Bacardi Ring Girl Nicole McClain<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQ_dk1bX55imR5lxNKnFYjshz-7rOwvdRfXB45eFOG6Nh5uZvoHMxV_gIWD7BBAfn22DYV502eqMPww8Ws5J_vAegVD7AsHiqnVvqIOgssn4Gs4h86m_CRtW2DbaiKUVdAzKDZQ/s1600-h/IMG_1435pscr5x6.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQ_dk1bX55imR5lxNKnFYjshz-7rOwvdRfXB45eFOG6Nh5uZvoHMxV_gIWD7BBAfn22DYV502eqMPww8Ws5J_vAegVD7AsHiqnVvqIOgssn4Gs4h86m_CRtW2DbaiKUVdAzKDZQ/s400/IMG_1435pscr5x6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">UFC 100 Bacardi Ring Girls, Nicole McClain (right)</span></div><p>Lesnar stopped Frank Mir with a merciless flurry of punches July 11 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, defending his title in the final bout of UFC 100 on a landmark weekend recognizing the best in this proliferating sport. </p><p><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVOVXvpHYfuOWhhfDLPDxxzAUR8OAcptrvPs_-OGHOh6XU2l-Jt_ujjDOX1LrUnNu4GR7XezalxN3fdA5XAtyuzRn-99nEe4oz42wqd0qj5CoZ7SNHxpq_1XdLNqSMbj3p1TBQDg/s1600-h/IMG_1436pscr4.6.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVOVXvpHYfuOWhhfDLPDxxzAUR8OAcptrvPs_-OGHOh6XU2l-Jt_ujjDOX1LrUnNu4GR7XezalxN3fdA5XAtyuzRn-99nEe4oz42wqd0qj5CoZ7SNHxpq_1XdLNqSMbj3p1TBQDg/s400/IMG_1436pscr4.6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">UFC 100 Bacardi Ring Girls, Nicole McClain (right)</span></div><p></p><p>Lesnar (4-1) stole the show with what happened after his relentless series of right hands into the face of Mir, who handed Lesnar his only loss nearly 18 months ago.<br /><br /></p><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPviKBKz9-Z_dm9VWwD5s7cY-kwbGdjSzJ7D_aMZuw-6VDK9iOwy56nXxj3n6r7jri57E5wOUlZVDbu72y2w86E1di-q4EOItWggzzSEIK0mgZI97XWhylmxPLhXLLjd-bSMAqgw/s1600-h/ba-mma_ufc_100_0500368790.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPviKBKz9-Z_dm9VWwD5s7cY-kwbGdjSzJ7D_aMZuw-6VDK9iOwy56nXxj3n6r7jri57E5wOUlZVDbu72y2w86E1di-q4EOItWggzzSEIK0mgZI97XWhylmxPLhXLLjd-bSMAqgw/s400/ba-mma_ufc_100_0500368790.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Brock Lesnar wins UFC 100</span></div><p>Mir had won their first encounter with a kneebar, and he tried another one in the opening minute of the rematch.
