Figure RX has a nice backstage feature with a photo gallery and competitor moderated forum. Here is an excerpt from Erin’s bio:
“Erin has a background in high level gymnastics, and she competed in the sport for fifteen years. At the Division One NCAA level, she was a stand-out parallel bars specialist at the University of Missouri. Erin’s years of gymnastics gave her a superb foundation for fitness, where she has become known for her combination of strength, balanced muscularity, conditioning, and electrifying stage routines. This 5′4″ beautiful superstar also balances her weight training, cardio and routine practice with her schooling, where she is getting a second degree in dietetics, and her personal training business.”
Lori’s editorial guidelines prevent me from putting up a larger clip from this new Brian Moss Shemuscle.com premium photo shoot. Get over to SM today, a new weekly update is also due.
MethodMMA.com appears to be a wonderful suburban mixed martial arts school (this photo from their Adults Classes captured Aaron and Karen) somewhere in Maryland. MMA also has produced a series of how to MMA videos onto Youtube, this one below entitled “MethodMMA.com - Triangle From The Mount”:
“”I learned to climb with my older brother, sister and her boyfriend in Southern California in 1975. I was 14 years old at the time and simply happy to tag along with them wherever they went climbing. Most weekends were spent in Joshua Tree or at Tahquitz and Suicide Rock, but occasionally we would go to a few local practice areas such as Big Rock, Stoney Point. My opportunities multiplied when I bought my first car and began traveling to new places on my own. I would sometimes venture out to more distant places like the Needles or Mount Woodson, and during my last years of high school, I spent my summers climbing in Yosemite for as long as my limited savings would allow.”

republished review from her website: “Six albums, countless live performances and eight years on from being 1999’s token, sorry, wildcard Mercury nominee, not an awful lot has changed in the world of folk songstress Kate Rusby. She is still, as the BBC put it, ‘the acceptable face of folk’; less traditional than Eliza Carthy and easier on the ear than Seth Lakeman. The only thing that has noticeably shifted over time is that with each album she releases, her own compositions have improved to the point that the word ‘Rusby’ is now a surer mark of a song’s quality than the word ‘trad’ . And old-school folkies can stick that opinion in their pipe and slippers and smoke it.”
