Q: Offer condolences through a card can make you feel even more at a loss for words than if you were standing in front of the person. But if you take the time to write a brief, thoughtful note, you’ll be helping a friend or close acquaintance in a time of need. Here are some basic things to keep in mind as you offer condolences through a card:  Don’t use the word “death” or “dead” - say something more tasteful, like “loss” or “passed away”. If you knew the person who passed away, you can write a brief memory or anecdote about that person—as long as it’s tasteful. Tell the person who suffered the loss that you’re thinking of him and that you are there to help. If you know that someone close to you has suffered the loss of a loved one, then you should communicate your condolences over the phone if that person lives far away. You should call that person to say you’re sorry and sound sincere and talk slowly. Give the person all of your attention over the phone and make sure you’re in a quiet place when you have some time to talk. Avoid offering condolences through text. If you have a very casual relationship with that person, and he texts you and mentions the loss, then you can say you’re very sorry through this method. But if you know the person suffered a loss and you’re close, take the time to make a phone call instead of initiating contact through texting, which could offend the person with its casual nature. Though it may feel strange to give your condolences on Facebook, people now often tell all of their Facebook friends that they’ve suffered the loss of a loved one. This puts you in an awkward position—if the person knows you’re on Facebook a lot and you and the person post on each other’s comments often, then you’re almost being rude by not responding. Here’s how to offer condolences on Facebook:  If you don’t have a close relationship with the person but do post on his wall or comments from time to time, then simply join the masses of other people who have posted something like, “I’m sorry for your loss.” If you’re a bit closer with the person but not close enough for a phone call, you can send the person a private message saying that you saw that the person lost a loved one and that you’re very sorry for the loss. Obviously, if someone has posted a status about losing someone and has even written some kind words about the person, do not “like” this status. Even if you just like the sentiment about the person who passed away, this may give the person the wrong message and can be deeply offensive.

Q: . Think of all the MMA greats. Men like Randy Couture, Matt Hughes, Dan Hardy, and Georges St. Pierre. What do they all have in common? Be consistent with how you train and keep your eye on the prize with your goals to be the best.  Have tunnel vision when it comes to others and their progress. By comparing yourself to someone else, you are imposing limits on you. Focus on not having limits at all. Strive for excellence. Focus on your development and growth as an MMA fighter. Search there for your drive to succeed. Set goals to challenge yourself. Evaluate your progress regularly and then make new goals. You can practice and train all day every day, but there’s nothing like real ring experience. When you are ready, go ahead and step into the ring, and let the experience teach you. Consider the fighters promoters love to promote. Identify and study what makes fans prefer one fighter over the next. If you become the one that everyone is talking about, then you will have an easier time getting that shot at the title.  Always try to finish your opponent when you’re in the cage. Exciting knockouts and submissions are a lot more fun to watch than decisions. Show your personality. If you have a great, memorable personality then you will get a lot more exposure. Whenever you are training, never miss an opportunity to practice techniques you are taught from different disciplines. No matter where you are or what you're doing, the motions of martial arts can be utilized. Take these opportunities to perfect your techniques.  For example, if you are doing bag drills, don't just swing like a maniac. Use your techniques, like different kickboxing, MMA moves. If you can keep good form when your arms are ready to drop off, then you have a much better chance of performing at the top of your game when you're in the cage. Your body will need time to rest and recover. If you choose to push yourself beyond that point, then it will adversely affect your performance. Learn to recognize this point and when you get to it, give your body the recovery time it needs.  Signs and symptoms that you might have overtrained in the past include being sick before competition, training injuries, underperformance, and/or delayed peaking.  Signs and symptoms that you might be overtraining in the present include having an increased heartrate, having an increased heartrate for a given training intensity, having an increased time for heartrate to recover between intervals, and/or apathy or lack of enthusiasm for training.
A: Get motivated and stay motivated Gain ring experience so that you can fight at your full potential. Be remarkable and stand out amongst the rest. Take opportunities to practice technique(s). Refrain from going overboard with training and fighting.

Q: Ask the butcher if the weisswurst you're buying needs to be fully cooked or just reheated. If you're buying packaged weisswurst, read the cooking instructions to determine if you should fully cook the sausages. Since many packaged weisswurst are precooked, you can simply toss them onto a medium-heat grill. Cover the grill and cook the weisswurst until they're completely hot throughout. Turn the weisswurst occasionally and grill them for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the hot weisswurst. Avoid poking the weisswurst casing with a fork, knife or tongs to prevent the flavorful liquid inside the sausage from leaking. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for medium-heat. Brush the grill grate with vegetable oil, so the sausages don't stick to the grill. Place the weisswurst on the grill over indirect heat. Cover the grill and let the weisswurst cook until they reach 140 °F (60 °C). Frequently turn the sausages and spray them with a little water or beer, so they brown evenly and don't split. Remove the cooked weisswurst from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate. Lay a sheet of aluminum foil over the sausages and let them rest for 5 minutes. They'll finish cooking and then you can serve the hot weisswurst. You can store leftover grilled weisswurst in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
A:
Determine if your weisswurst is raw or pre-cooked. Reheat weisswurst on the grill if they're precooked. Grill the raw weisswurst over medium-low heat. Rest and serve the grilled weisswurst.
