You may have noticed that some years in Los Angeles County are wetter—or drier—than others. And in wet years you may also have noticed a lot of unfiltered water rushing off paved surfaces, into storm drains, and out to sea carrying whatever pollutants it washes over. So, not only are we losing water that could be captured for local use or returned to the ground for irrigation, we're failing to clean it up before it enters our waterways.
But did you know that even in times of drought, what little moisture falls from the sky can be harvested and put to use?… Read more >>

This week belongs to Maxwell, Daniel, Raphael, Ilya and their Diaspora project. In 12 days they reached their target of $10,000 for a summer project to build an open source personal web server that will put individuals in control of their data. As of today donations are up to $142k with 18 days still remaining. There are a number of projects already in existence to build upon – FOAF and SIOC are two worth checking out. If you guys want to learn more about them have a chat with John Breslin when he is next in NYC on June 3rd. We will follow your Diaspora project with interest over the summer!
Thanks to everyone who made this weeks meetup. With some members getting exams out of the way this month its time to focus on getting a place to call our own in June. This will be discussed at our next community meetup 7pm Tuesday, May 18th at the Galway Bakery Company. Come upstairs to the back section when you arrive and we will order from there. Upcoming events this weekend worth mentioning are Drupal Camp Ballyvaughan which runs May 15th-16th. Our friends at TOG are running a synchronicity hackathon May 15th – 16th. We will sign off this week by wishing Cathal and Niamh who are getting married this weekend good health, happiness and hacking all the days of your lives!

Valeri scores 2 early lead, Timbers top Chivas 5-0
Diego Valeri scored two first-half goals and the Portland
Timbers cruised to a 5-0 victory over Chivas USA on Saturday
The win gives Portland the regular-season Western Conference
title and with it home-field advantage through at least the first
two rounds of the playoffs. Portland (14-5-15) will open the
playoffs with an away match on Nov. 2 or 3 against either Seattle,
Colorado or the LA Galaxy.
With the result, Chivas (6-20-4) became the 15th team in league
history to finish a season with at least 20 losses.
Valeri scored in 16th and 29th minutes and assisted on Rodney
Wallace's 34th-minute goal. Ryan Johnson and Will Johnson scored
second-half goals to provide the final margin.
Chivas played without starting goalkeeper Dan Kennedy due to an
abdominal strain.

Opimd redesign
From Openmoko
This page will gather all the suggestions (and will be a decent design sketch) for the redesign of opimd. After many discussions in IRC we decided opimd needs a redesign.
Main topics that came up are: switching opimd to use sqlite for internal operations and adding configuration for types instead of the use of URIs. Many of the ideas that came up concerning the second idea are represented in this IRC log: http://pastebin.com/mb7fbf10 and in the logs from #openmoko-cdevel@Freenode on 09-10 of october 2009.
Furthermore, it has been suggested than a change in the sqlite backend db design is also needed.
Info about those changes will be shown here as soon as we'll have time to write it down.
Changes in fields
ATM opimd just lets you add fields as you wish, this is bad, since you can't really categorize fields and have to use weird hacks like the "tel:" prefix.
I'm suggesting a move to a configuration you'll have the following dbus methods:
- ListFields
- AddFiled
- DelField
- GetField
each field will have a type (phone number would be a type for instance) that will guide opimd on how to compare items of this type, again, in the case of phone numbers, use normalization.
The user of the API will be able to add fields and their types whenever he wants (and also remove such) and that will let us control opimd in a sane manner.
I think we also need a couple of default fields of special types:
- Phone - returns the default phone (of all the cells with type phone)
- Name - returns "First Last, nick" or something like that.
- SIP - returns default contact info for sip
- SMS - returns default phone number for SMS etc etc.
This will make everything easier for the users of the API to handle and will be sane!
Changes in query method
I don't get why we use this querying method, it jsut makes everything weird hard to handle.
Furthermore, it'll be easier and faster to get only "phone number" fields for matching (in opimd), the user of the API will just be able to tell it "find me a phone_number field that matches this number" and will not force us to check each field like we do atm.
Internal design
opimd should internally use sqlite for caching as it's faster, easier to handle and generally better.
Query improvements
It should really be possible to ask opimd for several contacts at once, i.e ask him for the contacts "Tom, dick and harry" or for the numbers "123, 435 and 546546" at one query, because querying opimd for 70 different contacts at one time (phonelog) is terribly slow.
Furthermore it should be able to ask for a "join" of backends when requesting from one. i.e, I want to be able to ask opimd for the messages and the corresponding contacts for each message in one query, or even ask opimd for all the messages that match all the numbers from the contact "Charley".
Query reply should be possible to sort differently depending on the national character encoding.

Hi everyone I'm back from a lovely restful weekend at the lodge. The weather wasn't the best and it rained on and off but we made the most of it. When the weather was dry we picked more cooking and eating apples, chopped up wood to bring back for our open fires and enjoyed our walks around the woodland and open field we have at the lodge. It was a very productive weekend and I came home with 2 gorgeous new tablecloths and matching napkins that my mother in law made with the fabric I recently bought from eBay. My Lemon Curd and Blueberry Loaf Cake was thoroughly enjoyed and didn't last beyond Sunday evening, it's definitely a must bake! In addition I also made this scrumptious Banana Chocolate and Pecan Loaf, I couldn't go away for the weekend and leave the sad looking bananas in my fruit bowl. I adapted this loaf to my taste and added chocolate instead of raisins and Total Greek Yoghurt instead of buttermilk. The end result was a moist, chocolatey, nutty and very yummy banana loaf.

Banana Chocolate and Pecan Loaf

This looks delightful! I am going to be trying out the Butterscotch Banana Pudding this week (which is how I found your blog to begin with) and I may as well save some bananas for this too!
I am wondering where you get the loaf sized papers for you pans? I am in the US and have not seen them, but think they would be so handy.

Hi AB
Thanks and let me know what you think of the Butterscotch Banana Pudding.

Violet just went mad, pointing at the computer screen going "cakey, cakey, it's cakey mum". As if I don't have an endless supply in the kitchen already, and she needs more. I think she likes the look of your Banana, Chocolate and Pecan Loaf!
Please stop mentioning your weekends at 'The Lodge' - I just turn green with envy everytime.

I made this for my hubby yesterday and he loved it!
Can I just ask, when you mention your weight for bananas, is this without the skins on?? I know it may be a silly question, but I'm never too sure! I also have the same problem with carrots and whether it is before or afer they're grated.
Sarah xx :0)

Hi Sarah
Lovely to hear you baked this for your hubby and he loved it!
I'm going on Nigella's instructions but the weight is based on the bananas with skin on. The same would apply to carrots etc.

Dakota Fanning going -- ahem -- very nude in 'Very Good Girls'
Dakota Fanning, left, is going nude in her newest film "Very Good Girls." In Naomi Former's coming-of-age film, Fanning, 19, plays a girl who makes a pact with her best friend (played by Elizabeth Olsen) to lose their virginity before they start college. They both fall for the same guy and, naturally, their friendship is at risk. As for baring it all in her first sex scene... "Yeah, well, I've never done that before and I'm very newly allowed to do that," she told MTV News at the Sundance Film Festival. "I was newly 18, so yeah, it was -- it's kind of a sensitive thing, but it's a part of life."

English Site Reports on Caravan Salon Product
September 1, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on English Site Reports on Caravan Salon Product
England-based Out & About Live, an online site dedicated to carvanning, has been offering product reports from the 2011 Caravan Salon in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Products reviewed include:
• Developed after consultation with UK dealers, Hobby's Siesta 65 UC offers a comfy rear U-shaped lounge in a low profile space. Ford's trusty Transit provides motivation with 140-bhp engine an option. Unique features in the motorhome include a shower-creating sliding wall in the washroom and Hobby's own fridge, the space-saving Slim Tower.
• Chausson's ever-expanding Suite range gets another layout in the Relax. There's the same Suite-signature island kitchen – with gas-on-glass hob – and lounge with drop-down roof bed upfront, but in the rear, a transverse fixed double adds night-time convenience. The Relax is 25 feet long and provides five berths.
• Adria launches a new layout for its stylish Sonic A-class motorhome. The I 700 ST provides a French double bed in the front and beyond that an across-the-rear washroom. There's also a 'ski' wet locker in the offside rear corner, complete with drained floor. The I 700 ST comes in at 24 feet long, with euro prices starting at $90,420.
• Carthago's latest C-line motorhome, the 5.8 XL is the first of the breed to sit on a tag-axle chassis. Fiat provides motivation, while the 27-foot body contains a sumptuous layout with large lounge upfront, ensuite and island bed in the rear. Value and luxury is Carthago's aim with this model, as prices run from what seems a very reasonable $137, 789.

Also they mention verification/source issues but they didn't make it clear enough for me.
edit: and wontaek did his part on English page!
Anyway, back to the real BMT discussion:
I hope international support increases so that we get more variety. International support usually seem to be more male votes than female votes so it would be a nice balance to a slight female dominance we're having right now.

Best Moe tournament(korean) is Saimoe??
http://moet.anizone.net/index.php?lang=eng "Best Moe Tournament is popularity vote for animation characters"
Animation Characters?? Saimoe Tournament is ANIME(Japanese Animation) Characters only, (184.108.40.206 (talk) 01:37, 14 August 2008 (UTC))
(cur | prev) 01:39, 14 August 2008 184.108.40.206 (talk) (7,608 bytes) (not Saimoe) (undo)
Then Buspar came in and got rid of everything else
11:19, 14 September 2008 Buspar (talk | contribs) (7,593 bytes) (Remove links to events that lack their own Wiki page)
After this happened, following discussion occurred .
Other moe tournaments?
What about including other Moe tournaments as well now we have a standalone article, even be it only "Derivates of SaiMoe" part on the bottom.
From my head I can name Best Moe (Korean), International SaiMoe (US, taking winners of other SaiMoe and adding some nominees) and SeiMoe (Touhou only Moe contest).
It's a pity that some of these have disappeared from moe (slang) page without appearing elsewhere, mainly because this is a quick way to find out who won in recent years. Wolfii-nya (talk) 19:30, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
We can pretty much add Korean Best Moe in - as well as ISML. Difficult to attain the Korean one however due to lack of available records. If you can get a hand on those, that'll be nice. KyuuA4 (talk) 19:48, 30 May 2009 (UTC) Alright. Perhaps, this article can expand to include all the other "notable" moe tournaments. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 04:15, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Here is what I concluded.
No one said Best Moe Tournament or ISML cannot have its own Wiki article. At the strongest, they claimed mention of these does not belong to Anime Saimoe Tournament Article.
My recommendation : Someone should make ISML and Best Moe Tournament Wiki Article in English. If someone says such articles should be deleted, then ask why should Anime Saimoe Tournament article be allowed to exist and not ISML or Best Moe. In my view, they should all be treated under same standard, thus either they all go, or they all stay.
If they wanted Korean Records , just a few google search would have landed them at following page.
http://moeyoso.egloos.com/category/%EC%B5%9C%EB%AA%A8%ED%86%A0%20%EA%B8%B0%EB%A1%9D%2 006~07
if they bothered to check the English, all match records for Female division after 2006 is preserved right here at AnimeSuki. 2006 record is also preserved in ISML website, although it relies on the moeyoso.egloos.com as the source, but different source also exist to confirm most of the later round results.
Finally, I like to add that supporting Anime Saimoe which practices closure to the rest of the world while disapproving ISML and Best moe which practices global openness goes against the founding ideas of Wikipedia.

Hey, maglor and I spent a lot of time hunting and translating the KBM 2006/2007 results because we wanted them to be recorded somewhere. wontaek should say what he said here on those wiki pages.
So basically from what wontaek found out, I came to 2 conclusions.
1) KBM was deleted (from the English wiki page for Saimoe) because "animation characters" are not clarified as "Japanese animation characters." If Anizone clarifies that, then there would not be a problem.
2) KBM and ISML were further removed for not having their own wiki pages. If we do create those pages, then there shouldn't be a problem.
Can we do it?
Once again, KyuuA4 points to KBM's records. We can try linking to ISML's reverse bracket for KBM and see from there. Like imbehindyou said, sooner or later Anizone should try to put the earlier KBM results on their site, but that's low priority just for a wiki page, or so it seems~

Now let's see who tries to get in an edit war with me. I agree about each Saimoe having its own Wiki article, it'll help to popularize the spinoffs.

Start This article has been rated as Start-Class on the assessment scale. Low This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale.
These labels, Best Moe and ISML articles should get the same rating.

No surprise with Yui and Holo winning. Minatsu made it in, but not too crazy about her ending up in third.
Almost no one of interest in group 7, but Group 8..... 4 favorites and they don't include K-ON. I'm also worried about group 9.

Oh maglor tell me one thing: KBM votes are 3 groups a day. If I check the results it lists them with 4 groups at once which makes it annoying to check. Surely you have a good reason for this !?!?!?!?

Corporate Globalization Resistance
by Global Exchange
Citizens can and should play an active role in shaping the future of our global economy. Here are
some of the ways in which we can work together to reform global trade rules, demand that corporations are accountable to people's
needs, build strong and free labor and promote fair and environmentally sustainable alternatives.
1. No Globalization without RepresentationMultilateral institutions such as the World Trade Organization, the
World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund create global policy with input mainly from multinational corporations and
very little input from grassroots citizens groups. We need to ensure that all global citizens must be democratically represented
in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of all global social and economic policies of the WTO, the IMF, and the
WB. The WTO must immediately halt all meetings and negotiations in order for a full, fair, and public assessment to be conducted
of the impacts of the WTO's policies to date. The WTO must be replaced by a body that is fully democratic, transparent, and
accountable to citizens of the entire world instead of to corporations. We must build support for trade policies that protect
workers, human rights, and the environment.
Our World Is Not For Sale
Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch
Third World Network
Focus on the Global South
International Forum on Globalization
2. Mandate Corporate AccountabilityCorporations have so heavily influenced global trade negotiations that they
now have rights and representation greater than individual citizens and even governments. Under the guise of 'free trade'
they advocate weakening of labor and environmental laws -- a global economy of sweatshops and environmental devastation. Corporations
must be subject to the people's will; they should have to prove their worth to society or be dismantled. Corporations must
be accountable to public needs, be open to public scrutiny, provide living wage jobs, abide by all environmental and labor
regulations, and be subject to all laws governing them. Shareholder activism is an excellent tool for challenging corporate

3. Restructure the Global Financial ArchitectureCurrency speculation and the derivatives market move over $1.5
trillion daily (compared to world trade of $6 trillion annually), earning short-term profits for wealthy investors at the
expense of long-term development. Many countries are beginning to implement 'capital controls' in order to regulate the influence
foreign capital, and grassroots groups are advocating the restructuring and regulation of the global financial architecture.
Citizens can pass local city resolutions for the Tobin Tax - a tax of .1% to .25% on currency transactions which would provide
a disincentive for speculation but not affect real capital investment, and create a huge fund for building schools & clinics
throughout the world.
Tobin Tax Initiative
ATTAC France
Institute for Policy Studies
4. Cancel all Debt, End Structural Adjustment and Defend Economic SovereigntyDebt is crushing most poor countries'
ability to develop as they spend huge amounts of their resources servicing odious debt rather than serving the needs of their
populations. Structural adjustment is the tool promoted by the IMF and World Bank to keep countries on schedule with debt
payments, with programs promoting export-led development at the expense of social needs. There is an international movement
demanding that all debt be cancelled in the year 2000 in order for countries to prioritize health care, education, and real
development. Countries must have the autonomy to pursue their own economic plans, including prioritizing social needs over
the needs of multinational corporations.
Jubilee USA Network
50 Years Is Enough! US Network for Global Economic Justice
World Bank Bonds Boycott
5. Prioritize Human Rights - Including Economic Rights - in Trade AgreementsThe United Nations must be the strongest
multilateral body - not the WTO. The US must ratify all international conventions on social and political rights. Trade rules
must comply with higher laws on human rights as well as economic and labor rights included in the United Nations Declaration
of Human Rights. We should promote alternative trade agreements that include fair trade, debt cancellation, micro-credit,
and local control over development policies.
Citizen's Trade Campaign
Alliance for Responsible Trade
Alternative Agreement for the Americas
6. Promote Sustainable Development - Not Consumption - as the Key to ProgressGlobal trade and investment should
not be ends in themselves, but rather the instruments for achieving equitable and sustainable development, including protection
for workers and the environment. Global trade agreements should not undermine the ability of each nation, state or local community
to meet its citizens' social, environmental, cultural or economic needs. International development should not be export-driven,
but rather should prioritize food security, sustainability, and democratic participation.
Friends of the Earth
Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy
Sierra Club

7. Integrate Womens' Needs in All Economic RestructuringWomen make up half the world but hold less than 5% of
positions of power in determining global economic policy, and own an estimated 1% of global property. Family survival around
the world depends on the economic independence of women. Economic policies need to take into account women's important role
in nutrition, education, and development. This includes access to family planning as well as education, credit, job training,
policy decision-making, and other needs.

8. Build Free and Strong Labor Unions Internationally and DomesticallyAs trade becomes more 'free,' labor unions
are still restricted from organizing in most countries. The International Labor Organization should have the same enforcement
power as the WTO. The US should ratify ILO conventions and set an example in terms of enforcing workers' rights to organize
and bargain collectively. As corporations increase their multinational strength, unions are working to build bridges across
borders and organize globally. Activists can support their efforts and ensure that free labor is an essential component of
any 'free trade' agreements.

9. Develop Community Control Over Capital; Promote Socially Responsible InvestmentLocal communities should not
be beholden to the IMF, international capital, multinational corporations, or any other non-local body for policy. Communities
should be able to develop investment and development programs that suit local needs including passing anti-sweatshop purchasing
restrictions, promoting local credit unions and local barter currency, and implementing investment policies for their city,
church, and union that reflect social responsibility criteria.
United for a Fair Economy
Alliance for Democracy
Social Investment Forum
10. Promote Fair Trade Not Free TradeWhile we work to reform 'free trade' institutions and keep corporate chain
stores out of our neighborhoods, we should also promote our own vision of Fair Trade. We need to build networks of support
and education for grassroots trade and trade in environmentally sustainable goods. We can promote labeling of goods such as
Fair Trade Certified, organic, and sustainably harvested. We can purchase locally made goods and locally grown foods that
support local economies and cooperative forms of production and trade.

The name Northern Neck District will soon be lost after this school year and another will take its place in the upcoming school year. When students return not only will the competition size increase, but the group they represent will take on the name of a prominent river.
On Feb. 5, at the Northern Neck District meeting of principals and athletic directors, the group approved to name Conference 43 the Rappahannock River Conference. This action comes after the Virginia High School League's Executive Committee adopted the new six-classification alignment for all membership schools including those from the Northern Neck District (NND).
Rappahannock County High School is the only team to join the rest of the Northern Neck District teams including those high school schools from Colonial Beach, Essex, Lancaster, Northumberland, Rappahannock and Washington & Lee.
With the spring sports season around the corner, directors and principals announced changes for baseball and softball including the expansion of more teams in the playoffs and the district tournaments being held at Dreamfields in Lancaster County.
"We share our district tournaments from school to school. The decision to host tournaments generally falls into two main items. 1.) Does the school have the facilities for it? 2.) Does a school want it, and does the school have a staff of people (resources) to host it," stated Washington & Lee High School Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis. "In this case, Lancaster has the best facility and situation to do this."
Lewis said that the finals games will be held on the same night and as a result of the increased expenses for field expenses and officials, the tournament entry fee has been increased from $5 to $7.
As for the regional playoffs, the number of teams allowed to compete will increase from four to six teams.
"This has been an NND initiative for years. We have always felt that baseball and softball in the NND were among the best in the region and that often our third place team could beat another district's champion. So in an effort to truly get the four best teams in the region into the regional playoffs it was important to expand the opportunity to a few more wildcards," Lewis said. "It passed this year as a result of a well planned promotion by ADs in favor of it, and a very good presentation by Fred Birchett [Lancaster] at the Regional meeting. In our favor was the fact that next year all tournaments will be run this way…why not start it up now."

Quote from: Big Pat on November 27, 2010, 09:48:19 AM
Stuntmovie, glad I could fill in the names for you.
I only had two phone conversations with Mr. Janis, never met him in person. The only way I know of Mr. Metz was an article about him and the IronMan gym in Dan Lurie's Muscle Training Illus. in the 80's. MTI also did an article about a seminar that Ty Youngs (Mr. Yorton's NBBA winner) did at the IronMan. I do know that Mr. Metz sold the gym to a guy named C.C. Sanders, who also promoted physique shows in the North County.
I must admit the 60's were at least a decade before my time, but I have had many fine conversations with men who trained here in the San Diego area. I believe the man you are referring to with the leg injuries is Big John McWilliams. I had an older gym member of mine who trained with him at the North Park Health Club in the 60's. He was the club manager and from what I was told trained a lot of the SD Charger football players, including John Kemp. I have heard two, now three stories on how he injured his legs. One is war injuries, two is yours about the chainsaw and three, which Dr. A on IronAge forum states, from an industrial accident. Years ago Mr. George Coates (former IM writer) lent me all the photos the Mr. Stern took of him, he is always wearing long pants. There is one famous image of him that appeared in IM magazine in the late 50's that shows his right arm flexed which looks like a bowling ball . He has been given credit for having the first true 20" arm.
I have to make an appointment this morning but will continue with the Mission Beach question later this evening.
Be safe and strong,
it was said of john mcwilliams that he drank lots of water and used to pray that most of it would go yo his arms...

Thank you Funk51 for posting the image of Mr. McWilliams.
I would have thought that image was later than 1950! I guess he had Leroy Colbert beat by a long shot to the 20 inch mark.
For Stuntmovie, the only gym in Mission Beach that I ever knew of was Bud Keith's Health House. It was just North of the Big Dipper roller coaster at Belmont Park. I correspond with a guy in New York years ago when I was selling vintage physique magazines who lived with a relative every summer and trained at the Health House (60's). He said it was the best time of his life and related about all the "interesting characters" that lifted and enjoyed the beach. I know the guy who bought Mr. Keith's equipment when he vacated the location (1980 or so). The Health House became Hamel's Sports, that sells beach items and rents bikes and skates. The Hamel's brother also sponsored the annual Mr/Miss. Mission Beach contests on a upper deck that faces the ocean. The most popular bar that I know of in the area is the Pennant, but that is located South of the end of Belmont Park.
As for the Gold's gym in Pacific Beach, I once talked with a man named Paul Eddny(Sp) who was a NPC judge at one time. I don't know, but I think he was the first franchise owner of the gym.
I have always been fortunate to have a well equipment home gym and other than Mr. Stern's or Mr. Fisher's gyms I have trained at home. Like I said earlier, San Diego is very rich in training history and I am glad to have seen and experienced some of it
I always look forward to your posts as I learn so much about the history of muscle building here in California.
Be safe and strong,

Thanks, Pat!
The 60's San Diego bodybuilder I referred to earlier was definitely not John McWilliams, but I find it interesting that Mr X and Mr McWilliams possibly had similar leg accidents with a chainsaw.
But I do believe that the Health House owner was the person who promoted those fitness events during some of the summer weekends in the 60's. If I recall correctly Health House was a small beach-front home with small rooms that was converted to a gym.
I know Paul Edney very well. He had the Gold's Gym in Oceanside before he moved to Hawaii and the last time we communicated, he was running a military gym in Afghanistan. Before that he was taking bit parts in various Hollywood movies and appeared as one of the survivors in that highly rated but wierd TV show filmed in Hawaii which I never watched.
The California bodybuilding world was very small back then and I honestly think I have met and shaken hands with way over 70% of the individuals who lifted in earnest back then and over 90% of those individual who published legit bodybuilding and power and olympic lifting magazines including Dan Lauri, Bob Hoffman and John Terpak, Joe and Ben Weider, Bob Kennedy, Jeff Everson (Cory loves me and I'm Jeff's only fan!), Mike Lambert, and Perry and Mabel Raider.
I gotta admit though that meeting each of the above occured over a long period of time when the "gym/lifting/muscle business" was so damn small that we could have all gathered for lunch in a small town McDonald's.
No one back then expected what's happening at present.
But that's the truth of just about everything we take for granted today.
Everything and everybody were so much different way back then!
Thanks again Pat!

T NATION: It seems like some people were writing about steroids in the '40s, but it wasn't until the late '50s when they were introduced to athletes.
RR: They weren't writing about them in the iron game in the 1940s. Paul de Kruif wrote The Male Hormone in 1945, singing the praises of Methyltestosterone and Testosterone replacement for those medically in need. There were some inklings about, "Well, what could it do for a healthy person?"
I know Irvin Johnson [who later changed his name to
Rheo Blair] had possession of Nilivar between 1956 and '58
, when it just came out.

Whoohh I havnt been on Getbig in around a month or so, didnt realize all this action that has taken place on this thread.
I'll read through and digest it all. Thanks to stunt movie and everyone else for taking the time to tell these stories!!!
When you think about it we are a small "sub culture" for lack of a better term. You guys that experienced this stuff first hand are an excellent source of info and there are those of us that do like to hear how it all went down. Thanks again!

Thanks for your comments, Pac and Former. I'll do my best to continue but at the moment I'm pressed for time due to family matters and the pending holiday season.
But .... one of Ed Corney's original training partners has asked me to write about those days in Northern California and tell the tales about Mallard Williamson of MLO fame, Mike Dayton who hung himself frequently, Jack Dillinger, Ralph Countryman, Bob's Gym in Fremont, and others .... and then continue on concerning his association with the So Cal contingents.
But before that I should mention the days of Pearl, Wayne Bouvier, Don Howorth, Pete Lupus, Gene Mozee, Norm Marks, Reg Park, Reg and Sheri Lewis, Arti Zeller, John Corvello, Larry Scott. Bill McArdle, Bill Smith, Arnold, Franco, Draper, Zane, Paul Anderson, etc., etc.
(Jott'n all the above down for memory notes)
Any questions regarding these old days and old 'lifters' would be appreciated. I'll answer them if I can and won't if I can't. I'm bad at recalling dates so correct me if you can catch me reporting incorrect time periods.
More later if the interest continues.

Stuntman: Driving down from San Jose (after the long Thanksgiving) took a quick side trip to visit the Unk's in West Hollywood. Only saw one, the other was in Pago Pago. The one in Hollywood was not too familiar with San Diego/Oceanside gyms..didn't ask why.. Though he thought the Marine base backed some BB'ing/lifting shows around there. The Unk's mostly did their deeds in LA/beach/Valley. The Valley had quite a few lifters among some of the biker gangs(and want to be's) in the 60-70's. Usually started when doing joint time and carried through to the outside, but no more weights in prison anymore. Told that Don Howorth (extra wide delts, great arms) got messed up with the Angels or Mongols, running smack and did a little joint time himself. Any truth to that I wonder?
Didn't get to go by the Rossmore Arms. Vine St becomes Rossmore after it crosses Melrose Ave. The apartments are across the street from the Catholic church, so you could do a Google/Microsoft street view if wanting to see how they look. I lived about three blocks away (with a former girlfriend) from that area for a short while. Sorry about the pic.
Heard that there was a famous BB'er by the name of Chuck Spies (spelling totally wrong I bet), from NoCal who became a preacher. Later hung himself over a teen age girl? Exceptional strong guy. True story?
Keep the good stuff up, I'm somewhat a student of most history. Some of those names you bring up, I haven't a clue, but all interesting .

JPM and anyone else who may be interested,
San Jose! WOW! . As a kid I used to drive with my dad down to San Jose and have lunch on the train depot bench . And that was just about all there was of much interest in San Jose back then.
Driving back north after that short lunch-stop wed pass dozens of small shacks along the road selling cherries.
And on some occasions wed take the Skyline Road route back to the city of San Francisco and stop off at the Peanut Shack (Peanut Farm?) and have a cold bottle of Coca~Cola while my dad has his normal Four Roses and 7-Up.
That place was only there due to the proximity of Stanford University and its faculty and underage students mostly.
Im surprised you didnt drive east for an hour or so and pick up Highway 5 for the straight shot into Los Angeles once youre over the Grapevine.
You took the long but more picturesque route but its good to see that you made it to your designation in West Hollywod.
Your uncle is correct about the Camp Pendleton lifting/BB events we held back then.
And I also spent a lot of time in the Valley, but those were the days when that entire Valley was mostly large and small scale horse ranches where the stunt guys kept their ponies and practiced falling on the weekends in an effort to be ready for their next movie gig.
You uncles might recall a TV show called, Spin and Marty (a Disney Production if I recall correctly) and in that show there was an old sway-back horse who appeared in just about every episode.
One of the stunt guys I associated with back then owned that old sway-back horse and retired him once that TV series was over.
He bought that horse the nicest, green grassed field he could find and put him out to pasture.
That old horse made him enough money to retire himself in a decent ranch-house abode right next door to his old horses place.
We used to go out there and work the horses and many of those horses made their initial appearances in The Virginian and How the West Was One, but as far as I know not a one of them got screen credits neither above or below the title.
Im proud to say that I knew a good number of those old horses before they hit the silver screen!
I never did meet Trigger though!
Ask your uncles if they do recall those good old days and if they can recall Spin and Marty and that old sway-backed horse that every Disney kid grew to love.
The stunt guys owned their own bar on Ventura Boulevard back then and there was always some wild-assed thing going on in that place. And most of the stunt guys had their own Harleys and those are probably more than likely the 'gangs' your uncle remembers. I dont recall any Hells Angels stopping by to pay a visit, but it wouldnt have been unlikely. They surely would have been welcomed with open arms and maybe an occasional punch in the nose .... but always followed by a round of 'cheer' for one and all.
Many drinks were on the house after a few tough guys hit the floor but ...... No-one ever left that place without a shit-load of new found friends. (Especially if you rode a bike!)
(I think I told the story about all the stunt guys barrowing all the necessities from the studios which were closed on weekends .. and making motorcycle movies of their own and then returning all the gear back to its proper place before everyone showed up back to work on Monday morn. I was the dead guy on the highway more than once. I also kind of recall telling the story about my visit to Errol Flynns love-nest-pad long after he had passed away and meeting with his son and the top stunt guys in the biz to plan for next weekends shoot.)
Those were damn good days and times well spent.
AND YES! I did know Don Howorth. Not well but we did cross baths on a few occasions. He was known for having the biggest delts in the business and always showed up at various functions wearing long sleeve cashmir sweaters.
I dont have personal knowledge about his past incarceration but I believe he was arrested while transferring drugs from one place to another while he was a member of some motorcycle club.
Thats hearsay though.
And Chuck Sipes! Yep, I met him also but I dont recall the circumstances and anything I say about Chuck here is based on fading memory banks, so dont rely on this as the Gospel truth!
If I recall correctly, Chuck was from Ione, California and a friend of mine once told me that Chuck worked for the Preston School industry as a counselor for misguided kids. And that job even-tually led to a counselor with the Stockton Youth Authority.
He was a great water-skier and sailor and ran the 100 year dash in Modesto Jr College. (All this information from someone who knew Chuck at that time.)
Regarding Chucks death, there are a couple of conflicting stories one or both of which may be true. I do know old timers who knew Chuck pretty well and I plan on giving them a call to get the facts.
Next post Im hoping to get back on track and restart my memory in some form of historically accurate order; but first I gotta reread this stuff to see where I left off.
If interested Stand by to stand by. Or as the old saying goes Hurry up and wait! or Duck down! I think I heard a shot!.

I GOTTA ADD THIS about the Stunt guys back then ....
I don't know how it is today but back then the Stuntmen were the movie industry heros.
If some big shot movie personality was having some personal or well publicized problems, the studio head would more than likely call on one of the stunt guys to quietly solve the problem because these guys were reliable, dependable, and tough as shit. And they also knew how to keep their mouth shut when things got a bit too out of hand.
I was never involved in one of those 'out of hand' excursions but I was involved in a few that the present day Paparazzi would pay me enough for a great retirement., but the only Paparazzi back then was an old lady and her nemesis who would send you a complimentary dinner at the Brown Derby if you ever ratted someone out!
On one occasion that I can speak of ... I actually held an OSCAR (that Academy Award statue) in my hands in order to prevent it from being used as a murder weapon .... or an attempt of using it as such.
Just wanted to say that if the studio heads wanted any situation to be handled properly in an effort to save the reputation of a big screen star, they'd call my best friend first and then some big time detective if he and his friends were up in the hills making motorcycle movies with 'barrowed stuff'.
My hat is off to all you guys and gals! I know you're reading this to see if I "impolitely" mention you .... and if and when I fuck up!
And to make tis somewhat bodybuilding related , the only movie persons who resembled a bodybuilder back then was Bill Smith and Woody Strode but definitely nothing like the pros today.
Bill Smith below .... Gotta find a good pic of Woody.

William/Bill Smith was said to be a top arm wrestling guy. And pretty impressive doing heavy reverse BB curls. Worked out at Gironda's for quite a few years. Robert Blake worked out there about the same time.. Smith was the king of "B" biker movies for awhile. Told he spoke Russian and some other languages very well when in the Air Force. Could have been a "A" list action star but rumored to have a drinking problem.
Yeah stuntmen were known to be off the wall, a rare breed. Lots of time on their hands. Gironda was a stuntman, as was his father before him. A few stunt women were known to out drink some of the stuntmen. In the old days stuntmen used to dress like women to take their falls, fights, etc. Westerns gave the stuntmen an the opportunity to get a good paying job. If you could ride a horse (goes for any actor also) you got a gig. Later on it was bikes.
Did find out that Chuck Spies was an excellent bencher and all around strongman. Bending iron bars, etc. Guess he really did hang himself after leaving his wife for that teenage girl. The girl did leave him after awhile herself. Reason he took his own life I have been told. Also heard that Howorth was more a mule than an actual member of any gang. Easy money if you got the balls. Quite a few biker clubs/bars in The Valley. Mexican, black, white trash and even mixed bloods. Lot of AK47's out and about the Valley these days. No gang has actually used any, yet.
Driving home from San Jose I go south to Gilroy, than east on the Pacheco Pass to the 5. South on the 5, over the Grapevine, where I usually take the 210 east to the 15, all the way home to Escondido. This time I took the 5 straight thought from the Grapevine to Burbank, Glendale and than Hollywood. Present day San Jose is one very cool place. Sunnyvale, Los Gatos, Mountain View, Campbell, etc all included. If you like hot Asian women, like in San Diego, that's where you want to be.

JPM, I don't recall having ever met Bill Smith personally but I had heard his name mentioned a number of times around the Universal lot before he became known for his role in Rich Man. Poor Man.... but those Grade "B" motorcycle movies you mentioned might possibly have been the very same motorcycle movies the guys were making on their weekend days off with the ' borrowed equipment ' from the studio/studios.
I was involved on a very very small scale, but I never did see one of those bike flicks which eventually were shown as 2nd features in drive-in theaters and also shown throughout the Far East. But now that you mentioned that BILL SMITH was in them, I might be able to do some research on IMDB.com and look for my Academy overlooked scene as the dead guy on the pavement.
I don't know if you recall THE VIRGINIAN TV series, but a lot of the stuntmen and women got their start on that show thanks to Jim Drury who starred in it with Doug McClure and others. I was sometimes used as the dummy whose head was used to test the break-a-ways (bottles made from sugar if I do recall) to make sure that they did break-a-way when the camera rolled.
I also got hit by a few chairs in a wild west set but didn't feel a thing. Never did appear on that series though.
Sorry! Getting off track once again .... but Bill was strong and did train at Vince's as you stated.
As for Woody Strode ....l'm not sure he lifted. I think he was mostly 'genetics', but I could be wrong.

Woody Strode played football at UCLA. Though I may be wrong, I believe he was an All American at the time (1950's?) and played end (that's what they called it way back than). Remember because I took a high school recruiting trip up to Westwood my senior year. His picture and honors were on the wall. Believe also he wrestled a bit (Pro). Impressed me at the time because he was in one of my favorite classic westerns (The Professionals) and had seen him in other flicks. Doubt if he lifted, just one of those natural muscular men. Lifting for any sport (back in his day) was taboo by coaches.
Keith should know about arm wrestling and Bill Smith. Don't know Smiths age but he must be close to 70 now.
Your probably right about making those weekend productions on borrowed equipment.They could make a lot of money with the drive-in people, which a lot of was down south. Lot of stuff had locations in the Newhall/Saugus ares of the north valley way back than. Outdoor/indoor porno film said to have been started out there. Even in the Hollywood hills and the canyons around there I have been told. Still a somewhat a lonely & rugged area even now.

BILL SMITH: If you are reading this, I was Jack Tyree's best man at his second wedding in LV. I believe you remember Jack. (Stunts Unlimited or Stuntman's Association with Jim Drury and "The Virginian" TV crew) . Jack passed away while filming a jump for "The Sword and the Sorceror". His first wedding was held in the 'diving tank' on the Universal lot. I was asked to be best man in that wedding also but I was in the USMC participating in a war someplace. It would be interesting to hear those early day back lot stories if you would want to contribute. I'm not sure, but I don't think I've ever had the opportunity to shake your hand back then. Thanks if you can contribute to this 'discussion'.

Rheo Blair Supplement Brochure:
This primary document is the complete text (minus size/price options and contact information) of a supplement handout Rheo Blair produced sometime between the late 1970's and 1983. It was a two sided 8.5 X 11 piece. This brochure contains only a portion of the supplements he produced and sold under his label. The others he offered only to his private clients as those supplements were typically more specific and expensive. His Amino Acids in free form are the best (and most expensive) example. In 1978, a 1000 capsule bottle sold for $572. He also offered individual amino acids, individual B vitamins, etc. This list also does not contain his protein powders of which there were many public and private versions over the years, the latter more expensive, not white in color, and available exclusively to his private clients. These latter were often mixed in his office by him or an assistant when a private client dropped by to make a purchase. When someone tells me Rheo Blair's protein is/was/may become available by certain parties, my reaction is always "Really? Which formula?" I have yet to get an answer to that question. But that is a subject for a future discussion. Back to the supplements. In reading these descriptions, one senses both his nutritional genius and his marketing savvy.
"Theyre not made just to have something to sell! In the beginning they were made for my own personal use and shared with my very close friends. They are shared more widely now as celebrities and physical culture champions and their friends experience outstanding results when these formulas are combined with the BLAIR PROGRAM.
Blair formulas combine the best in body cell nutrients proven helpful in our own researches over 32 years and the work of medical centers, hospitals and universities here and abroad. We work exclusively with individual people so we are interested in results, that is, better physical efficiency through effective nutrition. An athlete must have a healthy heart, a bodybuilder an efficient liver function, an actor or other artists a well-nourished brain and nervous system. Whether were working with a sports personality or a T.V. celebrity, the Blair supplements are the best we know how to make to supply organ cell nutrients and other body cell nutrients to support the nutrition of those who are looking for the best!
Three capsules a day supply 1,695 mg. of ALL the B-Complex factors, offered in what we consider proper and balanced proportions. Balanced in lipotropic factors, choline and inositol, which we feel may be important to proper liver function. Includes extra factors to assist assimilation, in easy-to-swallow capsules for quick dispersion in the stomach.
Our unusual lipotropic formula, high in factors that assist the handling of lipids (fats). Two capsules contain 1,150 mg. choline bitartrate, 150-mg. calcium pantothenate, 60 mg. pyridoxin (B-6), 250 mg. inositol and 30-mg. para-aminobenzioc acid (PABA). Should be used with
Blairs B-COMPLEX to maintain the important balance among B-family factors.
This is an extract requiring many pounds of whole, raw beef liver, thoroughly chopped and pressed under great pressure, leaving only a grey solid mass and the extracted juice which is then quickly vacuum- dried and encapsulated. Each capsule offers 500-mg. of liver fractions, processed at low temperature and tested salmonella-free. Contains only the extracted water-soluble nutrients for which liver itself is famous, offered in free-form, ready for almost immediate absorption in the blood.
Chelated iron, plus other chelated minerals including copper, manganese, Zinc, etc. in what we consider the proper proportions. Each capsule supplies 1,000 mcg. Of biotin as well as Vitamin B-12 and ten other important nutrients to give a synergistic action beyond reproach. Youll be pleased with this unusual hematinic, mineral formula.

IOCEN Natural
, organic iodine extreacted from the sea vegetable DULSE and offered in a medicine-dropper bottle for easy Administration. Adequate iodine intake is important to support thyroid function.
A natural raw crude lecithin. Each three capsules contain 3,600 mg. Soya lecithin offering 102 mg. choline, 54 mg. inositol, 1,440 mg. linoleic acid and 9 mg. linolenic acid all as naturally occurring in raw, crude lecithin.
CALCIUM P-f and CALCIUM PLUS
This pair of calcium formulas contains vitamin C, Vitamin D and hydrochloric acid for a synergistic action which aids in calcium metabolism. NO bone meal, NO egg shell & phosphorus-free. These formulas contain calcium from three different natural (food salt) sources (citrate, gluconate and lactate) and like most Blair supplements are offered in easy-to-swallow capsule form rather than the common hard-to-swallow tablets which may not dissolve and therefore may never release their valuable nutrients. CALCIUM PLUS is the non- constipating form and may help irregularity. CALCIUM P-F is for those who have no elimination problem.
Each capsule contains 6 minims or 360 milligrams of fractions from Crude germ oils which we feel play a significant role in a whole nutritional program. SOYBRO offers these fractions in convenient capsule form. Blair students who have the budget for it take as many as 30 of these capsules daily. A 14-to-1 fractionation (one unit of SOYBRO offers the fractions available in fourteen units of the whole oils) from crude rice germ oil, crude wheat germ oil and crude Soya germ oil to furnish essential lipids without excess fats.
A truly natural Vitamin A. Each perle contains 10,000 U.S.P. units of Vitamin A from fish liver oil.
Only pure natural and organic Cod Liver Oil from natural sources. Four capsules daily furnish 40 minims of natural Cod Liver Oil, offering 5,000 U.S.P. units of Vitamin A with 540 U.S.P. units of Vitamin D.
A super-strength Vitamin C providing 500 milligrams per tablet. If an average orange contains 30 milligrams of Vitamin C, then one of these tablets would offer the C from over 15 oranges! Coal tar free, synthesized from natural food sources by deep-vat fermentation process. Special-shaped tablet for easy swallowing.
PLUS The most active bioflavonoids that money can buy! Each capsule contains 500-mg. Lemon bioflavonoids with hesperidin, 50 mg. rutin and 150 mg. Vitamin C.
400 All-natural Vitamin E derived from vegetable oils, providing 400 I.U. d-alpha tocopherol, plus mixed tocopherols (delta, beta, gamma) which have been found to be important anti-oxidants. Also Available in E-100 and E-200 strengths."

Document: Blair's Protein Way of Life
this is from an original copy which I am in possession of. Rheo Blair was single-handedly responsible for "inventing" the protein powder supplement and bringing it to the public in the early 1950's. Needless to say, he spawned an enormous industry. So, he is known first and foremost for his protein powders, of which there were many versions over the years. The "Protein Way of Life" is something Rheo Blair came up with to give to his many customers who purchased the powders that they might have available to them a complete set of instructions on the PROPER ways to use his protein supplement, which was critical in order for it to be most effective. To just buy the powder and then mix it with whatever and whenever was useless. To achieve results, there were many specific "hows" and "whens." This document details those. It had to be mixed with certain things, i.e. milk and cream, in certain proportions. It had to be consumed in small quantities throughout the day, everyday. This could become monotonous -- believe me, I know this from personal experience. So there are variations on flavoring options, with or without fruit, shake or pudding, etc. When people followed the steps outlined in this document, WITH the rest of his program -- supplements, sleep, hydrotherapy, specific dietary guidelines (though the protein accounted for MOST of one's diet when working with Rheo) and modest exercise, the results obtained were dramatic and sometimes almost unbelievable. Please note regarding this latter that it was just as important to fully follow the rest of his system as it was to use the protein supplement in the proper manner if one wanted results -- CW.
How to mix the protein drink
A man normally uses the 1/3-cup measuring scoop filled level with Blair's Instant Protein (or the 1/4-cup scoop filled heaping) mixed with a glassful of liquid. A lady normally uses the 1/4-cup scoop filled level. Using the blender, a man mixes four of the 1/3-cup scoopfuls (same as one and one third cupfuls) to the quart; a lady uses four 1/4-cup scoopfuls, or a cupful, to the quart.
The 1/4-cup scoop filled level with protein equals approximately 18 grams of protein; mixed with a glassful of half-and-half it comes to about 26 grams. The 1/3-cup scoop filled level (or the 1/4-cup scoop filled heaping) yields about 24 grams of protein; mixed with a glassful of half-and-half it's approximately 32 grams of protein.
The preferred liquid for mixing the protein is half-and-half, and for a good reason. Nature seems to indicate that protein and fat should be taken in even balance. Milk with 3% protein is balanced with an equal amount of fat. Likewise eggs, meat, etc.
Blair's Instant Protein is extracted from milk and eggs without this normally occurring fat; both eggs and milk were defatted in processing. Whole milk is normally balanced by itself, so if we mix the protein with milk we throw off this natural balance. However, by mixing the protein with half whole milk and half heavy cream we restore some of the fat removed during processing and we achieve a product more normally balanced as to proportions of protein and fat.
Remember, you are not actually drinking half-and-half when you follow this suggestion. The protein with half-and-half makes a "milk" drink which is equivalent to whole milk in the balance of protein and fat. It is thick and creamy because it is concentrated.
The "half-and-half" sold by most dairies is not a true "one half" plus "one half" but it can be used. We prefer to mix our own, using one-half whole milk and one-half heavy (whipping) cream. We recommend using raw milk and raw cream if it is available.
Do not be alarmed that we suggest using cream, for cream is not necessarily fattening for all people. By eliminating from the diet the high carbohydrate foods (those high in starch and sugar) you may find the body uses fats for a superior source of energy. Fats in the diet often tend to burn off accumulated body fat.
This protein drink made with half-and-half is delicious and tasty, especially if you make sure that the milk and cream are VERY COLD!
(For other liquids to use in mixing the protein, see WEIGHT WATCHERS on page five and VARIATIONS, page six <below>)
Additions to the protein drink:
When you wish to flavor the mixture, you may add some vanilla or other favorite flavoring. Whatever flavoring you care to add, Blair's protein always tastes like melted ice cream. Notice that we offer three good flavorings (see Blair's order blank)
If you wish, you may add a raw egg or two to the glassful of protein drink to provide a higher biological value. A whole egg adds about six grams of protein. We recommend that you use the whole egg, both yolk and white, and fertile if possible.
When you wish to make the mixture thicker or more like an ice cream malt, try adding some ice milk cubes. Just put milk or half-and-half in the ice cube tray and freeze. Adding a few cubes to the blender mixture keeps it cold and improves both texture and taste.
For the addition of oils, see VARIATIONS on last page.
The way you get this protein mixture into the stomach is important. Mistakes at this point can spell disappointing results. The protein drink is never to be gulped. It is to be sipped slowly. Some persons should take at least 30 minutes to get the glassful swallowed.
The same goes for milk, which ought always to be sipped slowly, taking fifteen minutes to sip a glassful. To make it easier, use a straw and pinch the end together. This puts milk into the stomach at the same rate a baby does, and that is the best way.
Now, we don't suggest sitting and looking at the drink for thirty minutes! Sip it slowly while you keep busy at other things like getting ready in the morning, working, studying, working out, etc.
You might do as Don Howorth does. First thing in the morning he would mix or pour the protein drink and start sipping. Then he'd shower and sip some more. After shaving, some more. After thirty minutes or so he's ready to sip the last and start the day's work.
This slow sipping is important. Many people I meet do not have the ability to digest foods as efficiently or to metabolize them as readily as they should. Putting foods into the stomach slowly helps to handle them more efficiently.
The way you use water and other liquids can also influence digestive efficiency. Try to get at least eight glassfuls of liquid each day (including your protein drinks). But avoid taking large amounts of water with meals as this may seriously dilute the digestive juices.
Rather, sip water between feedings, taking one or two PEPTAIN HCL tablets to help maintain the level of stomach acids. If you are trying to gain weight, try sipping milk (with Peptain) between meals instead of water.
Take Smaller Feedings
The protein drink makes a full meal; nothing else need be taken with it. It is important that we learn to take small feedings and to take them oftener. That is why we do not recommend three meals a day. Better to take protein snacks slowly all day long, in five or seven (or even ten) small feedings. This tends to encourage more efficient handling of our food. With this discipline we may possibly eat less in volume and still receive more real nourishment.
The stomach is normally the size of the two fists put together. When we are eating small meals, the stomach tends to shrink back to its normal size. For better handling of food, try never to fill the stomach more than 2/3 full. Take only the equivalent of a 6-or 8-ounce glassful in volume at a time.
You may wish to keep a pitcherful of the protein mixture in the refrigerator or carry a thermos so you can have protein available at all times. Sip it as regularly as possible while working or studying. This can take the place of several of your meals or all of them, as you wish. By the way, our 5-cup plastic shaker is very handy to keep a supply of protein ready and sealed at all times.
Those just starting the high protein diet should use smaller amounts to begin with and gradually increase the daily intake over several weeks. This gives the body a chance to increase its efficiency in digestion and assimilation so that it can handle greater amounts of this important life-giving substance.
We have found that when one increases the protein intake he may want to decrease the amount of potatoes and bread and cereals, as well as of salads and vegetables in the diet. These other foods take a secondary place to protein and they should not be allowed to displace protein in the digestive tract.
We feel that some people can handle more protein and handle it more efficiently in the proper length of time when they include an appropriate amount of the protein digestant, Peptain HCL. How much should one use? The more protein, the more digestive assistance one may require. Again, a person's own digestive efficiency determines how much assistance he needs in order to handle protein in good amounts and in the proper length of time.
These busy days some people fall into the habit of missing meals. Some are just not hungry on rising, which could be due to eating too large an amount the evening before. In weight control, missing meals can be serious. Morning is the time the body needs protein more than any other time, after being without food for about twelve hours. It is important to provide protein of good quality early in the day. We feel that ideally never an hour should go by without some protein going into the stomach. Small amounts taken often - this is a valuable secret. But miss meals, never!!

Good post Montague!!
One thing I def do not do is sip a shake slowly but maybe there is something to doing that. If I'm at work or whatever I usually just down it without a second thought.
The company truly was ahead of its time, no doubt!!

Developer - Amper Music, Inc.
Tutorial: collaborating with an AI music producer
Published on Mar 14, 2017
Amper is an artifical intelligence composer, performer, and producer that empowers you to instantly create and customize original music for your content.
Amper Music is an AI music producer that is currently free to use. In this video I show you how to use it!
Amper Music uses intelligent programming to produce original music within a given set of parameters dictated by the user. Each track is unique, though not always great! I played around within the beta program for a while yesterday and was able to get a few good sounding tracks, however, more than that were unusable, at least in my opinion. I do, however, appreciate what is happening when using the program. It is all automated. It happens quickly. Truly incredible.
The best thing about it is that the results are unique and you can use them! I make short videos for one of my projects and I am constantly looking for original music to put in the background. It has to be royalty free. I want it to be unique - not from the youtube music library that everyone has access to - and coomposing an original piece can take too long for how often I need it. This is a great tool for such projects.

According to a survey of 2,000 IT professionals worldwide, cloud computing will "overtaking on-premise computing by 2015 as the primary way organizations acquire IT." IBM developerWorks, conducted the 2010 IBM Tech Trends Survey in August and September 2010 and published the results in early October.
As the following chart illustrates, more than 65 percent expect that the cloud will likely, most likely, or definitely overtake on-premise computing as the way organizations acquire IT by 2015. The survey's margin of error is +/- 2 percent.

OCEAN CITY, Md. - June 30, 2013 --A small plane has crashed into the ocean in Ocean City, and the resort town's mayor says the pilot is presumed dead.
Authorities say the plane went down around 4 p.m., about 500 yards offshore at 133rd Street, about a mile from the Delaware state line. Mayor Rick Meehan says witnesses told police that the aircraft began spinning out of control and crashed into the ocean.
Meehan says it's believed that only the pilot was on board and that there are no survivors.
Maryland State Police spokesman Greg Shipley says divers believe they have located debris from the plane, but they called off the search for the night. They will return to the area in the daylight.
The Coast Guard says it was a single-engine CJ-6A that took off from Ocean City Municipal Airport.

An opinion issued on Aug. 1, 2002, by Assistant Attorney General Jay S. Bybee of the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel held that the federal statute that makes it a crime to commit torture outside the United States should not be read to "apply to the President's detention and interrogation of enemy combatants pursuant to his Commander-in-Chief authority." The opinion further concluded that if the statute did criminalize interrogations ordered by the president, it was unconstitutional.
The memorandum, which has become known as the "torture memo," figures prominently in the ongoing public debate about whether there should be prosecutions of Department of Justice officials or a truth commission to investigate the treatment of detainees by U.S. officials. But as important as the memorandum is to any consideration of the past, it is at least as relevant to any consideration of how to ensure that in the future, the Department of Justice and the executive branch as a whole honor the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution.
Since its inception, the Office of Legal Counsel, the office that issued the torture memo, has played a critical role in ensuring that the executive branch follows the law. Operating as a kind of court within the executive branch, the office rules on the legality of potential executive branch actions. In both Democratic and Republican administrations, the office has understood its mission as making decisions that reflect the best view of the law, without regard for politics. "It is not our function to prepare an advocate's brief or simply to find support for what we or our clients might like the law to be," Ted Olson, who headed the O.L.C. during the Reagan administration, has observed. Rather, the O.L.C.'s duty is to make "the clearest statement of what we believe the law provides and how the courts would resolve the matter."
The torture memo, as well as other important Department of Justice memoranda approving counterterrorism activities, reflected a very different approach. Former Assistant Attorney General Jack Goldsmith, who rescinded the torture memo in 2004, has written that the torture memo and other opinions were "deeply flawed: sloppily reasoned, overbroad, and incautious in asserting extraordinary constitutional authorities on behalf of the President."
Underlying the torture memo and other memoranda was a stunningly broad theory of executive power. "In wartime," the memo states, "it is for the President alone to decide what methods to use to best prevail against the enemy." The memo reflects an approach under which the president even has the power to disregard statutes governing the military or the conduct of war.
This conception of presidential power is at odds with the Constitution. While the drafters of the Constitution made the president the commander in chief of the armed forces, they also gave Congress great powers in military and foreign affairs, including the power to declare war. This constitutional framework is one of shared authority, and governing judicial precedent reflects that understanding. The torture memo ignored all this as its authors single-mindedly pressed an expansive view of presidential power.
What made the torture memo and similar memos authorizing war-related actions by agents of the executive branch even more of a threat to the constitutional order and the rule of law is that they were secret. Congress had no way of knowing that the executive branch was disregarding U.S. law. There are three crucial steps needed to protect the rule of law.
First, as former O.L.C. head Walter Dellinger has suggested, the executive branch needs to adopt and make public a careful statement setting forth its conception of the proper role of the different branches of government with regard to war powers and foreign affairs. Unlike the torture memo, that statement should reflect the balance of congressional and executive power embodied in the Constitution's text, structure and history, as well as judicial precedent. Such a statement would establish a framework for future decision-making. It would help avoid the result-oriented and crisis-driven reasoning reflected in the torture memo, and, by being made public, it would facilitate a needed public debate by allowing Congress the opportunity to respond to the executive branch's conception of its role.
Second, there is a need for greater transparency. While concerns about the protection of classified information are important, Congress cannot defend its powers if it is unaware of what the executive branch is doing. A mechanism for informing Congress while protecting classified information must be established. Dawn Johnsen, President Obama's pick to head the Office of Legal Counsel, has argued passionately during the past few years for the O.L.C. to return to its traditional role, and she has urged passage of a statute that would require the administration to notify Congress whenever it is not enforcing a law because of constitutional concerns. Senator Russ Feingold has introduced legislation embracing this approach.
Third, the O.L.C. must return to its traditional role. Its opinions must reflect straightforward analysis of the law, not advocacy, even when that legal analysis would keep the executive branch from pursuing policies it wants to pursue. The Constitution states, "the President shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." Honest O.L.C. opinions are critical if the president is to satisfy that constitutional obligation.
Our constitutional framework is a wise one. It provides for a strong national defense while it protects individual liberties and the rule of law. The lessons of the past will help us ensure that that framework is honored.
