---- — DERRY — Whether it's recycling or safe ways to pick up after the town's dogs, Derry's Go Green Committee has a solution.
The committee is going strong, spreading its educational messages about all sorts of ways to keep the town and environment safer and greener.
Topics at meetings range from recycling to special events on town conservation lands, to helping keep areas clean and trash free.
Recycling in town is a big topic, according to Go Green chairman Judy Follo.
Derry will be upgrading its transfer station and now is the time to boost the town's recycling efforts, she said.
"We can save money for the town if we put it into recycling," Follo said. "(We need to) get that behavior and good vibe going."
Efforts are put into educating residents and students in the town's schools to show just what materials can be recycled locally.
The state's goal for a community to recycle is 40 percent. Derry comes very close to that number.
"It's something to be proud of," Follow said. "We are doing a good job, but as the transfer station evolves, we need to keep recycling in the forefront."
Ways to keep other forms of waste in the proper place is also a concern for Go Green as it pondered a potential dog waste problem at town-owned conservation land Broadview Farm.
The group will install a sign, reminding people to clean up after their pups when walking the open spaces in town.
"We decided to get a sign for Broadview because that was our concern," Follo said. "We'll start with the sign, pack in and pack out, and go forward from there."
Follo said residents are typically very concerned about keeping their town clean.
More education about additional ways to keep Derry green can be a bonus, especially at areas that are as popular as Broadview Farm.
"An awful lot of people walk their dogs there," Follo said. "This shows a little good faith and it's a start."
Other Go Green plans moving forward include getting a presence at area apartment complexes and sharing information on ways those facilities to get on board with more recycling.
Follo said it's all about spreading the most information possible on topics that deal with the environment and clean living.
"Our mission is to educate," Follo said.
The next Go Green meeting is set for Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. at the municipal center, Room 207.

It covers the mattress, but its not fluffy enough for my taste. The backing has a plastic kind of feel
My kids have wet the bed and the mattress has stayed dry. I wash it and dry it on low heat and it goes back on the bed just fine.
Very happy with this purchase. It fit our king size pillow top mattress perfectly. It is not difficult to get on and it does not move or come off. It is soft and thick, feels good under the fitted sheet, no noise at all.
This Waterproof Cotton Pad feels more like 100% pure cotton. No heating up and no sweating. Cam absolutely recommend it!!!
It looks exactly like what I wanted and the price wasn't bad either.
Got these for a 16 bed lodge where many different people sleep. We had the plastic ones, but they are really warm and make a noise when you are sleeping on them. These are much better. Haven't washed them as yet so will find out how they hold up.
Very nice mattress pad. Fits my queen size bed well.
Product was ok but i felt a little let down in its texture!
its a mattress pad ......is what it is ! price was right
It's definitely breathable and not crinkly like other waterproof mattress pads. Have not yet put the 'waterproof' to the test; it doesn't look much different than a normal cotton mattress pad. The sides are definitely not waterproof, but sheer and thin. The (queen size) measurements are about an inch short in each direction. If you want excellence, you really do have to pay the price for it.

The Associated Press
DECATUR, Ga. —
A DeKalb County Superior Court judge denied bond for a 13-year-old girl facing a murder trial following the death of her 2-year-old half-sister.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/UA81au ) reports Judge Mark Anthony Scott says the teen poses a significant threat if she is released. The teen's attorney asked for the girl to be released to her great-grandmother.
Scott says the court needs more information on circumstances that led up to the attack, and plans for protecting the girl's great-grandmother if the teen is released. The court may grant the teen another opportunity at bond.
Authorities arrested the girl in November after they say she stabbed her sister in her chest.
The teen has been charged as an adult, but The Associated Press does not identify juveniles accused of crimes.

HOUSTON – Does baby know best? More parents today are allowing their kids dictate when they start eating solid food in a growing trend called baby-led weaning.
There are so many different aspects of baby weaning, but the part that is getting a lot of attention is when babies bypass puree foods and start eating table foods: everything from shellfish to steak. Do you agree? KHOU 11 News' Mia Gradney has more.

|Pregnancy Week (Select):
Boy or Girl? 20 Old Wives Tales Gender Predictions
Below are a list of old wives tales we were able to find – if you have any you would like to add, email us and we may add them to the list!
Old Wives' Tale #1 – Linea Nigra
Latin for 'black line', a linea nigra may appear on your belly during pregnancy. This is a purple/brownish line which extends down the middle of your belly to your pubic area, about 1cm in width. It's known that hormones cause the linea nigra pigmentation, but it's not known why it forms in the vertical line that it does.
The old wives tale is this – if you get a línea nigra and it runs from your pubic area to your belly button only, it's a girl, and if it goes all the way up from your pubic area to the bottom-most part of you rib cage, then it's a boy.
Old Wives' Tale #2 – Carrying High or Low?
This is a well known old wives tale – so many people will want to look at your belly and think they can guess just from looking! So as the tale goes, if you are carrying low, it's a boy, or if you're carrying high it's a girl. We wont tell them that the way the baby is carried is actually a reflection of your own body shape, muscle, baby's position and other physical factors.
Old Wives' Tale #3 – The Draino Thingo
There is an old wives tale that involves mixing your urine with Draino resulting in the Draino changing colour. Not only is this false, but Draino is dangerous and very bad for the environment, so we don't recommend this one.
Old Wives' Tale #4 – Is Your Skin Dry or Soft?
If your skin is dry, you're said to be having a boy – and if it's soft, then a girl is on the way.
Old Wives' Tale #5 – What's Baby's Heart rate?
They say that if you're carrying a girl, your baby's heart rate will be above 140bpm (beats per minute). A boy is said to have a heart rate under 140bpm. However, a study published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine (1996) has dismissed this theory, as has other research. Your baby's heart rate will change often during a pregnancy, depending on the baby's age and it's movement. Anything from 120-160bpm is normal for an unborn baby.
Old Wives' Tale #6 – Your Flowing Locks
Has your hair become thinner and dull? Or full-bodied and glossy? Thin and dull says you're having a girl, gorgeous and glossy says a boy.
Old Wives' Tale #7 – Where Are You Carrying Extra Weight?
Even those extra pregnancy kilos are said to provide an insight into your baby's gender! If you are carrying extra weight at the front, then you're having a boy… but if you are carrying extra weight on your bum and hips, then you have been carrying a girl. What about dad-to-be? If he's gaining weight with you, apparently you're having a girl. If he's put on no weight, a boy for you!
Old Wives' Tale #8 – Numbers…
If you combine your age at the time of conception with the number of the month you conceived and the resulting number is odd – then it's a girl on the way. If the resulting number is even, then it's a boy for you.
Old Wives' Tale #9 – Sweet, Salty or Sour?
Another well known old wives tale! Are you craving sweet foods like juice, fruits and chocolate? if so, old wives say that you could be having a girl. But if you're craving sour or salty foods, then you could be having a boy. It's also said that if you are having a boy, you will crave protein like meat and dairy. I have trouble believing this one because I think by now we'd be overrun with a population of females – chocolate, yum!
Old Wives' Tale #10 – Wedding Ring Test (AKA Needle Or Pin Test)
Get your wedding ring (or other ring / a needle / a pin) and attach it with a strand of your hair or some string. Lie down and dangle the ring over your belly. If it starts moving in circles, you are having a boy, or if it moves like a pendulum from side to side, then you are having a girl.
Old Wives' Tale #11 – Got Morning Sickness?
Did you experience morning sickness in early pregnancy? If you did, then you're said to be carrying a girl, but if you didn't have morning sickness, then it's a boy. Oh! That one was actually true for me!
Old Wives' Tale #12 – How About Those Cold Feet?
If your feet get colder than they used to pre-pregnancy, it's a sign you have a boy on the way. If your feet are the same, then it's a girl!
Old Wives' Tale #13 – How Do You Look?
Do you look better than ever while pregnant? Or has the pregnancy done your looks no favours? As it goes, if you look great during pregnancy, then you are carrying a boy. If you don't look too flash, you're having a girl, because she's stolen all your good looks!
Old Wives' Tale #14 – The Breast Test!
If you look in the mirror at your breasts, which one is larger? If it's the right one, you're carrying a boy and for a larger left breast, then it's a girl. Which only leaves one question… if your breasts are both the same size, does that mean one of each? I'll leave you with that to ponder!
Old Wives' Tale #15 – North or South?
When you sleep, is your pillow north or south? If it's north, then expect a boy, or south means a girl is on the way.
Old Wives' Tale #16 – Pimples, Schimiples…
If you get acne during pregnancy, apparently you're having a girl, and if you don't, then you're carrying a boy. Want to know the real reason you get acne? Check out our article, Acne During Pregnancy.
Old Wives' Tale #17 – Are You A Lefty or a Righty?
When you sleep, do you sleep on your left? Because if you do, then it's a boy for you! On your right, a girl is in sight. It's actually much better for you to sleep on your left side while pregnant – read more here.
Old Wives' Tale #18 – Check Out Your Wee!
Okay…. now apparently if you have bright yellow urine, then you're carrying a boy, but if it's dull / clear, then you're carrying a girl. On a serious note though, if you have dark urine, up your water intake as you are likely dehydrated or not drinking enough water.
Old Wives' Tale #19 -What Does Your Belly Look Like?
A basketball or a watermelon? Because if it looks more like a basketball, then old wives say boy, but if it more resembles a watermelon then it's a girl.
Old Wives' Tale #20 – Hairy Legs?
Has the hair on your legs grown faster than normal? Or has it grown just like normal? Because if it's growing faster than it did pre-pregnancy, then you're said to be having a boy.
Take a Guess!
After all, you have 50% chance of getting it right! In fact, it's likely to be even more than that. In doing my research, I came across an article which said a study was done on mother's guessing the gender. The women (who didn't yet know their baby's sex), guessed the correct sex of their baby 71% of the time. Not bad!!!
These are all old wives tales only and we take no responsibility for their accuracy!!!

I'm pretty much a newbie to the iron game (started about when I joined this site). I'm an engineer and a med student, but I love sports, all kinds of sports. I'm in it because I love it, I don't have the genes either to bodybuild or powerlift, but I still go in and train hard every week. I started training with a typical bodybuilding split, then turned to starting strength which I really liked, tried texas method but never looked forward to going to the gym when I did it so I dropped it quickly, then went for an upper/lower split, which I love.
This year was terrible compared to last year though. I had the time of my life in Prague, but I got badly injured (shoulder and back), detrained almost completely and got really sick a few times ( mono once, gastro once). I've been rehabbing since I've been back and trying out new stuff, I'm getting a feel for what works for me and keeps me healthy. Don't have much to offer the forum outside my knowledge of biology, but I hope I can one day have pics/strength to share.
My stats:
165lbs, started as a really small phaggot, (pics in the next posts), still am really skinny.
15+%bf I guess, always higher than we think hehe.
I don't have huge goals.
For the summer, I want to cut (I realize how skinny I am) because I want to learn the discipline of dieting.
I'd like to make strength gains during my cut. Strength gains don't come easy to me (neither do size gains), but I don't care. I just want to make progress, however small, every time I go to the gym. If I gain only 20lbs on my bench in 1 year, I honestly can say I don't care that much. Over 10 years that's 200lbs hehe. I train because it's one of the most enjoyable things I've done and do in my life (for all the partying, travelling in 20 different countries, sleeping around, night outs, etc. my little experience in training still ranks at the top). It's crazy how much I love planning workouts, thinking of new ways to get better, etc.
For the year, i want to go through bulking and cutting periods. Learning how to properly gaining mass (but not too much) and cutting the fat during the summer.
I'd like to get to a 405lbs deadlift. It's not a huge deal in the strength world, but to me, with my lower back and my total lack of sports experience before I started lifting, it is.
I'd like to find what I respond to in training: the right volume/rest. I like to do a lot of volume and a lot of work, it might be hurting my progress, so I'll try both a cycle of high volume, and a cycle of lowered volume.
And basically, I just want to be athletic and strong, my program reflects that I think. Maybe in the long term I'll do a powerlifting meet, we'll see.
Outside the gym, I hope I become passionate about my future career as a doctor. I can already feel it'll be the case though as I've loved my pre-med classes up to now. I want to continue travelling, do some humanitarian work (mostly to visit exotic countries, I'm not delluded into thinking I can make a difference lol, though I'll try), continue having friends, dunk a basketball (can almost jump to rim level), do a backflip, learn to breakdance LOL, learn a few languages, maybe settle down with someone for real this time, almost did before I came back to Canada.

250 ml Milk
1 scoop Protein powder
2 Eggs
1 serving Spaghetti whole wheat
2 TBS low fat Parmesan
250 ml Milk
1 scoop Protein powder
Fiber One 14 0 6 1
150 g EL ground beef (3 oz 20g protein, 10g fat)
TBS Olive Oil
150g EL Ground Beef
TBS Olive Oil
1 chicken breast
TBS Peanut butter
Fish Oil
80gs fat
120gs carbs
200gs protein
Here's a pic of a huge 120lbs or so of myself.
Then, me at 165lbs, back shot.
About 1 year difference.

Tried a Smolov cycle, really helped my front squat. I was doing 185lbs times 1 coming back from Prague (HORRIBLE condition/strength/fat gain). Got 225lbs x 3, pretty happy about that. Doing some shoulder rehab as well
Now, will go back to an upper/lower split. Some speed, strength, hypertrophy work. Will decide on goals when I stop my cut. For now, just get into shape for when school starts.

Training today was real easy. Just squat technique work, deadlift technique work.
Last edited by K-R-M; 08-01-2011 at 11:50 PM.
Small update.
Training going well considering the calorie deficit. Hit a wall in my cut, so cut down on the calories even more. Honestly, I'm pretty damn skinny right now and don't have good ab genetics, but I figure it'll get better as I gain mass. Will continue for 4 weeks still (been 8 weeks now) and I'll be happy. Lost about 12lbs, didn't lose strength (gained a LOT actually, compared to where I was coming back to Canada).
Two vids of recent training:
This was 405 on 4.75". Had more, but had trained too much lately and my hips were shot from doing crossfit stuff the day before (not into crossfit btw, but some friends are).
Training for today, helped out a friend with his squat form, so my training went from about 1h15 to I don't know how long.
Warm up:
Glute ham raises
3 x 10 x BW
Front squats
7 x 5 x 170lbs
Sumo rack pulls (a bit less than 3 inches)
warm up
1 x 315
1 x 365
Fail twice @ 405 (thought I had it, will attempt 385 next week)
1 x 315 (felt like the heaviest 315 of all time lol)
was destroyed after those two 405 attempts
SSB squats (never tried these, was still destroyed from deadlifts)
3 x 5 x bar+1pps (got up to 2pps but reps felt heavy)
Liked this a lot, I'm going to add them, but I can't see myself dropping front squats, we'll see how I'll add these. Maybe just 2-3 sets of high reps.
Glute bridges (from Contreras, first time trying these)
2 x 12 x 225
wow, good exercise, never felt glutes like this
Back ext:
Lots of reps with some weight behind my back.
I weight 152lbs now LOL at 5'10". Jesus.
Reduced fat for calories. Will see how it goes this week, if I don't see notable improvement, will go to overdrive for three weeks and remove carbs for breakfast. Training will take a hit though I'm sure, will add in refeeds.

Nice pulls. I was laughing at the jazzercise going on behind you in the second vid.
Be careful with dropping calories after coming to a stall. I never dropped my calories below 2500 on my cut, down from 4000 while bulking. I'd look into refeeds instead of just cutting calories right away.
If you start a thread in the diet section I'm sure Behemoth would help you out pretty quickly. Dude knows how to diet and I attribute all of my success last cut to his advice.
Where are your calories at now? Are you tracking calories via measuring cups/scale?
The way Rory looks at things and the way I look at them too is that cutting is all about losing weight at the SLOWEST rate you can accept in order to keep your hard-earned size.
So, you don't want to drop your calories by a 1500 right off the bat. 500-750 is probably best. You also DON"T want to start cardio right away (if you're already somewhat lean). You only want to add cardio/cut calories when the scale hasn't budged for a while. That could be a week or a week and a half, it just depends.
The refeeds help kick up your metabolism and let your body know that you're not, in fact, starving. I did two refeeds during my cut and within a week there was a definite, noticeable loss of fat, both visually evident and evident on the scale.
I already asked Rory a lot of questions lol, the man is a gold mine of information and will go out of his way to help you. This is my first cut, it's been going really well and I attribute A LOT of that success to him.
I track calories through measuring cups. My biggest problems is tracking them for meat, but I found a decent system so there's no variation day to day at least.
I've been stuck for about 2 weeks now, maybe a bit more. I gained back weight and lost a bit during my 3 month rehab coming back from Prague. Then, on June first I started cutting from about 163-165lbs to what I am now (152lbs). I had already slowly upped calories to regain strenth, then slowly dropped them to find maintenance, then dropped again for my cut. I've been at 2000 calories since June 1st basically. I admit I feel if I eat less, I won't feel good.
I rethought about it, talked to some people and cardio + refeeds sometimes might be a better idea than cutting cals even more.
PS: I have to film more, because what those girls were doing was nothing compared to some of the things I see here. Montreal gyms are just... ugh. Also, you gotta reopen your journal, fuck the haters, us n00bs loved it.

Do you play trumpet??
No man, ex-concert pianist.
AM: morning fasted cardio, just 20 minutes of biking, this is my first time doing this. Felt good man. Will work up to 40 minutes abuot 5 times a week.
Morning weight: 68.5kg
First session of the new training cycle, been reading a lot on hypertrophy lately. More emphasis on time under tension, eccentric control and form. Tried some rest pausing today, fucking loved it, workout took less time and I really felt the work. Would love to do DC down the line, so I got 5 years to learn how to train.
Upper body training.
1st session of bench routine:
4 x 7 x 145
DB bench
8 x 75lbs
5 x 75
60lbs 14RP
Tri ext.s
25RP 27.5lbs
DB cheat rows no straps
2 x 12 x 100lbs
Seated cable rows
17RP @ 135lbs
Side and rear delt raises
Abs pulldowns
Ended by doing a Tabata on the way back home. I ride my bike back, so it gives me transportation + good HIIT workout hehe.
Got some Yohimbine HCL by mail, illegal in Canada .

Nice work. DB pressing is awesome for chest. Better than barbell benching by far.
What's the split look like now?
One thing I will say is that dumbbell rows are WAY more effective if you move them back and up near your hip/oblique instead of to the shoulder/chest. You'll feel it way more in your lats doing it that way.
Kinda like that, although I am way more explosive on the positive portion of the lift.
Yeah, I that's how I do them. I cheat them up a bit, but not insanely. It should use straps, but I like the grip work it gives me. I just add in the seated cable rows after to get the feel I want in my back.
It's a Lower/Upper split, looks a lot like a powerlifters routine for the lower body and a bodybuilder's for the upper body. We've got a lot of push/pulls where I live, so I that's why I do a bench/incline every upper session and front squats+deadlifts every lower session (I've never competed though). My program will focus on mass gain come september, but the structure has been the same for a while now. I tweak when I reach plateaus, drop what doesn't work and take notes of what works. I really hate switching programs, I only did it once and it was because it really wasn't giving me anything anymore (starting strength/texas method - though the program was amazing for me).

AM cardio - felt good man - adding Yohimbine tommorow at 3mg.
Lower body workout today. Finished "light" phase of my front squats, going into medium and heavy in the next 4 weeks.
Front squats
10 x 3 x 185
Sumo deadlift, overhand grip, pause each rep. (Tried not squatting the weight up, deadlifted like it was almost a conv. deadlift, but using leg drive to the outside, felt awesome)
20 x 225 (had to stop there, right hamstring felt like it was going to snap and got a MASSIVE headache, next time, 25)
45 deg back extension, weight in front (was shot after deadlifts)
12 x 90 lbs
9 x 90lbs
8 x 90lbs
7 x 90lbs
GHRs (therapeutic, for the hamstring, very light)
3 x 10 x BW
Side bends on 45 deg back raise
3 x 10 x 52,5lbs
Ab to face
just 5 minute of cardio riding bike back home, didn't have the energy to do a tabata (did backflip practice yesterday, then tried to dunk - almost have it - and spent the day renovating)
in other news though, I thought it was funny that chevelle posted this vid:
It's Antoine Vaillant, just saw him train at my gym. Guy's got insane aesthetics, great size for his age, his small waist isn't a joke - widest shoulder to small waist ratio I've ever seen. Was doing some rack pull clusters with 700lbs.

That's a lotttta reps, son.
Had a small workout at the YMCA yesterday. Not sure if I'll ever go there. My usual gym is no nonesense, everyone (or almost) lifts well. Lots of big guys, strongest powerlifter in the province + best up and coming bber in Canada.
AM cardio - took Yohimbine HCL for first time @ 3mg, no sides.
Upper body day - light week - first week of cycle
Incline bench
4 x 8 x 135
Strict DB row from ground, reset each rep (all benches were taken)
10 x 95lbs
Seated DB press
10 x 45lbs
9 x 45
8 x 45
6 x 45
BB tri ext, slow concentric
12 x 80lbs
12 x 80lbs
did a rest pause her ebut didn't note reps
[At this point I had 0 energy or strength left]
BB rows
reps @ 135, was complete shit
Lat pulldowns
DB raises
Had 0 energy, felt bad, so I did a refeed for the day. Ate a bit more than a pound of chicken breast, 88gs of protein from beef jerky, 2 shakes, 4 small pitas, spaghetti, 2 bags of low fat popcorn, 1 cup of basmati rice, 2 pieces of chocolate fudge cake, a few glasses of milk, a glass of mango juice... felt good man.
Felt great today, slept 10 hours, upped the Yohimbine to 4,5mg, woke up 1.5kg heavier, took some pics below of my cut progress. Really happy with the cut progress, I was in horrible shape a few months ago and now I can see abdominal definition for the first time(got to go down real low in bf% to see them). This is my first cut, but I'll be doing them every summer from now on, 4 - 5 months instead of 2-3 next time as well. I feel for the first month or two I can still gain mass, and strength I can gain till the last month or two. For 151lbs @ 5'9 1/2", I think it's decent, with lots of room for improvement in the next year. This was the first time my training was focused on 1 objective (generally, it's all over the place, so is my diet), my next objective will be gaining mass, my program will reflect that this time.
No AM cardio today, had golf classes + had to renovate my house a bit.
Lower body workout
Front squats (I have to video my front squats, they are deep as fuck)
4 x 9 x 170
Sumo Deadlifts, no belt, double overhand grip
5 x 135
5 x 185
3 x 225
1 x 275
1 x 315
Stopped there. 315 went up real easy, but cutting = very quick strength loss. Didn't want to fuck up my back for no reason, I won't gain any strength in the next 4 weeks anyways.
Glute bridges
8 x 225, complete shit, will do them really light for very high reps next week
Very low box squats (just technique work, and getting back into back squatting)
5 x 135
5 x 185
5 x 225
1 x 245
2 x 3 x 225 Felt good, had problems keeping the bar on my back... weird.
Glute ham raises
2 x 15 x BW
Back raises (plate behind head)
15 x 25lbs
15 x 25lbs
Abs on GHR machine (weight behind head)
3 x 15 x 10lbs
Oblique work
PWO cardio: 30 minutes rowing
Good session, nothing fancy, but will have to improve upon this.

DB bench
15RP @ 75lbs
T-bar row

20mins cardio PWO.
Bench press strength always goes doewn it seems when I'm not in a caloric surplus/maintenance. Shouldn't have felt heavy at all as my paused 1RM is 95kgs (about 210lbs). The workout was great though, I've really had a long streak of great workouts. Vascularity was out of this world today. I'm loving the rest pauses and the slow concentrics. My bulk will have less exercises than what I'm doing now, but I'm going to keep following the plan until I finish the cut. I'm doing a few tweaks to my diet, so good stuff coming up I hope.

4-5 weeks should be plenty. I wouldn't go much further than that, tbh. Hell, 3 weeks and you should be good.
I'd guess about 10% or so as your legs are very lean and you have solid ab definition. Would have to see lower back and hams to get a better idea. Best thing is to just go by the mirror and stop when you are happy.
My strength dipped a decent amount during my cut too, but I also was switching up my movements a lot, so who knows how much I really lost and how much was just neural retardation setting in on some of the bigger strength movements. It all bounces back very quickly with a calorie surplus, so I wouldn't worry.
5AM cardio, Yohimbine HCL 8,6mg, 45 minutes.
Morning weight after piss: 67,2kg!!! Holy shit I'm small right now loool.
Lower body session
Front squats
5 x 7 x 180lbs
Sumo deadlifts
5 x 2225
5 x 275
5 x 295
45 deg back raise
3 x 12 x 90lbs (in front)
45 side bend
3 x 10 x 55lbs
Leg to face
Great training session again. This is by no means a PR on deadlifts, but I'm extatic about it for many reasons.
1. Right after a big amount of volume on front squats.
2. Been doing sumo deadlifts since 2 months or so seriously.
3. I'm at something like 148lbs right now (vs 165lbs normally)
4. Coming back, I was so fucked up I couldn't deadlift 95lbs for 1 rep without pain.
5. Every rep paused
6. Double overhand grip. Not hook grip.
7. Caloric deficit (10 weeks in)
8. Slept 3 hours, Renovated the house in the sun all day, went training at 9pm.
Very pleased with how things are going. I look forward to my bulk: I'll start a thread in the nutrition section first though to get some feedback on how to approach it. It'll be an 8 month plan with mini cycles. I think something along the lines of working the lower body like a powerlifter and the upper body like a bodybuilder.
One very important thing I noticed; my work capacity is waaaaaay up since I started doing cardio. Definitely feel very healthy right now.
My strength hasn't really dipped to be honest. It's been going up if anything. Only the bench press (not even the incline) gives me trouble. Where you at right now? Bulking or cutting?
Bulking. Strength is right about where I was at when I was 180 (going off of front squat poundage and pressing weights), but 20 lbs lighter, so I can't complain. The weight gain is coming slowly however, and I'm not necessarily trying to gain quickly, although I need to if I want to cut in June like I'm planning.
Have you looked into a power/hypertrophy split at all? LOTS of natty pros take a similar approach, and it seems to work well. I'm a link you to a few noteable natty logs that use this approach, as well as a cookie cutter split on BB.com that I almost ran with that I thought was very interesting.

Pretty solid split if you ask me. I'd keep the volume to only 2-3 sets on those hyper days, and try to keep it to a 8-9 day rotation, but it's a cool combo of strength and hyper work. Some will disagree, but it is very rare for a dedicated powerlifter to have massive quads. Always have great ham and glute development, but a good set of quads is a rare commodity in PLing it seems.A 10 day strength/hypertrophy rotation.
Day 1: Heavy Upper
Day 2:
Day 3: Heavy Lower
Day 4:
Day 5: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Day 6: Back, Biceps

Day 1 - Heavy Upper.
Bench 3 x 3 or 3 x 5 or work up to a 1RM
Row 3 x 5
OH Press 3 x 5
Day 3 - Heavy Lower.
Squats 3 x 3 or 3 x 5 or work up to a 1RM
GHR 3 x 5
Calves 3 x 6
Days 5-8 All exercises are 2-4 sets of 8-15 reps.
Day 5 - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps.

Calf Work
NOTE: The above routine can also be condensed into the 7 day week for those that can tolerate the workload. Monday and Tuesday would be heavy upper and heavy lower, Wednesday would be off followed by the higher rep work on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Sunday off and repeat. This is based on the training style of Layne Norton. Before you try this however be sure that you can tolerate training 5 days per week, this would be suited to more advanced lifters.
No AM cardio - finished all my renovations.
Upper body session:
Incline BB bench
5 x 5 x 150lbs
Incline DB bench
15RP @ 60lbs
BB row (second time doing these
12 x 135
12 x 145

Pull ups
DB press
20 RP @ 50lbs
Smith machine CGBP
20RP @ 135lbs
Preacher curl
19RP @ 40lbs
20 min stairmaster @ level 11
Great workout again. I've been having a long string of great workouts, with weights/reps going up and it's been showing in the mirror. Work capacity has been higher since I added cardio. Went through all of this in less than 1 hour (except the cardio).
I already got a really good Upper/Lower 4 day routine. I've tried Starting Strength, Westside and 5-3-1 up to now. I know how quick I can gain on a great program (Starting Strength) and how slow I can gain on a bad program (5-3-1). Westside was really good for size gains, but the routine I'm doing has just been constant improvement week after week. I keep what works, drop what doesn't and try new things once in a while. I would rather just hammer my program until there's nothing (if that ever happens) left then switch at the moment. My plan is to look at the moment I stall and play with 1 variable at a time to understand why I stalled. It'll take more time at first, but in the long run I'll be better for it.
My lower days for my bulk will look a bit like this:
1. Squats
Front Squats
Romanian deads / rack pulls / back raises /20 repper
Abs (obliques + anti-flexion)
2. Front squats
Sumo deadlifts
Romanian deads / rack pulls / back raises /20 repper
Abs (obliques + anti-flexion)
Squats will be simple linear progression, front squats I'll continue on Smolov (on my third straight base cycle), and the assistance I'll see according to what I need. Probably 1 day a 20 repper for legs + some back raises, the other day Rack pulls / Romanian deadlifts depending on how I feel training back in my upper days.

As we've done for many years, a group of AOPA staff recently got together to discuss member comments and perceptions. Although the vast majority of member comments are positive, some are not. It has been that way for decades and with AOPA membership around the 400,000 number, there will always be controversy on something we're doing.
It's too bad we didn't have a mechanism, or time to answer the charges, dispel myths, correct misconceptions, and set the record straight without pulling resources from our mission. After all, in decades-old corporate fashion, responses would have to be drafted, vetted, analyzed, reviewed, etc., etc. Way too slow and cumbersome.
Not so now. What I propose is this Blog—"AOPA Sounding Board – An insiders viewpoint." A simple, straightforward look into the reasons behind AOPA's decisions – as I see them.
The Blog will be my response to your questions, concerns, and curiosities. Just me, with nearly 20 years experience at AOPA and 43 years in aviation, responding without editing or corporate review to the stuff that's bugging you about AOPA.
I'll respond to your concerns submitted via this Blog, as well as to concerns from members who call or email our Member Assistance centers. As far as being politically correct – don't bet on it. What you'll get is a straight-up response without the fluff, from an insider's point of view. My intent is not to change your mind. That's your decision. My intent IS to provide you with the facts. You can make your own decision to take them or leave them.
I do have a day job at AOPA that I very much enjoy. So, at least initially, I plan on selecting a topic every two weeks. What do you want me to respond to first? I'm ready. Bring it on.

For their 45th wedding anniversary in 1996, Harold and Mary Cohen travelled to Papua New Guinea. With Harold behind the camera, the couple captured many images of the Papua New Guinea peoples, culture, and landscape. Between September 11th and 13th, the Cohen's flew from Los Angeles, California to Sydney, Australia. From there they travelled to and around Papua New Guinea's mainland and several islands for a total of nineteen days, returning to Buffalo, New York on the 3rd of October.
The Cohen's tour guide was anthropologist Dr. Jan Barter with Melanesian Explorer Tours. During their tour, the Cohen's spent two days at the Goroka Sing-Sing Show, seven nights on the Melanesian Discoverer Island cruise ship, and took a tour of Mount Hagen.

This is due to the original scoring methods used and how negative time trade-off (TTO) values were treated. A revised scoring method has been published. This article applies this to an inflammatory arthritis cohort. The objective is to examine the impact of a revised scoring system for the EQ-5D (UK) TTO on the utility estimates and in the case of rheumatoid arthritis, to explore the impact of using different utility metrics on the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) results of an economic model. Methods A total of 504 patients with inflammatory arthritis were rescored using revised EQ-5D scoring, which uses an episodic random utility model to deal with negative TTO values. Differences in utility scores were compared and the new mapping coefficients were obtained. These were then used in an economic model to examine the impact on the ICER. Results In rheumatoid arthritis, the overall change is less for the revised EQ-5D scoring than with the original EQ-5D (TTO) but greater than the SF-6D: EQ-5D UK ?0.22 (95% confidence interval [CI] ?0.30 to ?0.15), revised EQ-5D UK ?0.16 (95% CI ?0.21 to ?0.10) and SF-6D ?0.08 (95% CI ?0.11 to ?0.05). A similar trend is seen in the psoriatic arthritis group. The economic model produced different ICERs, when different utility measures were used; EQ-5D (TTO) ?42,402, SF-6D ?111,788, and revised EQ-5D (TTO) ?57,747. Conclusion In the context of inflammatory arthritis, this article demonstrates that a revised scoring for EQ-5D may have a significant impact on utility estimates and on the output of the economic model.

Why ruby
Hi, I'm currently a php programmer. One question that I always want to do, why should I learn Ruby. Is it better than PHP?

They, like all Turing-equivalent languages, are functionally equivalent. You can do everything Ruby can do in PHP, and you can do everything PHP can do in Ruby. Neither is better than the other, they're just different. If you want to try something different, then maybe you'll want to learn Ruby.
Erlang and Clojure are the hacker languages of the month, though. The Ruby fad has passed.Try Improvely, your online marketing dashboard.

Ruby is apparently higher paying from what I've seen (on average). I'm also in the same boat as you goodmast3r. I've been using PHP for a few years now, and I've just started learning Ruby as of a few days ago. After playing around with true object-orientated and functional languages such as Scala, Fantom and eventually Ruby, I don't think there's anyway I can stick with PHP. I don't have any particular problems with PHP (especially since PHP5.3), other than languages such as Ruby are simply nicer.

Ruby is the perferd language, because it's an easy language and because of that, you can concentrate more on your algorithms than on your problems with the programming language it self.

Times West Virginian
After a quick first-round sectional win Monday, East Fairmont High School's victory dance came to an abrupt end when Fairmont Senior High School pulled off a 5-2 win.
But the Polar Bears had to play catch-up for the first couple of innings.
East Fairmont began the game the way it ended against North Marion. The Bears strung along a few hits via singles from Travis Gordon, Easton Jimmie, Cutter Atha and then a clutch walk from Tanner Lambert that plated Gordon.
Although damage could have been done, the Polar Bears left the first inning unscathed — they only allowed one run with the bases juiced.
"Andrew Strand got out of that inning because he is a battler," Fairmont Senior head coach Steve Naternicola said. "He likes the competition and he does a great job for us."
FSHS was led by senior Fletcher DeVaul, who drilled a single and took second via steal and then third because of a wild pitch.
Keeping his team alive was Austin Norman. The left-handed hitter had one objective — to hit a deep fly ball, or to pull a ground ball so DeVaul could score.

This is one "no bull" piece of sci-fi / action / semi-horror, but first... a history lesson of sorts:
Universal Soldier (1992)
Universal Soldier: The Return (1999)
Universal Soldier: Regeneration (2009)
Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012)
These are generally considered the "canonical" Universal Soldier films, which means that Universal Soldier 2: Brothers in Arms (1998) and Universal Soldier 3: Unfinished Business (1999) are either "unofficial" movies or perhaps a second sequel thread that you can choose to follow if you love Universal Soldier so dang much. The connective tissue of the "true" Universal Soldier movies is the presence of Jean-Claude Van Damme (who has appeared in all four) and Dolph Lundgren, who skipped only Part 2. The stagnant franchise was re-ignited a few years back with Regeneration, which was considerably more fun than what you'd normally expect from a decade-late Part 3 spawned from a Part 2 that practically nobody saw -- and now the same team is back for for manly mayhem with Day of Reckoning.
None of this is meant to imply that the Universal Soldier series has much in the way of continuity, but if you're looking for a dark-edged genre mash-up that feels gritty one moment and slyly satirical the next, there's a nice batch of treats to be found in Day of Reckoning, regardless of if you refer to it as Part 4, Part 6, or a stand-alone carnage-fest. A bit too long at 105 minutes, and boasting perhaps two more plot threads than it actually needs, Day of Reckoning earns some points for pure ambition -- there's actually an attempt at a plot here, and that's always a little bit admirable -- the flick feels like a big dash of Robocop, a small splash of The Terminator, a decent amount of the Universal Soldier nonsense (of course), and perhaps even a semblance of super-anti-hero material.
And if you find that the plot stuff runs a bit long, just be patient. Day of Reckoning offers a handful of outstanding action sequences (one in a sporting goods store, and another in an underground tunnel) before letting our confused hero (Scott Adkins) go toe-to-toe in bad-ass boss battles with (yep, you guessed it) Dolph Lundgren and Jean-Claude Van Damme. The main story is a pretty familiar throwback to Robocop (Adkins is an enhanced soldier who has horrible memories of his family's murder) but director John Hyams and his co-writers also seem to be having some fun with the highly-convoluted Universal Soldier mythology, and despite its flaws, the flick seems intent on not following the established formula, which at the very least keeps you from getting bored.
Obviously the little details help a lot. Michael Krassner's score sets a cool mood in the quieter moments; Hyams and Andrew Drazek have cut their action scenes remarkably well, especially for a low-budget movie; and last but not least, the massive bad-ass known as Andrei Arlovski makes for a great evil bastard who simply will not give up until he smashes Adkins' skull. All in all, the plot kinda flew past me and I didn't really mind all that much, but when Day of Reckoning sticks to the fights, the thugs, and the attitude, it's a pretty good time.

2010 Tony Award-winning Best Play
RED by John Logan
July 3 - 26, 2014
Master abstract expressionist, Mark Rothko, is in his New York studio in 1958, painting murals for the exclusive Four Seasons restaurant. He orders around his assistant, Ken, as he mixes the paints, builds the frames, and paints the canvases. Ken brashly questions Rothko's theories of art, skeptical of his having accepted such a commercial commission. Has the Great Artist sold out, or will the apprentice realize that great art can exist in any milieu? This confrontation between two very astute men, of different generations and points of view, illuminates our American lives.
"Intense and exciting…a portrait of an angry and brilliant mind…RED captures the dynamic relationship between an artist and his creations." —NY Times.
"Smart, eloquent entertainment, just delightful." —The New Yorker.
"John Logan sends American abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko into battle with his demons in this electrifying play of ideas, and the artist's howls are pure music." —Variety.

GOOD PEOPLE by David Lindsay-Abaire
August 7 - 30, 2014
In the Southie neighborhood of Boston, a night on the town might be a few rounds of bingo; this week's paycheck might be last month's rent. When Margie has trouble arranging care for her special needs adult daughter, she's fired from her dead-end job for being late. Facing eviction, a return to the unemployment line and scrambling to catch a break, Margie is reminded of an old high school fling. He made it out of Southie, became a doctor, and is living fancy. Could he give her a job in his office? Could he be her ticket to a new start? Is he secure enough to face his humble beginnings? Margie is prepared to risk what little she has left to find out. This timely, powerful, funny and heartbreaking play explores the struggles and shifting loyalties between friends that illuminate our American lives.
"The scrappy characters have tremendous appeal, and the moral dilemma they grapple with—is it strength of character or just a few lucky breaks that determines a person's fate?—holds special significance in today's harsh economic climate." —Variety.
"That rare play that is both timeless and completely keyed into a specific moment in American life...a penetrating drama about deeply relatable issues, albeit this time with more warming doses of humor." —Hollywood Reporter.

The extension of an existing contract to install "buzz-in" security systems at elementary schools is on the Cobb Board of Education agenda Thursday.
The board will hold its monthly business meeting at 7 p.m. at the Cobb County School District central office, 514 Glover Street, Marietta. A public comment session will be held at the start of the meeting.
Earlier this month the board heard at its work session about the proposed $900,000 extension with Kratos Defense and Security, a sole source provider.
The money would come from surplus SPLOST III funds and the contract period begin on April 1 and conclude on March 31, 2014.
Similar security installation work began in the Cobb school system during the SPLOST II period.
Thursday's meeting will be the first for new Cobb schools security chief Ron Storey, a longtime officer with the Cobb Police Department.
He succeeds James Arrowood, who is retiring and who will be recognized by the board near the start of the meeting.
The board also is expected to vote on a contract extension for Superintendent Michael Hinojosa, who was hired away from the Dallas Independent School District in 2011.Other items have the board considering approving cost changes in renovation projects at four schools, with three of them having incurred significant overruns from the approval amounts for the current SPLOST III period:
- A bid for $734,000 at Argyle Elementary, up from a designated $374,280 (96 percent increase);
- A bid for $3,035,000 million at Baker Elementary, up from a designated $2,151,000 million (41 percent increase);
- A bid for $443,800 at Harmony Leland Elementary, up from a designated $306,552 (44 percent increase);
- A bid for $504,965 at Nicholson Elementary, down from a designated $612,320 (18 percent decrease).
School officials say contingency funding is available in the SPLOST III account to pay for the additional costs.
Details for all agenda items can be found on the attached PDF. The meeting also can be seen on a livestreaming feed on the CCSD website.

Did it sound like this?
"Hi Mom, how are you?"
"I'm seventy now."
"Oh, okay. I'm so glad you made the pies."
"Fries? I didn't make any fries, why would anyone eat fries with turkey?"
"I said, 'Thank you for the pies!'"
"Oh, pies! No problem, I love to bake."
"Mom, can you please pass the cranberries?"
And Mom doesn't respond.
"Mom, can you please pass the cranberries?"
"I didn't put canned cherries on the table. I put them in the pie"
After dinner, your Mom may be thinking: "Sometimes I just don't understand…."
Did your conversation on Thanksgiving sound something like this? Perhaps even sadder is the fact that you or your loved one probably missed much more of the conversation than you realize. Whether it was Mom, someone else in the family, or you, a conversation like this may be an indication of a hearing loss.
Hearing is so important for everyone. If you think you or someone you love may have a hearing problem, begin with a hearing evaluation. Once evaluated, it can be determined if hearing aids would be appropriate. Hearing aids are fit for your hearing loss, the lifestyle you live, and your budget.
During the holidays, you don't want to miss out on conversations with family and friends. If you want to hear better for Christmas and in the New Year, now is the time to schedule your hearing test. If you are the person missing out on the holiday fun and everyday conversations, don't put off getting hearing help any longer!
(Picture Purchased from Dreamstime)
At this time of the year you see many ads trying to get you to hear better in time for the holidays. It can be very confusing to the consumer. If you are wondering where to go and who to trust here are a few tips that might help you make that decision:
1) Find a hearing aid provider that has a lot of experience working with hearing aids. Ask the provider "how long have you been doing this?"
2) An independent provider that represents more than one brand or manufacturer has more options for you to choose from and can often save you money.
3) Service is the most important part of buying hearing aids. What service is included with the hearing aids—for how long and for what price?
