Power Up with Protein
Power Up with ProteinFuel your body more effectively, and get the most from your workoutsDo you ever feel you're slogging through your workouts, barely able to complete what you've planned, and anxious to hit the showers? Or maybe you've wondered how you might take the next step, fuel your body more effectively, and get the most "bang for your buck" from your workouts. Either way, a great place to start is with the basics, and one of the most basic nutrients for optimal athletic performance is protein.The A, B, Cs of protein and performance
Muscles are made of protein, so it's no surprise that protein is vital to enhancing their performance. Knowing what type, how much, and when to fit protein into your daily routine is the key to getting the most from this important nutrient.
Protein particulars
"Wheying" your options
For repairing hardworking muscles after a cardio or resistance training ("weight lifting") workout, nothing beats whey protein. Whey comes from dairy and allows your muscles to refuel effectively. Whey protein is found in powder form and comes in a variety of flavors, making it easy to incorporate into your diet. It can be stirred into yogurt, added to a smoothie, or mixed vigorously with water or another liquid in a lidded container.
The body best absorbs protein when eaten in amounts ranging from 15 to 30 grams in a single meal or snack. Unless you're a serious body-builder, there's no benefit to eating more than 30 grams of protein at one time.
Whey protein makes its way into muscles most efficiently when taken immediately after a workout, ideally within 30 minutes. Eating whey with carbohydrates promotes the movement of the protein from your bloodstream into your muscles as well. Aim for a ratio of 1 gram of protein for every 2 to 4 grams of carbohydrate.
As an example, combine whey powder to provide about 15 grams of protein in a blender with a banana, ice, and water. A large banana adds around 30 grams of carbohydrate and most whey powders contain a bit of carbohydrate as well. This gives you a finished smoothie with 2 to 3 grams of carbohydrate for every gram of protein-an ideal ratio.
HMB power
Amino acids are needed to build the various proteins used in the growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues. Hydroxy-methyl butyrate, or HMB, is a breakdown product of leucine, of of the essential amino acids that are used as building blocks of protein. Studies have shown that HMB can improve strength and help the body maintain muscle mass. Ideally, HMB is used in conjunction with strength training to obtain the most benefit; it is not used to improve cardiovascular athletic performance.
Our bodies can make some HMB, but it isn't found in significant amounts in most foods, so taking a supplement is the best way to get enough HMB to enhance a resistance training routine.
The optimal amount of HMB is about 3 grams per day, but there isn't agreement on when to take it for best benefit. In order to avoid having HMB "compete" for absorption with whey protein, try taking this supplement in the morning, at bedtime, or about 15 to 30 minutes before a workout.
Final protein pointers
Be sure you're eating a good quality, well-balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes (beans), and whole grains. Without these essential foods, all the whey protein and HMB in the world isn't going to do you any good. Think about creating a nutrient network in your body; they don't work well in isolation.
Also keep in mind that while whey and HMB are considered safe for most people, there are some who should not use these supplements, including people with impaired kidney or liver function. If you have questions about whether whey and HMB are safe for you, ask your doctor or pharmacist for guidance.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ 25 - French Vanilla:
I don't usually like any protein powders or meal replacement mixes. The gentleman who helped me told me to mix the vanilla with some OJ. I bought just the sample so money wasn't wasted. The next morning I had the most delicious creamsicle shake! It was delish & filled me up! I plan to go back tonight to buy the container.

I tried this product the other day and I was pleantly surprised. I mixed it in my blender with vanilla soy milk and some frozen mango chunks, and it was delicious. It tasted just like a milkshake. It was very thick and creamy. It was absolutely wonderful. There was no funky aftertaste and it was not gritty. I'm just sorry that I had only purchased one packet.

I use this product after my workout. I also use it as a substitute for meals when I don't have time. I find that it tastes like any other shake. I don't think it tastes better or worse than any other product. It is a great way for me to manage my caloric intake while dieting especially when I'm short on time. I do you stay full and it does what it's supposed to do. I enjoyed best with dole frozen mixed fruits blended in it.

100% of Pasadena reviewers said Juvederm was worth it
"Lump in the Inside of my Lip. Bottom..."
Please help! I went to get my lips injected with juvederm Mon, 11/11/13. I have had several lip injections done before and have never had the extreme swelling and huge knot in the inside of my bottom lip. I had taken 4 advil on the day i had my juvederm appt, not knowing that it causes bruising. I have attached some photos. My lips are very chapped but i am afraid to put anything on them.... more
"Juvederm in Smile Lines and Upper..."
I have had juvederm 5 times previous to my most recent series of injections and do upkeep every 6-8 months in different areas. I really like the youthful volumizing enhancements for my looks. I really believe that great results with this product depend almost totally on the skill of injector. I have always been injected by plastic surgeons. This time I had a few small bruises in the smile... more
"I Love Juvederm...my 5th Treatment -..."
I jumped on the injectable bandwagon at the age of 47 and I am now 50. I usually do the peremiter of the lips, upper as well as the corners to turn my mouth up. Also on my slight nasolabial folds and marionette lines. I have never had any problems. When I went for my twice yearly juvederm treatment the injector advised me to do the full syringe on my left side as my face was starting to lose... more
Ok I finally did it! I have terrible bags under my eyes and wanted to try restylane to fill out the "rut" She reccomended a full syringe under each eye but i was hesitant and she said lets try half. So we did and I wish I would have gotten a full one but I can go back ( I bought 2 syringes at better cost than individual) It didnt hurt at all, my left eye is swollen but right eye isnt... more
"I Love my Results! - Houston, TX"
I was always conscious of the frown lines at the edges of my lips and my disproportionately small upper lip that virtually disappeared when ever I would smile. I wanted to do something to improve how I felt about myself and Juvederm and Xeomin seemed like a great place to start. I love the results! My lips are proportionate but not too big and my smile lines tip up,just how I wanted... more
"Love It!! I'm Hooked! - Houston, TX"
I had Juvederm injections in the top and bottom of my lips. I really really love it!! It was totally worth every penny. I already know this will be a yearly thing for me. I did have bruising for about 2wks but nothing that couldnt be covered by a little makeup. And after the following day I highly recommend it if your unhappy with the volume of your lips!! Just make sure you go to a... more
"Artefill Was First Awful Choice,..."
A friend knew how upset I was with the results of my Artefill experience and the doctor who did it, and the $1,200 wasted when it totally deflated within 12 days, and never improved over the coarse of 3 months...So I kept wondering what to try next. I work at UTMB and asked Board Certified Plastic Surgeon there if they could do the tear trough area of my eyes and most seemed reluctant or... more
"Worked Great on Laugh Lines. I..."
I had to viles of Juvederm injected for laugh lines and immediatly saw pleasing results. The plastic surgeon said that it's all about how skilled the person injecting it is. He used a numbing cream first but I still felt it a bit. I am very tolerant of needles but it would definitely hurt bad without the cream. I first was consulted about fillers at spas. I am so glad I went to a facial... more
"Juvederm for Upper Lip and Smile..."
This was my first time with Juvederm. I'm 45 and thought I'd try and smooth out the smile lines a bit. My injections were done 5 days ago by a very well respected plastic surgeon (he did everything right). I still have swelling and bruising. Using makeup to cover those areas. At this time I don't think I will do this again. Feels fake! The results are ok and I suppose the... more
"Juvaderm with Dental Block for..."
I had Juvaderm injected into my lips, above my lip, and my nasiolabial folds in November 2008 ... it was totally worth it. Yes, it was incredibly painful, my doctor gave me a dental block to numb my lips and above my lip (which, by itself, hurt so bad), then injected 2 syringes of Juvaderm (which hurt, even with the dental block).Yes, I bruised badly (I bruise easily anyway), but I blame a... more
"Juvederm for Undereye Hollows--don't..."
I was very nervous after seeing the pictures and hearing the horror stories about fillers under the eyes, but I've had these dark circles all my life and was ready to try anything.If you have a great doctor (mine trains other doctors how to do it), then absolutely don't hesitate to do it. I had only one syringe because I was a nervous, but I think I could have done two. My circles are not... more
"I Drank Pinapple Smoothies (For the..."
I went to an actual plastic surgeon who did the injections himself. He gave me a dental block and also talked me into some botox...the juvederm ultra was only 375.00 the botox jacked up the total to 645.00 I was really concerned about the bruising I have read about on this site and others. I bruise very very easily and did some research on how to prevent it. My research turned up the fact... more
I was tired of my nasolabial folds and these lines on the sides of my mouth. I read about Juvederm and thought I would try it out. After visiting the website and uploading my picture I was hooked. The procedure had minimal discomfort involved. I was told two syringes but it only took 1 for complete recovery. I plan to get another application in the apples of my cheeks in two weeks. In... more
Great RN at a board certified plastic surgeon's office recommended by a friend. Other than passing out cold after the treatment (I have a needle fear I didn't realize was so severe!), the results are great. I thought it was rather painful. Area was numbed topically. But it only took a couple of minutes. I just had it done today (nasolabial), very minimal swelling. Beautiful, natural, subtle... more

Julia Gaynor wants you to save money. As Chief Savings Officer for Eversave.com, it's her job to scour the Web looking for deals, and to teach women how to save when shopping. She gave us her top 5 tips for scoring huge deals:
1. Ignore Expiration DatesRetailers want you in the store to shop! Even if the date on your coupon has expired, always ask. Many retailers will honor savings deals post-expiration date.
2. Buy in (Close to) BulkMany locations, especially grocery stores, will offer deals for buying in bulk (such as 10 for $10). Contrary to popular belief, retailers will often honor the sales price, even if you plan to buy fewer items than are listed in the original deal.
3. Stack Coupons!Coupon stacking is when you use more than one coupon on a single item, often resulting in getting items for pennies on the dollar. If you're really good, in many cases you'll find the store owes you money after your savings are applied.
4. Bring Competitors' Coupons with You When You ShopMany retailers will match if not better their rivals' offers.
5. Shop with a MissionRetailers are strategic in the placement of products and deals throughout the store. Ever wonder why candy and gum are located in the checkout aisle? Walk out of the store with only what you intended to purchase.

Sharespost lets you buy the un-buyable
Want to own a piece of Tesla Motors? Facebook? LinkedIn? Unless you're a founder, employee, or a funding source for these companies, you're out of luck. That's what separates "public" companies from private: anyone can buy a piece of a public company on an open exchange. There are no wide-open exchanges for private company shares.
But there is now, at least to a degree. Sharespost is a marketplace where people who own pre-public shares can connect with investors who want that stock. Since these private companies also don't have open, audited books where potential investors can study up on the companies, Sharespost collects analysts' research on the companies in its market to help buyers and sellers agree on a value for shares being transacted.
The added values of the Sharespost marketplace, according to CEO Greg Brogger, are several. First, it connects buyers and sellers. Second, it helps with "price discovery," as noted above. Third, it facilitates the transactions by handling the paperwork and helping buyers and sellers work through contingencies attached to employee stock awards. And fourth, through an arrangement with US Bank, it processes and clears all the money.
Sharespost is not for the casual investor who wants to nab a few shares of Facebook for fun. Each transaction incurs a $2,500 fee (for both buyer and seller) from US Bank. And you must be an "accredited and sophisticated buyer" under SEC Regulation D, which limits the universe of buyers to people with substantial invested assets and experience. There is no such limitation for sellers. So if you're sitting on a few thousand shares of beached stock at a biggish private company, and baby needs a few thousand new pairs of shoes, Sharespost might be able to help you out.
Bizzarely, Sharespost does not collect a piece of these transactions. Brogger doesn't want to make his company a brokerage. He doesn't want it to be seen as profiting from individual transactions on his site. Instead, he charges buyers and sellers a $34 a month fee for using Sharespost. "There are a lots of transactions happening now in coffee shops," Brogger says, and with his model, he doesn't care if that continues or if the sales are closed through the US Bank clearing system. Although with the amount of money per transaction involved here, I don't see why he doesn't go for a small bit of the action.

The First Word in Protective & Marine Coatings
A Product of Technology Publishing / PaintSquare JPCL | PaintSquare News | Durability + Design | Paint BidTracker
Main News Page
Thursday, July 14, 2011 More items for Program/Project Management
A second Big Dig tunnel official may lose his job after discussing pressure within his agency to avoid documenting the Boston project's problems, such as that of a coatings failure that has caused widespread corrosion.
In an interview Sunday with the Boston Globe, Massachusetts Highway Division chief engineer Helmut R. Ernst, P.E., said that state Department of Transportation officials often failed to document safety problems for fear of leaving a paper trail or causing public embarrassment.
The growing controversy around the troubled $20 billion public works project follows the collapse of a 110-pound, eight-foot-long light fixture Feb. 8 in the tunnel. MassDOT did not tell the public or the governor about the collapse for nearly six weeks, while the agency conducted its own investigation.
Corrosion Damage Widespread
The investigation revealed widespread corrosion damage caused by paint failure on hundreds of tunnel light fixtures, especially at the tunnel entrance. Within days of the collapse, inspectors found nine other large fixtures so corroded they could have also fallen.
Engineers overseeing the tunnels, including Ernst, did not file a written report on the incident as required by state policy. State Transportation Secretary Jeffrey B. Mullan did not report the problem to Gov. Deval Patrick until mid-March, and Patrick immediately informed the public.
The Boston Globe reported Sunday that the corrosion represented a bigger threat to public safety than Mullan has acknowledged and says that repairs could cost $200 million.
'This Corrosion is Due to Paint Failure'
In a letter made public after the collapse, Ernst informed NuArt Lighting, of Fullerton, CA, the fixtures' supplier, that paint was flaking off the tunnel lighting fixture wireway, exposing the bare aluminum below to "the environmental elements within the tunnels, causing excessive corrosion and premature failure of the wireways."
Ernst's letter also reported corrosion under the stainless steel clips that hold the fixtures in place.
"In many instances, it is obvious this corrosion is due to paint failure under the clip, allowing a galvanic reaction to occur between the stainless steel clip and the aluminum wireway," he wrote. "Numerous failures appear to be associated with the stainless steel light fixture mounting clip cutting through the paint and coming in contact with the aluminum wireway."
The owner of NuArt's parent company, National Signal Corp., has denied providing lights for the project. National Signal was formed in 2006, acquiring NuArt in the process, about a decade after the first section of the Massachusetts Central Artery Tunnel Projects opened.
'We Have Been Trained Not To'
As the standoff between the state and vendor continued, however, Ernst's comments to the Globe sent concerns throughout the state legislature and quickly led to his suspension.
Ernst told the newspaper that "he had been trained not to write down problems inside the Big Dig tunnels following the 2006 ceiling collapse that killed Milena Del Valle, which resulted in costly litigation and embarrassing publicity for the state," the Globe reported.
Asked why he had filed the required report on the fixture collapse, Ernst told the newspaper: "We have been trained not to, after all the depositions in the ceiling collapse case. We just meet and talk about it. You go across the hall and talk about it. What's the point of putting it in writing? Things happen every day. You don't need a record. You need time to operate, too.''
Ernst also criticized Mullan's decision to accept the resignation of state highway administrator Frank Tramontozzi for allegedly not communicating information about the collapse to his superiors quickly enough.
"This whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth,'' Ernst said. "Now, it's kind of sad. The attitude will be 'if I don't do anything, I can't get in trouble.' ''
'Conduct Review' Ordered
On Monday, the governor said of Ernst's remarks: "It does not give me the kind of confidence that I should have, and I think the public should have, to have the chief engineer reportedly saying what he said.''
On Wednesday, Mullan said he would "immediately assemble an outside team to lead a 10-day review of the conduct" of Ernst and other transportation officials after the fixture fell.
Emails released by MassDOT over the weekend reflect the agency's concern about how the news media and public would respond to information about the incident and about the best way to address structural issues within the tunnels.
In an email March 17 to assistant transportation secretary Joseph Landolfi, Mullan said the timing on releasing the information was "a judgment call, on which reasonable people can disagree … The public has a right to accurate information, and we also have an obligation not to shout fire in a crowded theater when there is no fire."
'Nobody Says Anything'
State legislators are also watching the issue closely, and two met Monday with Mullan for a discussion.
"To me, the statement alone is a cause for concern," said Rep. William Straus (D-Mattapoisett). "At this point, I think we'll find out over the next days and weeks whether that's … the statement of one person." Mullan has led MassDOT since the 2009 merger of several transportation agencies, including the old Massachusetts Turnpike Authority.
Mullan told reporters on Wednesday that Ernst's comments represented "the opposite of the culture we've worked to create for the past 20 months.'' He added: "We don't train our people to do that."
But the Globe quoted a consultant hired by Mullan as comparing the atmosphere at MassDOT to that of the Nixon White House, "where nobody says anything, even when they should.''
Ernst's superior, Jack Wright, did not even mention that a light fixture had fallen in a detailed federal grant application seeking money to help address the corrosion problem, the Globe reported.

Hey guys, I need some help. I have tried many different methods to get to competition depth on my squat, but nothing has helped. I have stretched, weighted stretched, yoga type stuff ect. and nothing has worked. I have partial tears in my knees, and the worst is a pinched nerve in my groin area. I have been studying everything to do with lifting for a couple years, but due to health issues I have only been lifting for roughly 8 months. I was wondering if anyone knew a method to gain flexibility for pinched nerves? The only way i can make depth is to do this weird tip toe dance. The 2 things that have helped me the most are front squat and bear complex (power clean type stuff).
Stats: 22 years old, been training for 8 months, 6', 175 LBs., 215 Bench, 320 DL, 140 MP, and squat to depth .......maybe 85 or so. These maxes are estimates (I haven't maxed in a while). My big problem is my strength is my legs. I can squat maybe 90, but yet i can squat roughly 300 just 2"s or so above depth. Any help is appreciated, as I want to compete in full comps, not just Push & Pull. Thanks guys.
Bear complexes for competition squat? A chain that consists of a power clean, front squat, push press, back squat and another push press. I'm just lost as to where the power clean and the push presses are going to help with your squat depth.
You may have answered your own question there. Instead of just going for the big numbers, why not just work your squat up to a threshold where you can handle it and progress from there. Almost getting depth is not getting depth at all in a full meet.

I like Rob's idea of dropping the weght and focusing on form, but what about using a box? Not only will it teach you to sit back but it will also give you something to aim for.

Whenever I do cleans and bear complex ect I try to sit down as low as I can basically front squatting whenever I can and that has stretched me out the most. And I have squatted 275 front squat to depth before its a weak thing so much. And I have been trying the lower weight. The past two months have been squats with 50lbs or less. Still barely go deep enough.
I high box squat (right at parralel ) twice a week I feel good but just a hair lower and I fall apart.
My training partner tells me most squats are probably ok in SPF but wouldn't slide in some other Feds. When I'm alone I just try to hit my calves with my ass and fail every time.
just do bodyweight squats all the time. Before bed, for warm ups, after workout. That will help you get flexible in that position. Practice overhead squats with a broom stick too. I like to squat down with the broomstick in my hands, then at the bottom raise it overhead and try to stay upright then squat up.
As for real training, do all your squats as deep as you can, stay upright, force your knees out and if you cannot go atleast to parallel dont go heavier. Doing deep squats will make barely parallel squats feel sooo easy.
Dont box squat for your main squats if you are concerned with your depth. If you are a good squatter then add in box squats to help those, but if your concerned with you REAL squat technique, high box squats will only hurt them.
People may disagree but there ya go!
While high box squats (or any impartial for that matter) are good to throw in to work on sticking points, they probably should only be done ever so often. Do you ever low box squat?
You claim to be able to go ATG with your squats, but fail when you start to reach any substancial weight. I don't understand how you are front squatting 275 for "depth" and not being able to back squat past parallel. There is obviously something wrong here. Could we attribute this to flexibility? Perhaps. I'll echo what kingns said with bw squats to warm up.

Without weight, get a box that is to depth. Sit on it and spread your feet out until you are in your normal squat stance. This will help you stretch your groin. If you have to, use your arms to help get your legs in position. Once in your stance, take your arms and hold them straight out in front of you and stand up.
I know this sounds funny, but it will help.
You will be able to get in the bottom position easier after a while. Do this for a while and then take some dumbells placed on the floor between your legs and hold them as you stand. Do this for a few workouts, then with the same box, try and squat normally.

I had the same issue a while back, I'm a bit shorter than you but to get my squat deeper I lowered the weight, and squatted with my feet closer together. Also meant I had to push my knees out harder, but my ATG squat skyrocketed as soon as I got the form down.
Thats what i was going to try next. In the morning, evening, shower, all day pretty much. Do you ever do the crossfit style weighted over head squat?
IDK if i wrote it wrong or you read it wrong, but ATG is my goal, and i said it never happens. a.k.a. I fail attempting it. My front squats make depth ALOT more than my back.
I have been training at a public gym using the box there (which is high), but now that i'm in my home gym (basically a teenager bench and bar, but do what you can right) im building a box just for me and my height.
Thats what i have wanted to do so much. Train ATG then depth being so easy, but I tried ATG today with my 10 pound bar, and close stance resulted in tip toe dance, and wide stance was way shallow.
If my responses dont make since let me know. I'm doing this in a hurry, but will have much more time tom. and hopefully some vids this week.
Video would definitely help, also what does your warmup look like?
If you are able to hit depth with a light weight, and your form just falls apart when the weight goes up ( does that sound right?) ... then it's not a tight joint or muscle stopping you it's just that your form falls apart either because of a mental slip when the weight starts to feel heavy, or because you have a real weakness in the bottom of the squat.
The bottom inch or two is the hardest part of the lift. It's normal to lose a lot of weight off of your max when comparing 1" high to breaking //..... I've hit 1060 at ~1" high, but was barely able to grind out 1020 to //..... best in contest ( in the APF) is still 970.... that's 90# off of the last inch and my form is solid. If you add in the fact that your form is falling apart I have no doubt that this could take 200# off of your top end.
So, to fix this, eat humble pie for a few months working on only taking every squat to depth. That includes box squats. If you are so much stronger at the top why the heck are you working high box squats? You should be working box squats that are way IN the hole. I am working on gaining flexibility and keeping my form as I break // with tight gear so I've been doing ( what you should be doing) squats to a box that puts me several inches in. Not sure on the box height, but it puts my 5'2" wife below // and I am 6'4"....

Arock bottom squat is the goal each time i do it but never happens. My squat is still shallow. I have tried wide stancs and narrow and everything in between. The only reason I can make depth with light weight over heavy weight is because i can tip toe safer. When i get lower my groin pulls the leg in.
Warmup like sets? streches? Typically i have a hot shower and stretch out, then when at the gym i do 3 groin stretches, leg pendulum kicks, things like that, then a couple of sets with light weight where i just try sit as deep as possible.
A brief walk through of my squat (20 pounds or 315, doesnt matter it all does the same). I begin my decent and my legs want to go wider (stance wise), then I feel it pulling from my taint area to mid thigh and eventually it goes down no more. This all happens from roughly 7 degrees to parallel. Then when reaching this area it feels like a narrow stance would give me a little more depth. Unless i get on my tip toes i cant depth a body squat.
I havent had anyone with me in a couple days, but the first day I do I will get a video up. Thanks for the help guys.
IT sounds like you could just be leaning way forward..... but a video will say for sure....

I'm not really sure what the issue is. This may or may not help you: http://squatrx.blogspot.com/2007/11/...es-of-woe.html
A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

Hey guys I probably look like a troll not posting a vid, sorry about that. Here is a run down since the thread. I have been training by myself except for a few times, and have nothing to video with. I am starting back at a fully equipped gym now............and finally squatting close to depth! After this thread I was talking to my friend about my problem, and he suggested training with his PL coach for a day and see how that goes. Pretty dang good lol. I have been focusing on my pinched nerve (which is a deterrent) so much I didn't see the big picture I guess. I squatted a couple of sets and the coach said "I can tell your compensating for that nerve, but dude wtf is the deal with your left knee". I definitely have knee problems, but never really thought about it I guess. I have used wraps several times before but just for 3RM's or so. I stretched very well and compressed me knees with wraps, and within 15 minutes I was squatting FOR REAL. I'm pessimistic toward myself about things like this, so I was thinking it was just the extra help from the wraps. The next week i borrowed a knee band from a friend that does nothing but compresses the ligaments (I have partial tears) and BAM! I'm doing it again. Since then I stretch 2-4 times a day, and wrap up. Took my squat from a questionable depth sub 100 pound max to 184x4 ATG, done today. I'm thinking about so small rehbands in my near future. Anyway sorry for the ramble. I plan on starting a weak sauce training log today. I know I sound like a noob moron, but I'm excited. Thanks for the help guys!

CBS chief doesn't question 'Moonlight' choice
While CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler insists she still has great adoration for all things occult, she has yet to feel regret about the decision to leave Moonlight off of the network's fall schedule.
"Everybody knows I love vampires -- vampires, witches, warlocks, I love them all," Tassler tells reporters at Friday (July 18) morning's Television Critics Association press tour.
That love does precious little good for fans of Moonlight, which averaged just under 7.5 million viewers in a single season of Friday night airings. On a purely empirical level, the ratings for Moonlight were insufficient to justify renewal, but nobody has questioned the dedication of the show's fanbase.
What Tassler questions is the nature of that dedication.
"The response to Moonlight was actually more actor-centric, so I think it certainly measures our decision on the show," Tassler says. "Right now, like I said, I don't question the choice we made. I'm not getting as much mail and most of those comments were actor-centric."
What she's implying is that in their teeth-gnashing and garment-rending, protesters came across as fans of Alex O'Loughlin, rather than fans of the show.
She contrasts the tone of the Moonlight discussion with the campaign that resurrected another low-rated CBS drama, a little show called Jericho.
"You know what's interesting? Most of the e-mails and viewer mail on Jericho were very show-centric," Tassler insists. "There was a marked contrast. Look. I went online and I read all those things. Trust me, when you're a Queen Ranger, you have to. But like I said, most of the comments on Jericho were really about the show and every detail about the show, where mostly with Moonlight, it was about Alex."
On the subject of Jericho, Tassler continues, "Let's remember that when those e-mails and that campaign started, we hadn't seen anything like that before. Not to mention the peanuts. But I'm saying that you, you had an internet campaign the likes of which we had never seen before, so we didn't know what the outcome was going to be, but it was certainly worth giving it a try."
Tassler adds that just because one fan campaign brought Jericho back from the dead, but a different campaign failed to do the same for Moonlight doesn't mean that the grass roots avenue is now closed for good.
"No. I think you're gonna have to look at each as a case-by-case scenario," she says. "And let's not forget that all of that, the e-mails, the barrage of the peanuts and the letters and everything, you've got people that are passionate and at no point are you going to say 'We don't want that.'"
If it makes Moonlight fans any better -- and I have zero urge to make them feel worse -- CBS has paid heed to that actor-centric love for O'Loughlin. Asked if the network would welcome the Aussie actor back on a new or established show, Tassler doesn't hesitate.
"Sure, we'd love to."

She's right you know. I don't necessarily miss the show, but I definately miss seeing Alex O'Loughlin on a regular basis. I also miss seeing Jason Dohring. I hope they both move on to bigger and better things.
No, I don't agree with T***ler at all. Yes, we love Alex, he's gorgeous, he's talented and by all accounts, seems to be a first rate guy, BUT WE LOVE THIS STORY. Its romance, its humor, its noir undertones. There is really very little o TV right now that comes close to capturing my imagination the way this story has.
Nina T***ler probably sees it this way, but Moonlight worked not only because of Alex and we fans know that. Of course, Alex is the lead and we sing his praises, but if it was only him why did they recast everything and change the tone of the story? The chemistry with the other actors, the sets, the dialogue, the action and the romance is what made Moonlight a hit. T***ler tries to sell cancelling Moonlight and employing Alex into something else, but I aint buying it. I love Moonlight and want that characters and that story back.
I LOVED THE SHOW!!!! I thought the storylines were great and the way they established the history of the characters and everything just flowed. I was really looking forward to see the challenges they would face. I will miss Moonlight!
I disagree with Nina T***ler. I watched Moonlight for the entire package - not just Alex O'Loughlin. The entire cast had such great chemistry together. That is very hard to find in a show and Moonlight was the first show in a very long time that had that. I am no longer watching CBS because of the disdainful attitude of Nina T***ler towards the p***ionate fans of Moonlight. I will follow the cast's careers and watch them on dvd in the future, rather than television. I have no desire to be treated like garbage by CBS ever again.
I can't even believe she had the nerve to call herself a Queen Ranger. It's amazing how much that woman can annoy me. If she's not careful, she's going to fall to the level of how I feel about Dawn at the CW.
The show worked not just because of Alex but the chemistry all the actors had together. The writers were great the story line captured brought you in and the actors kept you coming back for more. I think CBS made poor decision making when they canceled Moonlight yeah what does 8 million fans know anyway..
She's completely wrong. I think through all of this, she's had a rather disdainful attitude towards the fans of Moonlight. I love that show, plain and simple. It was a solid story line. And believe me, a vampire P.I? It could've been really trite.
She sucks and CBS sucks and I'd really really LOVE to see their network falter. They usually pick the suckiest shows any how.
This woman has changed her reasons for cancelling Moonlight so many times, I think she should run for President.
People didn't fly halfway across the world to celebrate Alex O'Loughlin at the Moonlight Convention in May. We went to celebrate MOONLIGHT...THE SHOW. The entire show, the writers, actors, producers, lighting technicians, set directors, etc. EVERYONE involved in Moonlight is important to us.
Thanks for lying, Nina. I'll never watch CBS again and I've been holding to that since May 16th and I miss Craig Ferguson BAD.
Nina, Nina, Nina, I just spoke to 4000 of my fellow Moonlight fans and they all said they wrote you about how much they loved the show. They found the entire cast chemistry great as well as the writing, storyline, sets, and lighting. You must have missed those letters.

Review of Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous Waterproof by 1017
Volume...seriously? This gave me skinny anorexic lashes. Yes, they were long, but they didn't keep a nice shape, didn't look strong and weren't even as long & strong as the regular Lash Stiletto. Fail for me. I still prefer CG Lash Blast (orange tube).

SOS issues Missouri voter turnout predictions
By Daina Schnese
The Missouri Secretary of State's Office announced in a press release today that it predicts 72 percent of Missouri's registered voters will vote in the November 6 general election.
This estimate is a combination of local turnout predictions submitted to the secretary of state's office by the 116 local election authorities around the state.
In the 2008 general election, actual voter turnout in Missouri was just above 69 percent.
Polling places will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. next Tuesday.

- Teams tune up for DARPA Urban Challenge
DARPA's 'Dropouts'
Fifty-three teams are preparing for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Urban Challenge, a $2 million military-sponsored race of autonomous vehicles on city roads that's set for November 3.
The month of June is crucial for contestants because DARPA is making the rounds for so-called site visits, prequalification meetings in which the military's research and development arm plans to evaluate each team's viability to compete.
New to the DARPA Challenge this year, the Arizona team "A Bunch of Dropouts," (pictured here) is likely the only outfit running out of a remote 75-acre workshop powered by solar panels. It's also an easy bet that the Dropouts--named because they're led by now-grown high-school dropouts--will have the one and only race contender that's a 1941 Dodge Power Wagon painted like the American flag.

After getting a bad case of cabin fever, my siblings, boyfriend, and I decided to make the most of the snow. We made a snow fort using the old recycling bins and planters for pots. We completed the fort with snow man guards and windows after four hours of hard work on Wednesday. Father Winter wanted us to truly enjoy what good packing snow and team work has to offer.

Welcome to the LA Angels Bandwagon
The Angels bandwagon is filling up fast now that the Halos have shocked the world by signing Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson. At first, I thought I would rail against this and tell the bandwagoners to shove off, but that would be nothing more than an exercise in futility. After all, there is a reason Southern California fans have the bad stereotype of jumping on every bandwagon that crosses their path. Sorry, folks, but you know it is true.
So, instead of screaming into the night about the evils of bandwagoners, I'm going to try and help them out. I'm not happy about it, but if we diehard lifer Angel fans have to put up with the newcomers, the least we can do is educate them so that they don't look so obvious. As such, here is a quick reference guide for everyone leaping on the big red bandwagon to take note of. Please, I beg of you true fans, pass it on:
Why fight it? You can't stop Los Angelenos from jumping aboard a bandwagon. The more the merrier!

Naama Kates - singer-songwriter/pianist
"Kates delivers her disarmingly self-revelatory observations in a blessedly uncontrived vocal style... Whatever "alternative" may or may not denote, Kates' highly accessible brand of pop cabaret ultimately is music of insight, surprise and pure delight." - John Payne (Bluefat, LA Weekly)
"King for the Day" is really a quirky take on classical jazz. Namma Kates' knows just how to play her spoken word poetics against her lush and mischievous vocal style, to cause a little friction." – Alan Cross
"King For The Day" continues where Kates left off on "The Unexamined Life… it's one of the must-have albums of the year, regardless of what type of music you listen to. Jason Tanamour (Yahoo! News, Zoiks!)
It's been a good year for singer-songwriter/pianist Naama Kates. Her debut album "Unexamined Life" was so well received by critics and fans she's already finished a follow up. Her sophomore full-length album "King for the Day" was released on March 12, 2013.
From sublime to sardonic, weary to whimsical, on "King for the Day" Kates turns out avant-pop songs using an alternative balance of classical, blues and jazz, seemingly effortless lush vocals and poetic lyrics layered with edgy humor.
Grammy nominated producer Scott Fraser (Kronos Quartet) recorded, engineered and mastered "King for the Day" which features Mike Richardson on trombone, John Carfi on bass and Rich West on drums.
Kates' arrangements, and the fact that all of the songs on KftD were recorded with her new quartet in single takes, gives the album a cinematic flow that makes the listener feel they are enjoying a series of mini films. The songs are scenarios viewed from multiple angles of life filled with unexpected storms and tarnished silver linings.
Highlighted songs include: The title track, "King for the Day" which answers the question - "Oh wouldn't it be grand to be king for the day, everyday? … Now time to imagine the time when they take it away. Cue the chorus empathically sing: It'll all be okay." "Happy Homes" is a radio ready tune that celebrates the irony of being okay with everything falling a part around us. And, "Airplanes" muses on a peaceful early morning flight and the clarity that comes with being removed from it all.
During the production of "Unexamined Life" Kates began writing songs for her self-produced follow-up. Her usual writing process is on the piano, alone in her apartment, getting the songs down as they come. But that summer she was seeking solace and found it in Ken Burns' epic "Jazz" documentary. She identified with its subjects' struggle and their romanticized journey as told by Burns. She watched all 20-odd hours on repeat, and let it play in the background while she was writing. This led her to want to try a different approach when producing "King for the Day" - just a few great musicians writing their own parts, with room for improvisations, all contributing creatively.
Kates has a background in acting including roles in the hit TV series "NCIS" and the indie films, "My Normal," "The 10 Commandments of Chloe" (which she co-produced and for which she won several best actress awards), as well and the upcoming "Eden," which won "Best Picture" at SXSW and the Gotham Awards.
Kates grew up in the suburbs in the Midwest and New England, where she studied classical piano and ballet and then moved to New York City at 17. Upon relocating to Los Angeles in 2009 she bought a keyboard and began writing songs. The result was her first album "The Unexamined Life" which included the stand-out tracks "Before You Lose It" and "In The Twilight."
