Roland Martin Goes to the Gay Confessional, Pledges to Avoid 'Ratcheting Up the Noise'
By Tim Graham | February 21, 2012 | 09:26
Blogger Richard Prince of the Maynard Institute reports on suspended CNN pundit Roland Martin meeting in Los Angeles with a representive of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. As part of the GLAAD "rehab" routine, Martin then dutifully marched on to the set of his TV One show "Washington Watch" to repent for the Super Bowl tweets that got him suspended.
But wait -- why didn't GLAAD get Martin suspended from his TV One program? (Here's a guess: TV One is owned by Comcast, a big supporter of GLAAD and "gay rights" advocates.) Martin explained how he repeated his apologies over breakfast with GLAAD's Herndon Graddick (a former producer at CNN):
Over breakfast for over 90 minutes, Herndon shared his thoughts with regards to my tweets and why he deemed them offensive to the LGBT community, and I reiterated my apology that — that if anyone who construed my comment[s] as being anti-gay or homophobic, or advancing violence, that was not my intent, and for that I was truly sorry.
It was a discussion that touched on many other areas, and as GLAAD expressed in a statement afterwards – and a sentiment with which I concur – "Both parties came away with a better understanding of one another and look forward to continuing this dialogue."
Some might say this is just semantics; but, really, it isn't. When anyone has a disagreement – whether public or private – there should be a call to sit down and sort it out, as opposed to both backing into corners, ratcheting up the noise to the point where no one hears one another. That benefits no one. [Anyone who thinks Martin's opposed to "ratcheting up the noise" with critics doesn't follow him on Twitter.]
Now, do we agree on all issues? No. But, ironically, I have historically supported many of the issues important to the GLAAD agenda, such as ending [the] 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy; gay adoption; and including gays in hate crimes laws. Those, folks, are facts. But it is only through dialogue do we get an opportunity to see each other's perspective and learn what it is like to walk in that person's shoes.
Prince noted GLAAD offered its own thoughts after the breakfast re-education:
On his show, Washington Watch, Martin today took another important step, acknowledging that his words had a negative impact, and making it clear that he understands how serious the issues of anti-LGBT bullying and violence are. This incident, along with recent incidents of violence directed at LGBT people, sparked a national dialogue centered around why the issue of anti-LGBT violence needs to be taken seriously.
"GLAAD's meeting with Martin on Tuesday, February 14, was a good introduction. He has committed to meeting with GLAAD and other organizations in the near future for a more substantial dialogue. We support Martin's commitment to use his media platforms to shed light on the harms of hate-inspired violence and look forward to continuing this dialogue.
PS: The gay forces of "dialogue" have also recently demanded that conservative pro-family leader Tony Perkins be banned from MSNBC:
The Family Research Council's Tony Perkins has appeared on MSNBC 23 times since the Southern Poverty Law Center declared the FRC a hate group. Faithful America recently delivered 20,000 petitions to the cable network asking it to end their relationship with Perkins.
On the video, gay Bishop Eugene Robinson declared "We've got teenagers killing themselves because of what groups like this are saying...It's killing us and it's killing our kids. "

#3 Teen Suicide
Submitted by Tugboat Phil on Tue, 02/21/2012 - 9:46am.
Is it really a higher, proportionate number among homosexuals, than teen suicides as a whole, minus that number?
Could it also be argued that if the homosexuals do have a higher rate of suicide, that perhaps they are not as mentally and emotionally stable? Bullying was bad when I was in school as a short, fat kid that wore glasses. I often dreamt of kicking azz on bullies, but never of taking my life.
Could it also be that homosexuals, regardless of age, are less mentally stable? Wasn't it once considered a mental disorder and listed as such in medical publications?
Lastly, if I don't agree with homosexuality or think that it is an inborn, genetic trait, that somehow I have something wrong with me. Perhaps it is the homosexuals that have a problem accepting life on life's terms. They are the ones that are afraid of having a relationship with someone of the opposite sex. That's right, it's not so much that they like members of the same sex, but are frightened of the opposite.
They are the ones that are "phobic." I offer these thoughts not in a malicious manner, but with a lighthearted, gay spirit.

If Roland wants to grovel, that's his business.
I, for one, am sick to death of the spokesmen for aggrieved groups having the "power to forgive sins" so to speak.
Is there a directory somewhere of where one needs to go for forgiveness of these "crimes" against (different segments of) humanity?

John Adams tells us why these ideas, (Sodomite marriage) are madness."We have no government armed in power capable of contending in human passions unbridled by morality and religion ... Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Daniel Webster, on July 4th, 1800: "To preserve the government we must also preserve morals. Morality rests on religion; if you destroy the foundation, the superstructure must fall. When the public mind becomes vitiated and corrupt, laws are a nullity and constitutions are waste paper."
The founding fathers thought we WERE a Christian nation. It used to be that morals and common manners prevented the need for this nonsense, but since the Bible and morality was taken out of the schools, we end up with a generation of me first, self-important malcontents, with no sense of right and wrong. Now we have...Judg. 17:6 In those days there every man did that which was right in his own eyes. If the Bible is no longer true, then where does the authority for our law come from ?
Rom. 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Prov. 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.....
Evil is being marketed here.....All religions used to condemn homosexuality, and now some embrace it. For thousands of years, this practice was considered deviant. Thirty years ago, the Diagnostic Statistical Manual on mental disorders thought that this behavior was a mental defect.
Also, do not believe the canard that "they were born this way, or that It is in the genes". Sickle Cell, Tay-Sacks and other abnormalities are indeed passes on through the genes. If homosexuality was also, then it would die out, as they do not procreate, therefore, the law of diminishing numbers would apply.
This is evil behavior, (sin), being forced down our throats. Since the adults have made up their minds sexually, they must recruit through the schools, to get new adherents, or their numbers would diminish. Their average life span is cut by one third, due to suicide and AIDS.
Is. 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 2Tim. 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Homosexuality, like alcoholism, stealing, drug use, ect. IS SIN, not a disease or lifestyle choice. You do not catch drunkenness by shaking someones hand, nor can you catch homosexuality from a toilet seat. They are plain and simple...bad behaviour.
Psa. 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Elation Professional's new Vision Color 250 is more than a typical 250W color changer. Featuring a variable frost filter, accessory wheel, beam reducers, remote focus and seven DMX channels, the Vision Color 250 is a versatile piece of lighting gear that's capable of doing double duty as a spotlight, gobo projector, or wash fixture.
Leading the Vision Color 250's list of special features is its professional-quality variable frost filter, which lets users take away the hard edges of a spotlight and convert it to a soft edge wash-type effect. You can control exactly how much spotlight edge is seen—from a sharply defined edge to nothing at all. Until now, this distinctive wash-like frost feature was only available on larger, higher-wattage, more expensive color changers.
The Vision Color 250 color wheel features 10 dichroic filters, seven colors, UV, CTB, CTC plus white. It's capable of continuous variable speed color scrolling in both directions. Overlaying the multi-color dichroic gobo and the colors on the color wheel creates additional color combinations.
The accessory wheel has slots where users can place their own colors and/or gobos for a customized lightshow. Users can even combine the colors on the color wheel with whatever is added to the accessory wheel to generate some mind-blowing compound effects. The beam reducers on two slots of the accessory wheel let you tailor both the width and angle of the light beam.
The Vision Color 250 features a motor-driven remote focus from near to far that, when used in combination with the accessory wheel, allows the unit to function as a gobo projector in addition to a color changer.
The Vision Color 250's other features include: Elation's exclusive Remote DMX Addressing (RDMX), an LED Display, sound-active mode and 3-pin XLR input/output. The unit's shutter with dual flag mechanical dimming system is capable of a variable speed strobe effect (from 1–10 flashes per second) and preset variable/random strobe and dimming pulse effects. It measures 15"x14"x29.25 and comes with a heavy-duty yoke for safe and easy rigging.

County to ban plastic bags at most checkout counters

This ban will not change anything. People who rely on plastic bags for their garbage or clean up after their pets will just start using paper bags. they think by forcing us to pay for paper bags we will switch to those reusable bags. As long as people have money to shell out for paper bags their use will not diminish but will increase. I would rather shell out money for paper bags knowing that no matter how much you wash reusable bags the bacteria in the bottom of the bag will always be there. I for one will not be told how and what I put my groceries in. If I have the money I will always ask for paper. This law is just another stupid law consumers have to deal with.

Bacteria, companions to us all ...
From a San Francisco Chronicle article, July 5, 2012:
The human body carries more than 100 trillion bacteria - up to five pounds of the tiny single-celled organisms. The mouth alone has several hundred species of bacteria. Each tooth is its own ecosystem.
Together, all of the bacteria in the body would be the size of a large liver, and in many ways, scientists say, the microbiome behaves as another organ in the human body.
Each of our bodies has its own unique microbiome, cultivated from birth and built from our genes and our diet, nurtured by our exposure to a family dog or cat, by how much dirt we ate out of the sandbox and the antibiotics we've taken for ear infections or strep throat.
on Nov 9, 2012 at 9:16 am
At long last, we will be catching up to what Europeans have been doing for years. It's easy, and it's environmentally sound. You can bring recyclable bags to the check-out stand, or you can wheel your groceries to your car and place them in plastic crates that can be stored flat. No need for paper!

Phone Service
I know several posters on here either worked or are working for the phone company. (Bell South). My phone has been out of service for over a month. We have called and talked to a computer to schedule a repair several times......no good. I have e-mailed requesting a repair, gotten a favorable response...but no follow through. We have come to the point where we are asking ourselves, do we really need this copper wire service? We have cell phones and broadband ISP. I'm frustrated about the poor service, but then wondering should I just cancel it. VoIP is right around the corner, should I go for it? Or just keep calling, e-mailing and hoping, someday to talk to a living person at the phone company and get my cooper line phone restored? Anyone have similar experiences, maybe using the new VoIP? Perhaps a "special" telephone number to call Bell South?
Contact your state public utilities commission and tell them what is going on. You must be a patient man because I would have blown my stack by now. There is no excuse for such poor service. I'll bet they didn't forget to send the bill!
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Try calling again, but when you start getting the menus hit a 0. Many systems are set up so that will take you to a person. when you get them be polite, but let them know you are very unhappy. Also remind them you have paid for a service you are not receiving and expect credit for it. If you can't accomplish anything that way, do as BD said and contact your state public service commision. also many phone companies publish a number for a customer advocate for problems you are having trouble getting resolved. It is usually in the front of the phone book, or in the contact us section. Unfortunately phone companies, power companies, etc. are letting computers do more and more dispatching with no human monitoring, and if there is a glitch regarding your number it can drop out.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government
to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
I think by now I would have had to cancel service all together. I hardly use my house phone anymore. I have pretty good cell coverage, and with how much the cost of landline service is, my cell phone bill probably not increase that much. I had my phine shut off once due to a billing dispute that was their problem Almost cut it off then, but the wife nixed the idea, and I am usually more patient than her!

In NY I tell people to ask for the office of the president. Ask information for the number or if you use Bell south for your Long distance just dial . It works here. If that doesn't work then your public utilities commission.

Hi HR,
I tried to sent you a persoal message, don't know if it went though.
The others have all given you suggestions. I too would recomment that
you call one more time and do as John said, immediately dial "O" when
you get the menu. And demand to talk with a supervisor and let that
person know that you are going to report the situation to the PSC.
I also mentioned in my PM that I would be happy to intervene if you
trust me with your tel no. my e-mail is email@example.com. I still
know a few people in high enough places that could help.
I am sorry that it has gone on this long and that you have gotten the
run-around such as you have.

Thanks for the advice. I'm patient because we're really not missing anything. Those that need to contact us know our cell numbers, so there's been no break in communication. Russ, I'll e-mail you. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks all,
I'll let you know how it turns out. Nobody using the voice over internet yet?
I have no experience with it either. I understand that 911 service generally doesn't work with it. The failure mode is that it usually rings somebody's desk in an admin area of some police department.
Don't know what you are talking about but I talk to Poland with this

Call ordinary phones from
Skype with SkypeOut.
Top up on SkypeOut credit and use the Skype programme to call ordinary phones all over the world. Not free, but pretty cheap.

Strange! I got this e-mail just this afternoon.
Yeah, that could present a problem. I suppose you could have the individual authority on speed dial, but then I would think this is such a big issue, it would get ironed out.
Skype, I believe, is PC to PC. It works great on pre-arranged calls, but If I want to order pizza, probably wouldn't be useful.
I think this is coming, whether we want it or not. Data will pour into our homes like water from a fire hose. We'll be watching TV, and be notified via the screen of an incoming call with ID. We will pick up the remote, and on the backside, talk into it as it is also the cordless phone. Of course incoming video phone will be available for a few $$$$$$$'s more, as a "picture in picture" on the TV screen!
Sooner than you think HR. Our satellite TV receiver has caller I.D. built in. When the phone rings, the name and number appear on the TV screen.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
It's going to take some serious technology improvements to make the voice/ip work on my 30k dialup.

Applet execution timing variation
I am using applet in my web application.
But every time, It is taking different time in execution.
Also time varying from one server to another.
But as per my understanding,in case of applet,jar is downloaded at client machine so this variance of timings is not dependent on one server to another.
In my case, I am not interacting with server in between execution.
Please help me in finding the root cause .
What factors could affect performance of applet.

I want to be detailed for you guys, to understand what I am looking to do:
Alright well as of now, I weigh 120-125 lbs, I am about 5"7. I have skinny arms and skinny legs, and a bit more fat on my core/mid section than I should have for that weight. I have always been like this, fat was never really distributed throughout my body, even when i weighed 175lbs, I had a big big mid section and small arms and "chicken legs". I dont know why.
Now that I have gone down to this weight, I have decided to enroll into a gym. I want to increase my muscle mass, get cut... You know just look and feel good. I am a beginner in all of this, I don't even know how much I can lift and stuff.
Here is my delimma
I don't want to lose anymore weight. Yet I want to get a ripped core, well just trim down my midsection and of course get bigger arms and legs. Is it possible for me to harden my "core", and gain weight with muscle?
This is what I was thinking, Cardio as in walking/jogging on the treadmills for about 30 minutes before using weights. Then an hour of weights. Can you guys help me out, I know most of you are in tip-top shape, Also, reccommend me some high-protein foods, or smoothies I can make.
If you guys know of a great routine for me with the rest days and such. please post them. I am starting this coming monday morning at 5am...First day at a gym. I know resting is key and eating healthy. Thank you very much.
Read all the stickies, read the articles on the main page, and read and start the WBB1 routine on the mainpage. Diet is key, get it in check. Read all the fun stuff in the diet forum.
Nick V
Good for you bro. It'll change your life. And definitely check out the stickies as Unreal said.
Thank you very much you 2. I know the sky is the limit when it comes to my body and such. The thing is I don't want to be huge. I want to be nice, fit and healthy. I was just wondering, I don't want to get to excited, but since I have recently lost about 40lbs in the past 6 months. I have read if I start eating alot and weight training, I should be seeing results somewhat immediatly, Since the "fat" that was theire will try and go back, but it will be built up as muscle. I hope this is true.
On a side note: I am really looking forward to being apart of this community, from what I have seen so far in posts within this topic, and other topics, you people are very knowledgable in your "craft" of weight lifting. If it wasnt for you guys, I would still be here not doing much of anything. So thanks for all the info you guys post up, when newbs like me need help.
Also, when I said I didnt wanna be big, this is the type of body I want:
(Of course, its Tyler durden himself :P)
I was wondering, How long would this take? Since I really have no muscle at all right now, just scrawny legs and arms. I know I will be committed, since I went from eating triple meat hamburgers at wendy's, to veggie delights at subway (this is how I lost 40 lbs in 6 months).
Once again: I really appreciate your up and coming replies, If you guys have personal combo's, smoothies , etc...of great food recipes with a good amount of fat/protein/carbs, please feel free to post. If not, just let me know what you think of my overall "Future Adventure!"

It'll take you less than a year to get that body if you train hardcore and your nutrition is spot on. If you're between ages 13 and 21, even less time. But once you get there, I guarantee you will want more.
No cardio before you lift. After is fine - better yet, on a separate day - but not before.
Make sure you squat and do deadlifts. Nothing will do more for your whole body.
Alright, I got ya built. One question for you: Why no cardio beforehand and do it a separate day? since im a newbie, I am confused with your reply. If I go with your advice, should I do it for a full hour on that separate day?
Deadlifter, my eyes lit up when you said less then a year, and yes I am only 18 years old. I am planning on doing the routine I found on this website, Would it help me achieve that goal?
Here is the routine:
Day 1 : Chest and Back
Flat Barbell Bench Press : 2 x 6-8 reps
Low Incline Dumbbell Press : 2 x 6-8 reps
Dips : 2 x 6-8 reps
Chin ups : 2 x 6-8 reps
Deadlifts : 2 x 6-8 reps
Barbell Rows : 2 x 6-8 reps
Shrugs : 1 x 10 reps
Day 2 : OFF
Day 3 : Legs
Squats : 2 x 6-8 reps
Hack Squats : 2 x 6-8 reps
Leg Curls : 2 x 6-8 reps
Straight Legged Deadlifts : 2 x 6-8 reps
Standing Calve Raises : 4 x 10 reps
Day 4 : OFF
Day 5 : Shoulders, Triceps and Biceps
Military Press in Rack : 2 x 6-8 reps
Seated Dumbbell Press : 2 x 6-8 reps
Standing Lateral Raises : 2 x 10 reps
Triceps :
Narrow Grip bench Press : 2 x 6-8 reps
French Press : 2 x 6-8 reps
Biceps :
Barbell Curls : 2 x 6-8 reps
Hammer Curls : 1 x 6-8 reps
Day 6 : OFF
Day 7 : OFF
I have a couple of more question, Since I will also be gaining fat (which I dont mind) around how long would it take for me to start seeing/feeling results? Since I am a beginner, and just lost 40 lbs. Would it take me a while? Also, Since I want that real nice, slim and toned body like Tylers (movie character), Do you reccommend other exercises I should be doing at the gym, not mentioned in the WBB routine? Or different types of cardio, to keep me slim. Please let me know, All this knowledge you guys preach to me, is just feeding me more and more valuable info.
Anyways, Man I am soo excited for this monday, as that saying goes "the first day of the rest of your life" This is going to be soo true. Well I am heading off to bed, I cant wait to read some more replies, and helpful tips you guys can give me. Have a good night, I'll reply in the morning

I never stay on a routine for more than 4 weeks. It's boring, and it hinders my gains to stay on one longer. Proper periodization will allow one to keep gaining and avoid plateaus. I'd recommend keeping a training log, and to always try and beat your previous workouts. In the beginning you'll gain a lot of strength, maybe 10 pounds a week on some of the major, compound lifts. Over time, it will slow down and be less dramatic, but it should almost always be going up, otherwise you're wasting your time, training improperly, or at an extremely advanced level, but even at an advanced level, your assistance exercises should be going up in one form or another.
Another word of caution: avoid linear periodization. Here is an example:
Johnny bench boy is happy about his new routine that will for sure get him benching 300 in a matter of weeks. His result:
Week 1: 250 for 3 reps
Week 2: 260 for 3 reps
Week 3: 260 for 5 reps
Week 4: 260 for 6 reps (adaption kicks in around this point)
Week 5: 260 for 3 reps (Johnny boy is pissed off, and as a result increases intensity the following week)
Week 6: 265 for 1 rep (fails on 2nd rep. What happened? Oh yeah, his CNS adapted and overtrained from repetitive movements and linear progression).
Compare this to a more dynamic style of periodization:
Week 1-4: 3-4 sets 8-12 rep range, 60-90 seconds rest
Week 4-8: 4-5 sets 5-8 rep range, 90-120 seconds rest
Week 8-12: 4-6 sets 3-5 rep range, 120-180 seconds rest
Between each cycle, there is a 4-6 day active recovery period, where you do whatever you want in the gym with lower intensity.
The above does not mean that all of your exercises will be in those ranges, just the compound, multi-joint exercises. During the max effort period (3-5 rep sets), I wouldn't bother doing "isolation" exercises like lateral raises and the like. Just stick to big, compound movements, with low to medium volume.
Cardio will tire you for your lifting, and the whole object of lifting is to create muscle trauma/damage in an intense way. If you're out of steam before you start, you won't be able to do as much damage when you lift. Remember - you don't build any muscles in the gym - that's where you wreck 'em. You rebuild when you eat and rest later on - the oft-cited "anabolic response".Originally Posted by murdoc52
Since cardio burns so few calories anyway, you're better doing NONE than doing a half hour BEFORE you lift. Your body composition will come from proper diet and heavy lifting. A little cardio can be good for your heart, and can create a small caloric deficit so you are afforded a little dietary flexibility, but don't think of cardio as the way to being ripped. That part is caloric deficit and lifting in short, heavy sets.
Cardio won't make you slim. You can't bulk and cut at the same time - at this point, I'd suggest eating at maintenance for a while, get your lifting going, then VERY gradually increase your calories - like 10% above maintenance at first. You can always increase it - but if you go too fast, you'll gain too much fat and that's NOT what you want.Originally Posted by murdoc52
Good luck!Originally Posted by murdoc52
i find that when people are just starting to work out, its most important to get the proper technique and strategy of a real workout.
for example, you want to be in control for the entire lift, and you need to struggle a bit with the last few reps. if you are able to do 15 reps, but only do 8, it is time to increase the weight. you also need to understand how to breathe properly.
if at all possible, go to the gym with a few people who know what they are doing for your first month.
gym lifts: squat: 341lbs, deadlift: 374lbs, bench: 275lbs

And just to get the misconception that your going to get huge out the the way. Its VERY VERY VERY VERY hard to get big. People spends years upon years to get that way. Most need drugs or godly genetics to get big. Believe me, you aren't accidently going to get huge.
Also, whats with the obsession with Brad Pitt in that movie. He is a stick that needs to eat and get some muscle. He looks like a strung out drug addict. He looked ok in Troy.

I still don't really know How much calories to intake, since I usually get full with light foods. But these past 4 days, ive been trying to eat 4-6 meals a day. To get ready for this coming monday. Hopefully, I am convincing my friend, that goes to the gym, to wake his ass up at 5am for him to come with me. I was going to ask, How long should I stay working out? 1 hour, 2 hours? Let me know. Do you guys have any other workout routines that would benefit me in getting to my goal, of that picture I posted? If so please feel free and post, because I will be following the WBB routine for atleast a month maybe 2.
Train with weights for no more than an hour, and no more than 4 days a week.
You need to track your food on fitday or some other platform so you can figure out your maintenance calories.
WBB is a perfectly good place to start.
1) Any questions you have about your diet can be answered like this:
Get an account at www.fitday.com and begin accurately add up all the calories and nutrients you take in.
Adjust your foods until you're taking in 1.5 g of protein per pound of body weight.
Track the number of calories vs. your body weight. Figure out how many calories your body takes to stay the same weight.
Then, all you have to do is figure out whether you want to gain, lose, or maintain weight. If you document what you eat, you can control your weight simply by changing your caloric intake. That's why cardio means less than nothing.
2) If you can lift after you've been in the gym for about an hour, you haven't been lifting hard enough. I can get a serious workout in under 30 minutes when I'm really pressed.
ETA: Oh, and like others have said, trust me, you don't have to worry about getting huge. You'll make huge gains, but you'd have to focus on strict diet and a really serious workout regime to get 'huge' in less than five years.

Don't ask for a lighter load. Ask for a stronger back.
welcome murdoc, and congrats on your choice to make the change to your life. You will see most noticeable results in your figure around 2-3 months in. You will feel so much stronger straight away though. The better you diet, and how dedicated you are the more you will achieve in a short period of time. Make sure you read up on everything on this site because it has so much information and if you can't find something then just ask, most people are very helpful (as long as u try and find it urself first).
Good luck Murdoc52
"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily."
The routine you posted is far more complicated than what you need.
Start with a full body routine 3x a week.
Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei

CATEGORIES Action, Horror, Thrillers, Mystery & Suspense, CinematicalWhen last we left James Wan, the one-time wunderkind who directed Saw six years at the relatively young age of 27, he was at the helm of two commercial and critical failures, Dead Silence (21% on Rotten Tomatoes), and Death Sentence (19% on the Tomatometer). Wan directed Saw seven years ago from a screenplay by one-time Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology classmate Leigh Whannell. A significantly bigger success than either Wan or Whannell had anticipated (both smartly took gross points), Wan moved to the producer's chair for subsequent sequels in the still ongoing Saw franchise, but since then, his directing career has taken a step back with each release.
Wan hopes to change his fortunes, commercially, if not critically, with his next horror-themed film, Insidious, premiering in several weeks time as part of the Toronto Film Festival's Midnight Madness program. Insidious reunites Wan with Whannell for their third collaboration (Whannell also wrote Dead Silence). Wan, however, already has his next project lined up. According to Deadline, he's set to direct Nightfall, the big-screen adaptation of a little-known graphic novel published three years ago by Platinum Studios (Cowboys & Aliens). Written by Scott O. Brown with art by Ferran Xalabarder, Nightfall has a simple premise with some potential: a Texas prison secretly run by vampires and a lead character, David Paxton, described as an "industrious, right-wing survivalist" on Amazon.com, who finds himself imprisoned with said vampires and attempts to escape the prison before he becomes their next meal.
Nightfall could be gory, bloody, dumb fun or it could be dull, unengaging, uninspired non-fun. Or worse yet, it could end up as unintentional camp. It's in Wan's hands now, so we'll have to wait another year or, most likely two, before we see the result. Maybe Wan can take give David Slade, the director of 30 Days of Night (let's not mention the obvious cash-grab that was The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and instead focus on the positives), a call and ask for pointers. Maybe not.
So what do you think of the premise? Of another graphic-novel-you've-never-heard-of getting picked up for another big-screen adaptation? And what do you think of Wan directing this particular property or Wan's directing skills in general? I'd like to give Wan the benefit of the doubt, but he certainly hasn't made it easy.

Double-checked the timing, thought SURE I had it whipped this time! Still no go. I have good spark, compression "feels" good, (I still want to get a test gauge and see exactly how much I have on all 4 cylinders) but I don't think I'm getting fuel. Can't smell anything at the sparkplugs. I've tried pouring a little bit in a cylinder but that doesn't seem to make much difference. I have gotten a few little pops, and some smoke from the exhaust pipe. (I think just burning oil I poured in cylinders for lube and compression.) I took the two halves of the carb apart and all "looks" ok, when you choke it, then open the choke you get a good teaspoon of gas out the front of the carb.
I am thinking the carb needs work. Anything else I could check?? I am remembering why I sold those two !@@#*(#$)(#%()#$()* Cubs I had!!!!

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) hosted a media briefing to discuss the renewed resurgence in measles in the U.S. and its continued threat to health security.
Director of the CDC Dr. Tom Frieden said 50 years after the measles vaccine, this country is seeing a resurgence of the deadly virus.
There were 175 cases this year but thanks to the vaccine, no one died.
About 20 people still had be hospitalized.
Frieden said while the deadly virus has a vaccine, it must be used to be successful - particularly beyond the U.S. boarders, for protection when Americans travel abroad.
"We're all connected by the air we breath, by the water we drink and by the food we eat. Just as viruses anywhere, it's [measles] just a plane ride away," said Frieden.
The CDC also recognized Dr. Samuel Katz with Duke University today.
He is a co-inventor of the measles vaccine.

Sarah Palin building the future of the GOP?
The Republican Party is in turmoil, but have they found a guiding light in Sarah Palin?
If a new video released by her political action committee is to be believed, yes. The video features many pundits arguing that Palin is a bit of a rogue who is looking to reshape the GOP.
Keep an eye out in this video for a cameo made by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer as well.
Also, there's a bear at the end. It's neat.

Frustration, yeah that's one. Anxiety, yeah, that's a biggie, too. Then there's impatience. That proved to be a prominent one Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. Just ask Derek Jeter.
The New York captain couldn't wait to wade into one of Tim Wakefield's floppy, floating knucklers and as a result saw only four pitches in three at-bats. Jeter's inability to connect against Wakefield was just a microcosm of the Bombers' evening as Boston emerged with a 5-2 victory in the opening game of the American League Championship Series.
The Yanks managed just three hits, marking the fewest hits they had in a playoff game since Game 3 of the 1999 ALCS at Boston. The three hits is also the fewest by any team in LCS play since Seattle had two hits against New York in Game 4 in 2001.
Jeter, who saw his nine-game postseason hitting streak snapped, had been hitting .357 [15-for-42] in his career against Wakefield prior to Wednesday. But he swung at the first pitch he saw in the first and third innings, popping up to second and third, respectively. He waited for the second pitch he saw in the sixth before taking a cut and lining out to third.
"He had a good knuckleball going tonight and you can't have too much of a plan against that," said Jeter, who popped up to first in the eighth, swinging at Mike Timlin's second offering. "He didn't even know where it was going, but he was throwing strikes. You try to be patient against it but you don't want to fall behind. You always want to be aggressive and swing at the first pitch. If you get a hit, then you're smart.
"I didn't have a game plan, though. You can't say you're going to wait for a pitch because he didn't even know where it was going to go. You try to be patient, but if he's throwing strikes, you'll find yourself in a hole."
The Yanks finally solved Wakefield in the seventh but that had more to do with his wildness than their bats. Eight of the first nine pitches he threw to Jason Giambi and Bernie Williams were balls before manager Grady Little lifted him in favor of Alan Embree, who surrendered a run-scoring double to Jorge Posada. Hideki Matsui then brought in New York's second run with a sacrifice fly to left, closing the book on Wakefield.
The effort was a marked contrast to the way the Yankees finished up the American League Division Series against Minnesota. New York unloaded on Johan Santana in the fourth inning of that game, scoring six runs to knock him from the box.
There would be no clutch hits against Wakefield. In fact, there would be few hits at all -- Wakefield allowed two hits and the only two walks he allowed came in the seventh.
Matsui and Posada had back-to-back singles in the second. But Aaron Boone flied out to center and Nick Johnson grounded to first, quickly ending the threat. Boone echoed Jeter's sentiments, saying the game was as frustrating as much as it was because of Wakefield.
"He was good," Boone said. "I've faced him three times now and he was good all three times. I don't know if it's any tougher trying to hit him. It's just that sometimes you're not even sure if he knows where the ball is going."
Giambi has never fared well against Wakefield. So it wasn't surprising to see him go 0-for-2 before that seventh-inning walk.
"He was good because he threw strikes," Giambi said. "When he's doing that, he's tough to beat. You try to get your walks, like we did in that one inning, but he was tough other than that. So you have to look for that one knuckler you can hit, and he didn't throw very many that were hittable."
As for Matsui, he didn't come through with a hit off Embree in the seventh but he did drive in a run.
"I thought the whole team really didn't hit against [Wakefield]," Matsui said. "In that sense, he pitched pretty well. I don't know about the approach of others but mine was to just get a good pitch to hit and swing the bat. It's hard to anticipate the pitch and in the case of today you just couldn't help [swinging early in the count]."
Pick the adjective. Frustating. Anxious. Impatient. They all applied to the Yanks Wednesday night.

Off-campus Access to Library Resources
Before you can access UCB Library resources from off campus or via your laptop or other mobile devices, make sure you have configured your machine using one of two simple methods (Proxy Server is the quickest and easiest):
Proxy Server
After you make a one-time change in your web browser settings, the proxy server will ask you to log in with a CalNet ID when you click on the link to a licensed resource. See the setup instructions, FAQ, and Troubleshooting pages to configure your browser. Make sure you check the proxy configuration before you start researching.
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
After you install and run the VPN "client" software on your computer, you can log in with a CalNet ID to establish a secure connection with the campus network.
Starting Points
1. Read an introduction to the campus libraries for undergraduates.
2. Set up your computer for off campus access to library databases.
3. Need a map of the campus libraries? Doe and Moffitt floor plans are here.
4. Each library has its own hours and they may change over the summer - click on the calendar for each library to view a month at a time.
5. Information about citing your sources and links to guides for frequently used citation styles here.

Beyond the Web
"It's all free on the Internet, right? Why should I go through the library's website to find sources for my paper?"
The Web is a great source for free, publicly available information. However, the Library pays for thousands of electronic books, journals, and other information resources that are available only to the campus community. Through the Library website, you can access hundreds of different licensed databases containing journal articles, electronic books, maps, images, government and legal information, current and historical newspapers, digitized primary sources, and more.
You access these resources through the Internet, using a browser like Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer -- but these databases are not part of the free, public Web. Resources like Lexis-Nexis, Web of Science, Academic Search Complete, and ARTstor are "invisible" to Google. You will not see results from most library databases in the results of a Google search.
Want to find out more? Get started exploring the Library's electronic resources, or find out how to get access to licensed resources from off-campus.

One of the wonders about the Tampa Bay Lightning season at current, as small a sample as it is in only 6 preseason games and 4 regular season games, is that the upper tier players are being asked to play on the penalty kill regularly, and to actually attack the opposing net in the process.
The idea of a short-handed goal by the Lightning is almost foreign now. It's been years since we used to see the likes of Martin St. Louis and Fredrik Modin as not only top penalty-killers, but consistent scoring threats on the penalty kill.
Tonight's game against the Florida Panthers saw the Bolts first shorthanded goal of the season, scored by Steven Stamkos with 6:06 left in the first period. While the feat in itself is nice (a change of pace and it was Stamkos' first goal of the season too), it also was only the second shorthanded goal scored by Stamkos in his career. The last time Spicoli notched a goal shorthanded was his breakout season of 2009-10 when he scored 51 goals and tied with Sidney Crosby for the Rocket Richard Trophy as the National Hockey League's leading goal scorer that season.
It just seems odd that a prolific scorer such as Stamkos has only 2 shorties at this point. Perhaps it's a testament about the system that was employed by Guy Boucher... Or just the fact Stamkos wasn't asked to contribute minutes to the penalty kill? Regardless, he scored shorthanded tonight. This is posted while the game is still in progress, 3-1 Tampa Bay int he 2nd period (as Stamkos has 2 goals so far tonight).

The headline gives you a pretty good headline of how the afternoon has gone for Derek Holland. He's been wild. How wild? Wild enough to walk Brandon Inge and Austin Jackson, who have both hovered around a below-average 8% walk rate for their careers. They both walked, and it wasn't as if they had to think a lot about the pitches they took.
But the headline also mentions an escape, and indeed, for the second straight inning, the Tigers left runners on base. In the second, Holland walked the bases loaded before getting Ramon Santiago to ground out to second to end the inning. While "ground out to second" seem harmless, the final out came on a force play at second that was ridiculously close. Jackson's foot was about a sheet of paper away from second when shortstop Elvis Andrus stepped on second.
So Holland hasn't allowed a run yet, but he has allowed five runners while throwing 49 pitches in two innings. This probably won't be a complete-game shutout for him. He might not make it out of the fifth inning, regardless of how he pitches for the next three innings.

Software platforms can live and die on the strength of their developer communities. Just ask Microsoft. Remember Steve Ballmer's "developers, developers, developers" speech? As staunchly proprietary and hostile to open source as folks are up in Redmond, they're not dumb enough to deny the huge role ISVs have played in making Windows the dominant desktop OS.
Why should hosted apps be any different? As software begins its transition from the desktop to the Web, SaaS vendors and other online businesses are rediscovering what traditional software players knew all along: It pays to nurture an active developer community. That's why Salesforce.com began promoting itself as a developer platform early on, and why today even a seemingly frivolous service like Twitter is encouraging independent developers to build on its back end.
[ Cut straight to the key news for technology development and IT management with our once-a-day summary of the top tech news. Subscribe to the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. | Looking for deep insights on Java development? Check out JavaWorld.com. ]
What's the point of Twitter, you ask? Who knows -- maybe some enterprising coder will come along with an add-on application that can finally answer that question for you.
But unlike desktop software, opening a Web-based app to third-party developers isn't as simple as just offering a few APIs. The unpredictable nature of the Net exposes SaaS providers to challenges that OS vendors never had to confront. And in this early stage of cloud computing, models of success are hard to come by. As Twitter is finding out, providing a stable development platform for a large-scale Web-based service is harder than it sounds -- and the independent software developers are watching.
Twitter's growing pains
The biggest challenge facing anyone who wants to create a developer community is giving developers a reason to join in. Software development is no Field of Dreams, and just because you build it doesn't mean anyone will come. For example, few open source software projects actually enjoy the idealized, community-based development model that we're taught to expect. In most cases, the majority of code comes from a few key developers who were with the project from the beginning; outside contributions are rare.
