Protein Super-Dosing: Sound Strategy Or Pseudo-Science?
Protein is good. Ergo, it follows that more protein is more good, right? That's the premise under which it appears that many of us operate, and it seems like it would be easy to figure out whether this makes sense. But there's more to the question of protein super-dosing than a simple yes or no.
Before we get into anything else, I need to explain how muscles actually grow. Two processes compete within your muscles at all times: protein breakdown and protein synthesis. The signaling for each of these operates more or less independently. To increase muscle mass, the gap between these two processes must be widened by lowering muscle protein breakdown (MPB), while raising muscle protein synthesis (MPS).
These processes can be differentiated by looking at how much dietary or otherwise exogenous protein incorporates into muscle, and how much is excreted. There are a variety of different ways this has been done historically, and it's how scientists can determine the dietary protein levels needed to maximize MPS.
Achieving maximum MPS requires more than just eating a certain amount of protein. Timing, protein type and insulin response create a whirlpool of anabolic effects, making it a complicated process to achieve a maximum anabolic state. The question is not how much protein you should consume, but how to keep free amino acid levels at the right level, at the right time, for the right duration. There's more to this than simply spiking levels with whey or casein hydrolysates throughout the day. Done the wrong way, this can actually increase muscle protein breakdown.
It would be easy to point to things famous bodybuilders have said over the years, invoking the likes of Ronnie Coleman or Dorian Yates to argue that you need at least 2-4 grams of protein per pound of body weight in order to grow. Before you go that route, however, there are a few things you need to understand. First off, Coleman and Yates don't need to read this article, because whatever they used to do, whether it was right or wrong, they grew. If you want to mimic their respective styles, you'd have to go even farther back and choose a different set of parents in order to secure yourself the same genetic advantages they had.
Here is where we get to the other part of this whole thing: decreasing muscle protein breakdown. Despite the power of growth signals like insulin, the negative regulators of growth (like myostatin) have far more influence on hypertrophy. Resistance training causes specific adaptations to decrease negative regulators. It also increases the amount of protein reused within the muscle. More specifically, it decreases amino acid turnover. We grow more muscle, but we also lose less muscle, too.
If you subjected professionals like Yates or Coleman to tracer method studies and biopsies, their rate of muscle growth would be the same as — or slightly higher than — the average-sized lifter, and that rate would still be optimized with 1 gram per pound of protein per day. The rate at which they lose muscle, however, would be significantly lower — along the lines of 10 times less. Unlike us, they lose nearly none of their hard-earned muscle mass.
The reason? Lower protein turnover.
If anything I said thus far has resonated, and you starting putting the pieces of the puzzle together, you're likely wondering whether super-dosing your protein will have any effect at all. If that's the case, you're also wondering whether there's any reason at all to keep spending so much money on tubs of casein and whey, and pounds of fish and beef.
Typically, when people begin super-dosing with protein, they do so because they've tried everything else, and they're desperate. At first, you'll feel great. You'll recover more quickly from your workouts; you'll tighten up; and your training will improve for a few weeks. After that things go downhill fast. You start losing your appetite, become lethargic, and your gains stall.
All this excess protein makes you feel good initially, for a number of reasons. First, you were likely eating too few calories, not too few grams of protein. When dietary protein levels go above the 1 gram per pound mark, the only metabolic change that occurs is protein oxidation. Your body starts getting energy from protein, and it begins replenishing glycogen reserves by converting the amino acids into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. This excess protein neither makes you bigger nor stronger. Rather, your body finally gets enough substrate to use for energy, and it can now shift from catabolic to anabolic to get you growing again.
Does toxicity exist at high dietary protein levels? Well, there's no evidence of this in the scientific literature. Kidney function is normal, if not enhanced, and bones become stronger. So, why not get all your extra calories from protein? Why not keep your carb and fat levels low or moderate and make up the difference with protein, consuming three or more grams per pound of body weight every day?
Well, if you're concerned with building strength or mass, there's plenty of reason to forego this extra protein. In nitrogen retention studies, when less nitrogen is flushed from the body than is taken in — and in which higher doses of protein don't cause greater levels of nitrogen excretion — the body doesn't incorporate the unaccounted-for protein into muscle tissue. It reaches the point where it can no longer clear the massive amount of urea. If your body can't get rid of this, it builds up throughout the day in your system.
This sounds bad, of course, but the only real consequences are the aforementioned loss of appetite and lethargy. If you hit the gym after work, you're screwed, because that's when urea buildup begins curbing enthusiasm and focus. The saturation point, taken from the accumulation of data, appears to be around 1.3 grams per pound, so there's a little wiggle room between optimum and inferior. So, what we have here is the fact that scientific research and empirical data make it clear that going beyond the 1-gram-per-pound mark is unnecessary, wasteful and potentially detrimental for strength and physique athletes.
Of course, I'm not opposed to high-protein diets in all situations. Because of dietary protein's ability to accelerate metabolism, preserve muscle mass, curb appetite and avoid being stored as fat, increasing protein content in the diet—or shifting macronutrients in favor of higher amounts of protein—is ideal for losing body fat, whether you're a physique competitor or an obese beginner.

So if you are only supposed to have 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, what should your macros be? My macros as of late have been 45% carbs, 35% protein, and 20% fat, eating at least 200 grams of protein a day, while weighing 145 pounds.
this is a good one. For bulk? Me I'm around 3200 calories, slow bulk (last three months I've took 3 pounds, but loose around 1% bf I think, I'll get results in 2 weeks) So around 5 pounds muscles. I think not more than 1,2 1,5 gr of protein by bodyweight. Fat is kind of low, 20%. I have a 35% protein, 33% carbs and 32% fat.
stop focusing on percentages. Hit your protein and fat goals and then fill the rest with carbs or whatever else you feel like filling your calories with
Keep focusing on percentages, thats the way the NASM recommends it. It is much better to do percents of macros than a random calorie fill.
AMDR is 45%-65% carb, 20%-35% fat, and 10%-35% protein.. It starts getting unhealthy to fall out of these ranges. They're there for a reason.
I do a fair amount of running and cardio along with weight training. While my reps and weight go up, my body mass doesn't and I feel like I'm going to hit a plateau if I don't gain more mass. I feel like my MPB is equal to my MPS and I am eating a sufficient amount of nutrients. Am I going to have to drop my cardio down to lower my MPB or is there another solution?
if you do too much cardio you may have to. To maintain muscle mass, you should be doing no more than 30 mins of HIIT cardio a day. Long distance cardio for long periods of time or HIIT cardio much more than 30 mins a day is detrimental to muscle growth. That is why sprinters are very muscular and marathon runners are very skinny.
Aelareua, sounds like you've been listening to Layne Norton. Good man.
One thing I would like to comment about is that for athletes the recommended amount of daily protein is 1.2g/kg weight/day and bodybuilders is 1.7g/kg weight/day. This is otherwise an excellent article, and I hope a lot of people read it because I know sooooo many people who grossly overestimate the amount of protein they need.
The ADA, FDA, and CDC say .8 g/kg LBM is the max for any normal person. 1.2 g/kg LBM is elite athletes such as marathon runners or football players, and 1.7 g/kg is professional bodybuilders (who are also juicing like no tomorrow). So unless you're a pro bodybuilder with freakish genetic ability to absorb and anabolic "help" you simply cannot absorb that much in a day (max rate is ~9 gm/hr for whey for a normal person).
Sorry I forgot to add for my protein intake amounts that it is for LBM thanks for the correction. Also though your body can only process about 9gm/hr you should take slightly more than that because all the protein you ingest doesn't get processed. So if you take in 9gm/hr that doesn't necessarily your body is processing 9gm, it may only be processing 7 or 8 of that 9 you took in. But of course don't take in much more than that.
Where are the sources for the "scientific research" or "empirical data" that is referred to through out this article? Also never answered "how to keep free amino acid levels at the right level, at the right time, for the right duration" which was referred to as "THE question."
I agree, this was the answer I was hoping to take away from the article.
I always use amino 2serving and whey after train :)
terrible article, didn't answer any of the questing that were asked. if the saturation point is around 1.3 grams/lb then shouldn't we do 1.3 grams/lb? for someone 200lbs with this saying not to go over 1g/lb that makes a 60 gram difference. Also like Jfort93 said it asked the question about how to keep free amino acid levels at the right level, at the right time, for the right duration but never answered that. how do we decrease protein turnover? it says that pros have 10 times less protein turnover but dosn't address how that is achieved. is it genetic or is it bc of the high protein diet?
didnt talk at all about the difference between taking in Xgrams/lb or body weight or Xgrams/lb of lean muscle mass. when i weighed 300lbs and was 30% bf did i need 300 grams of protein and when im 245 and 15% bf even tho i have the same amount of muscle now do i only need 245 grams of protein?
too many questions too little answers
I wanted to keep reading more about it, i hope you guys can make a more extended article about this; its really interesting and informative.
If the question is not "how much protein you should consume" but "how to keep free amino acid levels at the right level, at the right time, for the right duration", why does this answer the first question? I'm really interested in a good article on the second question.
Terrible article indeed! There are no sources that back up these so called "facts". None of what this is saying really makes any sense. I hate these "scientific articles" that claim to come out with a "breakthrough" study that goes against what we've always been taught in muscle building. These articles basically say what we're doing now won't work at all. There's a time and place for scientific research but a lot of times you have to rely on common sense.
Not a bad article, but after years of researching this kind of stuff and having studies claiming different optimal numbers of protein I decided to just stick with my personal philosophy on bodybuilding which is trial and error.
If protein overdosing is working for you, stick with it. If it's not helping than it's unnecessary. Like the author said, everyone is different so try out different things, take notes, and with time you'll know what is optimal for you.

I shed a tear the day I changed my last name.
My little weep was not because I had conformed to societal norms (never could flatter myself as a rebel), cried with despair at DMV inefficiency (I stay continually entertained in lines via "Fruit Ninja"), or had taken on a married name that a) rhymed with my first name, b) already belong to someone famous (Brochovitch) or c) would cause a room filled with 6th-graders to giggle.
In fact, amongst the slew of eastern European/Nordic/excessively German last names that permeate the Midwest, my married name—Clarke—is just about as inoffensive as it gets. It's one syllable, boasts a reasonable vowel-to-consonant ratio, and can be easily pronounced by anyone with a moderate command of the English language. Sure, the lurking silent e on the end is kind of a pain, but I can deal.
My single issue with my married name and the source of my sadness: Clarke is not Irish.
I grew up the loud, the proud Erin O'Neill. My grandfather had our family coat of arms displayed proudly in the living room; my dad regaled me with the violent tale of the Red Hand of Ulster, our family symbol; I even invested my meager Jamba Juice paycheck into O'Neill-brand surf tees, just to sport my name further. Yes, it was good to be an Irish girl.
Though my last name is no longer O'Neill, I still regard myself as all Irish, particularly on St. Patrick's Day. (Check back with me at Oktoberfest. I'll confess that I'm actually 75% German.) Come March 17th, you can believe I'll be baking Irish soda bread, sporting Kelly green Chuck Taylors, and sipping a glass of Jameson. Yes, I really am that cliché.
Comfortably in touch with my inner-child and outer-cheese ball, I love any excuse for a holiday theme meal; Irish cuisine, however, does not enjoy the warm repute of some of the country's more celebrated exports (i.e. Guinness). The fact that I associate a blended mint ice cream product with the holiday is probably a decent sign that not many Irish dishes are competing for culinary fame, at least here in the land of the Shamrock Shake.
Irish food is hearty, starchy, and generally designed to fuel farmers to withstand long days in soggy fields. Key ingredients include potatoes, sausages, potatoes, barely, potatoes, cabbage, and potatoes. Cheers for the super spud.
To celebrate St. Paddy's with a tasty, satisfying meal, I chose three traditional ingredients, added some sweetly sautéed onions, dried oregano, and punchy garlic, popped it all into the slow cooker, and rubbed my good luck charm. Lucky me! Irish Slow Cooker Potatoes, Sausage, and Cabbage is one of the easiest, most filling, and crowd-pleasing dinners I've made recently.
Every time I find a new slow cooker recipe I love, I ask myself why I don't use this magic kitchen appliance every night of the week. Let's try it. With a bit of imagination, we can trick ourselves into believing that we have a personal chef. While we (frequent the spa) (attend extravagant fundraisers) (sculpt our calves) (whatever else it is people with personal chefs do in their spare, non-cooking time), our personal chef (slow cooker) does all of the work for us. We pop in the ingredients, go about our Very Important Business (facial), and our slow cooker rewards us with a tender, aromatic meal.
Irish Slow Cooker Potatoes, Sausage, and Cabbage is an ideal option to celebrate St. Paddy's, and it's healthy too! Yukon gold potatoes add buttery taste and texture without the added fat, lean smoked turkey sausage brings depth and spice, and shredded cabbage acts as a vehicle for all that smoky-buttery flavor goodness, plus packs texture and nutrients of its own.
Though I created Irish Slow Cooker Potatoes, Sausage, and Cabbage in honor of St. Patrick's Day, it's no-fuss prep and great tastes makes it an ideal healthy choice any night of the week. Give the ingredients a quick chop and sauté the night before you plan to serve, dump them all into your slow cooker in the morning, and then return home to the warm smell of dinner, ready to be served.
I just love having a personal chef. Don't you?
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! Wishing you love, luck, and charms a plenty.
A healthy and hearty slow cooker meal packed with traditional Irish ingredients and flavors. Perfect for St. Patrick's Day or an easy weeknight dinner.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
- 5 small-medium Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 2-inch chunks (about 1 and 3/4 pounds)
- 12 ounces smoked turkey sausage, cut in 3/4-inch slices
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup water
- 5 cups chopped cabbage (about 1 large head)
- 1 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers (jarred is fine)
- In a large pot over medium, melt butter with olive oil. Once butter has melted, add onions and saute until they begin to soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 additional minute.
- Add potatoes, sausage, salt, oregano, and pepper. Stir and cook until sausage begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the entire pot to a 5-quart or larger slow cooker and cover with 1/4 cup water.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. During the last half hour of cooking, stir in the cabbage and red bell peppers. Serve warm.

Polls: Obama Maintains Support in California
(WASHINGTON) -- A handful of new polls show President Obama leading in important battleground states.
Surveys by CBS/New York Times/Quinnipiac rate him ahead in Virginia (50-46 percent) and Wisconsin (51-45 percent), while erasing a Romney lead in Colorado to pull ahead narrowly (48-47 percent). Other recent swing-state polls, released by NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist, showed Obama leading in Ohio (50-43 percent), Florida (49-44 percent) and Virginia.
In the large, Democratic states of California and New York, Obama hasn't seen much of a decline. His 2008 vote margins of 24 and 27 percentage points, respectively, remain virtually unchanged, according to recent polls from Field Research and Quinnipiac.

Security personnel in Redmond are investigating a newly reported zero-day bug vulnerability in Microsoft operating systems and server systems. The bug, disclosed Thursday by Bill Sisk, security response communications manager for Microsoft, allows escalation of privilege to occur for authenticated users under specific conditions.
Users on a given system can elevate their access privileges to LocalSystem in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008, Sisk explained in an e-mail. It could cause havoc by giving an authenticated user inappropriate write, delete, and change privileges.
The fix for this potential problem is still in the works.
"Microsoft has issued Security Advisory (951306) to provide guidance to affected customers to help them protect themselves. Upon completion of this investigation, Microsoft will take the appropriate action to help protect our customers. This may include providing a security update through our monthly release process," Sisk wrote.
The advisory is specifically addressed to IT pros overseeing an environment where several logged-in users provide their own code. Typically, programmers or administrators would have such rights. Specific cases include users working with Microsoft's Internet Information Services, which supports Web-based operational services, and SQL Server.
To address the issue, IT shops should keep at least a cursory, if not detailed, log of daily access to critical systems and applications. A segregation of duties program may be helpful too. Under such a regimen, programmers aren't deploying applications in a live production environment, and neither are the testers of those applications.
In the security advisory, Microsoft contends that companies providing space on their servers for use by off-site clients, or hosting providers, "may be at increased risk from this elevation of privilege vulnerability."

Toys Make Even The Toy Makers Happy
Because there's no such thing as a proper age or gender for who should have toys, the industry is one of the most lucrative enterprises in the world. In the United States, the toy industry is already worth over $21.5 billion and still rising despite our still present recession era. In fact during the peak years of the recession in 2009-2010, the toy industry still grew over 2%. Mattel and Hasbro control over 40% of the toy-making empire, yet that doesn't rule out the fact that there's a remarkable growth factor in revenue for the masses of toy makers and distributors everywhere. The United States has such an addiction for toys that even though it harbors less than 4% of the world's children, it purchases more than 40% of the world's toys. At $21.5 billion, the United States toy market is 26.8% of the world toy market, which is more than the music ($10.4 billion) and movie industry ($9.5 billion) combined. Even though globally 4 out of 5 toys are manufactured in China, the United States' toy budget works out to $280 per child, which turns out to be 14 times greater than the $20 per child that the Chinese spend on toys.
The types of toys we love are those that our children can cuddle up with, teach certain skills, and have some sentimental value. Some toys that have been around forever such as Barbie dolls and accessories have accounted for $3.3 billion – more than half of total Mattel's (the largest toy retailer in the world) total sales. Technology has become such a necessity in our lives that even toddlers can get their hands on their own tablets called a LeapPad. The $129 tablet sold out from Toys "R" us within an hour of its launch. The company, Leapfrog, had a surge that rose up to 80% over the first 3 quarters back in 2011 and is still holding firm numbers today. Of the toy category revenue in the United States as of recent, the top toys were infant/preschool toys ($3.8 billion), dolls ($2.7 billion), building sets ($1.99 billion), and plush ($1.89 billion).
Of all the toys, dolls and plush toys are picking up the most 'speed' in the industry. Most plush dolls have this sort of quirky look to them that people really take a shine to. Aside from them being cuddly and perhaps the safest toy that one can buy, there's not much to them and yet they're seemingly one of the most collected items around. They're such a hot item that popular franchises like The Simpsons and Star Wars have even turned some of their most iconic characters into little plush versions; You can even get them in plush keychain form.
There have been variations of plush toys that have been around for some time like the Furby doll, My Little Pony, Uglydolls (not just a clever name) and there are up-and-coming ones that are making a name for themselves like Expressaló toys that are neat as little designer toys with unique greeting card messages ranging from "Happy Birthday!" to "I'm sorry." Then there's Dooodolls that have ventured from parts of Asia, Europe and now have found a home in the United States with over 24 interesting looking characters, each with their own names that hysterically coordinate with their unique style and looks.
"I'm a collector of all kinds of toys, including plush," shares Amanda Anderson, a young collector from California. "I like plush toys because they're not to be taken seriously, just funny shapes and looks. Two of my favorites are Ugly Dog and Cozy Monster from Ugly Dolls, and my all time favorite Chewbacca plush."
For some people, plush toys are a perfect gift for toddlers as they're safe and different. One such person found that you can't go wrong with something strange in a cute way. Harrison McGunty, also from California who came across the popular Dooodolls at a recent toy convention in Anaheim, told us, "The little white Dooodoll that I got for my niece was the perfect gift. It was cute with little wings on the back of it like an angel, beady little eyes, and she loved the feel of it. It works great as a pillow because of its shape too. It's cute and safe for her."
They're strange, ugly, cute, cuddly, and silly. Whatever adjective you use to describe them, there's no denying that plush dolls are a fun toy for anyone of any age. And as we've seen plush dolls among the top selling type of toys in the world, it wouldn't be a surprise to see newer companies establish themselves with their own crazy looking doll and other big franchise turning their own toys into versions of plush.
In conclusion, the toy industry and market is a booming business and it seems our society in the United States can't get enough of the joy this industry brings!

Looking for Uncluttering and Organizing Motivation? Focus on What Makes You Happy
After reading this paragraph, set a timer for two minutes, close your eyes, and think about what makes you perpetually happy. If your mind starts to drift toward things that disappoint or upset you, gently remind yourself to focus on happy things and let the good thoughts flow. Ready?
Start now.
Did you last the full two minutes? No? Try again.
Congratulations! Focusing on good things for two minutes can be difficult. Now, pull up a blank document on your computer or grab a sheet of paper and a pen and list all of the wonderful things that came into your thoughts.
Did you think of your family or friends? Vacations and adventures? Praying or meditating? Relaxing or playing sports? Having a good meal? Figuring out a difficult problem? Laughing? Volunteering? Puppies?
Only you know what amazing things repeatedly bring you joy, so tailor your list specifically for you.
These things that make you happy are almost always the same things that matter most to you in life. These are your reasons to clear the clutter and get rid of the distractions. And, although work might feel like something that is keeping you from spending time on these endeavors, remember that you also need to take responsibility for the things that matter — and earning a paycheck is often how you can do that.
When you're in need of motivation during an uncluttering or organizing project, pull out this list of important things to remind you why you're working so hard. Also, consider hanging this list where you can easily see it and review it often. It will bring a guaranteed smile to your face, and keep you focused on what is important to you.

By Gary Stoller, USA TODAY
Anne Seymour says Washington, D.C.'s Belga Café helps her accomplish what her job is all about: "building relationships and partnering with people."
The Belgian restaurant, which calls itself "a little bit of Brussels," on Capitol Hill is near Seymour's home and is the only power lunch restaurant she uses.
"I love Belga, because it combines excellent food, a varied menu, great service and nice ambience for a quiet discussion," says Seymour, who works as a national crime victim advocate. "It's located on historic Barracks Row, so lunch is always followed by a quick historic tour, which my dining companions seem to really enjoy."
For many business people, a favorite restaurant for a power lunch is indispensable. It can help woo an important client, make or break a big sale or solidify a business relationship.
At USA TODAY's request, guidebook publisher Zagat Survey selected the best restaurants for power lunches in 19 of the nation's major cities, where business travelers often find themselves meeting clients or closing deals. All rate highly for food, service and décor, and each one can burn a big hole in a wallet.
•In Atlanta, Zagat Survey's pick, Bone's Restaurant, bills itself as "the in spot for many of Atlanta's movers and shakers."
Zagat Survey editors and reviewers say, "You can almost taste the prestige at this marvelous carnivore's castle and Buckhead boys hangout that's been serving beautifully prepared steaks, phenomenal martinis and a fantastic wine list for more than 30 years."
Food and drinks at Bone's Restaurant are brought by "extraordinary servers who treat you like a regular even if you're not one," the editors and reviewers say. "Major deals are consummated and special parties go on in the clubby, masculine dining room and semiprivate rooms."
•Zagat Survey's choice in San Francisco, Boulevard, is "one of the few sure-thing restaurants for business or pleasure" with "phenomenal, delectable New American dishes, a wine list from Bacchus and gorgeous design." It's difficult to "land a table, but once you're inside, the staff lives to please."
•At Manny's Steakhouse, Zagat Survey's top power lunch spot in Minneapolis, "the aura of power and testosterone suffuses this energetic meat emporium where big eaters pay big prices for huge steaks and megasize sides," the guidebook publisher's editors and reviewers say. The food is "scrumptious," and the staff is "knowledgeable and friendly."
•Durant's, Zagat Survey's top pick in Phoenix, is a "flashback to the '50s," where you feast on "thick steaks, wonderful fried chicken livers" and "martinis you could swim in," the editors and reviewers say. "Politicians, sports bigwigs and blue-haired ladies who fill the red-leather booths don't ever want it to change."
Zagat Survey CEO Tim Zagat says several factors play a role in choosing a power lunch spot.
"The place has to be fancy — usually club-ish — and the food and drinks have to be very good," Zagat says. "Cost should be on the high side," because the meal is tax deductible, and "you're trying to impress your guest."
Service must "be seamless and non-disruptive," he says. Space is "a priority," because "it's important to be able to talk without the people at the next table closing your deal before you do."
Parks are nice, too
Though many business people envision a high-profile restaurant when considering a power lunch, frequent business traveler Bill Catlette of Collierville, Tenn., says his power lunches are "not about seeing and being seen or doing serious damage to my credit card."
Catlette, an executive coach and author, says he views a power lunch as a private meeting to eat together and hear and understand one another. He loves holding his power lunches outdoors at such venues as two parks in Germantown, Tenn.
"Each has lakes, a picnic shelter and, best of all, practically no one else there midday during the week," Catlette says. "If I really want to make an impression with the food, I show up with freshly cooked fried chicken prepared by my wife and the ingredients for Caesar salad, which can be quickly tossed. With no menus to consult or interruptions from wait staff, we're free to focus on our real purpose for being there."
Several years ago, Catlette says, he had a memorable power lunch during a guided, one-day fly-fishing trip on Utah's Green River. At noon, the guide beached the boat on a sandbar and disappeared for an hour.
"My client and I dined on ribs from Memphis' Rendezvous restaurant that had been flown in for the occasion," Catlette says. "Our business relationship flourished, and, to this day, he still talks about our lunch and the day on the Green River."

I wasn't sure how deep to dig the hole for the concrete pier footing. Conventional wisdom says to make sure it's below the frost line, but that's not an issue here in sunny California. One of my primary motivations for building the observatory was to eliminate the setup process, including the time-consuming polar alignment. My hope was that the pier would be stable enough to allow me to achieve a 'permanent' polar alignment, so I needed a stable footing. My plan when I started digging was to go 4' deep.
Post digger for the pier footing hole (click on image for larger version)
I soon discovered that digging a hole is hard! The soil in my backyard has a high clay content, and it's almost as hard as rock. Eventually I resorted to using water to soften it up. I'd pour some water in the hole, give it a few minutes to soak in, dig a few inches deeper, then repeat.
Using water to soften the hard soil (click on image for larger version)
By the time I got to three and a half feet deep, I was exhaused and decided to call it a day.
I ordered the steel pier from Dean Lewis at Midwest Optics. When I mentioned that I had gotten to 3.5 feet, he told me that was plenty deep, and I was eternally grateful! He did suggest that I widen it a bit to give the pier more stability.
I think that's deep enough... (click on image for larger version)

Allot Awarded $6 Million Project To Provide Virtualized Parental Control Service To Tier-1 Mobile Operator
HOD HASHARON, Israel, February 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Allot Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: ALLT), a leading supplier of service optimization and revenue generation solutions for fixed and mobile broadband service providers worldwide, announced today that it has been awarded an approximately $6 million project from a Tier 1 operator which will be implemented in phases over several years. The project is based on Allot Service Gateway Parental Control Service. The project, awarded by a Tier-1 mobile operator in EMEA, highlights the importance mobile operators place on the cloud-based services which Allot's product suite enable.
The comprehensive solution was built in collaboration with an Allot technology partner. Its capabilities include URL filtering based on website categories, real-time content filtering, file blocking, protocol and application filtering, multi-policy controls for age appropriate segmentation and online content inspection and filtering for uncategorized URLs.
The deployment focuses on the capabilities of Allot's Service Gateway to identify traffic, in real-time, that belongs to subscribers registered for the Parental Control Service (based on the identification of the subscribers' service plan). Allot Service Gateway steers the subscribers' traffic to a virtualized Parental Control filter, which then screens the web pages for harmful or inappropriate content. The deployed solution is both transparent and flexible, enabling fast adoption of the service, quickly allowing subscribers to set up controls that will protect them and their family from malicious, harmful and unwanted content."The rapid penetration of mobile broadband, combined with the proliferation of mobile devices, has left children potentially exposed to inappropriate content without proper supervision," said Andrei Elefant, VP Marketing & Product Management. "Allot's Parental Control Service is a win-win for operators and subscribers alike. It provides operators with a new, easy-to-deploy revenue stream from existing network traffic and subscribers with the piece-of-mind that their families are shielded from inappropriate content."

text: http://launch.producerhq.com/5385 Exploring trEnds in thE christian music industry By matt conner What's next What's a girl to do when she's consistently pursued and made to feel wanted? In the case of new Reunion Records recording artist Kerrie Roberts, the result was her signature on the dotted line. The story of Reunion's latest female vocalist is a simple tale of persistence, especially by Jason McArthur, Vice President of A&R for Provident Label Group. As Roberts explains, "I would always run into him if I played a show in Nashville. Then I was in New York last year and he would be somewhere that I was playing. He was just so consistent, so that's what I was drawn to." McArthur kept at it, because of "one word" as he puts it. "Talent. Unbelievable, unmistakable, extraordinary talent. And a unique spirit," says McArthur. With that level of belief, Roberts set out to make the label's trust in her seem like the right move. "I think they knew they were getting an artist who could deliver live and have a lot to say as a writer," says Roberts. Leading things off for her debut self-titled LP is "No Matter What," an overview track that displays what Kerrie Roberts is all about as a person and an album. It also doesn't hurt to have producer Dan Muckala (The Afters, Brandon Heath) behind the wheel. Then again, Roberts says she has other favorites. "I think what is great about the single is that it does a good job displaying the overall theme of the record, which is purpose throughout the pain. For me, the songs that are my favorite are the ones that are more left-of-center, and it will probably always be that way." When asked about her vision for starting her career out right and how she wants to approach this newfound endeavor, Roberts speaks assuredly of what she's up against. It's a blessing and responsibility together, which she's quick to identify. "This is definitely a two-edged sword," says Roberts. "Anyone who is a creative person with music or visual arts has a need to express and that's how I am. I can't not write. I have to write. I've been putting together songs since high school and I've always been very passionate about it. "But it's not just self-expression," she continues. "It's also thinking about what people need to hear and what could possibly touch someone's heart. Specifically, Roberts Kerrie Roberts believes people will be able to relate to the emotional and spiritual themes found within her debut and with an impressive response at radio to the first single, it seems she's right. "With this record, I want people to be able to identify with it, to listen to it and know they're not alone," says Roberts. "I also hope that it encourages them and that they can feel hope in that. I know that's how music affects me is when I hear it, I know that someone understands me and that I'm not alone. That's the emotional impact that I'm hoping to have." That level of impact takes a lot of work, however, and it's something a rookie artist like Roberts isn't quite used to. There are endless interviews, lots of time on the road and a schedule that can be unpredictable. So when a recent Twitter feed read "feel like myself again," we asked her to explain. "The last month has been radio interview month. It's a lot of travel, which I love. I love meeting new people and the whole thing can be amazing. But you are saying the same thing again and again. It's not a creative season at all, so it's a real challenge to feel fresh. So it was really nice to feel creative again. It was nice to have that exercise again rather than just talking about being creative. I'm doing what makes me feel like me, which is staying up late creating at night while everyone else is asleep." www.kerrieroberts.com Click here for CCM's exclusive one-on-one interview with Kerrie. more 62 CCM

British Tan
I bought this shoe for business casual during a recent legal conference in Washington, DC. The shoe provides all-day comfort and, in British Tan, shows a distinct style. I went for dinner in Georgetown and noticed at least two other men wearing the exact same shoe (the Sebago name showing proudly). I smiled. It seems this combination of comfort and style is infectious.
These will definitely stand out with their slightly darker coloring near the toe area and their unique, wingtip detailing. Thank you for sharing this wonderful feedback of this style and bringing them out on the town!

What was behind the Soviet decision in December 1979 to invade Afghanistan? And why did Mikhail Gorbachev pull out Soviet troops 10 years later? What was the role of the U.S. covert assistance program, in particular the Stinger missiles? What role did CIA intelligence play? These were just some of the questions behind a major international conference organized in April by the Wilson Center's COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT (CWIHP) in cooperation with the Center's ASIA PROGRAM and KENNAN INSTITUTE, George Washington University's Cold War Group, and the National Security Archive. Designed as a "critical oral history" conference, the discussions centered on newly released and translated U.S., Russian, Bulgarian, German, Czech, and Hungarian documents on the war. Conference participants included former Soviet officials and National Security Council (NSC), State Department, and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officials from the Carter, Bush, and Reagan administrations, as well as scholarly experts from around the world.

As you're looking through the websites that can provide a company profile, accuracy is a must. Look for industry leading sites like www.geoinvesting.com that use accurate information, but condense it so that you can get an idea of what you're really looking at. As you become more familiar with the industry and with the terms used, you'll find that these types of websites are instrumental in remaining informed on stocks. As you look for a site, ask yourself the following questions.
Is There Stock Information on This Company Profile?
One of the most important things is getting accurate and comprehensive information on a company's stock performance. This doesn't just mean reading a list of numbers. You will actually need to understand the stock performance in context.
This means that the information should provide not only the numbers involved in a stock's history, but the key information that puts it into context, such as other stock's performance in the same time period, as well as the overall highs and lows.
How Comprehensive is the Company Profile?
Finding the right website can be tricky because you have two goals that can seem contradictory : You want comprehensive information, but you want it in a condensed format that's easy to read and understand. The documents that should be compiled are things like profit and lost statements, financial statements, previous earnings and the future outlook. You don't want to have to read through all of these documents, but you do want to choose a site that's taken them into consideration.
Is This Site Easy to Use?
Saving yourself the headache and time of going through each company profile yourself can be a huge relief, but not if it comes at the expense of having to deal with a website that's difficult to use or confusing. Look for websites with clean information and easy to understand menus. Search functions can be a big asset to. Make sure you're choosing a website that provides a method of contact in case you need further assistance.
How Up To Date is This Company Profile?
Getting up to date information is essential for two main reasons. First of all, if you're using a site that's outdated, you might buy a stock based on performance that is simply no longer accurate. On the other hand, you might not buy a stock because you didn't have access to information that would have shown you it was a good buy. No website that provides stock information is going to be helpful if it's not up to date.

Marine Animal Encyclopedia
Great Scallop Pecten maximus
Also known as the king scallop, the great scallop is usually found partly buried in sand. It is one of the few bivalves capable of rapid movement through water, which it achieves using a form of jet propulsion. The great scallop claps the two halves of its shell together, which pushes water out of the mantle cavity close to the hinge. It moves forward with its shell gape first, producing jerky movements as it takes successive "bites" of water. These odd movements may be a useful strategy for the great scallop to escape from predators. These edible bivalves are now farmed to meet growing demand.

Microsoft's own Steven Sinofsky, President of the Windows Division, has stated that screen size, resolution, and pixel density were each considered carefully when designing Windows 8 for users and developers. "When talking about screens, it is very important to be clear about the variable or dimension being talked about," says Sinofsky. "For example, a 13" screen might be running at any number of resolutions (which means any number of pixel densities) and might have one of several different aspect ratios. But just because more content can fit on screen this doesn't mean every app will make use of this space. If an app is designed with fixed dimensions or a specific form factor in mind, larger monitors may display a large empty region, as in the example below. This is not a good experience, as some have commented."
This is where "Post-HD" resolutions with pixel density reminiscent of Apple's Retina Displays come to mind. Microsoft has essentially analyzed the expected range of display sizes and resolutions for smartphones, tablets, notebooks, ultrabooks and desktops, and have identified a "sweet spot" zone for the three general classes of resolutions - Standard High Definition (1366x768), Full High Definition (1920x1080) and Quad XGA (2560x1440). The company ultimate anticipates a future in which tablets running Windows 8 ARM Edition will also feature resolutions higher than Full HD, similar to Apple's third-generation iPad (2048x1536), and has adopted solutions that will cater to such a wide diversity of pixel ranges - including new scaling methods for text and support for SVG as a standard development asset.

How I Found the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese

Club Lexus Represents At Toyotafest 2012

Owners and enthusiasts alike will travel from all over the world to come to this yearly Southern California event.
This is not your average show and shine car show, it's a gathering of everything and anything Toyota. All types of Toyotas are represented here including the first the 1958 Toyopet Crown (the first Toyota sold in the USA), a brand spanking new, fresh from the port, plastic wrapped 2013 Scion FR-S and of course plethora of custom VIP inspired Lexus. Along with the 300+ registered Toyota family of vehicles, Toyota Motor Sales USA (including Lexus and Scion divisions) brings their arsenal of one-of-a-kind project cars which are usually roped off at an autoshow platform. Toyotafest is a place to look at, reminisce and dream about cars we love. It's a great place to share stories with other Toyota enthusiasts alike. It is a family event that both young and old can relate to and it's living history we at Club Lexus are proud to be a part of. And the best part is that it's free to all spectators.

Once relegated to the side of a hearty breakfast or sandwiched between some lettuce and tomato slices, bacon has quietly propagated itself to become one the most ubiquitous meats in existence. While the fatty, succulent pork product is doubtlessly one of the most delicious things ever to grace this planet, these days it seems as though bacon can't simply be enjoyed in its own right. Instead, sizzling piles of the stuff seem to end up wrapped around just about everything imaginable, from hot dogs to corn on the cob. Extreme eaters (code for "people willing to eat disgusting things") weave the stuff together to wrap around their latest unholy culinary abominations. Does your turducken (already a meat within a meat) really need to be slathered with slabs of thickly cut cured pork? Call us old fashioned, but is there any rhyme or reason to smothering bacon in chocolate and passing it off as candy? There's a very serve bacon abuse problem sweeping through the nation— one that won't be solved by any amount of bacon-infused vodka.
Back when you were a kid, there was nothing more comforting that a steaming bowl of tomato soup and a couple of your mom's grilled cheese sandwiches. Imagine the look of horror on your mother's face if you told her that you could go down the street to your local chain diner and order up a some deep fried mozzarella sticks, suspended in gooey American cheese, cradled between two slices of bread. She might have a heart attack, and frankly, eating such a dish would put you well on the road to having one as well. Like an oozing, orange river, cheese has made its way onto almost every dish imaginable. It is admittedly one of the more versatile foods in all of existence, lending itself to everything from macaroni to topping off hot slices or apple pie. But the line has to be drawn somewhere, and covering a perfectly good steak dinner with melting gobs of the dairy product certainly isn't what it was intended for (go get yourself a Philly cheesesteak if you need some red meat with your cheddar.) Order up the six cheese mega nachos if you must, but we'd rather enjoy a portion of fresh mozzarella that won't leave us groaning in pain on a toilet.
Don't get us wrong, we love chocolate. Absolutely adore it, actually. We've got secret stashes of dark chocolate hidden at various points in our homes, just so we're always only a few moments away from a delicious sugar fix. But when we heard that the nation's trashiest all-you-can-eat buffet chain decided to introduce chocolate fountains in their establishments, we knew that things were getting out of control. Does anyone really need a constantly flowing lukewarm supply of chocolate to dip half eaten chicken wings in and inevitably start breeding some sort of fountain-transmitted super-disease? Come on chocolate, we've tried to be open-minded about all this. We overlooked your flirtatious trysts with proteins, back when you thought it might be nice to be a part of a steak sauce. We even turned a blind eye to your disgusting affair with a hot dog. The fact is, we just like you so much better when you're all by yourself. Or nestled in with some peanut butter. Or a bit of creamy caramel. Perhaps some nougat?
While hamburgers are technically a combination of several different foods, this list would seem dishonest if we didn't address the gross indignities this classic American dish has suffered in recent years. We're familiar the concept that when things become bigger, they are somehow transformed into something intrinsically better. While this undoubtably sheds some light on the country's current obesity epidemic (we're all just a bunch of over-eating over achievers) this mantra exposes its unreliability when applied to the realm of burgers. Are there really that many people clamoring to order a footlong cheeseburger at their local fast food chain restaurant? This only supports our suspicion that the food industry is conditioning us to only eat meals in 12-inch portions. We won't even waste time delving into the ongoing battle to create the most gigantic, inedible beef monstrosity— suffice to say, the only thing that seems to be standing in the way of a whole cow burger is a bovine-sized bun (or two really big grilled cheese sandwiches.)
