The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Is the US Monetary System on the Verge of Collapse?
By David Galland | September 13, 2011
This week we take in a piece that is somewhat outside my own box. There are a number of people who
feel strongly that the US (and world governments in general) cannot pull out of the downward
spiral they are in, that monetary policy is fixed on printing ever more money, and that the
problems of fiat currencies are now coming to the fore.
I was interviewed last week by David Galland and Doug Casey of Casey Research. Those of you
familiar with them know they (and especially Doug) have a strong libertarian bent and a distrust
of government. Not all that unusual, of course, except that they work at finding ways to invest
based on their philosophy. That has meant a lot of gold and natural resources, plus new tech,
which has worked at rather well overall.
In the interview, I was the *optimist.* By that I mean I was the guy who thinks the US government
will do what is necessary to bring down the deficit beginning in 2013. David pointedly asked, *So
you mean your *optimism* is based on your faith that the US political leaders will do the right
thing?* And the blunt answer is, *Yes, because not doing it would be a disaster, and I think,
based on conversations with some of them, that they actually get that.*
Which is the case I outlined in my book, Endgame.But if I am wrong and we do not deal with the
deficit in a controlled manner, then all bets are off. Sadly, the guys at Casey would be right.
So, today*s Outside the Box is an op-ed from David Galland.

address, you can see the entire webinar (and my part in it), or sign up now at
I think this week we*re going to be focused on Europe. I am getting ready for my trip there at the
end of next week, so I am reading more about the situation there to prepare myself. But right now
let*s focus on the US.

Is the US Monetary System on the Verge of Collapse?
By David Galland of Casey Research
Tune into CNBC or click onto any of the dozens of mainstream financial news sites, and you*ll find
an endless array of opinions on the latest wiggle in equity, bond and commodities markets. As
often as not, you'll find those opinions nestled side by side with authoritative analysis on the
outlook for the economy, complete with the author*s carefully studied judgment on the best way
Lost in all the noise, however, is any recognition that the US monetary system * and by extension,
that of much of the developed world * may very well be on the verge of collapse. Falling back on
metaphor, while the world*s many financial experts and economists sit around arguing about the
direction of the ship of state, most are missing the point that the ship has already hit an
iceberg and is taking on water fast.
Yet if you were to raise your hand to ask 99% of the financial intelligentsia whether we might be
on the verge of a failure of the dollar-based world monetary system, the response would be thinly
veiled derision. Because, as we all know, such a thing is unimaginable!
Think again.
Monetary Madness
Honestly describing the current monetary system of the United States in just a few words, you
could do far worse than stating that it is*money from nothing, cash ex nihilo.*
That*s because for the last 40 years * since Nixon canceled the dollar*s gold convertibility in
1971 * the global monetary system has been based on nothing more tangible than politicians'
promises not to print too much.
Unconstrained, the politicians used the gift of being able to create money out of nothing to
launch a parade of politically popular programs, each employing fresh brigades of bureaucrats,
with no regard to affordability.
Such programs invariably surged during political campaigns and on downward slopes in the business
cycle when politicians hearing the cries of the constituency to *do something* tossed any concern
about balancing budgets out the window of expediency. After all, the power to print up the funds
for debt service whenever needed makes moot any concern over deficit spending.
Former VP Cheney, who fashions himself a fiscal conservative, let the mask drop when, in 2002, he
stated that *Reagan proved deficits don*t matter.*
Those words were echoed just a few weeks ago, when both former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and
Obama economic advisor Larry Summers, in separate interviews, said almost the same, paraphrased
as, *There is no chance of the US defaulting on its bonds, not when our government can borrow
dollars and print new dollars to meet any future obligations.*
Of course, Greenspan and Summers were referring to an overt default * of just not paying * and not
to a covert default engineered by inflation. Unfortunately, like virtually all of the power elite,
both miss the point that the mountain of debt that has been heaped up since 1971 is fast reaching
the point of collapsing like a too-big tailings pile and taking the monetary system down with it.
Importantly, the debt shown in this chart whistles past the government's unfunded liabilities, in
particular for the Social Security and Medicare systems. Adding those would more than triple the
US government*s acknowledged obligations * to over $60 trillion.
Given the role the US dollar plays as the world*s de facto reserve currency * with all major
commodities priced in dollars, and dollars forming the bulk of reserves held by foreign central
banks *the dismal shape of the US monetary system spells trouble for the global monetary system.
Making matters worse, following the lead of the United States, governments around the world long
ago adopted similar fiat monetary systems. You can see the deficit contagion in this next chart.
It is worth noting that the dire condition of the United States now leaves it in the same muddy
wallow as Europe*s desperate PIIGS.
In a recent article in The Telegraph, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard referenced a paper out of the BIS
that paints the picture using appropriately stark terms.
Stephen Cecchetti and his team at the Bank for International Settlements have written the
definitive paper rebutting the pied pipers of ever-escalating credit.
*The debt problems facing advanced economies are even worse than we thought.*
The basic facts are that combined debt in the rich club has risen from 165pc of GDP thirty years
ago to 310pc today, led by Japan at 456pc and Portugal at 363pc.
*Debt is rising to points that are above anything we have seen, except during major wars. Public
debt ratios are currently on an explosive path in a number of countries. These countries will need
to implement drastic policy changes. Stabilization might not be enough.*
Viewing the situation from another perspective, we turn to the work of Carmen Reinhart and Ken
Rogoff, who studied the factors contributing to 29 past sovereign defaults. They found that
default or debt restructuring occurred, on average, when external debt reached 73% of gross
national product (GNP) and 239% of exports. Using the Reinhart/Rogoff findings, Casey Research
Chief Economist Bud Conrad prepared the following chart showing that the US government is already
far along on the path to bankruptcy.
It*s hard to argue against the contention that the situation is, to be polite, precarious. Given
that the obligations of the US government, as well as most of the world*s other large economies,
are now impossible to repay and that their reserves are just IOUs backed by nothing, the stage is
set for a highly disruptive but entirely necessary do-over of the fiat monetary system.
*Preposterous!* say the lords of finance and masters of all.
Is it?
Of course, these very same mavens completely missed the looming housing crash and the depth and
duration of the subsequent crisis * a crisis that is still far from over. In other words, listen
to them at your peril, because in our view it*s essential in calibrating your financial affairs to
understand that, if history is any guide, we are now well down the road to a collapse in the
monetary system.
In fact, over its relatively short history, the US monetary system has come unglued time and time
again thanks to politically expedient attempts to interfere with the workings of a free market in
order to reward constituents or kick the can on the economic problems of the day down the road.
Thus it is our contention that while the mainstream media focus on the daily gyrations of equity
markets or the futile political charade that is Washington, they overlook powerful tectonic
rumblings indicating the world*s prevailing monetary system is about to fracture.
A Brief Timeline of US Monetary System Failures
Here*s a brief history of past disruptions here in the United States. Importantly, with the US
dollar now the de facto reserve currency of the world, this time around it*s global.
1861 *When the Civil War begins, the dollar is convertible into gold and silver.
1862 *Congress passes the Legal Tender Act and authorizes the issuance of non-redeemable
"Greenback" currency. Convertibility into gold and silver is suspended for all US currency.
1863 *National Banking Act authorizes the chartering of banks by the federal government.
1865 * A 10% tax is levied on the issuance of bank notes by state-chartered banks, effectively
ending that practice.
1879 *The US Treasury resumes redeeming dollars for gold and silver.
1900 * Passage of the Gold Standard Act, adopting the gold standard by the United States and
demonetizing silver.
Specifically, the act provided for "...the dollar consisting of twenty-five and eight-tenths
grains (1.67 g) of gold nine-tenths fine, as established by section thirty-five hundred and eleven
of the Revised Statutes of the United States, shall be the standard unit of value, and all forms
of money issued or coined by the United States shall be maintained at a parity of value with this
But 33 years later, to gain the power to inflate the currency and collect the profit from doing
1933 * By executive order, Franklin Roosevelt prohibits the private ownership of gold. Congress
passes the Gold Reserve Act, which enacts Roosevelt's executive order, abrogates all gold clauses
in all contracts public or private, past or future (which cancels the convertibility of Federal
Reserve notes into gold), though it confirms the convertibility of US Treasury notes held by
foreigners into gold. Eleven years later, the US government takes its show on the road*
1944 * Bretton Woods system adopted with signature countries agreeing to tie the exchange rates of
their currencies to the US dollar, which itself is linked to a fixed price of gold. Foreign
trading partners retained the right to swap dollars for gold, imposing a de facto restraint on
printing more dollars. For all intents and purposes, the US dollar becomes the world*s reserve
currency. But 27 years later*
1971 * Nixon abruptly closes the *gold window,* unilaterally reneging on the Treasury's promise to
allow foreign governments to redeem dollars for gold. Bretton Woods collapses. With no remaining
tie to a tangible, the dollar is reduced to a paper token. The transition to a global fiat
monetary system is complete.
Until 40 years go by and the inevitable consequences of giving politicians free rein over money
creation become untenable*
Present day * Sovereign debt crisis. Desperate, debt-laden governments around the globe * the bulk
of their reserves composed of fiat US dollars and euros at risk of going up in smoke * turn to the
only thing they know, printing more money and issuing yet more debt. The global monetary system
cracks and heads toward failure with no workable alternative on the horizon.
Governments, corporations and investors alike are caught unprepared in the downward spiral of
failing fiat currencies and are wiped out by a combination of frantic currency debasements, higher
taxation, exchange controls and worse. Social unrest spreads, with the public paradoxically
demanding that governments do more, not less.
That*s because all the world*s major currencies are at risk, simultaneously, as the issuers engage
in a dangerous race to the bottom. As the monetary system moves inexorably toward terminal
debasement and collapse, the results will be catastrophic for the unprepared.
Importantly, while the list of historical attempts to re-jigger the US monetary system have, to
this point, more or less succeeded in kicking the can a bit further down the road, the sheer scale
of today*s government obligations has driven us into a box canyon, with no way out. As the
government*s debt and spending obligations are mathematically impossible to resolve, it is now a
certainty that a lot of people are going to wake up one morning to the reality that they are a lot
poorer than they thought.
Fortunately for those now paying attention, the collapse of a monetary system doesn't happen in a
flash. It is a progression, like the spiral of water down a drain. Thus, while no one can predict
exactly when the downward spiral will accelerate out of control, there is still time to prepare.
Dark though the lens may be, this is the lens through which we here at Casey Research view all our
investments. Simply, being right or wrong about your investment decisions in the years just ahead
will be insignificant if the currencies underpinning those investments shrivel to just a fraction
of their current values.
The dismal state of the US economy and out-of-control government spending affects every American*s
life and wealth. In the free online video event, The American Debt Crisis* How Big? How Bad? How
to Protect Yourself, held on September 14, 2011, a Casey Research team of Doug Casey, Bud Conrad,
Olivier Garret, Terry Coxon and David Galland will be joined by guests John Mauldin, Mike Maloney
and Lew Rockwell to discuss the potential for a breakdown in the monetary system, and specific
ways to protect and build your assets. Register for this free event today at

all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. Often, alternative investment fund and
account managers have total trading authority over their funds or accounts; the use of a single
advisor applying generally similar trading programs could mean lack of diversification and,
consequently, higher risk. There is often no secondary market for an investors interest in
alternative investments, and none is expected to develop.

DVD Authoring on Linux
Authoring video DVDs with Linux was a problem for a long time, but a few useful tools are closing the gap. And Q-DVD-Author gives you a handy front-end for controlling the process.
Finished at last: after weeks of tinkering with your video-editing software, that long-winded video of your last summer holiday has finally become a presentable and enjoyable home movie. But now what? Today's upwardly mobile urban generation will not accept anything less than a DVD, not to mention the menu, chapter selections, and the other goodies found in commercial video DVDs. Obviously, your normal burning tool isn't going to help you, since it expects special movie and filesystem formats and a complex menu structure rather than a simple home movie. In other words, you need a DVD authoring tool. Box 1 has in-depth information on DVD video formats for those of you interested in more detail.

First-Timers: Celebrating Learn to Ski & Ride Month with the kids
Categories: Outdoors
Photo: Colin Bane |
Dangerg!rl, age 5, at Winter Park |
January is Colorado Ski Country USA's Learn to Ski & Ride Month, and I'm celebrating with a project close to my heart: Teaching my 5 year-old daughter and 7 year-old son how to snowboard. We had our first day on the mountain together yesterday at Winter Park.
Ski lessons at most resorts begin as young as age 3, but skiing is against my religion and I decided to wait out the snowboarding introduction until my kids could each handle some basic skateboarding skills and had some winter sledding experience under their boots. Most people seem to recommend waiting until about age 6 for snowboarding, so I split the difference in the interest of getting them both on the mountain together, the better to fit my fatherly fantasy of a lifetime of family snowboarding adventure.
Photo: Colin Bane |
Speed Boy, age 7, at Winter Park |
We took it slow and spent most of our first day on the magic carpet rides and bunny slopes at the base of Winter Park, but by the end of the day they were both carving heelside and toeside turns, bombing straight down, and even riding switch. If Dangerg!rl took a turn too hard and did a 180, she just took it in stride and kept on going: It turns out that concepts like "regular" and "goofy" are outdated old-timer notions: If your kid doesn't have a clear natural stance preference, don't try to force one on them.
Let me rewind a bit: It was important to me to get my kids on skateboards first, and mine have been playing on skateboards since before they could stand. Knowing how to push, balance, and turn on a skateboard makes learning to snowboard a whole lot easier (and cheaper). Some of what goes into snowboarding can be learned away from the mountain.

Drast!c Dad and his superhero snowboarders |
Speed Boy and Dangerg!rl are repurposing their skateboard helmets for the slopes but other than that, all told, we got them each outfitted for the season with their own gear from head to toe (boards, boots, and bindings included) for about what three days worth of rentals would have cost us.
Kids 5 and under are free at most resorts, and Winter Park won't hassle anybody for a lift ticket if you're spending the day on the magic carpet rides, but you'll only get away with it for about a day. Snowboarding -- real snowboarding -- requires a little bit of a slope.

May 31st 2007 8:39AM Being a shaman can really be hard at times. Especially if you put your Resurrection and Astral Recall Hotkeys next to each other.... Needless to say, the group had a good laugh when I reincarnated and astral recalled after a wipe.
Why other MMOs remain the underdogs {WoW}
May 30th 2007 7:16AM Make an MMO where players can actually interract with and control the world they play in - say altering the landscape by building houses, farming etc. Making political systems and a more player-run realm to play in.
Currently WoW offers rewards in terms of phat lewt; the classic "carrot on a stick" as someone reffered to earlier. By rewarding players with actual "power" in-game would be a huge step, and would require even more customer support, but would sure be a huge addition to the MMO world.
Giving players a responsibility to their realm/server would be interesting. If players had the ability to chop down trees to produce lumber for houses etc, they would also have the eventual power of turning lush forests into barren plains.
Oooh the ideas keep coming. I wanna make my own MMO xD

I've wanted a Stewartia for quite some time now, and found one locally on sale, an S. japonica. I'm considering where to plant it. I have one spot that's got good room and it fits my needs there, which is for a small tree. However, it gets full sun exposure, and I read that Stewartia like some shade from late afternoon sun. I'm wondering if due to how far north I am and the fact that it will be planted in a mulched bed of well composed manure over very fine sand if it will be OK in full sun. Will planting it amongst trellised clematis give it enough shade?
What is your experience with this lovely tree? Dare I chance a full sun exposure? If not, I will have to probably expand a bed a bit so that I have a spot to plant my Stewartia. |

Oops, make that name S. Pseudocamellia, common name Japanese Stewartia. |
I could tell you only from my experience that my S.koreana which is planted in SW exposure (6+ hours of afternoon sun) is always having fried tips on a leaves starting from mid-August despite being well watered. However, I planted S.pseudocamellia in a friend's garden in an only available place where it is exposed 4 hours to the late day sun and it is doing great there. |

funny, i had that same question once but my stewartia pseudocam. has been in full sun ( and 2' from the house!)for 12 yrs and surprisingly does fine.it is now the height of a 2 story house.with this drought it does have crisped leafedges this yr. best, mindy |
Thanks Mindy and George. I knew that I would find folks actually growing this tree here on the New England forum who would share their experience. |

Honda Civic Si Automatic
thegraduate Posts: 9,731Well, I was basically responding to posts like #20 that recommended Honda do something like the Sentra and offer an automatic, maybe with reduced peak power.
The Sentra wouldn't lose all the fun because it has a lot more low-RPM power to play with, and automatics typically find the highest gear they can comfortably perform what the driver's foot expects. With a Civic, if running down a two-lane road in a "fun" way (i.e.: fast), and you let off the gas, the an automatic will go back to lower-RPM versus the high-RPM you were doing when you gunned it down the next straightaway. From that low RPM, the Sentra will still have some punch, while the Civic would be left waiting for the downshift to get it back "on-cam" and making its high-revving power.
With a manual, you can leave the Civic on-cam while not actually using the gas pedal, and will be immediately ready for the next big acceleration burst. -
thegraduate Posts: 9,731
kenlw Posts: 190my comments weren't directed at you in particular, it's just the way the forum is set up... but 2L or 1.8L, it's still a 4 cylinder civic for pete's sake. Some folks would gladly trade "performance" for a bit of power.
even tossing 25-30% with an auto, the 2L would still give you more power than the 1.8L (with auto). It's just that simple. Even tho personally i am perfectly able to use a manual and have in years past, my present needs just don't warrant a manual. (Driving 60-80 miles a day in Houston traffic isn't exactly cut out for performance of any type! ...endurance, yes, performance, no....)
Granted, the lack of torque at useable speeds would remain a handicap for most normal drivers, there's just no getting around the fundamental shortcomings of a high-rpm, low torque power plant for most urban drivers, manual or auto. Altho the auto would exacerbate the problems, it would still provide a bit more power for those that want it. -

Why Dylan's a fan of Robert Johnson
In Dylan's Words ''You have to wonder if Johnson was playing for an audience that only he could see, one off in the future. 'The stuff I got'll bust your brains out,' he sings. Johnson is serious, like the scorched earth. There's nothing clownish about him or his lyrics. I wanted to be like that, too.''
Let Us Explain Johnson is a larger-than-life figure a legend, both literally (the tall tale about how he sold his soul to the devil at ''the crossroads'' in exchange for his blues chops) and figuratively (he has no other equal in the realm of blues music). Move over Elvis: Many have even called Johnson the ''father of modern rock 'n' roll.''

"Delicious! Nice and different way to cook squash."
"Really REALLY good! I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and cut the regular sugar down to 1/4 cup. The only change I will make next time is in the frosting. 1 1/2 cups sugar was too sweet but that is just personal preference."
"Delicious! I cut the recipe in half and it was enough for 3 of us. I was very leary about it at first but the flavour was fantastic. I did use 1/2 tsp salt though. The recipe doesn't call for salt...Loved it thanks!"
"Delish! I used 3/4 pears and 1/4 peaches. I also substituted the sugar for agave nectar and then used the brown sugar for the crumble and margarine for the butter. Best crisp recipe ever! I'll be trying it with apples and cherries next. Thanks for sharing!"

"Really good! I substituted 1 tablespoon of ground up flax seeds and 1 tablespoon water for the egg and margarine for the butter. I also increased the baking powder to 2 teaspoons. Nice change from regular pancakes!"

CRFD Says Goodbye to old Central Fire Station
(CBS2/FOX28) CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa It was LIVE on the FOX 28 News at Seven we witnessed the end of an era as demolition crews began knocking down the old Central Fire Station.
For many in Cedar Rapids, the building had been a symbol of what was lost in the floods of 2008, however, for firefighters it was more like an old friend.
This was our home one-third of our life, said Captain Joel Miles of the Cedar Rapids Fire Department. Our families would come visit, wed have Christmas get-togeathers, Thanksgiving get-togeathers.
Joel says the sense of loss he feels is shared by all who worked in the building but he adds watching each wall crumble comes with it excitement too. Soon he and his fellow firefighters will have a new place to call home in a location less vulnerable to future flooding.
Theres a lot of positives, said Miles.
The new Central Fire Station is scheduled to be completed on August 16th.

First & Corresponding Author: David L. Reed
Status: Published in Public Library of Science (PLoS) - Biology
"The record of our past is written in our parasites..." (Alan Rogers, professor of anthropology at the University of Utah)
Questions concerning exactly how and when modern humans arose from their primate ancestors are amongst the most intensely debated topics in evolutionary biology. Fragmentary fossils and patchy genetic data provide key insights but fail to address a key question - did modern and archaic human species come into direct contact? Our study published in PLoS-Biology claims that not only did they meet, but that our ancient human relatives brought with them an unwelcome side effect - their head lice!
In this collaborative project between scientists at the universities of Florida, Utah (USA) and Glasgow (UK) we compared the evolutionary history of parasitic lice with that of humans and their primate ancestors. We show that human head lice are composed of two distinct lineages, one of which evolved on the scalps of another human species before making the jump to our own. One group has a worldwide distribution, while another, less common type is found only in the Americas. Just like modern humans (Homo sapiens), the group of head lice found worldwide underwent a so-called population "bottleneck" - an event that cuts the amount of genetic diversity in a population. These different groups of head lice diverged from each other around 1.18 million years ago. We propose that the less common group evolved on an extinct group of humans (perhaps Homo erectus) which remained isolated from our ancestors until some tens of thousands of years ago, when they re-established contact with each other. One million years ago, Homo erectus was established both in Africa and in East Asia. In Asia, Homo erectus could have remained isolated until a second wave of migration out of Africa brought modern humans into contact with them and their lice, less than 100,000 years ago. The research also supports the 'Out-of-Africa' theory of human evolution, in which Homo sapiens replaced earlier human groups throughout the world.

Synopsis on PLoS - Biology website (or download the PDF from the PLoS-Biology website, 36Kb)
Parasites can be used as unique markers to investigate host evolutionary history, independent of host data. Here we show that modern human head lice, Pediculus humanus, are composed of two ancient lineages, whose origin predates modern Homo sapiens by an order of magnitude (ca. 1.18 million years). One of the two louse lineages has a worldwide distribution and appears to have undergone a population bottleneck ca. 100,000 years ago along with its modern H. sapiens host. Phylogenetic and population genetic data suggest that the other lineage, found only in the New World, has remained isolated from the worldwide lineage for the last 1.18 million years. The ancient divergence between these two lice is contemporaneous with splits among early species of Homo, and cospeciation analyses suggest that the two louse lineages codiverged with a now-extinct species of Homo and the lineage leading to modern H. sapiens. If these lice indeed codiverged with their hosts ca. 1.18 MYA, then a recent host switch from an archaic species of Homo to modern H. sapiens is required to explain the occurrence of both lineages on modern H. sapiens. Such a host switch would require direct physical contact between modern and archaic forms of Homo.

[Did you read the first Jack-off Journal?] November 17th, 2009 I watched a threesome scene in The King of Coochie 4, with Sasha Grey, Sunny Lane, and Tom Byron. Sasha and Sunny were great, but wow, Tom is a creeper and a half. Things that I am entirely certain need to be outlawed in porn (all . . .
Pussy a Go Go is a fake documentary about a traveling burlesque carnival show — or, rather, the (often sexual) exploits that go on behind the scenes.

Ahhh, you got some really good ones! Why is that pets are so much more fun to photograph then people - or is it just me??? |
No, it's not just you, Jean. For me, I think it's waiting for that pet moment when the little darling does something more human-like than pet-like. Of course, it's always fun to get people on compact flash when they're acting pet-like. :D Brenda |

Listen closely, hardgainers. I'm just like you so you're not alone. In fact, the majority of bodybuilders are in the "sucky-genetics" category – which is exactly why you got involved in bodybuilding in the first place.
You're tired of being scrawny and getting blank stares from people when you tell them you body build. You don't blame them because you find it (just as) hard to believe that you bust your butt in the gym 5 days a week and have little to show.
Our bodies are more suited to be one of those lean, mean, running machines than looking jacked like Hugh Jackman from Wolverine.
Muscle building supplement companies exploit and take advantage of your desires by over promising huge gains, "better than steroids" promises and dramatic feats of strength – but you're starting to believe it's just a bunch of smoke and mirrors.
Or is it?
Yes and no. Supplements are not the key to winning your first bodybuilding show or shocking your friends when you rip your shirt off but they can make a 10% improvement assuming you have your diet, training and lifestyle dialed to the right station.
The secret is to understand there are no best muscle building supplements for everyone.
You have to analyze why you're a hardgainer and then use the bodybuilding supplements that solve your hardgainer problems, rather than using every glitzy supplement in the yard.
But before we address which bodybuilding supplements you need, let me be brutally blunt:
1. Don't ask me what the best muscle building protein supplement is if you're not eating protein every three hours.
2. Don't even think of asking me about pre-workout and post-workout protein drinks to buy if you're not even eating enough calories.
3. Don't you dare ask me what NO2 product to take if you're not sleeping 8 hours a night.
4. Don't even think about asking me what test booster to take if you're boozing until four in the morning on weekends.
5. Don't embarrass yourself and ask what multivitamin to take if you're not eating at least 10 serving of fruits and veggies a day.
Take home message before buying any supplements: Always ask yourself, "What am I trying to get this supplement to do that my diet cannot do?"
Bodybuilders knew this before supplements were even invented and relied on the most anabolic hormone available – whole food. Let that sink in for a moment.
I understand that it's impractical to get bodybuilding amino acids and nutrition into your system in three hour intervals from solid meals every time.
I know that you may in fact be at a 90% threshold in your training, diet and lifestyle which means you're maximizing every element that you can control naturally.
Now it's time to bring on board the best bodybuilding supplements that will appeal to the majority. Remember, you need to create your supplement program based on your individual needs but for 90% of the hardgainers reading this, 90% of the time, the bodybuilding supplements below will be a solid foundation to invest in. Here they are:
Many guys think that if they take creatine, they're going to grow. These individuals are extremely misled so it's vital that you get a better understanding of what creatine will and will not do for you.
What creatine essentially will help you with is putting in the hard work at the gym. It does this by replenishing the high energy compound called creatine phosphate, which the muscles need if they are going to keep contracting with intensity – and you're going to keep lifting weight.
Once your creatine stores run out, you're going to feel like you've hit a wall with your workout – no matter how much you will yourself to push more weight, it isn't going to happen.
Some guys will have diets naturally high in creatine (those who eat a high amount of red meat for instance), but on average, most people who are involved with heavy lifting fall short.
Creatine bridges this gap and makes sure that lack of creatine phosphate in your system doesn't become a problem.
When used properly, it can help you work harder so you can see better results – but it is not going to do the work for you.
Micellar-Isolate Protein Powder
Another supplement that I do recommend to most people is micellar isolate protein powder. When you're working hard in the gym, your protein needs are going to go up and if you struggle to get enough with food, you could risk not seeing maximum muscle gains.
Protein powder is convenient, it's cost effective, and it's great for before, during, and after your workouts.
Just don't go start replacing all your 'should-be solid food' meals with protein powder. That I would not recommend.
Choosing micellar isolate protein is the best decision since this is the highest quality form of protein powder and releases much more slowly in the body so you will get a steady stream of amino acids for a longer period of time.
I have personally been experimenting with a variety of micellar isolate protein powders and prefer the variety of amino acid release rates than just one or the other.
Essential Fatty Acids
There is a great deal of research to support the positive health benefits of regularly including essential fatty acids in your day. If you are not eating a higher amount of fatty fish, flaxseeds, or walnuts, chances are you are not getting the essential fatty acids you need.
Using an essential fatty acids supplement makes it incredibly easy to reach your needs and is available in capsule form. Some of the benefits you will receive from a regular intake include enhanced energy, better insulin-glucose control, increased immune system function, mood regulation, and enhanced lean muscle retention and building.
An essential fatty acid supplement is one product that you do not want to miss.
A Greens Product
Finally, the last bodybuilding supplement that you should be taking is some form of greens product. When you're shooting to gain the types of muscle mass you're looking to do, you're going to be eating a very high volume of food – so much that at times you're going to really struggle to get it in.
This means that you must focus on as calorie dense foods as possible. Unfortunately, that means most whole vegetables are not going to have much of a place on your diet. They will simply fill you up too fast and prevent you from getting the calories in.
But vegetables are extremely important for a healthy body from a vitamin and micro-nutrient standpoint, and this is where the greens product comes in.
When you take this, you'll get the nutritional assurance you need while freeing yourself up to focus on those calorie dense food sources that will help you build the lean muscle mass.
Got anymore specific muscle building supplement questions? Post them below.
P.S. I know you guys are going to bombard me with, "Which brand should I take?" And here is my answer because this question used to drive me crazy too.
First off, there is not a best muscle building supplement brand. It's impossible to determine. Everyone will tell you something different. You won't be able to tell the difference (for the most part). And you'll waste enough to energy to sprint up the CN Tower so do yourself a favor and take MY advice:
You cycle your calories. You cycle your cardio. You cycle your weight routines. You cycle the foods you eat so cycle various supplement products too.
In light of adaptation I suggest you cycle various products to maximize your gains and give up the search for the best brand.
If the best bodybuilding supplement brand existed, you would know about it and be using it already.

A few weeks ago, Bill Nemitz of the Portland Press Herald wrote a marvelous column about town clerks and voting in Maine. You can look at it here. The gist of it was that clerks in Maine are not likely to be ruffled by national scrutiny if it turns out that the whole election rests on the one electoral vote in Maine's Second Congressional District. See, Maine splits its electoral votes, unlike most states, so in a bizarre fantasy world, it could happen. Not likely, but whatever. It was a great column, and he put voice to what many of us know to be true: Maine Town Clerks are not to be trifled with.
A couple of weeks ago, I had the occasion to visit with an old colleague/competitor at her vacation place up in Machias. We worked at competing daily newspapers many years ago but have remained friendly. She is a hardened veteran of daily news reporting, and I was a neophyte right out of college, more accustomed to being IN the news as a protester or activist than writing the news from the other side of the notebook. I still scooped her once or twice. Back then, that was the highlight of my month. But anyway, we laughed and talked and told stories over a homemade meal. I mentioned the Nemitz column and we both agreed with his assessment.
See, most people view voting process and procedure as some murky thing done in back rooms by scary people with axes to grind. S and I know, and truly, any reporter who has ever covered a small town election day knows, that town clerks, particularly town clerks in small Maine towns, hold few things in higher regard than the election process. I know of no clerk who was more partisan than she was clerk. I cannot imagine it. These women - for most of them are women - might be ardent supporters of one candidate over another, of one party over another, but never - and I do mean NEVER - would they compromise the integrity of the voting and counting process. Period.
These old gals (for many of them are seniors) are the keepers of democracy in its purest form. They are the pith and marrow of democracy in Maine, and truly, in America. If their candidate loses by one vote in their town, then he loses by one vote. Period. That's all there is to it. There is no wiggling of the votes. There is no fenagling of anything. The votes were cast. They were counted. The numbers are the numbers and the clerks dutifully call them in to the Bangor Daily News and to the local candidates when the tally is done. In Maine, the BDN has historically been the agency that works with the Secretary of State's office to compile and tally vote totals all over Maine. Darned if I know why, but that's how it is done here.
So anyway, S and I got to talking about town clerks we'd known over the years. A favorite was an old battle-axe of a woman out in B, Maine. God bless dear CM, she's still kicking around in municipal government, so I won't name names or actual locations. CM is legendary among town clerks in that section of Maine. For years and years, she kept all municipal documents in her kitchen, tax stuff, car registration stuff, hunting licenses, fishing licenses, everything, right there in boxes and file cabinets. On Halloween night, she'd be up late, not giving out candy, but issuing hunting licenses for deer season that starts at dawn on November 1. She ran the whole town and dispatched the volunteer fire and rescue and ambulance service as well. She ran well-baby clinics and kept an eye on who was in need and who was building without a permit. One year, when things were particularly contentious in town, she was asked to moderate the annual town meeting.
Now in Maine, the annual town meeting is a thing unlike any other. Voters get together to decide the entire municipal budget and to approve or reject any major policy issues, decide on roads and schools and local emergency services. And then there is often a potluck dinner when it is done. Town meeting is serious stuff. And in small towns, it behooves residents to disagree without being disagreeable, because the guy you're shouting at in debate is going to be the one driving the fire truck when your house is burning. So anyway, CM was asked to moderate in a year when emotions were high.
She arrived and took the podium as moderators do. She set aside the gavel and gave the podium a sharp rap with her rolling pin. "Now listen," the legend has her cautioning the opposing groups assembled in the grange hall, "the first one of you bahstids to step outta line gets smacked in the head." She brandished the rolling pin again.
The budget was decided in record time and everyone enjoyed the luncheon. Or else.
With such formidable women in charge of counting votes, I have more faith in the democratic process here in the rural parts of our nation than I have in the more urban areas where women with rolling pins are not guarding the process.
ADDENDUM: I have just learned that a new municipal clerk WITH THE SAME NAME as the one in this story is running things in town B. Apparently there is no family connection. But you know what? I still won't disclose the identity of the woman in the story. Because she is more typical of Maine Town Clerks than not. She could be any town clerk in any tiny town anywhere in Maine. And that's what I love about Maine.

aplastic anemia
aplastic anemia
Inadequate blood-cell formation by bone marrow. Pancytopenia is the lack of all blood-cell types (erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets), but any combination may be missing. Drug, chemical, or radiation exposure most often causes the disease, but about half of all cases have no known cause. It may occur at any age. Acute disease may be quickly severe, even fatal; chronic disease has symptoms including weakness, shortness of breath, headache, fever, and pounding heart. There is usually a waxy pallor. Hemorrhages occur in mucous membranes, skin, and other organs. Lack of white blood cells lowers resistance to infection and becomes the major cause of death. Very low platelet count may lead to severe bleeding. The treatment of choice is bone-marrow transplantation. Otherwise treatment involves avoiding any known toxic agent and giving fluids, glucose, and proteins (often intravenously) as well as blood components and antibiotics.

The Colors section is our visual search for Lomographs! We are currently saving color data for all photos on Lomography.com and can add complete information for about 150,000 photos per day. For each photo, we store the Hue, Saturation, Brightness, and how much percentage of the photo that color occupies. You can browse photos by hex value (for a complete range of color tones) or hue (for very saturated results) or, or see our pre-selected galleries of dark, light, and black and white photos. If you feel like just scrolling check out our photo rainbow! Below you can see the frequency of all colors for all the Lomographs that we have color information for.
Brightness Statistics
Color Statistics
What are Hex Values?
Hex values are 6-digit hexidecimal numbers that are primarily used in web design. A hexidecimal number has a range of 0-9 followed by A-F, and hex values are divided into RGB as RR/GG/BB (so FF0000 is 100% red, and 00FF00 is 100% green). On the hex color page we've prepared the top 1000 most popular Lomograph colors, arranged by popularity.
What is Hue?
A photo's hue is it's pure color (100% brightness and saturation) represented as a value between 0° and 360°. For hue we search for these bright strong colors which results in a lot of cross-processed and vibrant colours. On the hue color page we've prepared a range of super saturated, bright photos to explore by their hue value.
Photo Color Example – a photo by ccwu
Here's a great Horizon photo by ccwu with the main colors shown underneath. The size of each color bar shows the prominence of that color in the photo. On the photo detail page for any photo that has color information you'll see the main colors of the photo and can explore the similar colored photos from there!


text: OKLAHOMA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITYOn August 31, 2001, Bartlesville Wesleyan College (formerly the Central Pilgrim College) became known as Oklahoma Wesleyan University. In 1958 the Pilgrim Holiness Church purchased the La Quinta Mansion plus twenty acres and other buildings located in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and established the Central Pilgrim College the following year. A private school, the institution was organized following the merger of the Colorado Springs (Colorado) Bible College, the Pilgrim Bible College (Pasadena, California), and the Holiness Evangelistic Institute (El Monte, California). At the turn of the twenty-first century the La Quinta Mansion, listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NR 82003716) and former home of oilman Henry Vernon Foster, housed the Oklahoma Wesleyan University library and administrative offices. In 1968 the Pilgrim Holiness Church and the Wesleyan Methodist Church merged to become the Wesleyan Church. Thus, the Central Pilgrim College became known as the Bartlesville Wesleyan College (BWC) in 1968. The two-year school offered a four-year religion degree. However, in 1972 it became a four-year college when it merged with the Miltonvale Wesleyan College in Kansas. During the 1970s a science building, a sports center, Scott Hall, and other buildings were constructed. In March 1987 student cottages, that matched the Spanish architecture of the La Quinta Mansion, were opened. At the turn of the twenty-first century Oklahoma Wesleyan University was one of five colleges and institutions in the United States and Canada supported by the denomination. As a Christian, liberal arts institution, it offered graduate programs in business education and nursing. The university had an annual enrollment of approximately thirteen hundred students. On January 31, 2002, Paul Mills resigned as president after serving nineteen years. SEE ALSO: COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES–PRIVATE, NURSING EDUCATION, RELIGION.

About Us
What is Oi Polloi? Well, to be honest, we're not quite sure ourselves. We know it's a shop in Manchester that sells men's clothing around the world, but beyond that, things get a bit murky. The seeds were planted one evening back in 2002, after two young and starry-eyed go-getters melded minds over the idea of selling tie-dyed Lacoste polo shirts. The polo shirts never materialised, but a clothes shop did. Over a decade later and although the world of menswear might have changed a bit, we'd like to think our hearts are in the same place.
What do we sell? We sell the stuff we like. Sometimes it's wool, sometimes it's Gore-Tex. Sometimes it's made in England, sometimes it's made in remote Mexican villages that can only be reached by mule. But whatever it is, we'll make sure of one thing — its good quality, good looking gear that's fit for purpose.

I love cookies.
A little too much.
You can actually just refer to me as Mrs. Cookie Monster from now on out.
Or not, I'm sure it's trademarked.
Anyways, cookies are always a wonderful treat for me to give my girls and they are an even bigger treat when we make them together.
MyBlogSpark recently sent us a cookie package complete with Pillsbury Shape Sugar Cookies, a cute cookie jar and a spatula.
My girls picked out the Princess cookies, of course but there are also Mickey and Minnie shaped cookies to choose from.
The cookies are cute and super simple.
We baked them for 12 minutes at 350 degrees and then we proceeded to eat them... all.
Okay, not all but they were yummy.
MyBlogSpark wants you to experience just how yummy they are so they have graciously given me a cookie prize pack to giveaway!
Lucky you!
You'll get a coupon for cookies, a cookie jar and a spatula to whip up your own yumminess.
All I want you to do is tell me what your favorite cookie is.
Easy peasy!

I received a cookie pack from Pillsbury via MyBlogSpark in exchange for this post. However, all opinions are 100% my own. Please see my full disclosure policy for more information
