Glutamine is a vital amino acid that is required by every muscle in the body, and is one of the most important building blocks in forming the proteins that maintain cellular health and tissue repair. Glutamine is found in varying amounts in most meat and fish as well as, to a small extent, in vegetables and pulses.
Glutamine is a semi essential amino acid that the body is able to produce in small amounts; however the majority of it must come from the diet and this is where L glutamine amino acids can be beneficial in your supplementation regime.
Glutamine is for anyone engaged in a long term physical training plan, whereby getting the right dietary balance of amino acids is absolutely essential. The body requires the right kind of nutrients in order to perform and develop correctly, and whether these come from food or from supplements, they are needed for many purposes. L-Glutamine is also suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
As a dietary supplement we recommend consuming 5 grams, 1 to 3 times daily. L glutamine can be consumed throughout the day, however is most beneficial first thing in the morning, pre and post workout and before bed. L glutamine can be mixed with plain water or can be combine with your favourite juices and pre-workouts.
Add your preferred amount of water into our shaker. Then add 5g, shake and consume. Use 1-3 times daily.

DOMS is noticeably less when I've been supping with this & also helps sleep a lot deeper overnight! Only downside is the Lemon/lime is very strong, sickly even & there's no mention on the website of the sweetener included.
this is great. really help with recovery, allows me to push it harder and have less rest days. berry blast taste great.
I aways add 5g of L-Glutamin to my protein shakes (morning, post-workout, before sleeping) so I do not know how it tastes (I have unflavoured and it does not change the taste of my protein at all). Blends well and has the best price (as far as I know).
I have been taking Glutamine powder on and off.. Over the past couple months I have made it a staple and more consistent. Reason: I have put on some good lean muscle on over the past year and I have come to realize the more you have the more you have to do to preserve. Taste: I took the Berry Blast flavor. Its still not as tasty as the BCAAs from MYProtein but alot better than unflavored. Effectiveness: With my body I have come to realize Glutamine reduces my soreness, and keeps my immune system strong. Whenever I feel like a cold coming on I start taking high doses 15g Glutamine a day and it really helps boost my immune system and I feel great. Uses: Whey shakes / protein pancakes / intra workout / pre cardio empty stomach in mornings / when feeling sick / pre cardio / before bed extra in casein shake.
I have one scoop (5g) with every shake I have throughout the day. I can't comment on the taste as I get unflavoured. However the mixability is brilliant and it is very effective and an essential part of my supplementation. Goes Well With:Water and Milk.
Quality stuff. If you want to improve your Physique you need to be taking this
Product does exactly what is expected of it, it mixes well and i often stack it with my protein in the morning and evening.Goes Well With:Impact Whey Protein
I am really happy with this powder. It is completely tasteless and mixes brilliantly into my smoothie or just plain water. Very happy :)Goes Well With:Water, smoothie, juice
It s good product for good price. It mixes easily just for the taste i reccomend lemon & lime it tastes very good. first time i ordered tropical storm and was a bit too sour but this is much better. it also helps for better training...
You can't really expect a great taste from a product that you buy for it's effect on your rest and recuperation, and I dont personally think that flavouring would matter really. I am using this product daily, after every workout 5-10gr as suggested and I 've seen far greater results than I expected. I did see my muscles getting back to ship shape after a hard day's workout in no time and to be honest I 've not gotten sick for more than 8 months (might be the excess orange I am drinking too) but it certainly does what it says it will.Goes Well With:Water, Juice, Protein Shake
Very very good flavour! I really like it !
I had never used this product before and bought it on a whim,, Best whim I ever had !!!! This product is FANTASTIC !!!!!. DOMS is HUGELY reduced and I feel a lot fresher and ready for the next session, even after a heavy session. I use it after CV work and after a weights. My wife also feels it makes a huge difference to her recovery and she is not into all this supplementation, but swears by it, as do I. A definite regular purchase for me !!!Goes Well With:BCAAS and total protien
delicious taste, good quality, I can only recommend!
Normally I'd be sore the day after my workout and then tender for the day after that, since starting to use this product my recovery time has drastically improved as I'm only a bit tender the next day now.Goes Well With:Whey & cottage cheese
I bought the Grape flavour first and it's lovely. I have it 3 times a day as recommended and it has been in valuable to my health and training. My recovery is quicker and I have less soreness. Now onto the not so lovely....I bought the Rasberry Lemonade as well. It's possibly the worst tasting drink I've ever tried! It doesn't tast anything like Rasberry Lemonade, I fact I don't really know how to describe it! It doesn't mix well either and tastes powdery and bitty! That said, some may like it. If you are trying for the first time, go for Grape or a flavour you know can't be messed up.Goes Well With:Grape with water, Rasberry Lemonade not sure anything will fix it.
Fantastic supp, really helps me get through the fatigue and DOMS after training legs, or in fact any time I wake up aching. I use it 'topically' I.E whenever I ache or pre-emptively before a heavy session, I don't think you need to use it 3 times a day every day as suggested. Having said that I tend to use it pretty much each day, morning and night. Easily mixes into a shake, doesn't impair the taste, even when mixed into water (unflavoured version) the taste is minimal and certainly not unpleasant. Highly recommended for the price!!Goes Well With:Morning/Evening Shake
Great product as always - I had watermelon, taste is quite overwhelmingly sweet! But bearable when heavily diluted. Recovery at the gym has been speedy, can't fault it really! Goes Well With:Lemon water
Bought this under recommendation from a friend - panicked at checkout picking flavours so went with the Raspberry Lemonade - worst mistake ever!! Absolutely foul! Have tried 3 times to drink it and I can't even swallow the first sip it's so bad! The flavour is indescribable and it's a blue colour when mixed. I love raspberries and I love lemonade so this totally confuses me! Gutted as I bought a 1kg pouch! Other than the disgusting taste I've heard it's a great product so will be reordering the unflavoured pouch.Goes Well With:Blue raspberry would not go well with anything!
DOMS is noticeably less when I've been supping with this & also helps sleep a lot deeper overnight! Only downside is the Lemon/lime is very strong, sickly even & there's no mention on the website of the sweetener included.Goes Well With:Water & plenty of rest.
This is a top notch product, tastes great and mixes well. Only thing stopping it getting 5 stars across the board is the sweetener, would rather add my own eg honey or muilti dextrose Apart from that amazingGoes Well With:Water
Nicest taste I've ever tasted. Not been taking it long enough to comment on effectiveness, but overall so far a good purchase for a cheap price as well!Goes Well With:Normal whey protein
Haven't been using it long enough to see effects but it seems good
Haven't been using it long enough to see effects but it seems good
Bought it to see it would help with DOMS and it seems to so the job.
I've found a noticeable decrease in DOMS the day after training & better quality of sleep when taking this before bed. Mixes well and even the unflavoured doesn't taste bad in just water, a little chalky. Absolutely worth it for me.Goes Well With:Sleep.
I take it 2-3tiems a day. In the morning and after training and before sleep. I got the 1kg bad anf the unflavoured. I take it with water , the taste is okay I use White chocolate Flavour drops with it and it's great. It helps me with the recovery I recommend this product and I will buy more of it ! Goes Well With:Turin and water
I have the unflavoured powder and it doesn't really taste of much. It also mixes really well - I just add a bit of water in a glass and swirl it about. I've been a bit on/off with my training since purchasing this product so not sure if it helps with muscle recovery.
I take this pre or during a workout and its fab i have the raspberry lemonade flavour and its amazing!! totally in love with this product!! defo ordering more when i run out!!
I bought this to help recover quicker when going heavy. It would not be an exageration to say it halfs recovery time. Very Effective. Have been using for several weeks now, didnt want to review before seeing any effects. I bought unflavoured so mixes fine with drink of your choice
Very good taste(Sour Apple), very food mixability, essential product to increase regeneration after hard workout.Goes Well With:Water
Unflavoured is pretty neutral in taste so easy to add to post workout drinks and it mixes very well.
I used the berry blast flavour for ages now always good for recovery if your pushing your self hard. I just got the raspberry lemonade flavour and it's not to bad it's sweet but not sickly sweet . Also got some raspberry lemonade bcaas good to drink during my workout .
No taste, easy to mix, feels likes it works!
Been using it for a while so hard to say whether it makes an actual difference but my immune system seems to fight off anything quite quick so...
Easy to mix with water...neutral taste and feel stronger in my workout.
Great product, reasonable price and does the job
excellent quality directly dissolved with a spoon and has directly results in muscle therapy!
rasberry lemonade is outstanding , absolutely love it , can't go wrong for the price defiantly a regular order for me , seeing benefits already my recovery time is literally doubling by taking straight after the gym👌
Order arrived fast, product seems to work well, I use as part of a stack, carnt coment on taste as I mix in with a shake, good price
This is a perfect complement to Whey
One of the products I don't like to be without. Excellent for muscle building, digestive health and immunity. Can also increase gh levels by 400%. The myprotein 1kg bag is the cheapest I could find online
Amazing product! Very good quality. Myprotein.com is by far my most recommended supplement supplier. Overall very happy with the product.
Have been using this for a while. It does make a difference! Does what it's meant to! Best thing is that it tastes of nothing and can be mixed with everything.
a must have product both as a pre workout for improved neural drive and post workout for recovery.
Great value for money and so convienent to use you wont beat the prices here
trying this intraworkout to avoid muscle loss during long bouts of boxing training. Seems to be workout, but it is hard to tell what would have happened if i had not been taking it.
Great taste, gives extra boost when taken during workout
I havent been using this for long so hard to say about the effectiveness so far. I got the berry flavour which is ok but it is very sweet. I would definitely go for the tropical one next time.
Mixes well, tastes good (Tropical). Can't say about it's effectiveness as yet as I've not been using it long enough to know yet!
Not gonna say this product gives you almighty muscle gains because it doesn't but couple with proper nutrition, hard training and other supplements e.g BCAAs, creatine, whey protein etc. over time you WILL see benefits and good changes in lean muscle growth!

We're moving several forums around right now for a couple of reasons:
1. The ECF front page was becoming 'the page that never ends', and something had to be done to fix it.
2. We have a whole new template coming very soon, and we want it to run fast from Day 1 - so some pruning needed doing.
No forums have been removed - but several have moved to another section, or become sub-forums instead of top-level boards.
For example, Rules and Announcements have moved out of their own section down to just above the New Members board; Site Feedback and Help has moved down to the bottom of the section New Members is in.
Sorry if it's a bit confusing for a couple of days - but the speed improvement should be worth it. With four speed improvement projects either running now or being completed soon, you should definitely see an improvement:
- Server upgrades
- Megathread splits
- Top-level forum reductions
- New template soon (new 'skin' or 'theme')
Please comment in Site Feedback, perhaps if you think you can see where other improvements can be made.

Playing the Meritocracy Game
The latest issue of Foreign Affairs has dueling articles by Eric X. Li and Huang Yasheng titled "The Life of The Party" and "Democratize or Die", respectively arguing for the CCP's enlightened non-democratic meritocracy and its imminent destruction if it fails to implement democracy. Both have their fair points as well as their strawmen and sleight-of-hand, and others have effectively critiqued Li and his Canadian tag-team partner, Daniel A. Bell, for a flawed definition of "meritocracy." While Bell and Li have avoided claiming this meritocratic process is the latest in a long historical tradition, the connection is implied when the mechanisms Li describes, from the national college entrance exams to the various level of bureaucratic rankings and evaluations, are so similar to the the imperial keju system, which Professor Mark Elliott argued in the New York Times was hardly "meritocratic". He pointed out what mattered was family connections and money. In fact, this was so common it was a board game – Imperial China's answer to Monopoly.
In a class on "Gaming in Libraries" (yup, that's a thing now), I had to build a basic web game using MIT's Scratch platform (most librarians aren't programmers – yet). Years ago, in Richard Smith's China's Cultural Heritage, I had read about a Chinese board game called Shengguan Tu (升官圖), or "Promoting the Officials," where players assume the of an aspiring mandarin, moving through the imperial examinations and through the bureaucracy, eventually rising to the "Da Nei" or inner sanctum Grand Secretariat in the imperial household. Along the way, players pay "donations" to higher ranked players in each department.
There are few English sources on Shengguan Tu, and almost no Chinese sources online (1). The best source I've found is Carole Morgan's article on the game in Journal of the American Oriental Society in 2004 (subscription/paywall access), which draws on the work of gaming ethnographer Stewart Culin and a pamphlet published in Taiwan in the 1980s, whose author Cai Ce admitted he wasn't clear on the rules either. Some highlights from her article (and Carole, drop me an email if you read this):
- The game has existed in some form since the Tang Dynasty, when a precursor was invented by a Henan official named Li He 李郃.
- There's alot of variety, with versions alternating between square and round boards, tops and dice, and varying numbers of bureaus and positions.
- Rules on movement and payment vary, but the dice/tops always have four possibilities: dé 德 (virtue), cái 才 (talent), gōng 功 (ability), and zāng 赃 (bribery, general skullduggery). Depending on your current post, any of these could be either beneficial or disastrous for your career.
- Shengguan Tu and its ancestors, including Daoist versions where you climbed through the ranks of the heavenly bureaucracy, were gambling games.
- One legend says Ji Yun, an editor of the Qing Dynasty encyclopedia Siku Quanshu, stayed up late gambling with his friends and showed up late to an appointment with a pissed-off Emperor Qianlong. To wiggle out of trouble, Ji told the emperor he was up late studying government administration and as proof showed him the game board. If that's not true, it ought to be.
I picked up a cheap kid's version of the game on Taobao and built the game below – it still has some bugs in the payment system, there aren't clear rules on the amount of payment except once you're in the Grand Secretariat, and the board I bought had typos – I think I caught all of them. Most of the title translations come from Charles O. Hucker's Dictionary of Official Titles in Imperial China, and in a few places I fudged it. I wouldn't call the online version fun (with some VC money I could make it awesome, I swear) but playing the real thing with family for pocket money isn't a bad way to spend an afternoon during the Chinese New Year holidays. It's no mahjong, though.
- The now dead websites http://www.shengguantu.com/ and http://geocities.com/lswk/, available in the Internet Archive, were among the few sites about the game. A Baidupedia entry has some information about the game as well.

And here I thought most of the whores and prostitutes were on Capitol Hill and the WH in D.C.

Tampa's prostitutes, strip clubs and other sex-related industries plan to cash in during the Republican Presidential convention that comes to town this week.
If history is any guide, they will do very well.
"Conventions are a time when even the most conservative and uptight types let their hair and inhibitions down," political consultant Arnold Block tells Capitol Hill Blue. "Republicans particularly have a history of going wild at convention time."
At previous GOP conventions, escort services, strip clubs and sex shops reported sharp increases in business.
Calls by Capitol Hill Blue to some of Tampa's escort services showed they are booked solid for the week.
A spokesman for Mystic Kisses, an escort service that serves Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater says "companions" are in short supply for the week. One source says the services are importing extra women from Miami and Orlando.
Sex and fetish shops are stocking extra items for the influx of Republicans.
A sales associate for Todd Couples Superstore in Tampa — a sex and fetish shop — told Capitol Hill Blue that they expect a run on their "better erotic items."
"Republicans may be tight-asses in public but they know how to party in private," she said.
Meanwhile, a source close to the Tampa Police Department and Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said vice officers have been told to stand down during convention week to avoid catching any prominent Republicans in compromising positions.
"The city spent lot of money attracting the convention," the source said. "The last thing it wants is a scandal."
And here I thought most of the whores and prostitutes were on Capitol Hill and the WH in D.C.
No indeed, Raven. I've been a Republican since Ike and I was chased all over Santa Monica by one of the leaders of the Birch Society. This was a long, long time ago but it woke me up to recognize the Religious Right as being dangerously sexy knowing all they had to do was sin and beg for forgiveness. Even after I was married these terrible hypocrits were still horrible or should I say "whorable?"
I wish the whole party scene would get away from these conventions. I've attended many Secular Humanist conventions and there is little pursuing of the ladies to be found. We meet because we have a plan to be accepted as equal to any organized political group.
It was an absolute circus in Boston in 2004. "Fluff" from all over the country was coming in to work the convention. The local talent cannot compete with the high priced "Chickies" from around the country. I assume the same happens at every large convention political or not.
I'll tell you this as a "Boy Toy" there was not enough money that would make me "Do" Pelosi back in '04.

Event: Wednesday, November 4 at 10 a.m. from Sentara Norfolk General Hospital
Norfolk, Virginia – November 3, 2009 – Aneurysms or weakened areas of an artery can rupture, often without warning. Especially dangerous are those aneurysms occurring in one of the body's largest arteries-the aorta. Finding and repairing the bulges in this large vessel that provides oxygen-rich blood to organs of the chest and abdomen is the job of vascular surgeons. From separate operating rooms, viewers from around the globe can view two surgeries as they happen to repair aortic aneurysms. One patient will have a repair to the aorta in the chest cavity as it nears the heart, known as a thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), and the other patient will have a repair to the aorta as it leads to the kidneys, called an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Event: Wednesday, November 4 at 10:00 a.m. Internationally known vascular surgeon Marc H. Glickman, FACS and director of vascular services at Sentara, will serve as moderator during the live surgery webcast. Jean M. Panneton MD, FRCSC, FACS will repair the thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) while Richard J. DeMasi MD, FACS, RVT will repair the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Both vascular surgeons will operate on separate patients in nearby operating rooms during the live webcast. Vascular surgeons at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital repair hundreds of aneurysms each year using stents that divert blood away from the weakened sections of the artery, thereby preventing a life-threatening rupture. Many aneurysm repairs performed by the doctors of Vascular & Transplant Specialists are done less invasively through small cuts in the artery itself, rather than through open procedures involving larger incisions of the chest or abdomen and longer recovery times. Patients who have minimally invasive procedures recover faster with shorter hospitals stays and less pain. How are aneurysms found? About 200,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with aneurysms each year. While most feel no symptoms at all, doctors rely heavily on family history of aortic aneurysms as a way to identify people at risk of this condition. A screening test is available for people at highest risk of aortic aneurysms, and that screening is now covered by Medicare for those who are eligible. For the majority, aortic aneurysms are detected by chance while patients are being screened for unrelated conditions. About Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAAs) Researchers believe abdominal aortic aneurysms are caused by inflammation of the aorta. Some believe this could be related to "hardening of the arteries," a condition where plaque builds up inside the arteries which stiffen, narrow and possibly weaken the vessel. Other risk factors for AAAs include: Being a male older than 60 years Having an immediate family member who has had an AAA Having high blood pressure Smoking Those with symptoms describe: Pulsing feeling in their mid section Unexplained severe pain in their abdomen or lower back Pain, discoloration or sores on their feet (this is a rare symptom) About Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms (TAAs) Research suggests thoracic aortic aneurysms are caused by "hardening of the arteries" a condition where deposits begin to block the arteries, over time making them less pliable. People with more risk factors are at greater risk of having a thoracic aortic aneurysm. Risk Factors for TAAs: Smoking High blood pressure High cholesterol Obesity Family history of heart disease Only about half of people with thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) experience any symptoms at all. Those with symptoms of TAAs describe: Pain in jaw, neck and upper back Chest or back pain, and Coughing, hoarseness or difficulty breathing Social media and the Live Webcast Sentara will offer updates of the surgical procedure as it happens and answer questions received via the webcast and Twitter through its live Twitter feed.

Michigan Wolverines

Hoke takes Michigan back to the future
By Tom VanHaaren
There is no DeLorean in this story, but Michigan coach Brady Hoke is attempting to take his football team back to the future, in a sense.
Hoke wants to create his own identity, but through recruiting he and his staff are attempting to recreate some of the old Michigan ways on the field. With big, burly offensive linemen, bruising running backs, tall wide receivers and defensive linemen who don't quit, Hoke also is hoping to replicate the winning ways of old.
The most glaring sign of Michigan's intentions in the 2013 class has to be the offensive line haul. The Wolverines took six offensive linemen who average out to be 6-foot-5, 291 pounds. All mauling, tough-nosed linemen who will help Michigan's transition into a pro-style offense.
The line recruiting also will help with regards to the running game, something that has been a big concern over the last seasons. It's a staple to any run game, having good line play, something former Michigan running back Tim Biakabatuka believes still holds true.
"If you look at Michigan back then, it was big offensive linemen and zone blocking," he said. "With a running back that has size and speed to make a big play. Michigan relied heavily on the run game."
The help for the future will likely come from running backs
Derrick Green
(Richmond, Va./Hermitage),
Deveon Smith
(Warren, Ohio/Howland) and
Wyatt Shallman
(Novi, Mich./Detroit Catholic Central).
Derrick Green's arrival signals a return to power football for the Wolverines.
The Wolverines have gone back to the bigger, bruising running backs that they used to see success with as all three backs weigh more than 200 pounds. The average size for running backs committed under former head coach Rich Rodriguez was 5-foot-10, 189 pounds where that number has bounded up to 6-foot, 220 pounds under Hoke.
That is a big deal, according to Biakabatuka, who says it's vital to have success on the ground going forward.
"If a team can control the ball and control the clock then you become multidimensional," he said. "You're starting to see some of the spread in the NFL, but you look at Alabama who won the national championship and they have a traditional back. You look at the Baltimore Ravens and they won the Super Bowl with the same mentality."
Biakabatuka was 6-foot-1, 218 pounds himself, which is very similar to 2013 commits Green and Smith.
This class is potentially a look into the future of how Michigan hopes to stock up at each position. When Biakabatuka was thinking about picking Michigan out of high school, he knew there would always be top backs in front of him. It fueled him rather than deterring him.
"When I was on a trip to Michigan my host told me they had five All-American running backs and if he was in my shoes he wouldn't pick Michigan," he said. "I took it personally so I went there anyway. The competition will be there no matter where you go. You just have to get your shot."
The biggest changes will likely come on offense, although the coaching staff would like to get bigger and faster at all positions.
Since the passing game will be featured more going forward, it's no surprise that Hoke has gone after big receivers and tight ends. The average size for receivers under Hoke is 2 inches taller and 12 pounds heavier than Rodriguez recruited to Michigan. In fact, Hoke is yet to sign a receiver under 6-2.
With five receivers in 2012 and 2013, Michigan should have some good, big options on the outside going forward. The offense also will get a boost from the type of tight end Michigan has been recruiting.
Had it not been for Kevin Koger, the tight end position might not have even been utilized under Rich Rodriguez, but Hoke and offensive coordinator Al Borges are making it a priority.
Freshman tight end
Devin Funchess
saw success early on and now will get some help with the addition of
Jake Butt
as an early enrollee. The tight end position will be a big focus, something that former Michigan tight end Bennie Joppru says can help in game planning against any defense.
"It makes a defense decide what they're going to do. If they play a base defense then we'll throw the ball," he said. "If they run a nickel then we'll run it. I'm excited to see the progression, it's always nice to see those guys gaining some attention to keep the tradition alive."
Whether it's at tight end, wide receiver or running back, Brady Hoke is hoping to keep Michigan's tradition of winning alive. By adding the 2013 prospects to this team, Hoke and his staff are moving towards the future of the program, but back to what Michigan used to be.

Daniel G. Gioeli, PhD
Peptide growth factor and androgen signaling cross-talk and contribution to progression of prostate cancer from androgen-dependent to androgen-independent disease
The overall goal of Dr. Gioeli's research group is to understand how peptide growth factor and androgen signaling cross-talk and contribute to the progression of prostate cancer from an androgen-dependent to an androgen-independent disease. The group is exploring the hypothesis that growth factors and androgen signaling alter AR activity through regulated changes in phosphorylation of the AR or of AR-associated proteins, and that these regulated changes help drive prostate cancer progression from an androgen-dependent disease to one that is androgen-independent. Dr. Gioeli was the first one to systematically identify the AR phosphorylation sites in response to androgen and growth factors. His laboratory is currently assessing the role of AR phosphorylations in AR function, identifying AR kinases, and assessing the level of AR phosphorylation in prostate cancer material. This work is being pursued collaboratively with Drs Michael Weber, Bryce Paschal, and Henry Frierson. Dr. Gioeli is also developing a tissue specific siRNA delivery system as a targeted prostate cancer therapy. This work is in collaboration with Dr. Cassandra Fraser in the Chemistry Department to develop polymeric metal complexes as a therapeutic platform. Dr Gioeli's studies will utilize the Tissue Procurement Core, Research Histology Core, DNA Science Core, Cell Sorter Facility, Center for Advanced Microscopy, Biostatistical Core, and Molecular Therapeutics Core. Dr. Gioeli's research is basic to understanding the mechanism of how signal transduction activity regulates AR transactivation and is fundamental developing targeted therapies for androgen-independent prostate cancer.

Note: We will not be able to provide awards for walkers due to the inability to control adherence to walking only during the event.
What to do to be Prepared:
Girlfriend – how do you finish 13.1 miles? You can run, jog, walk or crawl. We don't care as long as you get there. Unfortunately, for liability reasons, no bikes, skateboards or rollerblades are allowed. Although wouldn't that be a cool sight to see a bunch of moms and grandmas roller-blading for 13.1 miles. Are Jogger strollers allowed? Well, 13.1 miles for the kiddies might be a little much. Unless you don't mind hearing "Mom, How much longer?" for a couple hours. Yeah, it might be a good idea to find a sitter for this one and just enjoy the event with your girlfriends. Plus it might be a little dangerous for your fellow walkers and runners to try to maneuver around you! But invite the kids to come and see you finish and participate in the Kids Mini Marathon to benefit the Children's Center. Teach them the importance of giving back at an early age. You'll provide an awesome role model for them. As a reminder, drop subtle hints about how much you'd love for them to have flowers and balloons for you at the finish line. And be sure they make signs for you. Some of our favorites are "Go Mommy Go" or "My Grandma's a rock-star!". Or maybe get them a white shirt that they can decorate with encouraging words like "I bet my Mom can run faster than your Mom!"
Be sure to train with us at Northwest Personal Training or Northwest Women's Fitness Club so you can be in the best shape of your life and cross the finish line. We will be hosting Half Marathon Training clinics to help ensure you get to the finish line! Call us at 360.574.7292 or 503.287.0655 for more details.

We cannot predict when disasters or emergencies will strike. But we can work to make sure that all households, businesses, and communities are prepared. Ideally, everyone should be prepared and have emergency resources available in the event of a disaster. Being prepared may sound like an overwhelming task, but it doesn't have to be. Follow three steps to get started: make a kit, make a plan, and stay informed.
A disaster-supply kit should provide a collection of basic items that household members may need in the event of a disaster. A disaster-supply kit can be used in your home if there is an extended power outage or it could be used if you have to leave your home and go to a shelter. During an emergency, you will probably not have time to shop or search for the items you need. A basic disaster-supply should include recommended items for a disaster-supply kit:
Once you have gathered all of your disaster kit supplies, it is important to store them properly so they are safe to use when you need them. Here are some tips to help keep your supplies safe and ready to use:
Emergency plans can help to make sure you keep in contact with important family and friends.
Reliable, accurate information is an essential resource before, during, and after an emergency or disaster.

It has been over 40 years since the 1973 oil crisis, when OPEC embargoed exports and American drivers faced long lines at the pump. Today, climate disruption presents a new kind of oil crisis. Over the next hour we will explore some questions it raises: Is drilling at home a hedge against foreign oil dependency? Can we wean ourselves off oil altogether without wrecking the economy? And how do we learn to work together towards a greener future?

text: @ Georgesplane- The same goes for water as soil. I have a slightly different explanation for it though. Water and soil are not lost because the planet is a closed system, but they are degraded with use. Water turns from usable freshwater to unusable salt, or contaminated water. Relative to human uses water is only renewable to populations that can afford things like desalination plants, groundwater replenishment, and elaborate water purification systems. In developing nations, there is a shortage of potable water that often leaves residents to drink contaminated water. This is the reason an ailment as minor as diarrhea can be a killer, and is a leading cause of death in the developing world.
