Notebook: Chris Cook '80 percent' healthy, not optimistic about Sunday
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Chris Cook got some turns with the Minnesota Vikings' starting defense on Friday, but the rookie cornerback said he's only about 80% healthy and didn't sound particularly optimistic about his chance for playing on Sunday.
Cook had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee last week, little more than a month after he underwent a similar procedure on his right knee that cost him three games.
He said his workload on Friday "wasn't a starter's day at practice" as he split reps on the scout team and on special teams.
"I felt pretty good," said Cook, who had surgery early last week to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.
"Didn't have any pain. My feet felt good. My brace felt good. It's just waiting on the green light still."
The Vikings are in rough shape at cornerback after starter Cedric Griffin blew out a knee in Monday's loss to the New York Jets. They signed veteran Frank Walker off the street on Wednesday and probably would activate him for Sunday's game against Dallas unless Cook progresses substantially in the next 48 hours.
Asher Allen -- who started the first two games when Cook and Griffin were out -- most likely will start at right cornerback on Sunday, with Lito Sheppard rotating in for nickel situations.
Allen, Sheppard and starter Antoine Winfield all are 5-10 or shorter, creating size mismatches when the Cowboys deploy receivers Miles Austin (6-2, 215 pounds), Roy Williams (6-3, 215) and rookie Dez Bryant (6-2, 217). The trio has combined for 66 receptions for 932 yards (14.1 average) and five touchdowns; Bryant is questionable for Sunday with rib and ankle injuries.
"You've just got to harass 'em," Allen said.
Tough times
Griffin still hasn't been seen in the locker room since Monday night, but teammates have spoken with him. Cook's locker is next to Griffin's, and the two became tight soon after the Vikings drafted Cook in April.
"I pray for him a lot since it happened," Cook said of Griffin, who was coming off reconstruction of his other knee in January.
"He's a good friend. I can only imagine what his mind is going through and all the emotions that are running through his body right now. I probably couldn't put up with it too well."
Health watch
Center John Sullivan (calf) appears to have even less chance to play on Sunday, despite taking part in practice on a limited basis Thursday and Friday.
"Sully's probably still got some time to go here," coach Brad Childress said. "Another 48 hours. But he's doing a little bit more, did a little bit more (Friday)."
If Sullivan can't go, second-year pro Jon Cooper is expected to make his first NFL start.
Cook, Sullivan and quarterback Brett Favre all were listed as limited participants in Friday's practice and questionable on the injury report.
Tight end Visanthe Shiancoe (hamstring), end Brian Robison (ankle) and safety Madieu Williams (shoulder) all moved to full participation and were listed as probable. Safety Jamarca Sanford (back) remained limited but also is probable.
Rice returns, sort of
Sidney Rice appeared on the practice field for the first time since having hip surgery in August, playing light catch with team employees -- and keeping his movements minimal.
At one point, Randy Moss called out to Rice, who grinned and walk through the team's stretch lines to joke with his fellow receivers.
"He tried to get me to come out there," Rice said. "He told me I needed to come out there and get some of the reps for him. I wish I could, but not right now."
Rice got off crutches on Tuesday and won't be ready when he becomes eligible to return to the 53-man roster next week. Asked if he'd return at the season's midway point, Childress said, "Yeah, about. Give or take a couple weeks."
Quick hits
• On Wednesday, Childress said his experience is that the more desperate team wins matchups such as Sunday's game, which will drop one team to 1-4. Did practice show that players got the message? "These are all grown, rational human beings," Childress said. "They're pretty good with one step back themselves, all of them. So, yeah, they get it."
• Moss is up to speed on the 2-minute drill, Childress said, and stands to play a bigger role in his second game since arriving in a trade with New England. "I think he's progressed," Childress said. "We're not as much think, think, think, think, think. There's some thinking, and those around him help him when he is thinking. But it was a whirlwind last week. It was hard to get up to speed and get the plays that he was really comfortable with. But he'll do more this week, and he'll do more and more as we go."
• Childress joked when asked a question about officials' decision to continue Monday's game in spite of lightning in the immediate vicinity. "What would you be writing about if I was standing here writing like this?" he said, looking at the sky. "The guy's lost it. He's in a quandary. He's having a break with reality. Yeah, they've got a protocol. I'm sure it's the manual somewhere for them."

56 Crazy Wild And Fashionable Happenings From The First Half Of New York Fashion Week
Cats, dogs, sports cars, Kanye — it's all there. Oh yes, and CLOTHES too, lots of nice clothes.
Why, even this pile of hairpieces backstage looks classy.
OK no it doesn't. I just love that this photo happened.
2. And then, when street style photographers including Bill Cunningham happily snapped away, showgoers filed out of the venue past a homeless man fast asleep.
(Still, though, a slightly less awkward photo op than this infamous moment from the fall 2013 season last September.)
3. Look out for the following Alexander Wang pieces to be all over the street style set in six months time.
They love a good "subversive" slogan, and how could anyone resist the word "WANG" cut neatly out of leather evening gloves?
4. Also at Alexander Wang, Solange Knowles worried that her face would be too shiny.
Reminder: Don't get your scalp oiled before going to a fashion show. Oil will be dripping down yo forehead as u take photos @ the Wang show.— solange knowles (@solangeknowles)

/ Via
But it wasn't really, so that's a relief.
5. I experienced a similar "wet face" panic attack at the DKNY show.
After just about jogging across town to make it to the show in time, because I am incapable of hailing a cab under pressure, I found myself with a slightly moist brow. This is an #embarrassingfashionconfession, but oh well.
To my horror, I was then seated directly behind front row bait Kelly Osbourne, and the crowd of nonstop photographers left me convinced I would be looking like an oily sea monster hiding in the background of the resulting images. Fortunately, Kelly's violet hair seems to be hiding me perfectly.
6. Omnipresent songstress Rita Ora closed the DKNY show, clearly having taken her coquettish runway moves from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
7. Back to the DKNY front row though, just briefly, because holy shit that is ANTHONY KIEDIS.
8. Despite his valiant effort, Kiedis loses out on the "do not want mustache" award to Justin Bieber at the Y-3 show.
9. Marie Claire's Nina Garcia actually wore Google Glasses, just like she told everyone she would.
10. Thanks to the spring 2014 Tocca show, your little sister's old dance costume is now fashionable. So go find it, and wear it EVERYWHERE.
This, of course, means the lack of any Dance Moms on the front row is a crazy missed opportunity.
11. Also, perhaps conscious of the fact that soon-to-be Dancing With The Stars star Amber Riley was sat front row, Tadashi Shoji showed dresses that could easily work for a foxtrot.
Granted, they could use a few more sequins to be ballroom-ready. But then, couldn't everything use a few more sequins?
12. Still at Shoji, a few dresses seemed rather reminiscent of fall 2013 Givenchy designs.
Not that you can — or should — patent a sheer skirt with some floral frippery at the hem. I mean, you could just use net curtains.
13. Hippest-of-the-hip label Rodebjer did us all a huge favor and made fashion robes a thing.
Which OFFICIALLY bests daytime pajamas as the next "I dare you to point out that I'm dressed like a hospital patient" trend.
But they also showed looks smattered with sequins, which balances out the loungewear quite nicely.
Remember that point about the sequins? Yeah, point proven.
16. Alice Smith provided a therapy session through the medium of song at the Michael Bastian show.
That's Smith on the left; these models in pineapple pants are just here because said pants are PHENOMENAL.
17. An energetic performance by Janelle Monáe happened at the Rebecca Minkoff show.
And so did this adorable nail art.
18. And in other music news, tassel-covered models at BCBG walked the runway to an ethereal cover of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky"
It's haunting/lovely.
Or terrible, if you're not into this kind of melancholy music. That's the fashion industry for you, there's just no middle ground!
19. Many of the glass water bottles left for guests at the Honor show got nudged off the bench seating and broke.
In fact, the show's PR team hired a guy to follow the sound of broken glass around the runway and mop up each spill.
20. Aside from those errant glass shards though, the show's runway set was a cute little fairytale wonderland.
And the models, skipping along all merrily like, clearly had a blast.
The whole barefoot thing is probably not advisable, though.
21. Nicholas K added another — wait for it, wait for it — FEATHER TO HIS CAP with a chic, minimalistic spring 2014 collection.
Technically it's another feather to his (models') headwraps, but still.
This poor model (who Getty Images helpfully captions as "a model") has her feather upside down though. #modelproblems
22. NAOMI CAMPBELL closed the Diane Von Furstenberg show. Really though, she shut it down.
24. The Posen collection was very Posen. These models, perhaps confused by the very nature of their pleated/folded gowns, were particular favorites.
25. There was also this model with green hair. Presumably everyone has forgotten about Charlotte Free already, then.
Despite the old school cotillion culture Posen's aesthetic consistently represents, he's not afraid to subvert the glamour once in a while. After all, he's judging Project Runway now.
26. The Jonas Brothers sat front row at the Richard Chai LOVE show and everyone flipped their shit.
27. And then Harper Beckham sat front row at her mom's fashion show and everyone REALLY flipped their shit.
Everyone including Anna Wintour, who will probably tap Harper to replace Miley Cyrus on Vogue's December cover.
Harper managed to distract just about everyone from Victoria's latest collection: simple, chic geometry and color-blocking.
28. Meanwhile, both Miss USA Erin Brady and Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf sat front row at Custo Barcelona and few folks other than myself seemed to care.
29. As far as exciting fashion show front row sightings, for me this came second to when I noticed two-time Survivor contestant Andrea Boehlke at Nautica.
I planned to ask Andrea for some tips for getting cast on Survivor post show. (Because if there's one thing that show needs, it's more FASHION JOURNALISTS; if you're reading this, Survivor casting team, email me.) But she scampered off backstage with Dallas reboot hottie Josh Henderson, who she is now apparently dating, to take photos. And to be fair, if you were dating Josh Henderson, you would never miss an opportunity to have photos that document the relationship taken either.
30. Anyway, back to beauty queens and Custo Barcelona. Imagine how wonderful the world would be if all pageant contestants wore Custo gowns.
They're all certainly better looks than the lime green monstrosity Miss USA wore as her opening look at this year's pageant.
31. Or just how wonderful the world would be if everyone wore this fringed coat everywhere, all the time.
32. In other fringefests: the Christian Siriano show. This sort of thing must be ticklish.
Siriano's show went to the tropics, and the runway venue's temperature sure matched.
Also, here's a photo of more hair extensions backstage at the show, because that's a thing photographers are shooting a lot this season.
Note: Despite their appearance/the resemblance, these extensions were not used to make the fringe on the gowns Siriano showed. That sort of madness only happens on America's Next Top Model.
33. Another Wintour moment: Anna found her newest trophy athlete friend at Rag & Bone — Russell Westbrook.
If you look carefully, you'll notice the frayed edges of Anna's jacket and Russell's vest match perfectly. Coincidence? I doubt it.
Russell was quite excited, as his apparently-not-a-caption-even-though-it-is Instagram photo of the moment illustrates.
34. Zimmermann's collection showed and could be best described as jellyfish couture.
Technically the inspiration was "circus" but we all know what we're seeing. And it's lovely all the same.
35. The Ruffian show was an adorable mix of rocker chick/girly girl sensibilities that has surely been described by the fashion press as "flirty" over 1,000 times already.
Flirty and fun! Feminine and flirty! Flirtatiously flirty!
36. And Delpozo designer Josep Font continues to present some of the most whimsically beautiful designs at New York Fashion Week as a whole.
Three seasons in a row knocked out of the park now. Font is one to watch.
37. The Delpozo show also featured the best bold blue eyeshadow.
38. Veritable fashion poetry was distributed at the A Détacher show.
The show notes told a story through models' names and corresponding looks. Ugh, that Alyona (look #18 and/or look #36) is completely hopeless! And Nadia (look #30) isn't going to get anywhere with that attitude either.
Here's potty-mouth Valentina (look #21) and artsy Valeria (look #28).
, Valerie doesn't appear to have actually scribbled all over herself like the show notes promise. But maybe she used invisible ink.
39. Deep breaths please. This happened at Nautica and then it happened again at Parke & Ronen.
Enjoy more of the shirtless goodness here.
40. Some more menswear moments: This season's N. Hollywood collection took cowboy culture as its theme and really went there.
Even eschewing traditional seating charts for rows titled "Cowboy" and "Horse." This show was great.
41. Shades of the Wild West also abound, sort of, at Billy Reid. His collection walked along a faux-railway track.
42. Wait, did someone say "Wild West" as in Will Smith's live performance of "Wild Wild West" at the MTV Video Music Awards?
No? No one said that?
Oh well fuck it, I'm running this GIF anyway.
43. Duckie Brown heard about fashion people hating on sleeves and really ran with the idea.
Also, this is an epic bowl cut. Viva la '90s.
44. General Idea designer Bumsuk Choi had a similar idea. Basically, everybody needs to cut the sleeves off of every shirt, sweater, and jacket they own YESTERDAY.
In general, the General Idea show was really strong.
45. And it also showcased the snazziest sports cars…
47. A beautiful blonde model walked the runway at Jen Kao… and was accompanied by a similarly blonde human.
Because, come on now, dogs at fashion week can never be a bad thing.
48. Speaking of dogs, Ostwald Helgason's presentation included cheery sweaters with embroidered, doggy style motifs of Jeff Koons' balloon dogs.
49. Kanye West showed up at the Hood by Air show looking glum.
51. West also attended the Louise Goldin show — one of the standouts of the season thus far.
Again, he doesn't look thrilled, but I'm sure he was actually pretty into it.
Besides, models walked the Goldin show's finale while his hit "Send It Up" played.
And that should at least cheer him up (a little bit).
52. At Hervé Léger, label's tradition of bandage-strapped body-con dresses held firm (as a body-con dress would).
But this time with a Grecian warrior/bondage twist. We will probably seeing all three of these looks on post-pregnancy Kim Kardashian.
53. And Nicki Minaj sat front row, next to Jessica Alba, taking photos on her iPhone — which has a Nicki Minaj cover, naturally.
54. The showcase of designs by this season's Project Runway contestants continued to provide catwalk opportunities for America's Next Top Model alumnae.
55. Meanwhile third-placing contestant from the show's 12th cycle, Aminat Ayinde, made it to the Fashion Week tents also.
She's busy handing out Maybelline samples, and looking BEAUTIFUL.
56. Most importantly, however, Grumpy Cat showed up at Lincoln Center.
But didn't enjoy it.

2004 Cargomate 16X7 enclosed tandem hauler
Made by Forest River, Model# is TB716TA2
First picture is what it looked like after just dragging it home. Bottom of this page is what it looked like after everything was done. In the middle is everything done to it in the "remodel" stages along with my sources for the equipment. I have included links (in blue) to direct you to the exact source where I bought the item in question.
Email me by clicking on the mail box at the very bottom of this page!
Last updated on 04/24/11
This is a documentary of some mods I did to make a cargo trailer suitable to sleep in for those overnight rides. I call it my "dual sport" trailer.
OK, due to the overwhelming request for pictures, I figured it would be easier to just put up a web page with each step in my conversion or modifications to the trailer along with my sources where I purchased some of the gear. It all started back in December of 2003. I went in and order my trailer from a local dealer. Its a
model TB716TA2 which means its a "Trail Blazer" series, its 7 feet wide, 16 feet long and is a "TA" or tandem axle" and a "2" for brakes on both axles. I say ordered because I wanted a 16 foot long unit, tandem axles, but I wanted it in 7 feet wide. Usually 16 footers are around 8 feet wide, or maybe the max width of 8,6" wide. I wanted the narrow one because I used to tow it with a 1998 Tacoma truck rated for 5000 lbs. I have since purchased a new 2010 Ram 2500 with the diesel engine. I wanted it to be out of the windstream, and didn't want to have to add those mirror extenders. I just sold a 14X8, so I know all about this. I also chose the gray color. I wanted a color that went good with any tow rigs color. Silver, white and black were other options, but black was out of the question. First picture is unmodified. Basically stock and weighed in at 2,400 lbs. I did order the "northwest package" which included the diamond plating, ventilation, roof vent, inside light, radial 15" tires. Also ordered the RV type side door. Better for sleeping in then the cam lock types like the rear doors have.
Trailer did tow like a dream. Doesn't even feel like its behind me. Balance/tongue weight was perfect. I use a
Tekonsha Prodigy
electric brake controller which is the cream of the crop. Its has the
rear jacks
to keep it secure when loading and from rocking
OK, next photo is the build phase. Starting the forward overhead hanging cabinet. The first item I did was to remove the forward inside plywood panel up front and run a phone line, cable for TV, 2 wires for battery/inverter. I used red and black, in 6 gauge to handle the demands of the converter (60 amps) and the 2000 watt inverter which I bought from Costco for $69.95, made by Xantrex model is a "prowatt 1000" (if I did it over, I wouldnt do the inverter again, just havent used it but once to charge a video camera battery). I have never found them that cheap since! and I also ran 3/8" copper plumbing for the propane gas furnace. Notice the "plumbers tape" (plumbers tape is the perforated galvanized strapping you see), I used this in 4 places to support the cabinet from the overhead trusses which were located every 2 feet. I went back to the first truss. Build the cabinet high enough to clear your tallest dirt bikes handlebars!
All the utilities were centrally located. Each side on the cabinet would end up as storage pockets. Furnace is from
"Suburban" and its rated at 20,000 BTU's. Model number is a NT20SE
. The SE is a direct vented type, but you could duct it elsewhere. I wanted to keep it simple and not take up too much room. This furnace consumes right about 1.9 amps when running, has no pilot as its electronic ignition. The same type is also available in 12,000 BTU and 16,000 BTU, model number for the 12,000 is NT12SE and so on. Cost for the furnace was about $480. The 12,000 BTU was $399.
OK, had to modify the tongue to accommodate the furnace and other goodies. I used a standard propane cylinder and a group 27RV deep cycle battery. Break away battery box has been removed, I now use the "house battery" to operate the trailer brakes during a break away. The battery box was replaced with a
junction block or interface
to tie the trailer cord to the trailer wiring. All this required welding. I have a 220Volt Matco Tools MIG welder. This whole project consumed about 10 lbs of weld wire.
Work still in progress. This was spring (04) and I was doing inside work and hanging the awning. This awning is the "bag" type made for pop up trailers from
. I purchased the 12 foot premium one. Almost the only route as the roof line is low in relation to the door and the skin is limited to where you can mount it. The roof radius on the Cargomates is thick aluminum. A must for awning mounting. Some use a plastic radius. Not good! Check this out of you want an awning. I keep the awning at 12 feet so it wouldn't interfere with the rear cargo doors. I chose cargo doors over rear ramp door because it was easier to open and grab gear. Flip down doors will cost extra!
Flip out step. I bought this from
PPL Motorhomes
online. Nice addition. Also added a grab handle to the left of the door opening. Wife complained about the step up. It wasnt much, but it does tire you out if you are in and out all day. I have dropped axles which made for a low deck, but the step is super nice!
OK, so how does one store his ramps without consuming space in the trailer and keep them from sliding all over the place? Easy, mount them under the deck and out of the way. I bought these
ramps from Harbor Tools
and then hand picked through Home Depots "Master Locks" for all matching locks so one key does it all. But you can get them from
and order them all keyed alike. I used 2 on the ramps, one on the rear door and one on the trailer tongue. The model number for these locks are #40 and are real tough to open without a key and also have a 3/8" hasp, while many others use 5/16" and they don't swing around and chaffed up all your paint. The ramps were shortened because of the trailer axle and with the low deck, a long ramp wasn't needed. Steel cost for the carrier was close to $200. It was a bit heavy, but this weight was behind the axle which offset the weight I added in front of the axle.
This is the finished overhead cabinet. All wiring was protected by a fuse box, one for low voltage (12VDC) and one for high voltage, (110VAC). The gauge is for battery condition. The stereo is a Kenwood AM/FM/CD player. I installed a 12V acc jack to the far left. Metal rectangular (galvanized) grille is furnace inlet filter, the brown square one is the heating outlet. This makes a nice access panel to get to the wiring for the utilities. Inside the center is an additional 2000 watt AC inverter , Model was the Pro Watt 1000! I also have an Intelli-Charger 9100 which is no longer available. Charger/converter (cost was about $199 from Camping World at the time) and I have added the "smart wizard" (cost for the wizard was $25 and also discontinued) to aid in keeping the battery fresh and fully charged and runs all accessories when plugged into shore power. Also under the cabinet I have added a bunk light. I sleep under it with a army cot. Each side has a nice storage cabinet which go 2 feet deep and clean to the roofline.
Overhead vent
is barely visible, but I did add a 12V exhaust fan to it along with the
cover. This allows me to keep the vent open while in transit or setting without fear of wind ripping it off.
This next picture is all the utilities located in the LH side cabinet up on the wall. In the cabinet, you will see the Intelli-Charger 9100, (silver chassis) this is rated at 60 amps. Its a super smooth (little AC ripple) flat DC plus a charger/maintainer of the battery. Top right in the Xantrex 2000 Watt AC inverter (black chassis, 1000 watts continous) . Below that is the 2 space fuse block. I have 3 breakers in it, the RH space, I'm using the "mini" breakers. Below the AC fuse box is the DC fuses (6 spaces) and to the right of that is the "smart wizard" used to make the batter chager/converter a special battery maintainer. It operates in a way to keep the sulphating battery to a minimum. It hits it hard with a higher charge (almost 15 volts) for about 15 minutes, does this once every 3 days or so.
Shore power is tied into the system using a
Marinco® inlet
. They come in either 15 amp or 20 amp and both come in white or black. Cost for the 15 amp was about $20. I have mine mounted under the trailer and not in the skin. Its protected from the weather and debris when going down the road. If you use a 15 amp, you must use 14 AWG wire minimum and the 12 amp, you must use nothing smaller than the 12 AWG. If your going to have any electric heat, you MUST get the 20 amp unit.
This picture is of the roof mounted AC unit made by
. Model is called the
Polar Cub
and is from the Mach series. Its rated for 9000 BTU and consumes 9 amps max, less when running. Cost for this was around $560, which included the roof control/vent setup for "COOL ONLY". There is also a heater unit as an option for this AC unit, but I would recommend against it unless you have no interest in the gas furnace. But if you do use the AC unit for heat also, you will need to be on shore power or have a big generator. I use a
Honda EU2000i generator
which is rated for 13.5 amps (Surge rating is 16.3 amps) and it handles the load easily. I purchased my Honda generator from "Big Sky Power" but they are no longer in business, so I'd recommend "Wise Sales" for the best price around. Also notice the blue roof, this is 1.5" insulation from Home Depot. A 4X8 sheet weighed no more than several ounces. And sure helped keeping it cool/warm inside. Notice the metal ribbing to the rear of the AC unit between the roof bows. I had to weld in 1 1/2" in a 14"X14" frame for the AC unit and more box tube to support the rear of the AC unit. Another good excuse to get that MIG welder. It was a life saver for me!
I ran two runs of
e-track down each
side to secure cargo. One run at 36". the other at 16". I have built a flip out table which hooks into the e-track and can be moved anywhere or removed all together. I have also added "in the floor"
flush mounted "D" rings
. It came with 2 up front, 2 in the rear. I have added 3 more in the front and 3 more in the rear so I have 5 across at each end and one every 4 feet down each side. I have made everything "modular" for quick removal. Only the cabinet is permanent. I paid $13 (normally $25 for the steel e-track) for each 10 foot section of e-track. I used a total of 50 feet. This stuff can be spendy. I have a buddy who works for a trucking outfit and got it wholesale for me. It also can be purchased in aluminum, from areas like Pit Pal (pitpal.com) but cost a small mint! Mine was steel and painted green. It can he had in galvanized steel also. There is L-track also, but the e-track is the most popular and easiest to get all the attatching straps etc for!
Here is a picture of the inside during out last big group campout/ride with freinds and family over the memorial day weekend. The bunks are army surplus and can find them for a very resonable price from $5 from a garage sale to $40 for a new civilian version. I do recommend a pad for the cot, they are pretty hard as they are drum tight and you will wake up with stiff joints. Notice the forward bunk, fits right under the cabinet which has a bunk/reading light under it. This makes it easy as one doesnt have to climb in bed in the dark. The TV is a 9" Sylvania Model# 6509DD, its a flatscreen with DVD player built in. It runs off of either 12VDC or 110VAC. I use cargo nets to hold stuff on the walls. This makes the it easy to see what your after and can be removed by just popping them off of the knobs. There is a small cargo net mounted under the cabinet. This holds magazines, pillows and what have you. Notice all the wood now looks a little darker since the first cabinet photo? Its because I sealed all the wood with Thompsons water sealer. Not because I thought it was going to leak, but to seal the wood from stains. Easier to keep it clean that way.
Here is another photo of us out group camping with freinds and family and the Cargomate® cargo trailer, now called the "DualSport®" trailer.
Some of you had requested to see it being pulled with my Toyota Tacoma. Here is a current photo of it in tow at the local race track. My truck does have the 3.4 V6 and the 5 speed manual transmission with the 4.10:1 axle ratio (TRD Off Road Package) and 31X10.5-15 tires. We use is for race support for my grandsons racing. He raced KTM 50's, KTM 65's KTM 85 and a KTM 105. He is now on a KTM 250SX/F. I have since sold the Tacoma and bought a brand new 2010 Ram 2500, Cummins 6.7 liter turbo diesel, 6 spd manual shifter in crew cab, long box and it tows the trailer like its not even there.
Black forward nose cap was made of plastic and with a few years of sunlight, it broke down and developed large cracks which would of leaked water had I not caught them. I contacted the mfg, I was out of warranty, but barely and they did send me a new fiberglass nose cap and all materials, sealer, fasteners for free. (way to go Forest River! Thanks). I did get it installed. Much thicker than the plastic nose cap by about twice as thick (fiberglass vs original plastic). But I lost the forward 3 middle lights, only have the ones on the outer edges. Just less places for leaks anyway. So if you are looking at used trailer, make sure the nose cap is fiberglass not plastic. It appears they all went to platic then realized the UV from the sun was destroying them making them brittle and prone to cracking and went back to the fiberglass nose cap.
This is the finished product as it sets today, conversion/work all done. You can see the roof mounted air, air max vent cover, fully diamond plated nose, porch light, assist handle and the bag awning rolled up. Also, something you cant see, each screw on the side I removed and installed those water proof rubber washers like whats used in metal buildings. It grabbed the aluminum skin better and did seal it from leaks. If you have any questions on this, drop me an email by clicking on the mail box below!

China has an extensive demand for foreign-born English teachers that recently has been almost impossible to satisfy. As the world's most populous country continues to fully enter into the global company, its need for teachers of one of the world's most commonly used languages increases quickly.
In the last decade, this demand has tripled, according to the Guardian, sending Chinese teaching agencies to new places to find their valued educators. "The expansion in international schools means that it is possible schools will soon have to look further afield when it comes to recruitment as well as having to invest money in training their own," Andrew Wigford, a teacher recruiter in China, told the news source.
However, in the face of this shortage, some enterprising groups and individuals are turning to a growing technology to help them plug the holes. Video conferencing allows companies to worry less about traversing the massive country in order to reach its most rural outposts. Instead, web conferencing is helping teachers, wherever they are, educate students from afar.
In fact, the state of Wyoming has been using the technology to team up with agencies in China and as an employment opportunity for its residents.
"This partnership shows that improved connectivity and continued development of broadband technology will allow Wyoming to participate more fully in the global economy," state Governor Matt Mead said at a recent press conference in Beijing, according to China Daily. "It also means new jobs for the people of Wyoming."
In this way, the state can provide teachers 24 hours a day and in many different forms. There is one-on-one teaching for students who require or request special attention, as well as more traditional group lessons.
Online conferencing allows students outside of traditional urban settings to get access to high-quality education. Additionally, it can cut down on the need for designated classrooms and transportation. Of course, there are also savings on the American end.
"With video conferencing classes, you don't pay for the teachers' plane tickets or social insurance, so the charge is definitely lower," Hu Min, one of the company's employing the technology, told the news source.
Furthermore, the service allows U.S. companies to sidestep some of the complicated processes involved in setting up an international business including work permits and international licenses.
In fields with large international components such as language education, many companies are finding that using video conferencing can help improve access and lower costs. With millions of Chinese anxious to learn English and not enough teachers able to travel there to teach them, this can be an incredibly successful tactic.

We are glad to present to you our company "PELLETUS - Ukraine".
The company was founded in 2005. Woodworking is our
main bussines. Our manufacturing line is located in Kiev (Ukraine).
Our new production line of wood pellets is started
in 2008. The presence of own raw no bark materials garantee high quality
of oue product.
We ship our firewood by railway cars from our
warehouse. We can deliver to national boundary of Unraine or to railway
station of the buyer.
We are interested in a long term contructs with customers in European countries.
Wood pellets (pellets ) - biofuels, derived from peat , wood waste and agricultural waste . Is a cylindrical pellets of standard size.
Production of fuel pellets began in 1947
The raw material for the pro ducti on of pellets can be peat, the book ( poor quality ), wood and wood waste : bark , sawdust , wood chips and other waste timber and agricultural waste : waste corn , straw , waste mill products , sunflower husks , chicken manure , etc. etc.
technology of pro duct ion
Raw materials (sawdust , bark , etc. ) is fed to the crusher where it is crushed to the point of flour. The resulting mass enters the dryer of it - in a pellet press where the wood flour is compressed into pellets . During compression increases the temperature of material compacts , the lignin contained in the wood softens and adheres to the dense particles cylinder . The prod uct ion of one ton of pellets takes about 7 cubic meters of wood waste.
The final pellets are cooled and packed in different packages - from small packets ( 2-20 kg) to big bags (large industrial packaging ) weighing up to 1 ton - or delivered to the consumer in bulk .
Torrefitsirovannye ( burned without oxygen ) pellets
When torrefikatsii solid biomass is burned without oxygen at a temperature of 200-330 º C. Torrefitsirovannye or biougolnye ( black ) , pellets have several advantages over conventional , otherwise called white :
Repel moisture, can be stored in the open air , that is, do not require a covered storage
Do not rot, musty , do not swell and disintegrate
Perform better combustion ( similar to coal . Hence the name - biochar )
Advantages and disadvantages
This section lacks reference to its source.
Information must be verifiable , otherwise it can be challenged and removed.
You can edit this article by adding citations to reliable sources .
This mark is set March 20, 2013 .
Fuel pellets - an environmentally friendly fuel with an ash content of less than 3 %. In the pro ducti on of pellets are mainly used sawmill waste and agriculture, which had previously been largely disposed of in landfills and rot , and after a few years began to burn or smolder .
However, if growth in raw environment contains toxins or radioactive substance, the combustion of these substances granules may be dispersed into the atmosphere.
Since not contain dust and spores , granules and less susceptible to self-ignition does not cause allergic reactions in humans.
The granules are different from ordinary wood high dry (moisture content of 8-12 %, and wet wood humidity - 30-50 %) and higher - about half - density than wood . These characteristics provide a high calorific value as compared with the wood chips or - combustion ODP granules released approximately 3500 kWh of heat, and half times more than conventional wood.
Low moisture content - is an advantage , not only as a fuel pellet but also the problem of pr odu ction. Drying may be one of the major cost in the prod uct ion of fuels from waste wood . Furthermore , depending on the prod uctio n , collection , sorting and cleaning materials may also incur additional costs. The drying process is important to carefully plan that will reduce the risks associated with the quality of the finished product, its cost of produ cti on and the risk of fire . The best option is the pr oduct ion of biofuels from dry chips .
One of the major advantages of pellets - high and constant bulk density, which allows relatively easy to transport this bulk product over long distances. Due to the right shape, small size and homogenous product granules can pour through a special sleeve that allows you to automate the process of loading and unloading and also burning of the fuel .
For efficient use of fuel pellets requires a special type of furnace : pellet boiler .
Quality and Standards
The quality and appearance of granules depends on the raw material and production technology. Wood pellets with a high content of bark are usually dark in color , and the pellets from debarked wood - light . In the pro duct ion process - for example, by drying - granules may slightly " scorch " and if they are from white to gray . Although it is not always affects consumer qualities such as granules calorific value, ash content , strength and abrasion but can lead to the formation of fine dust during transportation due to friction of granules to each other.
Different countries have adopted different standards for the production of fuel pellets .
In the USA the Standard Regulations & Standards for Pellets in the US: The PFI (pellet).
Standard allowed the production of granules of two types : " Premium" and "Standard" . "Premium" shall contain not more than 1% ash, and "Standard" no more than 3 %. "Premium" can be used for heating any building . At grade "Premium" account for about 95% of the granules in the United States. Sort of "standard" includes a greater amount of bark or agricultural waste . The standards define the density , grain sizes , moisture, dust and other substances. In U.S. pellets can not be more than 1 ½ inches in length , the diameter of the granules should be in the range of ¼ inch to 5 1/ 16 inch .
In Germany, pellets DIN 51731 standard adopted .
Length - not more than 5 cm , diameter - from 4 to 10 mm. Humidity is not more than 12 % dust content less than 0.5% , etc.
In Austria - Standard ONORM M 7135 .
United Kingdom - The British BioGen Code of Practice for biofuel (pellets).
Switzerland - SN 166000 .
Sweden - SS 187120 .
In Russia - the standard for wood pellets was not. Producers in Russia is mainly based on the German DIN +
Wood pellets are of high quality ( white and gray ) are used for heating homes by burning in pellet boilers , furnaces and fireplaces . They tend to be 6-8 mm in diameter and a length less than 50 mm. In Europe, they are often sold in 15-20 kg bags .
Demand for wood briquettes and pellets , equipment for incineration and p roduc tion increases in proportion to the prices for traditional fuels such as oil and gas. In some European countries , where the market for alternative energy sources is most developed , granules heated up two thirds of residential premises. This accounts for the wide distribution of this type of environmentally friendly fuels - CO2 emissions from the combustion of equal absorption of the gas during the growth of the tree , and NO2 emissions and volatile organic compounds significantly reduced through the use of advanced combustion technologies .
Dark granules with high content of bark is burned in boilers more power to produce heat and electricity for settlements and industrial enterprises. Dark granules may be of larger diameter. They are sold in bulk batches of two or three thousand tons or more.
pr oduc tion
In the United States in early 2008, the pro duct ion of fuel pellets employing more than 80 companies . They produce about 1.1 millio n to ns of pellets per year . In 2008, the U.S. has sold about 2 million to n s o f pellets . [2] More than 600 thousand buildings are heated granules. More than 20 companies manufacture boilers, furnaces , boilers and other equipment for burning pellets.
In Finland, in 2005 the domestic sector consumed 70 t ons o f pellets. Biofuels heated by about 7 thousand buildings. "Road Map - 2010" in Finland plans to produce by 2010 1.1 mi llion ton s of pellets.
In 2005, Canada exported 582.5 thousand to n s o f pellets. Total in Canada in 2008 produced about 1.3 mil lion tons. Plants for the pr oduction of granules located mainly on the coast. The plant, located on the west coast of Canada to produce pellets from softwood : spruce , pine. East Coast refineries produce granules of semolina : oak , maple , cherry , etc.
All the pellets produced in North America are made from the dried residue of waste wood processing pr od uction : wood chips , sawdust , wood chips . Only two plants added to the granules bark .
The largest producers in the European Union in 2008: Sweden - 1.7 milli on t ons , Germany - 900 thousand tons, Austria - 800,000 tons.
Latvia is actively developing the producti on of biofuels. In particular, in August 2012 launched the country's largest refinery with a capacity of 175-200 thousand t ons o f pellets per year.
Worldwide, the prod ucti on of wood pellets in 2008 was 10.8 mi llion t ons.
In 2009 in Europe , there were about 650 factories producing wood pellets , which produced over 10 mil lion ton s of this producti on.
In 2011, Europe produced around 15 mill ion to n s of pellets . [7 ]
In Russia in 2008, was produced 500-600 to ns o f wood pellets , wood pellets pro du ction established 150 enterprises in different regions of the country.
In 2009 produced about 960,000 t on s o f fuel pellets . Domestically, used about 260,000 tons.
In 2010, Russia had issued about 1 m ill ion to ns of wood pellets and husk . Most of them were exported to Europe. Moreover, if the pellets are basically buying the Scandinavian countries , as well as central and northern Europe , the Russian husk pellets buy only the United Kingdom and Poland .
According to UN estimates, Russia's annual prod uct ion of wood pellets in 2011 was 750 thousand tons, of which 600 tons were exported .
In 2011 OJSC " Vyborg Cellulose " (the village Soviet , Leningrad Region) has launched the world's largest plant for the prod uct ion of wood pellets . Output will have to make one million tonnes of pellets per year.
The plans, forecasts, prospects
In the early summer of 2010, Wageningen University presented a study in the field of biofuels. In the next 25 years, according to the study , the demand for wood pellets in Europe will increase to 200 milli on ton s a year. Through the port of Rotterdam will be 13-20 m illion to ns of pellets per year. In July 2010, the Port of Rotterdam g.administratsiya announced a joint project with the Anglo -Dutch energy exchange APX-ENDEX [ 12] to establish the exchange of biofuels.
By 2020, China intends to produce 50 m ill ion ton s of pellets per year.
UK planned for 2010, to the consumption of wood pellets up to 600 thousand tons.
In 2010, the company " Russian wood pellets ", the chairman of the board of directors of which is the former head of the Federal Forestry Agency Valery Roschupkin , announced plans to build plants for the pr odu ction of wood pellets in 13 regions of Russia with a total capacity of more than 2.5 mi lli on to ns of pellets [ 13].
In 2012, the "Group of companies" Russian biochar "announced the program of building 52 plants in Russia with total capacity to 10 m illi on ton s of pellets per year , including 9 pellet plants torrefitsirovannyh company intends to build in the suburbs.
In the period 2013-2014, . on the Ukrainian domestic market demand for solid biofuels will increase by 2 times - up to 570 thousand tons , or 20 % to 40 % of the total Ukrainian enterprises produced products. This forecast is presented in an analytical report on the market of solid biofuels in Eastern Europe , prepared IBCentre. At the end of 2012 , Ukraine produced 1.43 million tonnes (pellets and briquettes from wood , sunflower husks and straw) . Prod uc tion forecast for 2013 - 1.45 million tons, in 2014 - 1.5 million tons. The key factors in the growth of domestic consumption of biofuels in Ukraine are the development of a segment of heat and electricity generation from biomass , as well as a sharp reduction in the consumption of biofuels Polish power plants are the main buyers of Ukrainian fuel pellets from wood and agricultural raw materials ( sunflower husks ) last 7 years. In particular, according to IBCentre, in 2013 , the Polish government decided to cut subsidies for thermal power plants . As a result of biofuel consumption in Poland in the second quarter of 2013 decreased by half . Also in Poland, there was a collapse of the market " green certificates " . As a result , the prices of energy products on the Polish domestic market fell by 20-25 % - up to 95-100 euros per tonne, which almost corresponds to the cost of pr oduct ion for many Ukrainian pro ducti on of solid biofuels. At the same time , in the Ukraine in 2013 , the prices of raw materials for biofuels has increased by an average of 15-20 %. Faced with the deterioration in external markets , many Ukrainian producers reoriented supply of biofuels in the domestic market , starting to develop their own line of thermal generation . Also, due to operating in Ukraine " green" tariff for electricity produced from biomass ( 12.39 cents per 1 kWh) , the country began to develop a segment of power generation from biomass. In particular , as of August 20, 2013 the total installed capacity of boiler houses on biofuel in Ukraine amounted to 84 MW , an increase for the period January -August of this year by 31% , the total power generation capacity of the biomass was 7 MW ( +20 %). According to forecasts IBCentre, until the end of 2013 the total capacity of biofuel boiler will increase by 20 % , power plants - by 80 %. Also , many industries , such as oil extraction plants , brick and cement manufacturers are actively introducing technology substitution of natural gas with alternative fuels , in particular, crushed sunflower . In particular, in the 1st half of 2013 due to the use of biofuels listed companies reduced gas consumption by 110 million cubic meters . A detailed report on the status and prospects of each segment of the biofuels market in Ukraine will be presented IBCentre specialized seminar on " How to make money in the new stage of development of solid biofuel market of Ukraine" , which will be held October 16, 2013 in the framework of the 5th International Forum on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency REF - 2013 Kyiv (15-16 October 2013 , Congress Centre NSK " Olympic" ) .

It is now possible to see why it has taken so long to restore the area where the two giant World Trade Center towers stood. Because there were so many factors to consider in rebuilding the area, decision-making became incredibly complex. But once decisions were made, the rebuilding projects could proceed. Architects, designers, and contractors got to work. The building originally called Freedom Tower (now renamed One World Trade Center) will be the tallest building in America at 1,776 feet. Two smaller towers are also being built. The memorials for the nearly 3,000 people who were murdered on September 11, 2001 have been completed. The museum, beneath the memorials, is in the process of being built as well as the transportation center at the site.
In other words, this site will become the chief visitor attraction in the nation, second only to Washington, D.C. It will enshrine everything that took place on that fateful day when so many lives were taken, so much property destroyed, so many responders scarred with lung problems, having breathed in the incinerated dust as they tried to rescue whomever they could rescue. 343 firefighters and 37 police officers from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey were killed that day by the collapsing towers.

CORVALLIS, Ore. More than 125 years ago Charles Darwin first reported that most plants grow in a spurt during the night, not the day and this week, scientists are reporting the discovery of the genes that control this phenomenon.
These rhythmic growth spurts, and the ability of plants to move in response to light, are actually controlled by genes involved in circadian rhythms the "biological clock" genes that are influenced by light and dark, vary their activity based on time of day, and are increasingly found in both plants and animals to control a wide variety of functions, ranging from growth to nervous system function and even fertility.
"This is an incremental but important step in understanding how plants grow," said Todd Mockler, an assistant professor of botany at Oregon State University, and co-author of the report with colleagues at the University of California/San Diego and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.
Ultimately, more understanding of these growth genetics could allow scientists to create plants that grow faster, produce more food or have other useful characteristics, the researchers said.
The findings will be reported this week in PloS Biology, a professional journal. The research was funded by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
"We now know that the expression of certain genes and hormones at night and just before dawn is important for plant growth," Mockler said. "During the day, the plant focuses on other tasks, such as the photosynthesis that produces its energy. And plants are not only responding to time of day, but also the length of daylight to control such things as flowering time and stem length."
When such mechanisms are more fully analyzed, it may be possible to influence them with genetic modification, Mockler said.
This advance was made possible largely by the use of DNA microarrays

Previous page: Jew, Jews, Judaism, and Jewish Culture
The word Jew is derived ultimately from the tribe of Judah through Middle English Iewe, Old French Ieu, Latin Iudaeus, and Greek Ioudaios (compare the woman's name Judith, which originally meant "Jewess").
The Old Testament Era
The Hebrew yehudim meant originally descendants of the tribe of Judah and then those who inhabited the territories claimed by them (2 Kings 16:6; 25:25; Jer. 32:12). With the deportation and subsequent assimilation of the "Ten Lost Tribes" of the Northern Kingdom by the Assyrians after 722 B.C., the only Israelites to survive into the exilic period (with a few from the tribe of Benjamin, e.g. Mordecai, who is called a "Jew" in Esther 2:5) were those from Judah, hence the name Jews (Neh. 1:2). The corresponding Aramaic word is used in Daniel 3:8,12.
The Intertestamental Period
The Greek name Ioudaios (plural Ioudaioi) was used for the Israelites in the Greek and Roman world. This is the name used in the treaty between Judas Maccabeus and the Romans, described in 1 Maccabees 8:23-32: "May all go well with the Romans and with the nation of the Jews...."
Matthew, Mark, Luke
The term Ioudaios occurs relatively rarely in the Synoptic Gospels, the first three Gospels which are closely parallel to each other. The word occurs but five times in Matthew, seven times in Mark, and five times in Luke, usually in the expression "King of the Jews" (12 of the total of 17). Of the remaining occurrences only Matthew 28:15 designates Jews as contrasted to Christian believers.
By contrast the word Ioudaios occurs 70 times in the Gospel of John. Some of these references are quite positive, especially in the dialogue between Jesus and the woman of Samaria (ch. 4). In v. 9 the woman says to Jesus, "thou, being a Jew," and in v. 22 Jesus says, "salvation is of the Jews." Many of the Jews believed in Jesus (8:31; 11:45; 12:11). Other references are neutral as in John 3:1, where Nicodemus is described as a ruler of the Jews.
The description of Jesus' opponents reveals a striking difference between the Synoptic Gospels and John. Whereas the former names Jesus' enemies as scribes and Pharisees, high priests and Sadducees, the Gospel of John simply uses the general term "Jews." The term often implies Jewish authorities as in 7:13; 9:22; 19:38; 20:19.
The Jews impugned Jesus' birth and His sanity (8:48), and even alleged that He was demon possessed (8:52). The Jews questioned His statements about the Temple (2:20) and were scandalized at His claim to be the bread from heaven (6:41). They regarded His affirmations of equality with the Father as blasphemous and picked up stones to kill Him (5:18; 7:1; 10:31,33; 11:8).
The heightened use of the term "Jews" in John to serve as a general designation for those who denied that Jesus was the Christ may be explained by the fact that John's Gospel was composed at a later date than the Synoptics--after such events as the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and the insertion of a curse upon the minim ("heretics," especially Christians) into the daily synagogue prayer in A.D. 80 had increased mutual hostilities between Jews and Christians.
Paul was a Jew from Tarsus (Acts 21:39; 22:3). After his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, his fellow Jews sought to kill him (9:23). King Herod Agrippa I arrested Peter and killed the Apostle James, believing this would please the Jews (12:1-3).
Following his conviction that the gospel should be preached first to the Jews (Rom. 1:16), Paul on his missionary journeys began his preaching in the Jewish synagogues--at Salamis on Cyprus (Acts 13:5), at Iconium (14:1), at Thessalonica (17:1), at Athens (17:15-17), and at Corinth (18:1). Though he made some converts among the Jews, even converting the synagogue ruler at Corinth (18:8), and no doubt had success among the "god fearers" or proselytes who were interested in converting to Judaism (13:43; 17:4), the majority of the Jews reacted violently against Paul's message (13:50; 14:2; 17:5; 18:12). Paul therefore turned his efforts increasingly toward the Gentiles, the non-Jews.
Pauline Letters
As the "apostle to the Gentiles," Paul argued against "Judaizers" that Gentile converts did not have to be circumcized, that is, become Jews first, before they became christians (Acts 15:1-5). His arguments were accepted by James and the church council at Jerusalem held about A.D. 49. Paul, who had been "an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee" (Phil. 3:5) and had been more zealous in his pursuit of Judaism than his peers (Gal. 1:13,14), came to the radical conclusion that a true Jew is not one who was physically descended from Abraham (compare John 8:31-41), adhered to the Torah or Law of Moses (Rom 2:17,28) and was circumcized. For Paul a true Jew is one who believes that Jesus is the Messiah or Christ (Gal. 3:26-29), relies on God's grace and not works of the law (Eph. 2:8,9), and has been circumcized in his heart by the Holy Spirit (Gal. 2:2-9; 5:6). In spite of his grief that most of his fellow Jews did not accept his message, Paul did not teach that God had abandoned the Jews but believed that God still has a plan for them (Rom. 9-11). [Note: the word Ioudaios is not found in any of the non-Pauline letters of the New Testament.)
The two references in the Book of Revelation are to the church at Smyrna (2:9) and the church at Philadelphia (3:9), where there were those who claimed to be Jews but who were denounced as the "synagogue of Satan" because they opposed Christians.- Source: Holman Bible Dictionary

Ironic for Congress to say power is poison: Modi
Addressing a rally in Meerut, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate on Sunday said that it was ironic for the Congress to say that power was poison, as they stayed in power for the longest time in the country after Independence.
"Sonia Gandhi has accused some people of 'sowing seeds of poison'. She had once told her son Rahul Gandhi that power is poison. Who stayed in power for the longest time after Independence? If power is poison then who has tasted this poison most?" asked Modi.
"Congress is a divisive party. They believe in divide and rule, and they believe in votebank politics. They believe in making communities fight," he said.
"When the other states were bifurcated, people were happy because Vajpayee ji sowed seeds of happiness. But there is fire in Andhra Pradesh because Congress has spread poison," he added.
He further said that the 2014 would decide the future of the country.
"The 2014 elections will decide the future of the country and we should all get together to change the future of the country," he said.

Is there a new Halo on the way?
"What's cooking at Bungie?"
Published: 15th July 2008 | Source: TG Daily |
According to the appearance of their website it appears that something may be cooking at Bungie.net. Are the game developers working on a new installment to the Halo series? We know that the Master Chief story line ended with Halo 3, and that Halo Wars is a game currently in production by Ensemble Studios.
The website features a a typical futuristic theme with amusing comments that scroll on the screen, and in the bottom right hand corner there is a countdown timer. According to the timer, we have a little over a day before hopefully everything will be revealed. Current speculation seems to suggest that Bungie may in fact be working on a new Halo game due to the fact that Microsoft is in the middle of its E3 conference. Many people expect a new Halo announcement by the end of the press conference.
So what is cooking over at Bungie? Would you like to see another installment to the Halo series?

5 Ways to Lose Weight (& Keep it off) & How Growth Hormone Can Change Your Life.
I believe that within almost everyone's grasp are the tools for weight loss.
Healthy habits define wellness, and for some, all that is lacking, is a kick-start, or what I call a taste of explosive living. If you're living explosively, you'll know what I mean, and you'll probably also know about growth hormone and be involved in some form of resistance training.
The great news is that the latest research coming out is showing that we are not victims of our genetics.
Losing weight and keeping it off is all about healthy habits.
The fact that your genetic makeup may predispose your body to put on excess weight does not mean you're destined to be obese. We are not slaves to our genes!
Your habits alter the genetic expression of your genes. You are in charge. There is no "quick fix" solution. Those who lose weight and keep it off maintain a healthy lifestyle and form permanent habits of staying active and eating healthily.
There are consequences to be aware of. Once you've been obese, you will not be able to return to the number of calories that a normal person of your size should eat unless you're particularly active. This is particularly true of childhood obesity, which changes your genetic predisposition.
Much like a recovering alcoholic who avoids alcohol, someone who has suffered from obesity, is advised to avoid sugar and other junk foods.
Whatever your history, it's your habits that make all the difference. Yet, there is one secret to improving conditioning, kick starting your metabolism and promoting energy and longevity (for all).
Who wants to look and feel great, improve their sex life, live longer and thrive?
The secret is resistance training!
Resistance training (weights, resistance machines, climbing stairs, kayaking/rowing, swimming, boxing, etc.) is the most effective way to increase metabolism, as it not only burns fat; it also increases the production of growth hormone.
Why you really need to know about growth hormone:
>> Growth hormone has an anabolic action in the body. It builds bone, muscle, breaks down fat, improves protein building, stimulates the growth of organs, stimulates the immune system, helps maintain the pancreas.
>> Growth hormone even promotes the generation of glucose for energy.
>> Growth hormone is boosted via intensely exercising fast-twitch muscles for brief periods of 10–30 seconds. Cardio, aerobics and even many strength training exercises do not increase growth hormone, thus minimizing their efficacy for weight-loss.
>> For growth hormone to be activated, you need to work out intensely, and sweat profusely!
Five Dynamic Ways to Lose Weight and Keep it Off:
1. Start a resistance training program.
Explosive Training is the way to explosive living.
Up your metabolism, burn fat and increase growth hormone. The results will astonish you.
In my own experience, I've found that with any new fitness regime, there is a hurdle to climb initially. Once you get over the hill, then your stamina and endurance will significantly improve. Your body will start craving exercise. Soon, your basic conditioning will keep you feeling great, and the added benefit of kick-starting growth hormone and your metabolism has far-reaching health benefits.
Be mindful of needing to explode your muscles into action. Explosive movement is what activates growth hormone. That's why sprinters look so muscular (versus marathon runners).
Explode into action. And don't be shy of a good sweat!
Bringing passion to your workouts will reap benefits you never imagined from upping your sex drive, self-esteem and confidence, to burning fat and looking hot and sexy!
2. Improve the quality of the food you eat.
It's not as simple as just calories in/calories out. It's the quality of calories that counts.
I teach three really simple principles to get this right:
>> Organic.
>> Raw.
>> Alkaline.
3. Avoid bad fats and get plenty of good fats!
It's important to develop an understanding of good fats versus bad fats. Good fats are found in Paleolithic sources like raw nuts, organic greens, wild animals, wild fish (not farmed) and raw seeds (hemp, chia seed and flaxseed are my favorites). These are nature's favorite snacks, so keep a supply at hand wherever you go.
4. Avoid all sugar
Sugar addiction is another that can easily lead to yo-yo dieting, so avoid the sugar, high fructose corn syrup, fructose, and other hidden sugars.
5. Up your activity levels outside of dedicated training times.
You may want to run instead of walk to the gym, go for a walk whilst catching up on phone calls, stand instead of sit on the train, learn some sexual gymnastics, activate your core and pelvic floor muscles when waiting in lines, use TV commercial breaks to fit in your ab routine. There are many opportunities for you to take advantage of.

It is called HGH, human growth hormone. While what you described will facilitate the increased secretion ogf HGH, the eis a very definite decline in HGH production in people from their mid-20s and onward in aging.
Thus, though HGH is very valuable and necessary people in their 40s, 50s 60s have a bit of an uphill battle so to speak if all theyrely on is HGH levels in their body which they circulate. many get shots, purchase the precursors from different health oriented companies- Life Extension and VitaCost come immediately to mind.

So very very tired of weight loss articles on Elephant. I'd really like the author to point to the studies that support his argument that these lifestyle changes will result in permanent weight loss. Not that I disagree with the advice – it's pretty standard practical stuff that anyone could benefit from. However, long-term maintenance of weight loss is rare so I take issue with it being presented as easily achievable just by following this advice.
Super agreed.
Yup. Me too, Ellen. Disappointing to go from a really great article about body acceptance written by a masseuse on Elephant, to another body shaming, fat shaming article.
It is kind of a nothing article. Resistance training is nothing new.. and unless used with knowledge, which this article is too surface to do.. will not makemuch difference. This article sounds better for mindbodygreen or seventeen magazine, tho 17ers have lots of Hgh.
Thanks for the great feedback. Things like Growth Hormone (hGH) and resistance training are hardly new, yet the message is not getting through to the majority of the population. So more articles, inspiration and role models are necessary. I do understand that this article is hardly brain surgery, it is not meant to be. If half the population is obese, clearly we need to keep informing people to exercise and get rid of sugar, etc. So I will keep writing about these topics until I see a healthy, happy (lean and sexy) society around me. Thanks everyone for the responses and stay WELL…!
[…] human growth hormone for anti-aging purposes is dangerous business. It has been shown that taking human growth hormone does not increase longevity, and that may be due to the increased cancer that it has the potential […]
Really? The image that 'shows us' weight loss (healthy weight loss, even!) is a thin woman IN A BIKINI holding a phallic symbol?!? Come ON, Elephant Journal, you've been called on this before. Again, and again. When will you stop visually equating desirable life style choices with beautiful, scantily clad *female* youth??
Hi Erica. That's up to you the viewer to make your choices. Personally I think that woman is awesome, she reminds me of the Amazon woman archetype, strong and assertive and courageous. I don't see a sword as being phallic necessarily…I mean you can see everything as phallic, that's up to you. But by your argument, should we remove all pictures of swords from elephantjournal?
I am not sure why desirable attractive women are bad and should not be role models?
As a man, I find inspiration and motivation in seeing healthy and sexy men.
I agree, past the age of 30, growth hormone can do wonders. There are plenty of studies out there to support it, Ellen. It's easy to bash something because you have a set mindset.
A well-written, indepth article. Thank you!
When you reach a certain age the metabolism starts decreasing. Although, there are several alternatives that we can try to change or slow this process down.
Some of the most common ways to fight this are: skin products, taking vitamins, exercising and eating healthier. But in spite of these attempts, there are times in which our body doesn't feel the same and nothing seems to work.
I would like to share my experience since I tried injectable HGH. My energy is back, therefore my desire to exercise, my skin looks better and I even feel a few years younger.
