Sonora Wildcat junior quarterback Andrew Nessi hadn't played a single down on defense all season. He hasn't even practiced on that side of the ball. He's got his hands full trying to learn and perfect the Cats' triple option attack.

But when Sonora's defensive backfield was short-handed with 2:09 left in a tight game against the Calaveras Redskins on Friday, Nessi got the call.
"The coaches told me to stay on the hash mark and 'Don't let anybody get behind you,' " said Nessi. "So when the ball was snapped, I kept my back pedal and stayed on the hash."
Nessi positioned himself perfectly and made an interception to seal a hard-fought 35-26 Wildcat victory much to the delight of the Dunlavy Field crowd.
"We had a few injuries towards the end of the game, so we put our quarterback in at safety," said Wildcat head coach Bryan Craig. "He doesn't practice defense. He doesn't play defense — he's our quarterback. We stick him in there and he gets a pick. So I'm gonna give our defensive backs a hard time next week."
The Wildcats grabbed a quick lead and, throughout the rest of the night, had to hold off the determined Redskins.
Brandon Camara capped the Wildcat's game-opening, 62-yard drive with a physical 4-yard plunge. The TD was Camara's first of three and he also finished with a game-high 96 yards on 14 carries.
Just three minutes later, Nessi pitched to slotback Christian LaPertche on an apparent sweep. But LaPertche stopped, cocked his arm and fired a strike down the sideline to a streaking Thomas Erwin who hauled in the pass for a 45-yard score.
"I got the ball and when I looked down the field, I could only see his legs," said LaPertche. "I threw it up and I was so excited when I saw him catch it."
Down 14-0 just over five minutes into the game, the Redskins weren't about to throw in the towel.
"I know this team is a group of fighters and they're gonna fight to the end," said Redskins head coach Jason Weatherby. "They did that tonight up until Sonora got that interception at the end. They're not just gonna lay on the their back after somebody runs over them, they're gonna come right back and battle."
And battle the Skins did.
With the Redskins finding it difficult to run, they went to air. Calaveras quarterback Zack Johnson hit Mike Seawell for a 15-yard gain for a first down. Two plays later, the duo teamed for a 26-yard connection.
Redskins running back Kellen Hodgson capped the 80-yard drive with a 17-yard scoring burst through the middle.
Calaveras recovered a Wildcat fumble a few seconds later and took advantage. Hodgson scored on a 1-yard dive on the first play of the second quarter. The 2-point conversion failed and Sonora held a 14-13 lead.
"There were a lot of kids over there that really wanted to win," said Craig. "You could see that 'want to' on their sideline. They weren't gonna just roll over and let us run over the top of them. So I think it was a combination of us letting up a little bit, with us thinking, 'Ah, we're gonna roll through this one.' And them really saying 'Lets go out and play some football.' "
With 6:42 left in the half, Sonora was pinned deep in its own territory after Johnson booted a perfect punt that rolled out on the 1-yard line.
Five minutes and 11 plays later, Camara rammed his way into the endzone from six yards out to to give the Cats a 21-13 halftime lead.
"I think that was a statement drive," said Craig. "Both for us as a team saying 'Yes, we can do this to anybody.' And I think it was a statement to them saying, 'We're gonna run the ball. Here we come, try to stop us.' "
The Redskins struck first in the third quarter after recovering a second Sonora fumble.
Johnson found Seawell for a 15-yard curl route which turned into a 46-yard score after the speedy Seawell worked his magic.
"With his speed, he gets people turned the wrong way and then breaks off his pattern really quick," said Weatherby. "He runs great routes. He gets a cushion and then makes moves after the catch that make people miss. Anytime we need something, he was there. He does a phenomenal job at receiver."
The 2-point conversion failed and the Cats remained in the lead 21-19.
The Wildcats answered with an 80-yard drive that looked as if the Redskins had them stopped.
On fourth-and-12 from the Redskins 36, Nessi fired his best pass of the season, a 30-yard strike to Erwin. Erwin scampered the final 6 yards for the score. Sean Adams, who went 5 for 5 on extra points, made it 28-19 with 4:58 left in the third.
Again Calaveras rallied.
Johnson went 6 for 9 on an eight-minute, 76-yard, scoring drive. He found Seawell three times for 41 yards. Seawell finished with six catches for 128 yards. He also rushed for 23 yards.
Johnson found senior tight end Brian Golston on a throw back screen for a 34-yard touchdown. Golston's extra point made it 28-26 with 8:59 left.
"Sonora's D-line and O-line were a lot better than we expected them to be," said Weatherby. "They kind of handled us up front. We couldn't run tackle-to-tackle, so early on we had to change our game plan mid-stride which didn't work very well. We threw the ball pretty decent but … "
Sonora answered with a 12-play, 80-yard drive that took 6:50 off the clock. Camara bulled his way in from the 1 for the final score.
"I think tonight went really well," said Wildcat center/noseguard Dylan Vogt. "They gave a good effort but they couldn't stop what we were doing. It feels really good to have a win. Next week, we're definitely gonna be ready to open league with Weston Ranch."
For Sonora (1-2), Nessi had 16 carries for 73 yards, K.C. Brandsted gained 41 yards, LaPertche rushed for 36 yards and Ryan Puou gained 29 yards.
Sonora outgained Calaveras 395-246.
For Calaveras, (2-1) Johnson completed 10 of 17 for 188 yards and Hodgson rushed for 29 yards and two TDs.
"It was a big disappointment tonight," said Redskin senior Joe Elliott. "We definitely made mistakes that we should not have made and this is what happens. They're a good football team. You make mistakes and this is gonna happen. Defensively, there were simple mistakes, stuff that is our fault. And that's the good news, it's all simple stuff we can work on. From here, we definitely need to get a new focus. We let down a little bit tonight and it killed us. So this week, we need to get our focus back to where it needs to be."
"We had a great game defensively, although their passing kind of killed us," said Wildcat linebacker Steve Lawrence. "We came out and punched them in the mouth and they kind of stood back and realized, 'Yeah, these guys are for real, lets come back at them.' This has always been a big game since I was playing Pop Warner seven years ago. We've always had a good rivalry going. It's the same guys playing us back then as it is now. They always come out and play hard. They gave a good effort and did a good job."
"They're tough," said Nessi. "They came out with intensity and wanted to win bad, but we took it away. It's good to finally get a win after two tough games. Now that we've got that taste in our mouths, we're gonna go out there and keep winning."

|Rhythm management in atrial fibrillation--with a primary emphasis on pharmacological therapy: Part 2.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9584306 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common, sustained, symptomatic tachyarrhythmia that clinicians are called upon to manage. Management strategies include ventricular rate control coupled with anticoagulation, versus restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm. Rate control may be achieved pharmacologically, with agents that impair AV nodal conduction directly and/or by increasing parasympathetic/sympathetic balance, or by modifying or ablating the AV nodal region anatomically. Rhythm control may be achieved by electrical or pharmacological conversion followed by maintenance of sinus rhythm by pharmacological (or occasionally ablative) therapies. This article will present current approaches to rate and rhythm control issues in AF. Part 1, published previously, dealt with rate control. Part 2, the current article, details approaches to the restoration of sinus rhythm by electrical and pharmacological means. The former may use transthoracic or catheter-based energy delivery systems. The latter may use intravenous or oral drug approaches. Part 3, to be published in a subsequent edition of PACE will deal with the maintenance of sinus rhythm.

Rifle designer and hunter Denny Austad holds some of his custom cased bullets in Ammon, Idaho on Jan. 20, 2009.

California would become the first state in the nation to require a permit to purchase ammunition - a permit covering all firearm ammo, and one requiring the buyer to pass a background check - under legislation being introduced at the state Capitol.
"It is tough for me to fathom that we can ask people to obtain a license to hunt in the state of California. We can ask them to obtain a license to fish." said Sen. Kevin De Leon, D-Los Angeles, the bill's author. "But we cannot ask them to pass a background check to purchase ammunition."

About Kit Williams
Kit Williams spent time in the Royal Navy and worked with electronics during his younger years, but eventually found his calling of painting. When the man who would eventually publish Masquerade, Tom Maschler, first suggested the idea of a children's book to Kit, the author was reluctant. Once the idea of doing a complex treasure hunt was hatched, however, Williams could not deny it and forged ahead on what would become one of the most talked-about and ambitious literary projects of the time. It has spawned many imitators, and it's still the standard by which all similar books are judged.
For years, Kit Williams had his incredibly detailed works displayed at the Portal Gallery in London, but no longer regularly displays there. Much of his work is on commission now, however, and he arranges appointments with the public annually in a sort of "open house" event. He has also designed the Dragonfly Maze for Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds, and has made several gorgeous clocks for shopping centers in Cheltenham, England. One is is the Lady and Tiger Illusion Clock at the Beechwood Shopping Centre; another is the Bubble-Blowing Frog at the Telford Shopping Centre; a third is the Wishing Fish Clock for the Regent Arcade Shopping Centre. My wife spent a few months living in England, and when I showed her Wishing Fish Clock online, she said she'd seen the clock at Regent Arcade and never realized it was Kit's work. Her guide that day mentioned only that it had been created by "a children's book artist." Bah!
A collection of Kit's work, Out Of One Eye: The Art Of Kit Williams, was published in 1986 and is now out of print–as are the hardcover editions of his two treasure hunt books. I have more information on them here.
James McLaughlin located this profile of Kit which accompanied the solution in the Sunday Times Magazine. This article appeared June 20, 1982:
by Susan Raven
"I became a painter because I was a painter," says Kit Williams. He was almost put off art at school; "but I always knew I could do it. And thinking visually was useful in physics, and I spent my time building television sets and sending up rockets. When I left school – without any O-levels – my mother was so fed up she sent me off to join the Navy."
He started painting on board the aircraft carrier Victorious ("she's razor blades now!"). "Everyone round me was playing cards – I couldn't do that. At first I thought I'd be a philosopher. So I read Nietsche and Marx and Russell for two days. No good. Then I decided to be the first visual philosopher."
To keep steady when the ship was moving, he used to tie down the canvas, and the seat he was sitting on; he even tied his arm to an armrest. "They thought I was very strange, but my divisional officer somehow understood. He gave me a tiny compartment to paint in. He thought it was better than letting me fiddle around with the ship's computer, which had to look after 24 aircraft."
Kit Williams eventually bought himself out of the Navy, for £200 ("my life's savings, enough to have bought a car!"). Then he lived on his uppers for 10 years, touring the coast in a caravan, moving when the police moved him on, taking less and less demanding jobs so that he had the energy to paint and to think. Teaching himself a potted history of art he discovered English painters like Blake and Samuel Palmer and Stanley Spencer: "I felt related to them, I identified with them." Today, he says "Botticelli is my man." One can see traces of all of them in his obsessed and haunting canvases.
He first showed his work in Bristol. Nobody, he says, came to the preview. He vowed he would never show his work again.
Then, the year he was in Whitstable, he used to collect driftwood on the shore and make little boats with his address inside, and push them out to sea, hoping to get replies from half way across the world. "That must have been 1971. In the end, somebody in England picked one up and wrote to me, thinking I was a child. When I wrote back saying, 'Actually, I'm on the dole,' this chap – a young man about to go to Cambridge University – came to see me. And it was he who brought me an entrance form for the John Moores exhibition in Liverpool."
So Kit Williams submitted to the organisers an intimate little picture of two people and a Morris Minor parked on a river bank. It was one of the 80 selected (from 800) and was bought by one of the Moores family before the exhibition even opened.
The Portal Gallery in London saw his Liverpool picture and asked him if they could show his work. And it was after their second Kit Williams exhibition, in 1976, that publisher Tom Maschler asked him to do a children's book…
Masquerade was published in September 1979 to a fanfare of publicity. The result was that Kit Williams's life was overwhelmed – by letters, telephone calls, even visits, from people who believed they were on the track of the solution. He opened all of the letters – at one time 200 a day – answered all the telephone calls until his number was made ex-directory, talked to all the visitors. None of them had got it right; and as time went by Kit Williams began to think he had made the puzzle too difficult, that no one would find his golden hare except by luck or accident.
Then, on February 18 this year, nearly two and a half years after publication, he recieved a solution from someone who signed himself "Ken Thomas".
"It was just a very childish sketch – there were no words at all on it. But it was exact."
However, when Williams telephoned Ken Thomas, it was clear that he had somehow deduced the right answer, although he hadn't cracked the code. But he had quite fairly and logically pinpointed the right spot, and the treasure was rightfully his. Its uncovering was witnessed by Kit Williams, Tom Maschler, Bamber Gascoigne, Magnus Linklater of The Sunday Times, and a TV crew.
Then, just a couple of days later, Kit Williams recieved a letter from two teachers in Lancashire. "They had worked out my method," says Williams, "completely and in every degree – in October the year before.
"They had written two letters to me, but had not sent them – they'd kept them in a drawer! They felt it was in the spirit of the thing to go and dig, and they had been too busy to do it."
Williams learned that one of the teachers and his wife had actually visited Ampthill back in January but, realising that they would need an inclinometer to measure the slope of the land, they went home and made one, in wood and cardboard, returning to the site on February 18. It was the very day on which Kit Williams recieved the letter from Ken Thomas. The Northern couple waited until it was dark, and dug a 4ft. square. But they failed to find the treasure. They decided not to try again until the equinox on March 22.
"It is a great shame they did not get in touch with me sooner," says Kit Williams. "But I was thrilled when I heard from them. I'd been so depressed that the treasure had been found without the code having been worked out. They are still the only people who have cracked it.
"I've always held – and the teachers agree – that the mystery was not esoteric, that a child of 10 could do it, with a lot of perseverance. Perhaps that need to stick with it is why the puzzle is more of a cult with the middle-aged."
Today Kit Williams lives in a tiny cottage in Gloucestershire with his second wife Eleyne. They met on a train in September 1980 and married three months later. She is a hand-(picture captioned "The only people who fully solved the puzzle – but didn't say so in time.") loom weaver – the daughter of hand-loom weavers in Stroud, nearby. There is also Bramble, the border collie, and a hive of bees: Williams's next book is about bees.
Masquerade sold more than a million copies, and the paintings were sold for four-figure sums. The Williamses could move anywhere. But, says Kit, he would never want to change his lifestyle. They now have a car, a studio for Eleyne and a workshop for Kit; but the cottage still has no central heating.
What has changed is that Williams now pays full rates for everything. "I spent 10 years almost on the breadline, making do with scraps and leftovers – and I could still do it. Money means that I can't use that skill, which means I've also had a pleasure removed."
His most immediate project is a wooden puzzle – a box so constructed that a ball of lead can be made to fall through a three-dimensional maze to release a little drawer containing something in gold. "I've never done it. But children can do it – a Japanese friend's seven-year-old twin sons cracked it in 20 minutes."
Williams has also been working on his next book for the last two years; it should be published in 1984. "Tom Maschler gave me a bottle of whisky and said, 'We must have another book out of you'. I said 'So long as it is a better idea and something no one has ever done before.' And a few weeks later I had just such an idea. It's very simple, but there's a twist." He will say no more. But it's clear that Williams's thousands of fans have another treat to look forward to.
Please check out this excellent interview from the Sunday Express Magazine in 1986, sent to me by…a very nice woman in England whose name I entirely forget. Please, come forward and take the credit. Click on the image for a larger, legible version.
In December 2009, BBC Four presented The Man Behind the Masquerade, a new, hour-long documentary on Kit, Masquerade's history and legacy, and a very special moment: Kit being reunited with the hare he'd created 30 years prior. The BBC has not rebroadcast the show, but I have been made aware that htere is a bootleg copy wending its way around the internet. What's more, one fan has uploaded the entire program as six YouTube videos.

BOSTON -- Expanded replay is coming to baseball. But the umpires in Game 1 of the World Series headed off a major uproar in the Series' very first inning by correctly reversing a call that helped the Boston Red Sox score three first-inning runs.
St. Louis committed three errors in the game -- two by Pete Kozma -- and Boston went on to win 8-1.
St. Louis, one of the major league's top-fielding teams, looked more like the Bad News Bears than slick glovesmen as they started their second Series in three seasons. ...

Social Media
Social Media is in the limelight again in the wake of the happenings on in Egypt. I myself have been so busy recently that I have not been able to do my usual level of tweeting and facebooking. We had to open up discussion on the Email/Calendaring to the Wellesley Community and I had to share with the Library and Technology Policy Committee several policy documents. As you know, policy documents take up a lot of time. Policy documents are important, but in my opinion, they need to be relevant, short, readable, to the point and practical. On the EDUCAUSE CIO list I was surprised to find that a few institutions have policies on policy documents. Hmmm… I wonder who wrote that one.
Social Media as we know is a web based technology platform for easy social interaction. Ease of use and access are critical for this to work correctly. As we know, some of the technologies such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have fared very well in this space, but a lot of them such as Google Buzz, and Ning have failed to catch on. The most recent rumor is about Yahoo! planning to shut down del.icio.us, the social bookmarking site. The struggle for us, the technologists, is what advice to give to those we support regarding the use of these.

"As the HDD industry develops ever-denser discs, integrated components
are becoming more vulnerable to chemical contamination and electrostatic discharge,"
stated Roberto Mongiovi, business development manager of Nanocyl.
"Carbon nanotube technology can help the OEMs overcome these challenges,
especially with the new HDDs being developed for televisions and car navigation
systems" Mongiovi said. "CNTs offer a much cleaner alternative to
carbon black or carbon fiber, and have an intrinsic molecular structure that
conducts electricity and controls ESD."
Nanocyl will feature its NC7000 carbon nanotubes at the trade show. Nanocyl's
CNTs provide a high level of cleanliness and abrasion resistance, less outgassing
and sloughing, and retention of key mechanical properties for conductive plastic
applications, including HGA trays, suspension trays, and other sensitive HDD
"NC7000's cost-competitive performance properties can help maintain a
product's integrity throughout the manufacturing and supply chain processes,"
Mongiovi said.
"This can help OEMs increase their manufacturing yield, and ultimately,
customer satisfaction," he explained.
"We also offer a strong global network, especially in Asia, to address
the short lead times requested by the HDD industry," he said.

Scandal-scarred Republican Ex-Gov Mark Sanford holds SC-1 for the GOP
In a race that had this conservative confronting my own convictions, Mark Sanford has won the special election for South Carolina's 1st District. As you may recall, Sanford gained fame..er..imfamy by visiting his mistress in Argentina while claiming to be "hiking the Appalachian trail." His wife then divorced him, and it appeared his political career was over. However, I guess even wayward sons can win elections if the voters are stacked enough in their favor.
Sanford's 54% won the day but pales when compared to Mitt Romney's 18-point advantage in this district last year. Perhaps there were plenty of values voters like me who decided to sit out the proceedings rather than cast a vote for someone who has demonstrated such a lack of values. Am I happy a Republican held this seat? When I look at the balance of power in the House, sure I am. But, frankly, this was a seat I would not have minded losing once Sanford got the nomination.

The founder of Agabang & Company, a South Korean maker of popular baby clothes, is selling his stake in the company as growth slows at least partly because of a trend he can't do anything about: the country's falling birthrate.
Agabang, one the country's top brands for baby clothes, said in a regulatory filing this week that it has signed an initial agreement to sell a 15.3% stake held by founder Kim Wook to Lime Fashion Korea for $31.4 million. Read More »

Come join Yoshi's SF as we celebrate Cinco De Mayo in style with Mexican Institue of Sound (DJ set)...dancing and drink specials all night. Camilo Lara never set out with the intention of taking his personal musical career seriously. At first, he was simply creating holiday mixes for friends.
But then his friends convinced him that he should take his songs off his computer and into the studio.
Natural as velcro and synthetic as leather, MIS is a good example of how borders exists only in maps. It's very difficult to classify and categorize the music of the Mexican Institute of Sound, after all how can one truly interpret the feeling and emotion of such a conceptual sound? Rich with electronica influences, beats, synthesizers, playful atmospheres that evolve with the song, his music is clearly a union of the past of Mexico's diverse cultural life with what the future of cosmopolitan Mexican music may become.
"Soy Sauce" traverses Lara's wild musical imagination with a witty sense of humour for good effect ... whether it's converting the traditional sounds of cumbia to a full-on electronic dance track, paying tribute to hip hop luminaries J Dilla and Biggie with Mexican sonidos, or singing a love song as if Serge Gainsbourg had spent time in the Mayan jungle.

Say Yes! To Friends With Benefits
I recently read an article arguing against friends with benefits, written by Simcha Whitehill at The Frisky. As everyone who reads H&L regularly knows, I'm pro FWB and pro fuck buddy, and I'm also con bad dating advice. Of course, her article is her opinion and if FWB's don't work for her, that's cool too.
First off, she references this article in the Michigan State News, where a study was conducted on 165 MSU students and their dating habits. It was found that 60% of the students had FWB-type relationships. Well, no shit Sherlock, we're talking about college students at a party school in Michigan! If you've never been to a big state school with a large student population in a small city (in cold weather), all they do is drink and f*ck at those places. MSU probably invented the FWB relationship.
Anyway, drunken college students are notorious for being loosey-goosey with their relationships, and in fact, it's pretty much a college tradition. I would throw that study right out the window and focus on what 20- and 30-something professionals are doing. BTW, I went to a huge state school (Florida) and I'd say 95% of the student population maintained FWB relationships at some point during their college careers…the remaining 5% were virgins and God help them for graduating from UF without getting laid.
Okay, moving right along. Simcha breaks down her argument into three sections:
- When Friend Is A Four Letter Word
- Whatever Happened To Wining And Dining
- Riding The Highs And Lows.
When Friend Is A Four Letter Word
The argument here is that the sex devalues the friendship or stunts the growth of a budding relationship. This is a legit argument, because it does happen, but my take is that there are solid reasons why you or your partner are doing the FWB and not doing the LTR thing. Let's examine a few of them:
- Lack of attraction – Your friend is doable, but she's not hot or cool enough to be your gf.
- Too busy – She's a busy career woman, possibly with a kid, and simply doesn't have the time to get embroiled in a relationship. She can only meet up once per week, maybe once every two weeks. The FWB model fits her calendar.
- Poor Geography – He lives in area devoid of suitable LTR partners, so instead he establishes a casual sexual relationship with a friend until his situation improves. Could be years.
Those are just three big reasons, but for anyone who's single, working, and dating post-college, you've probably been hit with one of them. Have you ever been too busy to go out and date for long stretches? I know I have, so meeting with my FB to get laid once every few weeks worked out great. Did I expect or even desire this arrangement to go on forever? No, but it was perfect for my life situation. The alternative is not getting laid, which is silly.
Whatever Happened to Wining and Dining
Barrf! Here we're talking about wining, dining, and wooing. Long courtships and romantic candlelit dinners are anathema to my very existance. Seriously, romance is freakin' 19th century. If you want to get to know me, let's go out for drinks, and if you want to have some fun, we can hit the club afterwards and go dancing. Courtships are dead as dog poo.
Putting aside AFC-style courtship, I do want to point out a FWB mistake that a lot of people make: many fuck buddies meet for sex and little else…which is actually a booty call in my book. I think that sucks, and I always insist on going out and having fun first. You're just being lazy if you go straight to the house and screw all the time.
Riding The Highs And Lows
This is the oxytocin argument, that is, women are enslaved to oxytocin and will automatically start pair bonding uncontrollably after sex. Dude, seriously? We're not in high school, where we can't control our hormones. I have yet to meet a late 20's or early 30's woman who started pair bonding after sex unless she made that conscious decision.
The FWB is a legit relationship type and works for hundreds of thousands, probably millions, of people who are operating under certain circumstances. We all can't be so lucky to find our soul mates and LTR partners all the time. Just follow the rules, treat your buddy well, and you'll be alright. I wrote a post where I discussed some rules and takeaways on establishing and maintaining a healthy fuck buddy relationship, check it out.

Bodybuilding Diet Plan
Without a bodybuilding diet plan, gaining the muscle bulk you are looking for may be impossible…
Your body & your muscles need specific nutrients to develop, if you restrict the types of foods you consume by following strict weight control diets you can very easily starve your body of the food it needs to grow muscles.
What Makes Muscles Grow?
Muscle growth is triggered by muscle exertion, after a particular muscle is stressed to its maximum during muscle building exercises it will attempt to heal itself & grow stronger, so as to be able to perform that particular muscle building exercise again without reaching its maximum.
A bodybuilding diet plan needs to ensure you have enough of the right nutrients in your system at the correct time to allow your muscles to grow & let your body bulk up.
Many people looking to bulk up & grow muscles make the same mistake, they starve their body of energy! They do this because they are trying to rid certain areas of surface fat to become more defined. A low fat low carb diet may be OK if you are trying to loose weight but it does nothing but harm if you are trying to build muscles.
What the Food Groups Do…
- Protein – Lean Protein is converted to Amino Acids which are the building material your Muscles need to grow.
- Fat – Good Fats provide both energy & promote the formation of testosterone which signals the muscles to grow.
- Carbohydrates – Complex Carbohydrates provide the energy you need during the day & for your workouts.
A good bodybuilding diet plan will promote a balance of these food groups not a restriction of them.
i.e. Someone looking to get those six pack abs will frequently eat more protein & restrict their fat & carb intake, they will then go to the gym & work out heavily on the abdominal region. However by restricting the fat they are low on testosterone so the body is missing the signals to tell the muscles to get bigger, & by restricting carbs the easiest source of energy for the muscles being worked are the muscles themselves! So rather than getting bigger better defined muscles all that effort just turns into very sour muscles.
Bodybuilding Diet Plan – How often & how much?
As often as possible is the simple answer to "How often you should eat" by eating a little, allot you keep your metabolism high & you always have plenty of energy throughout the day and avoid that afternoon low.
Tip: Vary your meals food group percentages depending upon your activities. i.e. More carbs before workouts, more protein after.
How much you eat will vary greatly upon your goals, current body size & metabolism. As a general rule it takes 15X your body weight in calories to maintain your weight. Obviously if you are going to work out vigorously or have a fast metabolism then you would need to increase that multiplier to 18 or 20X. Track your weight & adjust as required we have developed a Weight Gain Calorie Calculator to help you.
Depending upon your goals we recommend 2 bodybuilding programs:
For those looking to add weight & bulk up the Vince Delmonte bodybuilding program is a proven system with many glowing endorsements.
If you are simply looking to get ripped then the BodyBuilding Revealed course is the one for you.
Only by following a specifically designed bodybuilding diet plan for either weight gain or muscle growth will you stand a far better chance of being successful in your goals.

The University of Louisville has finally worked out a new deal that will allow a private entity to run the flagging University Hospital, which administrators say could go out of business in five years without a cash infusion.
KentuckyOne Health, a joint venture of the Catholic St. Joseph Health System and Jewish Hospital, will pour $1.4 billion into the hospital and U of L over the next 20 years and the hospital will continue providing the full range of reproductive and end of life care, under the agreement.
We have concerns but, with some reservations, believe that the plan is acceptable.
Questions still exist about whether the hospital would follow the Catholic Ethical and Religious Directives, which could restrict the types of patient care to which the poorest in the community will have access.
Administrators of the hospital said the hospital's Center for Women and Infants, which deals with reproductive care, would be operated by the University Medical Center and not KentuckyOne, and care administered there would not change under the agreement.
But they were less clear about other issues that could arise, saying that doctors and hospital staff would be encouraged to "respect" ethical concerns of both the Catholic and Jewish faiths.
We're still not sure what that means but we hope that respecting those concerns would not hinder patients from obtaining a full range of end-of-life care or treatments that come about in the future as a result of ongoing study into embryonic stem cells, which is opposed by the Catholic church.
The deal allows for treatment and trials arising from stem cell research done at U of L to be carried out in the hospital, and it allows for the school to "unwind" the deal at any time if the hospital's medical staff believes the Catholic directives are hindering patient care.
We fear the cost of an "unwind" would make that highly unlikely and that patients could be deprived of lifesaving treatment despite concerns of the medical staff.
There are also concerns about the secrecy in which the negotiations were cloaked and the fact that the public has had no input because the deal was done before U of L released any details, including the names of the bidders.
But we are encouraged by the fact that the university has published a range of documents on its website, including the joint operating agreement between the school and KentuckyOne.
Last year, the school wasted money and political capital by fighting in court The Courier-Journal's efforts to obtain that same sort of information. The newspaper, predictably, won the first round of that fight in court but U of L has appealed that ruling - arguing despite all evidence to the contrary it is not a public institution.
No matter our concerns, the arrangement is far superior to one struck last year that would have given the hospital, which was built by taxpayers, to an entity similar to KentuckyOne and would have allowed the Catholic church complete authority to dictate what services would be provided there.
Gov. Steve Beshear rightly vetoed that plan and told U of L to go back to work - then he repeatedly stiff-armed U of L President James Ramsey's efforts to get him to back down.
This time Gov. Beshear and Attorney Jack Conway have signed off on the deal because they say it protects taxpayer investment into the hospital and it protects access to the most basic reproductive health care for women, access to birth control.
The plan will also mean that future employees of the University Medical Center and KentuckyOne will receive similar pay and benefit packages, including health insurance that pays for birth control medication.
At the same time, the deal provides financial stability for the hospital and gives it a statewide network from which to develop new patients whose insurance payments will help keep the hospital afloat.
KentuckyOne will sink $75 million into academic programs for each of the first three years, it will spend $70 million to upgrade the hospital's information technology, and will give U of L $15 million annually for three years to target statewide health initiatives.
We'd much prefer a deal to run the hospital with a provider not tied to the Catholic Church or any other organization that puts its own ideology above non-sectarian medical ethics and standards of patient care.
But given the choices, the deal with KentuckyOne appears to be a step forward - though warranting a close eye from state officials to make sure patient rights and treatment and not religious orthodoxy remain the top priority.

You Can Now Shop For Beer In The Shampoo Aisle
Bröö has three ranges — Porter (for hydration), Pale Ale (for volume), and I.P.A. (for smoothness). And, the biggest benefit the company boasts is that its products leave behind zero scent of beer — unlike the lukewarm can you crack open from your leftover case post-party. But, aside from the scent factor, we don't really see a difference between the suds in Bröö and the suds in our Coors Light. The latter is arguably a lot cheaper — a bottle of Bröö costs $10 a pop — while a can of brew costs about 75 cents, if you figure a typical 30 pack will set you back about $22.
The shampoos are also free of sulfates and synthetic dyes, which most beers are anyway. But, if you're fully adverse to smelling like a frat house after rush week (which we totally understand), the shampoos may be a good idea. Bröö is available at Whole Foods — which, coincidentally, is also where you can pick up a cold one. Talk about convenience. (Beauty Snob)

I Gotta Go, It's Miller Time.Saturday, October 30th, 2010
This ad on my ESPN fantasy football team page looks much better turned 90 degrees counterclockwise.
This ad on my ESPN fantasy football team page looks much better turned 90 degrees counterclockwise.
I've been playing this stupid shit called My Brute lately. It's pretty fucking stupid but I don't have to do anything but show up. That works for me. Anyways, they have all these special powers that you can get as you go up a level but one really struck me as being a bit off. Let me show it to you.
Funny name they have for it, because I thought it was cockswordsmanship. The description doesn't help defend that it isn't. It actually makes it much more perverted if anything. Instead of thinking i'm actually Implacable, click on the picture to challenge me. Good luck.
Today in 1865, Robert E. Lee surrendered at the Appomattox Courthouse to Ulysses S. Grant to put a final end to the most epic battle in American History. I find it only appropriate that on the exact day that the Civil War ended, I find a real asshole that perpetuates racism. Not only is this guy an asshole, he's a fish. Well, i'm not sure if it a guy fish or a girl fish but whatever, it's a racist fucking fish.
Don't believe me that a fish can be racist? Take a look at this son of a bitch.
Go ahead, try and keep that N-word down. I've never hoped for extinction of a species in my life, except for now. Listen up Mr. Hawaiian Niger Trigger, there is no room for racists in todays society. If that wasn't the case, the Civil War wouldn't have ever ended. Think about it.
I'm exposing you Mr. Racist Fish. Those "N-words" as you make people say them, or as i'll call them here in a legal sort of way, "Racees", have proven they're here to stay. Welcome to your own "Civil" war buddy. If there is anything that racism has taught us, it's that we shouldn't have tolerance for people (or fish) that aren't not racist.
No, but seriously, they should change that fish's name. It's just too easy to slip up in the wrong company and get your white ass kicked by mispronouncing a fish. Damn smart ass Ichthyologists.
Let's say you're at a bar and you're hungry for something that isn't a complete meal, or as they call it, an "Appetizer". As a general rule, I don't eat something that is described as something that is going to activate my more hungry buttons. No, I am not trying to cheap out of the dinner menu, I'm just trying to half-satiate myself as I continue to get more drunk.
This is where Poppers come in.
Jalapeno Poppers are really a great go-to appetizer for your average beer drinking deep-fried food fan. I tend to fall into that category, but that doesn't mean I don't strive for something better. I want to make something better.
I started with the base of the popper and that seemed to be cheese. I decided to scrap that idea and think that it was about jalapenos. The name gave me some hints at that. So now that I knew about the jalapenos, I could research the popper part. There must be something about a jalapeno that means you can popper it. It popped in my mind instantly. Poppers are small. Now that I have established what poppers should be, it was time to create what poppers could be.
Corn? Hamsters? Nope. Cherries.
Everyone loves popping a cherry. That's why i've brought you my new deep fried Cherry Poppers. These are the first cherries that you can pop with your mouth. I guarantee you can't pop a cherry with your mouth. Unless of course you're popping one of my Cherry Poppers.
I'll never forget my first time. Or any other time for that matter.
We're working on a to go pack so that you can pop cherries wherever you want. We're going to call them Travelin' Wilcherries. Next time you wanna pop a cherry in your moms kitchen or in a gas station bathroom, we'll have you covered.
Until next time, keep poppin' them cherries.
I'd assume it's that.
I don't know. I imagine this is what Peyote is like.
Maybe I fudged it a little.
Thanks to The Informant for the AccuWeather heads up.
Are you a pillow biter?
Do you suffer from bland pillows?
Are you tripping on mushrooms and reading my blog?
Do need to spice up your Cock tail?
Introducing Dr. Bvllets' Pillow Bitters!*
Never again do you have to suffer from another flat, unsavory pillow biting. Just take a few drops, splash them on the pillow and voila! Dr. Bvllets' Pillow Bitters* has a pleasant artificial flavor that will compliment nearly any fabric blend pillow cover. Its unique patented tightening formula is suitable and optimal for men, women and fish. No matter what your pleasure, Dr. Bvllets' Pillow Bitters* has your pillow, covered.
For just $2999.95, you too can have Dr. Bvllets' Pillow Bitters*. It's been called the Spanish Fly of Ibiza, which makes sense because Ibiza is in Spain. You don't have to think too hard about that. So don't think too hard and drop us a line in the comments. We'll see what we can drum up for you.
* Not for use anywhere around me.
It's a proven wikipedia fact that for centuries men have wanted to have sex with limbless women who wear prosthetics. Revolutions are meant to be broken. That's why I present to you my newest, most disabled idea yet.
Now disabled amputees and disasters are available to the public for paid sex, guaranteed to be there as fast as they can. Judging from the legless woman in the commercial that was running a marathon, i'd say pretty fast. Don't be fooled by fake tits or transexual, those aren't prosthetics. I'm sure you don't have alot to say but, our slogan is "Get 'em there, rip it off, get it on."
Give us a call 1-800-FAKE-LEG.
If you don't get it, you might want to google "merkin".
Again, I call them how I see em.
As far as i'm concerned.
First off, this is an ad for Chase Bank and it is at a station in the NYC subway system. You probably can't read what it says on the right but it is some graffiti. Not your tagging type graffiti which is similar to animals urinating on things to mark their territory. This type of graffiti is basically people trying to show their sharp wit in the form of words. I'll read to you what it says.
"JUST LIKE A PIMP : Sell your soul to the bank with the biggest advert budget."
Everyone knows that in order to open up a bank account, you have to sell your soul. That's probably the most obvious thing here. That's why it first struck me as being intelligent. Forget that they have the most ATM locations, and that it realistically could save you potentially $20-30 in fees in a month if your check is direct deposited. Since they wrote this on the ad, they obviously did their research to see what their advertisement budget was compared to every other bank. I'm impressed that they could do all this research underground while waiting for a train and get it right. Great work.
Oh yeah, and pimps use banks.
Before you go writing some stupid fucking shit on an ad, at least think of what you're writing. Before you huff the marker.
Is it me or does Microsoft not know how to spell sink?
Also I haven't heard shit about Microsoft hand towles or Microsoft liquid sope. I'd imagine the misspelling is rampant given the situation.
Ok so you got these people putting graffiti in the subways. Sometimes they're witty and sometimes they're not. Let's take a look at this one logically.
Oh shit I had no idea that Egg McMuffins caused cancer. I've eaten about 100 of them in my life so I better get checked out immediately. That must mean logically that extra large permanent markers with volatile organic compounds are good for you. You are so smart. I'll have to remember that. Thanks for the tip Mr. Subway Graffiti Writer.
Must be the Ribeye of the Tiger.
You know how it's Ash Wednesday right? That's right. This is the day that they take an ashtray of some old smoked up Marlb dust and wipe it on your forehead. This is to signify that you are no better than cigarette ashes in the eyes of God. In addition to this, it also signifies the beginning of Lent which is Latin for "Dad's finally sober for a reasonable length of time".
I have an idea that hopefully will revolutionize Ash Wednesday.
The Logod!
Introducing the first Ash Wednesday ash smudging accessory to incorporate the visibility of a major brand with the all knowing power of God! With this particular model, you can let everyone know you love Nike and God! Christina Ricci sure does! She for one won't let a forehead like that go to waste with an ordinary ash smudge.
And kids, don't forget to ask for these by name at your local church!
This is actually what i've heard through the grapevine.
I know all of you our there are sick of trying to find your dog. Especially when you lose him. I know you can't be happy with the current methods of tracking your dog because they're cruel to animals. A tattoo? Get real, that's cruel. A RFID chip? That is even more cruel! Welcome to the 21st century with the Shepherd Brando Canine Brandin' Iron.
With our new branded dog branding system, you will never lose your dog. Our patented dog branding irons are significantly different than cow branding irons so you will never accidentally bring a cow home instead of your dog or bring the wrong dog home accidentally that you had mistaken for a cow.

It is true however that the sun will be aligned with the centre of the milky way, for the first time in 26,000 years, however due to the doubts in agreement about the actual advancement in astronomy of the civilisation, most scholars and scientists believe this is nothing more than a coincidence.
I suppose the relationship between the Giza pyramids and Orions Belt is another "Coincidence"...
I try to keep an open mind regarding the 2012 question. What I have discovered (or noticed) so far is this.....
The motions of Uranus and Neptune prove (mathematically) that there is another big "planet" out there. Is it Nibiru? I have no idea but when an ancient civilisation (Sumerians) describe Uranus and Neptune even down to their mass and colour then I think it is stupid to disregard their claim of a 10th planet.
There is plenty of archeological evidence all over the world to support the fact of recent pole-shifts and massive tsunamis. There is just no agreement as to the cause.
The present solar flare cylce peaks in 2012 and is expected to be the biggest yet. In 1954 when the flares were strong the northern lights could be seen as far south as Mexico! (will communication satellites be burnt out this time?)
In the earth's southern and northern hemispheres water and hurricanes spin in opposite directions. If the laws of physics apply in Space, then we could well find that our planet will reverse it's spin as we cross the galactic Equator. It has happened before. (re: Pre Egyptian history).
Holmes comet. The Hopis predicted a Blue Planet would be born and would be followed by a Red Planet. Holmes comet exploded in 2007 and became a Blue Planet (bigger than our sun!) Dr. Robert Harrington (deceased) discovered what he said could be a brown dwarf. Brown dwarfs are red.
Then there is all the prophetic "evidence". Edgar Casey to name but one.
And of course there is the fact NASA are preventing private astronomers from having access to the Hubble telescope as of next year.
All in all, I think there is more "evidence" to support the notion of impending destruction than what there is to dismiss it. As someone said earlier, do your own research and make your own mind up.

when nothing happens in 12/21/2012, the date for the end of the world/antichrist's coming/rapture/whatever other idea out there will change to the year 2016. In fact, I think I have heard somewhere that it might even be moved to the year 2036 afterward.
anyway, I can't quite remember where I heard this before, but this is probably what is going to take place.
