According to Thursday's CBS 12 News, an English bulldog was severely abused by a Port St. Lucie, Fla., man who was angry that his young dog had damaged things inside of his residence.
The violent situation took place on Wednesday; police responded to a call from the girlfriend of 24-year-old Kyle Romain Hall.
According to the girlfriend, Hall had beaten the year old dog, named "Scrappy," with a sawed off shotgun and then, attempted to drown him in a bathtub when he would not stop crying. When the woman tried to stop the abuse, the man allegedly turned his rage towards her.
The woman was able to escape from the apartment to phone 9-1-1.
When officers arrived, they found Scrappy, who was "dazed and unresponsive," from being beating in the head.
The injured dog was taken to an area animal hospital for treatment - he is expected to recover from the injuries sustained in the beating. Those who have met the dog describe him as "sweet and loving," despite the abuse that he endured.
The man accused of harming Scrappy was arrested and is facing multiple charges, including aggravated assault, possession of a short-barreled shotgun and animal cruelty.

Puerto Rican salsa legend Cheo Feliciano died in a car accident early Thursday, prompting the governor of the U.S. territory to declare three days of mourning. Feliciano was alone in his Jaguar when he hit a light post before dawn in the northern suburb of Cupey. Police officer Jorge Hernandez Pena, who is overseeing investigation of the crash, said in a phone interview that Feliciano was not wearing his seatbelt. Feliciano, a member of the Fania All Stars, was one of the most recognized salsa singers, with hits including "Una en un millón," ''Mi promesa," and "Contigo aprendi." He was a member of the Fania All Stars and established his own production company in the 1980s.

Therapist: Validate emotions of people affected by High Park Fire
GREELEY, Colo. (June 13, 2012) –The High Park Fire's effect on mental health will impact different people in different ways. Most importantly, according to Banner Health licensed marriage and family therapist Renee Rogers, people should know that their emotions today – mad, sad, anxious or otherwise – are expected and normal.
Right now the greatest help people can offer is to be with those who are affected by the fire, said Rogers, clinic manager for outpatient behavioral health at North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley.
"Today, people need to feel and think whatever they need to feel and think and that is an appropriate reaction to whatever their experience is in this fire." She said rather than speak, she would listen to those affected. "Ask them how they are doing? What are they thinking? What are they feeling?
"Telling their story can be helpful," she said.
She said to make sure people know their reactions are normal. Other reactions might be grumpiness, poor sleep, overeating or not taking care of themselves. Reactions can last for several weeks.
In a few months, if those people are still feeling fearful, anxious or stressed, they should visit with a mental health professional to process through the trauma.
If you know someone who is directly affected by the fire and you want to help, Rogers noted that general questions aren't as helpful as we might think. "Don't ask 'How can I help?' or 'How are you?' They will say they are fine."
Instead, she recommended that you offer specific things. Offer to bring frozen meals so the family has something to eat when they need it. Offer housing or specific assistance.
Stress related to the fire will affect people across a continuum. Firefighters have experience and know the intensity of the work schedule. They need to practice good self care in terms of sleeping and eating, and typically have time built into their schedule to replenish after the fire is over.
Some people are inconvenienced by changes in schedules or cancellations of outdoor events due to poor air quality. Then there are people who empathize with others affected by the fire. They can feel powerless and sadness about other people's loss, or they may have a high level of curiosity and want to know what's going on or what they can do to help.
Others may personally know people directly impacted by the fire, and ultimately there are those who have been evacuated, lost a home, property, pets or a loved one.
For those people, the stress is huge, Rogers said. The worry when they are away from home and the not knowing is intense, acute stress. Weeks and months down the road, it can become chronic stress.
"We need to check in with the people who are directly affected a couple of months from now, not just a couple of weeks," Rogers said. "Our lives go on, but theirs get stalled out for a while."

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Medications »
"What is high blood pressure (hypertension)?
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, affects nearly a third of all Americans. With hypertension, too much force is exerted on the arteries as blood is pumped through. This results "...
Read the High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Medications article »
univasc® is indicated for treatment of patients with hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with thiazide diuretics.
In using univasc®, consideration should be given to the fact that another ACE inhibitor, captopril, has caused agranulocytosis, particularly in patients with renal impairment or collagen-vascular disease. Available data are insufficient to show that univasc® does not have a similar risk (see WARNINGS).
In considering use of univasc®, it should be noted that in controlled trials ACE inhibitors have an effect on blood pressure that is less in black patients than in non-blacks. In addition, ACE inhibitors (for which adequate data are available) cause a higher rate of angioedema in black than in non-black patients (see WARNINGS, Angioedema).
The recommended initial dose of univasc® in patients not receiving diuretics is 7.5 mg, one hour prior to meals, once daily. Dosage should be adjusted according to blood pressure response. The antihypertensive effect of univasc® may diminish towards the end of the dosing interval. Blood pressure should, therefore, be measured just prior to dosing to determine whether satisfactory blood pressure control is obtained. If control is not adequate, increased dose or divided dosing can be tried. The recommended dose range is 7.5 to 30 mg daily, administered in one or two divided doses one hour before meals. Total daily doses above 60 mg a day have not been studied in hypertensive patients.
In patients who are currently being treated with a diuretic, symptomatic hypotension may occasionally occur following the initial dose of univasc®. The diuretic should, if possible, be discontinued for 2 to 3 days before therapy with univasc® is begun, to reduce the likelihood of hypotension (see WARNINGS). If the patient's blood pressure is not controlled with univasc® alone, diuretic therapy may then be reinstituted. If diuretic therapy cannot be discontinued, an initial dose of 3.75 mg of univasc® should be used with medical supervision until blood pressure has stabilized (see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS: DRUG INTERACTIONS).
Dosage Adjustment in Renal Impairment
For patients with a creatinine clearance ≤ 40 mL/min/1.73 m², an initial dose of 3.75 mg once daily should be given cautiously. Doses may be titrated upward to a maximum daily dose of 15 mg.
univasc® (moexipril hydrochloride) 7.5 mg tablets are pink colored, biconvex, film-coated and scored with engraved code 707 on the unscored side and SP above and 7.5 below the score. They are supplied as follows:
Bottles of 90 (Unit-of-Use) - NDC 0091-3707-09

univasc® (moexipril hydrochloride) 15 mg tablets are salmon colored, biconvex, film-coated, and scored with engraved code 715 on the unscored side and SP above and 15 below the score. They are supplied as follows:

Sluts on A Leash Site Facts
Sluts on A Leash Review
Sluts on a Leash quite literally brings you intense, hardcore movies starring pornstars on leashes. Usually they'll have thigh-high latex boots, tight spandex lingerie or other fetish outfit items on as well. Quite a few are led around with ball gags in their mouths as their big tits are stripped naked and groped, shown off to the camera. The girls will eventually be led into a position that allows the stud that's dominating them to strip and toy with her body-sucking tits, fingering her pussy and asshole-and eventually it just degenerates into an all-out hardcore fuck flick. I saw some anal sex, some messy creampie finales and lots of messy cumshots.
There were 14 movies in the Sluts on a Leash members area at the time of my visit. These were all scenes from DVDs like Slave to Love. They starred pornstars for the most part, babes like Lauren Phoenix and Taylor Rain. You can download the full length movies in DVD quality Windows Media files. There are great quality MP4 downloads as well as average quality MPEG downloads, too. For those not in the waiting mood you'll be able to stream any movie instantly in a Flash video player that is embedded right into the web page. Running times average about 25 minutes.
There were no picture galleries, but I can't say I was all that surprised considering the content is from DVDs and nonexclusive. I was surprised by the huge heap of bonuses and extras, though. As a member you're going to have access to the 49 other hardcore/extreme porn sites on the network as well as over 2,000+ DVD titles. The sites include titles like Double Plugged, Messy Holes, Fuck Her Throat, Semen Slurpers, Gooey Holes and Heel Grabbers to name just a few.
Though Sluts on a Leash is a small site its part of a large package. The porn here is exciting and exactly what was promised, and being backed up by 49+ network sites and 2000+ DVDs it makes for one massive collection of porn that you can make your own, and at a fair price. I liked the site and the extras and would recommend them.

The 2010 Nike Pro Combat uniforms were unveiled yesterday for the ten participating college football programs which includes the University of Florida. It was announced that the Gators will don the non-traditional uniforms for their rivalry game against Georgia on October 30th.
According to a Nike press release, the uniform was inspired by an alligator-skin motif, which includes a gator-skin helmet. The uniforms are 37 percent lighter than the current uniforms and are designed for greater mobility and speed while not compromising protection. Last year the Gators also participated in the Nike program, and wore redesigned uniforms against Florida State in the season finale.

Europe Re-Examines U.S. Spy Ties
Foreign Minister Says 'Cooperation Between Intelligence Agencies Is Crucial'
Spanish officials on Wednesday backtracked from earlier complaints about alleged U.S. spying, as a newly leaked document purported to show that the U.S. National Security Agency classifies Spain among its top two dozenintelligence partners.
Days after chastising Washington for tapping phones in his and other countries, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel García-Margallo called for understanding of the seriousness of threats tackled by intelligence agencies.
"We have to ensure security, and new manifestations of terrorism demand intelligence agencies work efficiently. Cooperation between intelligence agencies is crucial," he said during an official visit to Estonia. "Therefore it is necessary to find a balance between security and the right to individual privacy."
French officials, however, stood by their demands for an explanation from Washington, despite the revelation by U.S. officials on Tuesday that intelligence agencies in Spain and France cooperated closely with the NSA in information gathering.
"Our concern is the nature and extent of U.S. surveillance on our territory," a French foreign ministry spokesman said.
In Washington, President Barack Obama's top national-security advisers met Wednesday with their German counterparts in an effort to calm the uproar over revelations that the NSA had tapped Chancellor Angela Merkel's cellphone. White House spokesman Josh Earnest, traveling with the president aboard Air Force One to Boston, said the meeting was part of the White House's efforts to "resolve some of the tension."
The French daily Le Monde, meanwhile, partially backtracked on its week-old report asserting that the NSA had collected millions of records inside France.
Le Monde insisted that its Oct. 21 report—based on documents released by former NSA consultant Edward Snowden—showed the U.S. spied on French citizens. However, on Wednesday the newspaper quoted an unnamed senior French intelligence official confirming the outlines of the U.S. account that France's foreign intelligence service, DGSE, had collected phone records from outside the country and sent them to the NSA as part of a long-standing cooperation accord with the U.S.
"That part of this information was transmitted with the approval of the DGSE doesn't change anything in terms of [the practice] being an attack on liberty," the report in Le Monde said.
A spokeswoman for Le Monde didn't respond to requests for comment. A spokesman for the DGSE declined to comment.
Spain's El Mundo newspaper on Monday published similar documents obtained, it said, from Mr. Snowden, which said the U.S. had details on 60 million Spanish phone calls. Mr. García-Margallo said then that spying activity could lead to "a rupture of the climate of confidence" between Spain and the U.S.
On Wednesday, a Spanish official familiar with the country's intelligence-gathering activities said the figure of 60 million corresponds to so-called metadata gathered from calls by Spain's own intelligence service and then passed on to the NSA. Each successful call generates 20 to 25 pieces of data, he said, while an unsuccessful call generates a smaller amount of data.
The official added that most of the calls monitored were made not from Spain but rather from Afghanistan, Mali and other countries where Spanish intelligence has been involved in monitoring jihadist operations.
The controversy dominated Wednesday's session of the Spanish parliament. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy told lawmakers that the head of the country's intelligence service would soon brief parliament's Committee on Official Secrets—a relatively rare occurrence.
El Mundo on Wednesday published new excerpts from what it called NSA documents, saying they shed light on the relative importance that Spain—a country where jihadist activity has been rife for years—has for NSA operations. The newspaper cited a document titled "Sharing computer network operations cryptologic information with foreign partners," which ranks countries according to their degree of cooperation with the U.S. in intelligence matters.
At the top of the purported ranking were Anglophone countries Australia, U.K., Canada and New Zealand, which are set apart by "their sacrifices and risks incurred in their alliance with the U.S.," El Mundo reported. Spain and 18 other countries, most of them in Europe, are part of a second tier, viewed as trustworthy and friendly but potentially willing to gather intelligence against U.S. interests,according to the newspaper.
Israel was part of a third tier, defined by the alleged NSA document as giving only "limited cooperation" to the NSA.
El Mundo's report is the latest in a series based on Mr. Snowden's leaks, published over the past week in Spain, Italy and France. It is the second report signed for El Mundo by Glenn Greenwald, a U.S. journalist who has written about NSA surveillance programs and Mr. Snowden.
Earlier this week, the newspaper said it had signed an agreement with Mr. Greenwald to publish documents provided to him by Mr. Snowden related to Spain.
The partial shift by Le Monde undercuts some of the public outrage that ensued in France after the original report, which stated that more than 70.3 million phone records had been intercepted by the NSA inside of France between Dec. 10 and Jan. 8. That claim led to a phone call between French President François Hollande and Mr. Obama. Mr. Hollande's office didn't respond to requests for comment.
On Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal first reported that the data cited by the European news reports wasn't collected by the NSA, but by its European partners. Hours later NSA director Gen. Keith Alexander testified in a congressional hearing that the documents released by Mr. Snowden and published in Le Monde didn't represent data collected by the NSA.
Instead, Gen. Alexander said, the data was from a system that contained phone records collected by the U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries "in defense of our countries and in support of military operations." Gen. Alexander branded as "false" any reports alleging the leaked documents showed that the NSA collected data on European citizens.
The data exchanges were separate, however, from the alleged spying by the NSA on world leaders, including Ms. Merkel, which have also fueled the backlash in Germany and the U.S. about America's surveillance programs.
U.S. officials have said Mr. Obama was personally unaware that the U.S. was bugging the phones of world leaders.
The meeting in Washington included James Clapper, the director of national Intelligence, Susan Rice, Mr. Obama's national security adviser, and other U.S. officials. Traveling from Germany were Ms. Merkel's national security adviser, Christoph Heusgen, and her coordinator for intelligence services, Guenter Heiss, the White House said.
The heads of Germany's domestic and foreign intelligence agencies will follow in the coming days, a spokesman for Ms. Merkel, Steffen Seibert, said.

Okay so I have inundated the ISTP subforum trying to figure out this insane non-relationship that I have this ISTP. We have been involved for about a year now. It has been the weirdest involvement that I have ever had in my entire life.
Usually I don't get in so deep with someone that I can't walk away when I am ready. And, usually I am in the driver seat of my relationships. Well, no way Jose' in this one. He's been in the driver seat since day one.
And, no matter how many times I tell him I'm done with him...I let him come back. WTF? I can't get him off of my mind either. Usually, immersing myself into projects and or new goals will help me to get over anyone and move on. But, not this one. He has really gotten under my damn skin.
It has been the most off/on, push/pull, hot/cold involvement I have ever been in. I'm not sure of his Enneatype but I am leaning toward either 6w7, 7w8, or 8w7. Also, when he took the test he split 50/50 on Extravert/Introvert. He acts more like an ISTP than ESTP though.
Has anyone else dated an ISTP? If so, want to compare notes? Because I'm baffled as hell. Or, if anyone based on MBTI/Enneagram knowledge have any insight concerning compatibility?

Joan Rivers, the comedian wo put 'Can we talk' into our vernacular, has died at the age of 81. The blond actress and talk show host was surrounded by family and close friends when she passed away today at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York according to her daughter, Melissa Rivers. Her death comes after she was hospitalized last week following a cardiac arrest during a routine procedure, according to WSIL TV on Sept. 4.
"My mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh," Melissa Rivers said. "Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that re return to laughing soon."
Rivers was a staple at Hollywood red carpet events where she, sometimes along with her daughter, gave birth to the critical manner in which high fashion is critiqued these functions. Her sharp wit spared no one and it made her a household name.
Known for using her own life as fodder for her standup routines, Rivers made fun of everything from her own looks to her own mortality. In a career field once dominated by men, Rivers broke the mold and helped usher in a new wave of female comedians according to E! Online.
A force to be contended with, Rivers kept working into her 80s. In recent years, she was a staple on QVC and until the very end, she considered comedy not only her calling but her therapy.
She leaves behind her daughter and one grandson, Edgar. Our condolences go to the friends, family and loved ones of Joan Rivers. She will be missed.

I think delightfully cute is the best way to describe these push pins from Crea Shines, you can't help but love them. I think having these in the office would actually force me to put things up on the board instead of cluttering every desk around me. There are pages and pages of designs in different forms, they have cufflinks, jewelry, key-rings and magnets etc (I think I even spotted a pink Poodle on something) and all created from a polymer clay. If it's not there, put in a request – they love to do custom orders!
Oh I love these! I have dog bone push pins for my kids on their chore charts! I think I use them more than they do!

A change in how Ohio classifies Medina County Public Transit threatens to leave some of its most dependent riders stranded next year.
County transit officials have told the Medina County Board of Developmental Disabilities that there won't be bus transportation for as many as 100 developmentally disabled clients who work at the Achievement Center in Granger Township or who need to go to events, such as the Special Olympics.
Board officials say they are working to find a solution, but they warn there are no easy answers.
The cutbacks stem from the Ohio Department of Transportation's decision to reclassify Medina County Public Transit as an Urban Transit System, beginning in 2014.
While urban systems receive federal funding for equipment and facilities, they get far less to subsidize daily operations.
The upshot is that the county transit system will receive $600,000 less next year. That will require cuts to avoid a projected shortfall of about $1 million — half of the system's annual operating budget.
The county system offers some fixed bus routes. But most riders use the on-demand, curb-to-curb service that allows residents to phone for pick-ups and drop-offs at specific locations, such as doctor's offices and workplaces.
The loss of funding will force the county to cut the fixed bus routes from 23 to 15 and eliminate nearly all of its on-demand service, which most of the developmentally disabled rely on.
For many it's their only form of transportation.
"About 100 consumers will lose transportation," said Greg LaForme, superintendent for the county's programs for the developmentally disabled.
LaForme said the on-demand system is especially important for physically handicapped, elderly and kidney dialysis patients.
He said his board has a small number of buses and utility vans, but the cost of expanding that fleet would be "very expensive."
Over the past three years, LaForme said, the Board has paid $104,000 per year to contract with Medina County Public Transit. He said he hopes that any solution they find will come in equal to or under that cost.
LaForme predicted that any solution would involve help and funding from several sources.
County Commissioner Stephen Hambley agreed.
"We're leaving no stone unturned nor grant unresearched," he said.
"We're lobbying our state representatives to assist us in appealing to ODOT to access some of those rural transit dollars, and asking Medina city and Wadsworth city for matches on the grants."
He said the commitments from those cities have reduced the budget gap to roughly $300,000. Hambley protested the state's reclassification of Medina as an urban system.
He said the change stemmed from population growth found in the 2010 census that resulted in Medina County to be designated an urban transportation area.
Hambley said the state's ruling puts the county public transit system in unfair competition for the federal dollars with much larger systems, including Cuyahoga County's RTA, LakeTran and Akron Metro.
He said the county also was hurt by another state ruling: The Federal Transit Authority allows urban transit systems in rural areas to access both urban and rural money, but the Ohio Department of Transportation has ruled they can only access one funding source.

Study: Pesticide robs kids of IQ points
Prenatal exposure to a class of pesticides widely used on food crops is related to lower intelligence scores at age seven, a U.S. study has found. Organophosphates a class of pesticides toxic to brain cells have been associated with learning delays and ADHD in children
The scientists at the University of California, Berkeley found that every tenfold increase in measures of organophosphate pesticides detected during a mother's pregnancy corresponded to a 5.5 point drop in overall IQ scores in the seven-year-olds.
Organophosphates are a class of pesticides toxic to brain cells, according to the researchers. Indoor use of chlorpyrifos and diazinon, two common forms of the pesticides, has been phased out over the past decade, mainly because of health risks to children. The 329 children in the UC Berkeley study had been followed from before birth. Their pregnant mothers had previously provided urine samples that were tested for breakdown products of the pesticides.

Researchers advise consumers to thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables, using a soft brush if practical, are impractical. Plants use the water in the soil. If there are chemicals in the soil, there is a greater chance of those chemicals to become part of the food. The higher the percentage of water in fruit or vegetables such as strawberries and watermelon, the higher the pesticide counts. According to Environmental Working Group an excellent resource for everything that matters to our environment and your health
"Organophosphates have been associated with learning delays and ADHD in children," Lunder added. "But the fact that three separate studies arrived at such similar conclusions is overwhelming evidence that this family of pesticides presents profound and very serious health risks to children before they're even born."
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) compiles USDA's data and ranks the most popular fruits and vegetables according to the levels of overall pesticide residues.

My Island, My HomeHow many people own their own boat?My Island, My Home by Serfent
I do, I swear it's made out of wood,
and barely can float.
But hell I could care less if it stood
in a moat.
Now with this boat, you may have guessed,
I sail around toward the West.
And then I see I must be blessed,
the island at the end of my quest.
Or so says my note.
On this island I guess I'll stay
to dodge the things I tend to hate.
Evading things that brought dismay
like being accused of being late.
Or so I hope.
Two months have passed,
I'm having fun.
I've forgotten the past,
and found I love the sun.
Or so I thought
I miss my friends,
I miss my life,
I miss the trends
that end in strife.
I'll load my boat.
As I sail away from my island
I wave goodbye and shed a tear.
Until it fades into a highland
it was a sight most queer.
Returning to my life, my island,
my home.

Pedal for Paws is the most important annual fundraiser for Sumner Spay Neuter Alliance, a low-cost spay/neuter clinic located in Gallatin, TN. Participants will enjoy a beautiful bike ride together while raising money for SSNA. Last year this event was voted the most popular animal rescue fundraiser in the greater Nashville area by readers of Nashville PAW magazine. On Saturday, April 12th the event will run from 8 am to 8 pm.
How it Works
Participants must register ahead of time through Active.com for either the 12 mile, 30 mile or 62 mile course. All courses travel through beautiful local scenery. The donation fee required for all courses is $30 per person. This is a great event for the whole family to participate in. Registration includes a free Pedal for Paws T-shirt. Pedal for Paws biking jerseys will also be on sale the day of the event for $70 each.
Sponsored Features
Courtesy of KrankNashville, a local indoor fitness center, spin bikes with accompanying music will be available to help riders warm up or cool down. Local restaurant Moe's Southwest Grill will be providing an end-of-race lunch for all participants. At the end of the event, there will be prizes for King and Queen of the Mountain such as the green racing bike from Regions Bank in the attached pictures. The three fastest riders in both the male and female categories will receive gift certificates from Biker's Choice totaling $500.
Who Can Participate
Everyone from children to senior adults can participate. For younger riders, shorter courses are available. Throughout each course frequent rest stops are available with refreshments. People who train professionally can enjoy the 62 mile course. Those who are less active can enjoy a leisurely ride on one of the smaller courses.
How Your Donations Make a Difference
Sumner Spay Neuter Alliance has been helping low income families and local animal rescue groups to spay and neuter their pets since 2011. In that time period, SSNA has performed more than 18,000 surgeries. The clinic spays and neuters house cats, feral cats, and dogs of all sizes. Donations to SSNA help keep the cost of surgery as low as possible. The clinic also raises money for their Community Fund, which pays for spays and neuters on stray or community animals. This fund also helps pay for spay and neuter surgery for those who cannot afford even a lowered fee. Last year's Pedal for Paws event raised enough money to cover 350 surgeries for the community.
If you are not able to attend the Pedal for Paws event, you can still help. Donations of any size may be made securely online through PayPal in the Donations section of the SSNA website. The clinic also has a wish list of items that are always needed to keep the program running. Donations of bleach, paper towels, old sheets, blankets or towels, trash bags, pet crates, and copy paper may be dropped off at the clinic during the day or when you bring animals in for services.

Training to build muscle isn't too hard to wrap your head around. A caveman could probably stumble into a gym and figure out that lifting those big hunks of metal leads to bigger muscles. Nutrition for building serious muscle becomes more complicated.
Weightlifters need ample nutrients to support muscle growth—we all know that much. But muscle builders are barraged with enough diets, strategies, foods, and terminology to confuse Albert Einstein, let alone a caveman.
Who are you to believe? Well, me, and not just because I did graduate work at Yale en route to my Ph.D. Rather, believe me because I applied the following eight nutrition rules for building muscle to my own physique with great results.
Consider them both lab-tested and "Jim" gym-tested.
Rule 1: Calories Are King
The first thing to focus on is supplying your body with plenty of calories. If you don't consume enough of them, your body can't expend energy growing. That means no gains. So on workout days, aim to consume 20-22 calories per pound of body weight for the day.
On non-training days, reign in the calories just a bit since you won't be expending as many. Cut your intake down to about 18 calories per pound of body weight. That'll help to keep your mass gain on the muscle side, not the fat side.
Rule 2: Two-Time(s) Your Protein
Muscle is made from protein, so it makes perfect sense that in order to grow you need to eat a lot of protein. How much is a lot? It's way more than the standard 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.
Try increasing it to 2 grams per pound of body weight on both training and rest days. You're better off eating too much protein rather than not enough. As far as sources go, you'll want plenty of whey and casein protein powder, but also lots of whole-food protein sources such as eggs, beef, chicken, fish, and dairy.
Rule 3: Eggs Are Excellent For Muscle Growth
When it comes to protein, there are certain types you need to include in your diet. Eggs are definitely one of them. They're so small, yet full of protein. Eat at least three whole eggs and three egg whites per day to gain significant muscle mass.
Worried about the cholesterol? Don't be. Cholesterol from egg yolks won't raise your LDL—bad cholesterol—levels.
Rule 4: Follow The Whey Awesome Strategy
Whey protein , you hear about it all the time in the muscle-building realm. But it's important how you use it. As a rule, start your morning with a whey protein shake. After sleeping for eight hours, your body is in a catabolic state as a result of your brain needing glucose from your muscles during an extended nighttime fasting. Your muscle may be broken down for fuel. Breaking down muscle for glucose is the most efficient way for your brain to acquire what it needs, but it isn't congruent with building muscle.
That's why you have to hit your body with fast-digesting whey first thing in the morning. Shy away from slow-digesting foods like eggs. Pair a shake that has 20-40 grams of protein with a side of fruit for a good morning carb and glucose hit.
About 30-60 minutes after your first breakfast, have a second breakfast of slower-digesting whole foods, such as eggs and oatmeal.
Don't forget the importance of timing shakes around your workout window. It's commonly known that the time periods preceding and following a workout are crucial for getting important nutrients into your body.
A 2006 Victoria University study published in "Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise" showed that weight-training men who consumed a shake containing protein, carbs, and creatine immediately before and after their workouts for 10 weeks gained almost twice as much muscle mass as men who took the same shake before breakfast and before bed.
The 30 minutes before and after workouts are your protein windows and whey is the fastest-absorbing protein. For best results, I suggest consuming 20 grams of whey protein along with carbs and creatine before your workout. Immediately afterward, mix 20-40 grams of whey protein with 10-20 grams of casein for some fast- and slow-absorbing protein fortification.
Rule 5: Use Carbohydrates Wisely
Carbs are extremely important when trying to build serious size. Your body needs to know you have an energy surplus to grow muscle efficiently. Stocking up with glycogen—the storage form of carbs—signals that your body has an energy surplus, thus turning on your anabolic switch.
Glycogen pulls water into the muscles, making them fuller. Glycogen also supports the stretching of muscle fiber membranes, which results in more complete growth and better long-term results.
On workout days, consume 2-3 grams of carbs per pound of body weight. And on rest days, when you won't be burning up carbs in the gym, drop your carb intake to 1-1.5 grams.
Timing carb consumption relative to your workouts is important as well. Within 30 minutes of the start of your workout, pair your whey shake with 20-40 grams of slow-digesting carbs such as oatmeal or whole-wheat bread. Slow-digesting carbs provide longer-lasting energy than fast carbs. Plus, they don't spike your insulin levels.
Within 30 minutes after your workout, consume another 40-100 grams of carbs along with your protein shake. This time, however, you want fast-digesting carbs such as white bread, Vitargo S2, sorbet, or fat-free candy. The spike in insulin levels not only helps to quickly replenish muscle glycogen, but it also boosts protein synthesis and blunts cortisol levels.
You can think of this as a time to indulge a bit. My favorite post-workout carb is candy which uses dextrose as the main ingredient. Examples include Wonka Pixy Stix, Wonka Bottle Caps, and Wonka Sweet Tarts.
Dextrose is basically glucose—the form of sugar your body uses. That means that when you eat candy made of dextrose, your body doesn't have to digest it. Instead, it absorbs immediately into your bloodstream and heads to your muscles.
Rule 6: Don't Shortchange Your Fat Intake
You should not turn your body into a tub of lard, but you should eat plenty of fat. Guys need fat, even saturated fat, to maximize natural levels of testosterone.
Monounsaturated fat is especially important for maintaining testosterone levels and enhancing overall health. The essential omega-3 fats found in fatty fish encourage better muscle and joint recovery.
For your fat intake, consume 1/2 gram of fat per pound of body weight per day. One-third of that should be saturated, a third should be monounsaturated fat, and the other third should be omega-3 polyunsaturated fats.
Rule 7: Beef Up For Maximum Gains
Yep, beef is another important protein source. In addition to providing quality protein, beef's saturated fat is great for supporting healthy testosterone levels and maximizing muscle growth.
Beef is also rich in B vitamins, zinc, and iron—benchmark nutrients for growing muscle and maintaining energy levels during training. Now you know why beef is what's for dinner.
Rule 8: Slow Things Down With Casein
Remember how your brain selfishly burns muscle to fuel itself when you sleep? Well, the best way to avoid that is by having some slow-digesting casein before bed.
Casein constitutes the majority of the protein in milk and forms micelles when mixed with fluid. These micelles behave like an onion—each protein layer gets peeled off and digested one at a time, providing your body with a steady stream of aminos for about seven hours.
That prevents your body from using muscle aminos. Phew! The best casein protein powder is one that contains micellar casein. If you prefer a food source, a cup or so of cottage cheese works well too.

During the month of December, I ran a contest for the funniest thing that ever happened to you on the disc golf course. The prize was a new Vibram Lace disc. I received several good stories for the contest, but my favorite was the following story from John in Kentucky. This would have been very embarrassing and it would have been hilarious to see, if you were not the reporter.
A few Christmases ago, I got my dad two discs for a gift. We decided to go out to Winton Woods (a short course in Cincinnati) that morning so he could try them out. There was a guy from the Cincinnati Enquirer there and asked us if he could snap a pic or two for the paper. He gets out about 50 feet from the tee pad on the right side of the fairway on a short 160 ft hole and asks us to throw some discs so he can get a few pictures.
My dad throws two shots with no problem but then I step up and on my first throw, I proceed to hit him right in the chest with my disc on a grip locked shot. Luckily since I was just a beginner at the time my shot didn't have a ton of steam on it but enough to make an audible thud. I felt so bad and apologized about 100 times but needless to say I didn't make the paper and my dad did. I learned if you wanna make the paper don't hit the photographer with your disc.
Every disc golfer has had the experience of your brain just not getting the signal to your hand at the right moment telling it to release. Lucky for most of us there was not a reporter in the way of the errant throw.
For this story, John won himself a new Vibram Lace high speed distance driver. This is a great disc that will help the game of any disc golfer. Thanks for the story John, and enjoy the disc.
I heard back from John on how he likes the new disc, as I expected he loves it. John said " I want to thank you again for the Lace disc. I've gotten a chance to throw it over the past week and it's such a great disc. It flies so straight with dependable fade and the stability in it is perfect. I think this disc has a chance to become my new go to driver. I look forward to reading more disc golf stories on the website.
If you haven't tried the Lace, you need to give it a go.

May 22, 2001
This Week:
The Washington women's rowing team makes a fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships, May 24-26 on Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Ga. The Huskies were the top seed from the West Region and earned an automatic berth to the regatta.
Lake Lanier was the site of Washington's last NCAA title in 1998 where they defeated Brown in the varsity eights competition and won the team title.
The Event:
Lake Lanier, in Gainesville, Ga., is the site of the 2001 NCAA women's rowing championships, co-hosted by he Lake Lanier Rowing Club and the University of Central Florida, May 24-26. Lake Lanier was the Olympic rowing course for the 1996 games.
The NCAA Championships are comprised of 10 teams and each team is required to field a varsity eight, second varsity eight (junior varsity), and varsity four. In addition, nine eight-woman boats from institutions not represented in the team competition are selected to compete for the varsity eight tittle. There are a total of 311 competitors.
The 2001 Teams:
Along with Washington, the following nine schools earned team invitations: defending champion Brown, Boston U., California, Harvard, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State, Princeton and Virginia. Among the crews earning team NCAA team bids, the Huskies have only faced California this season, defeating them at Pac-10s, San Diego, and their annual dual. USC, which handed Washington it's only loss this season, will be in the mix as an at-large invitee. Syracuse, Yale, Michigan State, and Rutgers also earned the varsity eight at-large bids. See notes below for the entire championship field.
Washington at the NCAA Championships:
The Huskies captured the first two team titles, in 1997 and '98, when the sport first became sanctioned by the NCAA. The '97 crown was Washington's first NCAA title in any sport. Last year, Washington claimed the second place team award, as they were runner-up to Brown by placing second in the I Eights, II Eights, and winning the varsity four competition. This year will be the tie breaker between Washington and Brown who both own two national titles.
A Look Back at 2000:
Brown earned its second consecutive NCAA title, shooting ahead of Washington at Cooper River in Camden, New Jersey. Washington won in the Fours event, while placing second to the Bears in both the I and II Eights.
Going into the deciding I Eights, with Washington trailing Brown by just one point, the I Varsity grande final set up a much-anticipated showdown between two unbeaten crews, the No. 1 and No. 2-ranked teams in the country. The Brown Bears jumped off the starting line and led wire-to-wire, covering the 2,000-meter course in a time of 6 minutes, 37.20 seconds. The Huskies, who were down early, came from behind Virginia and California and made a hard charge over the last 500 meters to finish about a length back in second place at 6:41.10. The Cavaliers were third at 6:42.79 and Cal was fourth at 6:46.50. Brown's victory in the last race gave it a team total of 59 points while Washington finished the day with 55. Virginia was third with 48 points followed by California (38) and Michigan (34) to round out the top five.
Race Notes:
The Huskies were successful in defense of their Pac-10 title May 13 on Lake Natoma in Sacramento, Calif. 'Washington's varsity crew has only one loss this season, against the USC Trojans at the San Diego Crew Classic by a margin of .52 seconds ' the varsity redeemed that loss with a win over USC by 3 seconds at the Pac-10 Championships last weekend ' the junior varsity crew is undefeated this season as they won Pac-10s by 3.5 seconds over cross-state rival WSU ' for the third year in a row, the varsity four line-up is comprised of all novice women ' the past two years, the novice fours have won back-to-back national titles, under Husky novice coach Eleanor McElvaine.
Been There, Done That:
Of the 23 Husky rowers competing in the three different events, 16 have NCAA Championship experience. Five members have returned to the varsity boat after their second place finish in the 2000 I Eight race, while six rowers return from last year's junior varsity eight. All members of last year's national champion varsity four have landed spots in the varsity and junior varsity boats this year.

National Champion Huskies:
Long before rowing became an NCAA Championship-sanctioned event, the Huskies were a fixture at the collegiate championships and collected several national titles. The first women's collegiate championship was contested in 1980 in Oak Ridge, Tenn. Washington won its first varsity eight title in 1981, the first of an unprecedented five straight varsity titles. They won back-to-back varsity gold medals in 1987 and '88 before earning the first NCAA title in 1997. The Huskies made a clean sweep of the varsity and junior varsity eight and varsity four in 1987.
Here's a look at the years Washington crews won national titles:
Varsity Eight - 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1987*, 1988, 1997, 1998
Junior Varsity Eight - 1981, 1982, 1983, 1987*, 1989, 1994
Varsity Four - 1987*, 1999, 2000* - swept all three races

LG and Samsung caught stealing cheap industrial electricity
There are two kinds of electricity in South Korea. No, just kidding, there's only one – but with two separate price tiers. The cheapest (by far) is supposed to be for industrial use only. Manufacturing, mining, and other production equipment and facilities (read: factories) go here. And then there's the 'normal' priced electricity, which is for offices, R&D centers, general purpose buildings, and so on.
So, now that you know all this, would it surprise you to find out that certain companies have been found to have used the cheap 'industrial' electricity for 'normal' usage as well?
It turns out that Samsung and LG are on a list of companies in Korea that have done exactly that – only paying for the cheaper stuff instead of buying more expensive electricity for offices and such (even golf courses!). This has been going on, get this, since 2004. In Korea, apparently this is called 'stealing electricity' (even if that's not factually accurate). Obviously, the practice saved LG and Samsung a lot of money, but now they have a steep price to pay for that.
According to Korean regulations, those who are caught 'stealing electricity' like this have to pay twice the price difference – so twice the amount that they've saved. That should (hopefully) teach them.

pancetta, white bean and chard pot pies
print now | return to original post
Pancetta, White Bean and Swiss Chard Pot Pies
From The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook
The pancetta, while adding a lovely, smoky base, can be omitted to make this vegetarian. In fact, I went back and forth many, many times about removing it so that this could stay in the vegetarian section, but in the end, decided it easier I leave the choice to you. For a vegetarian version, simply skip the pancetta and cook your vegetables in 2 tablespoons olive oil instead of 1. You can replace the swiss chard with any green you have around, from a hearty spinach to kale, adjusting the cooking time accordingly to make sure it wilts a bit before going into the oven to finish cooking.
As you can see from the photos, I really don't own soup crocks. I have debated the value of purchasing some many times of the years, but you must trust me when I say I don't have room for a single extra dish I don't already own in my life right now. Instead, I just use two-cup bowls we already have that are ovenproof. (When buying a dish set, I always look to see if they are ovenproof, as you never know when this will come in handy.) If you don't have ovenproof soup bowls, you can always make a large version of this in a casserole dish with one big pastry lid.
Weekday night tip: Make a double batch of the stew and lids. Keep them separate and for two to three nights, you can ladle what you'd like into bowls, roll out lids and bake them to order.
Serves 4
2 cups (250 grams) all- purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon table salt
13 tablespoons (185 grams or 1 stick plus 5 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, diced
6 tablespoons (90 grams) sour cream or whole Greek yogurt (i.e., a strained
1 tablespoon (15 ml) white wine vinegar
1/4 cup (60 ml) ice water
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
4 ounces (115 grams or 3/4 to 1 cup) 1/4-inch-diced pancetta
1 large or 2 small onions, finely chopped
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 large stalk celery, finely chopped
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
Thinly sliced Swiss chard leaves from an 8- to 10-ounce (225- to 285-gram)
bundle (4 cups); if leaves are very wide, you can halve them lengthwise
3 1/2 tablespoons (50 grams) butter
3 1/2 tablespoons (25 grams) all- purpose flour
3 1/2 cups (765 ml) sodium- free or low- sodium chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups white beans, cooked and drained, or from one and a third 15.5- ounce
(440-gram) cans
Make lids: In a large, wide bowl (preferably one that you can get your hands into), combine the fl our and salt. Add the butter and, using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut them up and into the flour mixture until it resembles little pebbles. Keep breaking up the bits of butter until the texture is like uncooked couscous. In a small dish, whisk together the sour cream, vinegar, and water, and combine it with the butter-flour mixture. Using a flexible spatula, stir the wet and the dry together until a craggy dough forms. If needed, get your hands into the bowl to knead it a few times into one big ball. Pat it into a flattish ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill it in the fridge for 1 hour or up to 2 days.
Make filling: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium- high heat in a large, wide saucepan, and then add the pancetta. Brown the pancetta, turning it frequently, so that it colors and crisps on all sides; this takes about 10 minutes. Remove it with a slotted spoon, and drain it on paper towels before transferring to a medium bowl. Leave the heat on and the renderings in the pan. Add an additional tablespoon of olive oil if needed and heat it until it is shimmering. Add onions, carrot, celery, red pepper flakes, and a few pinches of salt, and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are softened and begin to take on color, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute more. Add the greens and cook until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with the additional salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Transfer all of the cooked vegetables to the bowl with the pancetta, and set aside.
Make sauce: Wipe out the large saucepan; don't worry if any bits remain stuck to the bottom. Then melt the butter in the saucepan over medium- low heat. Add the flour, and stir with a whisk until combined. Continue cooking for 2 minutes, stirring the whole time, until it begins to take on a little color. Whisk in the broth, one ladleful at a time, mixing completely between additions. Once you've added one- third of the broth, you can begin to add the rest more quickly, two to three ladlefuls at a time; at this point you can scrape up any bits that were stuck to the bottom — they'll add great flavor.
Once all of the broth is added, stirring the whole time, bring the mixture to a boil and reduce it to a simmer. Cook the sauce until it is thickened and gravylike, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir the white beans and reserved vegetables into the sauce.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Assemble and cook pot pies: Divide the filling between four ovenproof 2-cup bowls. (You'll have about 1 1/2 cups filling in each.) Set the bowls on a baking pan. Divide the dough into four pieces, and roll it out into rounds that will cover your bowls with an overhang, or about 1 inch wider in diameter than your bowls. Whisk the egg wash and brush it lightly around the top rim of your bowls (to keep the lid glued on; nobody likes losing their lid!) and drape the pastry over each, pressing gently to adhere it. Brush the lids with egg wash, then cut decorative vents (smaller than mine, please, as they led to lots of draping) in each to help steam escape. Bake until crust is lightly bronzed and filling is bubbling, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Do ahead: The dough, wrapped twice in plastic wrap and slipped into a freezer bag, will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge, and for a couple months in the freezer. The filling can be made up to a day in advance and stored in a covered container in the fridge.

Grand Turk, one of the few new Caribbean ports to pop up in recent years, celebrated the end of its first "year" with a bang: Carnival Corporation, which has positioned the island as a Bahamas alternative by building a new cruise center there, says 136 ships (with nearly 300,000 total passengers) stopped by in 2006.
Grand Turk opened to big-ship cruise traffic in February 2006 with a brand-new pier -- and pier-side facilities, such as a shopping arena, rollicking bars and restaurants (including the Caribbean's largest-ever Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville restaurant), cruise terminal and shore tour operators. The island, part of the British-affiliated Turks and Caicos string, had previously been considered too out of the way for anything but the smallest boutique-sized vessels.
You could say that the fact that Grand Turk had such a phenomenal maiden season was a lock, right? After all, Carnival Corporation, the industry's leading cruise ship company, made sure of that, assigning ports of call to vessels belonging to its own lines. It was a mainstay on voyages on cruise lines ranging from Princess to Carnival and from Holland America to Costa.
What's interesting, though, is that Grand Turk's successful season was also helped along by lines that actually had to pay Carnival Corporation to come there (and use its cruise terminal and other facilities). Crystal Cruises, for instance, visited Grand Turk seven times in 2006 and will call eight times in 2007. Spokeswoman Mimi Weisband says, "Guest response has been very positive. Grand Turk is a fantastic snorkeling and scuba destination and our guests are enjoying the experience."
As interest grows, so does the list of excursions offered; a spokesman for Holland America tells us that due to "very strong response," they have just about doubled the number of tours offered on Grand Turk, including helmet diving and glass-bottom kayaking.
During the port's inaugural season, according to the statement, not a single call was missed due to severe weather -- an important consideration for lines planning Caribbean voyages, particularly during hurricane season.
Grand Turk is actually the second major "new port" to be developed in the Caribbean, having been preceded by Costa Maya, on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula (which, incidentally, wasn't funded by Carnival Corp.). What's next? A Carnival source tells us to keep an eye on Belize City and Grand Cayman as possible destinations in line for a massive cruise-related upgrade.

The men's and women's track and field teams finish seventh and fifth, respectively, at the 2013 MPSF Championships in Seattle. The Bruin women were unable to hold onto their led after the first day of competition but both squads rounded out the indoor conference championships with strong performances.
Sophomore Brea Buchanan took third place (8.30) in the women's 60m hurdles final Saturday at the Dempsey Indoor Facility. Buchanan entered the finals heat as the top qualifier, but Arizona State's Christabel Netty and Katie Nelms of Stanford emerged victorious in the finals with great races to beat the Bruin sprinter.
In the women's 400m final, Bruins Turquoise Thompson and Ally Courtnall finished back-to-back. Thompson took sixth (53.78) and Courtnall placed seventh (54.56). The 400m event was also a bright spot for the Bruin men Saturday, as sophomore Pete Lauderdale followed up yesterday's winning performance in the distance medley with a fifth place finish (47.96).
On the men's side, Nicholas Scarvelis placed second in the shot put event (61-4/18.69m), giving the men's team eight of their 39 points of the weekend.
Marcus Nilsson was unable to defend his heptathlon title from the 2012 MPSF Championships, despite winning the shot put event and posting top four results in five of the seven events. The junior Swede finished second (5,670 pts.).
Oregon claimed the women's team championship (112 pts.) and Arizona State ran away with the men's title (125.5 pts.).
UCLA Track and Field resumes competition next weekend with a set of meets: the Iowa State Last Chance, the Notre Dame Last Chance, the Washington Final Qualifier as well as the USA Track & Field Championships.

I've been craving mushrooms lately. Probably because it's cold outside and they're a hearty addition to meals. Plus, they're delicious. I especially love the shiitake right now with it's robust flavor and chewy texture. Seems like I'm eating them about every other night. Last night I paired them with some crimini mushrooms, kale, and balsamic vinegar. It was good!
Dr. Fuhrman has reported that mushrooms have immune enhancing and cancer fighting properties. They're also included in his list of G-BOMBS (greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, seeds). I've been working on adding more of these health promoting foods to my diet. It hasn't been hard since they're all things that I enjoy.
Balsamic Shiitakes & Kale
2 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
2 cups sliced crimini mushrooms
1 bunch curly kale, washed, stem removed, and torn into 2-3 inch pieces
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
sea salt and black pepper to taste
Use a large frying pan. Saute the mushrooms over medium heat in water or a few tablespoons of olive oil until tender. Add the kale and balsamic. Cover and let steam for about 5 minutes or until the kale starts to turn bright green. Remove the lid and stir, cooking for another minute of two until the kale is tender. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
I served mine with black beans and quinoa. I thought it was a pretty tasty combo. And since it's HVF I thought I'd mention that I'm still having my warm lemon ginger water and green smoothie every day.
Yep, the smoothies still look like swamp mud thanks to my love for spirulina. But I promise they taste great. I don't drink smoothies just for nutrition. They have please my taste buds too.
This weekend is going to be full of homework, mostly paper writing and coming up with a study plan for my midterms. Happy Friday :)

What better way to spend your wedding anniversary then to celebrate it on your own reality TV show. Not everyone wants to spend the day that way, except Tori Spelling was adamant that the camera's keep filming.
Tori is documenting the damage done to her marriage when her husband, Dean McDermott, cheated on her. A source told Radar Online that Dean wanted to take the day off to spend it with Tori. The source said, "He begged Tori to not allow film crews to film them on their anniversary, but she said it had to proceed, that they had commitments. To say he was disappointed is an understatement."
The reality show, "True Tori" has exposed some major problems in their marriage. Dean admitted to cheating on Tori while he did a show for the Food Network channel, "Chopped Canada." Although he admits to what he did, he blames it on the fact that he can never have enough sex. He accused Tori of falling short on satisfying his intense craving.
Acceding to Tori, their marriage had no problem in that department until they had kids. Where Dean used to be the only one getting attention, he couldn't handle having to share when their kids came along.
Dean allegedly had plans for their special day. Someone saw him at Victoria's Secret buying lingerie. No wonder he wanted the camera crew gone.
