We can help you settle issues of paternity, identify if your teen is using drugs, pre-screen job applicants, test your cholesterol levels and even tell you where your ancestors came from.

Paternity Testing at ARCpoint Labs of Altamonte Springs
You don't have to go on a national talk show to get a paternity test. If there are questions of paternity, come to ARCpoint Labs of Altamonte Springs. We will test both the father and the child, and it's preferred to have the mother present too. All DNA paternity tests, whether a court admissible legal test or only for informational purposes, are performed at a lab accredited by the AABB.
Drug & Alcohol Testing at ARCpoint Labs of Altamonte Springs

DOT Testing
Our facility is set up to comply with DOT-regulated drug testing procedures. We also assist small companies in consortium assignments.
Alcohol Testing
If you need to determine if an employee, friend or family member is under the influence, we can run an alcohol test to determine BAC levels.
Standard Drug Testing Panels
Whether it's a 5-panel, 10-panel or 12-panel, we can test for "traditional" drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc. We can also test for prescription drugs.

One vehicle's off-roading venture at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday has cost an Eastern New Mexico University women's soccer field considerable damage, as well as serious safety concerns for the players. Deep tire tracks were found meandering throughout the grass by the team's head coach Travis McCorkle.
"It's the second time this has happened on a campus field," McCorkle said. The men's soccer practice field was vandalized about a month ago.
According to an intelligence report by campus police there are no definite suspects.
"We are trying to keep a close patrol of it now," said ENMU Police Chief Ray Chambers. McCorkle also said he would take random nights to keep a lookout for perpetrators.
Ruts gouged into the playing field by vehicles cause the most harm for athletics, according to Chambers. Both the college and city use the area for sports, including youth football and soccer.
The imperfections in the grass could easily injure a player, said McCorkle. He said it hurts the athlete, the integrity of the team and affects recruiting.
Besides a loss to the team, it could cost ENMU up to a $7,500 deduction in compensation per injury, according to McCorkle.
Close to 100 hours are spent planting seeds and filling in holes to make the field safe for the players prior to use. Now the field is unsafe, he said.
"We can hopefully try and stop this," McCorkle said.
Chambers advises people who know anything about the vandalism or see anyone driving on the field to call the campus police department at 562-2392.

PITTSBURGH, PA (February 19, 2009) – Everything is bigger in Texas and now the airplane carrying passengers from Pittsburgh International Airport (www.FlyPittsburgh.com) to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is bigger too! American Airlines has announced it will add MD-80 service from the airport beginning June 12, 2009.
"The Pittsburgh—Dallas/Fort Worth market has proven to be a strong performer for American Airlines, so we're delighted to be able to add some larger jet aircraft on flights to and from our largest hub," said Walter Aue, American's Vice President – Capacity Planning. "Our 140-seat MD80s offer 16 seats in First Class, so that also provides our Pittsburgh customers the opportunity to upgrade to a premium cabin."
"This aircraft upgrade is a tangible means for American Airlines to improve the quality of the flight for our region's business and leisure travelers. Pittsburgh International Airport offers more choice and improved service to top business destinations such as Dallas," said Brad Penrod, Executive Director and CEO of the Allegheny County Airport Authority.
Beginning June 12, American Airlines will have this schedule from PIT to DFW: Four flights leaving daily at 7:20 a.m., 11:50 a.m., and 6:35 p.m.

With local, state and national officials all calling for a reexamination of the decision to remove the historic Pond Eddy Bridge, I am resigning from the PennDOT-sponsored Design Advisory Committee as the designated representative of the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway (UDSB) Advisory Board.
It is the belief of the UDSB Advisory Board that the existing bridge should be retained and brought back to its original design load of 15-18 tons. The UDSB Advisory Board has asked that the Interstate Bridge Commission reopen the study of this bridge, and consider alternative methods of providing access to Pond Eddy, Pennsylvania.
Previous studies did not contain accurate information about alternatives, and never provided a true cost comparison. It is clear that the firm leading the design exercise for PennDOT did not allow bridge restoration to be part of a comprehensive or comparative discussion.
In fact many issues that relate to a new bridge were not allowed as part of the discussion. These include:
• Decrease in clearance between bridge structure and water level. All of the proposed new designs lower the structure relative to the river water level in comparison to the existing bridge.
• Permanent disruption in river flow. Designs that add additional piers increase the possibility of flooding hazards. PennDOT argues that additional piers would enhance the river flow based on its assertion that the existing pier is in the middle of the deepest river channel section, and the new piers would be smaller and on either side. Visual inspection indicates that the existing pier and the river bed would have to be removed in order to assure that the mid-channel is deepest.
• Temporary disruption in river flow #1. PennDOT indicated that bridge replacement construction can only be accomplished by building a "causeway" across the river, so that during the period of construction for the new structure heavy equipment can have the access… A causeway will result in a one- or two-year disruption in the recreational use of the river. This will be devastating to the rafting and fishing industries—and have an adverse effect on migratory and other fish species….
According to a search of the Pike County tax maps (within the last month), it appears that there are only 23 private tax parcels on the Pennsylvania side served by the bridge, not 26 as PennDot claims, although it may be including state land parcels. The combined market value of the 23 parcels is $2,148,013 (or assessed value of $459,960 x 4.67 "common level ratio" to get the market value). Of course, this indicates that the cost of a new bridge will be in the range of five times the market value of the properties that it serves.
The existing bridge already allows access of vehicles up to seven tons. This historic structure should be brought back to its original capacity [approximately 15 to 18 tons] which will then allow crossings by emergency vehicles….
If there is an additional need for trucks of greater tonnage, then Pennsylvania should extend one of three existing roads that reach close to Pond Eddy. Parkers Glen Road comes within 1.8 miles and is roughed out the remaining distance [it can be seen on Google Earth]. Fire Tower Road comes from Route 6 to within .8 miles, but it would need to cross over the hill to Pond Eddy. A third road comes up from Matamoras through Mil Rift. There is also a railroad running through Pond Eddy, capable of carrying huge loads, on the chance someone actually wanted to construct a new house….
Essentially, if Pennsylvania believes that this community should receive services that everyone in the Commonwealth is entitled to—then it should provide them. PA should not destroy a nationally recognized bridge, threaten the Delaware River and ask the citizens of New York to pay half the cost.
[The above has been edited down with the permission of the author from his letter of resignation from the Pond Eddy Design Advisory Committee to the NYS and PA Departments of Transportation. Pontier represented the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway (UDSB), and this is a personal resignation. Carol Roig of the Town of Highland will replace him representing the UDSB.

An Immigrant's Perspective
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Eulalia "Lala" Mooney, who spoke at a recent Tea Party meeting. Lala, as she likes to be called, fled Castro's Cuba as a 21-year-old college student in 1961. She has a story to tell.
In 1961, Eulalia Suarez was a student attending Villanova University in Havana, Cuba, where her father was a professor of engineering. While life in communist Cuba wasn't exactly a bed of roses, she, her parents, and 13 siblings managed to live fairly well on her father's university salary.
Two years earlier, the dictator, Fidel Castro, overthrew the dictator, Fulgencio Batista, and that, Eulalia says, was when things started falling apart. Castro, the USSR's puppet, stripped the country of everything American. He nationalized private industry and implemented Socialist reforms. Life got harder but was still bearable.
That all ended on April 17, the day of the Bay of Pigs invasion. Castro immediately imprisoned 120,000 Cuban nationals, including Lala, her father and two siblings. Lala believes this was because of her father's university status and his vocal protests against the Castro regime. After two months of imprisonment, she and her family were released and were able to leave Cuba for America.
In 1999, Lala was able to return to Cuba as a missionary with her church. What she found there sickened her. She describes the Cuba that she returned to as a third world country where people live in abject, government-sponsored poverty. The government controls everything, and nothing works. Its people have been reduced to stealing and prostitution to survive. Many depend on the 2 million Cubans in America who send over money and goods.
Once the world's leading sugar exporter, Cuba now has to have sugar imported from Brazil. Food is rationed to the point that a monthly government ration of food will last an individual about four days.
Lala laughs when she hears left-wing pundits talk about a conservative "War on Women." In Castro's Cuba, where foreigners and party members are the only people with money, women sell themselves and their children to survive. These are not lower class, uneducated women but doctors, engineers and architects. They sell themselves for food, clothing, medicine, fuel for heating – just about anything. Castro would brag about this. He said that prostitution is patriotic and that Cuba has the most educated prostitutes in the world.
In Castro's Cuba, pretty much every woman has had at least one abortion. The average is eight. They don't call it abortion; they call it "interruption." It's about as common as a young child losing a tooth. Cuba also has one of the highest suicide rates among women in the world. It is one of the few countries where women successfully commit suicide at a higher rate than men.
Cuba's nationalized health care is pathetic. Medicine is extremely scarce. Lala would make up small bags of aspirin to give as gifts. A typical hospital would have one thermometer per patient wing and one blood pressure machine per floor. Doctors would have to go to the black market for medicine and supplies. Payment is usually made in barter.
Lala also speaks of Cuba's war on Christianity. Christians are seen as the enemy. Religious services may not be practiced in public. Funeral processions require written government approval, which is rarely granted. Church bulletins must be inspected and approved by the government.
Lala sees parallels between the Cuba she fled in 1961 and America today. Castro was a smooth talker, too. He was an excellent politician who would create enemies, then nullify the peoples' liberties in order to protect them from these perceived enemies. She sees this happening today with our First and Second amendments. She sees the Administration circumventing the Press, interfering with religious freedoms and attempting to disarm us. She finds this frightening because she knows that America is the final refuge for people seeking freedom from oppression. She speaks to many different organizations sounding the alarm for liberty. Look her up on YouTube. Her story is compelling.
Lala is a naturalized, American citizen who married and raised four children in this country. Her youngest, Alex Mooney, is running for Shelly Capito's congressional seat in the 2nd district. He knows his mother's story. He, too, is worried. He, too, wants to protect the Constitution his mother swore allegiance to many years ago. He's been endorsed by many conservative organizations including the Republican Liberty Conference, CatholicVote.org and the Tea Party Express. He has an A+ rating with the NRA. Check him out at mooneyforcongress.com.

Red Sox?…We Don't Need No Stinkin' Red Sox!…
Ugh, not another Red Sox player!
Don't we already have one of those? I think one is more than enough…
Unless your name is Jason Bay or Jon Lester, I am not interested in seeing you wear pinstripes. It was no fun watching David Wells and David Cone in Boston; conversely I do not need any repeat appearances of Mark Bellhorn or Mike Myers in New York.
Jim McIsaac/Getty Images
Much to my chagrin, the Yankees acquired third baseman Eric Hinske from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hinske was batting .255 in 106 at-bats and had 1 HR and 11 RBI's (hardly earth-shattering numbers). To Hinske's defense, he did hit 20 home runs (with 60 RBI's) for the 2008 American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays but he isn't exactly the "supersub" I was hoping for. He was also a member of the 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox.
Well, I guess sometimes having an ex-Red Sox player is not so bad…
Hinske can play both corner spots, providing relief for both Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira. I recognize the need for backup support at first since Nick Swisher is locked in at right field now that Xavier Nady is out for the season. Hinske can also play right and left field. The Yankees do not have the roster space to call up Shelley Duncan, who would have been limited to 1B/DH duty. With Hinske on board, the Yanks should be able to rest A-Rod more often.
Elsa/Getty Images
To acquire Hinske, the Yankees gave up two minor leaguers, right-hander Casey Erickson and outfielder Eric Fryer. They had acquired Fryer in last year's trade of pitcher Chase Wright to the Milwaukee Brewers.
Due to a flight delay from Pittsburgh, a roster decision might not be made until Wednesday, but Ramiro Pena will be optioned to AAA-Scranton/Wilkes Barre to make room for Hinske. At this point, the move makes sense. Pena needs more playing time, and the Yankees needed some pop off the bench with the loss of Nady.
Hinske must be on one of those AL East circuits like Kevin Millar…don't stop until you've played with every team in the division. He only needs to play for Baltimore to complete the circuit, whereas Millar just has to spend some time in pinstripes. Egads! Please, Brian Cashman, do not let that happen! We do not need any 'Cowboy Up' in the Bronx!
Somewhere in Boston, Julia is probably in hysterics. We acquire a Red Sox "has been" and Boston will most likely pursue a former beloved Yankee like Nick Johnson. It's not fair. One of the days, the tide has to turn. The season has been way too easy on the illustrious Ranter from Boston…
In a move that should signal the Yanks to be cautious with Alex Rodriguez, the Red Sox placed third baseman Mike Lowell on the Disabled List. Lowell had fluid drained from his right hip on Monday, and had received an injection designed to relieve inflammation in the area previously operated on. The Red Sox decided not to take any chances and to give Lowell some added rest so that he'll be ready for the second half of the season. Perhaps Lowell's struggles are another reason that led to Hinske's acquisition. I do wish Mike the best, and hope to see him back in the field shortly after the All-Star Break.
The Yankees also signed another third baseman from the independent leagues. Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks 3B Yurendell DeCaster's contract was purchased by the Yankees, and he was assigned to AAA-Scranton/Wilkes Barre. DeCaster is 29 and was leading the Northern League with 13 HR's and 43 RBI's, while batting .344. Sounds like Cash is still looking to catch lightening in a bottle…
Is there anything more temporary than being a good outfielder in Pittsburgh? The Pirates traded yet another quality outfielder in Nyjer Morgan to the Washington Nationals for OF Lastings Milledge and reliever Joel Hanrahan. The Nats also picked up left hander Sean Burnett. Will Milledge finally realize his potential in Pittsburgh? If so, how long before he is traded? At this rate, he is a future Yankee…
Go Yankees!

Me? Laughing? I am no idea what you are talking about!😉 And really – the "cowboys and idiots" did a great job for us! lol! Okay – I did find it "amusing" when the Yankees signed Hinske today! The Yankees would do well to see how the Red Sox are handling Mikey; they say he isn't hurt but just hurting. All I know is that seeing him back in the lineup will be a good thing. And that player who should not be playing for us? He has two hits so far tonight in the leadoff spot!! I just don't get it!
Hey – I just thought of something – it's your fault! You know – the "Red Sox are Better" shirt? You made Cashman go out and get an ex-Red Sox player! LOL!! Maybe I should see if they have a hat to match for you!😉
Millar needs the Rays to be stamped on his luggage too. 😉 Hinske is a quality role player though.
Red Sox Ramblings: http://thevendahhh.mlblogs.com
Greg is correct…I blew it about Millar and the Rays. In my head, I knew he played for the Marlins before he went to Boston. I did the "Florida" association, and voila! subconciously omitted the Rays. But I have faith, he'll be there next year! LOL! Just so long as he doesn't take a pit stop in the Bronx! I am not sure why Julia has it so easy this baseball season! I want to see her experience the trials and tribulations of a roller coaster season rather than simply floating through the clouds! 😉
You got your wish for one game Scott – happy? And I am SO glad that your favorite bullpen last night was the Red Sox!😉 It's only one game my friend and while you might be a little bit closer, you're still down below looking up! The Red Sox will redeem themselves today and come August you will be wearing even more Red Sox attire! LOL!!!
If he helps us, then I could care less where he played earlier in his career.
Hinske isn't going to turn heads with his statistics but he is one of those guys that really improves a team. His versatility really helps him. He is a good addition to any team.
I don't mind having Hinske to replace Nady, offense wise. He stinks at defense, but I guess he can't do that much damage subbing occasionally for A-Rod along with Cody Ransom. And the teams he's been with lately have won championships (Rays, Red Sox), so maybe he's some kind of odd lucky charm!

Minnesota DNR debuts live eagle cam
The recovery of the bald eagle shows how endangered species laws can work, and now a pair of the iconic birds will be help get more young people and families excited about the outdoors.
Live video from a nesting pair of bald eagles is now featured on the Department of Natural Resources website. A camera was installed above the nest late last year with help from an Xcel Energy crew with a boom truck, and Floyd Security. The nest, in an undisclosed Twin Cities metro area location, already contains three eggs that are expected to hatch sometime in early to mid-February.
The eagle cam was paid for by DNR's Nongame Wildlife Program, which is largely funded by donations, including what's known as the "chickadee check-off" on state income tax forms.

My kids could wallpaper our house, our neighbors, and probably many of yours with their art creations. We spend a lot of time coloring, markering, using colored pencils, tracing, stenciling, sketching…we love to color, I guess! With all of the time we spend creating things…we don't always have the space to display projects, nor do we have the room to store them. I had the chance to get some photos of the kids' artwork and turn them into a memory book at The UPS Store this week, and while we had some bumps in the road in getting our book, now that I know for sure which stores can help me to do this best, I will most definitely be making some more books, with more pages in them and a more specific layout in mind ahead of time.
The idea of this project was to take images on a flash drive or a memory card to my local The UPS Store, but this is where we ran into issues. We headed out first thing in the morning for an appointment, and my thinking was: stop at the store quickly, get my memory card read, get the project in motion, and pick it up after the appointment. That would leave time after school for each of the kids to decorate, embellish, color, and put their personal touch on their brag books, with time to dry, so I could share photos of the process with you all….but once I got to the counter and asked where to begin my plans came to a screeching halt.
The process to create these books is, ultimately, quite simple (unless, of course, you are me, and what should have taken 25 minutes of your day takes over 8 hours…)-
Step 1: Take photos of your child's artwork (or writing, school projects, etc).
Step 2: Load the photos you have taken from Step1 onto a flash drive or memory card
Step 3: Bring flash drive/memory card to local The UPS Store (maybe call first…just in case you have my luck!)
Step 4: Select your paper choice, cover choice and binding choice for your book
Step 5: Get your images uploaded from the memory card / flash drive
Step 6: Be sure your images are in the order you prefer, oriented the way you'd like
Step 7: Create your book
Step 8: Pay and bring home your book
Step 9: Embellish to your heart's content!
Some of The UPS Stores will allow you to create projects like this online
Step 1: Locate The UPS Store nearest to you that allows you to create projects online to pick up in store
Step 2: Create an account/Login to your account
Step 3: Start a new project – Be sure to give it a name!
Step 4: Upload whatever images you want to use, preview if you wish
Step 5: Choose binding, paper, cover material
Step 6: Create project! Send to store
Step 7: Pick up project
Step 8: Embellish to your heart's desire
We are loyal Elmer's glue users in this house. I grew up with Elmer's and its what I know, and trust. We have all kinds of Elmer's products for our crafting needs- both the kids and myself- even my husband uses Elmer's for household projects! I like the washable glue sticks or school glue for the kids, well, for obvious reasons…but lately my personal go-to products to grab for adhesive needs have been the Elmer's dual tip pen (I feel like I can have greater control over where the glue goes) and the adhesive dots/strips in dispensers. Of course Elmer's was what we used to get our embellishments to adhere to the brag book we made- and I'm sure it'll be what we use to embellish future brag books we make.
This is definitely an affordable and fun project to do with your kids, a great way to preserve precious art memories and also a great gift idea!
The UPS Store I was at doesn't have the capability to do the memory card read. No problem, I'll head to the next closest store.
But they don't have the capability there, yet, either.
I decided to call the next closest store before driving over there. I'm glad I did. They aren't able to create from a flash drive nor a memory card yet, either, but could send it out and have it back in a few days. I explained that I didn't have a few days… the woman I spoke with was very friendly and helpful and said if I could email her my images, she could have the book created at the only The UPS Store anywhere close to us and she could drive out herself to pick it up, and be back before their 6:00 close time. I was very impressed with her helpfulness, and set to upload my photos from the new camera onto my computer so I could email them.
Except I had no internet. Do you know those days, when absolutely nothing goes as planned? That was my day. Sigh. When the internet finally came back on a few hours later, I got all of the photos uploaded FINALLY, and emailed them to her.
I called her back to confirm she'd received the images and she said she wasn't able to do it unless I converted my images to a PDF. At this point I wasn't feeling well and I had a feisty toddler on my hip and a schoolbus about to drop off my Kindergartener, and I thanked her for her help and said I would figure something out.
This is when panic kind of set in. What was I to do? I'd already told the kids about the cute books we'd be making of their pictures, and they were both excited about doing some decorations and using their beloved GLUE to get the decorations to stick!! That, and I had a deadline.
I called one more store, a bit further away. Turns out, he CAN read from a flash drive OR a memory card, but I wasn't able to drive out to him in time, so I emailed my images, and promised to be there by 6:30 PM when they closed. He had the book done, which I honestly made one book out of the 2 and will be making some more with the kids in the next few weeks…within an hour.
What a crazy adventure, for a fun craft project to preserve some of the kids' favorite projects!! The price was most definitely right, though- 14 images cost just $6.89 out the door. Given the chance to peruse the options and make some choices in person at the store (which we will be doing again in the upcoming weeks, I think during April vacation), I know we can really have some fun and make these VERY personal keepsakes or even gifts for others!! (My mom would have adored books like this, for her to enjoy the kids' artwork and to see what they had to say and wanted to show her of their art, and being able to look at it when she missed them!!)
This project has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for #collectivebias. Opinions expressed within are my own.

Sheriff's son in gun theft case jailedStaff Report | February 05,2013The son of a member of the Rutland County Sheriff's Department who was charged last month with stealing his father's gun is behind bars after allegedly returning home Friday night with a handful of heroin.
Jaron Wilk, 24, of Clarendon, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of possession and misdemeanor charge of violating the conditions of his release.
Wilk was on release after pleading innocent Jan. 22 in Rutland criminal court to charges of burglary and grand larceny after allegedly robbing his parents' Clarendon home, stealing cash, checks and a .40-caliber Glock semiautomatic firearm belonging to his father, Frank Wilk Jr., a lieutenant with the Rutland County Sheriff's Department.
Jaron Wilk's conditions of release required him to maintain an evening curfew at his parents' home and to not be arrested again. But, according to an affidavit filed with the court, Friday night, police received an anonymous tip that Wilk was not at home, and when police responded to the residence on East Clarendon Road they followed Wilk as he turned into his driveway.
While police questioned Wilk, they watched him throw a small object, which police recovered from a nearby tree and found to be five bags of heroin wrapped in an elastic band, records state.
Judge Nancy Corsones rejected a request from Wilk's attorney for a 24-hour curfew, and instead imposed $15,000 bail.MORE IN This Just InNEWBURY Police said somebody stole booze and change from a Welch Road residence.

NBC's Ayman Mohyeldin reports from war-torn Homs showing how parts of the city have been ravaged by fighting while others have been spared.
HOMS, Syria -- Fighting has ravaged Syria over the past 14 months, as evidenced in parts of the Homs neighborhood of Baba Amr. Nearly destroyed, hollow buildings stand on the side of roads seldom traveled by either cars or people. Once a stronghold of the opposition, the city now sits firmly under the control of the Syrian military.
Ayman Mohyeldin, NBC News
A child rides his bike across the bombed-out main street of Baba Amr. Once the stronghold of the opposition, it's now firmly in the hands of the military and the neighborhood is nearly empty as residents have fled to nearby areas. You can still see the damaged buildings and the mosque along the main street.
A fragile truce brokered by international mediator Kofi Annan has failed to stop the violence, which has killed more than 9,000, according to U.N. figures. It has also caused a refugee crisis in the region.
Ayman Mohyeldin, NBC News
One of Syria's Olympic athletes, Raya, trains at a shooting range ahead of the upcoming Summer Games in London. Some have called on the IOC to ban Syrian athletes from participating in the Games, while others have defended the right of athletes to not be punished for their government's actions.
Just a few hundred yards away from Baba Amr, the neighborhood of Akrema is bustling with activity, as people wander through busy streets and markets. But concern is at an all-time high here, as many people fear a regime change would be dangerous for them.
A roadside bomb exploded in Douma, Syria this weekend near a United Nations convoy carrying the head of a Syria ceasefire monitoring mission and a senior U.N. Official. NBC's Ayman Mohyeldin reports.
Ayman Mohyeldin, NBC News
A U.N. vehicle attempting to enter the opposition-held area of Tel Kelakh was swarmed by government supporters who marked the vehicles with pro-Assad slogans. The U.N. observer mission turned back and did not enter the city.
A resident of Khalidiya shows the wounds he suffered after he was attacked by pro-government thugs, known locally as the as the "Shabeeha" -- which means "Ghosts".

I really see no problem with 14 sets. Major muscle groups I usually do 16-24 and usually around 12 for small muscle groups (arms)
Anything said by exerciseordie is for educational purposes only! PERIOD!!!! Don't do illegal shit.
I do rule of thumb 4x10 for each exercise with a min of 5 different exercises per muscle group.

Ok so I'm doing well.
Exercise selection is more important than number of sets.
Workout A - 5 sets of parallel squats, 5 sets of hamstring curls, and 4 sets of leg extensions.
Workout B - 4 sets of ATG squats, 3 sets of stiff-legged dead lifts, and 3 sets of leg press.
Workout B will give you much better results even though it has 4 less sets. I would focus more on incorporating effective exercises and less on doing some exact number of sets per muscle group.
Never seen 4 sets of 21s......I think you are using to light of weight.
Oh by the way....Negged.
Do as much as it takes or as little sets you can get away with. Some days it takes more. Some days you just won't get there cause of distractions or diet / water consideration, rest, stress...etc
i can usually tell if it's not going well by the second exercise. And i will ditch the whole gd thing and do calfs, abs and rear delts. I can always get pump there. or find a milf to eye molest while in doing some stair master. Sometimes I get on the stair master for like 10-15 mins and i get back in the mode and return to by workout.
I honestly just don't see the point in doing 4 sets of dumbell curls and 4 sets of 21s. Are you just eye fucking yourself in the mirror or what???
Negged again.
Negged, who the fuck does 21s anyway. What a gay exercise...

Ok I will do that soon.
Ive done upwards of 25 sets on certain things. I know that sounds retarded but Stims+mania+Tren is a helluva driving force.
ummm, nowadays i stick to 8-12 sets in my 65-90% range. Warming up and finishing off with 50% range stuff, in the high 20's or even 30 rep range. Variety is the key for me. I get bored as fuck if i dont switch things around now and then.

14 sets of just... different variations of curls is plain idiotic. You should be doing 90% compound exercises if you are natural to help boost testosterone.
This week I start a new plan. I have gone over to bodybuilding.com and chosen a beginner plan. You must follow it for 18 weeks. I am going to do that and see where I am in a few months from now. Should work nicely. I am doing everything I can to become better. I hope you guys respect my interest and passion in this. I have come to the conclusion that I have been doing way too many isolation exercises and need to start focusing on compound exercises if Im going to get the results I want to.
Compound pulling. Do some damn barbell rows. Lat pulldowns. Cable rows. Pull ups. Then do like one or two sets of curls. Hammer curls. Preacher curls. It's really all you need. It ain't rocket science. And you are gonna piss people off if you keep talking about BB.com.
I love high volume training
Not according to jay cutler. He'll do 20 sets
Dorian would slap you, he was a 45min a session guy... And apparently that was legs too lol I would def be dragging a trash can around with me
I do 16 to 20 sets for almost all my body partsbody parts

I'm wondering because two websites that I know of say that deviantART has a type of code that isn't compatible with other websites and sometimes only allows you to see your image once it's posted in a forum, but everyone else will get a red/blue 'x' or question mark where the image should be. So yeah...can you guys see the Pandaren girl I posted one page back?

Staff and wire reports
SANTA FE — Republican lawmakers have asked the state attorney general's office to investigate the Richardson administration's practice of hiring temporary exempt employees.
A March 18 letter from Sen. Kent Cravens, R-Albuquerque, signed by two dozen other GOP lawmakers, said Gov. Bill Richardson's practices have resulted in "numerous unauthorized hirings."
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have raised questions about the hirings. According to a list in late October, more than 55 temporary exempt employees were costing the state more than $3 million annually in salaries. Many of the workers, called Gov-Ex Temp workers, are making annual salaries in the $50,000 to $70,000 range.
A spokeswoman for Attorney General Patricia Madrid said the office had received Cravens' letter, but would not comment further.
A spokesman for the governor, Gilbert Gallegos, said the call for an investigation was political.
"Sadly, these Republican legislators have no ideas, and they resort to cheap political shenanigans in an election year," Gallegos said. "The fact is that the governor is following the same discretionary hiring practices that previous governors, Democrats and Republicans, have used to implement policies and support their initiatives."
At least two local lawmakers said they are concerned by the volume of temporary exempt employees hired by Richardson.
Sen. Stuart Ingle, R-Portales, said Richardson has "probably hired more" temporary exempt employees than any other governor he has served with, although he also added, "in certain cases, they may be needed."
Rep. Anna Crook, R-Clovis, said indiscrimminate hiring in any state office, "is a burden on the taxpayers of New Mexico."
She said anyone hired to work for the state should be well qualified. "People should have qualifications. They shouldn't just be given a job," she said.
Both she and Ingle said they had neither signed nor seen the letter drafted by Cravens.
Former Gov. Gary Johnson, a Republican who preceded Richardson, has said he rarely created temporary exempt jobs.
State policy allows departments to hire temporary exempt employees for no more than three months, with salaries coming from the particular agency's budget. The governor must approve any extension of the jobs, which — unlike permanent positions — are not approved by the Legislature.
Those hired under the practice include former state Rep. Bennie Aragon — uncle of former state Sen. Manny Aragon — as special projects coordinator for the state fairgrounds, Expo New Mexico; Ed Stapleton, husband of House Majority Whip Sheryl Williams Stapleton, D-Albuquerque, as a racing clerk at the state Racing Commission; Randy Romero, brother of former ambassador Ed Romero, with the Labor Department; and Democratic political consultant Harry Pavlides, with Expo New Mexico.
Lawmakers complained earlier this month about jobs created outside the state's normal hiring practices.
Sen. Leonard Lee Rawson, R-Las Cruces, said they're "clearly political appointments," while Sen. Cisco McSorley, D-Albuquerque, said agencies are hiring people who aren't needed in positions that departments didn't ask for in their budgets.

Venue for MIT's baseball and softball teams
Briggs Field dominates much of the
outdoor field space, and has been a haven of recreational activity
since MIT's main campus made the move to Cambridge. A new baseball
facility was constructed in 1949 to support the emerging varsity
team, while currently the fields are primarily used by over 80 club
and intramural programs.
Briggs Field was named in honor of Major Frank Briggs '81. In 1897, when it was found necessary to form an organization to regulate the general athletic interests of Tech students, to exercise supervision, and if necessary, to assume control of all funds connected with athletics, Major Briggs was chosen chairman of the board, thus forming the MIT Athletic Advisory Council.
During the past few years several improvements have been made to Briggs Field that have contributed to an improved quality of play. During the summer of 2006, a new pitching mound was constructed giving the Engineer pitchers one of the best in New England. Additional improvements include a new infield mix, a six-foot chain-link fence equipped with a windscreen, as well as a new scoreboard.

Larry's Bad Day
For the last man in the universe who still religiously employs the use of both suspenders and shoulder pads, the April 21st edition of the New York Post couldn't have been too flattering.
Or could it?
Okay, so according to the Post, Larry's wife (we'll call her Shawn)* allegedly had an affair with his sons' little league coach (we'll call him Hector) but allegedly King — who, by the way, is a rabid Los Angeles Dodgers fan — didn't really care 'cuz he was bonin' Shawn's sister (we'll call her Manny)** on the side.
Got it.
And I must admit, I first heard of this story via that awful fear aggregator also known as The Drudge Report with the headline: "Little League Coach Claims Affair with Larry King's Wife".
At first I was really angry with Drudge (which is quite common) because I found that headline to be recklessly damaging to the institution of little league baseball — an institution that made me the sound, boisterous, STUBBORNLY CORRECT individual I am today. I thought, "Oh, okay, now Drudge is attacking little league. Let me at him!"
Until I read the story… and realized that it was little league baseball that brought them together. It brought them all together in one place, to interact, to make whoopie.
And it was at that exact moment that I realized the bar, the club, the beach might not be the ideal place to meet Ms. Right.
So if you need me, I'll be at a little league ballpark near you hollerin' at the single moms and estranged wives of the rich and famous.
Don't worry, Mrs. Kucinich, I got ya on my radar. Muah!
Hate me 'cuz it's allowed, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
*That's her real name.
**I meant to write "Shannon" but was too lazy to change it.

Whats funny about this is people like Woods and Bryant can say to King… eat sh*t and die cause you're no different than me… but that would be hurtful… okay he's a Dodger fan, isn't he friends with George Michael too… just in case you'll missed here's the answer to the Mad Larry Disease rampant in New York… from the 'Ugly Americans Show'
Peter, thanks for the tip. I hadn't seen that so consider your duties fulfilled for the day. Right on!
That's what you call playing the field.
Hey Whatever. All is fair in Love and War.
Larry the CryptKeeper King should be happy anyone is even willng to come 10 feet near all that loose skin. I don't think Larry could score in a woman's prison with a carton of cigarettes under his arm. But that's me.
As a Little League coach, this is not surprising. I was once told 'the key to the draft is selecting the kids with the hottest moms'. Nice.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Mike (BTB) — I am willing to agree with you on that. 100%. Lovely image too😉
Mike (MiB) — Great advice! I want to coach a team now. I know everything I need to know.
I'm not sure which is more disturbing, the idea of Larry King having sex, or the photo of Manny that you linked to. At least it's shoved aside an equally unpleasant mental image of A-Rod that got stuck in my head this morning.
I never thought of the Little League games as a field of dreams for other pursuits until the Shawn and Hector thing. LOL.
Sue — I think the Larry King reference is more disturbing…though not by much. Were you thinking about A-Rod and centaurs this morning? LOL.
Jane — I know. It's like waking up to find a whole new world just waiting for you to enter it! I'm in!
After I heard the news of Larry's 7th(?) divorce, I said "no wonder I didn't see his wife with him on Opening Day.
Lot's of little league teams could use your help Jeff. Just not sure what kind of action you will find there but…you never know where the future Mrs Jeff is.
Check this picture of Larry King (without makeup). It is from last year during Spring Training. He was nice to pose for a picture and he signed my baseball. http://crzblue.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/03/meanwhile_back_at_the_ranch_pa_1.html
Emma — Seven!?!? Wow. What's stopping him from hooking up with Elizabeth Taylor? Haha.
i adore Larry King but how can one man go through THAT many divorces! Goodness.. there must be something seriously wrong with his love life….. i love CNN & his show I watch it every day😛
i love larry king but not his personal life lol! How can one person go through that many divorces? Talk about ruining the sanctity of marriage. I love CNN and watch his show all the time though

Xindi-Insectoids were members of the multi-species Xindi race.
Physiology Edit
The Insectoids, like all Xindi species, had distinctive ridges on their cheeks. They were, as their name suggests, insect-like in appearance. Their average life expectancy was estimated to be twelve years. It was easy to find, on their ships, individuals about ten years old, who were probably considered "elders."
They were genderless and reproduced asexually. Also, because of their insectoid nature and the shortness of their life span, they were strongly concerned over the survival of their offspring. They protected their young by making a hatchery brig attached to their ships and shielded it in case of danger, even at the expense of the ship's life support system. Each individual was able to produce large clusters of eggs.
The eggs could not survive out of the ship and were equipped with a gland capable of producing a powerful and subtle neurotoxin. If an unexpected presence was detected in the vicinity of the eggs, the clusters would spray the substance on the intruder, causing (in the latter) an instinctive, obsessive interest in protecting and nurturing the hatchling. (ENT: "Hatchery")
Language Edit
The Insectoid language was a clicking dialog that was the most unusual and complex of all Xindi, save that of the Aquatics. In fact, there were 67 dialects of the Insectoid language. Insectoid had names that grew longer and more difficult to pronounce as they grew older. (ENT: "The Council")
Philosophy and external affairs Edit
Insectoids interpreted raised voices as a sign of hostility. They were quick to make decisions and were often in alliance with the Reptilians. Both species used to trade their technology between each other and usually agreed on all decisions. (ENT: "The Council")

Background Edit
Physical design Edit
The notion of there being an insect-like race of Xindi was devised by Executive Producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, who also decided that the Insectoids, in common with the Xindi-Aquatics, would be created with CGI. (Star Trek: Communicator issue 149, p. 50) This choice having been made, the process of designing the Insectoids began with sketches done by Visual Effects Producer Dan Curry. ("Visual Effects Magic", ENT Season 4 DVD special features; wbm) He stated, "My first thoughts were they would have six appendages like insects on Earth, but Rick felt that they evolved to a higher life-form. So the middle two became vestigial and actually went away, but I kept a lot of insect attributes like the compound eyes and breathing tubes through the side. So the creature we have now is basically inspired by a variety of different insect species that I put together–the head's kind of fly-like, with a little ant-ness." One requirement was that the Xindi-Insectoid seem visually compatible with the other Xindi, so the design for the Xindi-Reptilians proved to be a significant influence. Noted Curry, "The scaling pattern on the head of the insectoid is not dissimilar." (Star Trek: Communicator issue 149, p. 51)
Having designed the Xindi-Insectoids to be incapable of sitting on a regular chair, Dan Curry designed a special type of chair for the Insectoid ambassadors. He additionally designed the weapon and armor with which the Insectoid warriors were equipped, whereas the medieval robes worn by the latter style of Insectoids were designed by Bob Blackman, who usually designed costumes for live-action usage. "Since he designed all the other Xindi garments," said Curry, "I felt it was best if Bob gave us some direction." (Star Trek: Communicator issue 149, pp. 50 & 51) Production illustrator John Eaves exclaimed, "I so loved the costumes that Bob Blackman came up with for these nasty space demons!!!" [1]
Dan Curry's concept artwork was subsequently provided to Eden FX, who were tasked with building the CGI model for the Insectoids. Recalling the illustrations, one of Eden's CG artists, Digital Effects Supervisor John Teska, stated, "That was a sketch of the character, and a couple of revisions for the head close-up and things like that. I had a pretty good idea of what they looked like before we started building." ("Visual Effects Magic", ENT Season 4 DVD special features) The designs for the Insectoid chair and clothing impressed Teska, who related, "When I got that [sketch], I realized, 'OK, they are taking these guys seriously! They've got wardrobe, they've got chairs!'" (Star Trek: Communicator issue 149, p. 51)
John Teska created the digital model for the Insectoids. ("Visual Effects Magic", ENT Season 4 DVD special features; wbm) He recalled, "I dug out all my insect reference–great books with scanning electron micro-photography–where I got a lot of the ideas for the smaller details, like little hairs around the eyes, the things that didn't show up in the pencil sketches." (Star Trek: Communicator issue 149, p. 50) Teska elaborated, "It was several weeks of first working up the geometry, building this basic polygonal, you know, polygon cage, sort of like low [resolution] at first, just to work out proportions and what they looked like. Then, building this elaborate skeleton that would basically allow us to move them like a character, like a puppet on the screen." ("Visual Effects Magic", ENT Season 4 DVD special features) Teska also animated the Insectoids. Robert Bonchune, effects supervisor at Eden FX, commented, "The Xindi insects are kind of his baby, so when they come along we usually give them to him, 90 per cent of the time, at least on the shows I supervise." (Star Trek Magazine issue 118, p. 30) In addition, Teska digitally modeled a version of the Insectoid chair. "We got a sample from the real chair," he reflected, "and I matched the wood grain, and everything; we actually had the prop chair here for a day." (Star Trek: Communicator issue 149, p. 51)
Use of stand-ins Edit
Unlike with the Xindi-Aquatics, stand-ins were used for the Xindi-Insectoids, to give the directors and animators references for CGI placement. wbm The decision to use this procedure was inspired by the success of the CG character Gollum from The Lord of the Rings films, he having commonly been "played" by actor Andy Serkis. "I decided, I want to go into this with the same idea," explained Visual Effects Supervisor Ronald B. Moore.
The stand-ins wore special suits, which helped to track their movements for such episodes as the season 3 premiere "The Xindi" – the only episode wherein Moore used motion-control because the production staffers wanted to digitally replicate even the minutest actions of the performers. "So, Dan [Curry] came up [...] as only Dan can do, with roles of tape and started putting grids all over these guys," Moore continued. "We got black suits made for them. And put the grids on, so we could follow them [....] [We] didn't exactly know what we were up against, with these guys." ("Visual Effects Magic", ENT Season 4 DVD special features) The suits even had thin replication claws, attached to both sleeves. "The stand-ins [were] just on regular boxes, though; they don't have a butt like that [of the Insectoids]!" exclaimed Dan Curry. (Star Trek: Communicator issue 149, p. 51)
The stand-ins who "played" the role of the Insectoids were Evan English and Tarik Ergin. ("Visual Effects Magic", ENT Season 4 DVD special features) Dan Curry remembered, "Ron Moore [...] was very strong in using the stand-ins for performance; that way they could read dialog and participate in the scene, so the other actors knew where to look." (Star Trek: Communicator issue 149, p. 51)
The use of stand-ins also helped in post-production. Stated Dan Curry, "The CG animator got a reference of what their performance was like – how light would affect them. That way, the editors also had something to cut in." (Star Trek: Communicator issue 149, p. 51) As it turned out, the animators did so well at replacing the stand-ins with the CGI that it was evident motion-control was not required. Moore was impressed with the use of stand-ins. Although aware that the actors were intentionally playing different characters, he believed that viewers can also see behavioral differences in the roles. ("Visual Effects Magic", ENT Season 4 DVD special features) Dan Curry was also pleased with how life-like the Insectoids ultimately became, pointing out, "The Insectoids are effectively there, they interact." (Star Trek: Communicator issue 149, p. 50)

My LO is 4 months old, and I've been back to work and pumping away for 2 months now. I get 3 15 minute sessions per day. I am doing compressions during pumping. For the first 5,6 weeks, we were very well matched--whatever he went through would be the volume that I brought home that day, or I'd even produce a little more. But for the last 2 or 3 weeks, he's been catching up to me! My freezer stash is just about gone. It now seems that he needs 3 more oz ever day than what I've been providing.
Last week I did do one 3 am pumping when I was going to be away from him for 14 hours the next day(and he would've gone hungry). Today, I did pump on the way to work, but just managed to pump the usual total volume for the day. (Just pumped less in that first session)
Should I try doing the "on the way to work" pumping session every day? If so, how long before I may see an increase in my total daily volume? I am eating a bowl of oatmeal everyday. I also made the lactation bars-yum.
If it may take just a few days to catch up, that's fine. I don't want to introduce fenugreek, or teas and up the supply too much. I battled with OALD in the beginning, and it still causes issues sometimes.

The Wayne Conservation District (WCD) board of directors learned at its meeting on November 9 that a new Pennsylvania manure management manual has been issued and is now in effect since its publication in the PA Bulletin on October 29. Those who handle animal manure must complete plans based on the new manual.
Peter Tarby, DEP Water Management and Chesapeake Bay Program nutrient management specialist, who provided the information, stressed that the focus right now is on education and outreach to those who will need to complete plans. "We're not out to go after anybody," Tarby said. DEP is encouraging conservation districts statewide to be proactive and develop Agricultural Compliance Policies to inform agricultural operations of their obligations under Chapter 91.36 (manure management planning).
Concerns that the new manual may alarm the farming community were raised during the meeting.
Wayne County Commissioner Brian Smith worried that the process could seem overwhelming at first, and urged WCD staff to offer training and assistance. "The sooner the better, before there's a fear factor that spreads through the farm community and everybody's agitated," said Smith. "We need to let them know that the district can offer assistance in writing new plans."
WCD staff responded that they are planning educational sessions for farmers, stables, commercial operations and hobby farmers with just a few animals. Special outreach will target the needs of the horse community. The sessions are expected to occur in December (contact WCD at 570/253-0930 for more information).
In Pennsylvania, statewide regulations require that any person who handles animal manure must have a manure management plan. People who own animals addressed in the manual—such as chickens, hogs, cows and horses—must complete a current plan using the new manual and its workbook. Those who own animals not addressed in the manual, such as sheep and goats, can use the book's values in preparing their plans.
The new manual is designed to be user-friendly and contains a sample plan that farmers can follow and complete by themselves. Broken into seven sections, it focuses on basic farm information, manure application rates and timing, record-keeping, mapping, manure storage structures, pasture management and more.
Materials will be available through WCD offices, and are now available online at www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=554281&mode=2 [2].
Shane Kleiner, DEP Conservation District Field Representative, also noted that the agency is now accepting applications for environmental education grants to be released in 2012. Schools, colleges, universities, county conservation districts, non-profit organizations, municipalities and businesses are eligible to apply for the grants, which provide a maximum of $7,500 per applicant. The grants provide funding to create or develop projects that support a variety of environmental topics including watershed management, water conservation, acid mine drainage, alternative energy, air quality, brownfields redevelopment and Chesapeake Bay restoration.
Applications are available online at www.dep.state.pa.us [3] by clicking on Environmental Education, then Grants, or by contacting the Environmental Education and Information Center at 717/772-1828. The submission deadline is December 16.
Kleiner also reported that anyone needing emergency permits for doing work within streams or on streambanks due to damage from the recent flooding, should contact DEP's Andrew Augustine at 570/830-3101 for assistance.

Often hedgerows are made up of a single type of shrub like privet or yew. An edible hedge row has a mix of plants that produce edible fruits and nuts. An edible hedgerow can offer flowers, edible fruits and nuts, and fall color. Edible hedge rows can be used as a privacy screen or as a border between different parts of the yard. Decide how tall you want your hedge to be before choosing what plants to include. You might have a mix of shrubs and small trees or just a row of mixed shrubs.
Serviceberry or Juneberry, beach plum, and viburnums will grow as small trees or tall shrubs. Serviceberry is one of the first trees to flower in spring and its delicious small dark blue fruits ripen in June. Eat them right off the tree or use them as a substitute for blueberries. Beach plums ripen in mid-summer and you can eat them raw or use them to make jam. Several native viburnums offer edible fruits including nannyberry or wild raisin, and highbush cranberry. Viburnums have three-season interest with their spring clusters of white flowers, colorful fruits and great fall color.
Chokeberries, blueberries, elderberries and hazelnuts grow as medium height shrubs. Chokeberries may not sound appetizing, but cooked with sugar they make a tasty jam full of antioxidants. You can find red and black chokeberries. Both have white flowers in spring and the leaves turn red in fall. Everyone loves blueberries and the shrubs have a neat appearance. They do require acidic, well-drained soils and plenty of moisture. You can help these shrubs get the moisture they need by planting them in Miracle-Gro® Moisture Control™ Garden Soil. Elderberries grow as a loose shrub with big masses of flowers and small dark purple fruits. Both elderberry fruits and flowers are edible once cooked. Hazelnuts ripen in fall and provide delicious nuts that can be used in a wide range of dishes.
Allegheny blackberries and black raspberries are native to the mid-Atlantic region. They can be incorporated into a hedge, but will need more maintenance. Some canes will die each year and will need to be removed to keep the hedge looking neat. Blackberries and raspberries can also be grown on a trellis to make harvesting the fruit easier.
