Nicolas BarrMember
I am helping a friend move out to Denver in a couple weeks and was hoping to bring my gear with and get 2 nights in on the mountains. I have never been backpacking in Colorado earlier than May and realize there is still a lot of snow in April. I would appreciate any ideas, maybe lower elevations? I was hoping to stay within a couple hours' drive from Denver.

I really would be suspect about planning any backpacking trip in early April in the mountains. You are just asking for miserable postholing. Lost Creek Wilderness is better in early May for the Goose Creek loop. Even then you will likely be hiking through significant snow in spots. Here is another thread about Lost Creek conditions specifically http://www.14ers.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=42674&p=520512#p520512Mar 20, 2014 at 4:17 am #2084495

What they all said.
I'm still skiing up in the high country at that time.
You are going to have to look lower.
Not extreme backcountry by any means, but Golden Gate Canyon state park is (generally) 9k ft or lower and is a possibility not far from Denver. There are "backcountry" campsites you can use. With the early season wildflowers that may be poking out, could be pretty. It is where I hike in mid-April or so until summer at times (and late Fall. It is also where my wife and I married. :)
Even there, the higher elevation areas in the shade may have some patches of snow. Should be doable, though.
Other possibilities are the first sections of the Colorado Trail. But, quite frankly, that is mainly mellow MTBikng terrain. While pleasant, I think Golden Gate is more interesting.Mar 20, 2014 at 6:39 am #2084520

Here's another possibility for an overnighter in early April. It's just outside Canon City which is two hours south of Denver.Mar 21, 2014 at 8:33 pm #2085094
Nicolas BarrMember
Thanks for the help, and great suggestions. I have some research to do; leaning toward Lost Creek Wilderness. How is the north east portion nearer to Bailey? Is the snow likely to be to soft/melted for snowshoes? Is the heavier snow more avoidable by going off trail?Mar 22, 2014 at 7:35 pm #2085299

@rlnunixLocale: Rockies
Normally it would be too early for LCW. But in spite of ski resorts on the west side of the divide getting record snowfall, we've had a horrible snow year on the east side. I live about 10 miles from LCW and 5 miles north of the CT. We're currently at 53% of average snow fall for the season with maybe 6 weeks to go. April is our snowiest month here but March is still short of normal so who knows what will happen. If you are willing to bring snowshoes as well as your regular hiking footwear, I'd say go for it. Just keep an eye on the weather as it gets closer to your trip. As Pmags said, the first part of the CT isn't really that scenic (a lot better than the view from my desk however) but a pretty good bet for early in the year.Mar 27, 2014 at 2:53 pm #2086774

I live in the burbs of Denver and I am jonesing for the snow to go away. I like to start up high and go higher. I guess I'll have to settle with something in the 8k range until June.

Story Behind this Recipe
I wanted to make Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki using okara and cooking in a frying pan, but it didn't turn out well, as I wasn't used to making it. (I burnt the okonomiyaki while adding the ingredients on top, and had trouble flipping it.) So, I made the recipe easier by using a microwave.

Junior 17ers drop a pair in Salina
The American Legion Manhattan Manko junior 17ers opened Salina's 23rd Annual Kansas Grand Slam Wood Bat Tournament Thursday with a pair of losses.
Manhattan suffered a close defeat early in the day against the Topeka Gorillas, 8-7, and lost again Thursday night to the Topeka Scrappers, 12-5.
The loss to the Scrappers got away from Manhattan late. Topeka scored seven runs in the top of the seventh. Before that, it was just a 5-2 advantage for the Scrappers.
"We played very well for a majority of the innings today," 17ers coach Dan Rumsey said. "We got some quality starts from Jeremy Broadwater and Isaac Leon again today, but we couldn't execute in key situations to get them their W's."
Broadwater started Game 1 on the mound for the 17ers and pitched five innings — giving up five runs to go with four strikeouts. Eric Prockish tossed the final two innings.
Offensively, Broadwater led the day there, too. He totaled three hits and three RBIs, while Leon and Ian Hart also drove in runs.
Leon earned the start against the Scrappers, tossing six innings — surrendered five runs with four strikeouts.
Offensively, Broadwater led the 17ers again with a three-run double.
"I was very proud of the way the offense executed their sacrifice bunts to near perfection today," Rumsey said. "I told them going into the weekend that this would be a very important aspect of our offensive strategy during this tournament."
The losses drop the 17ers to 6-14 this summer, but Rumsey isn't letting the sour record deflate his team.
"We still haven't played a complete seven innings at our highest level, and that has been what has kept is from winning the tight ball games," he said. "Our record does not reflect the talent we have on this team, and we are continuously working to play better and better in preparation for the (upcoming) Legion Zone tournament (at the end of the summer)."
The 17ers were set to play again Friday at 1:30 against the Salina Eagles at Dean-Evans Stadium.

Item Description...
The Actual Proof of My Existence Signed: God of the Bible is a book showing the proof of God's existence through undeniable but simple number patterns in the Bible. Reading the historical and scientifically correct Psalms will be enough to convince anyone that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. More than eighteen Psalms contain information about specific past events from history (1900 to 2003). In each case, the Psalm number is the year of the event; even the years of future events (2003 to 2050) are explored. More than twenty-three Psalms contain scientific "key words" with power numbers matching the numbers of the Psalms. One example is Psalm 27:1: "The Lord is my light"; 1027 power is a photon of light in science. The mathematical odds of these matching Psalms are greater than 1038 power (38 zeroes) to 1 that this would happen by random accident or chance. The Ark of the Covenant is explored and found to have numbers matching anti-gravity from the chemical element table. The Tabernacle of Moses can be proven to be a model of the universe and space-time dimensions, equaling science numbers just recently discovered. The book examines about six hundred key Scriptures showing that the verse numbers equal either the scientific or biblical content of the verses. Many more subjects are numerically explored in the Bible. The book guarantees to show in a simple way using "pattern and number matching" that the Bible is the inspired Word of God beyond any shadow of a doubt!

A few butchers and good supermarkets are now selling pork cheeks. They're a great cut of pure meat and they have natural marbling, so the meat stays moist during slow cooking.
500-600g pork cheeks, cut into 4-5cm chunks or left whole
60g butter
2 medium onions, peeled, halved and finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
50g flour, plus some for dusting
500ml perry
700ml chicken stock
Season and lightly flour the pork cheeks. Heat a frying pan with a tablespoon or so of vegetable oil and fry the cheeks on a high heat for a few minutes, browning them on all sides then drain on some kitchen paper.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a heavy-based saucepan and gently cook the onion for 2-3 minutes until soft, add the flour and cook on a low heat for a minute, then gradually add the perry and stock to avoid lumps forming; bring to the boil, add the pork cheeks, season and simmer gently for about 1-1 hours or until the cheeks are tender.
The sauce should have reduced and thickened by now; if not, remove the cheeks and simmer the sauce until it's thickened, then return the cheeks and serve in a warmed sharing dish or individual plates.

WOKY vs. WRIT rumble, with rare video
I've received a ton of responses from readers who were alive during the push-button car transistor radio days, talking about which Top 40 gang they belonged to in the WOKY vs. WRIT rumble.
I was more Beatles than Stones guy and was a WOKY listener, but fooled around with WRIT and flirted with WLS and WCFL. I remember coming home on the bus from Pius XI with the transistor glued to my ear. Everything changed, for me, with FM rock radio.
Readers remembered WOKY as being more conservative and repetitive and WRIT being edgier, like the Stones. People also had fond memories of Jack Lee, "the number one duke of dilemma" Eddie Doucette, Gene Johnson, Lee Rothman, Tex Meyer, Robb Edwards, Bob White, Paul Christy, Bob Collins and paper-clip collecting Tony Carr.
And while exploring all this on the web, came across this fascinating clip of Bob Barry.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - June 28, 1996, New Braunfels, Texas I Herald-Zeitung J Friday, June 28,1996 O 3 A outofbed By ANWAR FARUQI Associated Press Writer DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia (AP)— American troops at a base in eastern Saudi Arabia devastated by a terrorist attack earlier this week were jolted from their beds today by a bomb threat that turned out to be a hoax. "We had a bomb threat. It was a phone call. We went on alert for about an hour and 45 minutes," Senior Airman Paul Gritton said "Then we found everything to be clear." He said U.S. Air Force personnel and allied British and French troops bunking in the compound were put on alert after the anonymous caller clanned there would be another explosion at the base, where a truck bombing Tuesday night killed 19 people, all of them Americans. The remains of the 19 Americans were flown Thursday to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to be honored at a private ceremony with a 21-gun salute. The United States says 270 Americans were injured in the blast Saudi Arabia says more than 200 Saudi Arabian and Bangladeshi citizens were also injured. Meanwhile, two U.S. Air Force transport planes arrived in southwest Germany today with 43 Air Force personnel suffering from bums and broken bones from Tuesday's Mast said Army Maj. Bruce Shearer. They were taken to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and all listed in stable condition. Gritton, of Portage, Ind., said the call was made to the U.S Air Force Public Affairs Office at 4:45 a.m. today (9:45 p.m. EDT Thursday). Officers ordered troops to take cover in the centers of their buildings. Gritton would not say exactly what the caller said or in which language bespoke. "The only information we have been cleared to give is that there was a bomb threat," Capt. Scott Vadnain later said. "We won't be giving out any more information about this. It will just become part of the investigation," said Vadnain, of Papillon, Neb. Hours after warning, American military personnel at the base said they 'I got up and didnt know what was —■ because I irwniiw ■ —Airman 1st Class Patricia Goldman still did not know the reason for the pre-dawn alarm. Airman 1st Class Patricia Goldman said she was asleep when she heard through the alarm system orders to "Get out. Get out." "I got up and I started screaming because I didn't know what was happening," said Goldman, of Princeton, NJ. The troops were told "to congregate in the centers of the buildings ... to take cover," she said. "It was really scary, and I was just hoping it wouldn't be another bomb." In case of a bomb located outside a building, die safest location is die center of the structure, away from exterior walls. "The problem out here is that there are no shelters, no place to hide or take coyer," Goldman said. "The scariest part is not knowing what's happening. They haven't told us what this morning was all about." Goldman said she had suffered minor cuts on her legs in Tuesday's bombing. Saudi Arabia, a close American ally, has said little about the attack but posted a $2.7 million reward for information leading to die arrests of suspects. President Clinton, has vowed to bring to justice those responsible for the second lethal bombing of a U.S. military target in Saudi Arabia in seven months. Suspicion has focused on violent Muslim militants opposed to the presence of 5,000 U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia — but no proof has yet turned up. Today's alert came as FBI investigators sent by President Clinton continued to search for clues into the truck bombing, which also wounded hundreds. "The FBI people were out all night at the site, working when it's cooler," said Gritton. "They're going to be out there again today." On Thursday, sweating FBI agents working in 100-degree heat plowed through mounds of concrete and twisted metal as front-end loaders continued to remove debris in an around-the-clock operation. The bombing wrecked an eight-sto-ry building inside die complex, which houses up to 2,000 American military personnel and an unknown number of British and French troops. The allied forces have a sizable presence in Dhahran to keep an eye on Iraq. They have been here since tire 1991 Gulf war that liberated Kuwait from Iraqi occupation.

Sen. Dennis DeConcini, D-Ariz., at that time the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, lent his own security director to analyze the White House operation in the spring and summer of 1994 and to caution about the handling of classified information. "I think this issue needs to be put to rest and the best way to accomplish this is to ensure that the White House has safeguards in place to prevent a breach of security," DeConcini wrote then-Deputy White House Chief of Staff Phil Lader in March 1994. Within three months, documents obtained by The Associated Press show, DeConcini's staff had wrapped up a frank analysis of White House security matters and sent a letter with four recommendations directly to President Clinton. .....I Court not as conservative as some had hoped WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court, completing its 10th term under Chief Justice William H.

There can be no question that the highest court's pronouncements on religion, crime, the death penalty, affirmative action and abortion have become more conservative.

Dote bucks away form comment on tobacco WASHINGTON (AP) — Hoping to make the tobacco issue go away, Bob Dole told one of his sharpest critics that he's no medical expert when he declares that smoking is not necessarily addictive. But Dole still insists that from his personal observations, tobacco may or may not be addictive. That's what got Dole in trouble with Dr. C.

Salon published an interesting pair of articles on comedy trailblazers. The first, uses the recent Lenny Bruce box set Let The Buyer Beware as an impetus to find ten comics today who not so much carry Bruce's torch but use it to set fire to everything wrong on this planet. Just like Bruce would. Number one turns out to be Howard Stern, which by admission of the author seems a little off. His main rationale for selecting the "King of All Media" isn't so much funny as Stern's current fight with the FCC and Clear Channel. With Rick Shapiro, who's perhaps more infamous for his flameouts than his act, being second, it's a very Passion-of-the-Christ-kind of way of looking at Bruce's work. If you're a comedy nerd, don't celebrate how Lenny died, celebrate how Lenny slayed audiences.
The second article talks about a young devout Muslim female comic named Shazia Mirza. Though she can be incredibly fearless (her 9/11 bit: "My name is Shazia Mirza—at least that's what it says on my pilot's license"), from what I've heard the rest of her act is pretty tame. Though a 28-year virgin, she'll make the same kind of jokes common to female (and male) comics about how her assets don't seem to attract the opposite sex. Yawn. It's cross-connects my humor wires a little. In another article of Lenny Bruce, Bill Maher says "One generation plants the trees, another gets the shade." Shazia is definitely a tree planter, but I suspect I'm going to enjoy the shade a lot more. But I'll reserve judgment at least until I catch a full live set. Until then, I'm TiVoing the November 12 edition of Comedy Central's World Stands Up, which will feature her. You can preview that set here. And you can find a pre-concerns-about-integrity 60 Minutes story on her here.

Shout Factory just put out a huge six disc set of Lenny Bruce's comedy entitled Let The Buyer Beware. Great for any comedy completists who need to know who created the path stand-ups tread today, whether they know it or not. I admire Shout Factory for making such a (along with my blessed Freaks and Geeks DVDs. Rock!), but I wish they put longer previews of Lenny's tracks on its web page. You see, back in the day, people were actually willing to wait through a long setup. But today, we only get a minute or so to see if we like anything. It would be nice to hear enough so unfamiliar buyers could get a real taste of the man. Still, you get a taste of Lenny's rhythms with this excerpt of "To Is A Preposition; Come Is A Verb." (quicktime audio file)

Louis CK's getting a chance to helm his own sitcom on HBO. Louis' focus is a little different, at least for now. As he describes it, along with the development deal, he's definitely getting a new half-hour comedy special for the network. Which is what he's really looking forward to, as it's "concrete" and his last appearance in an 90's era HBO Young Comedians special "left a lot to be desired." Hard core training coming up for Louie, so expect to see him a club near you.
Hopefully the sitcom will suffer a better fate than "Saint Louie", a pilot for CBS that never made it to air. Though it revolved around a couple and their new baby, it sounded like an antidote for audiences who hate cloying stuff about children. In this Onion interview, Louis CK described his first line in the show as "Honey, this baby sucks." Ah well, another show for the Other Network. (For more of Louis CK's baby stuff, check out this clip from Conan.)

Comic Sharon Houston popped up on The Special Thing Comedy Boards to explain her intentions behind the Fahrenheit: LCS2 video she made. She seems genuinely shocked that it's gotten the attention it has. From her description, the screed wasn't so much a rant against reality TV editing as much as an opportunity to tell a few jokes at LCS's expense. Though this is comedian defense #1 when a joke of yours ends up having more backlash than you expected, she doesn't seem to have any axes to grind. (The host of the video, cringehumor.net does. It revels in exposing flaws in LCS and particularly Dat Phan.) In fact, she's quite willing again to admit her own faults.
She openly embraces producing another video where two version of her act appear, one the NBC-edited version and the other a full version (as I suggested here). She's also refreshingly honest about why her bit did fail, citing "rookie" mistakes like: doing a long difficult-to-edit bit, using material even she was tired of and the perennial nerves. I agree with another point in her posts, if she hadn't said anything negative herself, NBC probably wouldn't have edited her bit to reflect that. It would have just glossed past without being a highlight (or lowlight) at all.

Last Comic Standing 2 is all over. But some comics still have axes to grind about it. Over at cringehumor.net you can watch Fahrenheit LCS2 (third item down), where comic Sharon Houston overlays comments that slam reality TV editing onto show footage. Also included are some unnecessary barbs at two other female comics. What does someone else's age or accent have to do with your act. Particularly when, by your own admission during the show, your set bombed. All of the protesting functions on the conceit that people actually believe LCS is the absolute authority on who's funny or not, when everyone really knows it just a gussied-up game show.
With all the griping about featuring midgets and strippers instead of her, Sharon Houston still does have one good point. She claims the producers' editing took out all the punchlines from her act, which if true, might make her look less funny than she was and, I suppose, affect her career. A far better video would have been to show her act as shown on LCS2 and then show the same set intact from another performance so audiences can judge for themselves about reality TV editing. All the rest of the sniping makes this legitimate complaint sound like sour grapes.

Todd Glass has begun to sell out comedy clubs as a result of the appearances on Last Comic Standing. The Los Angeles Times article refers to how Todd tweaks the stand-up profession too. His act was my favorite in the LCS Wild Card shows with his magician-secret-revealing set-ups. "You know what guys do that's a little cartoonish? Or maybe guys don't do this. I think I might have made it up for my act…" It's a strange kind of meta-comedy that works for me.

Great piece on NPR about Demetri Martin, despite the reference to him as "the voice of generation Y." Though the comparison isn't made in the piece, I've always seen Demetri Martin as kind of a successor to Steven Wright. They both have similar rhythms to their jokes - one-liners that have "a-ha" moments where the sudden perspective shifts are combustible. Of course this was before, I caught his new one-person show "Spiral Bound" in June.
Spiral Bound features a journey of Demetri into his notebook. (You can take kind of a similar journey at Demetri's website.) The show describes the decisions and situations that led Demetri to performing stand-up instead of being a lawyer, and the effects it has on his highly-driven medical student fiancee. It's surprisingly confessional and quite a bit removed from one-liners.
The NPR interview confirms Demetri is kinda undergoing a focus shift in his comedy. He mentions how he feels audiences don't really know much about you if you're just throwing out jokes. And he's right. How much does anyone know about someone like Steven Wright, who seems to cultivate a sense of removal from human behavior (something Demetri never had with his one-liners.) Someone who can write the joke, "I got some pajamas with pockets in them. Which is great because before that I used to have to hold stuff when I slept" has definitely got a very interesting internal life that audiences would love to be brought into.

Chapter11: It begins again…
Bella POV:
"Renesmee, honey can I speak with you for a seconded?"
"Yes! Momma,"
"Honey, we are moving."
"But why momma? I like living here with my aunties and brother."
I smiled at her love for her family. She adored her aunts and brother. I hated that I was taking her away from her other family. But we were getting to much attention, and I would never do anything to cause the Amazon coven harm, they helped me so much. Moving was the only solution.
"Honey, I was thinking, how would you like to go stay with Uncle Jacob…?" Once that name left my mouth, I knew she was on board. "UNCLE JAKE! YEAAAAA!" I laughed at her antics, she loved Jake so much. He was like a father to her, and I loved him for it.
(End Flashback)
Coming back to Forks was unreal. It was almost the same, but with some different people, and others that never left. Jake and the other Quileute members were still there, at First Beach. The wolf pack had grown since I left. But every time I came to visit they had a new edition.
As I set foot on the Quileute land I was surrounded by wolfs the same second. Renesmee jumped off my back and ran to a big russet wolf. I just laughed as they started rolling on the ground. "UNCLE JAKE!" "NESSIE!"
They finally noticed I was there and Jake ran into the woods and sifted in his human form and wrapped his arms around me. I missed my sun so much. He was still the same man that saved me. "Jake, it's so good to see you again!" "Bells, I missed you!" The other wolfs that knew me and Jake changed and joined in on the love fest with a big group hug. "Guys! I love you all, but there is so much of the wet dog smell I can handle at once." I laughed as they all let me go and pouted. "Oh, you big babies!" They laughed and started heading toward First beach.
"Now Jake where is that beautiful wife of yours and my handsome Godson?" Jake had imprinted a year after I left, on a nurse working at the hospital. Angie was beautiful inside and out. She accepted Jake for him and treated me as a sister. She was alive and as young looking as Jake. I had a power that could connect two souls together and live with each other for as longs the other shall live. I had bonded many of the Quileute wolfs and their imprints together. It was one of the reasons I was accepted by the pack as a member.
Angie came out the front door "Did I hear someone call me?" I laughed and ran and hugged her. Ren did the same. "Oh, Bells it's so good to see you again, and my lovely niece as well!" She hugged me and Ren. And I also noticed she was pregnant! I Hugged her again and Jake and congratulated them. I was so happy for Jake. I had broken his heart, but I was glad that he had found someone to love him back.
Then I was attacked by something small from behind. I laughed and flipped him over holding him upside down and tickling him. I laughed as my Godson wiggled and screamed. I put him down and hugged him. "Auntie Bells!" I loved my godson; he was one of the reasons that made me want to live on before Renesmee. William looked exactly like Jake. He was a year older then Renesmee, but since Renesmee started growing at a normal pace, like a human she would soon be the same age as Will. Ren and Will is best friend, I smiled as both of them ran off to play. Jake noticed me staring and said "One day those two are going to get married and then we will be in laws" I slapped his arm. "Hey! They are still babies it's too early to be thinking about marriage!" He laughed and wrapped an arm around my shouldered and said "Just you wait it will happen" I laughed and knew he was right.
We went inside to have dinner and catch up. "So bells how long are you staying?" Jake asked.
"Well um… I was wondering if Ren could stay here with you for a week. I have a council meeting to go to and will be staying with the Denali Coven." Jake and Angie agreed and looked at me like I had three heads for asking. "No prob, Bells I was wondering where you were going to live after that?" I looked at Jake knowing he was asking me to move back to Forks. It's been a while since I have been in the states, but I missed Forks so much. I smiled at him "Jake, do you know any houses on sale in forks?" He jumped up and hugged me. I laughed and pushed him off of me. After they had dinner and Ren and Will were asleep. Angie went right to work finding me a new house. We spent the rest of the night finding possible new homes for Ren and me. Once Angie and Jake went to sleep, I spent the night finding the perfect house from the list. And by morning I found the perfect house. The house was right outside of Forks. It was a mile away from the Cullen's old house, but far away that I would come across it. I got ready that morning and called to realtor to check out the house. The house was little big, for just two people but not too big. It was perfect if I had any guest come over. I made an offer and bought the house. When I got back to Jake's house everyone was just getting up. I decided to give Angie a hand and make everyone breakfast.
"So, its official! We're moving to forks!" Jake and Angie hugged me and Ren jumped up and down with Will. It was good to be home. This Town was my home, with good memoirs, but it also had some painful ones. But I had to get over them soon; it wasn't like I was going to run into the Cullen or anything. I wanted to make my Family happy and if moving back was it then, so be it.
I told Renesmee about me leaving for a week, but she had no problem as long as she was staying with Jake. I trusted them with my life and had no worries about leaving her with them.
I was packed and ready to head out to Alaska, for the century gathering. "We'll see you in a week Bells!" "See you then Jake" "Bye, momma sees you soon!" I hugged everyone and drove off.
But before I left town I drove to the cemetery to visit Charlie's and Sue's grave. Charlie had gotten remarried to Sue Clearwater and had a happy peaceful life, and then he passed away quietly in his sleep after Sue. I couldn't visit him, after becoming a Vampire. But I wrote to him as much as I could. I was glad Charlie lived a happy, peaceful life. I left him fresh flowers on his and Sue grave. And then went to visit my half brothers and his family's grave. I never got a chance to meet him, but I had gotten pictures of him growing up. And I loved him as my brother. Seth and Leah are happy that there mom was able to find love again. I was happy to have them a part of my family even though they already are, my family and pack members. I left and headed to Alaska after that.
Once I got the Denali's house, I was once again attacked by hugs but this time by Vampires. I loved my families. Even though I lost a family, I gained new ones that have stood by my side and loved me.
Sorry about the long absent. It's been a crazy year. But summer is here so, let's hope there will be more updates!

Great Purchase
The quality is great. The sheets are very soft, as is the comforter. The design on the comforter is actually a stitched design which surprised me as I expected a printed design but it is still very soft. We have a cat that gets on the bed occasionally and so far, no snags. Everything is well made and is very nice quality. The picture on the site brings out a little more blue in the comforter than is normally seen but the colors are so beautiful anyway. The comforter length is just fine for our Queen size, when the top of the comforter is pulled to the top of the mattress it hangs down to the dust ruffle. Overall a very good investment for the price. We are very happy with our purchase
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Not as much blue in the comforter but colors are still beautiful
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality is very good.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? it was as decribed

Family seeks justice in Hernandez case
By BRIDGET MURPHY
Associated Press
BOSTON — At least one company yanked an endorsement deal from New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez on Friday as puzzled family members of a friend found slain a mile from Hernandez's home sought answers about how he died.
Police have searched in and around Hernandez's sprawling home in North Attleborough, not far from where the Patriots practice, but a court clerk said that as of Friday afternoon no arrest warrants had been issued in the case. The Bristol County district attorney has not released any information, other than saying the death of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd was being treated as a homicide.
A jogger found Lloyd's body in an industrial park Monday. Family members said Friday that Lloyd had been dating Hernandez's fiancee's sister for about two years. They said the two men were friends who were together the night Lloyd died.
Police in nearby Providence, R.I., said they had assisted Massachusetts state police and North Attleborough police with activity related to the Hernandez investigation at a strip club named Club Desire. It was unclear if they believed Lloyd and Hernandez might have been at the club in the days before Lloyd died. A reporter was escorted out of the club Friday afternoon before she could speak with employees or patrons.
Family members have said Lloyd, 27, was never in trouble.
"I want the person that killed my son to be brought to justice," said Lloyd's mother, Ursula Ward. "That's my first-born child, my only boy child, and they took him away from me. … I wouldn't trade him for all the money in the world. And if money could bring him back I would give this house up to bring my son back. Nothing can bring my son back."
Family members said they had heard from Lloyd's girlfriend but not from Hernandez after Lloyd's death. They are anxiously awaiting an arrest in the case.
"We're just hoping for justice," cousin Marsha Martin said. "We don't want Odin to have died in vain."
Hernandez's attorney Michael Fee has acknowledged media reports about the state police search of Hernandez's home but said he wouldn't have any comment on it.
Attleboro District Court clerk magistrate Mark E. Sturdy said three search warrants were issued in the investigation earlier in the week but have not been returned, meaning they're not public. He said no arrest warrants had been filed in state courts by the time court closed at 4:30 p.m. Friday.
Hernandez was gone from his home for most of the day Friday, including when two state police officers knocked on his door. He returned home with his attorney around 5 p.m.
Patriots spokesman Stacey James has said the team does not anticipate commenting publicly during the police investigation. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was waiting for the legal process to take its course.
CytoSport, a Benicia, Calif.-based company that makes Muscle Milk and other supplements for athletes, said Friday it was ending Hernandez's endorsement contract, effective immediately, because of the investigation.
The Patriots drafted Hernandez out of Florida in 2010. Since then, he has combined with Rob Gronkowski to form one of the top tight end duos in the NFL. He missed 10 games last season with an ankle injury and had shoulder surgery in April but is expected to be ready for training camp. Last summer, the Patriots gave him a five-year contract worth $40 million.
Hernandez said after he was drafted that he had failed a drug test while with the Gators and had been upfront with NFL teams about the issue.
Earlier this week, a man filed a lawsuit in South Florida claiming Hernandez shot him in the face after they argued at a strip club there.
Alexander Bradley's lawsuit accuses Hernandez of negligence, among other things, suggesting that the shooting may have been accidental. Bradley said he lost his right eye and suffers many other lingering effects from the shooting.
A spokeswoman for the Palm Beach County sheriff's office said Friday that investigators would need to speak with Bradley to move forward with a criminal investigation and cannot rely on the claims he made in his lawsuit. The spokeswoman, Teri Barbera, said Bradley repeatedly refused to cooperate in the criminal probe after he was shot in February, telling detectives he didn't know who shot him.
Hernandez's attorney did not respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit.

Am I Wrong to be Me?
You look at me weird, like I'm barely here.
This freak among freaks, no one will draw,
What do you see that drives you away?
You like my eyes and my looks, so why don't you stay?
You say that I'm nice, and fun to be around,
But why don't you see, nor make even a sound?
My pain is real, though the emotions are weak,
You nearly seem shocked every time I do speak.
Yes, I don't feel, not like the rest.
But I still have something, I do try my best.
So what if I don't get stressed and angry like you?
Why must that mean there is more I should do?
There is nothing wrong with subdued emotion,
I much prefer it to drowning in the ocean.
You get overwhelmed and panic about fluff,
You worry and fear, you sweat the small stuff.
While I sit back and let life on by,
I chat is it goes, I often say Hi.
Yet I don't freak out, nor do I cry,
Though if I am honest, I'll admit I do try.
Try to cry? Now why would you do that?
Because I am taught I am wrong to wear my own hat,
That I am wrong not to feel as them all,
That I am not wanted, so instead I sit by the wall.
Though I'm still to conform, to let myself be used.
But I don't mind helping the battered and bruised,
Because they know what it's like to not fit in,
To feel like the world has tossed you to the bin.

What a "safe" way to go.
"AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Slobodan Milosevic, the former Yugoslav leader who orchestrated the Balkan wars of the 1990s and was on trial for war crimes, was found dead in his prison cell near The Hague, the U.N. tribunal said Saturday.
Milosevic, 64, apparently died of natural causes, a tribunal press officer said. He was found dead in his bed at the U.N. detention center."
Safe and Natural, and a completion of the circle.
"His death comes less than a week after the star witness in his trial, former Croatian Serb leader Milan Babic, was found dead in the same prison. Babic, who was serving a 13-year prison sentence, committed suicide. He testified against Milosevic in 2002."
Thus history - of the way it was told is "safe" for now.
UPDATE: Suspicious minds want to know....

I'm always at a loss to see why this place is as popular as it is given the tremendous competition in the local area. Granted the place itself is nice, but beyond that this is an absolutely average restaurant - that applies to the service and the food equally. But if you have really low expectations you might be pleasantly surprised - the people going mad about it and giving it zero are exaggerating.

Cochin Brasserie
A real undiscovered gem. Delicious, inventive food cooked with fresh ingredients, served by pleasant, polite staff in a lovely atmosphere. Don't go here expecting your standard chicken tikka masala experience - this is authentic India food of a very high quality indeed, and at a very reasonable price.
I've eaten here many times and recommend it very highly indeed. This place genuinely is very special.

Oh dear me. Not good at all, I'm afraid. First the good stuff - nice location and the service is attentive and polite. And that's it. On the negative side, I don't remember ever coming across such a pretentious menu in my life. Why elk and not venison? Why does the fish course have to be barracuda? Why does the risotto have chocolate in it? This pretension extends to the rest of the restaurant - even the gents toilet has a trumpet in it, just sitting there on a shelf as if to say yes, that's right, this is the sort of place where there's a trumpet in the toilet - we're just that cool.
On the evidence of the food itself the guy seems to be a decent chef and knows how to cook - both the duck and even the accursed elk were nicely done. But many of the ingredients are clearly just there for show rather than enhancing the taste, and ultimately the culinary experience is unsatisfactory. On top of this they are priced towards the top end of the market with a la carte mains at around £30, which is I'm afraid punching above their weight.
Basically if you find the idea of elk or chocolate-infused risotto exciting then this is the place for you - if you like good food then sorry but you'd be better off trying somewhere else.

Carluccio's (Putney)
A little better than others have indicated - possibly they have got their act together a bit in the last six months. We ate auite late so the place was almost empty - so the very few waiting staff there were able to serve us fairly well. Food wasn't bad at all. The wine (a £13 or so pinot grigio) was also quite nice although it turned up already open which always gets on my nerves a bit. Atmosphere was poor - full of braying yuppies - not sure whether the restaurant can really be blamed for the clientele though!

Thai Square (Putney Bridge)
Great location, reasonable quality food, overly high prices, appalling service. Other reviewers are not exaggerating about the rudeness of the staff - they seemed to me to be annoyed by our very existence. Our request for a window seat was flatly refused (although most window seats then stood empty for the entire time we were there). The food itself was your basic, bog-standard Thai fare at twice the normal price. Not recommended.

The Phoenix
Some rather harsh reviews on here - we eat at the Phoenix regularly and it's a very good restaurant. Food is really excellent - particularly recommend the Dorset oysters and the lasagne with truffles (cooked to a 17th century recipe). Only criticism is that the service does struggle when they are busy; they do tend to err on the side of too few waiting staff, which can be a shame.

The Real Greek (Putney)
Not a good restaurant - food is average at best, but the real killer is the service. As others have mentioned, the waiting staff are pleasant enough but there are just too few of them. Be prepared to be left sitting for massive periods of time! When the food finally turns up you'll be underwhelmed.

Adam Kirby is a man with the heart and physique of a true bodybuilder! He has persevered through some real hard times this past year and has been able to survive a dangerously high fever, coma, and extreme sickness, which made him rapidly lose a huge amount of weight, most of which was hard-earned muscle mass.
Most of us know Adam from the very informative "Getting Cut With Glass" Video series in which Charles Glass trains Adam on camera with host and narrator Bob Cicherillo. Adam was put through skilled and intense workouts by a real trainer of champs, Charles Glass in Gold's Gym, Venice, California.
Adam's Contest History:
- Antigua & Barbuda Nationals 2002 - 2nd place Novice Lightweight
- Pacific USA All Naturals 2006 - 3rd Place Novice Middleweight
- Excalibur Championships 2006 - 8th place Novice Middleweight
- Mr. Venice Beach 2007 - 6th place Novice Middleweight
What Happened?
My name is Adam Kirby and I come from the eastern Caribbean island of Antigua.
I moved here to California over four and half years ago for (the following) two reasons. The first reason was to care for my brother Adrian, who moved here from Florida to look for work as a graphic designer. He is a quadriplegic from the chest down from a surfing accident on December 26th, 1993.
The second reason I wanted to come here was to learn everything I could about training and bodybuilding, and return home to the Caribbean to be the best trainer in the region.
Personal Training Articles:
In order to be the best, I had to seek the best so I sought out none other than Charles Glass. I asked if I could apprentice under him and he agreed; therefore, I have been working with him ever since.
Through the years I have worked with him, where I have had the privilege of training some of the best athletes and bodybuilders in the world. I learned more than I ever could have imagined about bodybuilding. I was always interested in bodybuilding since I was a kid, but my dad would tell me that if you bodybuild and stop all that muscle turns to fat. He told me that all my life, so I never got started when I was younger.

Charles Glass
I was into every sport you could imagine. I did everything but high jump; I could not jump very high. I eventually started training as a Triathlete when I was 14; by the age of 15 I competed in the world championships to represent my country of Antigua and Barbuda. Barbuda is our Sister Island.
The training conditions were miserable, bad roads, and bad equipment, as a 15 year old I just wanted to have fun, so I took up competitive windsurfing. I competed locally and partied locally too. We didn't do drugs, we as Caribbean people just love our rum; therefore I got out of shape.
I did some form of exercise but not consistently, not until I was asked to train for the 2000 Olympics in Australia as a Triathlete. I started training straight away and within 3 months I was doing a mile swim in 17 minutes in very rough water while being beached 3 times by the waves. I could bike ride the 27 miles under 1 hour but my run was suffering - I had injured my knee somewhere along the line.
I was not able to finish the run all the time and my Olympic dreams were cut short, which made me very upset. I went from the Olympic office straight to the gym; my friend Steve always wanted me to be a bodybuilder. I asked him when the next show was he gave me a big smile, and said 6 months, which was the nationals of Antigua; I said lets do it. I came 2nd in the novice class, and from then on I was hooked.
Through the time training with Charles I met my friend and training partner (for two years now) Jerome Ferguson. We work well together, Jerome is a great competitor, but more than that, he is a great person, and he gives his fan base, or as he says it, his "friend base" a lot back, he loves them, and really appreciates every one of them and gives them his time, no matter if he's in the middle of a training session or not.
I have managed to bring my physique from a 149 lb Triathlete to my heaviest 208 lbs, but my 208 lbs was also with 19-20% body fat. Not something I liked at all.
That was before I got to Cali. And before I got to Cali, my bodybuilding and dieting was made up of bad advice and hard training. The bad advice was regarding my diet. I read all the magazine articles and stuff like that.
At one time I was eating 10 solid meals a day, big meals, and drinking 1/2 a gallon of milk a day. Needless to say, I wasn't moving fast anymore, and I didn't like that. So when I came to Cali I studied, listened, and experimented with my diet.
I started to compete in Natural shows out here in Cali; my first show I came 3rd. I was still unsatisfied with my body though. I never wanted to be huge, I always wanted to be very lean and strong. I was always pretty strong naturally; I get that from my dad.
By Summer 2007 I was 185 lbs and about 7% body fat. I was finally looking and feeling like I dreamed I would. I worked my @ss off to get there. No cutting corners, I trained hard, I ate clean all the time, and I got enough sleep. No partying, no drinking, nothing. And I like that discipline. I was even planning to take a trip home for that Christmas.
Dedication, Consistancy & Focus Articles:
In March of 2007, my brother Adrian under went a surgical procedure to rebuild him a new bladder. His old bladder had just been beaten up over the years of having an indwelling catheter all the time, so they built him a new one out of his intestines. This was a pretty extensive surgery that knocked him for 6. He wasn't really fully recovering from it and some complications had come up.
September 9th, 2007 - I tried out for the American Gladiator series. The next day, Monday, I came down with a headache and fever. I didn't think anything of it, it was right on time, and I usually get the flu once every 4-5 years. So I was due for one... I thought. However my fever was 103.8, and with Tylenol it only went down to 101, so I had a feeling that something might be wrong, and then I thought, it's ok, it will go.

I have had a fever before for 6 days, and I never went to the doctor and I was fine. I can beat this; I will just do my usual of loading up on vitamins, food and water. I never missed a meal. Tuesday was the same.
I woke up Wednesday morning and the fever was really kicking my @ss. I got out of bed, went to check on my brother who hadn't been feeling well from the night before. He was in bed also in a heavy sweat. But he wasn't sick, his intestines had become completely blocked, and his stomach was really distended.
I called 911 right away, the ambulance came, and the paramedics came into my house and asked which one of us was the sick one, because I was looking worse than my brother. They decided to take both of us in together. I didn't want to leave my dog alone, but I thought, it's ok, they will check me out and send me home with the flu or something.
So off we went to UCLA Medical Center. My brother was admitted for emergency surgery. I was sent home with what they thought was viral meningitis. The deadly one is bacterial. They gave me Tylenol and sent me home. I do not remember very much after that. I remember hearing that my brother's surgery went well, but I was too weak to go and visit him. I couldn't move, I wasn't getting any better, and I was getting worse, the last straw for me was when I couldn't eat anymore.
The rest I was told, as I can't remember...
That Sunday I called a friend to ask her to take me back in to the hospital. Soon after I got to the hospital, I coded, I could no longer breathe on my own and I was placed on a ventilator. By that night my body was going into shock and slowly shutting down, my kidneys stopped working, then my liver stopped working, my hearts output was at 35%.
I was dying.
The doctors didn't know what was wrong with me apart from my pneumonia, and told my brother who was still upstairs recovering to call the family and prepare for the worst. "Your bother is as sick as you can get and we don't know if he will live." My Father flew out right away.
I was now being kept alive by drugs and machines. How could I be so fit and healthy a week before and now I am in a coma? These are the kind of questions that will come. I was told I fought hard. I wasn't ready to die.
By Monday morning my system was shut down, nothing was working. My doctors were not optimistic at that point. They said it's just a waiting game; we have done all that we can do; now it's up to him.
By early Tuesday morning my body started to respond a little, my blood work was starting to show improvement in my kidney function. Then I started to pee again. I was still in a medicated coma.
By the time my Dad arrived that Friday, the doctors told him that I will make a full recovery, everything seems to be working again, and there will be no long lasting effects on my heart or brain. Everything will recover.
Recovery Articles:
The only thing that they could say that I had for sure was pneumonia. All the other tests that they ran came back negative, they tested me for every virus, every bacteria and fungal infection known to man. They found nothing; it was a mystery that a young healthy person could become so sick - pneumonia, usually only immune suppressed, older people and children get that. Not a healthy young man. They kept running tests and nothing.
I awoke a week and a half later, totally in shock, shaken up and scared out my mind. I had also suffered from really bad nightmares when I was under, I would later find out that I was experiencing ICU psychosis, apparently a common side effect of all the drugs. I really thought I was somewhere else, another hospital in a redneck town in the middle of nowhere, and people where dying all around me, and a man came into the hospital and started shooting everybody, and I couldn't move.
I really thought I was experiencing this. I thought I heard the doctors tell my dad that I was going to die, and then I thought my dad jumped to his death. So when I woke up I was super scared, I didn't ask where I was, how I got there. What happened? Nothing. And when my dad walked into my room, I freaked out. I thought he was dead.
I was a wreck. I thought I had some disease, and I was gonna die, but I was too scared to ask anyone. I didn't know what was going on. I think that was the hardest part of the whole thing for me, the nightmares that I thought were true, even when I woke up. I was in full recovery my dad said. "The doctors say your gonna be fine." I didn't believe him; I thought he was lying to make me feel better. So I just kept quiet. Eventually I became more aware, and I was taken off most of the drugs.
The doctors were on their rounds every morning, and they would keep questioning me, where have you been? Have you traveled anywhere? Have you been around any farm animals? Do you have rats in your house?
They were lost, they were trying to find some mysterious virus or bug that I may have caught somewhere, but nothing, everything kept coming back negative. You are a mystery case they said. I was even more scared now. What if it comes back? What if it happens again? They never came up with anything. And that is where my recovery began.
In two weeks, my body went from a 185 lb lean mean sexy machine... (LOL!) ... to a 150 lb frail broken body that resembled a cancer patient or an AIDS patient.
I was in shock of the person staring back at me in the mirror. I couldn't walk or anything, everything I had worked for had been stripped from me in two short weeks. By the way, I didn't remember 3/4 of my time there, so to me, it's like I went to sleep fit, and woke up in someone else's body. But it wasn't a bad dream, it was true, this is my body now.

I was no longer strong. I got out of the hospital October 1st, 2007. I walked out of the hospital... barely. My Dad was holding me up a little. I looked around, and realized for the first time where I was. I wasn't in some mysterious hospital in the middle of nowhere, I was in UCLA Westwood, about 20 minutes from my house. I still couldn't ask what happened. Every time my brother or my Dad started talking about it I would stop them straight away.
I got out the van at my house and could barely make it up the 2 small stairs at the front of my stairs. I walked into my room, and saw my pictures and posters I had up on my wall still, and it hit me again, as I looked in my mirror, this happened, this is real; this is not a bad dream.
I went out into the front room to check my email. We have wooden chairs around the dining table. I pulled my laptop out and sat down, Ouch, I was soo skinny, I had lost soo much weight that it hurt to sit on those wooden chairs because of my bones were poking through.
I had to grab a pillow to sit on. I got up to get a drink of water out of the fridge, I got to the fridge, kneeled down to grab the water, and I fell, I didn't have the strength to squat down anymore. I didn't have the strength to stand and shave anymore.
Water Articles:
I tried to go for a walk that day, I was determined to build back as soon as I can, this is my new training session, and I was going to walk around the block I said.
I got to the end of the street and turned around. I came back in the house and collapsed on the couch. Rested for a little while then tried to go into my room to do some pushups, all I felt was my tendons, I had no muscle left, my tendons were doing most of the work. I managed to push out 10 push-ups, and no blood was going into my muscle, no pump? I thought, oh no, I'm f#%*ed up.
My appetite was beyond normal, it was crazy. I ate and ate and ate, and when I finished eating, I ate some more. I couldn't stop eating, I would eat every 3 hours, but I would sometimes eat for two hours straight, then I would be hungry an hour later, and super thirsty.
I put on only 5 lbs in the first week. Considering the amount I was eating, I thought I would have gained faster. I jumped on my scale every day, morning and night. Disappointed every time. I had no guidance - went online, searched for answers and nothing. Would I recover? Would I ever get my muscles back? Would I ever get my strength back? Will it be the same?
My Dad was only able to stay 2 weeks after I got out, and then I would be on my own looking after my brother. I would have to cook, go shopping, clean, and walk the dog. I couldn't sleep anyway at all for 3 weeks after I got out, so I stayed up all night worrying and thinking. How am I gonna get strong enough in a week and a half in order for me to take care of everything, I was overwhelmed.
I was getting a little stronger day by day, but by stronger I mean, I was able to walk around the block, and try and go to the supermarket with my dad, I didn't even have the strength to push the cart. I wore baggy clothes, long sleeve, a hat, and dark sunglasses.
I was embarrassed in how I looked, I thought everybody was staring at me, I saw someone I knew in the market one day and I hid, I couldn't let anyone see me like this, I didn't know what to tell them, every time I tried to talk, I would break down in tears.
I however called my friend Chris Cormier, who went through a similar experience the year before. He couldn't believe this happened to me, he came over right away and sat with me, and we compared stories. It was hard for me to see anyone, even Jerome wanted to come and see me, and I said not yet give me a couple of weeks, he understood. I took no photos or anything. I didn't want this to exist - if I didn't acknowledge it, maybe it will go away, like it never happened.

I walked everyday, and everyday I would get stronger and fitter. I started doing lunges in my front yard the week I got out. I went to buy some dumbbells from the sport shop. I went there thinking I could buy some 50 lb or at least 35 lbs dumbbells - I went in and tried to lift the 50 lbs, and it wouldn't move, I got scared, I went to lift the 35 lbs and I started to tear up. I left with 20 lbs, which felt like 100 lbs to me. My hands had lost weight too, it hurt to hold dumbbells - my bones in my hands had no more muscle protecting them.
I went home and did shoulder press, chest press on a ball, bicep curls, triceps kickbacks and skull crushers, pushups, abs, and side raises in a circuit. Then went and did lunges, this time I forced myself to use the 20 lbs dumbbells. My Dad and my brother thought I was doing too much, but to me it was a step towards normal, and I felt I was on a dead line. I still was not getting any pump at all, nothing, Nada.
By the time my dad left, which was less than two weeks after I got out, I had built my strength and endurance up enough for me to be able to drive, go shopping, and cook. And lift my brother from his bed to his chair, and visa-versa. When I did lift him though, my tendons in my bicep and elbow hurt. They hurt for a couple months until my muscles were strong enough to take the strain instead of my joints.
Endurance Articles:
We moved house about 4-6 weeks after I got out, I wasn't sure if I could do it, but I did. I moved our whole house on my own in a week. It showed me that I was ready to go back in the gym and train.
So I went back... I started in the small gym in my apartment complex. I was still too frail to face Gold's Gym Venice. My strength in my legs were the fastest to return. My biceps were my last thing to come back; funny, considering that was one of my strongest body parts.
I did my best, but then my brother got sick again, and he had to go back into the hospital for another emergency surgery. He ended up on the same floor and ward I was in, same nurses and everything, none of them recognized me when I went back, until I told them who I was, They couldn't believe I could look like that.
I felt I was coming back, but I was very shaken up being on that floor, and in that hospital again, my brother was in there for over 3 weeks, and I was there with him everyday... I didn't train.
Before I got sick I wouldn't have missed a training session, but now I knew what it was like being in a hospital bed. So I just kept him company.
I hadn't dated anyone for a very long time at that point. Then I noticed one of his nurses, she had a nice smile and a nice bum, LOL! But I wasn't the type to pursue, especially at that point, and I was still beat up, mentally more than anything. But she asked for my number, and the rest is history. The running joke is, "At least something good came out the hospital, heh Adam?" Yeah yeah, very funny!
My brother recovered, and I got back to Gold's, with Jerome, and we have been training ever since. I am back up to 180 lbs, around 9-10% body fat.
I started running again, with no knee pain for the first time since my triathlon days, which has got me thinking about taking back up triathlons again, but never give up bodybuilding.
People always say - even when I filmed the "Getting cut with Glass series" with Charles Glass - "Hey he doesn't look like a bodybuilder, he's no bodybuilder, he has no business being called a bodybuilder." Blah blah blah. I would smile and ask, what is a bodybuilder to you? Only somebody that weighs 280 lbs?
A bodybuilder my friend is somebody that gets up everyday, eats his breakfast of 8 eggs whites, 1 cup of oats, 1 banana, some berries, takes his or her vitamins and supplements like glutamine and creatine, picks up his or her bag, goes to the gym and train their @ss off 6 days a week, (including legs) LOL! You know who I'm talking about!
After training, take a post recovery, and then continue eating every 3 hours no matter what, even if they in the middle of a movie theater take out the container and chow, even with people looking at you because they think you farted as you open the container of steamed broccoli. Even if you driving down the freeway, it's food time. It's bedtime, it's food time, and it's training time, and all the while dealing with the rest of your life too. Trust me, I don't care if you weigh a buck 0 five, as Jerome says. In my eyes, you are a bodybuilder!
The doctor never found out for sure what caused my illness, all they told me was that it was rare, and if I wasn't in the shape that I was in, I would have probably died - my heart and lungs were fit enough to take the onslaught of my illness. Being fit cannot only keep you from getting sick in the first place, but also if you do get really sick, your survival rate and recovery will be so much better. In other words, fitness can save your life!

What Is Adam Kirby Up To Now?
Right now is like being in a catch 22, before I got sick I had quite a few clients, and we were able to afford a full time career for Adrian (my brother) but because I had no insurance, I now have a $300,000 dollar bill. Although I have few clients now, I have spent the past 7 months building my own health back up. But as we can't afford a full time caretaker anymore, I am limited on the time I would have to work. So I do what I can when I can.
My average day starts at 8am; I get my brother up, which takes roughly 2 hours to complete. I have breakfast as soon as I wake up. I walk my dog. Once my brother is up and ready, I go to the gym and train myself for roughly 1 1/2 - 2 hours depending on how much cardio I do that day. I have a post-workout shake, and then I eat lunch around 12:30-1:00.
I train a couple clients and eat again around 3:00. Usually every couple of days I have to run to the supermarket, go home; cook, clean, laundry etc., walk my dog; I eat again at 6:00pm. We cook dinner - we meaning, either my girlfriend or I will cook while the other cleans. A team effort around here. Haha! I eat again at 9:00. I usually get to bed at 1:00am. My last meal is at 12:00am, after I walk my dog again. That is a typical day for me at the moment.
I train people right now out of Gold's gym, Venice. I am certified by the PTA (Private Trainers Association). I am also the director of the Caribbean region for that same company. So when I make my way home I will be teaching and certifying people there, based out of Antigua. I am also working on opening my own gym there.
I would love to promote Antigua and the business I plan to open there. I will be catering to tourists also. I plan to be the Charles Glass of the Caribbean. I should be heading home in October. Meanwhile if people want to train with me while I'm still here, or if anybody has any questions regarding building back up physically and mentally, I would be happy to offer advice and support.

Thank You Adam Kirby
I have been a writer and fitness professional for nearly twelve years and this has to be one of the most unique interview experiences I have had the privilege of being a part of. I really did not have to say or write too much this time, only keep quiet and listened.
Adam's comeback story has really reinforced my belief that we should all lead a healthy life by exercising regularly, eating healthy foods, and getting plenty of rest. Adam thank you for your time and the best of luck to you and your brother!
