This is the coolest thing I've seen all day.The backstory goes like this: I was talking with Ken Mansfield, author of The White Book and Stumbling on Open Ground. He mentioned Chris Hillman, one of the founding members of the Byrds, and said he was a Christian. I've been a fan of the Byrds since I was a kid and knew Roger McGuinn was a believer, but I didn't know about Hillman. Ken told me to check out an interview Hillman did with CBN. Here's the video. You'll only need one guess as to why … [Read more...]

Tech highlights revival of the faith in Russia
I found this video very moving. It captures scenes from an exhibition on Orthodoxy in Moscow. It's touching to see the deep reverence shown by the faithful. And it's horrifying to view the footage of the Communists and their destruction of churches and icons.Even for for those of us in the West who've never witnessed anything like this, nor have any cultural memory of such barbarism, it's a soul-wrenching thing to behold. Watch it twice. … [Read more...]

Added and changed and cleaned up alot of things on my site. Browse
through the site again to see some slight changes and some added videos.
Cleaned up the Unused Characters section a bit. Removed some things like still frames inplace of gif animations and
removed the Bandana Red "bite" info since it's actually used.
2) Hey
look at that, I actually added some gif animations for some sprites! Surprised even myself. Added gifs to Unused Characters section.
3) Cleaned up Enemies section.
Also, added subnotes to the blue characters that a possible ice/snow level could have actually been planned but scrapped.
Although no other evidence gives proof that there might have been a snow/ice level in the works besides blue versions of certain
4) Cleaned up more in other sections, added
more enemies that aren't normally programmed for battles and added battlefields shown in the Jump '95 Video showcasing SMRPG.
Also added Geno sprites from the Square Special Video showcasing his beta appearance.
Hey everybody! Geesh la weeze, what is that! Fox lookout behind
you! Err wait, this isn't Star Fox 64!
Well it's been...1,2,3...9 long months and no updates! What's wrong
with me? If you haven't noticed, once everything has been unfolded on this site about unused and beta sprites, I can't
really update what's already been known. But I felt that the other things I've promised to do has yet to be accomplished.
I'll get to it eventually.
So E3 '09 is coming REAL soon, I believe it starts today, and I thought why
not update the site? So rumors going around Nintendo might be working on another Mario game for the Wii. And who
knows, maybe it's Super Mario RPG 2! Fat chance. Anyway, hopefully Nintendo will have a more impressive E3 this
year then last year. So to celebrate, I've archived 2008 news (incase anyone wants to read it for some reason) and put
a link on the right side. Also, I've made a new banner starring the Axem Rangers!
AND even better yet, while browsing The Spriters Resource I saw that someone found the beta layout of Tadpole Pond using the Lazy
Shell Editor!! TOTALLY amazed at this discovery! Check it out in the Unused Battle
Fields section (although it's not technically a battle field)!
Lazy Shell :
Lazy Shell has been officially released! This editing program lets you editing a SMRPG Rom from creating custom
backgrounds, placing sprites anywhere, to making your own battles!

Paul-Émile de Souza
|Paul-Émile de Souza
President Paul-Émile de Souza
|President of Dahomey
|In office
December 13, 1969 – May 7, 1970
|Preceded by
|Maurice Kouandété
|Succeeded by
|Hubert Maga
|Personal details
|June 17, 1999 (aged 67–68)
Colonel Paul-Émile de Souza (1931 – June 17, 1999) was a Beninese army officer and political figure. He was chairman of the Directory of Dahomey from December 13, 1969 to May 7, 1970.[2]
Military career[edit]
In 1966, de Souza was selected as vice president of the Comite de Renovation Nationale, as well as being one of the three officers on the Comite.[3] It had very few functions other than to advise Christophe Soglo and was abolished on April 6, 1967.[4] When Soglo was overthrown later that year, de Souza was chosen as Emile Derlin Zinsou's Director of Military Affairs.[5] For the most part de Souza tried to stay out of politics if he could[6] and led the parachutist unit at Ouidah.[7]
On December 10, 1969, Émile Derlin Zinsou was overthrown by Maurice Kouandété, though the military did not recognize the latter.[8] de Souza was briefly put under house arrest in the aftermath.[6] Since the two men could not end their quarrels, a Military Directorate was established with de Souza as its chairman,[9] Kouandete a member, and Col. Benoit Sinzogan of the Gendarmie occupying the third seat.[10] An election was held on March 28, 1970 to determine the true president. It was marked by a series of violent outbursts; unvalidated reports state that six people were killed were wounded at incidents in Parakou on the eve of the elections.[11] Former presidents Hubert Maga, Sourou-Migan Apithy, and Justin Ahomadégbé-Tomêtin received a majority of the vote in the north, southeast, and southwest/central, respectively.[8]
de Souza decided to nullify the results from Atakora, the region where Maga received the most votes. Outraged, Maga threatened to secede unless he was declared President. Apithy stated that he would convince his region to join Nigeria if Maga took the presidency. The three former Presidents agreed to a hasty compromise to prevent a civil war.[9] A presidential council, comprising Maga, Ahomadégbé-Tomêtin, and Apithy, with a presidency that changed every two years, was set up on May 7. Maga inaugurated this system for the first two years, before passing the power, on May 7, 1972, to Ahomadégbé-Tomêtin.[12]
Later life[edit]
The colonel returned to his role as Chief of Staff of the Dahomeyan Army.[13]
Kouandété attempted to usurp to power again on February 23, 1972. Leading the Ouidah garrison, he also attempted to take over government buildings and murder de Souza. Over the course of the operation, assailant Major Moumouni was mortally wounded by de Souza's bullets. de Souza, meanwhile, escaped with only a slight injury. The plot was foiled, although Maga cancelled a visit to France to attend the matter at hand.[13] Kouandété received the death penalty for his role in the attack.[9]
When Mathieu Kérékou seized power in October 1972, de Souza was dismissed from the army. He was appointed commissioner of the national Agricultural Credit Bank (SOCAD).[6] He died on June 17, 1999.[14] His wife died in 2015.

April 2011 Anthony Garland
It seems that every time you turn around, another comic book hero or even comic "universe" is being turned into a novelty flash drive. This of course is for the simple reason that people who grew up reading comic books are now all grown up and have more disposable income than they know what to do with.
In other words, geeks of a certain age (and usually gender) love geeky gadgets which remind them of their childhood. Heck, the fact you can actually justify your latest "action figure" by saying that it is actually a useable and "serious" device is just the balm we use on our egos in order to justify having a new collection of toys. Take the Monstoes' USB flash drives which (maybe) are your favourite Marvel and Nintendo action figures re-imaged as 2GB, 4GB or 8GB USB flash drives.
While we doubt Marvel – let alone ultra conservative Nintendo – has endorsed these artist renditions, and we truly doubt their cute factor is going to save Monstoes from being sued into oblivion; but that just means their "collector value" is even greater. After all, the only thing better than officially sanctioned USB novelty toys is bootleg toys. With a price tag of $25.95 and a decent selection of Marvel charters including Spiderman, Thor and Iron Man and even Bob-omb from the Super Mario Brother Universe these are sure to lure many of geek over to the "Dorkside" where all the cool geeks like us reside.
After all, they are completely usable flash drives and the fact that the company making them is probably not going to be making them for long (or even be around all that long once Marvel and Nintendo's lawyer eat them for lunch) means these are sure to be worth a bit of coin in the future. Sure this is a stretch and you really have to work at justifying the price of $25.95 for a mere 2GB flash drive, $29.95 for 4GB or $39.95 for 8GB; but they sure are cute and we are sure that they would look down right awesome next to our security badge on our lanyard around our necks.
Help spread the word. You're awesome for doing it!

My Love/Hate Relationship With Sophie Kinsella: A Book Review of I've Got Your Number
Now you are probably wondering... what do I mean by a love/hate relationship? Well, as much as I enjoy my time spent relaxing and reading Kinsella's novels, there is always a point in her books where I am overcome with pure frustration. Sure her books are light hearted and funny, but her characters are always the exact same! Whether its Becky's obsession with shopping in the Shopoholic series or Poppy's inability to keep her nose out of other people's lives in I've Got Your Number, Sophie Kinsella's female characters are always self destructive in some form or another!
Even though its funny to see the situations that these bad decisions get the characters into, I can't help but cringe every time they do something that is obviously going to blow up in their faces. At some points I just feel like screaming at the characters and saying "NO! DON'T DO IT YOU IDIOT!" Luckily, the character of Poppy in Kinsella's latest novel wasn't quite as daft as her previous female heroines. In fact, I was somewhat impressed by her general perceptiveness and thoughtfulness. Unfortunately, this perception did not prevent her from messing up big time when it came to getting involved in the personal life of a complete stranger.
Although I may HATE Kinsella's self-destructive heroines, there is no denying that her novels are great for a laugh and some good romance (hence the "Love" part of this love/hate relationship). I've Got Your Number was no exception to this trend. As much as Poppy made me want to tear out my hair at times, there were definitely parts of the story that made me crack a smile, and at one point I even snorted out loud trying to hold in my laughter (much to the amusement of my friends laying beside me on the beach).
My favourite part of I've Got Your Number, however, was the amount of texts and emails included in the book between Poppy and Sam. I don't know what it is about text messages and emails, but I immediately fall in love with any chick lit book that includes them (like Meg Cabot's Boy series!!)! I know...I'm weird! Or do other people find that style of writing strangely attractive as well? Maybe its because these texts and emails make the characters seem more natural and lifelike then some of the crazy thoughts and dialogues provided throughout the rest of the story.
Overall, I've Got Your Number was frustrating at times, but its humour and lightheartedness more then made up for it! It's definitely the perfect beach/summer read for those of you looking for a book to relax and unwind to! While Sophie Kinsella's self-destructive characters can drive me crazy, I'll nevertheless be anxiously awaiting to see what crazy story she ends up writing next!

I've yet to read a Kinsella book but I've heard they're hilarious. I appreciate the warning about self destructive characters. Consider me warned. :)

Great review, Natalie! I too love the text/email element in chick-lit books, especially Meg Cabot's stuff :)
For me, this book was a huge disappointment. While I too get frustrated by her self-destructive heroines, they still always manage to grab me by the heart. But I didn't find Poppy or the story to be as engaging as I had hoped. Hopefully the next one is better!

Even though I want to yell at the main character too, I can't help but love Sophie Kinsella books. Becky really frustrated me though...no way would a guy in the real world put up with all her crap like Luke did in the series lol.

I absolutely love Sophie Kinsella novels, I've read just about all of them as well (minus her Madeline Wickham books) but I agree with all her characters are very alike. I really need to pick this one up soon, I love the idea of texts and emails throughout the book, definitely grabs my attention.

I know exactly what you mean about Kinsella's heroines! You really have to just see them as comedy performers, doing things to get laughs from the readers or they'll drive you *insane*.

- Camille Picott said...
Great review! As for wanting to slap the MC for their stupid decisions . . . I guess it speaks to Kinsella's writing that she makes you feel so much. :)

I feel the same way about his books. I do love them all (although I haven't picked this one up yet) but get frustrated that all of the characters feel the same. The one exception for me was in Twenties Girl. And since that was also one of her newest, maybe she's getting better.
And I'm a fan of the texts/e-mails in books too. Have you read 50 Shades of Grey yet? E-mails play a big part in them, and were some of my favorite parts.

- Natalie said...
Darcy: I know! I can't believe that Luke put up with Becky's crap either! He must be a saint!
TG: I like your comparison of Kinsella's characters to comedy performers. That is definitely a good way of viewing them! Maybe it will make me less frustrated next time!
Shoshanah: Yes I have read 50 Shades of Grey and the emails were by far my favourite part of the entire series!!! They made me laugh out loud sometimes!

REAL AND POWERFUL LOVE SPELL TO GET YOUR EX BACK FAST,STOP DIVORCE GET BACK YOUR LOST ONE BACK WITH THE HELP OF DR. ERO SPELL EMAIL HIM AT: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi My name is 'CHERRY SHANE' just want to share my experience with the world on how i got my husband back and saved my marriage... I was married for 7 years with 2 kids we lived happily until things started getting ugly, a point where he filed for divorce... I tried my best to make her change his mind & stay with me cause i loved him so much didn't want to loose him but everything just didn't work out... he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce... I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster who eventually helped me out... I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice... He did special prayers and cast a return back spell on him... Within 7 days he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our third child. I have introduced him to a lot of couples with problems across the world and they have had good news... Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there need's it... You can email him via firstname.lastname@example.com website http://eromosalspiritualtemple.webs.com or call him with +2348161850195..

iTunes link: SoundHound – Free
Like Shazam, SoundHound (which was previously known as Midomi) provides you with an easy way to track down a song that you've heard, but don't yet know the name of. However, the difference is that as well as being able to work out the song title from recording the actually track, you can also just hum the tune into it. What's more, it also provides 30-second previews of the tracks that it finds.
The app now includes Say Search where you can just speak the name of an artist or song into your phone to find the track online and it also integrates with the iPod application on your iPhone so you can play back your iPod library through SoundHound. It'll even find the lyrics for the songs you play and display them over the album art. The free version allows you to perform five free music identification searches per month, but there's also a paid-for version that removes this limit.
SoundHound is a great app not just for finding the names of tracks, but also for finding specific versions of a song or tracking down lyrics.

Are there other Saab "approved" oil filters out there. I Have 20,000 miles on a 2001 Aero and noticing the oil is very dirty before 2000 miles. Using the dealer provided filters and logging mostly highway miles the oil is dirtyier than any vehicle I have every owned. Dealer says change more often and suggests staying with Saab filters. I 3000 miles a month. I would have to change oil 15 times a year under that theory.

Big Boi, Killer Mike and Pill a Month Deep on New Album
Some of Atlanta's finest rappers are getting ready to stand up. A recent report by Maurice Garland brought an interesting tidbit for fans of collaborative rap albums: Big Boi, Killer Mike (aka Mike Bigga) and Pill are all recording together and working on a record.
"I was hanging at Stankonia tonight chopping it up with these three," wrote Garland over the weekend. "After a night of Black n Milds, rum, vodka and good music … they told me they were working on a new album together. None of these cats have gave me false info before so take this as the stone cold truth. They said they have about a months worth of material ready to go so stay tuned."
While both Big Boi and Mike Bigga are surely Georgia legends at this point, Pill is still a relatively new addition to the fold. The 'Trap Goin' Ham' rapper recently inked a deal with Rick Ross and his Maybach Music imprint to create new material.
The news also creates yet another anticipated collaborative hip-hop album for 2011. Jay-Z and Kanye West are currently working towards completion on 'Watch The Throne,' while Eminem's efforts with Dr. Dre are 'Detox' into something more poppy than we would have ever imagined.

New Batman TV show, minus the GD Batman
You know what the problem is with all these superhero stories? All the superheroes getting in the way of a mediocre cop/crime drama. Enter "Gotham," starring that kind of dopey, kid from the other side of the tracks in The OC, Ben McKenzie as Detective Jim Gordon. (Yes, McKenzie was very good in Southland, but I get the sense Gotham's writing won't be on par with Southland.)
Gordon has to battle the ever increasing problem with gangs in Gotham while mentoring the young rich kid who just had his parents murdered.
That's right, Jim Gordon is good buddies with baby Bruce Wayne. Not only that, the rest of Gotham's future baddies, such as The Riddler, Penguin, Cat Woman and others are all just a bunch of bratty, entitled teens. It's the Muppet Babies of superhero stories. It's Gossip Girl for the Criminally Insane.
Here's the trailer. Fox just picked it up, probably hoping for the same sort of success Arrow brought the CW.

text: I know tivo instructions say, "pause a tuner" before switching tuners. Here's what I think is a problem. If I switch tuners without pausing and immediately return to the first tuner it has jumped ahead to live TV. I'm convinced the old software remained at the last playing spot (actually moved ahead the amount of time I was on second tuner). Is this the programed action or is this a change? If a change, it is a very bad one. A second problem is watching a program with a delay (say 15mins) and without warning the program ends and jumps to a record scheduled programs if both tuners are required to record the schedule. Again, I thought the old software would allow you to finish watching whatever time was left on the program before it reached the scheduled recording time. E.g. if you had 15 mins of delay playback left, you could watch that even thought 2 programs were being recorded. There was at least a question about the upcoming recording.

Being the strong-willed dog that I am, I have noticed lately that everyone seems to have forgotten that I, Josie, am the boss of everything. I try to tell them and they just ignore me. So, I go to my woodpile and bark at all of the mysterious creatures that live there.
I like Katie and I'm glad she came to live here. She is not weird like Captain is, so we can romp and play. The only problem is that sometimes Gus tries to play with her while I'm playing with her! The nerve of that dog! I have to chase him off all of the time!
Carolyn and Brian bought a new house so that I could have a big backyard to play in... then, Brian made a giant woodpile for me!
I love the woodpile! It makes me so happy. I can climb on it, explore in it, or even just bark at it.
One day, I jumped in the woodpile and I cut myself. But, who cares? Sadly, I cared later that day when Carolyn took me to the emergency vet to get stitches.
My foot was hurting me for such a long time. Carolyn would take me to the vet, but they didn't really help me. So, she found me a new vet.
The new vet thought that I had cancer, so she did surgery on my foot. She found that I had a tumor on my toe so she removed my nail and toe. It felt really strange at first.
A few days after my surgery, the vet called Carolyn to tell her that I don't have cancer! Carolyn told me that I am a very lucky dog.
Now, I feel better than I've felt in years! I can run faster than Gus and Captain so I make them chase me around the yard. Carolyn & Brian laugh and smile when they see me running. They know how happy I am!

Email Encryption: Worth the Trouble?
Setting up PGP
Setting up PGP
This all sounds great in theory, but unless you want to spend more than $100 for Symantec's PGP software, you're going to find that setting up a PGP encryption is easier said than done.
Security expert Robert David Graham of Errata Security called PGP "more trouble than it's worth." However, he said, PGP is probably the best place to start for someone new to encryption.
All of the OpenPGP authorities — insofar as authorities exist in open-source software development — have websites that look straight out of the 1990s.
The site you want is www.gnupg.org, which distributes free, open-source software called GnuPG, or GPG for short, that's based on the OpenPGP standard. GPG was written for users of the Linux and GNU operating systems, but the website also contains links to installation packages for Windows (gpg4Win) and Mac (GPGTools).
You're finally in the right place! Now all that's left is a solid hour or two of setup as you make your way through gpg4Win or GPGTools' long, but thorough instruction manuals. By the end of it, you'll have PGP-based encryption functioning on Outlook for Windows (if you used gpg4Win) or Apple's OS X Mail app (if you used GPG Tools).
But what if you don't use either of those clients, but instead use a browser? If you want to send and receive encrypted email via a browser-based email service, or webmail, you can install a browser-specific plugin. That plugin will act as a bridge between your browser and the PGP software already downloaded onto your computer.
To find the appropriate plugin, check your browser's app store or do a Google search for your browser's name plus "PGP plugin."
Why webmail doesn't cut it
Why isn't there an easier way to go about setting up PGP? Marlinspike says it's more than just a simple question of developing better user interfaces.
"When it comes to secure email, it has long been time to throw out the PGP model and start over," Marlinspike told us. "Unfortunately, however, for the past 13 years, the development of a usable secure email system has been blocked by one thing: webmail."
People love the convenience of webmail, but it's just not as secure as a desktop client, and therefore many cryptographers simply don't bother writing browser plugins for email encryption. "It is simply not possible to produce a secure email system that works in the webmail context," Marlinspike told us. "So most people who are interested in working on secure email haven't even bothered, because it's a non-starter."
Marlinspike says there are no browser-based encryption services that he could recommend "with a straight face."
In email, as with all online communications, privacy comes at the expense of convenience. So it's up to users whether they want to switch to desktop email, and thus increase their security, or continue to use webmail.
"It's a matter of tradeoffs," said Graham. "How much time do you want to spend learning this stuff, and how much do you fear the NSA?"

HEXiTgoogle says you have no right to expect privacy because you send mail through its servers?... wrong... there is no difference between an email and a phone call. in the 80's and 90's you plugged your telephone into a modem and sent your data. the only difference is the technology has matured and switched to digital but is based on the same premis. so is still covered by your governments wire tap laws.
the problem arises because the judges dont understand this basic fact. they may be electronic communication but they are still communication between 2 persons. so should be subject to the same privacy laws as a telephone call on a land line.
another thing... you hand write or type a letter, stick it in an envelope and post it... by googles interpretation they would have the right to open the envelope to read the contents of the letter when it hits there sorting office... no they dont have the right to do that. in fact its a federal in the u.s offense and offense against the crown in the uk. both of which carry hefty sentences. the only difference between an email and a letter is the delivery method. the idea behind it is the same. communication... google may be trying to tell you different but they are in the wrong... basically there hoping if they say it often enough it will be true... dont listen, demand privacy or stop using there services...
TomsUser726This quote from the above article is simple bunk!:
' People love the convenience of webmail, but it's just not as secure as a desktop client, and therefore many cryptographers simply don't bother writing browser plugins for email encryption. "It is simply not possible to produce a secure email system that works in the webmail context," Marlinspike told us. "So most people who are interested in working on secure email haven't even bothered, because it's a non-starter." ' There is nothing different about web based email systems regarding message security with PGP or GPG from standalone email clients. What is needed is a standalone PGP or GPG client which encrypts a text message offline into a PGP or GPG encrypted message which can be saved locally as a file, or just copied and pasted into a blank email message, whether that is on a standalone email client or one that exists on a web page, like Gmail, Yahoo mail, or whatever. The message is already encrypted, and is unreadable no matter which email system sends it! Same at the receiving end. The message is encrypted whether on the web page or in Outlook, or Windows Live Mail, or Apple mail, or Gmail, or Yahoo mail, or Eudora, or Pegasus Mail or anything else! The encrypted message then just needs to be copied into a text editor and/or pasted directly into desktop PGP or GPG, where it can be decrypted and read! Voila!!!

After looking at about 75 potential candidates, the Compaq Computer Corporation said yesterday that it had chosen its relatively unknown chief operating officer, Michael D. Capellas, as its president and chief executive.
Mr. Capellas, 44, joined Compaq a year ago as chief information officer and was promoted to chief operating officer only last month. In May, Compaq dismissed its previous chief executive, Eckhard Pfeiffer, as the company's performance teetered and lost ground to the Dell Computer Corporation.
Analysts were generally skeptical and disappointed that Compaq did not choose someone with a track record similar to that of Carleton S. Fiorina, the Lucent Technologies executive named earlier this week by the Hewlett-Packard Company as its new chief executive.
''The most prominent reaction to Capellas is, 'Who?' '' said Richard A. Shaffer, principal of Technologic Partners, a publishing company.Continue reading the main story
Kevin McCarthy, an analyst for Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Inc., said Compaq might not have been able to attract the most experienced executive because its chairman, Benjamin M. Rosen, the venture capitalist who helped start Compaq in 1983, will remain in that position.
''Capellas doesn't have the star power that people had hoped for,'' Mr. McCarthy said. ''A cynic would say that Compaq couldn't find anyone outside who wanted the job.''
Mr. Rosen said, however, that Mr. Capellas became the board's first choice after it had considered 75 potential candidates and interviewed 12 of them.
''We looked at people from all sorts of backgrounds and quickly decided that knowledge of the industry was paramount,'' Mr. Rosen said in an interview yesterday. ''Other people would have learning curves of three months, six months or a year. Michael is working already.''
Mr. Rosen said that he had been impressed with the speed at which Mr. Capellas had taken to reorganizing Compaq during the last few weeks.
''As soon as we picked Michael as C.O.O., he locked the entire management team in a room for three days and didn't let them out until they agreed on how they would revitalize the company,'' Mr. Rosen said. ''That told us something about his energy and drive.''
Mr. Rosen denied reports that his first choices were not interested in the position. ''There were a lot of people who said they were interested in this job,'' he said. ''And there were people who publicly took themselves out of the running whom we never considered.''
A certified public accountant, Mr. Capellas started his career with the Republic Steel Corporation and then spent 15 years with Schlumberger Ltd., the big oil services concern, working in financial and corporate information systems positions. Since leaving Schlumberger in 1996, Mr. Capellas's career has been a whirlwind. He worked for six months in a small Boston consulting firm, with SAP America and at Oracle.
At Oracle, Mr. Capellas supervised the company's products and sales to the energy industry.
''He is a solid manager and I would hire him in a heartbeat,'' said Robert Shaw, Mr. Capellas's boss at Oracle and now chief executive of USWeb/CKS, an Internet services company. ''He would sit back, listen, ask the hard questions and then make a decision. He didn't 'meeting' something to death.''
Thomas M. Siebel, chief executive of Siebel Systems Inc., a software company that does a lot of business with Compaq, said that he had been very impressed with Mr. Capellas in his dealings with him over the last year.
''He is a big-picture guy,'' Mr. Siebel said. ''He understands the problems of large corporations and how to sell to them.''
Indeed, much of Mr. Capellas's initial challenge will be to bring order to the sprawling line of high-end corporate systems Compaq inherited with its acquisitions of Tandem Computers and Digital Equipment.
Mr. Capellas said Compaq would keep the product lines from both companies as well as Compaq's own line of high-end servers. But next month it will pare the number of computer models it offers to help reduce inventory costs and to make its offerings clearer to customers.
More broadly, he said the company would refocus all of its efforts around building hardware that can be used with the Internet. The larger machines will be aimed at companies running Web sites. The personal computer business will be focused on workers who connect to the Internet at their desks. And Compaq's Presario line of home computers will be expanded to include cheaper ''Internet appliances'' that will be intended exclusively for Web surfing.
In each of these areas, he said, Compaq will supplement hardware sales with services. For big companies, this means custom programming and operations assistance. For consumers, the company hopes to offer Internet access and on-line shopping.
At the same time, he hinted that Compaq would be more discriminating in the markets it goes after than the very ambitious expansion program led by Mr. Pfeiffer. ''We want profitable growth,'' he said at a meeting with investors. ''That doesn't mean growth at all costs.''Continue reading the main story

My name is Saeed Esmaily, i'm a physic student using Mathematica 3.0.0
in my work. I have question which i hope someone out there can help me.
I have a set of 9 equations:
1) Sigma = 2*h*rho
2) Mdot = 2*Pi*r*Sigma*vr
3) fphi = (Mdot/(4*Pi*r^2*h))*((G*M*r)^(1/2)-beta*(G*M*ri)^(1/2))
4) F = (3*Mdot/(8*Pi*r^2))*(G*M/r)*(1-beta*(ri/r)^(1/2))
5) h =(P/rho)^(1/2)*(r^3/(G*M))^(1/2)
6) fphi = alpha*P
7) tau = kappa*Sigma
8) P = (a*T^4)/3
9) F = a*c*T^4/tau
solving simulataneously for (F,rho, Sigma, T, h, tau) this variablesmust
be functions of (r, Mdot, M). I have used many hours doing this without
the satisfying result.
Any help apprieciated.
Regards Saeed

Unimog 404 Questions
I was originally planning to fit unimog 404 axels to a land rover defender 110 but I've now decided to go the 'whole hog' and buy a complete unimog 404.
I just have a few questions about 404's; I am slightly confused about a few things.
I am planning to have a double cab so I can hold equipment and more than 2 people inside the truck. I know doka/double cabs 404's are very rear so I think I am likely to end up with a single cab soft top. Because of this I am now thinking about building my own double cab soft top from a single cab. Overall it shouldn't be too hard to make the actual body as all I will need to do is extended the body work back and build or find a pair of 404 doors. After this I am then hoping to get someone to build a full roll cage which will go around the complete double cab body (So I end up with something like this)
The only problem I currently see is mounting the extended body on to the chassis, due to it flexing. I know that it can be done as many unimogs have been made into double cabs. I just don't have a clue how to go round it. So if anyone can help me out I would be extremely grateful. Also if anyone has any build pictures of a single cab being made into a doka can you please send them to me? I am currently not worried about fitting the cage, partly because the company that I get it done by should know what there doing but also because I think the doka body is more important at this stage.
If you have any build pictures please send them to me. My email address is: firstname.lastname@example.com
Another issue I think I might have is power steering. As I am hoping to use the car on the road I can't go full hydro so I am restricted to hydro assist or a powerful power steering unit. I just wondered if anyone knew the best way of fitting power steering to a 404. I've heard that a 411 hydro pump and ram would work and they almost bolt on but they seem to be extremely rare so I don't know how likely it will be for me to find one.
It would be great if anyone could answer my questions.

I'm doing a Doka cab extension myself. The structure of the body is as simple as it gets, rectangular tubing at the rockers, and light gauge angle for floor supports. If you go to mogtech.com and search in the tech section, there are some detailed pictures of a Doka, and some good photos of homemade dokas. You can get doors and body panels from expedition imports.
As far as the roll cage goes, the doka body is not strong enough to handle a roll over with a cage without some serious upgrades to the subframe. I'm going to be building a sturdy subframe of my own design inspired by the cargo bed subframe. If you don't go this route, and tie into the rockers, you stand to destroy the body in a good roll.
On the topic of power steering, you can go a couple of routes. Ram assist is an option, but you need to install a control valve. Your options are to splice one into the steering column, or the drag link. I debated going out the end of the steering box, but there isn't enough room. Either way will require quite a bit of fabrication, plus mounting the ram, plumbing hoses etc. The mogshop has a bolt-on system like this for sale for $2500. Otherwise, you can get a 406/416 sttering box/pump and mount that. There's still some fabrication to mount the box, pump, and shims for different size tie rod ends, but it's easier than going assist. I'm using a garrison control valve in the drag link, but I'm not looking to go the easy method. I've driven this set up, and it worked flawlessly.
Pirate is a great resource for information about putting mog axles under some other trail rig, or for some entertaining mog posts, but in general if you want information regarding unimogs specifically, check out the following sites, and check their archives.
Parts (theres way more out there with some searching)

Well that was a pretty thorough post to cover your question. I agree with everything he said, but I would lean towards the 416/406 power steering. I have a 416 and a 404 custom stretched 404 and I went with full hydro, but I don't drive the 404 on the road. The 416 weighs so much more than the 404 and it turns the 416 with no problems that even with bigger aired down tires the 416 power steering will handle the 404 easily.
Here is the link to my 404 custom stretch. Remember my job took over 120' of tubing to build the roll cage and a lot of sheet metal because the mog is so big. I will also tell you that I tied my roll cage to the frame, against popular demand, and my mog flexes insane. It also hasn't had frame problems like many will claim. I'm over a year into it but I think it's good for the long hall, we will see. Check out this link: http://web.mac.com/dansflb/iWeb/DanD...%20Photos.html
You might want to consider saving up a little bit and buying a 416 doka. It will have the power steering, onboard air, hydraulic breaks, 4 seater, and a diesel, designed to run on 40" tires. You can pick one up for between $16,000-$25,000. If you get one on the lower end you can just spend a couple bucks reconditioning the body overtime. I have at least that into my 404 and I wish I would have just went with a 416 Doka right from the start. It's something to think about, I have both and I love them both off road for different reasons, but if I just had one it would be like Doc's.
If you live anywhere near Sacramento I can take you out for a spin in both and you can see what you like the most.
Good luck, you will love the mog world!

Here mine stretched from original. Not done with the cage yet but you get the idea. I am finishing up the full hydro right now. I figure with the speed this mog can do, I'll be fine with full hydro on the street.

As we expected, Marion Cotillard's promo tour for 'Rust and Bone' was a Dior fest, with a brief "hallelujah, it's Alaïa" moment.
The tour kick started during Toronto Film Festival, where she donned a strapless grey Dior Fall 2012 Couture dress.
This look and the Christian Dior Spring 2013 LBD she wore to the London premiere were the only looks I liked during her promo tour.
While she sparkled at the AFI Fest premiere, the New York premiere's Spring 2013 Dior look was unflattering; the Alaia wasn't particularly exciting; and, between the hair and the Pre-Fall 2013 Dior mullet dress in Toyko, we were left wondering what had happened to our favourite French actress' red carpet mojo.

While Choi was credited for naming Taekwondo it is my opinion that this committee also helped and it could have been as little as giving ideas that eventually derived to the name Taekwondo have done it without the help of others. Plus naming Taekwondo does not make it Taekwondo. A committee decided what Taekwondo should be and it is still evolving today; some for the good some for the bad.
Quote:Quote:GM Park Jong Soo has a video set available and on one DVD he demonstrates how a TKD person would handle a grapler,kickboxer, etc. I haven't gotten it yet and was wondering if anyone here has and what do they think of it? MichaelboikI looked up GM Park Jong Soo and came across a video from 1973 that appeared to be him demonstrating one step sparing at some event. He was awesome even back in 1973.What I found to be so fascinating watching this is we do one steps also but we utilize many, more hand techniques and take downs in this sparing. Not normally a big deal but the school I train at is WTF affiliated. I can honestly say that GM Park Soo used at least three times as many kicks as we do for this type sparing and I didn"t see one take down.Please do not take this as my school is better than that ITF school I am only interested in the fact that WTF schools are always being criticized for not using the hands enough and kicking too much. As I watched this I couldn"t help to notice that ITF kicks way more often than I thought and we use our hands way more than others want to believe, so what the heck is all this debate that go:s on between WTF and ITF all about? it does not make since to me. I am rambling now. I was just mesmerized watching this that's all.

Mother and father are called
"Brahma," "early teachers"
And "worthy of veneration,"
Being compassionate towards
Their family of children.
Thus the wise should venerate them,
Pay them due honor,
Provide them with food and drink,
Give them clothing and a bed,
Anoint and bathe them
And also wash their feet.
When he performs such service
For his mother and his father,
They praise that wise person even here
And hereafter he rejoices in heaven

I would like to hear from those of you who have had children, the effect it had on your practice. We commonly hear about the problems it brings and hear about the positives as well. But rather than be theoretical or speculate, I want to know from those of you who have children, how it has affected your practice. I suspect it cannot be completely positive or negative. On the balance is it more negative than positive (for example 60% vs 40%) or vice versa?

I want to change my rear brake pads but the Bentley Service Manual says that I would need Special Tool 3272 to push in the piston. Any idea what that is? Would a C-clamp do the trick?
If anyone out there has changed their own brake pads, I need help!! :bow:

Malibu might have been a better idea. Or Majorca. Or if those locations seemed too exotic, what on Earth was the matter with somewhere like Cornwall?
But no, Michael and Dot Rea, a couple from Wiltshire, have chosen to build their zero-carbon house in Unst, the most northerly of the inhabited Shetland Islands, on the same latitude as Alaska and Southern Greenland.
Winters there are bitter, the island is often raked by gales speeding in off the grey waters of the North Sea at over 100mph and even in August the average temperature barely nudges 14c.
Perverse is the word that springs to mind. But, 'Come in, come in,' says Michael cheerfully as I stand shivering outside his front door, looking out across the picturesque but chilly bay.
Going for green: Michaeal and Dot Rae outside their eco-friendly house in Unst in the Shetlands
'You'll be warm enough inside. Even though the heating's not on. We switched it off three months ago. We haven't needed it once since, not even when there was snow on the ground...'
Is Michael mad? Extraordinarily hardy? Or could he possibly be onto something? The fact that he is wearing a furry hunter's hat, complete with ear-flaps, which he refuses to remove is not reassuring.
And yet, stepping over the threshold into the timber-framed house, it's a surprise to find it's remarkably cosy inside. Sunlight is streaming through the windows, Michael's wife Dot is clearing up after lunch and before long I'm so hot, I have taken off not only my coat but my jumper too.
'It's all about insulation and heat recovery,' explains Michael, patting a large chunk of the yellow expanded foam that he has been using to insulate the roof and external walls.
'The easiest way to go zero-carbon is not to harness more green energy but to use less of it. I remember when our three children were growing up how much of our income was spent on heating and how tough that was. Well, this house has a large living area and kitchen, three bedrooms and a study.
'By the time we've finished, we'll be able to light the entire place with 100 watts - the same amount of power as is consumed by a single light bulb. In all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we will also be able to keep it warm, or cool enough, for the same energy cost of having three 100W bulbs switched on.'
Amid the oil crisis and soaring energy prices, Michael's house is generating considerable interest. The housing and regeneration arm of the Scottish Government are using it as a model for sustainable building and living.
Following the Government's decree that all new-build houses should be carbon neutral by 2016, it is also being monitored by officials from London.
It has even attracted attention from as far afield as China, where there are plans for a 5,000-house eco-town in Guangzhou that may utilise some of the Raes' green innovations.
It is quite a thing for Unst, a small island, just 12 miles from north to south and five from east to west, inhabited by only around 700 people, and where crofting, fishing and shellfish farming are ways of life.
Not that this low-lying place, with its endless, bleak stretches of treeless peat moorland and curiously pale, sharp light, is without its claims to fame - Robert Louis Stevenson once came here to visit the Muckle Flugga lighthouse, which was built by his father.
Some even say he used it as a blueprint for Treasure Island.
But perhaps the most extraordinary thing about the island's eco-friendly house is how little it cost.
The Reas' home, is an off-the-shelf timber-frame flat-pack which they bought for £37,000, plus an £3,500 for the customised sun-room.
It's made from Scandinavian redwood, a renewable resource, and was chosen, says Michael, 'because it's lightweight which makes it very easy to heat compared to, say, a traditional stone croft house which needs a lot of energy to warm the walls through.'
On top of that, labour costs and the green technology they have deployed have brought the overall cost to £210,000.
However, without the considerable sponsorship they have won from companies interested in being part of the project, Michael estimates the cost would have been about £270,000.
And once they are completely up and running, save for maintenance costs, all their energy will be entirely free.
For the Reas this all started almost by accident, in 1982, when Dot, a former literacy teacher with a passion for textiles, came to Unst to do a course in knitting and hand-dyeing.
She fell in love with the place, brought Michael back the next year for a holiday and after 'a few stiff drinks at the Yachting Regatta dance', found themselves making an offer for a house.
The original building was almost derelict, and when it was further damaged in a hurricane on New Year's Eve, 1992, had to be demolished.
They set about deciding what to put in its place. 'I'd always wanted to build something that was interesting,' says Michael. 'And after a conversation with a friend at Energy for Sustainable Development who suggested using the house as a demonstration project, we came up with this.'
Crucial to the efficiency of the house is the insulation - the 140mm of Celotex foam that lines the walls and has aluminium foil on each face so that no heat is let in or out.
But I'm also surprised by how bright the place is. Most new-build houses have depressingly poky windows to meet building regulations for the overall U-values of the walls (U-values measure heat loss).
So how has Michael managed to have such lovely big ones, which overlook the water towards the hazy islands of Fetlar, Uyea and Yell?
'Simple,' he says. 'The windows are filled with argon, a gas that acts as an insulator.
And no, it wasn't expensive, at least not in the grand scheme of things. We paid an extra £1,500 for it, that's all.
'Of course we also benefit from having large windows, because they allow radiant heat from the sun in.'
He makes it sound effortless but it hasn't all been plain sailing. In 2006 when they had a crane in to build the roof in hurricane Force 12 winds, gusts snapped one of the heavy trusses in half and sent it crashing to the ground.
There have been an endless series of wrangles with the local planning office and work is regularly delayed by the sheer remoteness of the project - 'At the moment we're waiting to borrow a digger from the neighbouring island of Yell,' says Dot glumly.
'It's been months. But there's only one and it has to build a car park for the nature reserve first.'
No wonder Michael, whose bizarre menagerie of a CV incorporates casting bronzes for sculptures by Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore, working as a construction business adviser in Kuwait, a stint in a plasticine factory and later working for electronics companies, says he has lost two-and-a-half stone from the stress and exhaustion of overseeing the whole thing.
But in a way, nothing seems to faze this unusual couple. Not the paucity of services. 'The bank uses the same mobile premises as the hairdresser', says Dot, 'so you can't get your hair done on a Tuesday because the bank's there then.'
Not the remoteness - Unst does have its own airport but the quickest way to get here is to fly to Sumburgh in Shetland then embark on a three-hour drive incorporating two ferries.
Nor the occasional comments from locals that they shouldn't be here - 'Most people are very friendly'.
Michael says he feels the effort is all worth it. 'What we are doing used to be seen as the black arts. People thought we were wacko. Well perhaps we are. But now officialdom is realising that energy conservation is vital - although it may already be too late.'
However, he says houses will never meet new energy targets without having heat recovery systems. This involves a heat exchanger which replaces used air from inside with fresh air from outside - but ensuring that no heat is lost.
Despite the hefty amount of sponsorship the project has garnered, Michael insists it is not a gimmick. And he is now happily surprised by the efficiency of their new house.
For example, there is a fuel cell storage system that can store up to four-and-a-half days' worth of energy.
A further energy saving are the highly-efficient LED lights in place of traditional lightbulbs. Also, rainwater will be harvested to irrigate the garden and feed the washing machine and toilets.
At the moment, Michael reckons the house uses about a quarter of the energy that a normal house of a similar size would consume, which is why it still drawing from the national grid.
In a few weeks' time, however, he will have erected a wind turbine and expects to become self-sufficient almost immediately.
Later, there will also be solar panels but he says: 'I expect 95 per cent of our energy to come from the wind turbine. The solar panels are really coming as an experiment.'
He is, however, most excited about plans for the garden, which promises to be a sort of Good Life.
'Ultimately,' says Michael, 'The idea is that we won't have to buy any food. Dot's a vegetarian but I hope to have some chickens.
'And in the back garden we're going to have a huge 48 square metre greenhouse where will we grow plants hydroponically (where the roots are in a nutrient solution instead of soil to accelerate growth).
'It's going to be incredibly efficient. We'll use LED lights to create artificial seasons and should get five crops of tomatoes a year - every square metre of greenhouse will yield 240kg of tomatoes annually.'
There will also be lettuce, lemon and orange trees, peppers, and even a grapevine, while at the front of the house Michael has already planted rhubarb, broccoli, peas, carrots and beetroots.
'It's a working house. It's got to earn its keep.'
All in all, it promises to be the sort of place to which you could retreat if civilisation failed entirely and you needed to be utterly self-sufficient.
Which seems to be the plan. 'We've built a house we can grow old in,' says Dot. And then she pauses.
'But it has taken us a long time. You know, we're going to call it TGIF - Thank goodness it's finished.'
It's obviously been a slog, but perhaps, just perhaps, we'll all live like this one day.

New Delhi, Mar 9: The home ministry has issued a fresh terror alert to three metros including Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata advising the Maharashtra, Karnataka and West Bengal authorities to beef up security at sensitive spots.
This terror alert comes in the wake of the arrest of an Indian Mujahideen terrorist by Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) last Friday, Mar 5. He has been wanted for involvement in the serial blasts at Ahmedabad, Varanasi and Gorakhpur.
"They (terrorists) may now try to attack the airports at peak hours from the frontal side so that they are able to inflict maximum damage...it is for this reason we have got deployed on the city side at bigger airports," CISF additional director-general (airport sector) M S Bali told the media on Monday, Mar 8.
Besides the plans of ISI-LeT combine to target Indian metropolitan cities, the arrested IM cadr, identified as Salman alias Chottu, has also revealed that the IM cadres are being used for ISI-Lashker"s Karachi project.
Through this project, local terror leaders recruit Indians and send them across the border to Pakistan for training.
It was found earlier that Salman, who obtained a fake passport from Nepal, had recently visited the Pakistan where he attended training at a terror camp and returned to Nepal. He was, in fact, arrested, along the UP-Nepal border.

Q: Are there things that surprised you about LSU once you got here?
A: What surprised me about LSU are the far-reaching effects of the university. Because it is one of the biggest universities in Louisiana, it is impossible to drive anywhere in the state without seeing tigers and purple and gold flags on houses and cars. I didn't expect that spirit to extend beyond Baton Rouge.
Q: What is your favorite thing about LSU?
A: My favorite thing about LSU is the traditions of the school and the Tiger pride. From athletics to the arts, LSU excels and people here are genuinely proud to be a part of it.
Q: What are your goals and how is LSU helping you accomplish them?
A: My goals are to get involved in as many ways as possible and to graduate ready for my next step in the field of sport administration. From LSU Ambassadors to Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity, I have been able to jump right in to anything that interests me.

On the long and treacherous path from Hey, we should start a band! to Thank you, Cleveland!, arguably one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome is creating an amazing recording. Of course, that's why bands and labels shell out as much dough as they can muster for you to mix their record like a boss. Anything you can do to make your job simpler and your mixes better enhances your ability to deliver something truly stellar. Your monitoring system is key, and being able to cycle through your different speaker combinations effortlessly enhances your workflow and allows your creativity to shine. A sweet monitor management unit can help you take your art to the next level.
Switching between different monitor speakers can get annoying and tedious if you have to keep switching from your DAW to your hardware control app, clicking a few times. Rinse and repeat a million times per song and you've got a recipe for carpal tunnel syndrome. Not to mention all the time wasted futzing around. We can save your fingers and your sanity with one of our simple monitor switching units. Just turn the knob. Done.
But why stop there? We have a range of awesome monitor management units that give you incredible flexibility in how you monitor your mix playback. How about routing up all of your monitor sends, your talk back system, your headphones mix and your mains through a compact desktop unit that allows you to cycle every sub group through any of your monitor feeds individually and in combination? Sounds pretty good, right? Integrating a monitor management system into your rig streamlines your entire workflow. Now you can focus on nailing that mix without having to pause and click your fingers off every 30 seconds.
We stock an awesome variety of solutions so you can build your monitor management configuration as simply or as elaborately as you wish. In addition, we carry both digital and analog systems. Mixing inside the box? No problem - we have digital systems that actually integrate seamlessly with your DAW of choice. If analog is your game, we have fully analog switching and routing units as well as digitally controlled analog for ultimate flexibility.
For the project and home studio we have a great selection of desktop monitor units. These little guys are not to be underestimated. They pack in a ton of flexibility and powerful combinations far beyond simply flipping the switch from A to B. Most also include headphone outs so you can quickly slap on the cans when the neighbors start banging on the ceiling.
Every mix engineer has their own unique technique for building a mix. Monitoring features that one engineer can't live without would totally stymie another. For this reason there are nearly as many monitor management solutions are there are mix engineers. If you're having a hard time settling on a particular unit or feature set, give a call. Our Sales Engineers will listen to the details of your workflow and must-haves to help you find a monitor management unit that fits your style perfectly.
Sweetwater's Sales Engineers are regarded as the most experienced and knowledgeable professionals in the music industry, with extensive music backgrounds and intense training on the latest products and technologies. They are available to offer you personalized product advice any time you need it.

Charles Hanson Loves you and says welcome to my bar!
Originally from New Orleans, Charles came up to NYC in 1978 with the seminal NOLa Punk band "The Normals" as singer/guitarist/songwriter, after his band opened for the Ramones, Patty Smith, Iggy Pop, Link Wray, Robert Gordon, John Cale, Squeeze, B-52s, Talking Heads and finally the Police, where Ian Copeland (booking agent) Stuarts brother saw them and ask Mile Copeland (manager) again Stuarts bro to fly down to see them.
It was through Ian, Jim Fouratt and Iggy Pop/Ramones manager Danny Fields that shows were booked at CBGBs, Hurrahs, Max's Kansas City, Stone Pony, Pratt U and Maxwells. The bands music has recently been re-released and released for the first time, on Last Laugh Records out of Brooklyn.
Charles went on to form Phila 80's r&b/synth band "The Vels" as multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter, and signed to Mercury/PolyGram Records. Two albums and multiple 12 inch dance singles were released, including a 11 week, number 39 Bill Board dance charter "Look My Way". A video for the song was filmed in London and received air play on MTV.
Working as a NYC club soundman for 25 years at such clubs as Lime Lite, Cat Club, CBGB, Marquee, Woody's, Beowulff & Pyramid. Charles was hired by Acid Jazz pioneer promoters Groove Academy as house engineer for their weekly "Giant Step" night, toured extensivley with Groove Collective, was the house mix engineer for Jamiroquai's first show in the US, the recording of "Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool" and house sound for many, many Jazz legends.
Charles took up semi-professional bicycle racing during the Lance Armstrong era, working as a bike messenger as training. After a roof deck messenger party, Charles was hit by a limo. While laid up with a broken knee and shoulder, the idea of becoming a proffesional DJ first crossed his mind and as soon as he could walk, this he did, with success. It was while working as a DJ at the 169 Bar that the opportunity arose to purchase the bar and with the insurance money from the limo hit, he made it happen!! The rest is history!
Laissez les bons temps rouler!!

GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2) is a growth hormone secretagogue of the hexapeptide class. Sharing many similarities with GHRP-6, GHRP-2 is the first in this class of hormones, and in many circles, is considered the better choice between it and GHRP-6. It is not a hormone that is often used alone but is almost always used with a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) such as PEG-MGF. The compound may also be commonly found under the names Pralmorelin or GHRP Kaken 100. However, in most pharmaceutical and performance based circles, it has in recent years been most commonly referred to as GHRP-2.
GHRP-2 Functions and Traits
GHRP-2 first acts as a Growth Hormone (GH) increasing agent. Comprised of six amino acids, the peptide functions by stimulating natural GH production along with the production and release of ghrelin. The release of ghrelin is important as it also aids in boosting GH release in the body. With GHRP-2, this is accomplished by the peptide suppressing somatostatin, a hormone that limits the release of GH in the body.
As ghrelin is released, the body becomes hungry. GHRP-6 is well known for causing extreme increases in appetite, which may or may not be a problem depending on individual need or goals. GHRP-2 will release the same ghrelin in the body, but should not do so in a way that promotes such a significant increase in hunger. Some increase in appetite is unavoidable, but GHRP-2 does tend to have a far less impact on appetite than GHRP-6. In short, GHRP-2 aids in the promotion of natural GH production in the body, which carries with it numerous performance as well as health benefits for the user.
Effects of GHRP-2
The effects of GHRP-2 can be beneficial to the off-season athlete as it will help with growth. However, when used alone it is going to be a week choice. Off-season athletes will find growth enhanced when used with other performance-based items, and they will find such items are more effective with the presence of elevated levels of GH in the body. Equally important, the individual should be able to maintain a lower level of body fat that often increases during off-season periods of growth due to the necessary caloric surplus needed for muscular growth.
During a cutting phase is when the effects of GHRP-2 may be most beneficial due to increased levels of GH aiding tremendously with fat loss. Individuals with elevated levels of GH in the body provided naturally or otherwise will experience greater levels of fat loss. Due to the increased levels of hunger associated with use, although less than with GHRP-6, some users may find this bothersome. However, hunger is always part of dieting regardless of compounds used.
GHRP-6 is also useful to any athlete or individual on the basis of what elevated levels of GH mean to the human body. Elevated levels of GH carry with it numerous health and physical benefits and may be the primary tool in anti-aging plans. Those who possess higher levels of GH will find the following:
More Powerful Metabolism
· Increased Recovery (post training or any physical activity)
Improved Sleep
Stronger Immune System
Healthier Skin
Stronger Bones & Joints
· Increased IGF-1 (aides in recovery and affects nearly all cells of the human body)
Side Effects of GHRP-2
The side effects of GHRP-2 should not be severe if occurring at all for most individuals if the hormone is used responsibly. However, side effects of GHRP-2 are possible, although much milder than compared to many hormones.
· Estrogenic: Estrogenic side effects of GHRP-2 should not exist as the peptide does not cause any aromatization. However, gynecomastia in sensitive individuals, particularly those with preexisting gynecomastia is possible. High doses of GHRP-2 may increase prolactin significantly in sensitive men leading to prolactin based gynecomastia.
· Androgenic: There are no associated androgenic side effects of GHRP-2. Hair loss and acne are not possible. Virilization symptoms in women are not possible with this peptide.
· Cardiovascular: There are no negative cardiovascular side effects associated with GHRP-2. Many users may find their cardiovascular health improves with elevated levels of GH.
· Testosterone: GHRP-2 will not suppress natural testosterone production.
· Hepatotoxicity: GHRP-2 is not toxic to the liver and will produce no liver damage.
For those who use GHRP-2, the most common side effect will be an irritated injection site. This will normally remedy itself by finding new areas of the body to administer the peptide. Some users may also experience swollen ankles or wrist as well as carpel tunnel like symptoms when use first begins. Lowering the dose and easing into higher doses if necessary can normally remedy such issues. Some users may also find issues with blood sugar control and may need to adjust their diets accordingly. Such blood sugar issues may produce mild to severe headaches. Elevated levels of cortisol are also possible but are normally only associated with very high doses, such doses should be avoided.
