Companies want the "compliance police" to get more involved with process improvements and enterprise risk assessment, but they may be unprepared to make the change, E&Y research suggests.
David McCann, CFO.com | US
December 4, 2008
One has to wonder at the survey E&Y did---the results are certainly self-serving--coming to the conclusion that internal auditors can't do operational auditing. So--oh, guess what?--the external auditors now do internal auditing. Was there ever a better oxymoron? And the IIA (which is unlike the AICPA--members don't vote on changes) was complicit in making the change that allowed the externals to be both the internal and external auditors. The SEC put an end to the extreme Enron-style incest that resulted when the IIA redefined internal auditing (having been infiltrated by Big firm money), but outsourcing to external auditors is still alive and well as long as the same external CPA isn't doing both. As if that meant external auditors could do the job their johnny-come-lately "internal auditors" have magically learned how to do in the last decade. Any truly experienced internal auditor who was raised on Larry Sawyer has operational auditing in his/her bloodstream. You Big 4 internal auditors have read Sawyer, right? RIGHT???

Here one for the IIA Chief Advocacy Officer...Why has the IIA been slow to answer for the sins of the past? Just recently the IIA updated the Professional Practices Framework with a few sentence changes here and there and now it becomes global in scope? Or is this the way of increasing membership/revenue? Are these the tools expounded by the the Chief Advocacy Officer given by the professional organization to their auditors? The IIA for a long time passed on the opportunity to liason with organizations which would have given auditors cutting edge tools/information (i.e. with ISACA) but they chose not to professing the IIA as exclusive membership. Just recently they partnered with the ACFE because fraud was high on the public radar and did not want to miss that opportunity. The emphasis of the IIA is more tunned towards catering to outdated committee professional who are interested in the number of wine bottles ordered and drank at their gathering. IIA View: the name and affiliation of the professional is suppose to lend credibility to the value proposition added in IIA guidance. Isn't this the same value proposition given by the professionals at wall street which lead to their demise? The gist is that the IIA is antiquated and not robust enough to changing enviroments or policies (Is the IIA training auditors on the change to IFRS audits?). The IIA should be at the front of guidance and tools making sure the auditor is well equiped and not agreeing with the findings of an study that auditors fail in delivering to organizations. The individual auditor by IIA standards is left out in the battle field to best interpet IIA guidance and satisfy the organizations they serve. The tools and late enlightment of "auditors should have had this training" is not given by their professional organization. Test under fire is more the professional auditor.

Internal auditing,corporate governance and fraud risk management is a corner stone of many but a few organisations that would want their systems okayed and monitor for the good of the tax collecter,bankers,shareholders name but a few. Many organisations have employed professionals who are not qualified in internal auditing to which we can not blame the employer's decision to do so, but professional internal auditors should market their own profession and show that they add value to the institutions they serve. Any body can claim to be a professional internal auditor but with no requisite professional and academic degree in internal auditing shall be shallow in performance of audit work. Tone at the top should understand more to utilize internal auditing ,corporate governance and fraud risk management services found in the internal audit department to help organisations become outstanding in proper management of their resources. It has now become knowledgeable that most organisations in Europe,the US and South Africa's corporates should understand well the roles the internal auditing,corporate governance and fraud risk management services bring to their organisations. Professional Accountants have held these positions before,but what is happening is overwhelmingly shameful not with standing the rules and regulations, IFRS standards are well in place but the performance of CFO require alot more. THUS WHY THE PROFESSIONAL INTERNAL AUDITING,CORPORATE SERVICES AND FRAUD RISK MANAGEMENT should be taught moore in universities and colleges at under graduate and higher research degree qualifications to help decisions at the top to be more profitable to the organisations. Legislations have been mooted in many countries. Complimentary laws and regulations towards good management practices are in place, but many have not enacted internal audit laws as a requirement by all institutions including governments to help fight graft,compliances,risks and frauds. Internal auditng and corporate governance,are needed in Institutions to re invent the way they manage their resources from decisions in the boardroom down to the low level staff. Internal auditing would act as the link for the body corporates to understand from the roles of research degrees internal auditing. We hope that research profiles from the academia on these issues above on internal auditing,corporate governance and fraud risk management shall bring confidence in the corporate world to enhance best practices in the willing and good economies,while the third world shall learn from such admirable learning organisations or lag behind in their bid to fighting .

The problem with surveys is that you can read many things into them. I think that one of the changes occuring in business is the the increasing focus on corporate governance. Internal audit's role in this area is still evolving. However IA should have a greater role in enterprise risk assessment. This will naturally expand their role from being financial statement focused to being more business focused - including strategic, operational, regulatory (in addition to Sarbanes) - and corporate compliance. A payback from looking at new areas with fresh eyes is that potential improvements may be identified - however this should not be the highest priority. I suggest that the maturity level of many internal audit groups in the ERM is low, however I expect more focus in this area in th emid term.
Posted by Christopher Fox | December 09, 2008 11:20 am
No matter the intended focus of the auditor, much of the internal audit approach is often dependent on the maturity of the organization with respect to control structure, present compliance issues, present fraud, etc. It's very difficult to stay with Generation 3 and 4 Risk Based Auditing (Sobel: Auditor's Risk Mgmt Guide)of departments when present fraud or compliance issues are overwhelming the organization. My past experience in one organization was of an internal control and process improvement focus while at another was detecting and preventing widely prevalent fraud and voluminous compliance issues. Over time, we were able to move beyond that as proper internal controls were implemented. Carlos L Holt, CIA, CFE, CGAP
Posted by Carlos Holt | December 08, 2008 10:51 am
A properly organized and managed Internal Audit Department should go way beyond compliance audits. With very talented proactive professionals focused on (positive deliverables) to the organization, I built a successful program and was well rewarded by promotions. Compliance is important but don't stop there. Read about what we did at Phelps Dodge Corp in Managing the Audit Function, (by Cangemi & Singleton) now in a third Edition and Chinese translation. SOX is only focused on risks to financial reporting -- think more like IA should improve a company, control structure and beyond. Staff and train accordingly and there will be an ROI. Michael P Cangemi CPA, CISA

Most of the auditors I have come across are historical bean counters but when the beans are fried and toasted they are not really prepared to consider stir fry, bake or stew it. Thus, what I am really saying is the training of auditors and the recruitment of auditors with limited variables in the backgrounds make them rather myopic on what is happening on the ground or mainstreet. Further, I would like to include in their training the ability to sell an encyclopedia so that they have an inkling what the ups and downs of a business is like.
Posted by Jon Tay | December 04, 2008 01:34 pm
I have been doing operational auditing across all business functions since 1970. Compliance auditing is for the most part a joke. 15 minutes after you "fix" it. management has the ability to change it right back again or "fix" the policy to make it okay.

Elia Suleiman's Divine Intervention is a film that would seem to owe more to avant-garde choreography and the cinema of Michael Snow than to narrative film, were it not so insistently "about something" besides its structural ingenuity. Less schematic than Chronicle of a Disappearance, Suleiman's 1996 feature, Divine Intervention is similarly focused on the corrosive impact of political instability on social order and private life.
"The film isn't an historical or anthropological study," Suleiman says. "You don't come away with a geographic or political knowledge of that place but rather a sense of ambience. A lot of reactions have been self-reflective. In New York a woman told me, 'Your Nazareth is a lot like my Los Angeles.' In Montreal they felt they were seeing something of their own. If we talk about brutality, it's the ambience of brutality we're living in all over the world."

I've been lurking and doing some posting but I thought I'd drop by here and say hi!
Starting to shoot IDPA in the Tucson area with my 16-yr-old son. Fun stuff to do with a teenager. I tell him not to run with scissors then hand him a 1911 and tell him to run and shoot and reload and keep shooting (don't trip)!

Is this for EDC? I prefer carrying a separate flashlight (currently the SureFire E2D LED Defender.) This way I don't have to point my gun at something to shine a light on it. Frankly, it's a little easier to conceal my pistol without adding the light to it inside the holster. It's also easier to find a holster when I'm only trying to fit the normal gun without the light.
Just personal preference.

A must stop in Washington. Service could have been better. The waitress didn't quite know the beers we asked about. Food was good and a very impressive selection. Also, a great stop if you see a game at the MCI Center.
jbruner (261) Marietta, Georgia | June 4, 2017
In China town area of DC, and the store front looks like that, but the inside is dive bar supreme, with a patio in the middle where there is a thick cloud of smoke. Service was a bit slow, but I was there when it was busy, but from other reviews that seems to be often. Solid selection that reflected local and awesome stuff out there right now. I liked it.
bytemesis (975) Sunnyvale, California | October 23, 2016
Last stop of the last evening. This was a busy place, a bit hipster but not too terrible. Quite large inside, central bar with two levels of seating which is kind of cool. Prices reflect ambiance, a bit pricy. They did have flights of four for $15(!) and were pretty reasonable about serving them. Quite an interesting taplist meant finding four to try was easy.
rejtable (247) Ontario | May 10, 2016
Open, dark spot up from the Verizon center. Be fun on a game night. Was quiet when I was there. Service was fine. Selection was pretty big, but nothing crazy. Much like a Yardhouse type selection. Some really interesting bottles at reasonably decent prices.
kraddel (293) Antwerp, Belgium | February 13, 2015
Huge place that looks like a warehouse with some tables , turned into a bar . Good selection on tap , bottlelist is big but contains 50 % crap , next to some local beers that are obviously not bad , and some good crafts .... Friendly staff , regular prices . Worth a look
stevoj (332) Boise, Idaho | February 11, 2015
Place probably gets busy on the weekends and game nights, kind of quiet on a Tuesday. Nice selection of cans and taps. Beer centric, pub grub. Lots of local brews
cratez (256) Toronto, Ontario | January 4, 2015
When I visited: Late September 2014. What I had: Boulevard 80-Acre Hoppy Wheat Beer, Peak Organic Hop Harvest Oktoberfest, New Belgium La Folie Sour Brown Ale, and Tröegs Hop Knife Harvest Ale on tap, Fried Green Tomatoes and charcuterie board to split, Seafood Gumbo for me, entrée salad and several sauvignon blancs for my fiancé. What I liked: Outstanding draft list with a good mix of local/regional micros and nationally-distributed crafters, first-rate food, waitress provided great recommendations, we enjoyed our intimate table on the patio, reasonable prices, convenient downtown location. What I disliked: Somewhat of a sports bar vibe inside (patio is a different story), hostess was nowhere to be found when we first arrived so we had to wait a while for seats. Would I go back? Definitely. Despite its flaws RFD was one of the better spots that we hit in D.C. Overall Rating: 82
solidfunk (380) Washington D.C., Washington DC | June 4, 2014
I wandered into this place by accident with a worker for a beer and was surprised they had so many taps - must be one of the best for sheer tap number in the city. Only trouble is they waste a lot of the lines on boring beers - a lot of hefeweizens and such far on the list and nothing epic along the lines of Meridian Pint, Churchkey or the Pizza Paradisos. You can get tasters or samples of anything as well. Prices a little better than the other craft beer places on average. Good location in China Town. (More like China Block by the way, dont get excited about cheap markets or knock-off clothes).
sonnycheeba (176) Federal Hill, Baltimore, Maryland | September 12, 2013
Good location in the center of the city right next to the Verizon Center. Not much style and the place looks somewhat like a cafeteria. Table service was good even with the place filled with a happy hour crowd. Good number of taps, but only a few really special beers on. I do like that they offer sample-size pours of everything. Food was actually pretty good as well. Overall a solid place.
KPD (244) Michigan | May 26, 2013| Updated May 27, 2013
Stopped in for a couple beers nice place, had 35 taps decent selection. Nothing rare or unusual, miller lite for the uninitiated. Had some local DC brews that we tried and a Brooklyn I cant get, Reissdorf Kolsch. If you like seafood, legal seafood is a block down where we grabbed dinner. Good beer destination.
DCLawyer (211) Falls Church, Virginia | November 28, 2012
Crowded warehouse bar. Excellent beer selection, above average food.

A train crashed into a parade float carrying U.S. military veterans and their spouses in West Texas on Thursday, killing four people and injuring 17, police and parade organizers said.
Ten of the hospitalized were in critical condition and seven others were listed as stable, said Midland Police Chief Price Robinson.
Robinson said the Union Pacific train struck an open trailer carrying the veterans and their spouses as it was being pulled across the train tracks at around 4:30 p.m.
"It's hard to look at. It's a very tragic event, very unfortunate," Robinson said, speaking from the site of the accident.
The float was carrying veterans through Midland to a banquet in their honor, said Sonny Cleere, an organizer of the Hunt for Heroes event in San Angelo, Texas.
Hours after the accident, a float was still sitting near the train tracks, white poster board adorning the side and about a dozen empty chairs sitting on the trailer bed.
The parade kicked off a weekend of events, including the banquet and a hunting expedition, to honor wounded veterans, Cleere said. Those events have now been canceled.
A Union Pacific spokesman said the National Transportation Safety Board was involved in the crash investigation, and referred all questions to that agency. A spokeswoman for the NTSB said investigators were on their way to the scene.
Many of the 25 West Texas veterans being honored served multiple deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to biographies posted on a website created by event organizers. They were described as having been shot on the battlefield or wounded by improvised explosive devices.
Some described suffering traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of their deployments, the biographies said.
The Pentagon said in a statement that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who is traveling in Asia, "was deeply saddened by news of the tragic accident" involving the veterans and their spouses.
Tracy Scott, a Midland oilfield worker who did not witness the crash but arrived at the scene later, told Reuters the train did not derail, but continued to move roughly half a mile past where the collision occurred before coming to a stop.
Photos posted on the website of The Midland Reporter-Telegram showed a double-decker freight train stopped at the road crossing, with debris scattered around a flatbed trailer and chairs in disarray after tumbling off the parade float. Each chair had the name of a veteran below it.
A second flatbed truck carrying soldiers and spouses cleared the train tracks without being struck, police said.
Some of those aboard the trailer that was hit managed to jump off before the collision, police added.
Authorities did not immediately release the names of those injured or killed.

Right-wing bloggers hype made-up body scanner expansion
Blog ››› ››› CHELSEA RUDMAN
Right-wing media have been using recent headlines on TSA body scanners and pat-downs as an excuse to promote hysterical fears over the reach of "Big Sis," as internet gossip Matt Drudge refers to Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano. Now The Hill is trumping up such concerns with a false spin on a recent interview Napolitano gave PBS host Charlie Rose.
In a November 23 article titled, "Next step for body scanners could be trains, boats, metro," The Hill reviewed Napolitano's November 22 interview with Rose to claim that Napolitano is one politician "who's suggested the advanced scanning machines could be used in places beyond airports."
Right-wing bloggers immediately pounced on The Hill headline. Blogger Jim Hoft titled a November 23 post on his blog Gateway Pundit, "Good-Bye Freedom -- Hello Police State... Napolitano Announces Next Steps for Naked Scanners Involves Trains, Boats, Metro." A November 24 post on the conservative blog Hot Air claimed, "Now it looks like we'll be getting scanners all over the place, including public transportation, trains, and boats." Drudge posted a link to The Hill article as "BIG SIS: Next step for body scanners could be trains, boats, metro..." on the Drudge Report on November 24:
In fact, Napolitano never actually claimed that the DHS is considering expanding the use of body scanners to other forms of public transport. Bizarrely, The Hill article itself acknowledges this, noting at one point that "[Napolitano] gave no details about how soon the public could see changes in security or about what additional safety measures the DHS was entertaining."
Here's what Napolitano actually said during her interview with Rose (accessed through Nexis, emphasis added):
CHARLIE ROSE: You said a very interesting thing. Part of your job is to know what [terrorists will] be thinking in the future. So what will they be thinking in the future?
JANET NAPOLITANO: Well, I think they're going to continue to probe the system and try to find a way through. I think the tighter we get on aviation, we have to also be thinking now about going on to mass transit or to train or maritime. So what do we need to be doing to strengthen our protections there?
And then I think what we also, what we as a country need to be thinking about is what is the role in prevention. In other words, what is the process by which a young man in the United States goes from becoming radicalized to becoming radicalized to the point of leaving the United States to going to a camp somewhere for six months or whatever and then coming back with the intent of murdering his fellow citizens?
CHARLIE ROSE: So what do we know about that now?
JANET NAPOLITANO: I think that's where we need and can do more work. And when I speak with my colleagues in other countries, I think we all believe that understanding that process better is important.
Napolitano did talk about the body scanners and so-called enhanced pat-downs, but only to explain and defend their current use. She also briefly acknowledged that "there will be some tweaks or some changes as we go through...as we learn some things to improve the procedures." But, by the time she got around to discussing future threats to "mass transit or to train or maritime," the discussion had long since moved on from airport body scans.
So, The Hill could conclude, "Napolitano mentions DHS looking to mass transit safety," or even, "Napolitano defends DHS use of body scanners." But "Next step for body scanners could be trains, boats, metro" simply doesn't hold up.

A few days ago I turned 42.
Not a momentous age, but I took the occasion to make it momentous. I'm not usually a party person, but I went to a swanky birthday party for a dear friend whose birthday is the day after mine. We had a wonderful time, sipping cocktails and hobnobbing with friends. This was a rare occasion for my birthday, as I prefer to keep to myself and contemplate where I am in my life.
Taking stock once a year seems like a good idea; doing it on a birthday seems like the right time as well. In doing so I've come up with a few topics to prompt my contemplation and would like to share them – of course, they can be done anytime.
1. Define the decade you're in
This seems at first glance to be a self-involved practice, little more than navel-gazing. But I think it's important that we look at the stages in our adult life so we can find themes in each stage and bring overall meaning to our development.
I would characterize my 20s as the decade of finding my way. Unfortunately, much of that was through seeking approval from others. My 30s was the decade of relationship: a marriage, divorce, a renewed relationship with the church, and a post-anullment relationship that changed my path.
And my 40s?
It might be too soon to tell, but I think it's the decade of acceptance: of myself, my family, others. I spent much of 2011 working on accepting my true self, flawed but true. I want to be true to the person God wanted me to be. In accepting my family, I was confronted with the need to accept them at holiday time. I really need to let go of the past and see them for who they are now. I need to let them know more often that I love them. That's what I will work on this decade.
2. Look back over the past year
I think this is always good practice. Many people choose to do this around the new year, and many teachers I know do it in sync with the school calendar. I've done it at those times myself, but somehow on my birthday it feels the most personal.
What I do is take stock of the past 12 months: good, bad and otherwise. This allows me to gauge my progress, assess how I dealt with challenges, see if I've grown and developed and consider my achievements. I also try to determine how much of what happened over the year was my doing or if it was God's will. I think about how often I was unable to see God's will, what happened as a result of that, and what I needed to see.
I look for the lesson involved. This gives me a road map for the coming year. With all this information, I can move forward with a better sense of focus and intention.
I recently learned an excellent technique for making this thought process tangible. I made a pie chart of my life. Each slice of the pie was one area: professional development, spiritual engagement, personal relationships, family, financial stability, etc. (Anyone can choose any number of categories, and can categorize them in any way that works.) Your pie can have two slices or 20, depending on how much is going on for you.
Next is to think back over the past year. Rate your level of attention towards each category in light of your full potential to give yourself to that category. The center of the circle is 0 percent, while the perimeter of the circle is 100 percent. In other words, shade in each slice starting from the center towards the outer edge. How you rate yourself over the past 12 months is entirely up to you.
For instance, this year I made tremendous strides in my personal life and rated my year fairly high. I finally accepted my circumstances as they are: single, childless, less-than-perfect in looks and personality.
But I realized that the more time I spend thinking about what I lack, the less present I am for my daily life. And mindful presence is a worthy goal.
This was the first year I practiced mindfulness in my life outside of prayer. While I'd been doing Centering Prayer for quite some time, I hadn't practiced mindfulness in the areas of my life that needed it: eating, for instance, or spending time with friends. It really changed my whole approach to each day, and I am able to look back at the past year and see how being mindful allowed me to fully experience my own life in a more profound, complete way.
Speaking of prayer, I included spiritual engagement as one of the categories. In this area, as well as others, I did not use my full potential, so I have my work cut out for me this year.
Some things, namely, my writing, were at about very high (thanks in no small part to this blog). Others, such as spending time with family, were fairly low — less than half. My creative life — dance and visual art — was more than it had been in the past, but less than I'd like. I look forward to spending more time in museums and dance class over the upcoming months!
In doing this exercise, I realized how much I worked on myself over the year. I also came to an important life lesson: If I take care of myself, everything else in my life seems to get taken care of too. This is a huge insight for me, particularly because it goes against my upbringing, which taught me that my self-worth derives only from helping others.
Aside from the life lesson, it prepares me for what I need to focus on for the upcoming year. For instance, before my next birthday, I'd like to be able to say I saw my family more often. Any areas that are less than 50 percent, perhaps, could be worked on for the upcoming year. No one, of course, can give 100 percent to each category; but it's edifying to see what takes priority and what gets left behind.
Preparing for the upcoming year brings me to the next exercise:
3. Plan the next 12 months
As I mentioned two weeks ago, 2012 is the Year of Forgiveness. I will forgive myself for past transgressions, as well as those who hurt me in the past. I will let go of resentments and grudges. But in doing so, I'm hoping to make 2012 the year I connect to others in a more human way, with more compassion and empathy. By the time I turn 43, I hope my baggage is significantly reduced. We'll see what happens.
Some other goals I'd like to fulfill over the next 12 months:
- Full-time employment. A very kind and generous CatholicMatch member told me about St. Cajetan, patron saint of the unemployed. I have decided to do one novena per month to this saint, and even if I secure employment for myself, I will recite the novena for all those who are unemployed and under-employed.
- Dance in public more often. In the past, I'd been hesitant to perform at all, even though I practice almost daily. This is the year to perform; and I've already secured three events: one with my dance troupe and two solos. Despite the stage fright, I'm looking forward to it!
- Write more. Thanks to this blog, I've built a momentum. Now it's time to get back to my fiction and prose. I am applying for a writing grant that is open to Bronx residents. Here's hoping!
- Be gentler on myself. Even if I meet none of these goals, I will no longer see it as a failure. Cue the Year of Forgiveness!
I consider the yearly list as short-term goals. The final thing I like to do, in contrast, is think of the big picture.
4. Consider which long-term goals were met
A thought occurred to me just the other day: I am now the person who the 4-year-old me wanted to be. I became exactly who I wanted to be when I grew up, and I hadn't even realized it. It's a profoundly satisfying thought.
I distinctly remember thinking at 4 that I was meant to dance. And since 1997, I've danced regularly.
I seemed to be very attuned to the kind of dancer I wanted to be. At 5, someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I promptly answered, "Charo." Of course, I just liked her glittery costumes; I had no idea she was an accomplished Flamenco guitarist. But here's the thing: the form of dance I've been studying is the cultural precursor to Flamenco. What a prophecy that I've come this close to my childhood goal!
When I was 9, I decided to be a writer. Thanks to the immense generosity and kindness of a certain someone on the CM staff (namely Christina Ries) that dream has come true. I am eternally grateful to her, as is my 9-year-old self!
I've had a very rewarding career teaching, but that was not in my childhood wish list. I never once thought about being a teacher. When I was in college, my mentor suggested it, and I remember my first thought: "I wish I could teach college."
Well, 10 years after that, I got my wish. I now teach for the New York City University system, and I can easily say that this is truly my calling.
I've heard priests and other religious leaders say that if you want to know what God's will is for you, think back to what you wanted to be when you were little. It's so incredibly comforting to know that I am living out God's plan for me simply by being myself. This makes me more proud of myself than any other achievement.
Hopefully this series of exercises be helpful to some CatholicMatch members. It is my sincere hope that you will try it out (and be sure to let me know how it goes!) It's still January and the time for New Year's resolutions!

Nitric oxide supplements have recently become a staple in the supplement industry, becoming very popular with athletes and especially bodybuilders. Nitric oxide products are known to induce great pumps, increase vascularity and blood flow through the body, and great increases in muscle size. Increased muscle endurance, quicker muscle recovery and even enhanced sexual performance can be credited to the use of nitric oxide supplements also. Nitric oxide is produced in the body when the amino acid arginine is broken down. Arginine is a common ingredient in all nitric oxide supplements due to the fact that nitric oxide is produced from the breakdown of arginine. Nitric Oxide is a gas that comes from the inner lining of blood vessels. Check the two online stores below where you can buy NO online at.
Best Supplement Stores Online
Below are my two favorite stores for buying nitric oxide supplements online – check them out:
#1 – BodyBuilding.com
You will find weekly deals and coupons for a variety of different brands which will save you even more money from their already extremely low prices!
Muscle and Strength is quickly gaining grounds on BodyBuilding.com as they match their fast delivery of the supplements, and also have very low prices.
Nitric Oxide (NO) Products:
Hemodraulix Review (8 out of 10)
Hemavol Review (9.5 out of 10)
General Nitric Oxide Information
The sign of a good nitric oxide product is a great pump. The pump is increased blood flow in the muscle groups you're working and muscle fullness and definition you feel during intense weight lifting sessions. Increasing the blood flow to your muscles also increases the amount of nutrients and oxygen reaching your muscles. The extra production of nitric oxide is not a long term effect, usually the effects will diminish after an hour or two, depending on how much you take and how long it takes for the arginine to breakdown. Nitric oxide essentially is a gas and it cannot be stored in the body for later use. This is why it's crucial to take nitric oxide supplements about 15-30 minutes before your workout to ensure you get the most out of it.
Nitric oxide is also used as a neurotransmitter as it signals the blood vessels to expand and in turn making your muscles work harder. There are no documented side effects of Nitric Oxide itself, but depending on the supplement your taking some side effects may occur. In pre workout supplements containing excessive magnesium, diarreah may occur. Nausea and headaches are a rarely occring side effect when too much arginine is taken.
If you are looking for an extra edge and to hit that next level of fitness, nitric oxide may be what your looking for. The reviews are in, and nitric oxide supplements are too. Ultimately if you like to life heavy, if you chase the pump and if you want to get bigger and stronger, you might want to try nitric oxide if you haven't yet.

The X Games
While Ocala isn't exactly known as a surfing hotspot, one high school student is gearing up, for a competition that will be making waves.
Derek Thomas was born without part of one leg but that doesn't keep him from surfing. July 19th, he will be participating in a surfing competition called the X-games.
Derek Thomas says," My mom got me a board a long time ago before i had a water proof prosthesis, I would just go out on my stomach and ride the waves and i guess it started from there."
Derek's mom Natascha Thomas says, "At first we thought, how is he going to be able with his prosthetic? However, as he's done all his life, convinced us he could do anything he wanted."
The X-games are being held in Orlando, which is not exactly a surf hot spot either. This competition is held at a giant wave pool at Disney World called Typhoon Lagoon. This is the first year there is a surfing competition and the first year Derek will be competing.

We caught up with former Johns Hopkins and current LXM Pro star Kyle Harrison along with one of LXM 610's featured artists Reef from Fortune Family to talk about the Sunday, October 9th event at Radnor High School in Philadelphia.
The one-day all-inclusive professional lacrosse festival will again feature a showcase game between forty of the top professionals in lacrosse, clinics with the pros and live musical performances from some of Philadelphia's hottest up-and-coming artists. Shutting down this year's Philly event will be performers OCD Moosh & Twist, featured on an Inside Lacrosse/GoodMusicAllDay.com mixtape, and Fortune Family, performing for the second year in a row at their alma mater.
Below, take a quick listen to the podcast as I spoke with LXM Pro Founder and player Kyle Harrison and Reef from Fortune Family as they are getting ready for the upcoming Philly event this weekend.
LXM PRO is back at Radnor High School on Sunday, October 9th. The all day event features a pro lacrosse game, live music, a vendor village, and a clinic given by the best in the game for local players of all ages and skill levels. This is the most exciting and unique event in lacrosse. Come watch the biggest names in the sport compete in an electric atmosphere. All inclusive tickets on sale for just $20!
LXM PRO is excited to announce the addition of Mikey Powell to the LXM 610 roster. Powell is considered by many to be the top player in lacrosse history. During his decorated career at Syracuse he was named 4x NCAA Attackmen of the Year, four-time first-team All-American, and two-time Tewaaraton Award winner; Powell is also the all-time leading point-scorer for the Orange.
LXM 610 will feature Team STX West vs. Team Cascade East. Team STX will be led by Kyle Harrison, Shamel and Rhamel Bratton, Chazz Woodson, Brett Hughes, Brendan Corp, Lewis Ratcliff, and local Philadelphia products Max Ritz and Kyle Wimer.
Team Cascade features an explosive attack unit, bolstered by the addition of Mikey Powell, who will play alongside Zack Greer, Sean Morris, and Matt Alrich. Sean Lindsay, Greg Peyser, Thomas Muldoon, and DJ Andrzejewski will lead the midfield. Tom Garvey, Matt Drenan, and local products Brett Moyer and Brian Kelly, along with goalie Alex Hewit, will anchor the defense.
Tickets for LXM PRO are available at www.lxmpro.com.
In addition, LXM PRO will launch a new website this fall and announce the 2012 dates at the Oct. 9 event.
If you'd like to learn more about LXM PRO please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Fortune Family, hailing from the suburbs of Philadelphia, is a hip-hop duo made up of Reef and Hobson. With Hobson at the helm of production, FF embodies a unique style of sample-based instrumentals combined with lyrics that are at times fun and easy going and at other times poignant, potent and deliberate.
Their latest mixtape, Paradox, features their most popular song, "Take Me Away," which is a perfect embodiment of their ability to mix genres. As the Fam continues to make moves, be sure to look out for them on a campus near you.
Check out and interact with Fortune Family on Facebook and on Twitter.

Took a few pics during last weekends field trip to a WWII vintage Victory ship. These are 20mm Oerlikon machine guns, and the ship had at least eight in various states of completeness.
Technically the wartime ones all used 60 rnd drum magazines, this one below has a later era beltfeed adaptor and chutes...Check out the size of the ammo cans !
Too bad they are over .50 and fall into the DD category. (Not that I've seen a parts kit yet) Oh, I have posted some more pics of these in the Image Gallery, under Member galleries - Rocster

Abe Nunez as Stormtrooper - Is anything more pitiful than an Imperial Stormtrooper. A bunch of clones in white plastic outfits whose general purpose seems to be getting killed. And not just by Jedi or Rebel fighters...freaking Ewoks kicked their ass. And they might actually be the only group of people to hit less than Abe Nunez. Has any of their laser blasts ever hit anyone? Just pitiful.
Willie Randolph as Grand Moff Tarkin - Tarkin was a high ranking regional governor and within the Empire may have had the most power outside of Palpatine and Vader. He rode the Death Star like John Wayne rode a horse. But like Wikipedia says, his "fatal underestimation of his enemy allows Luke Skywalker to fire proton torpedos against the reactor powering the Death Star, causing a catastrophic detonation." From all-powerful, unbeatable Death Star to defeat at the hands of the hated enemy. Only Willie Randolph could manage a collapse like that.

All these suggestions for Utley to be included in this Phillies Wars parody...c'mon, you act like he's good or something. Seriously Chase isn't all that great, not great enough to name your son after...oh wait, scratch that.
Corey controlled the power of naming rights to the players and their roles in the Star Wars...but I feel he did a damn good job even with the omission of Chutley.

'With the 59th overall pick the Sabres selected Drew Schiestel from Mississauga of the OHL. Schiestel is 6'1" and weighs in at 181 pounds. Last season with Mississauga he recorded 6 goals and 15 assists in 66 games played. Next season Sabre fans won't have to travel far to see him as the Mississauga IceDogs have moved to St. Catharines and will be called the Niagara IceDogs.'

Sabres Go Defense With Second Round Picks
Sabres open draft by selecting D Brennan 31st
'The first pick of the second round and 31st overall, Brennan was the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's rookie of the year last season, playing for St. John's. He led rookie defensemen with 41 points (16 goals, 25 assists) in 68 games.'
Sabres tried to trade up
'General Manager Darcy Regier revealed to The Buffalo News he had contacted the Chicago Blackhawks about trading the No. 1 choice so the Sabres could select South Buffalo native Patrick Kane. "I talked to them to ask them what they were going to do, whether they were going to select or trade," Regier said. "They felt they were going to select, so I'll leave it at that. I'm not going to comment further. It was a good conversation. That's all."'
Sabres prepared to shop 2nd-round pick
'"I'm curious to see what will happen," Regier said. "I actually think there'll be some activity on the pick. I expect to get some calls."'
These five free agents will garner the most buzz
'Daniel Briere, Sabres…Chris Drury, Sabres…'
Sabres seeking to add picks
'"The preference for us would be to collect as many picks as we can with each year. That's how our team has been built and will continue to be built, through the draft."'
No-touch gloves are off for restricted free agents
'They have six restricted free agents and gave qualifying offers to five — Thomas Vanek, Derek Roy, Daniel Paille, Nathan Paetsch and Andrew Peters. Vanek is probably the most attractive Group II player in the NHL. The 23-year-old scored 43 goals last season, and he possesses an upside that could entice teams to investigate his availability. Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier plans to address unrestricted free agents before negotiating with Group II players. If he spends heavily in the unrestricted market, a team might make a push for Vanek knowing it would force a numbers crunch at HSBC Arena.'
Sabres extend qualifying offer to Vanek, four others
'The Sabres, who operated at the $44 million cap last year, have the right to match any offer, but they are also addressing the futures of co-captains Chris Drury and Daniel Briere, who are both eligible to become unrestricted free agents July 1.'
Sabres extend offers to Vanek, four others
'Vanek notched 43 goals last season and added 41 assists to finish with 84 points, second on the team behind Daniel Briere. His goal total tied for the fifth-most in the league last season.'
Sabres extend qualifying offers to five players
'Two independent sources have told LGS this week that it appears more than likely that Chris Drury's days in Buffalo are over. Both sources believe Drury is looking to test the open market. And according to both sources, there is very strong reason to believe that the center will most likely wind up on the Pacific Coast where his offseason home is located.'
Fixing the Game: 10 ways of making the NHL better
'Phase out the fights…'.
Roy among 5 Sabres issued qualifying offers
'Roy is projected to command a significant raise over the $690,000 offer he received after scoring career-highs with 21 goals and 63 points in his third season. The offer is 10 percent above what he made last year.'
A coach in waiting?
'Cunneyworth was credited for preparing a number of his American Hockey League players for the NHL's Buffalo Sabres, when injuries threatened to ruin Buffalo's playoff drive. Such players as Drew Stafford and Michael Ryan didn't look out of place when called up to the big club. And conversely, while his players were producing elsewhere, Cunneyworth juggled 41 players, who suited up for the Amerks throughout the season.'
Sabres make offers to five
'The Sabres also made offers to forwards Derek Roy, Andrew Peters and Daniel Paille, and defenseman Nathan Paetsch.'
If I was Sabres GM for a day…
'To me, keeping them actually starts with Thomas Vanek, the 23- year-old winger who scored 43 goals last season. He's a restricted free agent, meaning the Sabres would need to match outside offers to retain him. It's difficult to measure where he fits in a fluid market, especially because a handful of GMs lose their marbles at this time of year. So let's not give them a chance and risk losing, gulp, all three.'

AMY GOODMAN: Well, we're seeing these mass protests in Madison, Wisconsin, and there's other protests that are happening. We see the working poor, the middle class, under tremendous stress, and yet they're the ones who are being hit hardest, not Wall Street. Explain what has happened. Why isn't Wall Street in jail?I should note that I recently purchased Taibbi's new book, Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America, so you can expect to see some quotes from the book showing up here in the weeks to come. Of course, before I get to Griftopia, I'm working my way through Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.
MATT TAIBBI: Well, it's an incredible story. I mean, just to back up and provide some context, I think, for this Wisconsin thing, and especially for the Ohio thing, given what their governor used to do for a living—
AMY GOODMAN: Explain.
MATT TAIBBI: Well, he was an employee for Lehman Brothers, and he was—
AMY GOODMAN: This is Governor Kasich.
MATT TAIBBI: Governor Kasich, yeah, and he was intimately involved with selling—getting the state of Ohio's pension fund to invest in Lehman Brothers and buy mortgage-backed securities. And of course they lost all that money. And this, broadly, was really what the mortgage bubble and the financial crisis was all about. It was essentially a gigantic criminal fraud scheme where all the banks were taking mismarked mortgage-backed securities, very, very dangerous, toxic subprime loans, they were chopping them up and then packaging them as AAA-rated investments, and then selling them to state pension funds, to insurance companies, to Chinese banks and Dutch banks and Icelandic banks. And, of course, these things were blowing up, and all those funds were going broke. But what they're doing now is they're blaming the people who were collecting these pensions—they're blaming the workers, they're blaming the firemen, they're blaming the policemen—whereas, in reality, they were actually the victims of this fraud scheme. And the only reason that people aren't angrier about this, I think, is because they don't really understand what happened. If these were car companies that had sold a trillion dollars' worth of defective cars to the citizens of the United States, there would be riots right now. But these were mortgage-backed securities, it's complicated, people don't understand it, and they're only now, I think, beginning to realize that they were defrauded.
AMY GOODMAN: Explain what the crime is. Who has profited? Who should be on trial?
MATT TAIBBI: Well, you know, again, the broad crime in all of this was just fraud. They were taking—these banks were taking, again, these subprime mortgages, and they would have these billion-dollar pools of mortgages where, in some cases, 70 or 80 percent of the loans were to people who had no identification or no jobs or who had put no money down into the mortgage. And then they were taking these loans and applying this phony baloney, hocus pocus math, these derivative instruments, and turning them into AAA-rated investments. And they were marketing, again, these securities to, say, state pension funds as AAA-rated investments, which means credit risk almost zero. So they took the stuff that they knew was very, very risky and very, very likely to default, and they were going to the state of Wisconsin, the state of Ohio, the state of New York, and saying, "Hey, this is almost as safe as—or in fact, it is as safe as United States Treasury bonds. You should buy this, and you'll earn a little bit more than you'll earn if you buy T-bills." The reality was, they were just taking absolutely worthless stuff and sticking it with these people and then fleeing the scene. This is no different than drug dealers who take a bag of oregano and sell it to you as, you know, a pound of weed. That's exactly the same scam...

Looking forward to the quotes. I saw this interview the other night and as usual it made me so mad I couldn't think straight - which is why I end up not posting about these outrages as much as I would like to. Nobody wants to read me saying F#@K^%# B@$#@%$ etc. for twenty minutes.ReplyDelete
But seriously, how is it that these "people" are not yet indicted or in prison? How? Why? I want to understand and there seems to be nothing there TO understand.

Waratahs prop Al Baxter could emerge from the NSW bench to win his first Australian jumper in Saturday's Bledisloe Cup decider.
Veteran front-rowers Patricio Noriega and Glenn Panoho were hampered by injury at the Wallabies' Coffs Harbour camp yesterday. To compound Australia's forward problems, No. 8 Toutai Kefu is still rated no better than a 50-50 chance of playing against the All Blacks in Auckland.
Dynamic back-rower Kefu has recovered from his bruised spine, sustained in a late tackle during Australia's win over South Africa, only to endure a new injury - a calf strain.
"Kef trained lightly today, we're reasonably optimistic he's going to be right to play but he'll have to train tomorrow," Wallabies coach Eddie Jones said.
It would be a huge blow if the Australians lost the experience of vice-captain Kefu for such a big game, but the 29-year-old Queenslander remained optimistic of playing.
"I rate myself a good chance of playing . . . it's a bit tight still but the medical staff are sure that I should be right by tomorrow," Kefu said yesterday.
Quitting international rugby after the World Cup to play in Japan, the 59-Test veteran does not want to be a passenger in his last overseas Test, but is desperate to play in the Bledisloe game.
"I really want to play, it's our biggest game so far. If I'm only 90-95 per cent right I probably still will play because we've got seven to eight weeks off after this . . . but I don't think, if I can't do the sessions, that I'll be given extra time," Kefu said.
Australia's deteriorating prop forward situation suddenly became acute when the 26-year-old Baxter was summoned to the Wallabies' camp for scrummaging practice after winning widespread praise from coaches during the Sydney club competition.
Noriega, 31, who displaced Baxter in the Waratahs team, has a groin strain and Jones sounded anything but optimistic when he spoke yesterday afternoon.
He said: "I wouldn't hazard a percentage of his chances of playing, but he will need to train tomorrow."
Panoho, 32, the sturdy 120-kilogram Queenslander of 20 Tests, is less seriously injured. He has a bruised thigh from his club football in Brisbane.
Asked if he was tense with the Test so near and Australia having to beat the All Blacks to retain the Bledisloe Cup after its 21-50 loss in Sydney last month, Jones replied: "Yes, it's good. That's what it is supposed to be like in the week leading up to a Test against New Zealand."
Jones described Al Baxter as "a good, young lad", and everything points to him accompanying the Wallabies to New Zealand tomorrow.
In jest, Jones mentioned NSW's newly appointed coach and 1991 World Cup-winning tight-head Ewen McKenzie as the standby prop if both Noriega and Panoho were ruled out.
One prop he should keep in mind in the emergency is discarded Waratah and 14-Test front-rower Rod Moore, who played the best game for Eastwood his club coach of three years, Chris Hickey, has seen from him.
Moore scrummaged powerfully against Northern Suburbs' giant Tongan representative prop, Tonga Lea'aetoa, as well as bringing off some strong midfield tackles.
David Lyons would logically replace Kefu as he is a similar burly, running back-rower in broken play, but George Smith is also in contention for the position.
If Smith's ball skills and mobility win him the No. 8 jumper, Lyons would still be in the running for the blindside flanker's role with Owen Finegan.
NZ's coach John Mitchell barred the media from watching his team's training yesterday, but the expectation is that he will restore his key World Cup forwards, tight-head Greg Somerville, lock Chris Jack, hooker Keven Mealamu and open-side breakaway Richie McCaw.
Mitchell rested the quartet along with loose-head Dave Hewett from the team that defeated the Springboks 19-11 at Carisbrook last weekend.

please no afternoon draft
it will be my last weekend for a tee off time
7:30pm is perfect. The day games will be over and we can finish before the Sunday nighter. NFL!
Two years away...
Alright, Sunday October 27th @7:30pm, unless we get a majority objection.
And as stated above, the Keeper Deadline is 1 Week before Draft; thus Keeper Deadline is Sunday October 20th @5pm.

Joey, i got the league invite that you sent but when i click join league I am hit with an error that reads "A team cannot join this league; the teams have been finalized by the commissioner" ... any thoughts?
Ya I see that ... Not sure why that is ... What the hell is going on with Yahoo this season ... seems super buggy.
ADD Should be fixed now. Try again.

I never got an invite...
Two years away...
Is anyone in the Keeper League interested in joining the Dynasty League? Apollo's team is up for grabs. Send me a PM or respond on here if you're interested.
If we can't do a draft time that's more Europe friendly I'm out. Same goes for Xixak joining one of both leagues, as he's one of the main reasons I haven't been on for a long time. He's a vile person. But that's ok. Up to you guys. If I'm out of keeper league, better not get a new owner for my team, but throw it in the draft as it's the clear favorite to win this year.
Though, could be that all my guys are injured, haven't checked any basketball news in almost 2 months...
I would think that 1pm eastern would make it so everyone from BC to Europe should be able to make it (late morning to early evening).
As for Xixak, I'm not a fan either but he was banned and since he has come back he has been much more civil and actually offers up some good discussion. The only real person he tends to be a dick with is me - but that could be well deserved. Anyways, I was just throwing it out there.

Jetty licences
About jetty licences
The Jetties Act 1926 (WA) defines a jetty as any structure connected to a body of waters that, wholly or in part, may be used for the purpose of launching or landing a vessel.
This includes:
- Wharves.
- Piers.
- Grids.
- Slips.
- Landing places.
- Stages.
- Platforms.
- Ramps.
- Fixed or floating structures.
- Erected or placed structures.
All jetties require a licence. This is to ensure that the jetty meets all safety and maintenance standards, and does not interfere with navigation.
Types of jetty licences
There are 3 types of jetty licences:
- Commercial jetty licence: issued to businesses or for commercial activities.
- Private jetty licence: for domestic and recreational by the applicant and family only.
- Public jetty licence: issued to a public body for use by the general public.
Public liability risk
A jetty licence does not restrict public access to areas that the public would have had access to before the licence was issued; for example, a foreshore reserve.
Licensees should be aware of the public liability risk of having a jetty and the indemnity provided under the licence. You may wish to obtain public liability and other relevant insurance for their jetty.

Issue of jetty licences
Once an application is submitted, the Department of Transport will consult with other relevant authorities before issuing a licence, depending on the location of the jetty and the local policies that may apply. These include:
- Department of Environment Regulation.
- Swan River Trust.
- Local government.
Note: After receiving a jetty licence, you may still need to obtain any other relevant development or building approvals from these authorities.
Licence dates
The commencement date for a new jetty licence will be either:
- Date construction commences.
- Date the licence is issued.
- Proposed future date for commencement of construction.
The renewal date for a new jetty licence will normally be a continuation of the previous licence's annual renewal date.

By David Selk, zoo horticulturist
Here is a list of what plants are of note on zoo grounds this month. Actually I am combining two months because there is little blooming and those that are will last for several months. Most of these plants can be found in several spots in the zoo but the most reliable and easiest to find is what is given here. The warm season flowering has finished but the winter blooming plants are beginning. These plants tend to have fragrant flowers, as they need every trick to lure the very scarce pollinators this time of year. They also tend to bloom for extended periods for this reason as well as the cool weather. I have listed plants that are showing colorful fruit as well. Listed here are the most noteworthy:
Throughout the African Savanna is a broadleaf evergreen shrub that has both the fruit from last year and this year's flowers. It is the strawberry bush, Arbutus unido. Look for the small inverted urn-shaped flowers that tell you it is a member of the heath family (Ericaceae). This is a well-represented family in the Pacific Northwest containing many familiar plants such as salal, pacific madrona, blueberries, huckleberries, heaths, heathers as well as rhododendrons and azaleas. Also check out the area near the giraffe driveway off the main loop path. There are clusters of native African herbs with whorls of orange flowers along the stem. This is Leonotis leonurus and goes by many common names including lion's ear, lion's claw, lion's tail, wild dagga, wildedagga or duiwelstabak (Africans), or imvovo (Zulu). It is a member of the mint family (feel the square stems) and is native the grasslands of South Africa.
In the Elephant Forest as well as other tropical zones are Sarcococca hookeriana and S. ruscifolia. The former has black berries and the latter dark red. Both of these Chinese natives are in bud and will open soon to emit a lovely fragrance. Also in this area, look for the Japanese aralia, Fatsia japonica. This plant is usually noticed for its large, palm-shaped leaves but this time of year there are clusters of small white flowers at the growing tips.
In front of the Australasia building are some small Hebe 'Patty's Purple. This New Zealand native has purple flowers along the stems.
Everyone is now noticing the beautyberry, Callicarpa bodinieri native to China. Now that the leaves have fallen off all that remains are the clusters of small purple berries. A good place to see them is around the benches across from the tiger exhibit.
A very special plant to take note of, Grevillea victoriae, is starting to bloom and will continue all winter in the Australasia zone. A good example of it is at the east end of the path in the open-dry section of the landscape. This Australian native has clusters of pinkish-orange flowers hanging from the ends of the branches. Take a close look at the flowers. What look like petals are actually the sepals (modified leaves that protect the flower before it opens and collectively comprise the calyx) that are fused into a tube that, when the flower is ready, split into four segments that curl back to expose the pistil (female part of the flower). It also demonstrates an interesting aspect of some flowering plants. Grevilleas are protandrous, which means the pollen (containing male reproductive cells) is released before the stigma (tip of the pistil that and what receives the pollen) is receptive. This helps prevent self-fertilization. Nearby is Grevillea 'Canberra gem' blooming, a much lower plant having small needle-like leaves.
In Jaguar Cove where the path leads down to gorillas is a vine growing out of the high planters. It is winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) native to China. Look for bright yellow flowers. Further down the path almost to the gorilla day shelter on the left is a tall shrub leaning over the path. In December it will soon be sporting a bright yellow spike of small flowers. This is Mahonia bealei, the same genus as our Oregon grape.
The viburnums are starting their winter show. Look for leatherleaf viburnum (Viburnum rhytidophyllum) in front of the Rain Forest Food Pavilion; David's viburnum (V. davidii) at the main loop intersection south of Zoomazium; double-file viburnum (V. plicatum 'tomentosum) and Viburnum bodnantense with its rosy fragrant flowers near the Activities Resource Center.
Across the path are small bushes with small leaves that are spiky and the plant has lavender berries. This is Pernettya mucronata native to the Straits of Magellan in Chile.
On the way towards keeper central on the west side of the path are the winter blooming Camellia sasanqua. There are both white and pink varieties.
Check the native snowberry (Symphoricarpos albas) with white berries around the beech tree in the South Plaza.
As I said, there is not a lot blooming these days but what's there is choice. Enjoy the changing season.

Especially because it's Eric doing the server switch. This place is his baby and he actually cares about fellow runners...and isn't out to make a buck.
Running ... just keep running! Fancy a holiday running in the French Alps?
