Day 2 in Ryan Ferguson's hearing for a new trial brought a forensic pathologist to the stand.
Dr. Larry Blum said an autopsy showing Columbia Daily Tribune sports editor Kent Heitholt died of strangulation and a blow to the head suggests the murder was not motivated by robbery. This questions the theory from police that Heitholt was killed during a robbery. On top of that, Ferguson's attorney said former medical examiner Eddie Addelsteen missed some evidence because he wasn't trained in forensics.
Witness Jerry Trump also appeared in court. A video of his testimony was played Monday, but the judge decided he wanted Trump to deliver his testimony in person.
Trump was a janitor at the newspaper when Heitholt was killed. He originally identified Ferguson and his accomplice Chuck Erickson to officials, but now he says former Boone County prosecutor Kevin Crane coached him into identifying the two. "I told police that I could not identify the two individuals," Trump said in the video.
Trump is now a key role in the defense's case for getting Ferguson a new trial.
"The sole evidence tying Mr. Ferguson to the crime was the testimony of Charles Erickson and the identification of Jerry Trump," said Kathleen Zellner, Ferguson's lawyer. "A great deal of our evidence will focus on the recantation of those two witnesses."
All week various witnesses will take the stand as the defense aims to convince the judge that Ferguson deserves a new trial. Ferguson himself will not take the stand, but Erickson will. He's scheduled to speak Wednesday.
Ferguson is serving 40 years behind bars. Erickson has 25. The push for a new trial started when Erickson changed his story. He said he alone killed Heitholt and Ferguson was not involved.

I can't seem to find a good answer for this..
there's common knowledge to how carbs and proteins get metabolized. Carbs break down to glucose eventually, raising blood sugar, signaling insulin, etc.
Proteins break down to aminos, and also cause a smaller raise in blood sugar and therefore insulin... then insulin jams both into muscles, fat.. though carbs can be stored in liver as the case with fructose.
what about fat?
do healthy sources of fat like monounsaturated/polyunsaturated fat get into the blood stream to be used as energy? or do they, as I would expect, simply get stored as fat?
I have no problem making sure I get my "essential" fatty acids like omega 3s, but i'm starting to wonder what real benefit there is to having a bunch of peanut butter, olive oil, etc, when I don't think the body is going to use it as energy if I'm having carbs as well.
I'm starting to think I'd do just fine with the trace-fats found in my lean proteins (i have plenty of lean beef), my carbs (even whole wheat has some fat), and supplemented omega 3s or just fish. any thoughts?

Port-au-Prince is the capital and largest city of Haiti. UnderstandThe city is large and bustling, starting very early in the mornings. There's been a lot of rebuilding and new construction since the 2010 earthquake, but in some places you may see rubbles or small tent cities. There is a large expat community as well, mostly aid workers and the like. There are a number of good places to eat and places to sleep, especially in the wealthy suburb of Pétionville but also in Port-au-Prince proper. Get inBy planePort-au-Prince airport (PAP) is served by several major airlines primarily American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta as well as smaller flights from the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and other spots in the Caribbean. Taxis from the airport to your destination in Port-au-Prince will be about $20 for standard fare. Try to bargain down to $15. Tap Taps going to all places past the airport will cost about 10 gourdes ($0.25) and a community-created route map can be found here: http://taptapmap.org By trainThere are no trains. By carBy busFrom Santo Domingo: Caribe Tours, Capitol Coach Line and Terra Bus each run very modern buses daily to Port-au-Prince, each of the 3 companies departing from their own station along Av. 27 de Febrero. Caribe runs to Pétionville (in the hills above Port-au-Prince) that leaves at 11:00 am. Most all tickets currently cost $40 one-way, plus serious tax/border fees of about $26 and 100 DR, depending on the direction. Unfortunately, Caribe Tours' bus drops you off in Pétionville after dark so make prior arrangements with a trustworthy person to meet you and transport you to your lodging. Another, less expensive option, is to take a guagua (Dominican minibus) from Santo Domingo departing 4 blocks NW of Parque Enriquillo, just W of Av Duarte, from a small parking lot within the elevated expressways of Espresso 27 de Febrero). http://horariodebuses.com suggests guava buses leave every 45min, but this is not always the case. Price is 400 DR (about $10, 5+ h permits a quick rest/meal stop) and arrive in the border town of Jimani. From there it is a 4 km walk or a 50+ DR ride by motoconcho to the border post. The border is apparently open 08:00-18:00 (if it respects its times). In the past it was very easy to cross the border without submitting to any immigration procedures on either side, and although probably illegal, saved a few dozen dollars on bribes and was much faster too. Things are changing: passport control is now generally required leaving the DR, not just entering the DR. Entering Haiti legally is quick: fill out the green form and pay whatever amount the official asks (around 100 DR). There are no ATMs at the border. Moneychangers give gourdes for Dominican and American currency. Rates are fair. Protect Haiti's small green card in your passport, allowing you to leave Haiti without risking a penalty. There's usually plenty of local transportation from the border to Port-au-Prince. Crowded tap-taps and buses can take you to Croix-des-Bouquets for about 75 gourdes (1-2 h), from where it is another hour to Port-au-Prince (bus, 5+ gourdes per route, summary network map @ http://taptapmap.org). Road ranges from very bad to good, and is prone to flooding. Peruvian UN soldiers at the border have confirmed that the road to Port-au-Prince is safe to travel with no incidents of robbery or kidnappings, but definitely try to arrive in Port-au-Prince before dark. By boatGet aroundTap-taps run along prescribed routes throughout the city. Most routes cost 10 gourdes ($0.25), though to get across the city you may need to utilize multiple routes, each of which charges separately. Taxis typically are about 500 gourdes and should be used only during daylight. After dark, prices rise substantially, and you are at substantially greater risk for being mugged. See
Often there will be roadside vendors as well selling really nice handmade crafts. There are some near the UN base and on the Pan-American Highway. BankingThere are at least two banks with ATMs: Scotiabank and Sogebank. The closest Scotiabank to downtown is at the intersection of Boulevard Jean-Jacques-Dessalines and Rue Pavée. Even the ATM is closed on Sundays. Banks here close very early, even on the weekdays. EatEating out in Port-au-Prince is surprisingly expensive. Even at modest restaurants a full plate of food will usually cost around 200 gourdes. A good amount of food from street vendors will even cost up to 100 gourdes. Pétionville has good options as well. Budget
Self-CateringThere are grocery stores all over town at least two in the center of town, both located on Capois: the Big Star Market in the Champ-de-Mars area and the Primera Market nearby the Hotel Olafson. DrinkTraditional alcoholic drinks include the rum sour and Crémas, an alcoholic beverage made of coconut and vanilla. Rhum Barbancourt is the best local rum, the 5-star is the highest quality and 3-star is decent. Biere Prestige is the local lager and is quite good. Only drink bottled water! SleepThere are no cheap places to stay, just less expensive choices. Budget
Stay safeYou should not be outside on the streets after dark unless you are wandering around the busy Champs-de-Mars area. Many travelers and guide books rate Port-au-Prince as the most dangerous major city in the Caribbean in terms of crime and personal safety, even more so than, say, Kingston, Jamaica or Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

Letter To The Exiles
The Shadow Line
With Strikefirst Records, you generally know what you are getting: Christian metalcore/deathcore in recycled digipacks. And having some surprisingly good efforts from the likes of Earth From Above, The Great Commission, As Hell Retreats, Saving Grave and In the Midst of Lions, the label is giving their parent label, Facedown, a run for its money. Enter Long Island's Letter to the Exiles, a Christian metalcore act featuring former Alove For Enemies vocalist Eric Barto and The Shadow Line, their second release (I missed the band's 2008 EP A Call to Arms) and a standard take on a metalcore ministry.
There's nothing revolutionary on The Shadow Line if you've heard any of Facedown/Strikefirst's metalcore acts or the likes of As I Lay Dying, War of Ages, Life in Your Way, Inked in Blood and such (or even Unearth for a non Christian comparison). This is melodic metalcore with plenty of galloping girth, breakdowns, a slight melodic death metal edge and the requisite moments of clean vocals and acoustic grace to purvey the praise of God and Christ. The thing is, Letters to the Exiles do it pretty well, if rather too familiarly.
After "Prelude", "Oh! Holy Dread" kicks off rather impressively and has some very nice melodies, as does "It's Never Safe to Dream", making for a pretty solid start to an album for which I had relatively low expectations. However, The Shadow Line then starts to kind of veer into territory I've heard way too many times. Not that this is bad, because it isn't. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, and frankly the album is better than War of Ages last disappointment, Eternal (and also better than As I Lay Dying's latest). It's just that it's a tad redundant.
Still, there's lots more enjoyable melodies ("Threnody", "This is the Day, The Mourning") and passable breakdowns ("From Shadows to Substance", "Martyrdom"), though nothing to loosen your fillings -- Impending Doom this is not -- and it is far more 'metal' than a lot of comparable acts on, say, Solid State Records, as there isn't a clean croon or emo element in sight. And of course, the whole thing is flocked with that tangible sense of eyes-to-the-sky passion and hope that's filling my very small Christian metalcore void ("Interlude").
If you are one of the few readers here who are into Christian metalcore/deathcore, I recommend this as a very solid release (as well as recommending labelmates As Hell Retreats' new effort). Just don't expect anything earth-shattering. It should at least tide you over until the new A Plea For Purging album later this summer.

Millions of workers – mostly women – struggle to make ends meet on minimum wage earnings. The Fair Minimum Wage Act (H.R. 1010/S. 460) would gradually raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 per hour, increase the tipped minimum cash wage from $2.13 per hour to 70 percent of the minimum wage, and index these wages to keep pace with inflation. Increasing the minimum wage and tipped minimum wage are key steps toward fair pay for women.
Key Facts
Women are a large majority of minimum wage earners.
- Women made up about two-thirds of all workers who were paid minimum wage or less in 2012, and 61 percent of full-time minimum wage workers.[1] Women were also nearly two-thirds of workers in tipped occupations in 2012.[2] These workers provide care for children and frail elders, clean homes and offices, and wait tables.
- Women of color are disproportionately represented among female minimum wage workers. Black women were just under 13 percent and Hispanic women were just under 14 percent of all employed women in 2012,[3] but more than 15 percent of women who made minimum wage were black and more than 18 percent were Hispanic.[4]
- Most women making minimum wage do not have a spouse's income to rely on, including more than three-quarters of women 16 and older and 59 percent of women over 25 earning the minimum wage.[5]
Low-wage working women deserve a raise.
- Congress has raised the minimum wage only three times in 30 years, and it is now just $7.25 per hour. If the minimum wage had kept pace with inflation since 1968, it would be over $10.70 per hour today.[6]
- The federal minimum cash wage for employees in tipped occupations is $2.13 per hour, unchanged in over 20 years and less than one-third of the federal minimum wage.[7] Restaurant servers, the largest group of tipped employees, experience poverty at nearly three times the rate of the workforce as a whole – and about 70 percent of servers are women.[8]
- A woman working full time, year round at minimum wage will earn just $14,500 annually, [9] nearly $4,000 below the poverty line for a mother with two children.[10]
Increasing the minimum wage would boost wages for millions of working women and help close the wage gap.
- Increasing the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour would boost annual earnings by $5,700 to $20,200, enough to pull a family of three out of poverty.[11]
- The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) estimates that if the minimum wage were increased to $10.10 in three steps of 95 cents over the next three years, in the third year more than 30 million workers would get a raise – including 9 million workers earning between $10.10 and $11.05 per hour, who would see their pay increase due to the higher floor set by the new minimum wage. Of the total affected workers, about 17 million (56 percent) are women. [12]
- Of the more than 30 million workers who would get a raise, about 8.4 million are parents, [13] including more than 5.5 million working mothers – representing 25 percent of all working mothers with children under 18. [14] Nearly a quarter of affected parents are the sole providers for their families. [15]
- Since women are the majority of minimum wage workers, increasing the minimum wage would help close the wage gap.[16] In 2012, women working full time, year round were paid only 77 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts. The wage gap was even larger for women of color: black women working full time, year round made only 64 cents, and Hispanic women only 55 cents, for every dollar paid to their white, non-Hispanic male counterparts.[17]
- Seven of the ten states with the narrowest wage gaps in 2012 had minimum wages above the federal level of $7.25 per hour. Among the ten states with the widest wage gaps, only two had minimum wages above $7.25.[18]
Raising the minimum wage would strengthen the economy.
- Increasing the wages paid to low-wage workers results in lower turnover, boosts worker efforts, and encourages employers to invest in their workers.[19]
- Raising the minimum wage does not cause job loss, even during periods of recession.[20]
- Most minimum wage workers need this income to make ends meet and spend it quickly, boosting the economy. Research indicates that for every $1 added to the minimum wage, low-wage worker households spent an additional $2,800 the following year. [21]
- EPI estimates that by the third year of its implementation, the minimum wage increase in the Fair Minimum Wage Act would generate more than $32 billion in additional economic activity and around 140,000 jobs.[22]

Former Secretary of Defense Dr. Robert Gates speaks in Sarasota
Date: February 5, 2013
by: Mallory Gnaegy | A&E Editor
Dr. Robert Gates served as Secretary of Defense from 2006 to 2011. On Tuesday, Feb. 5, Gates spoke as part of the Ringling College Library Association's Town Hall Lecture Series at Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.
Aside from answering questions regarding UFO's, in which he has "never seen one shred of evidence or one report," Gates answered questions regarding the current conversations in congress on sequestration cuts to defense.
Gates believes sequestration will be disastrous for our national security, and if it gets passed, it would be the height of Congress' irresponsibility.
"This is the direct path to hollowing out the military," he says.
He thinks that because personnel cuts are exempted, money has to come out of accounts such as operations and maintenance, and modernization. The effect he thinks this will have is less money for military training and performing of missions.
"…It's the dumbest of all possible cuts because it's across the board," he says. "No accounts are exempted except for personal, so there is no flexibility in terms of making decisions on priorities or anything else."
It brought up the question if military bases would be closed. Gates explains that congress would have to approve the closing of a base. In his experience in attempting to close bases, Congress made it clear to him that "it was not going to happen." Herein lays the problem, he says:
"Military is being squeezed by sequestration and budget cuts, and on the other they are being squeezed by congress that wont allow them to do rational things in terms of how they spend the money they have."
Downsizing and closing bases are one rational solution in his eyes, and as the budget decreases, he thinks it is necessary.
The hollowing out of military in the way that sequestration cuts would allow for, is what Gates fears will be the defense department's future. Gates sees as "an irrational way of spending money because of politics and parochial interests on the part of members of congress that don't allow the secretary and chiefs to (make) sensible decisions" on how money the defense department's money is spent."
What Gates hopes for the department's future is no sequestration and no further cuts beyond the $480 million in the Budget Control Act from fall 2011.
Gates thinks there's a better process going forward, similar to the cuts he made in 2009 —he describes how he made cuts: cut the funds, let the military leaders analyze what they need most, then gave them funds for the most necessary items.
"The goal should be how do we get more bang for our buck?" he says.

So there's an announcement about the new health care law expected today from the U Obama administration while.
More governors say that they go public saying that they will not put the law when action.
At least sixteen states so far this as reports surface at the Health and Human Services Department will step in.
And create these insurance exchanges for the states that are not willing to set them up for the governor of one of those states is Robert Bentley a Republican from Alabama sir good morning -- governor -- Thank you for your time here.
Good morning thank you for having sure why -- no go on obamacare in Alabama.
Well I've been opposed to this legislation's.
From its inception as a physician.
I have felt that this is not the way we need to go in this in this country and I do believe that we need accessible and affordable health care but certainly not what has been proposed by the federal government the question is why -- It is it money is an implementation hour is it.
I think there's several reasons number one is I think it what has been proposed as unworkable.
And of course we have the we we've we've had the choice of whether or not to set up a state run exchange -- partnership.
Or whether or not the federal government was set up -- federal facilitated the exchange actually I don't believe that a federal facilitated exchanges constitutional.
And in.
I'm reading quote from you about the Affordable Care Act VA CA he called the single worst piece of legislation be passed in your lifetime.
What what makes it so yeah I agree with.
Well -- had 2700.
Pages 171000.
Pages of regulations and only a third of those have been set up.
It is it is an unworkable law.
And I don't believe that the federal government will be able to come in and set out federally facilitated exchanges as I said I think that's unconstitutional.
And I think it's sort of been -- written in press vs United States in 1997.
This was cited in the seven to two.
Mandate to ruling that the fact that -- courtroom alone and we just don't believe that's constitutional.
And if we don't set up our own exchanged because that's what the federal government actually wants -- to do they don't want to have to come in and set up exchanges.
We believe as many as half of the states may be more will not set up a state exchange -- -- partnership exchange.
Well we we've got a list of sixteen so far you talk about a tax burden Alabama fifty million dollars plus.
The other side is saying you're just playing politics on this -- your -- a lot of money on the table that could otherwise be spent helping the people of Alabama.
What do you think about that charge.
Well let me let me first answer that first question it will cause if we set up a state exchange they will give us money to set it up.
But those who -- in the exchange have to -- for that with fees and taxes.
I and in Alabama we estimate out cost the people of Alabama approximately fifty million dollars annually.
And we just can't afford that.
Do you have any idea what the health and human services director will say today Kathleen civilians.
I have no idea what they'll say you know there that.
They obviously.
I think did.
-- we have half the states that refused to set up this data exchange.
It makes it very difficult for them to implement this law it is it is not a forgone conclusion.
That this all that is been passed that it will be implemented it is not a foregone conclusion and that will occur.
Just one more question then do you expect based on that a series of answers you give give give -- us here today that this goes back to the US Supreme Court fought on different grounds legally.
I did -- Governor thank you Robert Bentley is the governor of Alabama he's a no go and Obama care for now sir thank you for your time we'll see what.
Kathleen civilians says -- the noon eastern hour.
From Washington thank you if -- --

It has been a work in progress deciding what to do with this lower level. We have just recently decided to call it "Kate's Jive." Jive is an acronym for Junque, Industrial, Vintage, Etc.

The store is also the box office for the Aberdeen Community Theatre. We have volunteered to do that for many years.
Q. How many employees do you have?
A. We have two full-time employees: Eleanor Nall and Linda Wilson. Both celebrate 20 years with Kathleen's this month. Kathleen's also has four-part time employees, who have also been with the store for several years.
Q. What are you most proud of?
A. I am proud of owning a successful business for almost 25 years, for creating a family atmosphere for my employees and for bringing great service to my customers. We are constantly striving to create beautiful environments both in our store and in our clients' homes. Our staff strives to make everyone feel welcome when they walk through our front door.
Q. What's the greatest compliment your business has ever received?
A. People who visit from all over the United States always stop in when they come back to Aberdeen to tell us how much they enjoy our store. We also have many local customers who tell us they come in often to get their "Kathleen's fix." They look forward to relaxing and having fun in a homey atmosphere where there's always something new and unique.

Monday, Dec. 31, 2012, is the last day to apply for the state's property tax and rent rebate program.
The property tax and rent rebate program is funded by lottery revenue and is for home owners or renters who are 65 or older, widows and widowers 50 and older, and people with disabilities 18 and older.
The rebate combined with relief from slots revenue can eliminate property taxes for some residents. The maximum standard rebate is $650, but supplemental rebates for qualifying homeowners can boost rebates to $975.
Older adults must reapply for rebates every year because rebates are based on
property taxes or rent paid each year and annual income.
The deadline to apply for a rebate on property taxes or rent paid is Dec. 31.
If you would like to apply, you can call 1-888-222-9190.

Nestled on the shore of Narragansett Bay, East Providence is a scenic city that embodies the traditional northeastern lifestyle. A number of parks and bike paths dispersed through the area offer opportunities for people here to spend time in the beautiful natural landscape. East Providence is located three miles from Providence, and residents take advantage of the business and cultural amenities of Rhode Island's largest city. Look for East Providence apartments for rent and join more than 47,000 residents who live a high quality of life in New England.
Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island, first settled in the East Providence area in 1636. Located at the crossroads of water and land, the city has been an important site for boat, train and automobile transportation in and out of the state. East Providence became an independent town in 1862. Although it has been a part of two states and had three different names since it was built, today East Providence is a thriving city with five identifiable neighborhoods. Phillipsdale, Rumford, Watchemoket, Kent Heights and Riverside all have their own vibes and characteristics with many East Providence apartments to meet the needs of all residents.
East Providence is home to the John Hunt House, which is a museum, the hub for the East Providence Historical Society and library for area-related articles. Visitors can tour the restored structure or stroll through Lura's Garden on the grounds. Residents here can also ride along the scenic East Bay bike path, which stretches along the Narragansett Bay shoreline from Providence to Bristol.

Über bosses solo speedkill in 10min and 37sec @ MPL 10 (video inside)
Posted 14 November 2012 - 04:27 AM
I manged to get the killtime down to 10min and 37sec using my throw build. (used my normal high mpl farming build/gear)
Can any of you godly geared ww+tornado/HotA barbs do a run so we can compare the killtime of the different builds ?

I do play a throw barb myself but I have picked it up recently and a musician's life isn't suited for really fast gearing up, so there is no way in hell I can compete with that.
Deathyz: the trick is to have fury cost reduction on WT and a high crit chance so that your critical hits will generate fury in considerable amounts. Most throw builds don't have a fury generating primary at all, and you'll see variations with Ancient Spear, War Cry, Leap and the like serving as the kick-off fury generator, as the WT spam will fill your bar quite fast from there.

Since nobody responded i made a Hota build run myself.
KIlltime with Throw build = 10min and 37sec
Killtime with HotA build = 9min and 14sec
That fit pretty good with my experience ingame also. HotA got the highest single target damage output, throw comes in on second place, and WW is the lowest singel target damage output build. (of the standard 3 barb builds)
But if we try to compare farming speed (xp/hour) the WW build wins hands down, with throw on second place again, and Hota last.
The reason for this is the AOE damage.
All the main damage from WW is aoe spells, with the throw build you have ricochet (hit 3 targets) + Hota (small aoe), and with the HotA build you only have the small aoe from HotA itself + rend (mostly good for heal).
All three builds is viable in high mpl levels, but you have to modify the HotA build a little if you want to play in low mpl levels..
So you can pick the build that suits your playstyle best.
If we look ahead to the pvp patch i think the throw build gonna be the strongest, but we gotto wait and see

Since its in the barb forums
Funny thing is Im sure there will be a video of other classes doing this run faster soon, its just barbs are more motivated and less Emo (for the most part, don't hate me good non-barbs! lol)
On another note, anyone else notice the trend I'm seeing with barbs that the records are done with Throw/Hota Barbs, would like to see if a WW barb can come close, but haven't seen it so far. I think the damage ability of WW has been exagerated far to long, no doubting the speed though (I still use it for low level exp/farm runs)

Very nice, I would have accepted the challenge myself but 1) cant fraps on my comp and 2) I'm not a godly geared barb lol
Great job though

Lyutaya, on 18 November 2012 - 10:52 PM, said:
Minimal stat requirements are a belt with -5 WT cost and preferably a healthy amount of LS. Lamentations are dime a dozen in the AH if you want to try the build without investing a ton of moolah.
300th Spear isn't essential, but a socketed spear does work very, very well in the higher percentages of WT bonus (45%+ if you can nail it), and the raw damage boost is better than having base crit damage, in spite of what papersheet dps indications would suggest. To not depend on Into the Fray to use a more suitable rune in Battle Rage (Bloodshed is awesome for farming), a Skull Grasp or SoJ with -3 or more WT are ideal, -4 being optimal. Even if you score one with -5, there won't be any throws if you don't have any fury - no idea if that's a bug or intended, to be honest.

So, my beta sample of finaflex (redefine nutrition) stimul8 came in today.
The beta flavor is apple blast and its pretty darn good. I just had some samples of the apple flavored ANS Ritual, so I was a little wary of this when I saw that it was apple flavored as well (because Ritual is definitely not the greatest tasting pre IMO). But it was very good, gave my wife a small sip as we pulled up to the gym (she uses her own pre) and she approved of its flavoring (which says A LOT).
My session went as follows:
Explosive Squats / Cube for Strongman / D1W1
Pre: 1 Scoop Stimul8
Intra: Gatorade + MBCAA+
I took the preworkout as I pulled into the gym, and as I said, was pleasantly surprised by the flavoring. It smelled great when I mixed it, but that doesn't ever mean it's going to taste as good as it smells.
Warm-up: Foam Roll ITB/Add., LAX Ball Glute, Band Dislocates/Over and Backs, Banded GM x 15, LBBSx45x15, 95x10, 135x5
By this point I had a lot of energy and focus start hitting me at this point so I was ready to get started.
LBBS: 200x2x10
I was moving fast with these, threw my weight off and put the wife's on, she did her set, threw the weight back on and got back to it for 10 sets.
Walking Lunges: BWx15(per leg)x3
Was working up a major sweat at this point and still was WIRED.
Front Squats: 155x12x2, 175x12
Was on point here, started feeling a little nauseous by now. Had to lay down between my sets a couple of times, I was friggin suckin!
Calf Raises: 180x20, 140x20x2
Thought this was going to be like my rest, but I was mistaken! I was really making sure to get a full contraction at the top, and they were painful. I was SOAKED at this point in the workout.
Banded GM: MM (monster mini) x 50
Not a lot of pump with this (which I expected there to be just because of the fact that it was a set of 50) but I know that stimul8 really isn't a pump product at all, which is GREAT for a leg day. Last time I had a killer pump on leg day I had to stop front squatting because my quads cramped up lol.
All in all, my first impression with stimul8 was positive. So far i give it a big .
I will only be using a half scoop tomorrow because I'm doing cone drill and agility work and don't want my heart rate to get to high.
Now, I just wait to see if I'm able to sleep tonight.

Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre from the Toro appellation are a joint venture from Michel and Dany Rolland and Francois Lurton
NAPA, Calif., Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning September 1st, Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines (DC&E) has added two well-regarded Spanish wines to its prestigious portfolio of imports for the American market. DC&E has been granted exclusive US importing rights to Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre from the Toro appellation of Spain. The two wines are a joint venture between world famous consultant and winemaker Michel Rolland, his accomplished Oenologist wife Dany and iconic Bordeaux-based wine maker and global wine innovator Francois Lurton. DC&E began shipping the 2008 Campo Eliseo and 2010 Campo Alegre earlier this month.
Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre have earned very high regard in the beverage press, with the 2008 Campo Eliseo earning 94 points from Wine Spectator and the 2010 Campo Alegre receiving 91 points from the Wine Advocate. Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre are 100% Tinta de Toro, famous for wines of great power, depth and longevity. These wines will be equally enjoyed by those who enjoy top quality Spanish wines as well as wine lovers who appreciate the Rolland/Lurton touch with their wines from California and Bordeaux.
The addition of Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre is part of Diageo Chateau & Estates' strategy to seek out best-in-class wines from the most important wine regions throughout the world. This is DC&E's first foray into the hot and growing category of Spanish wine.
"We are honored to be adding Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre to our luxury import collection," said Claudia Schubert, President, DC&E Wines. "Our import collection includes wines from the most prestigious wine growing regions and producers. Adding Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre expands our portfolio with a great partner and outstanding wines."
"We the producers of Campo Eliseo in Toro, are privileged and happy to have Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines as our U.S. importer. We are proud to have our wines among this prestigious portfolio," said Francois Lurton.
Campo Eliseo is sourced from 50 to 75 year old vines and is Rolland and Lurton's signature Toro wine. Campo Alegre is the venture's second wine, made from younger vines and lighter in style, but receiving the exact same attention as the Eliseo. Suggested retail price for Campo Eliseo will be about $80/bottle and for Campo Alegre will be about $40/bottle. The wines will be available immediately in the top 20 markets, including New York, Florida, Washington, DC, Texas and California, with availability elsewhere as demand dictates.
The DC&E US portfolio is composed of prestigious and historic California properties including Beaulieu Vineyard, Sterling, Provenance, Acacia and Rosenblum Cellars in the Napa Valley as well as Chalone Estate in the central coast. This addition of Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre expands and rounds out DC&E's prestigious import portfolio including 19 estates in Burgundy (Domaines Pierre Gelin, Georges Roumier, Jean Grivot, Anne Gros, Aurelian Verdet, Tollot-Beaut, Courcel, Pierre Matrot, Blain-Gagnard, Jacques Gagnard-Delagrange, Michel Niellon, Ramonet, Bruno Colin, Philippe Colin, Alain Chavy, Jean-Louis Chavy, Laurent Cognard, Auvigue, and Vocoret), Almaviva from Chile and Navarro Correas from Argentina. DC&E recently added the wines of Domaine Anne Gros in Vosne-Romanee and the Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot wines from the Minervois region of France.

When your child first asks for a puppy, your first reaction may be that they stink, bark, and jump on people, but as a perfect opportunity for your child to become more trustworthy, learn how to budget, and become more responsible, you may reconsider things. Plus, you get to adopt an adorable member into your family.
Earning a Puppy
Instead of simply buying your child a puppy, many parents make them earn it. Sit down with your child and come up with an agreement on how they will earn their puppy. Perhaps you will use a system where they get to add a point every time they complete a chore, homework, or help somebody else out. Once they reach a grand amount they can start looking for puppies to adopt. This shows that your child desires the puppy enough to do the work to keep it.
You can use this as the perfect chance to teach your child how to budget their money. Offer them a certain amount that they can spend on the puppy and accessories. Take them to the pet store several times so they understand how much a kennel, bed, leash, toys, and food all cost. The cost of puppies varies as well, so you want to make sure they understand how to budget around the puppy. You can visit the pet store or an animal shelter to find a puppy, but it's a good idea to let them interact with several to choose the most friendly one.
Once your child receives their puppy, they will learn how to care for it, which will teach them a great deal of responsibility. They will learn to feed, water, brush, and play with it, all of which they should be responsible for.

Putrajaya is a planned city, located 25 km south of Kuala Lumpur, that serves as the federal administrative centre of Malaysia. The seat of government was shifted in 1999 from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya, due to the overcrowding and congestion in the Kuala Lumpur areas. Nevertheless, Kuala Lumpur remains Malaysia's national capital, being the seat of the King and Parliament, as well as the country's commercial and financial centre. Putrajaya was the brainchild of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad. In 2001, Putrajaya became Malaysia's third Federal Territory after Kuala Lumpur and Labuan.
Named after the first Malaysian Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra, the city is situated within the Multimedia Super Corridor, beside the recently developed Cyberjaya. In Malay/Sanskrit, the words "putra" or "putera" means "prince" or "male child" ("girl child" is called "Putri" in Sanskrit), and "jaya" means "success" or "victory". The development of Putrajaya started in early 1990s, and today major landmarks have been completed and the population is expected to grow in the near future.
History and design[edit]
Putrajaya, which was originally Prang Besar ڤراڠ بسر, was opened in 1918 as Air Hitam by the British. Its original land space was 800 acres (3.2 km2), which was later expanded to 8,000 acres (32 km2). Prang Besar later expanded and merged with its surrounding estates such as Estet Raja Alang, Estet Galloway and Estet Bukit Prang.
The vision to have a new Federal Government Administrative Centre to replace Kuala Lumpur as the administrative capital emerged in the late 1980s, during the tenure of Malaysia's 4th Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir Bin Mohamad. The new city was proposed to be located between Kuala Lumpur and the new KL International Airport (KLIA).
The Federal government negotiated with the state of Selangor on the prospect of another Federal Territory and in the mid-1990s, the Federal government paid a substantial amount of money to Selangor for approximately 11,320 acres (45.8 km2) of land in Prang Besar, Selangor. As a result of this land purchase, the state of Selangor now completely surrounds two Federal Territories within its borders, namely Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.
Planned as a garden and intelligent city, 38% of the area is reserved for green spaces by emphasising the enhancement of natural landscape. A network of open spaces and wide boulevards were incorporated to the plan. Construction began in August 1995 and it was Malaysia's biggest project and one of Southeast Asia's largest with estimated final cost of US$ 8.1 billion. The entire project was designed and constructed by Malaysian companies with only 10% of the materials imported.
The Asian Financial Crisis of 1997/1998 had somewhat slowed the development of Putrajaya. In 1999, 300 staff members of the Prime Minister's office moved to Putrajaya and the remaining government servants moved in 2005. On 1 February 2001 Tun Dr. Mahathir declared Putrajaya as a Federal Territory with the ceremony of handing over Putrajaya township from the Selangor state authorities.
In 2002, a rail link called KLIA Transit was opened, linking Putrajaya to both Kuala Lumpur and KL International Airport in Sepang. However, construction of the Putrajaya Monorail which was intended to be the city's metro system, was suspended due to costs. One of the monorail suspension bridges in Putrajaya remains unused.
In 2007, the population of Putrajaya was estimated to be over 30,000, which comprised mainly government servants. Government servants have been encouraged to relocate to the city through a variety of government subsidy and loan programs.
As of 2010 Census the population of Putrajaya is 97.4% Muslim, 1.0% Hindu, 0.9% Christian, 0.4% Buddhist, and 0.3% other or non-religious.[3]
