"Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me. If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night," Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike {to You.} For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, {And} skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained {for me,} When as yet there was not one of them. (Ps. 139: 7-16)

Coral Snake Song: Marching Through Georgia (The Hospice, murder and evidence burning)
On that, we have done amazingly well. Any public interest group will tell you, it is a very difficult thing to get a message out to millions of people. Yet undoubtedly millions of people across the country have become aware of Terri's plight, and most are sympathetic. You can see it in the level of news coverage everywhere, and in the growing respect for Terri's case.
I know several persons who were completely unsympathetic simply because they'd heard the standard media line. To them it seemed like another routine case of disconnecting a brain-dead patient. Their view changed dramatically when they learned the facts. Even the media have stopped using their more outrageous lies and adjectives like "comatose." Tell any woman you know about MS refusing to treat Terri's urinary tract infection, or about him stealing her engagement and wedding ring and melting them down to make a ring for himself. They don't need to know any more to figure out who's abusing whom.
We're doing okay, and God bless everyone who's helped. Pour it on!
Oh I'm not just talking the Senate .. I'm also taking it to the people
The media might not want to report was is really going on .. but one way or another I will do what I can to see that the people know
The discussions at my family's Thanksgiving this years should very entertaining .. *L*
ROFL...hey, I'm going to need every scrap of restraint I can dredge up being around up there. Don't tempt me! ;-)
I believe you have invented the best new fundraising technique in years!
Years and years of neglect and sensory deprivation have taken a toll on Terri. It's ironic that trolls now point to her limited responsiveness -- to the very damage Michael has done to her -- as if that justifies him finishing her off. He should be the one locked away.
I have boundless hope for Terri, but she must have care, she must have love, she must see the sun. I wish we could all be there to give her that kitten. Michael Schiavo's hold must be broken and his appalling cruelty to her must be ended.
Martha Teischner reports over a series of pre-recorded video clips in this news magazine's lead story...
Teichner: If it weren't for THIS video, the one Terri Schiavo's parents made, and insist PROVES that their brain-damaged daughter is aware, and is trying to communicate...
(Terri's mom asking if Terri is tired today, and Terri smiling and responding)
(A doctor having asked Terri to open her eyes as far as possible, Terri complies by raising her head, opening her eyes fully, and lifting her eyebrows WAY UP! The doctor shouts: GOOD! Good JOB! Good Job young lady!)
Teichner: The fight over removal of her feeding tube, might have remained a tragic ugly family struggle. But the troubling image of Terri's eyes, her open mouth, the fact that she's been this way 13 years, has made her the symbol of a nation's struggle over the right to die.
Teichner: The hospice, in Pinellas Park Florida, where Terri Schiavo is a patient, has become a battlefront in America's political and idealogical culture wars.
(Terri's father is asked "Do you still think there's hope?" He responds calmly "Oh yea". A priest prays at the vigil: "Help us believe that you are aware of our anxieties, and will do what is best for Terri and for us")
Teichner: Camped out front: Right to life advocates, disability activists, and supporters of conservative causes. They stood by with Terri's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, when a state court ordered Terri's feeding tube removed on October 15th.
(Terri's father: "I'm pleading to Governor Bush, [sobbing] as one dad to another... to save Terri)
Teichner: They were jubilent, six days later, when Governor Jeb Bush, backed by state lawmakers, in an unprecidented and possibly unconstitutional move, DID get involved, ordering the feeding tube re-connected.
(Gov Bush: In my prayers, I would hope that our legal system would recognize that the right to life, is as important as the right to terminate life support.)
Teichner: Without Bush's intervention, Terri Schiavo would have died within days. But the story isn't over. It will be up to the Florida Supreme Court to sort out whether the legislature's passage of what's being called "Terri's Law" was legal.
(Senator King: I keep on thinking, what if Terri didn't want this to happen at all? May God have mercy on all of us)
Teichner: The case is about trying to see inside Terri Schiavo's head. About trying to figure out, since SHE had no living will, what SHE would want under the circumstances, to LIVE? or to DIE? And, who has the right to determine that? Her husband? Her parents? the courts? or Governor Jeb Bush and the legislature?
(Larry King: What happend Michael, on February 25th, 1990?
Michael: "I'd say, about 4:30 in the morning, I was, for some reason, getting out of bed, and I heard a 'thud' in the hall. I raced out there, and Terri was laying in the hall.")
[body language note: Michael frequently looked down and to his left throughout those recollections.]
Teichner: Michael Schiavo, Terri's husband and her guardian, on Larry King Live...
(Michael: "I rolled her over, and she was lifeless.")
Teichner: Paramedics rushed her to THIS hospital [Northside Hospital & Heart Institute] They resuscitated her, saved her life, but her brain had been deprived of oxygen for five to ten minutes. Leaving her according to MOST, but not ALL of the doctors brought in to examined her, in a persistent vegetative state, with no HOPE of recovery.
(Attorney Felos: As a result of the lack of oxygen, from the cardiac arrest, Terri's cerebral cortex, or cerebrum, the center of consciousness and thought, began to decay, well it died, and then began to decay and atrophy.)
Teichner: George Felos, is Michael Schiavo's lawyer, and an author. Felos argued the landmark case that established the right of an individual to refuse unwanted medical treatment in Florida.
(Felos: Where her cerebral cortex used to be, is literally a giant black hole that is filled with spinal fluid)
(Doctor#1: Looking at this scan, without the actual patient, this is consistent with someone who could be in a persistent vegetative state, yes. You would expect this person to be exceedingly low-functioning. Not necessarily in a coma or unconscious, but certainly very low-functioning.)
Teichner: Dr Keith Siller is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at New York University Medical School.
(Doctor#1: This is a horrible scan.)
Teichner: We showed him Terri's brain scan because he has no vested interest in the Schiavo case.
(Doctor#1: Now this is what a normal scan should look like. In Terri Schiavo's scan over here, the person has lost the exterior brain, which is the cortex, and that's where all the functions originate from. So if you've lost cortex through atrophy, brain doesn't grow back. It's not going to recover. The problem is you have a gray zone here. That's a person who is not technically brain-DEAD, but in a functional sense, that person is not really brain-ALIVE, either. )
(Doctor#2 [who actually TESTED Terri for 4 hours]: "She is NOT in coma presently. She ABSOLUTELY CAN be rehabilitated. There is NO question about that")
Teichner: Neurologist William Hammesfahr, shown here with Terri's father on FoxNews, is one of the doctors who has given the Schindler family hope.
Teichner: Terri's CONDITION tops the list of things the two sides disagree on, as they LITERALLY fight over her life. Slinging accusations at each other, on national television.
Teichner: The other central issue is whether Terri really DID say she wouldn't want to be kept alive artificially...
(Michael: "We were watching some programs, and she says, I don't want a... I don't want anything artificial like that. I don't want any tubes. Don't let me live like that")
[body language note: Michael started out looking down and to his left. Halfway thru those sentences he finally looked up at LKL.]
Bobby: [with solid eye-contact] "We've said all along, that these wishes were just a complete fabrication"
Teichner: Bobby Schindler is Terri's brother...
Bobby: "They only occurred after there was a substancial amount of money in Terri's trust fund"
Teichner: A Florida court believed Michael Schiavo, that it was Terri's WISH to die. But look what else the court concluded. That MONEY overshadowed the entire case, on both sides.
Teichner: In 1992, Michael Schiavo sued Terri's doctors for malpractice, and won. 300 thousand dollars for himself... 700 thousand dollars for Terri, to be held in a trust fund. THATS when the trouble began.
Bobby: The fact of the matter is, there HASN'T been any rehabilitation for Terri, and thats what my dad was confronting Michael ahh, about
Felos: The Schindler's, after the malpractice money came in umm, demanded money for themselves
Teichner: The money's practically gone now, but the emnity remains...
(lawyer#2: Unfortunately, Terri, poor Terri, did NOT express herself in legal documents that would have avoided all of this)
[lawyer#2 and Teichner then plugged Living Wills for one minute]
Bobby: "To have to watch a loved one slowly STARVE to death, its BEYOND comprehension."
Teichner: Bobby Schindler doesn't consider disconnecting Terri's feeding tube 'letting her die'. He calls it 'Starving her to death - killing her'. In order to visit his sister at the hospice, he has to pass police guards posted outside.
Bobby: I know that she's listening. I know that she's hearing me. I know she's aware. So I try to keep HER spirits up. Terri is my SISTER, and she is our FAMILY, and she is JUST as beautiful to me now as she was before this happened. And I'm willing, and my family is willing to take care of her as long as we have to. You know, Michael has started a new family, he has a fiance...
Teichner: So you just want him to walk away?
Bobby: Yea, just walk away.
Felos: The overriding, and sole motivation of Michael Schiavo, is to carry out his wife's wishes. I can see no other reason why he has subjected himself to this abuse, threat, destruction, of his life... Why would he do it if he didn't truely love her?
Teichner: Its been 13 years since Terri Schiavo collapsed. Perhaps the lesson to be learned from this sad story, is that without putting our wishes down on paper, it could be any ONE of us lying there, being fought over.

That is a thought that brings a BIG smile to my face! :-)
You got it!
Mary said she remembered thinking right after Terri's collapse that Michael was extraordinarily attentive for having been thrust into such a situation. She recalled five other young women in Terri's condition at a nursing home in Sable Ponds and said their mothers told her that each of their husbands "flew" after they realized their wives would likely never be the same.
"I thought, 'Look at this loving man that's here every day.' He watched her like a hawk. Naturally, now I know he was afraid. He must have been thinking, 'What if they teach her to talk?'" Mary speculated. "I think he was afraid she would say, 'What are you doing here? You did this to me!' I think that's what happened. Speculation, yes, but it is a possible explanation for what's bothering me in that interview.
Not at all. Stuffing dirty socks into a politician's mouth is a fundamental right of all upstanding citizens and is constitutionally well protected by our freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the unwashed hosiery clause.
(from www.hospicepatients.org/Hosp-FL-Suncoast-entrypage.html
We would like to extend our "Welcome" to the new "Director of Clinical Training and Software Implementation" for Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, Cindy Jacquemin. Cindy was a "Clinical Software Trainer" for Suncoast Solutions. Cindy will supposedly no longer work for Suncoast Solutions. Belle Sturm, who was serving both positions (Director of Training for Suncoast Solutions AND Director of Clinical Training and Software Implementation for Hospice of the Florida Suncoast) is (supposedly) giving up her position with Hospice to be full time with Solutions.
Since Teresa Craig's recent e-mail asked everyone to welcome Cindy to her new position, we join in welcoming her to this example of what can go wrong at a hospice! We do wish to let Cindy know (she should be aware) that there have been NUMEROUS WRITTEN COMPLAINTS from staff at Hospice of the Florida Suncoast given to HR, Mary Labyak, Teresa Craig, etc stating that Cindy is rude, treats staff poorly, talks down to people, and is reported by several people to dress like she is homeless. Obviously, Cindy knows the right people in the administration!
In other news, Mary Labyak was going around the hospice reassuring employees that all the lawsuits against the hospice will be "settled" soon. Mary! You may not wish to hear this, but the suits have NOT been settled just to shut up those who are suing you and the hospice for what your gang of administrators has been doing! Those who have filed lawsuits against the hospice, including present and former employees, are not going to be bought off by you or the hospice.)
Seems that all those lawsuits keep staying around too. Too bad Mary, Teresa and George, NOT!!! ;c)
Actually a think that a truely constructive way to answer trolls WITHOUT PERSONAL ATTACKS would be simply post this particular www.hospicepatients.org link to them and try to get them to see what they are supporting here. This site has the best news and links about the death culture in Pennelus County, Florida AND ITS CORRUPTION that I have seen to date and I will continue to post it whenever the oppertunity arises.

Lokum - Turkish delight
For a slice of Turkey, try these sweet treats flavored with rosewater. This easy Turkish Delight recipe will tempt you.
Makes 25 pieces
Olive oil spray
860g (4 cups) caster sugar
1L (4 cups) water
2 tbs fresh lemon juice
3 tbs gelatine powder
130g (1 cup) cornflour
1 tsp cream of tartar
2 tsp rosewater essence
Red food colouring
300g (2 cups) icing sugar mixture
Spray a square 20cm (base measurement) cake pan with olive oil spray to grease. Line the base and side with non-stick baking paper, allowing the sides to overhang.
Place the sugar and 500ml (2 cups) of the water in a large heavy-based saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Place a sugar thermometer in the pan. Increase heat to medium. Cook, without stirring, brushing down the side of the pan occasionally with a pastry brush dipped in water, for 25 minutes or until the sugar thermometer reaches 125°C. Stir in the lemon juice.
Meanwhile, place the gelatine, cornflour and cream of tartar in a large saucepan. Use a balloon whisk to whisk in a little of the remaining water to form a paste. Gradually whisk in the remaining water. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 3-5 minutes or until the mixture boils and thickens.
Gradually pour the sugar syrup into the cornflour mixture, whisking constantly (if the mixture becomes lumpy, pour through a fine sieve into another saucepan).
Reduce heat to low. Place the sugar thermometer in the saucepan. Simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the mixture sticking to the base of the pan, for 1 hour or until the mixture is light golden and sugar thermometer reaches 110°C. Add the rosewater and a few drops of the food colouring and stir until well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
Set aside to cool to room temperature and place in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight until firm.
Pour the icing sugar mixture onto a large chopping board. Turn the lokum onto the icing sugar and use a lightly greased knife to cut into 3cm pieces. Toss the lokum in the icing sugar to coat. Serve.

One of the best things about Nail Yakupov is the company he keeps. Yakupov's agent is the brilliant hockey man Igor Larionov, who spent his career earning the reputation as the "thinking man's hockey player"--his positioning was the stuff of legends. When Larionov speaks on any hockey subject it is worth a listen; when he's discussing the Oilers #1 overall pick from 2012, it is best to listen closely.
Recently, several articles have cropped up about Larionov and his relationship with Yakupov. As a fan, I find this fascinating--what fan wouldn't want a brilliant mentor like Larionov helping the youngster along.
Derek Van Diest of the Edmonton Sun has a fine read here and if features some excellent insight into the young Russian winger. Larionov reveals that the first choice for this winter (aside from the NHL) was for Nail to play with the kids in OKC--and what an addition he'd have been to the all-star cast featured with the Barons! The second choice was playing against men in the KHL, and the results have been impressive.
- Larionov: "He's got more goals than (Alexander) Ovechkin, more goals than (Pavel) Datsyuk, more goals than (Evgeni) Malkin, so that tells you that he's right there. He's playing not on the best team in the KHL, in his hometown, but he's making a big difference helping his team win hockey games and keeping them in the playoff hunt."
The underrated Joanne Ireland also has an article up on the subject and she focuses on the mentor role played by Larionov. She also gets to the heart of the matter in regard to Yakupov's performance in the Subway Super Series (4, 2-2-4) and tells us what he expects to see in Edmonton.
- Larionov: "When he steps on the ice (tonight), they'll send one or two guys to shadow him and he'll have to find a way to get away. When he plays in Edmonton, there will be five guys (who are dangerous) and you can't shadow all five. It's like playing the KLM line. It's impossible."
I don't want to oversell the influence that Igor Larionov is having, hell Nail Yakupov is a strong personality in his own right. Our own Andrey Osadchenko had a wonderful article up awhile back here at Oilers Nation that gave us insight into the player and his KHL season.
- Yakupov: "Of course, it's very different. I mean, this is the men's league. They think differently but still got good speed. You can feel that. You can also feel some sort of a man's strength, you know? You can feel it in every KHL player. This is really interesting to me. I like it. We have a great team. Everybody helped me around in the first couple of games so I wouldn't feel lost. There was a lot of moral support. Then I scored my first goal and felt more comfortable. I got a hang of it. I started being initiative every now and then. I tried to help my team and we finally managed to win a game on home ice. It felt pretty good."
When you're young, things can get a little hairy. Sometimes things come at you at such a fast pace that one can be overwhelmed. Nail Yakupov looks to me as though he can negotiate very well for his age, but having Larionov close at hand is a very positive thing. Add to that his enormous knowledge of hockey, the NHL, and the transition from junior to pro and this is a wonderful relationship for all involved, including the Oilers and their fans.

Could someone give that woman a headband..please
Fist* from disneyworld. Yak is the real deal.
*Stupid slow hotel wifi.
November 14 2012, 08:17PM
Watching the 1st 4 Subway super series games, I don't know if it's coaching or what but Yak looks like Ron Ellis, never more than 2 feet from the boards. He ventured into the middle once and got filled in. If he sails through the middle, head down, tonite, pray that Dumba isn't on the ice.
November 14 2012, 09:40PM
I had been wondering whether some of Yakupov's positioning was based on the coaching staff as well. Something seemed different watching his play in the CHL series to what little I have seen from KHL clips.
He is most dangerous in the high slot and the middle, yet so often he seems to get funneled over to the sideboards in these games.
The coaches may be trying to use him as a sort of blinder, let the other team worry about him so much that they don't see his teammates on other lines. That he is being so heavily shadowed and still managing noticeable production is another positive.
November 14 2012, 10:46PM
Oh...it wasn't about me...
November 14 2012, 10:50PM
I just love the constant improvement Yakupov strives to achieve. Crosby-like in that aspect.
Alan what else do you expect his agent to say . Will he be good . Dam right he will but can we afford him probably at the same $ 6 mil that the top 3 will get . $24 million on 4 players with a $60 million cap and thats without our top "D" Schultz & Petry probably at $ 4 mil each . Throw in a $4 mil goalie and we spend $ 36 million on 7 players . Probably says trades will happen .
November 15 2012, 01:33PM
I just love the constant improvement Yakupov strives to achieve. Crosby-like in that aspect.
I agree with that 100%,I also like that he is very serious about the things he does,he is communicative but there is always a very serious undertone,this guy will be a franchise cornerstone in the near future and will have a tremendous impact on the Oilers.I can not begin to imagine the type of impact he will have when he works with Sam Gagner another player who has very serious undertones,I see something explosive there, 60 minute mentalitys on the same line. Igor larionov is a master of understatement,he simply lets results speak the obvious and then refers to that dynamic,I like the method,it is 100% results based.No spin-doctoring at all,just the facts Jack.You would expect a professional attitude from an incredibly talented ex-player and hockey mind of that caliber.
I think Nail is doing great,I hope he is monitoring his diet and making sure he is getting the proper amount of rest at the right times,he is still growing and needs the basics,very good nutrition,lots of hard work and lots of rest and recovery time,these next two years are critical he needs to let himself fill out naturally,and simply providing these three things will help out.
We will all get to see Nails work ethic and game alongside his Oiler peers in due time,it will be worth the wait.Nail is one of a number of potential superstars we have now,but as in any profession it is hard work and 60 min efforts that will force the cream to rise to the top,adjusting quickly and maintaining that work ethic will define who has a sucessful professional career ,and really these young men are building their careers here and we need to support them in this journey in every way possible.All we can ask for reasonably is hard work and constant learning so they get a chance to be the best hockey players they can possibly be.
I think Ryan Smyth is the perfect role model in our Dressing room for young men,we have good vets,but Smyth is the epitome of Oilers hockey,and will teach all of these young men a lot about the game on and off-ice.Nail will have a lot of excellent influences and potential role models in Edmonton and I am sure he will choose the right ones to emulate.Ryan is the type of NHL pro who can teach young players how to keep a smile on their faces and still remain very serious and hardworking-- great professional balance,great love of the game.
"yet so often he seems to get funneled over to the sideboards in these games."
Watch Canada/Russia games carefully, the Canadians have been using that trap against the Russian star players for at least 15 years now, especially on small ice.
What's concerned me about Yakupov's play is his fancy looking giveaways. He's still young, but it definitely looks like an area of work (think Omark, but without an attitude problem).

After the recent election I thought we would be spared the long-long-long "expert" commentary and evaluation that had existed and come forth after each new poll. Pundits were closer to "puns" and even closer to 2/3 of a pun: pee uuu. It was disgusting and disturbing to listen to complicated analysis, and the exhibitions of self-styled important people so distort truth and even the most simple and obvious details.
Why were they so wrong about Romney? Why were they so wrong about Obama? It is really quite simple.
Here are some obvious reasons Obama won and Romney lost [brief summaries as space allows].....
Romney's "experts" were beholden to another time, another set of presumptions, another Republican Party.
Romney flip-flopped on almost every major issue.
The new Republican Party, held hostage by the Tea Party, is truly color-blind...that is, they do not see past anything that is not white and male.
Psst: Women matter! They represent the largest block of voters.
Psst: Latinos matter! They are the largest minority group in America.
Psst: Who did you expect African-Americans were going to vote for?
The very fact that Romney spent over $25,000 for fireworks to celebrate his victory should tell you something.
More and more of Americans are finally seeing Donald Trump for what he is: a goof. Relying on him to entice the other goofs such as birthers, bigots, rich birthers and bigots, etc. was a huge mistake. It can be very-very difficult to vote for someone who makes Donald Trump an important part of his campaign.
A man with whom you had huge differences of opinion, Mr. Romney, as your running mate was not smart. Paul Ryan did not even carry his hometiown of Janesville, Wisconsin. Ryan represents even another segment of insensitive white males who place wealth ahead of democracy.
Guess what? Young voters are championed via social media, not through the Washington Times or hate radio. Did you see the emotional and heart-warming expressions by Obama to his young volunteers?
Americans strongly dislike programs that favor rich people over the middle class. You can't see that?!?
Obama won with an unemployment rate at 8% [really more like 14%], an extremely slow economic recovery, trillions of dollars in federal debt, the Benghazi mess, a horrible first debate, cool reception from Israel toward Obama, and on and on and on. And the Republicans still lost the White House! Amazing! What else needs to happen before you get the message; be hit by a truck?

By L. BRENT GARDNERExecutive Director of Utah Association of Counties
The Utah Joint Methamphetamine Task Force is charged with addressing the methamphetamine epidemic in Utah and the other serious problems caused by meth use. During a recent meeting, the 34-member team developed a resolution and committed themselves to implementing a public awareness campaign to communicate the problems of meth use to the public. Prior to this unanimous decision, the team reviewed the public awareness campaign that was implemented in Montana, referred to as the Montana Meth Project. This campaign includes very graphic depictions and commentary about the effects meth has on the body, both physically and mentally, and that one "hit" of meth can quickly turn a life upside down. Research shows that the campaign has been extremely effective in accomplishing its four-fold mission.
The four goals set fourth by the committee in Montana were to increase the perceived risks of meth use, decrease the perceived benefits of meth (weight loss, popularity, more energy, etc.), increase parent-child discussions on meth and increase the social disapproval of meth use. The Montana Meth Project is only one of many public awareness campaigns the Utah Task Force will review prior to the development and implementation of a Utah-based public awareness campaign on meth. During subsequent meetings, the task force will continue to research the effectiveness of communication strategies in each of the campaigns that may be utilized as the committee works to develop messages that will work best to address the meth epidemic in Utah.
The meth epidemic in Utah is one dealt with primarily by county government--from law enforcement to treatment and environmental cleanup.
Whether it is a county sheriff's office, county courts, county health department, county substance abuse treatment programs or county correctional facilities, the county resources are being stretched as they address most of the elements associated with meth users.
It is due to this fact that Utah Association of Counties approached Governor Huntsman in 2005 to establish a joint task force of state and county officials and departments to approach the meth issue. For this purpose, the task force has come together and after several meetings the task force supports the concept of a traceable public awareness campaign that will affect the meth epidemic by addressing the harm caused by meth within our communities.
Although some of the task force members are hesitant to implement a public awareness campaign in Utah identical to the Montana Meth Project, the task force is currently in the research phase and will determine the campaign messaging that will be most effective in Utah.

We've been pondering the delights of swimwear lately. If the heat doesn't get to you, we don't know what will! Just try to avoid seeing all the cute sets in all the magazines. One of our favorites at the minute has to be the new swimwear and beachwear range from Debenhams.com. Many styles which go swimmingly (pun intended) with jeans! During our research, we came across some pretty useful tips, so thought we'd share!
If you're big up top, look for swimsuits with built in support for the chest but also with some eye-catching detail around the waist, such as ruching or a design, to draw attention away from your chest, Oprah recommends. If you are small-chested, pick styles that have padding in the bra section. Alternatively, emphasise your assets with eye-catching colors and prints. Small prints are best as they make an area look bigger. On a practical note, if you are planning on going for a swim, a heavily-padded suit may not be the best choice—it'll take ages to dry!
If your lower half is biggest, Glamour advises that you go for swimsuits and bikinis with high-leg cuts rather than boy shorts. We can see from their pictures that higher-cut options make legs look longer and the hip and derriere area look smaller. If you're really not about putting your body on display, strapless dresses look the part while you're lying on the beach. And, don't forget all the fun sandals out right now: chunky straps for daytime; leg-lengthening neutral tones for the evening. We feel armed to make our swimwear choices now, and we hope you feel the same!

Photographs of Sculpture on American Gravestones
An unusual but valuable collection at the American Antiquarian Society is that of the photographs of grave markers. Old burial grounds are treasure houses of early American sculpture and of historical and genealogical information. As Harriet Merrifield Forbes noted in her study on gravestones, "The colonists used their finest skill and raised their most enduring and characteristic works of art in memento mori." In recent years, however, these storehouses have been endangered by vandalism, natural erosion (hastened by air pollution), and theft.
The original core of the gravestone photographs collection at the Society consists of a gift given in 1930 by Harriet Merrifield Forbes. This author and pioneering photographer donated five volumes of photographs and hundreds of glass plate negatives. These negatives have since been copied onto modern film. The negatives are indexed in a card catalog that is arranged by town, with further subdivision by burial ground when needed.
There are approximately 1,260 negatives in this part of the collection, filed by last name of decedent. In addition, there are five boxes of Forbes papers, two of which contain correspondence and historical notes relating to gravestones and gravestone cutters.
The larger and more modern part of the collection is the gift from the late Daniel Farber and his wife, Jessie Lie Farber. Beginning in 1967 with a gift of three loose-leaf volumes, it has swelled to include ten volumes of photographs and approximately 9,000 individual photographs of some 7,500 tombstones. Cataloging data on the individual photographs includes indexes of carvers, locations, and decedents. Other data has been entered, but is not currently indexed.
The Farber Gravestone Collection is available online.
This collection, while not comprehensive, is very strong for central and southern New England, with scattered coverage of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Also here are photographs of stones from England, the Maritime Provinces of Canada, and the Middle Atlantic and southeastern United States. Most of the markers pictured were made prior to 1800.

Free Admission - Donation Only
Built in the 1850's, this home welcomed Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Among the many connections Pontiac has to Abraham Lincoln, one of the most interesting revolves around Lincoln's friendship with local attorney, Jason W. Strevell. Strevell was born in New York and migrated to Illinois in 1855. He was admitted to the Illinois bar that same year, and began his practice in Pontiac. He was involved in his legal practice here for twenty-four years. He served in the Illinois House of Representatives, and also had one term as a Senator. The house is currently being restored by the Livingston County Historical Society.

International Walldog Mural and Sign Art Exhibit
Exhibit featuring the history of outdoor sign and mural art. Videos, drawings, and artifacts tell the story of advertising art. Art work for sale. The International Walldog Mural & Sign Art Exhibit is dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of the outdoor wall advertising signs painted in the days before electronic mass media. The painters who created those early signs called themselves "Walldogs." The displays which are found at the museum tell the history of the early sign painters who created their art on the sides of brick buildings, barns, and other structures. Examples of those early signs can still be seen throughout the Midwest and, though faded, peeling, and sometimes barely readable, these "ghost signs" remain an important part of our collective cultural and commercial history.

Nine outdoor story boards help tell the stories associated with Lincoln's many visits to Pontiac. Pick up a map at the Visitor Center.

CKD Manual By: Mr.X
Mr.X CKD Manual
Part 1
I would like to dedicate this to Bart, without him I would not be writing this nor would I be the person that I am today.
by: Mr.X
So, you want to start a CKD. Now, what the hell is a CKD you ask? Well, a CKD (cyclo-ketonic-diet) is simply a diet that consists of two cycles: low/no-carbohydrates and high-carbohydrates. How do these two come together to actually make a diet, simply stated: they do, thats it. But, to be serious. A Ketonic diet is something that we all hear from Atkins, which is basically High-Fat, Moderate-Protein and Low/No-Carbs. Yet, this type of diet, although very effective for the average Joe, is not sufficient for a bodybuilders (weightlifters) needs.
Why? Well, once your muscle glycogen is depleted, your workouts become a pain in the ass, you are sluggish and muscle loss can occur. (due to the fact that no insulin is present in the system, there will be NO muscle gain while in Ketosis) Because, the main goal of Ketosis is to have no glycogen in the liver so glucagon can be released. (yada yada yada yada, well I dont think anyone cares about the technical aspect, so Ill get to the point)Basically, it all boils down to the following: Day 1-6 you eat High-Fat/Moderate-Protein/Low-No-Carbohydrates, then Day 7 you eat HIGH-GI carbohydrates and low-fat, in order to achieve supercompensation and refill muscle glycogen. (this will ensure quality training throughout every CKD cycle you do)
Mr.X, can you please just shut-up and give us some information on setting up a CKD.
YES, I can-------
Setting up a CKD (6days Ketosis/1day Carb-Up)
First-off, lets figure out your BMR (basal-metabolic-rate). Take your weight and multiply it by 12=daily calorie intake without a deficit.
(100lb person) Example: 100lb x 12cal= 1200cal 1200cal=BMR
Everything I put forth will revolve in one way or another around your BMR, so listen up.
Mr. X's Online Calorie Calculator
6/1 ratio (6 days in ketosis/1 day carb-up)
Figure out your BMR...(basal-metabolic-rate)=caloires needed to maintain current weight
weight x 12=BMR....(EXAMPLE: 100lb x 12=1200 cal a day)
Use the following fat/protein ratios w/ BMR deficit:
1-> 85%fat/15%protein--BMR-5%
2-> 75%fat/25%protein--BMR-10%
3-> 65%fat/35%protein--BMR-15%
4-> 70%fat/30%protein--BMR
5-> 70%fat/30%protein--BMR-10%
6-> 65%fat/35%protein--BMR-15%
Day-7-> (CARB-UP) BMR+30% ---I will go into detail on the
carb-up later in the article---
So, how do you calculate these percents and BMR. Well, lets use a 200lb person as an example of this.
EXAMPLE BASED ON 200lb PERSON:
200lb. x 12cal=2400cal (BMR)
Ketosis: Days 1-6:
Day 1: 85%fat/15%protein-- BMR-5%
2400cal (BMR) x .05=120cal (is 5% from BMR)
2400cal (BMR) 120 cal (5%deficit)=2280cal for day 1
---fat ratios for day 1---
2280cal x .85 (that is 85% fat)=1938cal from fat
Fat has 9 calories/gram
1938cal divided by 9cal/gram=215g fat for day 1
---now we need the protein ratios for day 1---
,p>2280cal x .15(that is 15%protein)=342 cal from protein
Protein has 4 calories/grams
342cal divided by 4cal/gram=86 g protein for day 1
Totals for Day-1: 215g fat/86g protein
Now, you might ask, why is the protein so low? Because protein can keep you out of Ketosis and, remember, everyday you are in Ketosis, you are burning fat while preserving muscle because Ketones (hence the name Ketosis) are protein sparing. Protein can convert to glycogen at almost 58% efficiency, so you see why excess protein is a bad idea. Plus, strictly from a scientific standpoint, a person can maintain current muscle mass at merely a 15%protein ratio, while no muscle gain is possible, maintenance is a very feasible idea with these ratios.
Day 2: 75%fat/25%protein-- BMR-10%
2400cal (BMR) x .10=240cal (is 10% from BMR)
2400cal (BMR) 240 cal (10%deficit)=2160cal for day 2
---fat ratios for day 2---
2160cal x .75 (that is 75% fat)=1620cal from fat
Fat has 9 calories/gram
1620cal divided by 9cal/gram=180g fat for day 2
---now we need the protein ratios for day 2---
2160cal x .15(that is 15%protein)=324 cal from protein
Protein has 4 calories/grams
324cal divided by 4cal/gram=81 g protein for day 2
Totals for Day-2: 180g fat/81g protein
Day 3: 65%fat/35%protein--BMR-15%
2400cal (BMR) x .15=360cal (is 15% from BMR)
2400cal (BMR) 360 cal (15%deficit)=2040cal for day 3
---fat ratios for day 3---
2040cal x .65 (that is 65% fat)=1326cal from fat
Fat has 9 calories/gram
1326cal divided by 9cal/gram=147g fat for day 3
---now we need the protein ratios for day 3---
2040cal x .35(that is 35%protein)=714 cal from protein
Protein has 4 calories/grams
714cal divided by 4cal/gram=178 g protein for day 3
Totals for Day-3: 147g fat/178g protein
Day 4: 70%fat/30%protein-- BMR
2400cal (BMR)
---fat ratios for day 4---
2400cal x .70 (that is 70% fat)=1680cal from fat
Fat has 9 calories/gram
1680cal divided by 9cal/gram=186g fat for day 4
---now we need the protein ratios for day 4---
2400cal x .30(that is 30%protein)=720 cal from protein
Protein has 4 calories/grams
720cal divided by 4cal/gram=180 g protein for day 4
Totals for Day-4: 186g fat/180g protein
Day 5: 70%fat/30%protein--BMR-10%
2400cal (BMR) x .10=240cal (is 10% from BMR)
2400cal (BMR) 240 cal (10%deficit)=2160cal for day 5
---fat ratios for day 5---
2160cal x .70 (that is 70% fat)=1512cal from fat
Fat has 9 calories/gram
1512cal divided by 9cal/gram=168g fat for day 5
---now we need the protein ratios for day 5---
2160cal x .30(that is 30%protein)=648 cal from protein
Protein has 4 calories/grams
648cal divided by 4cal/gram=162 g protein for day 5
Totals for Day-5: 168g fat/162g protein
Day 6: (same as day 3) 65%fat/35%protein-- BMR-15%
2400cal (BMR) x .15=360cal (is 15% from BMR)
2400cal (BMR) 360 cal (15%deficit)=2040cal for day 6
---fat ratios for day 6---
2040cal x .65 (that is 65% fat)=1326cal from fat
Fat has 9 calories/gram
1326cal divided by 9cal/gram=147g fat for day 6
---now we need the protein ratios for day 6---
2040cal x .35(that is 35%protein)=714 cal from protein
Protein has 4 calories/grams
714cal divided by 4cal/gram=178 g protein for day 6
Totals for Day-6: 147g fat/178g protein
Essential-Fatty-Acids: flaxseed oil, sesames seed oil, sunflower seed oil, grape seed oil, olive oil, peanut oil
Now, I know, I know. You want to know how to do this the easy way. Because, what Ive just shown beforehand is probably damn complicated. So, here is a simple rule-of-thumb way to break down your Ketosis ratios:
1)Set calories at: 12 cal/lb
2)Set protein intake: typically 0.9 g/lb. Protein has 4 cal/gram
3)Set fat intake: take protein calories and subtract them from total calories, then divide by 9 to get grams of fat.
In practice, most people end up eating about 1 gram of fat for every gram of protein. Ketosis almost always establishes with 1/1 ratios. (fat/protein -grams-)
Ive heard different ratios stated by different people on this subject, but as you know, opinions are like ass-holes everyone has one and it stinks. So, I will attempt to come up with a feasible ratios for you.
DAY 7: --carb-up BMR+30%
EXAMPLE FOR A 200lb PERSON:
2400cal (BMR) x .30= 720cal
2400cal + 720cal=3120cal
3120 x .70= 2185 cal from carbs
Carbohydrates have 4cal/g
2185cal divided by 4ca/g=546g carbs
3120 x .20=624cal from protein
Protein has 4cal/g
624cal divided by 4cal/g=156g protein
3120 x .10=312 cal from fat
Fat has 9cal/g
312 divided by 9=35g fat
Totals: 546g carbs/156g protein/35g fat
SAMPLE CARB-UP: (6meals) based on 200lb person
1-2: 150 g liquid glucose polymers...like carb powders (ex..carbo max, dextrose..etc.) w/ 1 scoop protein
3-4: 75 g of liquid and solid glucose polymers...sugar cereals (frosted flakes,honey-nut-cheerios..etc) w/ fat-free milk w/ 1/4 cup walnuts
5-6: 50 g of complex carbs (low-GI)...oatmeal, brown-rice, beans, yams, sweet potato w/ 1/4 cup walnuts
FRUCTOSE: (i.e. FRUITS)
Why is it that people say to avoid fructose? I've heard that quite a few times, and was curious why. How important is this? Fructose resupplies the liver with glycogen first, if the liver is full, then via the pentose phosphate pathway, all additional fructose goes to FAT.
I know that every reader wants a simple way to figure out a carb-up, so here it is:
1) Set total calories at: 16 cal/lb
2) Set protein intake: typically 0.2 g/lb. Protein has 4 cal/gram
3) Set fat intake: usually 0.1g/lb. Fat has 9cal/gram
4) Set carb. intake: add protein and fat calories and subtract it from total calories, then divide by 4 to get grams of carbs.
In practice, most people end up eating about 2.7 grams of carbs for every lb of weight.
So, what type of workout and cardio do you have to do while on CKD. Here is a sample workout routine based on a 6/1 CKD. (6day Ketosis/1day carb-up)
1- 30 min cardio morning(empty stomach)/workout: Chest, Upper-Back, shoulders, arms, traps, abs
2- 30 min cardio morning/ workout: Legs, (includes, calfs, hams,quads), lower-back
3- 45 min cardio morning OR 1 hour cardio during the day
5- 30-45 min cardio AM no workout
6- 30 min cardio AM/ full body workout = circuit training 3-5 times (very light 20-25reps)
7- before carb-up early in AM do a full body circuit workout 3-5 times (very light 20-25reps), then IMMEDIATELY begin CARB-UP.
-(DAY 1-6) For each bodypart do 1-2 exercises with 12-10-18-6 -dropset-12 reps---
ex: bench-press 12/10/8/6 drop set 12 reps
-You can increase the number of exercises for legs 1-3 with 12-10-8-6-12 reps---

CKD Manual By: Mr.X Mr.X CKD Manual part 2
Ok, now that I have given you way too much information to comprehend, I am going to load up a little more info about supplements and then were done.
Supplements you need for CKD:
FIBER soluble or any other form
Multi Vitamins(MV)/ Multi Minerals(MM)
(PPA stack on EliteFitness is a very good buy great quality too)
Take MV and MM two times a day (recommended dose), one in the morning and one in the afternoon (around 2-3pm)
Take each 1-3 pills AdipoKinetix with 25mg of ephedrine. 2-3 times a day.
Take Fiber supplementation 2 times a day once in the morning, and once before bed.
The only supplements that seem to reliably interrupt ketosis (that I've discovered at least) are vanadyl (seems to affect liver glycogen status) and citrimax (Hydroxycitric acid). Citric acid (found in diet sodas) kicks some people out of ketosis, but does not affect everybody. Aspartame also seems to affect some people but isn't consistent. The anti-oxidant n-acetyl-cysteine can give a false positive for ketosis, but that is all I can think of at the moment.
Basically, the only way to really negatively affect ketosis is by raising blood glucose, or affecting liver metabolism.
Oh yeah, and eating a bunch of carbs while in Ketosis will 100% kick you out of Ketosis.
The Cyclical Ketogenic Diet: True Fat Loss
In recent media, low carbohydrate diets have been THE fad for almost everybody in America wanting to lose weight. From your secretaries, elementary school teachers, and desk clerks, to bodybuilders, models, actresses, and athletes.
However, there is a huge difference between those who follow an Atkins plan and those who follow a cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD). Atkins is a low carb plan for those who are quite sedentary, walk maybe 3 times a week at the most, and just follow normal everyday activities. So forget Atkins here. The CKD is for those whos main concern is true fat loss and muscle preservationmuscle for sports and high intensity activities.
My opinion for those who practice Atkins is that while they do lose fat, there is much water loss and most importantly muscle loss. Something we athletes do not want. A CKD is a true fat loss diet that works undeniably, if followed properly and strictly. Yes, low carb diets can be hell at first, but after two to three weeks, there have been anecdotal reports from many dieters that the cravings for carbohydrates decrease. This route to fat burning is unlike any traditional diet all the low-fat diet authors and FDA people have been advocating in history.
I got turned onto this diet a few years back when I got tired of cutting fat and still not being able to lose those last percentage points of bodyfat without losing hard earned muscle. I would start a low-fat diet, and be a either a social misfit (not going out with my friends to party or not going out to eat). Or in the worse case, feel so deprived of delicious junk foods I missed and bail out on the diet all together. One advantage to this diet is that there is no true restrictions on food. One may eat anything labeled a "food"! Well, almost. Ill explain later.
How the diet works.
The science behind the CKD is simple. Carbohydrates in the diet cause an insulin (a "storage" hormone) output in the pancreas. It is used to store glycogen, amino acids into muscles, while causing excess calories to be stored as fat. So common sense asks me, "How can one try to break down fat, when your body is in a storage-type mode?" Difficult to do, indeed. That is why it makes perfect sense for step one to be cutting carbs.
The next thing that happens in your body is the rise in catecholamines (a "fat mobilizing" hormone), cortisol (a "breakdown" hormone), and growth hormone. Now your body realizes theres no more carbs to burn for energy, so it must find another energy source: fat.
This usually happens during a metabolic condition called "ketosis." This is when your liver is out of glycogen and starts to produce ketones (by-products of fatty acids). You can check your status of whether or not you are in ketosis with urinalysis strips you can pick up at any local drug store called "Ketostix." Just urinate and see if it turns color. If so, you have ketones in the urine.
When the body is fed fat and protein, it will use dietary fat along with bodyfat for energy with protein going towards repair.
As a side note, there is another reason why this diet makes the most sense to use while keeping muscle. When one follows a high carbohydrate, low-fat, reduced-calorie diet, theres a point when some bodyfat is burned, but when the body is still in a carbohydrate burning metabolism while trying to lose "weight," it will strip down precious body protein to convert to glucose for energy.
On the other hand, during fat metabolism, protein cannot be converted into free-fatty acids for energy. Although there is no scientific research done on this, there have been reports from followers that there truly is a "protein-sparing" effect. It makes sense doesnt it? Where else would the body look for fat energy when all dietary fat is burned? Bodyfat.
Diet Requirements Mon. to Fri.
The phrase "working smarter, not harder" applies here more than any diet one has tried. One must fully understand what they must do in order to optimize their goal. To set a CKD up, one cannot just expect to cut all carbs in the diet, train hard, and lose fat! Although some have come up with variations to this plan, the one stated in this article, I have found, has worked for myself (it got me to 6% BF), and other clients Ive trained to the leanest, hardest theyve ever been.
First, to set up the diet, write down your lean mass weight. Not your total weight, dough boy. If you weigh 200, but have 20% bodyfat, your lean mass weight would be around 160 pounds. Multiply this by one, getting your grams of protein requirements for a day. Make sure you eat at least one gram of protein/pound of lean mass! This is important in recovery from workouts and enough nitrogen retention to keep muscle. Next, multiply by four, to get your protein calories. Here, it is 640.
The rest of your caloric requirements for the day should be fat. Here is the catch: you must eat fat to burn fat. Theres no way around it. There are many advantages to dietary fat on this diet: Feeling of fullness since fat digestion is slow (less hunger), tastes great, and lowers blood glucose levels (lowering insulin and allow all the fat burning hormones to do their job).
So how much fat? I always recommend starting out with a 500 calorie deficit from your maintenance calories. If you dont know, it is usually 15 times body weight (full body weight here) depending on an individuals metabolic rate. So here, the example would need 3000 calories a day to maintain weight, and 2500 calories to begin fat loss.
2500 minus 640 (protein calories) is 1860 which works out to be around 206 fat grams a day. Now as you go deeper into the diet, and find the need to restrict calories more, you must cut fat calories, not protein.
The Weekend Carb Load
Since muscle glycogen is the main source of energy for anaerobic exercise such as weight training, we cannot simply deplete all stores while working out and not fill them back up. If that does happen, be rest-assured that the body WILL use protein for fuel then. But this wont happen on the CKD.
Your one and a half days of "freedom" allow you to do two things: First, reward your carb cravings from the previous days, allowing you to enjoy pleasures like pizza, pasta, breads, etc. Second, eating these things are physiologically rewarding as insulin levels run high, storing amino acids and carbs, as glycogen, into the depleted muscle allowing you to be able to workout again the following week.
Your "carb-up" should begin Friday night and last until around midnight Saturday. Now the next important issue to address is how many carbs. Some lucky individuals find that they eat whatever they want for the 24-30 hour time interval and receive perfect glycogen compensation, while others rely on a better statistical number.
What has been recommended by other authors of the CKD is 10-12 grams of carbs per kilogram of lean mass. Again, time to do math. Our example had 160 pounds of lean mass, so divide that by the conversion factor of 2.2, and we get roughly 73 kg.
100 Grams of easily digested liquid carbs along with around half as many grams of carbs in protein (here 50) as a whey shake or something of that nature should be taken right after the last workout (which I will address in the workout section of the article) when insulin sensitivity will be at its greatest.

CKD Manual By: Mr.X Part 3
A few hours later this individual will start to spread the remaining 630 grams of carbs, along with the important number of 160 grams of protein (remember, keep this constant) during the remainder of the compensation period.
So what about dietary fat? I know youre reminding yourself, "Didnt this guy mention pizza?" Yes, I did. And heres why. During the first 24-30 hours of carbing up, the body will use all dietary carbohydrates to refill glycogen, protein for rebuilding, and get this: fat for energy. Still?
Just like the previous five and a half days. Makes sense. When all the carbohydrates are being used for more important functions (muscle), what else is there to be used? However, you cant just eat all the fat you want. Keep grams of fat intake below your body weight in kilograms. Again, here our example will keep is fat below 73 during the carb-fest.
By anecdotal reports, this should keep fat regain minimal to nil. Keeping fat intake extremely low has even caused some extra fat burning during the carb up!
But people who have tried this, myself included, have complaints about insulin swings from the quick digestion of carbs: High, low, high, low. Not very fun when you want to enjoy your weekend. Some just fall into a sugar coma and sleep all day. Kind of like after eating all those sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie after Thanksgiving dinner. Its not ONLY the tryptophan in turkey that causes sleep!
As stated before, some dietary fat should be eaten to slow digestion and keep sugar levels stable. Whether it be saturated, unsaturated, or essential fats, is the dieters decision. All have nine calories per gram. (Note: there is a claim that essential fatty acids such as flax seed oil increase insulin sensitivity within the muscle cells, in turn, increasing glycogen intake.)
In Case You Missed It
So heres how it breaks down during the week: Sunday through Friday afternoon , you will follow the low carb diet outlined above. Eat fat and protein all day everyday except on workout days because after workouts, you will need to consume strictly just proteinno fat or carbs.
Some have found to enjoy a protein shake afterwards because they are easily digested. Do whatever works for you. But fat is not logical since you want the protein to fuel the healing process as quickly as possible and fat will only slow it down.
Friday afternoon, around two hours before your last workout of the week, eat two to three pieces of fruit. This will get your body/liver ready to start the carb loading and give you some energy for that final, dreadful workout (trust me, during the first few weeks, you will not want to do that final workout, but you must). Then from Friday night until Saturday at midnight or until bed, eat those carbs!
CKD Workout
Now, the question is, how do we workout to optimize muscle preservation and keep our metabolism up while dieting? Before we get into that, one must realize that during any dieting scheme there is one thing that must be done, and one thing that must not be done.
First, you must keep training volume lower than your usual routine. Overtraining is probably the number one killer in motivation, it deprives sleep, and hinders fat loss.
Second, you must not fall into the myth of lighter weights with higher reps. You got your muscle by benching 240, and you have to bench 240 to keep that same muscle! Or at least around that area! Okay, now that we have that established, heres what we do:
On Monday and Tuesday we will work our weaker body parts, rest or cardio on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, Thursday do our strongest body parts, and Friday a combination of the Monday/Tuesday workouts in a loop format. The workout I have found to work optimally for myself and my clients is this:
(Note: You may feel free to tweak, shake, and turn this example upside down.
Everybody is different, so find what works for you.)

Stiffleg deadift 1 set, 8-10 reps
Normal floor ab crunch 2 sets, 10-20 reps
Reverse crunches 2 sets, 10-20 reps
Start the carb up for 24-30 hours!
Before we go on, I want to address the cardio/aerobics issue. Some people find that for the first month on a CKD, cardio/aerobics is not needed. However when fat loss does start to slow down a bit, that is when most start adding 30 min. sessions on their off days. Be careful though, you do not want to hinder your Thursday leg workout. So experiment and try to only add aerobic sessions if you feel you have to.
So we have the basic diet outline stated, the workout, now what about supplements? Things that can extremely optimize this diet regime. Well, I have to admit no allegiance to any supplement company on this one: Water. Water is important on any diet, especially low carb since there is a diuretic effect, and more importantly during the carbing period. Glycogen is stored with water! You need as much water as possible to hydrate the depleted muscle. Trust me, you will feel a huge "pump" on Sunday morning from all the stored carbs and water INSIDE your muscle.
Speaking of muscle, the god of all sports supplement right now: Creatine. It can still be used on a low carb diet. Usually 10 grams a day during the low carb days, and around 20-30 grams during the carbing period should work for most everybody. I highly recommend it for everybody who doesnt get an upset stomach using it.
Finally, one that everyone thats dieted before knows about: The ECA stack. Most have not used pure ECA, but mainly herbal extracts in thermogenic products sold by sports supplement companies. For a pre-work out boost and increased fat burning through thermogenics (heat), this is my favorite supplement. It does its job, you feel it happening, and it can help you psychologically when you dont feel like working out that day.
With all this said, I will throw my personal opinion, thanks and motivation on or for the cyclical ketogenic diet. First of all, to me, it is the greatest diet every developed. It makes sense, works and isnt as hard to follow as one might think. Just stay motivated and concentrate on your goal.
When you have a craving during the week for that cupcake or pasta, just go eat a delicious serving of some pepperoni and melted mozzarella cheese. Or how about a hamburger patty covered in cheddar cheese and some strips of bacon? Foods that are delicious and that can satiate hunger.
I followed this exact plan this past summer for eight weeks and loss 18 pounds of fat without any loss in muscle. It was the leanest and most vascular I had ever seen myself.
And I must give thanks where thanks are due since I did not come up with this diet. Dan Duchaine, who recently passed away, brought my attention to a CKD with his book BodyOpus and Lyle McDonald has done deep research and wrote his book The Ketogenic Diet: A Complete Guide for the Dieter and Practitioner.
This diet can be for you. Oh youre only a mass builder? Well, lower bodyfat percentages even make you look bigger! Give it some thought and decide. Then achieve your goal. Its worth it: A diet with true fat loss.

Dear Editor,
The article titled "Temple Mountain Troubles" dated 12/28/04 clearly points out the many injustices the BLM has imposed on the citizens of Emery County and on the State of Utah.
Two years ago the BLM came out with a travel plan. This travel plan closed hundreds of miles of roads, jeep trails, ATV trails and single track motorized trails. The BLM handed out thousands of travel maps for users to follow. At Temple Mountain the BLM fenced off a road that was open according to the current travel plan. The BLM expects the users to follow the travel plan and stay on the designated routes; however, the BLM does not follow the same travel plan. How hard was it for the BLM staff to look at the travel map and see that this was an open route? Maybe it was pure arrogance in that the BLM can do whatever it wants. Either way it flat out stinks.
The article points out that many of the old mining equipment and cars were removed from Temple Mountain and taken to the landfill. This "junk" is part of the history of this area, a reflection of the mining history in Emery County. Someone at the BLM felt that this "junk" is of no value to the citizens of Emery County. The BLM has put out a draft RMP. In this RMP, the BLM refers to several areas that are recommended for ACEC protection because of the mining history. I find it interesting that the BLM can propose ACECs to protect mining history and on the other hand take the historical mining objects at Temple Mountain to the landfill. This sure does not make a lot of sense.
It really makes a person wonder what the BLM is up to. It sure has the appearance that personal agendas are being followed rather than solid management and providing opportunity for the citizens of Emery County to enjoy the vast mining history in our backyard. What's next?
