More Gironda geinus!!
More Information From The Iron Guru, Vince Gironda
by Bob Green
Four sides to a muscle, Aminos with added Amino-Lysine,
specialization and how do I avoid the screaming car cutting in front
of me on the freeway were all on my mind this glorious spring
day. Once again I had taken my life in my own hands and was
driving down to North Hollywood to finish the last of about 20
interviews I was doing with my friend and mentor, Vince Gironda.
I couldn'tt pass it up. Over the past 6 or 7 months we had cut so
many marvelous tapes, gotten so much mail just from the first
installment printed in Iron Man, that I had to put my other
interviews on the back burner.
We had tried so many of these new revelations Vince has come up
with in my home gym, as well as the Oxnard Fitness Center, that I
just couldn'tt quit now. I mean, you talk about results? Im serious.
Vince has been working with two champion bodybuilders, too. Roy
Duval and Mohamed Makkawy. The results can be seen in their
recent photos and the marvelous letters of gratitude theyve sent
Gironda. Please allow me to transcribe this last tape for you in
which we cover all sorts of valuable goodies, including Glandulars,
which are becoming more and more popular.
BG Vince, we left off on the last side of the tape about some of
the flack youve gotten on your high-fat diet. You realise, of
course, that with all the recent data fats are being perceived more
and more as no-nos.
V First of all I use my diets for SPECIFIC goals. You must
also understand that many of the articles read in magazines are
derived from OTHER WRITTEN SOURCES; without very much,
if any, follow-up research. Theyre not experimenters. I use the
high-fat diet, or I should say I USED the high fat diet in my mid-
30s. I didnt write about it or tell anybody about it for years for
one reason or another.
It worked for me; I found a diet that SUSTAINED me. Sustained
me with a minimum of food. I was in Positive Nitrogen balance
and I needed an energy source that lasted longer than an hour and a
half. I needed a 6-hour energy source which is fat. There are
some experiments that Im going to conduct on fats that are 100
years old. I guess you might say Ill spring it on the unsuspecting
physique world. Maybe I should consume a quart of lard everyday
and then let someone take cholesterol and triglyceride tests, ha, ha.
Ive had Old World practices for longevity prove themselves so
many times over.
There are some fascinating nutritional practices that Emil Bonet
made me aware of years ago. He saw these fantastically developed
European handbalancers that looked like Olympic weightlifters,
heavyweight division. He marvelled at their development and he
tried he went backstage to talk to these performers who were
very much peasant stock, middle Europeans trying to get out of the
hole by performing. He observed them drinking lard!
BG Oh, my Pritikin would come in here and have you arrested
by an army if he heard you say that. I know that the first guy to
teach me weightlifting in the 50s was a Hungarian refugee. He ate
lard sandwiches. I thought it was a carry-over from hard times, but
both his parents were working and he was living a fairly good life
in Southern California. Certainly not in a ghetto area. I asked him
about it; maybe old habits, but he swore by this practice. He was a
superb athlete and went on to become one of the youngest tennis
pros in the state.
V Yes. I believe it. Sounds hard to believe, I know. I feel its the
other stuff we put in our bodies plus a lack of exercise that
confounds our use of fats. Pritikin doesnt have a 19 arm either.
He sits around and plays with computers. He didnt come up with
his formula. Reels and reels of computer tape did. And its still
only theory.
In defence of cholesterol and fat, let me bring up something that is
very carefully hidden by the drug companies involved: when the
cholesterol controversy first came to light, there was a drug put out
that emulsified cholesterol. And they still have well; theyve
probably settled the claims by now. There were very heavy
lawsuits. People that lost their hearing, eyesight, hair, skin turned
to leather. Sexual proclivities, ah, a general loss of everything but
life. Because they were taking these cholesterol-emulsifying drugs
that were supposed to work. Well, the drug did work and those
were the problems.
Many patients that were older even went into senility. Remember
that the brain is around 80 percent, or so, cholesterol. Dont quote
me on that figure, but suffice it to say that the largest part of the
brains makeup is cholesterol. You cannot regenerate male
hormone without cholesterol. Kinda important to bodybuilders and
weightlifters, eh?
Again, and Ive said it so many times its boring, cholesterol isnt
the culprit in the first place! I see that many medical examiners are
now starting to agree with me. They shouldve been reading some
of the reports in Iron Man over the decades! Sometimes I wonder if
Iron Man and a few others dont have closer pulse to health than
the AMA Journal and what not or so-called sanctioned material.
Lets say it was Triglycerides. I think you wrote some stuff on
that in the early 70s, Bob. Well, so did I. the problem lies in the
carrier. Who are these people that are having trouble? Trouble
with these (related) problems. People that are inactive in the first
place! Especially those that have NEVER been active. Ive sold
people in here vitamins that have never had a vitamin in their life!
Hard to believe nowadays. Never had a vitamin? So you can
imagine what youll find walking around out there, as far as
general health is concerned. They dont know what a good meal
Many of these people are naturally hypertensive because of their
poor diet. Theyre prone to everything: heart disease,
arthritis What is disease? Its a breakdown of the entire organism.
Theres no one thing you can pinpoint. Lets get these people back
into general good health again Then we can treat the weak links.
Before you prescribe anything- get them back into overall good
health. At least as much as possible. Hopefully you get them before
the dam breaks.
BG This has become quite a dissertation on health, Vince and I
think the readers will enjoy it and be motivated into working on
their health. Since were on diet, supplements and so fourth let
me hit you with a rimshot: GLANDULARS. Big stuff. A viable
alternative. I know youve been using them here for years and
years, but with some of these new products coming out I think you
should come out with some orientation to these substances. I
know the troops would appreciate it.
V Well, one of the Glandulars I havent mentioned to date,
thats being used in this gym, due to the fact that we dont promote
synthetic steroids, are the various hormone precursors. And one of
these hormone precursors is ORCHIC tissue.
(Authors note: in the previous article I mentioned this, but it was
on the same tape. At the time of the taping Vince hadnt mentioned
it before. I choose to work two articles out of the same taping
because there was so much information involved. This taping was
done around Easter time of 1982).
BG Yes, you have mentioned Pituitary and Adrenals in our
previous works. Most of the products seem to just throw in a
combination of these goodies and so be it.
V Pituitary and Adrenals are very important to (at this point I
interrupted Vince about these and then we ended up back on the
ORCHIC). Orchic is taken from gonad tissue of healthy source
animals. Man has used it for centuries as a strength aid and an ageregression
thing. A rejuvenator. Its the oldest remedy known to
man. Along these lines.
BG Yeah, some of the old menus for bull testicles, yecchh,
Rocky Mountain Oysters and the lot. Sweetbreads to the max, eh?
V Adrenal is the number one, the main glandular to take
because the Adrenals have an effect on 40 other glands. Pituitary
also is, uh; a growth has a growth hormone. It promotes growth.
Adrenals-Pituitary. Then comes Orchic. All these others are just a
spark plug for Orchic. I have to laugh at some of these products
that are out now. I mean, if youre going by their labels.
I think weve mentioned Adrenal Exhaustion, for instance. This is
what overstimulization produces. Kinda like a chemical version of
overtraining. And, for that matter, overtraining overtonus leads
to the chemical-hormonal overstimulus of Adrenals. Have I lost
you? (NO). Cortisone produces a breakdown. Adrenal exhaustion.
Sure, Cortisone is a great pickup (in injuries) for a one-time shot. A
sore elbow, for example. But repetitive use can only exhaust
your adrenals.
BG Now, when the people use these Glandulars I know your
son, and we mentioned this in one tape, got quite a reaction,
POSITIVELY in the long run, but did get a certain tension or
whatever. Was he on a lot of Adrenals or what?
V He took Adrenals 2 hrs. Prior to working out. Then he tried
them an hour prior to working out. The first time, he would always
apologise for his change in attitude. He became very pugnacious.
Aggressive. And he would excuse himself for his personality. We
recently found, however, it is much more advisable to take one
feeding before the workout, but for real growth AFTER the
workout. Now we are supporting that concept, again by Dr.
Ameduri, the thing we found in the 60s, when wed workout and
then go reinforce the aminos by eating steak across the street, ah,
after the first part of the workout. For the average guy AFTER
the workout.
My son took them first (before w.o.) As a set-up. Then he took
them afterwards to REINFORCE his exhausted adrenals.
BG You know what I would like to try: balancing the Amino-
Lysine with the glandulars.
V We have! Nucleo-Gland M&F. One for the males and one for
the females. Its got the Amino-Lysine in it. So if you were to take
this stuff and the aminos to balance the Amino-Lysine well, lets
not give away the whole candy store. Were telling the people
more than they every got right now!
Lets at least tell em what Nucleo-Gland M is. Since there are
more males dealing with this situation than females. Nucleo-Gland
M is a specific combo of gonadotropic elements, whereas the F
is based on elements relating to female needs. Here. Read off the
supporting factors for the tape recorder of the M product.
Basically, the M formula substantiates or shores up the male
hormone; the major reason we take glands for. Thats what the
whole thing is about precursing the male hormone. Or female.
Whichever you choose to be.
BG I cant read it! Do you have another bottle? (He didnt) His
product information was at his house and I am sorry, readers. I
have to borrow a car to get down here for these interviews. Its not
a game Im trying to play; I have nothing to do with any
commercial enterprise with Vinces products or Vince or anything
and I feel bad. These interviews are special. At least to me. Im the
guy busting his butt to get them. If youre one of these detail types
please write to Vince. Hell get you the information. Obviously I
have failed simply out of timing and I feel terrible. Please be
advised: I AM NOT PLAYING A GAME WITH IRON MAN
READERS. I never have! Due to circumstances, I cant give you
the first ingredient and the fact it has a significant potency of 60
mgs. Probably wont help you. The guy sells this jazz like hotcakes
and Im down here on a Sunday! Wouldnt you know it? Just send
to Vince and order a darn bottle or something. Im trying.
Shoot! All right, well move right along to the next ingredient:
Whole Pituitary Substance 60 mgs. (Note: check your glandular
product, if youre using one. Ask the manufacturer what KIND of
Pituitary Substance he uses. Ive got 3 different glandular products
here in front of me. Remember that Im transcribing a taped
interview done on the scene. Im now at home and have picked up
some of these products to compare. YOURE GOT TO BE
KIDDING! I know now that I MUST get back down to Vinces
and well cut a tape on some of the nonsense going on in this area.
I must say that I had no idea because I was off into other things and
hadnt paid attention. Let the buyers beware. I hope I can help you
in this area.)
Moving right along by using the right kind of whole Pituitary
substance, theyre only going with 10 mgs. Thats smart. Its also
impressive. I have interviewed guys that got onto the wrong kind
of Pituitary substance and some got zero results while others ended
up with REAL problems. I know one guy up in Ventura
BG Well, I realise that, but lets finish this line of thought first
before you and I get carried away into details like we often do. Let
me continue for a moment on this Nucleo-Gland M. Ahhh, what
else do we have here? Suprarenals 60 mgs. Thymus 60 mgs.;
Pancreas 60 mgs.; Kidney 60 mgs.; Heart 60 mgs. And RNA
60 mgs. All in a base of Kelp. THATS interesting. Kelp.
Remember back in the 60s when I did my first research paper for
you? It was on Kelp for an information sheet; one of many you
always have for members. The second one I did for you was on
V Ah, yes and that brings up another point: LIVER. Everybody
is looking for the new thing thatll revolutionise their progress.
And there HAS been some tremendous strides made in the field of
nutrition. After all, here we are talking about glandulars. BUT
Things like LIVER. Liver is still one of the most potent training
aids there is? It has stood the test of time.
Look, dont forget about the aminos and blood-builders in liver.
And, in context to what we are talking about here- THE GROWTH
1. Liver contains a growth factor as yet unnamed, but isolated.
2. Better workouts mean more growth and liver has that wonderful
energy metabolism factor that resists muscular fatigue.
3. There is an anti-estrogen factor, too.
This helps the male bodybuilder keep his Testosterone level up.
Balance. We all have some male and female hormones in us and if
the balance is thrown off the male bodybuilder is on an uphill fight
to keep his testosterone levels high enough to build muscle.
So eat your eggs, baby. And keep your levels right up there by
taking ORCHIC, balance your glandulars, take liver tabs and
aminos and keep your Nitrogen level constant.
BG Thanks, Vince. We appreciate your sharing these things
with us and bringing up ideas we may not thought of or simply
passed over in our haste to get there. You dont get these insights
all the time and I hope the readers appreciate it. I know I do.
(From Iron Man, January 1983)

Saddle was on sale at an extremely low price, so I purchased two. One for my trainer and one for my race bike. So far, with a few hundred miles of road time, the saddle is great. Way less numbness than my previous tri-specific saddle. Recommended.

It is a great option. I have struggled to find a tt position that I could hold for a 40K. This was it. I had tried the pro logue as well but this is more comfortable. I am also trying it on my road bike as well as I found even on a trainer where movement can be very restricted this saddle provided unmatched comfort

It seems that it's virtually impossible for IT to meet all business demands with current budgets, resources, and approaches. But the business keeps changing and IT needs to respond rapidly and innovate in order to stay relevant to the organization.
Why does IT struggle to innovate?
According to Gartner and other analyst reports:
• 80%-85% of IT budgets are spent just "Keeping the Lights On" (KTLO)
• Backlogs are compounding annually at a rate of 10%-20%
• 2% of the initial cost of an application is spent year after year to maintain it
In this eBook we explore the root causes of IT inefficiency and discuss methods companies have used to overcome them, turning their IT departments into innovation superstars.

A trough extends from this cold front through the interior of Western Australia to a low-pressure system in the north-west, where some storms are occuring. Another low pressure trough lies across northern Australia, with the embedded ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred near the south of the Gulf of Carpentaria. Enhanced shower and thunderstorm activity is still evident near the ex-TC. Low cloud is present along the east coast, especially in northern New South Wales, due to the high pressure system in the Tasman Sea pushing moist oceanic air onto land.

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
Birth weight is one of the handful of statistics many new parents tell their friends and family about their new baby – along with length, time of birth, gender, and name. If your baby is born within the normal range of weight for his or her gestational age, he or she is said to be AGA, or appropriate for gestational age. However, some babies are born outside of the AGA – either too big or too small – which can be caused by a variety of factors, some benign and others serious.
Low Birth Weight
One in 13 babies is born with low birth weight - also referred to as small for gestational age (SGA)- which is a factor in 65 percent of all infant deaths, according to the March of Dimes. A baby is considered to have low birth weight if he or she weighs less than 5 lbs. 8 oz. at birth (2500 grams).
There are two categories of low birth weight:
Preterm birth – Babies born before 37 weeks are considered preterm and account for more than 60 percent of low birth weight babies.
Growth restricted – Babies who are full-term but underweight may have suffered from slowed or restricted growth in the womb. Growth restriction may be caused by several things, including:
Environmental factors, such as maternal smoking, drinking or drug use and poor nutrition
Severe anemia
Chromosomal abnormalities
Infections (such as syphilis, toxoplasmosis, or rubella)
Twins or multiple births
There are two sub-categories of growth restriction: symmetrical and asymmetrical growth restriction. A baby with symmetrical growth restriction will be born with a head that is in proportion to the rest of his or her body, which indicates he or she developed slowly throughout the pregnancy. Causes of symmetrical growth restriction include early intrauterine infection, chromosomal abnormalities, and maternal substance abuse. A baby born with asymmetrical growth restriction developed normally for the first two trimesters, but was stalled in the third, often due to preeclampsia. Such a baby has a thin, small body but large head; dry, peeling skin; and a thin umbilical cord.
Although scientific studies have been conflicting, babies with low birth weights are thought to be at greater risk for type 2 diabetes, obesity later in life (as are babies with high birth weight), and lower intelligence.

Barack Obama addressing a crowd at the Virginia Beach Convention Center in 2008. Photo by SyalAntilles. CC-SA. In a new article, Douglas A. Blackmon, contributing editor at The Washington Post and chair and host of the Miller Center Forum, analyzes the role of the South in the 2012 election. According to Blackmon, President Obama's strong finish in the South presents a surprising story and underscores another challenge to the GOP, which has relied on Southern whites as their base of national support. In the 2012 election, Obama outperformed every Democratic nominee since Carter in Southern coastal states and significantly narrowed past gaps between Democratic and Republican candidates. Furthermore, the 2012 election revealed a deepening voting divide between blacks and whites. For example, Blackmon cites exit polls in Mississippi where nearly nine of ten white voters cast their ballot for Mitt Romney and 96 percent of black voters cast their ballots for Obama. Differences in turnout rates amongst black and whites in Southern states also contributed to Obama's strong finish. While Southern whites voted overwhelmingly for Romney, far fewer went to the polls in at least six Southern states on Election Day compared to 2008. Meanwhile, black voters came out in droves, contradicting expectations of Republican pollsters. The results reveal that the Republican Party will need to address the concerns of African Americans, in addition to Hispanics and other minorities if it wishes to be competitive in future elections.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. An object that has motion - whether it is vertical or horizontal motion - has kinetic energy. There are many forms of kinetic energy - vibrational (the energy due to vibrational motion), rotational (the energy due to rotational motion), and translational (the energy due to motion from one location to another). To keep matters simple, we will focus upon translational kinetic energy. The amount of translational kinetic energy (from here on, the phrase kinetic energy will refer to translational kinetic energy) that an object has depends upon two variables: the mass (m) of the object and the speed (v) of the object. The following equation is used to represent the kinetic energy (KE) of an object.
KE = 0.5 • m • v2
where m = mass of object
v = speed of object
This equation reveals that the kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of its speed. That means that for a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four. For a threefold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of nine. And for a fourfold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of sixteen. The kinetic energy is dependent upon the square of the speed. As it is often said, an equation is not merely a recipe for algebraic problem solving, but also a guide to thinking about the relationship between quantities.
Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity; it does not have a direction. Unlike velocity, acceleration, force, and momentum, the kinetic energy of an object is completely described by magnitude alone. Like work and potential energy, the standard metric unit of measurement for kinetic energy is the Joule. As might be implied by the above equation, 1 Joule is equivalent to 1 kg*(m/s)^2.
Use your understanding of kinetic energy to answer the following questions. Then click the button to view the answers.
1. Determine the kinetic energy of a 625-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 18.3 m/s.
KE = (0.5) * (625 kg) * (18.3 m/s)2
KE = 1.05 x105 Joules
2. If the roller coaster car in the above problem were moving with twice the speed, then what would be its new kinetic energy?
KE = 0.5*m*v2
KE = 0.5*625 kg*(36.6 m/s)2
KE = 4.19 x 105 Joules
3. Missy Diwater, the former platform diver for the Ringling Brother's Circus, had a kinetic energy of 12 000 J just prior to hitting the bucket of water. If Missy's mass is 40 kg, then what is her speed?
12 000 J = (0.5) * (40 kg) * v2
300 J = (0.5) * v2
600 J = v2
v = 24.5 m/s
4. A 900-kg compact car moving at 60 mi/hr has approximately 320 000 Joules of kinetic energy. Estimate its new kinetic energy if it is moving at 30 mi/hr. (HINT: use the kinetic energy equation as a "guide to thinking.")
The KE is directly related to the square of the speed. If the speed is reduced by a factor of 2 (as in from 60 mi/hr to 30 mi/hr) then the KE will be reduced by a factor of 4. Thus, the new KE is (320 000 J)/4 or 80 000 J.

Baton-Wielding 'Ninjas' Foil Medical Marijuana Delivery
A medical marijuana delivery in West Covina, Calif., was foiled early this morning after two men dressed as ninjas and wielding martial arts batons approached a deliveryman and stole a bag of cash and product.
Somehow, police are taking the dispensary worker's allegations seriously, and not just as a burnout lying his way out of a jam. ("Yeah, man, these fuckin' ninjas, man, they just came outta nowhere, man...")
The two ninjas were dressed in all black, had masks over their faces, and were carrying "tonfa," a specialized martial arts weapon. The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports that police are "not aware of any other recent crimes involving suspects dressed as ninjas," so if you lost (or smoked) a lot of medical marijuana in the Los Angeles area recently, there's an idea, man.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Coach Casey Fluckey has her Pirate volleyball team in a great position to advance to the play-offs this season. With three region games remaining on their schedule, Green River has a 4-1 region record.
"Although we are playing as a team with the girls really being unified in their efforts for us to excel." Fluckey is concerned because, "We have two home games left, we have not been playing well at home. We have been playing better on the road this season, which is probably backwards for the way that it is supposed to be," stated Coach Fluckey.
Green River has won four games in a row after an opening loss to Monticello at home. They defeated Navajo Mountain 26-24, 25-18 and 25-22 on Sept. 23. They then defeated Monument Valley 25-19, 25-15 and 25-20 the next day.
Last week they won two games, first defeating Whitehorse 25-20, 25-23, 19-25 and 25-21 and then defeating Navajo Mountain again 23-25, 25-23, 25-10 and 25-23.
The Pirates host Monument Valley this Friday night before they close out the region season next week with two games. On Thurs. Oct. 13, they travel to Monticello looking to overcome an earlier loss and then host Whitehorse on Friday night.
Green River has been playing seven girls on the varsity team. McKenzie Spadafora has been a big difference this season. She has been a defensive specialist, which means she wears an odd colored uniform, and has done a great job from the back line. She doesn't get to serve and she doesn't get to play the front line, she just plays the back line and has been very good at it. According to Fluckey, "She has been the biggest difference this year."
With only the first place team guaranteed to go to state, as the others will have play-in games, the team has a lot to play for these next three games. Good luck Pirates.

About The Rainbows
One of Washington, D.C.'s pioneering vocal groups, the Rainbows recorded three singles titled after women's names: "Mary Lee," "Shirley," and "Minnie." "Mary Lee" was released on Morgan "Bobby" Robinson's Red Robin label in 1955; the Rainbows on that record consisted of lead singer Ronald "Posie" Miles, John Berry, and other unknown members who left after the release ran its course. Red Robin leased "Mary Lee" to Pilgrim Records, who promoted it into a small regional hit. For its follow-up, "Shirley" (1956), Berry recruited Chester Simmons and Don Covay to form the lineup most associated with the group. Copies of "Shirley" can be found on three different labels -- Pilgrim, Argyle, and Red Robin -- but none did it any justice. D.C. disc jockey Jay Ferry played the Rainbows locally, but DJs in other cities weren't as loving. "Minnie" on Rama Records in 1957 became their swan song, and despite popularity in Washington, the sales were disappointing and the group disbanded. At least four tracks -- "Baraboo," "Honey Hush," "Jelly Bean," and "The Bug" -- are still rotting in Red Robin's vaults. Covay became a solo act and scored with "Have Mercy" and "See Saw"; he was more successful as a writer and supplied material to many artists. John Berry also took to songwriting, cranking out more than 125 titles registered with BMI; his most successful, "Pony Time," became a hit for Chubby Checker. Simmons and fill-ins Marvin Gaye, James Nolan, and Reese Palmer formed the Marquees. ~ Andrew Hamilton, Rovi

Day 1 Recap - The Flames Sit and Watch
Pat Steinberg
June 26 2010 01:00AM
Kinda tough to do anything when you have no picks in the first round, and the Calgary Flames didn't do much (anything) on Friday night, much to the chagrin of many of their fans who were hoping for a big splash. There was plenty of action on the draft floor, headlined by a historic night for Calgary's provincial foes in Edmonton. However, on day one of action at the NHL Entry Draft in Los Angeles, the Flames could only be observers.
That's not to say that Darryl Sutter didn't try. We heard from the Flames General Manager Thursday, and he said he doesn't anticipate the Flames doing very much in terms of movement. Well, at least on day one, that held true. However, Sutter was working the room, as any GM would; from FlamesNation's perch on the draft floor, we saw him talking with Hawks GM Stan Bowman just before the 30th pick. In fact, when Commissioner Bettman went up to announce the trade, I was sure it was going to be an announcement the Flames had moved up. It wasn't, as it turned out being the Islanders who made the move...but I was hopeful.
There were rumours right when the day started suggesting Sutter and the Flames might be trying to move up to the first round. I asked Darrly following the final pick of the round, and he said it wasn't going to be easy to move up into the top 30. He also said that a lot of the guys in the mid to late first round are comparable in quality to the type of guy you can draft when Calgary picks in the third round. Sutter pointed to a deep draft with a not a ton of high end talent, but a lot of quality players that can be probable future NHLers.
A few respected writers and hockey media people had thrown around speculation of a Jason Spezza deal involving the Flames and Senators, however that was shot down fairly quickly as well. Ottawa GM Bryan Murray said Thursday there's nothing going on with Jason, and he reiterated it on Friday saying he hasn't received a ton of serious interest on his star forward. Will interest from other teams get ramped up on Saturday? Or as we move closer to July 1st? Maybe...but for now, it seems he's staying put.
When asked about day two of the draft, Sutter says he's excited and ready to make some good picks with his seven picks. I still believe there's a strong possibility he moves into the second round, however what that asking price is I'm not totally sure. Make no mistake, it is a deep draft, and some savvy and well researched picks could yield you some steady hockey players down the road.
Well I pray for salary dumps today. If we can move into the 2nd great but if we can dump salary even better. If neither happen its a large bottle of whiskey and a jug of milk followed with trash talking ecklund on twitter cause if we don't at least shed some cash I'll be very concerned an that guy sucks
June 26 2010, 10:39AM
Look, I am no scout, but I know a few of the hockey futures guys, and I know some people that played in WHL this year, and I dunno, from talking to them, they are not of the same opinion as Sutter.
Yeah, it's a deep draft. No draft is 64 players deep. I've heard 1 - 40 are probably good players, and it drops off after that. Whatever, we will see.
Im with Marty though, today's a Milskey day if we can do anything.
June 26 2010, 10:43AM

Im with Marty though, today's a Milskey day if we can do anything.
Yeah, I've never really seen a draft that has the same quality of player at 25 as it does at 60...and certainly not around 100. Again and again, we see that things get real thin real quick beyond the top 30 or 40 in every year. After that, it's almost always more or less a random jackpot.
It'd be nice to hear something like, "the Flames have announced that they have signed Chris Higgins to a 4-year contract with annual average salary of $1.5M", or something along those lines.
Oh, and this draft? Well, LT is the man at draft time and he posted something Dean Lombardi said about how GMs value draft picks at draft day (i.e. highly). Perhaps Sutter can use his 3rds and 4ths to move a couple contracts (Kotalik first and foremost, Staios if ownership won't let him captain the Heat, I still like Sarich on the Flames though).
Would not be upset if we did not pick a single player today as long as the problems with next season's team are fixed. The name of the game here is, first and foremost, to build tomorrow's winning team. Tomorrow's tomorrow's winning team, can wait until, well, tomorrow.

Florida Southern College
|StudentsReview ::
Florida Southern College - Comments and Student Experiences
-Campus is beautiful. Seriously. Flowers, gardens and unnaturally green lawns are everywhere. FLW buildings are gorgeous (but not exactly functional sometimes.)
-Staff is always available. Lots of the professors live within walking distance to the school so meeting them is not a problem, even outside of their office hours. I feel like I really got to know my advisor.
-I actually really enjoyed the social life here. However, It is different and it really feels like the South. As much as people talk trash about Kau's, I can honestly say that I had a blast there in the my early college years. Get involved with a fraternity or a sorority. There's one for everybody here and as hard as some people try, it is definetly not your average "TFM" experience. They're a little silly and superficial but I honestly did make some great friends and I was never bored on the weekends.
-As a biology student, I felt challenged by my courses. Professors for the most part know what they are talking about and are friendly. Don't know too much about other departments.
-Lakeland is cool if you look. People that complain about Lakeland are generally the same people who spend all weekend locked in front of an xbox playing COD or something. There's stuff to do, and if you can't find it you're not looking hard enough.
-Students for the most part are pretty friendly.
-You will be given opportunities to perform research. Get involved with it as soon as possible, even if you don't get credit hours for it.
-I loved the Biology department here, and it is one of the departments that is getting better with time.
-Administration blows. That is one thing that I think lots of people complaining nailed on the head. The business office is horribly understaffed and it shows. They are nice ladies, but they just don't have the resources they need.
-Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, while beautiful, are not exactly funcitonal. Polk Science needs some serious upgrades to it's labs.
-Might have just been me with this one, but I hated all of the chemistry I took at FSC. I don't know where they find them, but some of the chemistry professors really ruined the classes here. If I could have, I would have taken my organic courses elsewhere.
-Students, while nice, tend to be a little clique-y. It gets a little irritating, especially as you get further into college/older.
-Food is kinda meh. But whatever, move off campus and get a kitchen. I can't really think of any college that has a super great cafeteria.
Honestly this is school is the definition of " You get out, what you put in."
Get involved. Do it early and avoid chemistry.
Some profs are fine, but too many others seem like they're missing in action. A number of courses are taught by adjuncts, and while some are good, others are just moonlighting for extra pay and don't really seem to care about their classes. Also, key courses for your major aren't always offered regularly, unless you opt for an online version. But why pay for a 4-year residential college experience if you're just going to end up being forced to take an online class?
Good luck with getting competent input from an adviser--you'll need it! The registrar and the financial aid office also seem to have trouble doing their jobs competently and efficiently.
The campus is really neat. It's world famous for its great collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. Lakeland is pleasant in the winter and early spring, but brutally hot in late spring and summer. However, it is very green and lush, and I happen to like it.FSC has a lot of potential as a school, but I feel like it's heading in the wrong direction. The administration is treating it like a business enterprise instead of like an institution of higher learning. I'm not sure if I'd go here if I had it all to do over again.

AP Photo/Smithsonian Institution
The Smithsonian Institution began with an unexpected donation and has grown to a massive collection of artifacts from all over the planet. Take this quiz and learn more about the famous institution that's renowned for its museum and its scientific endeavors.
Start Quiz »
You scored
0 out of 20
Question 1 of 20
The majority of the Smithsonian collection comes from:
the National Museum of Natural History
The Smithsonian's collection includes 137 million artifacts, the majority of which comes from the National Museum of Natural History.
the National Art Museum
the National Air and Space Museum
Question 2 of 20
Most of the Smithsonian's artifacts:
are on permanent display
rotate on display throughout the year
are not on display
Unfortunately, the Smithsonian can showcase only about 2 percent of its artifacts at any one time. That doesn't mean those artifacts are sitting around in storage though. Researchers often request to work with the institution's vast collections.
Question 3 of 20
Can you gain access to the Smithsonian artifacts that are in storage?
Sure you can. You can cruise the digital archive or request to visit the warehouse. Depending on the object you want to see and what state it's in, you might get lucky and see the artifact up close.
Question 4 of 20
Where does the museum get most of its collections?
by purchase
by donation
by discovery and excavation
all of the above
All of those artifacts come to the Smithsonian through a few main channels: purchase, donation and, of course, discovery and excavation. Not all donations make the cut either. A committee thoroughly evaluates each gift to determine whether it should be included in the Smithsonian collection.
Question 5 of 20
Who founded the Smithsonian?
a British man
Although the Smithsonian is a U.S. museum, it was originally founded by a British gent named James Smithson.
an American woman

a scientist
both of the above
The wealthy founder of the Smithsonian, James Smithson, was a chemist, meteorologist and geologist.
Question 7 of 20

James Smithson contributed about $500,000 to the museum in 1835. This amount is equivalent to roughly $9 million today.
$1 million
Question 8 of 20
What did James Smithson hope to accomplish by donating his money to America?
an increase in knowledge
a diffusion of knowledge
both of the above
James Smithson stated that he wanted his money to increase and diffuse knowledge. His aim is now immortalized in the Smithsonian's mission statement.
Question 9 of 20
Why did James Smithson leave his fortune to America?
He wanted to promote knowledge in the new country.
While we may never fully know what was going on in Smithson's head when he drew up his will, he did indicate that he wanted to help promote knowledge in the fledgling country that was the United States.
Smithson became fond of the United States after attending school there.
Many of the philanthropist's colleagues and friends lived there.
Question 10 of 20
Why were the Americans wary of accepting James Smithson's donation?
They thought it was unconstitutional.
They believed it would damage their dignity.
both of the above
Unfortunately, Smithson's gift wasn't received with open arms. Many politicians believed accepting the bequest was unconstitutional, and others thoughts accepting the donation would damage the country's dignity.
Question 11 of 20
When was the first of the Smithsonian's many buildings finished?
In 1855, two decades after Smithson's bequest, the Smithsonian Institution Building went up.
Question 12 of 20
Where is James Smithson buried?
His burial place is unknown.
He is buried in England.
He is buried at the Smithsonian Institution.
In the early 1900s, Smithson's remains were moved from England to the United States. He is buried at the Smithsonian Institution.

Question 15 of 20
Nineteen museums and galleries comprise the giant Smithsonian Institution. Which of the following museums is NOT one of them?
American Museum of Natural History
That was a tricky question. The National Museum of Natural History is the Smithsonian's popular history museum, not the New York-based American Museum of Natural History.
Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum
National Air and Space Museum
Question 16 of 20
The majority of the Smithsonian's budget comes from:

Wham, Glam, Thank You Ma'am
By Captain America
Paul Blackburn
With a name like Glitter Dick, a band isn't likely to get much commercial airplay. However, as Albuquerque's newest glam-trash group, Glitter Dick is on everyone's lips. Figuratively speaking, of course.
I met the band early on St. Patrick's Day. Our plan was to converse over a few drinks and get out of Downtown before Albuquerque's finest took issue with the faux-Irish revelers clogging the streets.
One might wonder what life experience makes three men appear in public slathered in glitter and mascara while one woman takes the stage pants-less. As usual, it's the people with normal backgrounds you really have to watch out for.
Frontman Kendall Killjoy begged his mom for piano lessons in the first grade—but after hearing The Jackson 5 cover Bobby Day's "Rockin' Robin," he switched to guitar. He played in several high school thrash bands but now only sings because he wants to "jump around and not worry about making mistakes." I suggested Killjoy's strategy for Glitter Dick (splashing beer everywhere, stripping off various articles of clothing, handing out penis-shaped cookies, hanging from the club's lights) might be outrageous enough to get the band bounced from every venue in town. His reply? "If you haven't been banned at least once, you're not in a real rock and roll band."
Oddly enough, some of Killjoy's old "punk" cohorts don't quite approve of his latest incarnation. Clearly those kids don't know the genre's history—i.e., the antics of proto-punk bands like The Stooges and The New York Dolls from which Glitter Dick takes its cue. With Glitter Dick guitar player Magnum P. Nye, Killjoy's previous outfit was Ass Cobra (a tribute to Norwegian death punk band Turbonegro). Also a precocious piano student, Nye was later the self-described "house bassist" for area metalcore/crust bands such as None of the Above, 666 and Stabbed In Back.
As luck would have it, drummer Suzi de Sade is also a Turbonegro fan. That—and her expertise doing the boys' makeup—clinched her entry into the band. Her past musical highlights include playing flute in the Pojoaque High School Marching Band and napping in The Line Camp (a defunct Pojoaque roadhouse) while her hippie parents watched hippie bands. A year ago she caught an afternoon flight into Albuquerque from Los Angeles to drum at a midnight show for The Teenage Werewolves, her premiere gig with that Cramps tribute band. Compared to L.A., where she lived for a few years, de Sade says she prefers Albuquerque "because people are much more open and actually dance."
Bass player Dee Dee Ramen (aka Kenta Henmi) phoned in from the Cheap Trick show, but since barely a word he said could be heard, we quickly hung up on him. From there, my prepared questions were brushed aside as the band hijacked the interview.
Killjoy: My musical ambition? To get drunk every practice to make sure we stagnate.
de Sade: I want to get big enough to have roadies so we never have to set up early ever again. And to get laid more.
Nye: I want to play in a Turbonegro cover band.
Killjoy: I want a band to cover us!
Nye: Terri Schiavo Dance Party already did.
Killjoy: Oh right. Simmer Dick!
Nye: I want to start a band, like, if Ted Nugent got it on with Greg Ginn.
Killjoy: I want to piss off the hardcore guys.
de Sade: And get laid more.
And so on.
Like Glitter Dick trashed this interview, expect the band to visually and sonically trash everything at this (and every) show. Just don't take it too seriously. Except for the rock and roll.
Clink Clink Boom
A musician receives rewards both adulatory and artistic, but monetary ones are few and far between. A small portion of every dollar you pay for a download, CD or cover charge ends up in the pockets of the people that actually make the music you enjoy. That undersized percentage must go toward instruments and repairs, amps and power cords, strings and picks, sticks and drum heads, gas for the van, fees for practice space and recording costs. And that's not counting rent, food and babysitters. A local show may cost you five or 10 bucks and you think, Well, that band's getting a pretty good deal for 45 minutes of work. But that three quarters of an hour takes much more in creative time: writing, honing, fine tuning and practice, practice, practice.
When the chips are down, it's time for you—the music fan—to step up. I've been following the Burque music scene since 1995, and I can't tell you how often I've marveled at the fine guitar work of Amy Clinkscales. Many times she answered a last-minute call to fill in at a gig or add her smooth Neil Young-meets-Mick Ronson leads to a flagging band. An abbreviated list of groups she's played with over the past decade and a half: The Stumpjumpers, The Skirts, A Band Named Sue, Ash Wensday, Blame It On Rachel, The Jenny Clinkscales Band, Greek The God, The Hopefuls, Gamelan Encantada and Mother Death Queen.
Despite an extremely serious (and costly) medical condition that was recently diagnosed, Amy is keeping her commitment on Friday, April 6, and playing with her hard-rocking band Mother Death Queen. Also on the bill is the pop powerhouse Red Light Cameras, the trashy Glitter Dick, the unabashed punk rawk Icky and the Yuks, the delightful indie Pancakes! and roaring outfit The Demons. In reaction to the hard news, all the bands and the host venue are donating the night's take to her. Come out and support Amy. After all, she's supported our music scene all these years by being an integral part of it.

Wow Product With Great ResultsI have always had a problem keeping my natural white hair white. My problem was trying to keeping the yellow from returning to my hair. Since I started using this product my hair is bright and white with not a hint of yellow. My hair salon was the one who turn me on to this product and I am so thankful. It really works just follow the directions on the bottle. NO MORE YELLOW IN YOUR WHITE HAIR!!!!!! ThanksApr 17, 2012Joanne T. / MICHIGANHAIR TYPEWhite

Worth Every Penny!I personally find this stuff amazing! I recently went and dyed my hair from a dark blond to a very light beige blond (L'oreal Paris) and it turned out very brassy looking, kinda orange-ish..Really not flattering! Well the very next day I was ready to dish out over a hundred bucks and get my hair dyed back to its regular color by a professional which I really didn't wanna have to do , for the obvious reason of how harsh that would be on my hair....But then someone suggested this stuff to help with that brassiness. It works amazing for me..I love it! It makes my hair look golden and shimmery and just beautiful! And also makes my hair sooo super managable. It's definately worth the 15 bucks! (I bought the conditoner as well)
So if you have this same problem, before you dish out money for a re-dye (and risk damaging your hair!) or use any strippers/dye removers..give this a shot, worked beautifully for me.Aug 20, 2010Tash / LabradorHAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Not applicable, Not applicableSummary: I have never worked with Jim and only have known him online at GovCentral government networking site. He is a very hard worker who believes in getting his work completed and done in a timely fashion. He is friendly and easy to get to know. If he has questions, he's never afraid to ask so that he can do his job even better than before. He cares not only about what he does, but the people that he works with. If asked, I would say that he is a great person to have as an employee. He is a team player and brings others into the team.

Do you feel safe walking alone at night?
That's what Gallup recently asked people who live in America's 50 biggest metro areas.
Perhaps surprisingly, residents of the biggest metro areas feel scarcely less secure than the national average: 71 percent of big-city residents and their suburban neighbors, vs. 72 percent for the nation as a whole.
The variation was wide -- a 25-percentage-point difference -- between the least and most secure-feeling city dwellers.
Certainly there's a strong correlation between the FBI violent crime rate and how residents actually feel, Gallup says. In the Memphis area, the smallest proportion of residents feel safe walking alone at night out of the 50 big metro areas surveyed -- and indeed, Memphis is one of the most dangerous cities in America, according to a report published on Yahoo! Homes last year.
Yet residents of some of the most notoriously dangerous metro areas, like Detroit and St. Louis, aren't especially nervous about walking alone at night. In fact, nearly three-quarters of St. Louis-area residents feel safe doing so, which puts that metro in the top 15 of the safest-feeling cities. By contrast, people in the Silicon Valley, Dallas and San Diego areas are considerably warier.
[Click here to see the most secure-feeling cities.]
The most secure of all big-metro dwellers live in the Twin Cities: An impressive 80 percent of Minneapolis-area residents feel safe walking at night -- though we suppose maybe Gallup should have asked them about bicycling instead. Bike riders on the city's Midtown Greenway have recently reported a spate of attacks, including one Molotov cocktail hurled at a cyclist, according to the Atlantic Cities.
And as far as the old song goes: Maybe it's true that nobody walks in L.A. -- but more than two-thirds say that if they did, they'd feel perfectly comfortable walkin' in L.A. at night.
Below are the eight metro areas where residents feel least safe walking at night. (We stopped at eight cities instead of a round 10 because of a seven-way tie for ninth place.)
To see a slideshow of the most secure-feeling cities, click here.
Gallup asked: "Do you feel safe walking alone at night in the city or area where you live?"
No. 1 (least likely to feel safe): Memphis, TN-MS-AR
43% say no, they don't feel safe
55% say yes, they feel safe
No. 2: New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, LA
41% say no, they don't feel safe
59% say yes, they feel safe
No. 3: Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA
38% say no, they don't feel safe
61% say yes, they feel safe
No. 4 (tie): Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, TX
36% say no, they don't feel safe
63% say yes, they feel safe
(Interesting side note: Late last summer, Forbes named Houston "America's hippest city.")
No. 4 (tie): Jacksonville, FL
36% say no, they don't feel safe
63% say yes, they feel safe
No. 6: Las Vegas-Paradise, NV
34% say no, they don't feel safe
65% say yes, they feel safe
No. 7 (tie): Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, FL
32% say no, they don't feel safe
66% say yes, they feel safe
No. 7 (tie): Baltimore-Towson, MD
32% say no, they don't feel safe
66% say yes, they feel safe

A majestic design with an amazing architecture, located next to Puerto Marques Bay. Its structure blends classic lines mixed with Mexican details.
This great work was built at a cost of 40 million dollars. Two American architects, Carrano and Wickenburg, from New York, teamed up with their Mexican counterparts, Atilio Bazaretti and Arnoldo Ochoa to create the buildings inspired by the grand hotels of Europe, with a touch of the Golden Riviera of Mexico's Pacific coast.
Camino Real Acapulco Diamante spreads out over a 33-hectare property, which is constructed as a geometric cascade of small buildings nestled on large rocks that extend intertwining with the tropical nature and the Pacific Ocean.
