Jets Nation 2013 Year-End Awards: Unsung Hero
Kevin McCartney
May 07 2013 06:33PM
We nominated, you voted, and the results are in. All this week Jets Nation will be revealing your reader picks with our writers' perspectives for the 2013 Year-End Awards. Today's award is a victory for the little guys, the underdogs. It's a moment of celebrating the under-represented and under-appreciated. Think Stallone in the 1987 World Arm Wrestling Championships impressing a young David Mendenhall with his never-before-seen turned hat style. Sure, if you don't care that much about the Jets, you might not even know the names nominated. But if you don't care that much about the Jets, I can only assume you came to this site
looking for travel deals for the exceptional prose. Relax your abdomen, fold toward your screen, head jutted forward and eyes fixed on the scroll below while you cheer softly to yourself, your exuberance dampened by the social padding your fandom must remain trapped inside.
Unsung Hero
Nominees: Grant Clitsome, Ron Hainsey, Kyle Wellwood, Alex Burmistrov, Charlie Huddy
Brett Martin (@brettmartinlive)
Travis Hrubeniuk (@thrubeniuk)
There was no player hated by Jets fans more than Ron Hainsey. It may have been his presence as the front man for the NHLPA, it may have been his contract, or it may have been his occasional glaring turnover, but I feel that Ron Hainsey was the Jets unsung hero of the season. Fans may not have liked him, but Claude Noel sure did. Hainsey was matched up against top lines every night and spent most of the time quietly doing his job. He didn't score, he didn't hit, he didn't fight, but he (for the most part) played a solid defensive role with an occasional hiccup. You can't ask much more from a guy who was forced into playing more minutes than he would be on other teams.
Kevin McCartney (@kevinmccart)
I went with Charlie Huddy. This guy is the best defenceman coach in the league at developing a particular type of defenceman in my opinion. No one can forget how good Jan Slavik looked with the Huntington Blizzard back in '97 under Huddy, but for our purposes, it's his work with Zach Bogosian that deserves the most credit. Bogo was headed for an early career trade on account of not being the player he was expected to be. Pressure was mounting, packages were being offered, Bogo kept getting worse while trying to do too much. Huddy has turned him into a Jets Nation Year-End Awards winner and a cornerstone of the franchise as mean, focused, rangey shut down defender with a great outlet pass (and he brought a heavy shot with him).
I think he also deserves some credit for Clitsome's strong season, and even Mark Stuart becoming a little more capable with Winnipeg than with Boston or Atlanta (in spite of playing through injury with random partners this year). I wouldn't mind if Zach Redmond looked a little more like Charlie Huddy someday too. He's my vote for Unsung Hero.
Jets Nation at Large
This was a tight race in the Nation. Brett went off-board, and votes were given to every nominee.
Your chosen winner is Charlie Huddy with 38%. Way to be, Chuck!
Your runner-up was Grant "I get votes on my name alone" Clitsome with 29% of your vote. Hainsey got 14%, and Wellwood and Burmistrov tied for 4th with 10% of your popular vote each.
Don't forget to sign up for StreakCred - the new playoff pool game from the Nation Network. For only $20 you can win solid prizes and a portion of the proceeds go to supporting the MS Bike Tour and the Edmonton Down Syndrome Society. Never too late to sign up here.

That looked like it was going wide. Montoya.
May 08 2013, 02:34AM
Montoya? He was certainly unsung, but with an .899SV%, he wasn't quite the hero. At least to me.
May 12 2013, 05:27PM
Montoya? He was certainly unsung, but with an .899SV%, he wasn't quite the hero. At least to me.
here's a weird fact: Montoya's SV% removing games where he relieved Pavelec part way through the game 0.923%
Of course that is hardly a normal sample size... meanwhile over with Pavelec....

After a winning start to the week, gold traders are on the defensive Tuesday as a two-day Federal Reserve policy meeting gets underway.
The most heavily traded futures contract is down by 1.1% to $1,231, reversing all of the previous session's gains. Is it the same old Fed "taper" torpor?
"Rush to sell gold from portfolios prior to the Fed meeting worried about tapering lowered prices to support levels," writes RBC Capital Markets precious-metals strategist George Gero in the characteristic shorthand of his morning client email.
Over at Commerzbank, the subject this morning was the metal's ability to gain on Monday even in the face of heavy outflows from exchange-traded funds:
What is remarkable is that the gold price managed to recover yesterday despite high ETF outflows – gold ETFs tracked by Bloomberg saw outflows of 10.8 tons as the week got underway. 80% of the outflows were attributable to the SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold ETF.
Checking in on gold funds and related ETFs midsession Tuesday, SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is down by 0.7%. Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) are down by 1.3% and 12.2%, respectively. iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is falling 0.3%.
The leveraged Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) are moving by roughly 3.5% apiece.

Ahaz reigns in wickedness and practices idolatry; his people are defeated by Israel—The captives are freed by the command of a prophet—The Edomites and Philistines attack Judah—Ahaz continues his idolatrous ways.

9 But a prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the Lord God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.

Interview with Bodybuilder Doug Miller
by BendtheBar 10-21-2011, 12:42 PM
Interview with Bodybuilder Doug Miller
Steve: Doug is that correct, you competed last year and won the Yorton Cup?
Doug: Yeah, the IFPA Yorton Cup in 2009. I won 1st in the middle weight class and went to the overall and won that as well.
Steve: Now Ive been following your bodybuilding career a little bit via the web. You have some impressive YouTube videos and Im pretty impressed with your physique, to say the least. Have you competed this year, Doug?
Doug: No I actually took this year off. Well, for a couple of reasons. One is I usually dont like to compete every year. I find that those competitors that are competing every year, every season both spring and fall, , you know, they always step on stage and look the same. And you know, although I love to compete and be on stage, you know, when I step on stage I wanna look significantly better than, you know, my previous outing. And to do that it just takes time. So I decided to take this year off. Also I had a lot of things going on in my personal life, a lot of good stuff. One is my wife and I, we opened up a personal training studio in Arlington, Virginia here and then we also opened a retail supplement store called Arlington Nutrition Corner here in Arlington as well. So that on top of my full time job and, you know, running Core Nutritionals and, you know, doing diets and programs for other people, needless to say, you know, I had a pretty full schedule and, you know, I just didnt want to have to diet through all of that.
Steve: Sure I can definitely appreciate that. Now Doug for those who arent aware of you, I want to ask you about your background a little bit. On your website it says you graduated high school weighing only 135 lbs. at 59 and if my numbers are correct, 5 years later you were competing in your first bodybuilding contest. Can you tell us about that journey from that 135 lbs. to ending up being on stage?
Doug: Sure. I mean, that 135 lbs. was probably even a generous number (laughs). Kinda stretching the truth a little bit. You know I was probably more like 125, 130, and you know, I was always very athletic. You know, I played sports all throughout high school and, you know, when I went to college I decided to pursue, you know, more academics than athletics.
I just, you know, I was recruited at some smaller schools but I just didnt have the size. I was just a very, you know you know, I thought I was very ectomorphic but really I just didnt know anything about nutrition, and just, never was a really big eater and I was just always so active that, you know, and my metabolism was so fast that, you know, that I was just never very big. So when I went to college, you know, in my freshman year, and I was just so used to competing I just needed something.
And one of my, you know, kinda hall mates when I was staying in the dorm was big into working out. So I just started kinda going to the gym with him and you know, really I was just tired of being skinny. I was always just the skinny guy and, you know, I was always known as Miller Lite (laughs) because of my size and, you know, so I just really, you know, started researching, you know, and I have an athletic background so I just started researching, you know, kinda nutrition, you know, and training.
You know, I kinda took an academic approach to it, really, and I just spent a lot of time learning. And, you know, so after I guess it was midway through my freshman year in college I started working out and really getting into it. And then by, you know, the beginning of my sophomore year in college I put on a good 40 lbs, you know. So it was like within 6 months, you know, I just grew like a weed because I just knew I needed to eat more. And from there I just kinda, you know, progressed.
And you know, over the years, you know, my diet has gotten a lot better. You know, when I first started I was living on, you know, cereal and just trying to get my calories in that way and now its, you know, significantly different. So when I graduated college, you know, I had a pretty good frame, I was about 175 lbs., maybe a little bit more than that, maybe 180, and when I came down to the Washington, D.C. area I started working out at a local gym and there were a bunch of bodybuilders there and they just kind of, you know, talked me into competing so I dieted for 8 weeks for my first show and, you know, I won the novice overall and, you know, once you win that first show, you kinda become hooked. And it kinda just, you know, steamrolled from there.
Steve: Now I mentioned the 2009 Yorton Cup. For those who arent familiar, thats a pretty prestigious natural bodybuilding show. What did your victory at the 2009 Yorton mean to you and howve you been training or bulking up since that time?
Doug: Well I mean, it was a really great experience. I mean, at that point, you know, the IFPA which is the pro division of the OCB, , you know, was a really growing, you know, organization and that show had, I wanna say, 39 pros from all over the world, really. And to step on the stage with those guys, and, you know, some of the big names, you know, some of the names Ive always known and kinda looked up to, to come out victorious against them was a really great experience.
I would have to say though that was pretty awesome, I mean, I was pretty much on top of the world. An ever cooler experience for me was about 5 weeks before that, there was a big IFPA show up in Cape Cod, its the Cape Cod Pro Show which also a very big show, and my wife, you know, was also competing in that. Shes also an IFPA pro figure competitor. And at that show we both actually took 1st place in the pro division. So for both of us to take first in the same show was a really awesome experience.
And you know, weve competed together before and it was always, you know, I was getting first and she would get second, or she would get first or I would get second so we had never won a pro show together like that and, you know, that was a pretty cool experience. So, you know, my season in 2009 was pretty much unforgettable with having both that and winning the world championship it was a pretty cool experience.
Steve: For those that havent seen your pictures, I highly encourage them to take a peek on, to Google your name or head to your website. Doug, whats your website name again? Is it just dougmiller.com?
Doug: No its dougmillerpro.com
Steve: Dougmillerpro.com. For those who havent seen your pictures I encourage them to take a look. Youre one of the largest natural bodybuilders on the planet. Can you tell us how you train to maximize muscle?
Doug: Sure. I mean, try not to really complicate things. I mean, you know, Ive always been a believer in all-out intensity and just you know our kind of claim to fame is just always going into the gym and crushing it, you know? Going in there, working hard, you know, high volume, you know, heavy weights kinda if you think about it, some IFBB pros kinda like Ronnie Coleman style, you know, obviously not to the same level but, you know, a lot of people overthink training, and theres always a new gimmick, a new training technique of the week but Ive found with myself, and even with the hundreds of clients that Ive worked with, Im a big believer in high volume.
Ive taken some people from a low volume approach to a higher volume approach, and its amazing what the human body can do. Now everyone is slightly different but, you know, I really believe in a higher volume. Im not saying, like, 3 hours of training crazy here but, you know, an hour and fifteen minutes, hour and a half workout, where you know bigger body parts youre training, you know, maybe five exercises, 3-4 sets each, going pretty close to failure, you know, and just trying to lift heavy.
I stick to the compound movements. Ill start off, you know, my workouts with deadlifts and squats, and you know, hack squats and barbell rows and the big power movements. I think thats really key to building up the size and, you know, the key is you gotta listen to your body too, you know, you gotta know when youre getting to the limits of, you know, crossing the limits of having, you know, slightly loose form to move some more weight or you know, going to the point of doing something stupid and hurting yourself.
So I encourage, you know, people to learn their limits and, you know, you gotta push those limits but you also gotta be smart and you know, I think the key that Ive learned over the years is, you know, you gotta train hard and crush it but you also gotta know, kinda, your boundaries. And the name of the game for this is, you know, kinda staying healthy. Bodybuildings such a, you know its really a marathon, its not a sprint. And I know that sounds cliché but it really is true so theres bodybuilders that can stay healthy and train smart and that really is the key. So Ive had some injuries here and there but overall Im pretty thankful for, you know, staying healthy, especially because I like to train.
Steve: For the fellow 135 lb. guys out there that are listening, that wanna give the higher volume approach a go, do you recommend that they jump full steam into it or that they slowly evolve their training to add more volume over time? How would you recommend they best approach to jump into high volume?
Doug: Sure I mean, you definitely wanna ease into it because you ARE gonna be sore. I mean it is a completely, if youre coming from like a Max-OT or some lower volume like that, I mean, youre gonna feel pretty burnt out, I mean, quickly. But the human body is pretty amazing and youll adjust so I would say ease into it. The other thing is youre gonna be burning a lot more calories so, you know, a lot of people say they cant grow, they cant grow, but at the end of the day, those hardgainers, those 135 pounders, theyre not eating enough.
So especially when youre training high volume, you have to eat for all your calorie expenditure. And I think thats really key. I mean if youre used to a low volume training maybe three times a week and, you know, pretty low volume, and youre switching off to a, you know, higher volume training, just make sure you get your calories up there because, you know, it does take a toll on the body.
Steve: When youre talking about diets, youre working with one of these guys that has a hard time gaining weight is there way, a certain way you structure their eating? I mean do you keep it 100 percent clean or how do you ensure that they are getting enough calories? What approach do you take?
Doug: Sure. Im a huge believer in keeping it clean all the time. Even, you know, in the off season, which there really is no off season, but, you know, even when youre trying to grow, you know, I really believe that most of your meals should come from totally clean food. And thats what I do, I mean, Im eating vegetables, meat, brown rice and sweet potatoes and oats and all those, you know, traditional bodybuilding foods pretty much 24/7.
Now I do go out to eat but when I go out to eat, I make healthy decisions. I just get a filet and a baked potato, you know, I dont add on extra butter or any of that stuff. Or we go eat sushi. So even for the hardgainers, you know, I suggest just a lot of good, clean food and then usually I give them, you know, one day where they can go off, and you know, essentially just come off their diet, still eat healthy but then, you know, just to keep them sane they can go out and have a burger or something like that.
But when theyre dieting, when Im training them and dieting down hardgainers and all of that, Im a big believer in eating completely clean and fresh foods. Thats a different approach than, you know, some other people take. You know, some people just put like macronutrient targets out there and just essentially a calorie to calorie. Ive found with myself and working with hundreds of people that when theyre eating clean foods, fresh vegetables, you know, lean meats made at home, non-processed stuff, your body gets a harder look to it, you know?
You get this cleaner, more dense look to it and, you know, thats really my philosophy so when theyre dieting down, theyre eating completely clean, and even when theyre bulking up theyre also eating clean but I do let them, you know, throw a couple cheat days in there every now and again.
Steve: One of the common questions I come across and Im sure you come across as well is that, you know, many guys will tell you, I dont necessarily want to be a bodybuilder or look like a bodybuilder but they just want to have a nice-looking body at the beach. For guys like that, you know, sometimes its assumed they dont have to work as hard or concentrate as much on the details. If a guy just wants to look good at the beach, how important is it for him to concentrate on a rock solid diet?
Doug: Well, I mean, thats a hard question. I mean a lot of those people you know, I get that a lot from women, actually. You know, like, I dont wanna get too big, I dont wanna get too bulky, I just wanna look good in a bikini and stuff like that. You know, what I tell these people is, you know, its not easy. People are like, I dont wanna get that big, you know, and I dont need to get that shredded but, you know, most of the time Im like, Well thats good because most people cant really get to that level unless theyre completely committed.
And, you know, I understand, you know, when Im working with even with non-competitors, you know, you have to structure a diet for them and structure a workout routine for them that is doable, you know, and is with their lifestyle. Because even just trying to get in shape for the beach, I mean, that really is, you know, it has to become a lifestyle for you. So you have to do things that are doable. The big thing for those people, I mean, consistency is key. They just gotta work it into their routine.
You know, I dont think they have to be as hardcore as the competitors, you know, having that diet down on a regular schedule and knowing what youre gonna do on each day of the week and, you know, each meal of the day. I really think thats important, you know, you can obviously have some of that leeway with people that are NOT trying to get to that, you know, totally peaked physique look, you know but for the most part, you know, I find that getting people into a nice routine where theyre doing the same things and, you know, the same healthy habits, you know, day in and day out thats the best way for these people to achieve results and to maintain them so its not just, you know, when they go to the beach they look good, its so they look good ALL the time.
Steve: You have one of the more impressive YouTube videos Ive seen by a natural bodybuilder. You have a video I believe where youre deadlifting, like, 405 for 27 reps
Doug: (laughs) Ive gotten more comments on that video
Steve: Yeah Ive done my share of spreading that around the net because like I said its an amazing video. Is that something, do you generally work with higher rep deadlifts, or is that something you do more infrequently?
Doug: I am a big fan of high rep deadlifts but usually thats something that I do, you know, maybe as my last set of deadlifts. So Ill work up heavy and then on my last set Ill do, you know, go down to 405 and then just try to rep it out. In this case I was about 14 weeks out from the Cape Cod show last year, and so, you know, so I didnt really wanna push, you know, go as heavy because then you risk, you know, getting hurt. But I still wanted to keep the intensity up.
So, you know, I just put 405 on there and said I was just gonna go until I couldnt do any. And so on that day I did, you know, I did probably 405 for 27 and then 495 for about 10 or so. But you know I was, after that one set, you know, your backs pretty gone. But Im a huge believer in that. I think not only does it help develop a full back, you know, it really helps develop complete hamstrings and glutes, which, you know, right now to be a top-level bodybuilder those are two huge body parts that you really need to focus on. So Im a big fan of those high rep deads.
Steve: How about squats? Do you do any high rep squat work or do you keep that
Doug: Yeah, I DO do high rep squats. Especially, you know, as Im getting closer to a competition just because, you know, I still go very heavy on most of those exercises but on some of those compound ones you do risk a little bit of injury when youre going as heavy as youre used to so, to stimulate my muscle fibers completely and still keep that intensity up I really like to do, you know, high rep squats. And you know, generally I like to do legs pretty high reps anyways, except for maybe, you know, squats in the offseason, maybe those first couple of sets of the day.
You know generally Im training my legs in the 15 to 20 rep range on pretty much, you know, every movement I do. Leg press, you know, squats, hack squats, I just find my legs grow so much more when Im doing, you know, higher reps.
Steve: Since youve reached such a high level in the sport, I want you to maybe provide us some guidance about what some of the biggest training or diet mistakes that youve made along the way and how the younger guys can avoid making the same mistakes.
Doug: Sure. In terms of dieting, I mean, I think the biggest thing is, theres a lot of diets that can work, you know? There really are. And theres a lot of so-called gurus out there and they can all get you in shape. My biggest thing is, when somebodys dieting, you know, they should listen to one person. Either do it themselves or listen to that one person that they trust and whos gonna do their prep for them or do their diet for them.
You know I find that so many times, like, people will come to me and theyre 6 weeks out and they say, Im working with such-and-such and hes having me do this and that, you know, what should I do? and its, Im like Listen to them! You know? I mean, it might be different than what I do but youve already been doing it this long so dont change things.
And youre gonna second guess the approaches. So I really feel that they should stick with that one person. I mean, cuz you can have, you know, youre training partners gonna be telling you stuff, your girlfriends gonna be telling you stuff, you know, somebodys brother who lives next door to you is gonna be telling you stuff. Everyones gonna have an opinion and its really gonna mess with your head and Ive seen it happen over and over again so I really suggest that people, you know, pick one, you know, approach and try it, you know?
And if doesnt work, you know, theres always a next time and then you can try something differently. Thats really my big thing, you know. When Im dieting people down I do, you know, a carb cycling approach and Im a big fan of carbs, I think theyre important and I try to lean on as many carbs as they can handle while still losing weight. So thats really my approach, but generally I would just say, just, you know, stick with one approach, give it a shot and dont let everyone else try to get in your head and make you second guess what youre doing.
Steve: One of the popular beliefs in muscle building is that you have to change routines like every 8 to 12 weeks or else, you know, its believed that youre going to hit some sort of a wall. Do you keep your routine basically the same all year long, or are you making small changes, do you stick with the same exercises or...? Just curious if you make any dramatic changes.
Doug: Sure. You know, I rotate myself probably through I dont know, 3 or 5 or, you know, probably about 5 different body part splits that I really prefer and that I grow. I basically change those up just out of keeping it fresh and, you know, just so you dont get bored with anything.
Now, you know, every workouts different. So if Im just training, you know, a split for just 8 or 12 or 16 weeks or whatever it is, you know, every workout is different so that Im always Ill never do the same workout twice, you know, twice in a row. I mean, Im always changing things, always changing the order, you know, sometimes Ill do the exercises completely backward starting with kinda like the isolation exercises, then moving to the compound, you know, sometimes Ill just do higher reps.
But generally, you know, I use about 5 different training splits for myself and then I just mix up the exercise selection, the intensity techniques, pretty much every workout. So a lot of times I know what body parts Im gonna train when I get in the gym, and then I kind of train instinctively once I get in there. You know, for beginners and even a lot of my clients, you know, sometimes people think they need to change things up too much, though, you know, and in terms of like workout splits, I actually find that sticking with the same split for awhile leads to some nice progression.
I mean if youre always changing things up SO much that you cant really track your progress, you know, its difficult really to know youre making gains. So sometimes, you know, I will come back and, you know, do the same workout twice, you know, but its not gonna be, you know, right back-to-back, but this way I can look back in my log book and see before, you know, what were the numbers I was hitting then and, lets try to go up 2 ½ pounds, lets try to get one extra rep.
So, you know, I find that some people can make, you know, really good gains on the same program, you know, throughout, I dont know 4 or 5 months but, you know, that program needs to have a lot of variety within it. So generally, you know, I know thats a long-winded answer and its not really a clear answer but, you know, I like mixing it up a lot, but sometimes you can even overdo it, you know, kinda out-think the program, and youre so worried about mixing everything up that youre not really making progress. So for some of the basics I like to, you know, keep em consistent but for other things I like to try to mix it up.
Steve: Do you generally prescribe straight splits for beginners that youre working with? Or do you ever have them focus on a greater frequency like twice a week or maybe even like a full body approach?
Doug: Yeah, I mean, I utilize all those really, depending on the person kinda their background and what theyre used to doing. You know, I find, generally, even for people that are not looking to be a bodybuilder, the way to get people in shape the quickest is to do more of a bodybuilding traditional split approach.
That being said, the bodybuilding traditional split approach, you know, Ive used things where Im training one body part a day, you know, for 6 days and then take a day off. Or, you know, sometimes I like to train things twice a week so, you know, I kinda utilize all of those and really it kinda depends on the person.
You know, most people can make gains if theyre eating right and supplementing right on, you know, pretty much any of these splits if their intensitys high and theyre resting and all these things are together. But yeah I mean, I think, you know, for beginners and people just trying to get in shape, I think a traditional bodybuilding split, you know, probably training with weights 5 days a week is ideal.
Steve: One more training question for you, Doug, and then I wanna ask you about Core Nutritionals. One of the most popular terms running around on the internet when it comes to building muscle is the word hardgainer. Do you believe there are as many hardgainers out there as there seems to be or do you believe the term hardgainer is overused?
Doug: Its definitely overused. Not to say there arent some true, you know, ectomorphic hardgainers out there but for the most part, you know, you can grow if you eat. I mean, people who tell me, I cant grow, I cant grow its because theyre not eating. I mean, bottom line if youre eating enough calories and youre training hard, youre gonna grow. Ive seen it so many times and so, yeah, I think that term IS overused.
I think there are some forms of, you know, hardgainer that, you know, you have a faster metabolism, you know, youre gonna need more calories than your average person. But, you know, everyone has the potential to grow, so I really dont like how people limit themselves with that term.
Steve: Tell us a little bit about Core Nutritionals. When did you found the company and what type of supplements do you offer?
Doug: Sure. So the company was founded back in the beginning of 2005 and essentially there was really, you know, I had a business partner at the time, I no longer have that business partner but we just saw a, you know, kind of a hole in the industry.
You know, there was a lot of products that were surrounded by just complete hype and really were not that good. And so we designed products that, you know, we wanted to use, you know, as bodybuilders who consume a lot of supplements, we wanted to make sure we were getting what we want. So we started designing products that were based around our philosophies.
So like our first product, our meal replacement, you know, there were a lot of replacements out there that were, you know, based on carbohydrates or just like maltodextrin or things which were just gonna give you that insulin spike that you might not want throughout the day, we came up with, you know, a nice protein blend thats well absorbing with a whole grain carbohydrate like, you know, oats and barley fiber, things that, you know, bodybuilders already eat and, you know, it IS like a true meal replacement.
And then we moved on from that to a post-workout. You know, I was always mixing, you know, 5 powders to get my post-workout shake, and I was just tired of doing that. So, you know, Core PWO we designed for a post-workout supplement, we dont even have to think about it. Its got, you know, your fast-acting carbs, your fast-acting whey isolate, your added branched chains, your anti-oxidants, has everything you need in the right ratios.
Throw it in a shaker cup and youre good to go. And we kinda just progressed from there. Then we came out with Core ABC, our branched chain amino acids, and beta-alanine drink which I drink, you know, pretty much all day long, but, you know, its focused around my workouts. Then we came out with, you know, a stimulant product called Zap which is like a pre-workout focus and intensity.
And then, you know, because joint health is so important, there is just, you know, a lot of poor formulas out there for joint health products so we developed Core FLEX which is a joint health product that has, you know, high dosage, properly dosed ingredients and theres 11 ingredients in here so its got your glucosamine, your MSM, natural anti-inflammatories like boswellia and turmeric and it has cissus in there, but theyre all at the proper dosages. One thing, you know, at Core Nutritionals, we dont want to hide behind proprietary blends, so we let the consumers know exactly what theyre getting in there.
I think, you know, the feedback from our users is that theyve really appreciated that. So right now were working on a couple more flavors of Core ABC and we also, Im very excited about, I have a new natural testosterone booster in the works, its called Core TEST, that Ive been working on for about almost a year now. Things are finally coming together, I expect that out at the end of January so were really excited about that.
Steve: Doug, any competitions coming up in 2011 that youre zeroing in on?
Doug: Thats all TBD. We have a lot going on with these new businesses and so Im just hitting my stride now. Its been a year since my last competition but I feel like Im just really hitting my stride and some nice growth here so well see. Ill take stock in probably another, Ill take stock probably around, I dont know, March or April, and then if I do shows Ill probably shoot, target the fall shows.
So well see. Im in no rush to compete. I do get that bug every now and again but I gotta tell myself that, you know, theres, you wanna keep making gains and so next time I step on stage, you know, I want that wow factor, you know, even more so than last time. So well just see but Im thinking, you know, probably around April-ish Ill make that decision.
Steve: I appreciate you taking the time to speak with me today and looking forward to seeing how you appear next time youre on stage. Bigger and better.
Doug: Alright thanks, I appreciate you talking to me.
Steve: Thanks Doug, have a good day.
Doug: Take care.

Well now, I don't want to be disrespectful. It's very easy to do that when you never learned not to, and most would never notice if it wasn't written out. He's a bodybuilder, not a public speaker.

The late Mr. Fred Rogers once said, "Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me." Mr. Rogers would have been proud of the over 275 hometown heroes honored on Dec. 26 by the Union Beach Education Association.
The Union Beach E.A. hosted a dinner "Honoring our Heroes" at St. Joseph's School to acknowledge its mayor, town council, police and fire departments, emergency medical services, and educators for all of their hard work and dedication in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
Ron Villano, UniServ Field Representative, explained that immediately after Sandy struck, the UBEA sprang into action, helping the Union Beach School District create substitute classrooms in nearby towns after the district's only K-8 school was shut down. "The UBEA met with all of the community leaders then and continue to do so today," he added. He also said association members were instrumental in helping local families and students whose homes were swamped.
Union Beach Education Association President Tina Brown described, "We wanted to have this event to say thank you for everyone's hard work. Those 13 days (when school was cancelled) we teachers were right alongside those in the community, helping families who really needed it."
School Nurse Eileen Trunk led a team of Shrewsbury Education Association members helping out at the event to model the behavior they wish to teach their students. She said that seven of her own colleagues are currently unable to reside in their primary homes. "We believe in educating the whole child, academically, as well as building character."
"It took us about a month to prepare. We are serving 160 pounds of turkey, 140 pounds of ham, 250 pounds of potatoes, 150 pounds of stuffing, and 100 pounds of vegetables," Soto said. "Funding was provided by PRIDE money from Union Beach EA and NJEA headquarters."
Food was not the only treat available at the dinner. Mary Dwulet, First Year Pastry Student at the Culinary Ed. Center solicited donations and collected over 1000 toys for kids in need.
Dwulet said that all of the donations made her want to cry because it was so unbelievable to see everyone come together.
Rodriguez added that musical performances by the Communications High School students and Biotechnology High School Teacher William Hereck rounded out the evening.
Monsignor Sam Sirianni, Saint Robert Bellarmine Church, Freehold, led a pre-meal grace including, "We give thanks to the first responders who when everyone else rushed away from the danger, they ran into it."
When asked what the event meant to him, Mike Harriot, Union Beach Emergency Management Coordinator remarked, "I'd like to thank the NJEA for honoring all the responders. When I am asked what I would differently in the storm if I could, I say 'absolutely nothing'. We have 6200 residents and nobody was dead, nobody was injured, and nobody was missing. It was a phenomenal job for all the responders."
Harriot's wife, Kathleen, a retired NJEA member added, "They are not usually recognized for stuff like this, and they really appreciate it."
According to The New York Times, dozens of waterfront streets in this middle-income community were flooded. Of its 2,200 homes, many built in the 1950s, about half had flood insurance. Approximately 268 buildings were destroyed or sustained major damage in a 1 square kilometer area.
Brown added that Union Beach students would be back at their own schools no earlier than March.

Hendersonville Mayor Barbara Volk loaded a basket with food and followed Gail Zink down a gravel driveway that ended at a carport door.
FLAT ROCK — Hendersonville Mayor Barbara Volk loaded a basket with food and followed Gail Zink down a gravel driveway that ended at a carport door.
The duo were greeted by Thomasine Gordon as they stepped inside her home.
Volk was one of eight women from the community who helped make deliveries during the first "High Heels Deliver Meals" event Friday morning. The event was designed to create awareness in the community about the Meals on Wheels program, which is administered by the Council on Aging and delivers more than 200 meals per day in Henderson County.
Council on Aging's Director of Services Caron McKay, board members Sissy Rogers and Penny Summey, and Nutritional Director Annette Buckner took part , along with Kathryn McConnell, vice president of community philanthropy at the Community Foundation; Noelle McKay, executive director at Housing Assistance Corporation; and Linda Lauzon, Community Liaison for Park Ridge Home Health.
The trip down Gordon's driveway was all too familiar for the mayor, who delivered meals for the program in the 1980s.
"It was a really worthwhile effort for me," Volk said. "I felt it was a service the people I delivered to needed."
The women took part in a reception where Buckner and Rogers talked about the program. They then observed the daily routine — cars driven by volunteers pull up, coolers are loaded in the back, and drivers head off to make their deliveries.
"This is a great way to incorporate the influential women in Henderson County," Buckner said. "It's always good when you can get them involved on a visual level."
It meant even more that they took time out of their busy day, she said.
"To me, that says that they value the program. They're willing to give their morning to come over and celebrate the program and what it does," she added. "It's very heartwarming."
But the most heartwarming part of the day happened when Gordon opened her door. With a massive smile, she greeted Volk and Zink as the pair came inside.
Gordon loves the conversations she has when Meals on Wheels volunteers come by.
"I really look forward to this time of day every day," she said.

The Critical Thinker
My name is Kristan T. Harris. I have run for political office and have worked a political grass roots campaign for Ron Paul. I was nominated and elected to the GOP platform committee in 2012. I am a huge advocate for liberty and freedom.I am a libertarian at heart. I am also a news junkie and love a good mystery.
Oakland To Build Surveillance Grid Tracking Political Activist's Behaviors
Kristan T Harris | The Rundown Live
Grants funded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and implemented by military contractor Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) are on their way in the City of Oakland to build a Domain Awareness Center (DAC) due to go live in July of 2014. The DAC will cost the taxpayers 10.9 Million dollars and was sold in city council meetings on the fact it could lower local crime rates as seen in the video below.
However, thousands of pages of emails, meeting minutes, and other public documents expose that, behind closed doors, city staffers have not been focusing on how the DAC can lower Oakland's violent crime rate. In over 3,000 pages on the Domain Awareness System the terms "murder," "homicide," "assault," "robbery," and "theft" are never mentioned. So who are they really targeting? The real purpose of the DAC is to track political activists and organizations who speak out against the current establishment in Oakland according to the East Bay Express.
The DAC will include closed-circuit video feeds (CCTV) from all over Oakland as well as 700 cameras at Oakland public schools and 135 cameras at the Oakland Coliseum complex.
The data will be filtered at the DAC, then compared with license plate recognition software, thermal imaging and body movement recognition software, facial recognition software, with subsequently nothing to do with the original pre-approved intent of the DAC.
According to the American Civil Liberties Union studies show "Meta-analyses from the UK, along with preliminary findings from the US, indicate strongly that video surveillance has little to no positive impact on crime."
The government is so corrupt they have to monitor people who provide the public with the truth.

There seems to be a lot of articles on how to find true happiness these days. Just about everywhere I look I see how to be happy headlines, often followed by an exclamation point.
Each one basically says the same thing as the others- just addressed to a different audience. I don't know about you, but frankly I haven't gained any new insights from these types of articles in a very long time.
That's why when I saw The (Unconventional) Secrets of Happy Families in an online article byTime magazine writer, Bonnie Rochman, I was skeptical to say the least.
But guess what? It actually did offer some unconventional and interesting ideas for a happier family life.
In her article, Rochman interviews Bruce Feiler, a family columnist for The New York Timesand the best-selling author of The Secrets of Happy Families. Feiler is also the father of 7 year-old twin girls. In looking for a way to balance parenting, working at a demanding job, caring for his aging parents and being a good husband with the elusive goal of having a happy family. Feiler turned to some of this country's most creative minds, outside the typical sources of family psychologists and child development experts, for new perspectives and insights.
He communicated with Warren Buffet's advisors about the connection between allowances and chores. He spoke to Green Berets on building a tight-knit family unit and to members of the Harvard Negotiation Project to help learn the best approach to resolving family conflicts. By the end of his three-year research he had a list of approaches that he says help create a happier family life.
During the interview, Rochman asks Feiler what prompted him to want to write this book. His answer was straightforward and simple- he was a frustrated parent looking for a happier family life. I was incredibly frustrated as a parent. Our life was chaotic but I was especially frustrated that so much of this space is dominated by what I call the family improvement industry. Parents are in this straitjacket where the only ideas we are allowed to implement, must come approved by shrinks or self-help gurus or other family experts. But in every other area of life business, sports, the workplace, the military there are all these new ideas about how to make groups work. A family is a group.
Looking for answers, Feiler delves into common family situations and asks for tips from a variety of experts outside the family arena. I have gone to all these experts in very diverse fields. I need to fight smarter? I need to talk to experts in peace. I want to come up with new games for long car rides? Let me talk to the people at Zynga. As a frustrated parent, my job was to get myself into the room with people who have new ideas. In this book there are hundreds of new ideas that I believe have not been part of this conversation.
When Rochman asks what new ideas are some of his favorites, Feiler gives a new spin on one of the most promoted and scientifically studied endorsements for a happier and healthier family life- having dinner together as a family.
Let's take family dinner: if we've heard anything, we've heard you should have family dinner with your kids. But for most of us, that doesn't work with our modern lives. Dig deeper into the research and there's much better news for parents. There are only 10 minutes of productive time in any meal. The rest is, Pass the ketchup and take your elbows off the table. You can take that 10 minutes and put it anywhere in the day and get the same benefit. Can't have family dinner? Have family breakfast. Meet for a bedtime snack. You can time-shift family dinner and still have a bonding experience.
Other topics mentioned are:
- Let your child pick his or her own punishment and rewards. Kids who set their own goals, make their own schedules, and evaluate their own work take greater control over their lives. Have weekly family meetings and find out what motivates your child.
- Share your family history. Children who know more about their parents, grandparents and relatives have more confidence to confront their own challenges.
- Change where you sit. Physical comfort plays a role in negotiations and important discussions. If you sit on hard surfaces, you'll be more rigid. When disciplining your child sit on cushioned surfaces " you will be more flexible and the conversation will go better. Sitting across from someone invites more conflict than sitting next to them.
Rochman's article is an introduction to Feiler and some of the ideas he presents in The Secrets of Happy Families. I enjoyed it. Obviously, Feiler goes into much more depth on his research and findings in his book.
Should we ever expect a one size (or expert) fits all when it comes to parenting and happiness? I don't think so. Families are unique with individual personalities and needs. There has been a great deal written about the family and how to help make it function better. We live in a complicated world that demands every bit of strength and brainpower we can muster while at the same time, giving our hearts and time to the ones we love. So it's not surprising that studies abound with revelations about the psychological make-up of infants, toddlers, pre-teens, teenagers, young adults, middle age and seniors. We're all looking for answers.
When people are searching for new ways to solve old problems, a variety of approaches are helpful. Through trial and error you'll discover what works best for your family, and even then, new ideas will be needed to keep moving forward. Life is change.
Is there really a secret to a happy family? I don't know. Happy is one of those words that means different things to different people. Can you find innovative ways that help your family function better so that there is mutual respect, some sense of order and shared joy and love? Absolutely.

Ghosting Season: Tailored At Dale Street by Aaron› 3 Apr 2012
Having recently done remixes for Radiohead and released their excellent Far End Of The Graveyard EP, we're delighted to have Ghosting Season as the latest band to feature in our Tailored At Dale Street series. The Manchester-based duo were chosen by Now Wave to appear on their curated bill at our design studio recently, impressing the audience with their expansive, trance-inducing instrumentals.
Originally from Leeds, Ghosting Season moved to Manchester last year and have since captured the attention of music taste-makers such as Drowned In Sound , and recently travelled to Austin, Texas for the influential SXSW festival. Thanks to Now Wave for introducing us to Ghosting Season now, and we hope you enjoy their terrific live performance in the video above!

Brief Synopsis
At this writing, the strategic balance may have shifted in the ongoing war in the former Yugoslavia, and the region could be on the verge of a settlement. But, the "window of opportunity" may be fleeting, and the failures and frustrations of the past four years temper any optimism that conflict in the former Yugoslavia will end quickly or completely. If this opening passes without an end to the fighting, the United States may have to reassess its fundamental policy objectives and the ways and means to achieve them if peace is to be effected in the Balkans. The intent of this report, therefore, is to analyze and assess existing policies, to identify any conflicts or contradictions that may stymie U.S. efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution of the crisis, and to offer potential solutions. The report does not offer an ambitious criticism of policy or an "expert's" solution to an intractable problem. Its more modest goal is to examine current policy within a context that fits Bosnia into the larger pattern of U.S. interests and policy. In this manner, the report offers a broader framework for the strategic decisions that may face the United States in the not so distant future.

Hello: We have a shower in the basement apartment that has been tiled. A reno is to be done and I would like to know if there is some sort of moulded plastic ledge covering that I could put on. There is a knee wall that runs across the wall of the entire apartment which makes a ledge halfway up the shower wall. IS there any such animal?
