Ship Weight:5.50 Servings:81 Dosage:1 Scoop(s) Flavor:Tangy Orange Cytosport - Cytomax Performance Drink Tangy Orange - 4.5 lbs. (2.04 kg) CytoSport Cytomax Tangy Orange Performance Drink is made for a different brand of athlete. Its blend of complex carbohydrates and sugars work to sustain energy, so you can train harder, build stamina, and achieve superior results - Proven Results! Beat the Burn! Exclusive to Cytomax products, Alpha-L-PolyLactate is a proprietary energy source proven to provide energy longer and faster. Cytomax lowers acid in muscles, which prevents burning and cramping during training and helps reduce soreness and speed recovery. In a University Study, the Alpha-L-Polylactate found in Cytomax was shown to: Provide Energy 3X Faster and 3X More Efficiently Than Glucose. This breakthrough allowed athletes competing in a long hard ride (90 minutes at 65% VO2max) to sprint 22% longer on Cytomax than when consuming another popular sport drink. Simply put, Cytomax outperforms the competition - so you can outperform yours. Cytomax with Sustained EnergyNo other sports drink can match Cytomax's proven performance. University studies have proven that Cytomax is: Lowers acid level during and after training for less burning and cramping during exercise and less soreness afterwards... So You Can Beat The Burn! Stabilizes power output during intense exercise for more strength - especially towards the end of your workout. Reduces perceived exertion so you feel less fatigued during training. Improves end exercise sprint capacity Increases recuperation rate - from one workout day to the next. These results are possible due to the inclusion of a unique, exclusive, energy component: Alpha-L-Polylactate (lactate with acid removed, clustered around amino acids and carbohydrates). This proprietary lactate is efficiently used as a fuel faster than other carbohydrates and provides energy as well. In addition, it enters the blood stream and tissues faster than a single carbohydrate source, and is utilized more efficiently. The lactate (in Alpha-L-Polylactate) is utilized more efficiently - all while decreasing tissue acidity. Alpha-L-Polylactate - when combined with CytoSport's multiple carbohydrate blend - gives you sustained energy. In University studies, athletes had better performance after three hours of intense exercise with Cytomax than with another leading sports drink. In addition, Cytomax contains electrolytes - including sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium for optimal hydration. Cytomax does not contain artificial FD&C colors or artificial sweetener. CytoSport Cytomax Frequently Asked Questions Why is Cytomax better then those other "thirst-quencher" sports drinks?Most commercial sport drinks are made with primarily simple sugar as an energy source. This gives you quick energy but may cause a corresponding blood sugar drop when the initial sugar spike wears off. Many commercial drinks ignore the scientific research that proves 7% carbohydrate solution is ideal for gastric emptying. A drink with too high a sugar content is processed as a food by your body and does not contribute adequately to hydration. Commercial drinks do not include any other performance and recovery-enhancing ingredients like Cytomax. The complex carbs in Cytomax help you sustain energy levels over your entire workout and prevent exercise-induced glycogen depletion. Cytomax's patented Alpha-L-Polylactate buffers lactic acid in your working muscles, preventing burning and cramping during training and reducing soreness the next day. The antioxidants in Cytomax (Tangy Orange flavored powder only) help fight free-radical production in your body head-on during your workout. The succinates in Cytomax improve the rate of oxygen delivery to your working muscles, reducing perceived exertion at all intensity levels. During workouts, you will be able to push your body harder without depleting your reserves and becoming exhausted at the end. This is due to enhanced oxygen carrying capacity, lower blood lactate levels, and stabilized blood sugar levels. In the hours after workouts, instead of feeling lingering fatigue, you will feel refreshed and replenished - even after highly intense workouts. Cellular balance will be restored quickly when you deliver the nutrients and performance ingredients your body needs during exercise with Cytomax. Sometimes I get cramps when I drink during workouts. Can Cytomax help this?Yes. Cytomax is designed to be easily absorbed by your system and quickly distributed to your working muscles. Drinks that contain too much simple sugar or have a carbohydrate content that are too high are difficult to assimilate and will linger in your stomach. You may feel bloated or succumb to muscle cramps when your fluid replacement drink does not efficiently reach your muscles. In addition to its acid-buffering properties, alpha L-Polylactate has been found to enter your muscle tissue 2-10 times faster than simple carbs. Cytomax also contains the ideal levels of sodium, potassium and other electrolytes to ensure your cells remain in perfect fluid and electrolyte balance during and after your workout. Why shouldn't I just drink plain water during exercise?Water is nature's perfect fluid replacement and always will be. However, your needs during exercise include more than just water. You need to ensure an ideal balance of fluid, nutrients, and electrolytes in every cell of your body. When you put maximum effort into a workout, you deplete your system of stored energy. You may feel great while your heart is pumping and the adrenalin is flowing during your workout, but this exercise-induced depletion extends your recovery time and may cause fatigue, mood swings, sugar cravings, episodes of strong thirst, and body temperature fluctuations in the hours after your workout. These are all signs that your body is in a breakdown state. You can still push yourself during workouts, but you need to make it easier on your body afterwards if you want to avoid fatigue and burnout. As water has no calories and no antioxidant or lactic acid buffering properties, it is best to mix pure bottled water with Cytomax to gain the maximum benefits of fluid replacement. When you drink two 20-ounce water bottles of Cytomax at every workout for every hour that you exercise, your systems will return to perfect balance much faster. You will recover faster and have more energy in the ensuing hours because you exercised, rather than less. How is Alpha-L-PolyLactate in Cytomax an Acid Buffer? Alpha-L-PolyLactate found in Cytomax Performance Drink has two primary functions in our body: supply energy faster than glucose and act as an acid buffer. Alpha-L-PolyLactate lessens the effects of acids by helping to remove them from the body. By definition, a buffer is something that lessens the effect of something else. During activities that generate large amounts of acid, a buffer lessens the effects of the acid ion, also called protons or hydrogen ions (H+ ions). The effectiveness of a buffer is tested by determining what happens to the pH (acidity index) when acids or bases (alkalis) are added to a solution containing a buffer, such as Alpha-L-PolyLactate. According to this system of measurement, neutral pH is scored 7.0. Acidity means pH is less than 7.0 and alkalinity means pH greater than 7.0. In order to make an Alpha-L-PolyLactate solution acidic, a significant amount of acid must be added. Due to its chemical structure, Alpha-L-PolyLactate resists strong acids from changing the pH. Alpha-L-PolyLactate also acts as a strong acid buffer in the body. Cell membranes have lactate transport proteins that function to move lactate across membranes. These transport proteins move both lactate (an anion) and an acid proton together. The lactate transport proteins move and help dispose of lactic acid produced during intense exercise. Consequently, lactate is used as a fuel source and the acid proton is disposed of by conversion to water (H2O). In summary, Alpha-L-PolyLactate by itself is a strong buffer in the body. Alpha-L-PolyLactate is an optimal fuel source as it works faster than glucose, but the metabolism of the lactate anion in Polylactate buffers by causing the removal of acid protons. How Does Alpha-L-Polylactate in Cytomax Work Faster than Glucose?Most cellular energy is generated in an area of the cell called mitochondria, also referred to as 'Powerhouses of the Cell' because that's where oxygen is utilized. In cells, mitochondria form a vast energy producing and distribution network, which fuels the products of food digestion and enzymatic breakdown are burned. For cellular energy production to be maximal, both oxygen and fuels need to be delivered to cells. How can cells make energy faster from lactate in Cytomax's Alpha-L-Polylactate than from blood sugar (glucose)? The first reason is that lactate use is more direct. In order to provide cellular energy, glucose from the blood must move past the cell membrane barrier. This process is not fast because glucose transport proteins on the muscle cell surface act relatively slowly. Once inside, glucose must be broken down into pyruvate (P) and lactate (L). In resting muscle the L/P ratio is about 10, meaning the muscles contain 10 times more Lactate than pyruvate. During sustained exercise when oxygen uptake is high, the L/P ratio rises to 100 or greater, indicating that Lactate, not pyruvate is the major fuel for oxidative metabolism. Compared to the limitation in glucose entry, the formation of lactate and pyruvate. The second reason why lactate is used faster than glucose in the mitochondrial energy transduction network is that cell membranes contain transport proteins designed by nature to move lactate into and out of cells. These fast-working transporters (sometimes called monocarboxylate transporters or MCT's) are abundant on the cell surface. The MCT's or Lactate/Pyruvate (L/P) transporters also allow energy fuels into mitochondria. In sum, the lactate in Alpha-L-Polylactate found in Cytomax is a faster fuel in mitochondria than glucose for three reasons: 1) transport proteins (MCT's) are faster and more abundant 2) the steps in converting glucose to pyruvate and lactate are skipped 3) lactate transporter proteins move fuels across both cell and mitochondrial membrane barriers.

His athletes have been training with CytoSport products since their inception. Dr. George Brooks, Ph.D. sits on the board of advisors for CytoSport. During his graduate studies at the University of Michigan, his extensive research in the areas of "Oxygen Debt" and "Anaerobic Threshold" lead to several hypotheses and fundamental revisions in the understanding of the metabolic response to exercise. The knowledge gained in these efforts led to the invention of PolyLactate and the formulation of the original Cytomax. Dr. Brooks was recognized for his lifetime of outstanding scientific contributions related to sports medicine and exercise science at the 2007 Awards and Tributes Committee of the American College of Sports Medicine. He was awarded the Honor Award at the Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana. The ACSM Honor Award is the highest award of the College given to only one individual each year.

It looks to me that they may have been damaged because the method used for packaging, they were each individually wrapped in plastic I'm no fabric expert. I'll be returning this pair I'm a little tempted to try my luck and order another pair maybe these were just stored in a really hot place the fit was great."

If you're a wealthy, globe-trotting business traveler, which hotel would be your No. 1 pick when mixing business with pleasure?
Would you pick one in indulgent Las Vegas, shopping mecca New York or romantic Paris?
PHOTO TOUR: 10 Favorite hotels for romance
PHOTO TOUR: 14 Hotel restaurants with amazing views
According to dating website MissTravel.com, which pairs wealthy jet-setters with attractive people who can't afford to travel, Dubai's Burj Al Arab hotel is the No. 1 hotel and San Francisco is the No. 1 destination among high-flying travelers who want to bring a romantic companion.
The MissTravel.com website crunched data for the 33,000 members — nearly a tenth of the total — who identify them themselves as business travelers, says Brandon Wade, the site's founder and CEO. More than half of all members (56%) acknowledge using the site to find travel companions for a business trip, company statistics show.
The site asked members what they look for in a hotel when they want to incorporate romance to a trip that might otherwise consist of conference panels and meetings. Members, according to Wade, said they seek hotels with "amazing restaurants, a good location and ambiance that hits that romantic note."
The top 10 list of hotels includes extravagant luxury hotels in far-away cities that most people could only dream about visiting to more affordable city hotels in Miami and Chicago. Two of the 10 hotels, not surprisingly, are in Sin City.
The No. 1 hotel stands out
The soaring Burj Al Arab hotel, one of the world's tallest hotels, is located in a can't-miss landmark tower on the shores of the Arabian Sea.
Guests have access to their own butlers, in addition to many other over-the-top amenities. The hotel, for instance, maintains a fleet of Rolls Royce and Mercedes Benz cars as well as a helicopter that guests can access from the hotel's sky-high helipad (see photo).
The top 10 hotels list:
1. Burj Al Arab (Dubai)
2. Mandarin Oriental (San Francisco)
3. Waldorf Astoria (Orlando)
4. Trump SoHo (New York)
5. JW Marriott Marquis (Miami)
6. Hotel Plaza Athenee (Paris)
7. Hotel Palomar (Chicago)
8. The Cosmopolitan (Las Vegas)
9. The Peninsula (Shanghai)
10. The Wynn (Las Vegas)
TWITTER: For more travel stories, join Barb on Twitter
A Las Vegas resident, Wade says he can see why The Cosmopolitan made the cut, given its trendy restaurants and some guest rooms that provide panoramic views of the Bellagio hotel's roaring fountain show. "It screams romance right away," he says.
The top 10 destinations cited by business travelers who use the site:
1. San Francisco
2. New York
3. Dubai
4. Las Vegas
5. Chicago
6. Barcelona
7. Beijing
8. Rio De Janeiro
9. Paris
10. Miami
Since launching last April, Wade says they've seen an increase in the number of business travelers seeking travel-loving romantic partners.
"When you're single and you're constantly going to conventions and business meetings, casual hook-ups can get old," he says.
The MissTravel.com site has stirred some controversy. In last July's article in USA TODAY headlined, "Are you a hottie? Travel the world for free," my colleague Jayne Clark wrote that "the site has no shortage of critics. Feminists hate it. And some men complain he's making life tough for them by saying they should pick up travel expenses."

The Rochester metro area continued to show improvement in January, with an increase in both non-farm and private-sector jobs, the state Department of Labor reported Thursday.
From January 2013 to January 2014, Rochester gained 1,600 non-farm jobs, or 0.3 percent, while the private sector added 1,900 jobs, or 0.4 percent. Non-farm jobs include both private sector and government jobs.
Rochester ranked fourth among upstate metro areas in terms of non-farm job growth percentage in January. The metro area includes Monroe, Livingston, Ontario, Orleans and Wayne counties.
The Buffalo area added 3,700 non-farm jobs, or 0.7 percent, while the private sector gained 3,400 jobs, or 0.8 percent. Syracuse gained 700 non-farm jobs, or 0.2 percent, while the private sector added 600 jobs, or 0.2 percent.
In the 52-county upstate New York region, non-farm job growth was 6,900, or 0.2 percent. The private sector gained 13,000 jobs, or 0.5 percent, not seasonally adjusted.
From December to January the state lost 1,400 non-farm jobs, while the private sector gained 5,400 jobs, seasonally adjusted.
Non-seasonally adjusted data are valuable in year-to-year comparisons for the same month, for example, January 2013 versus January 2014, the Department of Labor has noted. When comparing different months, seasonally adjusted data provide the most valid comparison.
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in New York in January was 6.8 percent, down from 7 percent in December and 8.1 percent a year ago. The jobless rate was the lowest since December 2008.
"The state's economy added 5,400 private-sector jobs, reaching another all-time high in January," said Bohdan Wynnyk, the Department of Labor's deputy director of the division of research and statistics. "This, coupled with federal benchmarking revisions, has shown the economy to be even stronger than we thought."
The educational and health services sector continued to lead the industries with job gains in January, adding some 37,500 jobs since January 2013. The government continued to bleed the most jobs, shedding 5,600 in the last year, primarily at the federal level.
Local employment rates are scheduled to be released next week.

Grant McGee: Harmony hard to achieve
December 10, 2010
Grant McGee
"I suppose aggression is the way of the universe," I said to The Lady of the House last Saturday. We were at a local eatery. She peered over her menu.
"What now?" She said.
I told her the story about the guy in south Florida who woke up one morning to find his home had become a battleground between two bee swarms. Millions of bees died.
"What do you expect, negotiations?" she said. "That one queen bee would tell the other, 'Oh you were here first, by all means, we'll fly somewhere else.'"
"Well, I mean, why couldn't the two live in peaceful coexistence?" I said smiling.
"Seriously, what planet are you from?"
It's times like this that give me pause and reflection. I got to thinking about a notion Rodney King and I had: Why can't we all just get along?
Why do we fight and quibble amongst ourselves, all the way from person-to-person to nation-to-nation?
Here in the Christmas season with "Peace on earth, good will toward men" and all that jazz, I wondered where I got such a silly notion.
Well I don't think it's silly but I've been told it is.
Could it be from watching Disney movies as a kid? Was it watching "Leave it to Beaver" on TV and thinking that was a real American family?
Was it something my mother or father said? If it was I can't remember it. Was it in school? Possibly Sunday school?
People laughed when I'd speak of everyone getting along. I asked a pal what was wrong with my idea.
"Because we can't," he said. "It's that simple."
Maybe the idea wasn't passed to me by anyone or anything. Maybe I simply thought it'd make for a better world.
Oh well. "Peace on earth, good will toward men" and all that jazz.
And why can't we all just get along anyway?

Arbogast Jitterbug
For more than 50 years, anglers have relied on the Aborgast Jitterbug. It still sets the standard for all night-time topwater lures, and is also a well documented big fish catcher during the day as well. The Jitterbug's double cupped lip, placed at precisely the correct angle, produces the loud, rhythmic, surface-busting sound that is proven to be irresistible to every known surface feeding fish…especially bass. Available in a range of time-tested colors and two sizes, the Aborgast Jitterbug continues to ignite explosive strikes anytime it hits the water.

Comments: I caught one bass that was 4.5 pounds on this lure. The piece holding the front plate together broke after hauling in the 4.5 pounder. Upgrade the treble hooks! Has great action and leaves a nice bubble trail but not very durable.
From: Ivory: Indianapolis, IN 12/13/16
Comments: I caught a 5lb 5oz this morning at 5:30 in the dark. The back screw came out but landed it ok. Tighten all the screws and add a dab of Super Glue. Also add Owner Hyper Wire split rings and #4 high quality red EWG hooks. This will greatly increase your hook up ratio.
From: John: Germantown, MD 9/8/15
Comments: Smallmouth just detonate on these things at night. I recommend that you only use them while wet wading...that way it won't matter when a bass slams it so hard that you lose bladder control. You have been warned!
From: Brad: Gate City, VA
Comments: I was fishing one of theses babys out of a kayak on a quiet foggy morning, then SPLASH and I catch a nice 18" largemouth that was roughly 3 1/2 lbs. great lure. do not hesitate to buy
From: Adam: WI
Comments: Still one of the best fishing lures ever invented. once you modify it, it becomes a deadly weapon for night fishing. I cut off the stock hooks, add a split ring, and put on twin size 2 owner stinger trebles(650 size jitterbug). color doesnt matter as long as it's black.
From: Cullen: Ashburn, VA
Comments: I have used the black 650 and the black Jitterbug XL (Musky Jitterbug) for fifty years at night and in low light conditions and the result has been some very hefty bass. Don't throw these at night if you have a heart condition. Also, do not strike until you feel the weight of the fish and your rod loads up, because you don't want these weapons whistling back at you in the dark. The only thing I don't like about the large black Jitterbugs is that gators are fond of them too. Oh, and the stock hooks work, but are dull, sharpen them.
From: South GA
Comments: I adore this lure, but, I still wonder why tacklewarehouse doesn't carry Hula Poppers.. those are probably the best poppers on the market.
From: Eric: Everett, Ma, USA
Comments: Probably the best night fishing bait and one of the most fun to fish period there is a reason this thing made it to be a classic.
From: Jhon: MO
Comments: An absolute classic, unchanged for a reason. I've been fishing these for three decades, and there's no reason to ever change it. Black is best, day or night, since the fish are looking from underneath, white belly is decent when it's dark. Fish it with a slow, stop and go retrieve, and get ready for some fun. If I had to feed my family on bass and pike (not a great thought) and could only have one lure, this would be the one.
From: Eric: Duluth, MN
Comments: after 50 years on the market if you look at alot of the top water lures many have copied the way this lure works i have rigged the bait with single weedless hooks this lure will out fish all!!!!!!! of the top lures listed if worked slowly through the slop and weed edges excellent lure period have caught more 5-6 pounders on this lure than any other
From: Jim: Mercer, WI
Comments::a great night time bait! this lure does its damage in ponds and around tules and weed beds. the only other bait that is better is the heddon crazy crawler because you can reel it slower and still get the plop-plop sound you desire plus you can tune the wings. in fact, the crazy crawler makes more of a chirping sound rather than a plop, which is deadly. the newer jitterbugs have an internal rattle which is a bonus. it also comes in a 1 oz. size with side hooks for giant sized fish--
From: Wes: Salinas, CA
Comments: Finally, what took you so long tackle warehouse, get with the program man!!! I am glad that tackle warehouse is starting to carry this classic lure. The price is great for what is a top, top-water killer. I suggest you buy 2 of each color. Once you get one of these in your possession, be sure that you can handle the heart attack that will surely come when the fish strikes your Jitterbug. Make sure you hone those hooks, they are dull in factory form. Retrieve the jitterbug slowly, a standard 4:1 ratio reel is best, make sure the sound that the bug" make is in a plop, plop, plop rythm. When you get a strike, don't stand there with your mouth open, don't set the hook in a vicious manner, or you will lose that fish :0 Keep reeling and you'll hook him. Buy the largest size Jitterbug for extra large fish. Good luck.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Overall, great spinner bait. This bait has caught me a lot of 4-5lb largies. How ever this bait is not very durable. Every time I catch a fish I find myself re adjusting the wire. If they were to make and improvements it should be the wire. My favorite color out of all these is the golden shiner!
From: Cody: Ripon, WI 10/27/14
Comments: With counter rotating blades and Silo-tek skirt, this one is made to last. Most importantly, the Vibra-Flex flat catches tons of fish! Get ya some.
From: A.J.: RI 4/11/14
Comments: The bait is great especially for smallies but it doesnt matter to me how long the wire lasts becuse usually the hook point rolls first
From: Jake: NJ
Comments: love the spinnerbaits they are about all i use but they are not stronger than the rest i have never broke a spinner bait wire until this weekend i hooked a good fish and had it close to the bank and the spinner bait broke in half and lost the fish but i will not stop using them
From: Chris: Flora, MS
Comments: BEST SPINNERBAIT EVER! I've caught probably around 60 fish on this spinnerbait...ONE bait, the same one and ive caught that many fish and it is still in great condition. The paint is chipped from all the bass teeth but the wire is straight, it runs perfectly true. I bought it in bluegill color and last year somehow my line wrapped around the skirt and it was snagged and when i pulled it off the braid cut every strand of the skirt clean off, i bought a pack of strike king perfect skirts in bluegill color and the bass still crush it. I've caught a bunch of nice bass including one 6 lb bass. Great spinnerbait
From: NBM: NE
Comments: this is a good bait but nowhere near as good as the counter strike i wish tw carried those
From: Doug: Blacksburg, SC
Comments: I love this bait...!

Parks Canada
Home > Learn and Discover > Commemorating the War of 1812 > War of 1812 Artefacts > Silhouette Portrait of an Officer of the 100th Regiment of Foot
This miniature silhouette portrait, circa 1804-1818, is one of very few images of British or Canadian soldiers who served on the Niagara frontier during the War of 1813, and in particular, at Fort George National Historic Site of Canada. Based on the partially legible inscription on the back of the portrait, this is thought to be the image of Brevet Major John Martin, who belonged to the 100th Regiment of Foot. Martin distinguished himself in the dramatic midnight assault on Fort Niagara on December 19, 1813, where he led troops to capture the North Redoubt of the fort. The capture of Fort Niagara helped the British to secure the mouth of the Niagara River, and also allowed them to repair Fort George and construct Fort Mississauga.
The 100th Regiment of Foot was raised in Ireland in 1804, for service in the Napoleonic wars, though they were transferred to Nova Scotia in 1805. During the War of 1812 the regiment served on the Niagara frontier, and were present at the Battle of Sackett's Harbour (1813) and the Battle of Chippewa (1814). The regiment disbanded in 1818, and many of its soldiers decided to stay in Canada. They established the settlement of Richmond, Ontario.
To learn more about Fort George, visit Fort George National Historic Site of Canada on the Parks Canada website. To see more artwork from the War of 1812, visit previous artefacts Miniature Portrait of Edward Cotton and View of Amherstburg, watercolour by Margaret Reynolds.

He's ready to move on, but music history is filled with acts that failed to recapture their initial fame.
Psy enjoyed a gold-star year in 2012, piling up 3.6 million download sales and 1 billion video views with his huge hit, Gangnam Style. But now that the Pony dance has galloped around the globe, the 35-year-old South Korean rapper is ready for a new groove. He told MTV News that he may be "ending" Gangnam Style because it got "too popular," and he'll be working on a new single.
What are the possibilities that he'll repeat Gangnam Style's success? "The chances of capturing that zeitgeist are very small," says Keith Caulfield, associate director of charts at Billboard. "Gangnam Style was at the right place and right time." Adding to the unlikelihood of another Gangnam phenom: Psy doesn't sing in English, which diminishes his chances of a second success in America.
If history is any indication, Psy faces an insurmountable challenge. "The same question could be asked of Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know or Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe," says Caulfield. "But as long as they keep making good music, it doesn't matter. Did Bruce Springsteen have another Born in the USA? Did Madonna have another Like a Virgin? No. But they went on to other successes."
Here's a look at four other artists who had it all, until they didn't.
Signature song: U Can't Touch This (1990)
Dissing the hit: With five singles that went top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, Hammer was far from a one-hit wonder. But rap purists decried his rampant sampling, saying he was stealing more than borrowing from others' songs. That there were MC Hammer dolls in toy stores and a Saturday morning cartoon, Hammerman, only added to the ridicule from his peers. He responded to the backlash by dropping the "MC" from his stage name and took a grittier stance with his music.
How his story played out: His 1991 album Too Legit to Quit met with success, but on 1995's Inside Out, Hammer nailed the coffin shut. By 1996, his notoriously lavish lifestyle caught up with him and he filed for bankruptcy.
Signature song: Ice Ice Baby (1990)
Dissing the hit: With the meteoric success of his debut album, To the Extreme, the Miami rapper attempted to stretch his moment with a documentary, Cool As Ice (1991). By then, however, fans had moved on. Over the years, he tried on different styles – laidback rap, gangster rap and an amalgamation of rock and rap – but nothing fit. In 1999, he appeared on MTV's 25 Lame, a special ridiculing the worst music videos, and trashed the set with a baseball bat, a clear acknowledgement that his Ice Ice Baby video is, in fact, lame.
How his story played out: Vanilla Ice, aka Robert Van Winkle, turned to real-estate development. He earned plenty of money by renovating houses and flipping them. He even had a DIY reality TV show, The Vanilla Ice Project.
Signature song: Only In My Dreams (1987)
Dissing the hit: She had a few more hits (Foolish Beat, Shake Your Love), all before she graduated high school. Then she grew up and insisted on being called "Deborah."
How her story played out: Her attempt at changing her image from cute bubblegum-popping teen to sultry singer didn't take with fans. But she gathered a considerable following when she switched her focus to Broadway, landing starring roles in Les Miserables and a West End production of Grease.
Signature song: Take On Me (1985)
Dissing the hit: The Norwegian heartthrobs' groundbreaking music video for Take On Me and the popularity of 1985 debut album Hunting High and Low made them international stars. They tried to evolve their sound, moving from synth-pop to rock with sophomore album Scoundrel Days, but it bombed in the USA.

Holness and Perrin star with pro teams in Champions LeagueOTTAWA – Tasha Holness of Calgary was named top server and Gord Perrin of Creston, B.C., was among the top scorers to highlight Canadian national team player performances in second round play this week in the Champions League volleyball tournament for men and women.
In the women's Champions League, Holness helped her pro squad Tomis from Constanta, Romania to a 25-11, 29-25, 16-25, 21-26, 17-15 victory over Schweriner SC from Germany. Tomis improved to 2-0 in tournament play. Holness produced 11 points including two service aces and three blocks
On the men's side, Arkis, Turkey, which includes three Canadians, notched a second victory in two matches defeating Cai Teruel of Spain 19-25, 25-23, 25-19 21-25, 15-11.
Perrin scored 18 points with 16 spikes for the squad guided by Canada's national team head coach Glenn Hoag of Gatineau, Que. Justin Duff of Winnipeg is also a member of the squad.
The news wasn't as good for national team veteran Dan Lewis of Oakville, Ont., whose ACH Volley squad from Slovenia lost in straight sets to Macerata, Italy 26-24, 25-13, 25-15. Lewis, who plays the Libero position, was ranked second overall in receiving.
There are 28 clubs in the tournament splits into seven pools of four. Each squad faces a club opponent twice (home and away) in round robin action. Twelve clubs will advance to the playoffs which start in January.
It is a similar structure for the women with 24 clubs split into six divisions.

Is a Ladislav Smid deal imminent?
Jonathan Willis
March 31 2013 02:14PM
The single biggest issue for the Oilers to resolve between now and the NHL trade deadline is the uncertainty of Ladislav Smid's future with the club. On that note, those hoping to see the Czech rearguard signed to an extension got good news today.
Twitter Attack!
According to the Twitter, a contract extension may be imminent.
I'm hearing four years, $16-million ball park for Smid. Could be done soon. #Oilers— Derek Van Diest (@SUNdvandiest) March 31, 2013
Smid sounding optimistic today, hopes to have something done in then next few days, says he wants to remain an Oiler.— Ryan Rishaug (@TSNRyanRishaug) March 31, 2013
Good News?
A $4 million cap hit – the number Van Diest suggests – is less than ideal, but with a weak group of free agents on defence this summer it might be less than what Smid would get on the open market. Given the player's repeatedly stated desire to stay in Edmonton, I wonder if the team might not be able to knock down the cap hit a little – perhaps by offering another year or by frontloading the deal a bit. Even if they can't, Smid is the best left-side defenceman currently on the roster and is only replaceable via trade – something that's likely to be a costly proposition.
In other words: in a perfect world, the dollars would be a little lower, but the critical thing is getting an important player under contract.
Plus, it means Oilers fans will continue to be treated to this once or twice a year:
"I blacked out. Last thing I remember is Petry getting me the puck. I closed my eyes and shot it." - Ladi Smid on his goal— Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) March 31, 2013
Recently around the Nation Network
- Canucks Army: Vancouver embarrassed by Oilers, Hall at Rexall
- Flames Nation: In defence of Jay Feaster, sort of
- Jets Nation: Trade deadline targets - Drew Stafford
- Canucks Army: "Two other NHL teams have called on Luongo over the past week"
- Lowetide: Knock knock knockin'
- Willis: The hybrid approach
- Gregor: An Oilers' winning streak?
- Lowetide: Running the show
- Willis: Man, Stockton's going to be the toughest team in the ECHL
- Willis: Extracting maximum value for Ryan Whitney
- Follow Jonathan Willis on Twitter!
Garrison has 5 goals and 8points.
Smid has 1goal and 3 points.
Offence costs money.
Also worth noting that Smid is -2 while Garrison is + 11
Keith Ballard: $4.2million, 0G 2A +2
Preventing goals costs money. The same reason why you complain about us having small skilled players but would like a Ryan Clowe with his 0G 11A over Sam Gagner who is paid less yet provides much more o
Depends what your team needs.
April 01 2013, 12:46PM
A very reasonable signing at fair rates.
I love how you automatically know he's talking about you. Your hard work is paying off!
Keith Ballard: $4.2million, 0G 2A +2

When have I ever expressed any interest in Ryan Clowe?
As for Gagner, he's having a nice season but still getting killed by the toughs.

art-work is amazing though, just beautifull
I don't understand why that building didn't collapse the moment he jumped off the roof, he jump off it so hard the ground under/around it cracked and broke. Also, if he could do THAT much damage you'd think he could also get the falling pieces.
Never the less, this manga is one of my favorites now lol, I pray that this gets animated.
Also, it shows just how much stronger he is then anyone else, that Robot dude was the 7th ranked hero, and he couldn't even scratch the meteor, Saitama didn't look like he struggled, he just got pissed off and blew it out of the air lol
Better than having everything blown off the face of the map though.
Wow now that's amazing. In full color none the less. I rather read this once a month with 50 pages or so. That way it can make up with the manga's incredibly slow pace.
sig made by me
Lmao with the last page. And he goy me confused there when he said baldie when he's the only skinhead around ha ha.
sig made by me
And this ends the current arc, but man, was the Licenseless Rider (is he breaking the law or what ?) awesome, or is it only me ?
BTW, the scanlations of the original version have finally reached the current raws:
The scanlation start right after this fish king arc, so you can read if you want it, it's good, even if the lines are crappy, the positioning and author's imagination in presenting the story is quite something.

Soft Contact Lens Care: The Basics
Caring for your soft contact lenses is easier than ever. One-bottle care systems and disposable contact lenses mean that comprehensive lens care involves much less time, money, and trouble than it did just a few years ago. Each pair of lenses has unique needs, and you should follow the regimen prescribed by your eye doctor. Some products don't mix well, or will ruin certain lenses. Don't switch to a new regimen without your doctor's approval. With that in mind, here are the basic steps for soft contact lens care.
1. Wash your hands. This keeps dirt and germs out of your eyes! Avoid moisturizing soaps, as they can stain lenses. Dry your hands with a lint-free towel.
2. Remove one lens and clean it with the recommended solution. Cleaning removes mineral deposits, cosmetics, and other debris to keep your lenses clear, comfortable and safe. The FDA recommends that you rub the lens in the palm of your hand with a few drops of solution, even if you are using a "no-rub" product.
3. Rinse the lens again to remove the loosened debris, making sure to take as long as the package directs. This is a very important step.
4. Place the lens in your clean lens case and fill with fresh solution. Don't top-up your old solution. Fresh solution will sterilize the lens. Disinfection time varies by brand; check the package for details.
5. Repeat steps 2 – 4 for your other lens.

Skip to comments.Obama: Limited Gov't That Preserves Free Markets 'Doesn't Work. It Has Never Worked'
Posted on 09/03/2012 7:16:24 AM PDT by Son House
In a speech delivered at Osawatomie High School in Osawatomie, Kansas, on Tuesday, President Barack Obama argued that while a limited government that preserves free markets "speaks to our rugged individualism" as Americans, such a system "doesn't work" and "has never worked" and that Americans must look to a more activist government that taxes more, spends more and regulates more if they want to preserve the middle class.
"'[T]here is a certain crowd in Washington who, for the last few decades, have said, lets respond to this economic challenge with the same old tune. 'The market will take care of everything,' they tell us," said Obama. "If we just cut more regulations and cut more taxes--especially for the wealthy--our economy will grow stronger.
"Sure, they say, there will be winners and losers," Obama continued. "But if the winners do really well, then jobs and prosperity will eventually trickle down to everybody else. And, they argue, even if prosperity doesnt trickle down, well, thats the price of liberty.
"Now, its a simple theory," said Obama. "And we have to admit, its one that speaks to our rugged individualism and our healthy skepticism of too much government. Thats in Americas DNA. And that theory fits well on a bumper sticker. But heres the problem: It doesnt work. It has never worked.
"It didnt work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression," said Obama. "Its not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the 50s and 60s. And it didnt work when we tried it during the last decade. I mean, understand, its not as if we havent tried this theory.
"Remember in those years, in 2001 and 2003, Congress passed two of the most expensive tax cuts for the wealthy in history," said Obama. "And what did it get us? The slowest job growth in half a century. Massive deficits that have made it much harder to pay for the investments that built this country and provided the basic security that helped millions of Americans reach and stay in the middle class==things like education and infrastructure, science and technology, Medicare and Social Security.
"Remember that in those same years, thanks to some of the same folks who are now running Congress, we had weak regulation, we had little oversight, and what did it get us?" said Obama. "Insurance companies that jacked up peoples premiums with impunity and denied care to patients who were sick, mortgage lenders that tricked families into buying homes they couldnt afford, a financial sector where irresponsibility and lack of basic oversight nearly destroyed our entire economy.
"We simply cannot return to this brand of 'youre on your own' economics if were serious about rebuilding the middle class in this country," said Obama.
And slow job growth? What could possibly impede any business wanting to grow? Could it be managing expenses? Expenses like taxes and complying with government regulation.
He doesn't even understand the problem. The media doesn't want to present facts that make reality difficult for Obama. And now Democrat supporters can get exited over this nonsense economics this week. If the implications weren't so serious I'd have a good laugh at some of the locals as they express their anticipation excitement...
Depends on your definition/interpretation of "it worked".
Obama and his lying thugs are proof that there is a parallel universe — all socialists live in it.
This admission that King Bozo Overdraft is a communist speaks volumes. We must throw him off of the throne.
It always works to the point that these idiots can say how it wasn't free enterprise that gave them prosperity, but some mythical "third way" that only THEY have just managed to figure out.
Postwar Europe and the Social Democrats are the best example of this.
Off the empty chair.
When somebody does not do the job, we've got to let 'em go.
Move to North Korea or Cuba if you don't f*ckin' like capitalism.
This guy heaps on the BS higher and thicker every day. I swear you've got to be the Supreme Grand Exhaulted PooBa of the Dumbass Club to believe anything this idiot says.
We haven't tried free enterprise since the Roaring 20's. Every downturn can be pinned to massive gummit interference like Fannie Mae.
PRay for America
Yeah, okay there, Barry. The US was a miserable failure until thankfully, you came along to save the day...
"Trickle down" economics was a disaster that created 24 million jobs and 7% growth in some quarters. But we prefer Barry's legacy of 15% real unemployment and 1% (manipulated) growth...
Is it any wonder he made this speech at a high school? I'd like to see him try to make it at any company that wasn't heavily subsidized.
I didn't see any satire tags...
If there is ANY doubt that 0bama is a tin pot dictator wannabe that despises personal freedom, that statement should remove any doubt.
How does the affirmative action (in everything in his entire life) moron explain how the USA became the economic giant it did if free markets don't work?
How does the affirmative action moron explain that China only cranked up their economic engine when they injected a little free market into their system?
How does this half breed explain North vs. South Korea? Seems the central planners are a 100% failure.
How does the dark lord explain E/W Berlin or E/W Germany both perfect examples of the free market over central planners.
More importantly, why does the GOP refuse to use such perfect examples of free market superiority any time these lying SOBs pull this crap?
How could anyone conclude the details of Obama's economic plan are going to work? Mr Stephanopoulos, please explain, what are the details and how do they work?
high schools, collages etc, always a school where the young are and where he can find a crowd and where his security fees are less.
Empty chair he is
It worked until Super Chair came into office. He just messed it up.
I'm listening to the audio unabridged version of Les Miserables. Those who only know this book from the stage production are missing out on Hugo's brilliance. He is discussing through plot and sometimes through plain essay style, the roll of government. He analyzes the French Revolution and the situation when he was writing the book which was written in 1862 but he discusses with great interest Communism. Right now I'm listening to I think Book for of the last volume but I get lost when I do audio versions. He is saying that government creates wealth and it redistributes it. He says you have to have both. Fascinating. I recommend it. Great story too.
Obama's big government has only brought us massive unemployment, crushing and unsustainable debt, productivity killing government regulations, and ridicuously high engery prices. Four yeats of comoplete and total economic failure. The next four years would be far worse.
Wake up America. Kick this Marxist out of the White House!!!!
What? It's only produced two centuries of generally increasing economic growth and prosperity. Obama fundamentally hates the history of this country and all it stands for.
the media, yet again they never question their party of their messiah, instead they cover for him etc and notice how this was at a high school.
What about their studies, what about teachers working, seems a day off for the kids and teachers while jug ears gets to throw a bunch of lies and crap at little kids.
What a simpleton—very definition of insanity.
"It didnt work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression," said Obama. "Its not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the 50s and 60s. And it didnt work when we tried it during the last decade. I mean, understand, its not as if we havent tried this theory.
If I was running for President and I wanted to lose big time, I would say this EXACT same thing Obama spouted! I am almost convinced he doesn't want to win. Remember, he had to run a little center right to win in '08. Now he's spouting full fledged communist/socialist crap and he expects everyone's going to love this?
Obama either wants to lose, or he's such an arrogant narcissist he thinks he can even out do Satan himself!
Usually, Democrats don't say this stuff out loud. I don't think this is going to play well with independents.
What's an "expensive tax cut"??
A whole lot of Americans, way too many, find President Obama's arguments compelling. It's the old security versus liberty meme. Too many Americans want government to protect them from life's risks, but what is Obama really offering? He's offering to share the pie evenly, but what he doesn't say is it's going to be an ever shrinking pie. It's not like this hasn't been tried in the past. It has, and it failed miserably. The only ones who truly prospered under such a system were the leaders, and even they had far less than they might have had in a free market system.
Yes. President Obama offers what he can't really deliver. Nonetheless, people on the dole don't really care about liberty. All they want to know is who is going to deliver the freebies.
Is there now ANY doubt among you Democrats and "Independents" this punk is not a "Socialist" at the minimum?
It's almost like he knows he's going to lose, and is just spouting off in frustration.
That one speech is FILLED with fodder for the Republicans.
If the Republicans can't capitalize on that, they don't deserve to win this election.
Don't chase shiny objects [things the Dems/Lib Media toss out there to distract from the real issues: joblessness, the economy, inflation].
I am just incredibly sad to read this.
What makes me even sadder though, is that there is a very real chance that we are about to send an avowed Marxist back to the White House for a second term.
Our country is completely gone.
"This guy heaps on the BS higher and thicker every day."
He said this last Tuesday and we're JUST NOW hearing about it? Has this been reported anywhere other than CNS? I haven't seen this on FoxNews, American Thinker, Spectator or anywhere else for that matter. This crap needs to be shouted from the highest heavens.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Almost straight out of Atlas Shrugged..."We gave freedom a chance and it failed now let us try something else"
Great question from a great post in a thread of great posts.
Men naturally rebel against the injustice of which they are victims. Thus, when plunder is organized by law for the profit of those who make the law, all the plundered classes try somehow to enter by peaceful or revolutionary means into the making of laws. According to their degree of enlightenment, these plundered classes may propose one of two entirely different purposes when they attempt to attain political power: Either they may wish to stop lawful plunder, or they may wish to share in it.
Woe to the nation when this latter purpose prevails among the mass victims of lawful plunder when they, in turn, seize the power to make laws! Until that happens, the few practice lawful plunder upon the many, a common practice where the right to participate in the making of law is limited to a few persons. But then, participation in the making of law becomes universal. And then, men seek to balance their conflicting interests by universal plunder. Instead of rooting out the injustices found in society, they make these injustices general. As soon as the plundered classes gain political power, they establish a system of reprisals against other classes. They do not abolish legal plunder. (This objective would demand more enlightenment than they possess.) Instead, they emulate their evil predecessors by participating in this legal plunder, even though it is against their own interests.
It is as if it were necessary, before a reign of justice appears, for everyone to suffer a cruel retribution some for their evilness, and some for their lack of understanding.
It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.
Socialism Is Legal Plunder
Italics are Bastiat quotes from "The Law"
"Its almost like he knows hes going to lose, and is just spouting off in frustration."
This is why I would have loved to see Gingrich debate 0bama. This is the whole point of this election. Capitalism vs Socialism. 0bama does not believe in capitalism.
Romney/Ryan need to hammer this non-stop.
This rhetoic, pathetic as it is, resounds with some of the dumbasses we have who vote. In today's letters to editor locally, some jackwaggon pointed out that the anti obama crowd believes that reducing taxes on the rich means they do not pay their fair share.
I wonder what this asshat would say if someone said, OK, why not just raise everyone's taxes 5%, in other words, putting in a new bracket beginning at income level zero.
Is not an equally important question that of why Obammy chose the venue, and the location?
Look under the rug at this rascal.
See he's gone full commie in public. Not even remotely trying to hiding it anymore.
No doubt in my mind, he was SENT to destroy.
He is a sociopath through and through. His glibness is sickening.
Be confident! Remember, Starve the Beast 2.0 is the next step if he gets a second term. He won't be able to just keep spending with even less tax revenue collected, and the people living off government either will get a check that bounces, or the printing of more money to cover expenses will cause dramatic inflation. Win or lose, we have a plan to bring government spending to a halt.
Where has socialism EVER worked, Obama?
Europe? LOLzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Soviet Union? ROFL
China? LMAO
Cuba? Venezuela? N. Korea?
Name one, Obama.
Blacks are going to vote for Obama regardless. But every time I see these white people behind Obama, nodding at his utterances and smiling beatifically as if they're having a religious experience, I wonder what kind of mental illness has hold of them. I cannot understand it.
Well, there it is.
Hussein has declared open war on our COnstitutional Republic.
Thanks Son House.
"You Didn't Build That" Isn't Going Away: It doesn't matter what Obama meant. Here's why.
