A., Elementary Education, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois, 1977 About Paul Egeland After college graduation and as an intermediate grade teacher in St. Charles, Illinois, Dr. Egeland was active in the school's outdoor education program. This fit well with his camping background and led to graduate studies in Outdoor Teacher Education. His interest in experiential education continued in South America where he served with TEAM as an educator at a school for missionary children in the Andes Mountains and while there inaugurated an outdoor education program. For five years Dr. Egeland was absent from the classroom to help administer a large outdoor education and conference center in Wisconsin. He returned to the Fox Valley area of Illinois to pursue doctoral studies while continuing teaching in the elementary classroom. In responding to the invitation to join Wheaton's Department of Education, his teaching, research, international travels, and camping/outdoor education experiences have provided the impetus to encourage prospective teachers. Presently he chairs the education department. Dr. Egeland is married to Marie, a marriage and family therapist and travel professional. They have two lovely daughters, one wonderful son-in-law, a beautiful grand daughter, and continue to reside and worship in the Fox River Valley, an enjoyable bike ride from the Wheaton campus.

In 1944, Parducci produced one of the first varietal bottling of California Zinfandel. This wine signaled the arrival of California as a premium winegrowing area and of Parducci Wine Cellars as the producer of quality wines. Two years later, we made the first varietal bottling of California Petite Sirah and today we are still the largest producer of Petite Sirah with just over 20,000 cases.
Parducci is "Family Farmed," locally owned and operated in California's Mendocino County. We are committed to sustainable winegrowing practices that yield top quality grapes and wines while protecting the environment and supporting our community and local farmers. View all Parducci Wines
About North CoastView a map of North Coast wineries
Beyond Napa and Sonoma in the north you find a couple of other counties producing great wine. Among these are Mendocino and Lake County. The northernmost California winegrowing regions, these two counties are right above Napa and Sonoma, geographically. Yet, wine-wise they are very different – both from their southern neighbors and from each other.
Notable FactsMendocino has a high amount of organic vintners and vines. The first winery to settle here was Fetzer, which practices organic viticulture and holds some of the most vineyard land in the area. Mendocino has many pockets of micro-climates while Lake County, being smaller in size, is less diverse climactically. As for the grapes, Chardonnay is the most popular in both counties, but there are also some excellent Sauvignon Blancs, particularly in the Lake County. In red wine, Zinfandel leads the way, followed by Rhone Blends and Petite Sirah. The reds in both counties are complex and sumptuous. Anderson Valley is a sub-AVA of Mendicino and is quite well known for its excellent cool climate, producing the delicious Roederer Estate sparkling wines and some wonderful cool-climate Syrah.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

The Poetics of FootballBy Ariel Lewiton
I grew up outside Boston, a resident of Red Sox Nation, but mine was not a sports-loving household. My father watches football regularly these days, but he didn't when I was a kid. He'd watch a game if it was on, distractedly, while doing something else. The rest of us did not. We didn't follow game schedules or scores. I've never been to Fenway Park, though my middle school was less than a mile from the Green Monster. When they tore down Boston Garden I expressed manufactured dismay—I'd never been there either. Until I moved to Chicago after college and bought tickets to a few Cubs games on the cheap, at a yard sale, the only professional sporting event I'd ever attended was an early round of the 1994 World Cup—South Korea versus Bolivia—which ended in a tied shutout.
My sister and I played soccer. She was better than me. I figure skated and entertained deluded fantasies of making it to the Olympics, but I couldn't get any height on my jumps and my spins were too loose and wobbly. Eventually I switched to ice hockey, which I played with the same poor-to-barely-adequate ability as each of my prior athletic endeavors. In college I spent a week on the women's rugby team before quitting because it hurt. Read More

The picture shows the lifeless corpse of 26-year-old Tamerlan laying on a table.
The body has multiple bullet wounds ... as well as a gigantic gash along his chest rib cage area.
The body is covered in blood ... especially in the facial region.
In the death photo, Tamerlan's mouth and eyes are open wide.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the photo is authentic. One source tells us officials are investigating to find out who leaked the picture.

By David Crary and Denise Lavoie Associated Press
BOSTON — The Boston area held funerals for two more of its dead Tuesday — an 8-year-old boy and a police officer — as evidence mounted that the older Tsarnaev brother had embraced a radical, anti-American strain of Islam and was the driving force behind the Boston Marathon bombing.
Younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's condition was upgraded from serious to fair as investigators continued building their case against the 19-year-old college student. He could face the death penalty after being charged Monday with joining forces with his brother, now dead, in setting off the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs that killed three people.
In Washington, Senate Intelligence Committee member Richard Burr, R-N.C., said after his panel was briefed by federal law enforcement officials that there is "no question" that Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was "the dominant force" behind the attacks, and that the brothers had apparently been radicalized by material on the Internet rather than by contact with militant groups overseas.
Martin Richard, a schoolboy from Boston's Dorchester neighborhood who was the youngest of those killed in the April 15 blasts at the marathon finish line, was laid to rest after a family-only funeral Mass.
A funeral also was held for Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier, 26, who authorities said was shot to death by the Tsarnaev brothers April 18. A memorial service for Collier was scheduled for today at MIT, with Vice President Joe Biden expected to attend.
More than 260 people were injured by the bomb blasts. About 50 were still hospitalized.
Authorities believe neither brother had links to terror groups. However, two U.S. officials said Tuesday that Tamerlan Tsarnaev — who died last week in a gunbattle — frequently looked at extremist websites, including Inspire magazine, an English-language online publication produced by al-Qaida's Yemen affiliate. The magazine has endorsed lone-wolf terror attacks.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.
On Capitol Hill, members of the Senate Intelligence Committee were briefed by the FBI and other law enforcement officials at a closed-door session Tuesday evening.
Afterward, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., described the two brothers as "a couple of individuals who become radicalized using Internet sources."
"So we need to be prepared for Boston-type attacks, not just 9/11-style attacks," Rubio said, referring to lone-wolf terrorists as opposed to well-organized teams from established terror networks.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said law enforcement officials have gotten "minimal" information from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and are still looking into whether the brothers had training or coaching from a foreign group.
The brothers' parents live in Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim province in Russia's Caucasus, where Islamic militants have waged an insurgency against Russian security forces for years.
Family members reached in the U.S. and abroad by The Associated Press said Tamerlan was steered toward a strict strain of Islam under the influence of a Muslim convert known to the Tsarnaev family only as Misha.
After befriending Misha, Tamerlan gave up boxing, stopped studying music and began opposing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to family members, who said he turned to websites and literature claiming that the CIA was behind 9/11.
Somehow, he just took his brain," said Tamerlan's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., who recalled conversations with Tamerlan's worried father about Misha's influence.
"You could always hear his younger brother and sisters say, 'Tamerlan said this,' and 'Tamerlan said that.' Dzhokhar loved him. He would do whatever Tamerlan would say," recalled Elmirza Khozhugov, the ex-husband of Tamerlan's sister. He spoke by telephone from his home in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Hoping to learn more about the motives, U.S. investigators traveled to southern Russia on Tuesday to speak to the parents of the two suspects, a U.S. Embassy official said.
A lawyer for the family, Zaurbek Sadakhanov, said the parents had just seen pictures of the mutilated body of their elder son and were not up to speaking with anyone.

What's in a name? Sometimes nothing. Sometimes major confusion, if you choose the wrong title for your TV show.
And that's what "Cougar Town" creator/executive producer Bill Lawrence has been bemoaning since shortly after that show premiered in 2009 the "incredible screw-up" of the show's title.
"Cougar Town," which returns Jan. 8 on TBS, after three seasons on ABC, was a show about a 40-year-old, newly divorced woman (Courteney Cox) who, Lawrence and Co. thought, would be dating a lot of younger men. But the show quickly morphed into an ensemble comedy about a bunch of (mostly) fortysomething friends, and the title had nothing to do with the show.
Producers had serious discussions with ABC execs about changing the title between Seasons 1 and 2, "but they decided it was would be too confusing to change it at that point," Lawrence said. "So we were stuck with it."
ABC's decision is understandable, but it's not like this has never happened before. That same network changed the title of Ellen DeGeneres' sitcom "These Friends of Mine" to "Ellen" after its first season.
Of course that's not the only time a show's titled was changed after it was already on the air. "Make Room For Daddy" became "The Danny Thomas Show." "Saturday Night" became "Saturday Night Live." "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" became "Saved by the Bell." "All In the Family" became "Archie Bunker's Place." "Enterprise" became "Star Trek: Enterprise."
And "Valerie" became "Valerie's Family" and then "The Hogan Family" after the comedy's original star, Valerie Harper, was fired in a contract dispute.
Sometimes titles are shortened. "The Misadventures of Shefiff Lobo" became "Lobo." "The Seinfeld Chronicles" became "Seinfeld."
"Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place" became "Two Guys and a Girl"; "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" became "8 Simple Rules."
And the redundant "Navy NCIS" became, simply, "NCIS."
It's far more common for titles to change before a TV show premieres. Actually, this happens all the time.
Sometimes the change can be as simple as changing punctuation. "That 70's Show" was changed to "That '70s Show." The short-lived "¡Rob!" became the more manageable "Rob."
Other times, title changes can be major. Here are a few that certainly changed the perceptions of the shows they were attached to:
"The Alley Cats" • "Charlie's Angels"
"Alpha Mom" • "Up All Night"
"Chicks and Dicks" • "New Girl"
"Damage Control" • "Scandal"
"Good Christian Bitches" • "GCB" (after a stop at "Good Christian Belles")
"Have Faith" • "The Soul Man"
"Head of the Family" • "The Dick Van Dyke Show"
"It's Messy" • "The Mindy Project"
"Insomnia Cafe" • "Friends" (after a stop at "Six of One"
"New Family In Town" • "Happy Days"
"Law & Order: Sex Crimes" • "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"
"Lenny, Penny and Kenny" • "The Big Bang Theory"
"Nothing But the Truth" • "To Tell the Truth"
"Nowhere" • "Lost"
"Oil" • "Dynasty"
"Parental Discretion Advised" • "Life Unexpected"
"Pop Idol" • "American Idol"
"The Rememberer" • "Unforgettable"
"Slayer" • "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
"Surgeons" • "Grey's Anatomy"
"Teenage Wasteland" • "That '70s Show."
"That Raymond Guy" • "Everybody Loves Raymond"
"Those Were the Days" • "All In the Family"
"Toast of the Town" • "The Ed Sullivan Show"
"The Whole Truth" • "The Good Wife"
Oh, and "Infamous," the new NBC drama set to premiere on Jan. 7 , is now titled "Deception."
Chicago Fire and "Chicago Fire"
When producer Dick Wolf ("Law & Order") set his new drama series about firefighters in Chicago, the show's title seemed obvious "Chicago Fire." He said he had no idea there was already a Major League Soccer team named the Chicago Fire he's just glad there wasn't a dispute over the title and that nobody at the Fire was upset.
"I hope that the title reflects well on all of us," Wolf said. "We hope that they're winning the championship."
There was no championship for the Fire this season, and "Chicago Fire" hasn't set the ratings on fire, either. It has been picked up for a full season, however, and is a candidate for a second season on NBC.

Some great games highlight this weekend's schedule. We're almost to the midway point of the 2012 regular season.
Duke enters the weekend 6-2 overall as they host the Hoyas in Durham on Saturday afternoon. Georgetown, 2-1, is coming off their first loss of the season at the hands of Florida on Wednesday evening. The Hoyas, the Big East's preseason No. 1, boast a talented young roster that has doubled up on the likes of Delaware and Villanova thus far in 2012. Heading into the weekend, Duke will look to find consistency against the young, talented Georgetown squad as their season has been a series of ups and downs.
The Blue Devils season has seemingly been a series of peaks and valleys in 2012. After defeating then-No. 2 Maryland, Duke almost dropped a pair of back-to-back games on the road in Princeton and Stony Brook. Struggling with injury in the midfield and a bit of inexperience on the defensive end, Duke has yet to put a full game together. The Hoyas will need to capitalize on their offensive opportunities as Duke is a team that has the ability to dominate 50/50 possessions. Emma Hamm, Kim Wenger and Taylor Virden create a draw control trio that is hard to top with the new rules this season. Georgetown must find an answer to this.
Coach Ricky Fried's utilization of midfield lines could be what keeps Georgetown in this game, as Duke likes to push the tempo. The Hoyas will need to slow Duke down in the transition game in addition to finding answers for both Emma Hamm and freshman phenom Kerrin Maurer (team-leading 28 points). If Duke hopes to put a full 60-minutes together, they will need to be patient on offense. Much of their ups and downs have come from sloppy play and rushed decisions.
Georgetown's game plan traditionally has been making teams play their game — Duke will need to get up early and capitalize on their opportunities so they do not fall into that trap.
Player To Watch: Sophia Thomas (Midfield, Jr.)
The 2011 Big East Midfielder of The Year has gotten off to a slow start in 2012, but led the team in goals, ground balls and caused turnovers a year ago.
The much anticipated Ivy League showdown comes early in the season, as both teams are just three games into their regular season schedule. All American Erin Brennan sits on top of Penn's leader board with 17 points already in 2012 whereas a number of scorers have led Harvard early on this season. What makes this game especially crucial is the depth that the overall conference boasts and the fact that only four teams make the year-end conference tournament. Harvard (0-1 Ivy) and Penn (0-0 Ivy) are among eight of teams that could win the tournament and the NCAA automatic bid during the Ivy League Tournament.
Harvard, already having dropped a game in conference to Cornell, will need to put together a strong outing against the perennial Ivy power this weekend. Their aggressive style of play and ability to compete for 50/50 possessions will be key in this game. Penn's attack is often less explosive as they tend to slow the game down to run their offensive sets. The Quaker defense traditionally is their strong point, often limiting team's offensive runs. Harvard's ability to score, especially in transition, could be what puts them on top. Danielle Tetreault, Jenn VanderMeulen, Melanie Baskind and Jess Halpern give Harvard the edge on offense, as the Crimson boast a more balanced attack. If Harvard comes out firing on all cylinders, they could dictate the pace of this one to a much faster one than Penn may like.
Player To Watch: Kelly Weiss (Goalkeeper, Fr.)
In addition to their offensive weapons, Harvard has a wealth of talent on the defensive end of the field. Weiss, a rookie goalkeeper, has been huge for Harvard and is playing like a veteran leader in just her first season for the Crimson.
Syracuse (2-2) has faced the likes of Boston College, Virginia, Northwestern and Florida thus far in 2012 as the Orange have steadily been climbing the ranks. Maryland, a team that returns All Americans in virtually every position, has dropped only one decision this season and is looking like a team poised for another championship run. In a game that features two of the most athletic lineups in the country, this will undoubtedly be an exciting matchup where possession will be key. Both teams boast a balanced attack, whereas Maryland takes the edge in the midfield. Defensively, both squads have had strong showings and each possess athletic two-way players with the ability to spark transition. All American and reigning National Goalie of The Year, Brittany Dipper, has struggled to find consistency early on as Syracuse sophomore Alyssa Constantino has seemingly won the goalie battle in upstate New York.
What this game could come down to is simply who plays the smarter game as both teams undoubtedly will be fired up. Most recently, Syracuse has been getting out of the gate early on opponents going on early runs. But, the Orange have experienced mental lapses at times. Turning the ball over 20 times in Florida almost cost them the game. Against the Terps, that could be especially dangerous. Limiting the turnovers will be key for 'Cuse in this one. Where Maryland could win this one is through the midfield. Schwarzmann, McPartland, Glaros and Griffin will all need to be accounted for by the Syracuse defensive midfield as the quartette has yet to be shut down in 2012. Karri Ellen Johnson leads an attack that has been just as lethal this season. The electrifying play top to bottom makes for an exciting game in College Park on Saturday.
Player To Watch: Katie Webster (Midfield, So.)
The explosive sophomore midfielder has been sensational for the Orange in 2012. A hat trick against Northwestern and the winning goal in Syracuse's 2OT thriller in Gainesville, Webster is a two-way middie who leads the Orange's midfield unit.

THE Government will soon pre-empt its May Budget by announcing a significant, single cut in spending which could see reductions in welfare payments or industry support.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard today will foreshadow the cuts and commit the savings to "key Labor priorities".
The Government, hit by shrinking revenue, is hunting for money to cover extra education funding and pay for further steps in creation of its National Disability Insurance Scheme.
"This year we will make the tough, necessary decisions to ensure our medium-term fiscal strategy is delivered, and our centrepiece plans for Australian children and Australians with disability are funded, in this new low-revenue environment," Ms Gillard is expected to tell the National Press Club.
She also will pledge to combat job insecurity, particularly in the manufacturing sector where hundreds of workers have been retrenched as the high Australian dollar makes our exports expensive.
And Ms Gillard will also confirm that in April she offer premiers more money for education in return for higher quality teaching and learning, new powers for principals, and new transparency on results.
The Prime Minister and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott will be making their first NPC addresses for the year this week with both hoping to set the issues and tone of the election campaign expected late in the year.
Ms Gillard will match Mr Abbott's "five pillar economy", announced at the weekend, with five of her own. She believes that while the Government can't direct rein in the Australian dollar, it could improve the prospects of local industry by improving competitiveness and economic diversity.
"So we can and must focus on increasing skills, building a national culture of innovation, rolling out the national broadband network, investing in infrastructure, improving regulation and leveraging our proximity to and knowledge of a rising Asia into a competitive advantage," her speech is expected to say.
The Government will release its Industry and Innovation Statement and respond to a taskforce report on manufacturing as part of its bid to make jobs more secure.
Ms Gillard said policies would involve "backing Australian firms to win work at home, win business abroad, and create new jobs and growth, above all through co-operative innovation, through firms and employees, researchers and governments all working smarter together".
Her speech will outline "substantial new structural savings that will maintain the sustainability of the Budget and make room for key Labor priorities".
"Our record of cutting wasteful programs, in line with our Labor values and purpose, is already strong," she is expected to say.
"The dependent spouse tax offset, the tax breaks for golden handshakes, tax concessions on super for high income earners, the millionaires dental scheme and fringe benefits loopholes for executives living away from home ... all gone.
"The private health insurance rebate is means-tested: something many said could never be achieved.
"This year we will make the tough, necessary decisions to ensure our medium-term fiscal strategy is delivered, and our centrepiece plans for Australian children and Australians with disability are funded, in this new low-revenue environment."
The Opposition wants the Prime Minister to provide more detail on the economy.
Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey said Ms Gillard should use the speech to "reveal the true state of the Budget" following the Government's retreat from guaranteeing a surplus for 2011-12.
And Mr Hockey suggested some questions to be put to the Prime Minister:
Will the Prime Minister explain to the Australian people how she intends to keep her promise of paying off net debt by 2020-2021 given that would require surpluses of almost $30 billion a year from 2016-2017?
How can (Treasurer) Wayne Swan and Julia Gillard claim to be lower taxing than the Howard Government when they have announced 27 new or increased taxes and when their total call on the community including taxes, borrowings and dividends - is the highest in recent times?
How can Wayne Swan and Julia Gillard talk about a decline in Government revenue when this year they are estimated to receive over $70 billion more revenue than the last Budget of the Howard Government?
Originally published as Gillard to announce big spending cut

According to the FAQ, I should be seeing updates weekly or sooner. Is that still the case?
I am running BT5R3-GNOME-VM-32 in VMware Workstation. I the past, I ran "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" once a week, and it always installed at least some updates. But with BT5R3, I haven't seen updates in weeks, perhaps months.
The upgrade just returns:
Code:root@bt:~# apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I believe there's stuff being added and updated in the repositories (per Redmine), but I'm not getting it. I have tried in NAT and bridged mode. The behavior is the same (no updates) with multiple VM instances. I even unzipped and ran a virgin VM to try it a couple of weeks ago. There was a large number of updates the first time, but none since. Is it possible that something has corrupted my /etc/apt/sources.list?
In NAT mode, I could understand if my host AV caused problems, but I normally use bridged, and I've tried it without the AV anyway.Code:deb http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing deb http://32.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing #deb http://source.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing deb http://updates.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing
I've searched the forums and Google, but I don't see anyone else having the same issue. Any assistance would be appreciated.
According to the FAQ, I should be seeing updates weekly or sooner. Is that still the case?
It looks like some stuff was checked in recently. But the updates don't match the activity in Redmine.
Is anyone's wireshark at version 1.8.3? Mine is still 1.8.1-bt7.
Please search before posting.
Thread: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad.php?t=53816
Have you...g0tmi1k?
Thanks g0tmi1k. Actually I'd been searching for a couple of months before I posted. Either I never used the right search terms, or I totally missed your actual response in that sea of irrelevant arguing about apt-get & aptitude.
So, that leaves the other two questions above...
Should the FAQ be changed to reflect the new lack of an update schedule, or is that likely something that will be remedied soon?
And since the Wireshark 1.8.3 update is closed, shouldn't my version have been updated by now? (It's still 1.8.1-bt7.)
Thanks again.
g0tmi1k, assuming you keep your BT5R3 up to date, what version of wireshark do you have? I tend to suspect that a problem that is unreported or barely reported is probably mine and not being experienced by everyone else. But it just seems so odd that I would be the only one in this case.
<dookie2000ca> i just did the final testing on wireshark so it'll be in the repo soon<g0tmi1k> I just thought as soon as its was "closed" its in the reops
<g0tmi1k> repos*
<g0tmi1k> I didn't know how it fully worked
<dookie2000ca> nah, that just means it's on its way<dookie2000ca> the repos are flushing as we speak(type)
I use the version of wireshark thats in the repos, unless they haven't updated it and there is a security issue. Then Ill compile from source.
Have you...g0tmi1k?

Beep, beep, honk, honk: A large contingent of Canada geese has been hanging out at Deception Pass State Park on Whidbey Island, leaving behind what geese will leave behind. State parks officials are now attempting to chase the geese off using several methods, including dogs and cutouts of coyotes.
Why just cutouts of coyotes? We know of a particular coyote who has a standing account with Acme Anvils, Cannon Balls and Giant Magnets who has years of experience in chasing birds.
Brought to you by the number 1 billion: "Sesame Street," the PBS children's program, is a mainstay on television, but it also reaches its fans by way of YouTube. Clips of "Sesame Street" and its Muppets and moppets will soon pass 1 billion views on the video-sharing website. It will celebrate with a special video when it reaches the mark normally reserved for pop stars, such as Justin Bieber.
Hmm. All this time and we thought Justin Bieber was a Muppet.
The sky is falling! The sky is falling! While astronomers were focused on a large asteroid passing within 17,000 miles of Earth on Friday, the heavens rattled nerves with a smaller but much louder meteorite that streaked across the Russian sky before exploding in the atmosphere and causing shockwaves that injured more than 1,000 people.
Having failed to train the meteorite on a flock of geese with giant magnets, Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius, went back to his Acme Drawing Board, Pat. Pend., and pondered.

Hi all,
Thought this new supplement pack for athlete fighters may be of interest.
vpacks for twitter.jpg
Fighter V-packs™ specially designed supplement packs with 30 day supply of 6 key ingredients to promote muscle and strength, fat loss, energy and endurance, improved mental performance.
There are loads of details and images on the site www.ectomuscle.co.uk
Bit of a shameless plug but as we specially designed it and release it 2 weeks ago for you guys so thought you would be interested.
The ingredient and why they work:
Once the first important part is addressed, exercise and diet are right (grass fed/free range, veg, low sugar and good fats plus lots of water) there are 6 key supplements we included and they are not what you think.
Most people are deficient in these which normally means you cannot naturally achieve your bodies optimum level of performance.
Multivitamin - primarily for detox purposes, we are exposed to radiation from computers and phones in modern life, also plastics, fabrics that actually cause chemicals to be stored in fatty tissue.
Omega 3 - recommended a 1.5g per % of body fat (10% = 15g of omega 3) split evenly between each meals (5 breachie, 5 lunch etc). Omega 3 is found in every cell in your body, Cavemen used to get huge amounts of omega 3 from grass fed (plus the soil was nutrient rich) plus often ate what was lying around which included left over animal brain which was also very high in omega 3 (although I wouldn't eat brain).
In proper dosages they also turn on the lipolytic genes (responsible for fat burning) and turn off the lipogenic gene (responsible for storing fat).
Plus they improve brain function as EPA regulates blood supply to your brain. DHA in the omega3 is important brain membranes, memory and cognitive function.
Vitamin D3 - - AKA the sunshine vitamin, apparently we need 15 minutes 3x4 times a week full body exposure for our body to be able to produce this in the body, sunscreen, sunglasses or any clothing inhibits the bodies ability. So most people are deficient. Vit D deficiency causes muscle weakness. Tests showed that optimum levels of D3 demonstrated significant improvement in performance speed, and muscle strength.
Lipoic Acid - Also found in every cell in the body. It is a short chain fatty acid produced in the liver. Supports detoxing chemicals, improves energy levels, faster lean muscle mass gains, improved insulin sensitivity, increased fat loss. Taken with L'carnitine they will improve insulin sensitivity and priming the androgen receptors, creating a better muscle building, fat burning environment.
L-Carnitine - imrpoves blood flow to muscle tissues, greater oxygen ability, resulting in less damage from training and faster recovery. Best results were demonstrated when taking with Lipoic acid and Omega3.
Zinc and Magnesium - Our bodies cannot actually store zinc so most people are deficient even if they have good diets. Zinc is also found in every tissue in the body and is directly involved in cell division. Low zinc means low testosterone, it is vital for you best energy levels, and body composition. Plus can act as a sleep aid.
Most of the deficiencies are due to modern living and our bodies having not evolved to cope with being indoors, exposure to radiation, pesticides and chemicals or less active lifestyles. The combination here is how people actually loose fat and gain muscle at the same time, it creates the optimum environment for your body to gain lean muscle and loose fat.
Hope that was helpful, diet and exercise are the key supplements are the extra 10% which does make a noticable difference but only if everything else is right. No supplement will help with lack of training, poor diet or lack of effort. Be great to hear what you all think.

For those of you that haven't been following the career of one or both of these guys, they both came through the ranks of the WCMMA show and are now doing well at pro level.
Ben McGonigle fights out of Titan Forge independent fight team and is now 4-0 having defeated Ian Peters twice, Dom Clark and Dan Eli, which on paper are tough fights.
Chase Morton fights out of The Combat Company alongside the like of Nathan Jones and is currently 2-1 having defeated Colin Wilby in his pro debut, losing to Ben Craggy in his second and most recently winning at CSFC 4 in Guildford.
These guys are relatively unknown nationwide, i know, but they take tough fights as you can see from their records, and i believe that deserves praise in the current state of UKMMA. This will be a great fight.

Former police officer asked to pay postage cost for his own P45
2:34pm Wednesday 4th June 2014
2:34pm Wednesday 4th June 2014
A whistleblowing former police officer had insult added to injury when he was asked to pay the postage cost for his own P45.
PC James Patrick, who lives in the Colchester area, resigned from the Metropolitan Police in March after telling MPs the force was manipulating crime figures.
He revealed this week the Met had posted his P45 without a stamp, leaving him with an unwelcome bill for £1.53.
He said: "I was quite philosophical - I swore at first then laughed.
"I've sent them an invoice for £1.53, plus the cost of my own stamp and the cost of an hour of my own time at a consultancy rate."
A Metropolitan Police spokesman believed the error had been caused by the automatic franking machine which processes mail.
He added: "Whilst it is unusual for post to be mailed without being franked, it does happen occasionally.
"The recipient in this case will be reimbursed directly this week."

Ok I was testing with my router ..
What I mean that my laptop and iphone was communicating through the router but obviously on the road you need an adhoc network. For some strange reason I could not get Wicd to assign the ip address to my laptop (basically I was unable to create a functioning ad-hoc network). But the following script works fine:
I reason I had assigned id address 169.254.251.30 because the ad-hoc ip addresses iphone assigns is in the range of 169.254.0.0 onwards...Code:#!/bin/bash #starts the ad hoc server ifconfig wlan0 down iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc iwconfig wlan0 channel 4 iwconfig wlan0 essid 'kismet' ifconfig wlan0 169.254.251.30 up
This is dirty but works..
But still looking for the solution to feed this gps data to kismet for war driving..
Just to show that I am getting this gps feed in my laptop...
It is from my laptop to kismet.. that's where I am having issues..
cheers all..

Words by Kevin Duffel, photography by Johnny Oliver
Making his mark as one of the original Z-Boys and then moving on to start Powell-Peralta in '78, Stacy Peralta is a walking encyclopedia of skateboard history. Now a Hollywood filmmaker, he's applying that same knowledge to full-length documentaries. Starting his career with 2001's Dogtown And Z-Boys, and getting ready to release the story behind the Bones Brigade for the silver screen, Stacy's proving to be one of skateboarding's most gifted storytellers. The film, titled The Bones Brigade: An Autobiography, premieres in Santa Barbara tonight, so check back in for the post-premiere wrap up post. But for now, enjoy the extended interview with Stacy that ran in our 30th Anniversary Issue.
You've had a few major documentaries out. When did you start shifting your focus from skateboarding to filmmaking?
It happened kind of at the time I was making skateboard videos. After I made Future Primitive I started getting opportunities in Hollywood to work as what's called a second unit director. Second unit directors are typically cast to direct the action of a regular motion picture. And so at the time I worked on about four movies while I was still in skateboarding, and it just kinda led me to believe that there were opportunities in this field to go into. That was the start of it right there.
Why documentaries?
I think it's primarily because that's what I'm interested in. I read books all the time, but what I primarily read is nonfiction. I don't read much fiction, and although I like fiction movies, it's making documentaries that really gets me. Typically the films I make are things that are either bothering me, or they're subjects I wanna understand more about, or they're subjects I just feel are worthy of a story. And so it allows me to apply what I began with making skateboard videos, and just apply that to a bigger canvas.
From Spike Jonze to Jason Lee, a few skaters have branched out into the film industry. Are there any similarities between skateboarding and filmmaking? Why do you think you guys gravitate towards film?
You know, your question right now is onto a subject that has intrigued me for many, many years. And first of all, before I even answer your question, I have to kinda go down this road with you. It's really interesting to look at how many influential people have come out of skateboarding, whether in the arts or in filmmaking. I don't see it in any other sport. Why skateboarding, I can only assume is because it's such a liberal-minded thing. If you're going to skateboard, you have to keep a very open mind, because everything you're doing is eventually going to be closed down on you. We're taught to adapt, because our terrain is constantly changing and getting taken out from under us. You're also doing this thing that's semi-illegal everywhere you do it. I don't know if that's the reason why, but I've really thought about this. I don't want to speak for you, but I can say I don't know where I would be if it weren't for skateboarding. Just about everything good in my life has come out of this sport.
"I don't want to speak for you, but I can say I don't know where I would be if it weren't for skateboarding."
You got a lot of attention for Dogtown And Z-Boys, winning audience and best director awards at Sundance in 2001, and basically brought about a whole new generation of kids interested in old school skating. Why do you think that film resonated so much with the audience?
If in fact it resonated with the audience, I think part of it has to do with the fact that we may have reached the pinnacle of the age of extreme. How much higher can we go? How much faster can we go? How many more flips can we do? And I think a lot of people were thinking, "You know, this just isn't fun anymore." And maybe they were looking back, thinking they wanted to do what was fun. And if you strip all the accomplishments off of skateboarding, and all the technicalities off of skateboarding, the fact remains that ultimately it's just fun to roll down a hill. I mean, that's what grabbed everyone in the beginning, and a lot of people have taken it further than that of course, and it's great that they did, but when it comes down to it, it's that feeling you get in your gut when you just roll down a hill. And of course Dogtown showed that, because back then that was really all we could do. We didn't have the equipment to do anything further. And there's a freedom to it. There's a real simplicity to it that I think a lot of people find appealing. But did that really happen?
Yeah, I really think so. A lot of people I've talked to—who don't necessarily skate seriously—grabbed skateboards after watching that film.
Oh man, that's amazing. Well, after that film came out, I went to one of my local skateboard shops, and they told me that film was resulting in a lot of middle aged guys breaking their wrists. All these middle aged guys saw the film and decided they had to get back into skateboarding. Which they did, but they were also breaking themselves up as well, which I found that kinda funny.
You're releasing a documentary about the Bones Brigade right now. Why focus on them, and why now?
Well, to be honest, I never felt it was right for me to make the film. And I kept thinking that someone else would come along and make it. But nobody did. It's something the guys asked me to do about eight years ago, and I was reluctant at the time to do it. But over the years we kept talking about it, and finally a year and a half ago, Lance Mountain called me and said, "Look, we really want to do this. We're now older than you and Tony Alva were when you made Dogtown." When he said that, I realized, "Okay now we have to do this, because it should be done now and it shouldn't be done when they're a lot older." So that's how it all happened and came to be. I was able to scrounge up the money and everyone was really eager to do it. It was an incredible experience to sit everyone down and walk through that decade again.
"Lance Mountain called me and said, 'Look, we really want to do this. We're now older than you and Tony Alva were when you made Dogtown.'"
Do you feel that it's just as impactful as the Z-Boy era?
What's interesting is that it's much different. The Dogtown film was much more about a group. This film is much more about the interior of each of the guys on the team, and what they were going through, and the struggles they were going through. If you look at the two teams—one could be construed as being a team made up of a community, you know, neighboring kids. Whereas the Bones Brigade was made up of a team of skateboarders that lived all over the country—they didn't come from the same community. And they also weren't what you would call the cool kids. In fact, some of them borderlined on being kind of nerdy. So it was a really unusual collection of skateboarders. And they were put together at a very young age, like 13 years of age when they weren't anybody—none of them had names when they got on the team. So it's a different dynamic and the film unfolds in a much different way. Which I'm really glad about, because had it felt like Dogtown, I would've failed immeasurably.
Since you've been with skateboarding since the very beginning, what year or era do you feel like is the greatest?
You know, that's hard to say, and I don't want to say what's the best, because right now could be the best. Well, it's weird, because I skateboarded through both of those decades. One of them I was a skateboarder and it was all about me and my experience. The other one was all about their experiences and making their experiences as good as it could be, with the Bones Brigade. I got a taste of both worlds, and I couldn't live without both of them. I can't say which one is better because they're so different. The '70s decade with the Zephyr team was where my identity as a human being formed; I'll take that for the rest of my life. With the Bones Brigade, that was my opportunity to take what I had as a professional skateboarder, and then take that dream and create something else. So they both are incredible touchstones for my life. The only thing I will say about the '80s is that for me, they lasted longer. You know, our time in the '70s was three years. I was a professional skateboarder for three years and it was over after that. For the '80s it lasted a solid 10 years, so it gave everyone the opportunity to really live the life. Then when I left, it continued into the '90s, and of course it continues on through today. The one thing I will say that was a surprise, is that when I started to unravel the Bones Brigade story, I didn't realize how many obstacles there were in skateboarding history in the '80s. It looked like the sport was going to die. I think eventually there were two skateparks left in the United States. And it finally got down to one. It really looked like things were not going to turn around, so many of us who remained in the business wondered if we were just fooling ourselves. But that led to the whole backyard ramp series and contests, so it was a real vibrant decade of going back to the roots and reinventing the sport.
And that's when street skating came about as well. So there was a very lot going on in that period.
Yup. And the great thing about street skating is we as a manufacturer saw the possibility and potential for it, and we started pushing it because we thought that if we pushed this, it may give the opportunity for more people to skate, because so few people could actually make ramps. So we took a gamble, thinking that if we held [street] contests, maybe it would turn into something. And so we did, but a lot of professional skateboarders at the time thought what we were doing was wrong. Like Lance Mountain said, "This is the stuff that we do on the way to the skatepark. We're not supposed to be having contests doing this stuff." But in fact, street style was a form that wanted to be brought to life. It just needed a midwife to get it there. As it started to pick up, I had suggested to Rodney [Mullen] that he start street skating. And at the time, he said no, and I can't tell you how bad I felt even mentioning that to him. I felt like I was asking Picasso to go from being a painter to start working with lead pencils. I just felt so bad about it, but felt so gratified to know that later on he eventually did that.
"I felt like I was asking Picasso to go from being a painter to start working with lead pencils."
When you formed the Bones Brigade back in the '80s did you have any idea those guys would become the legends they now are?
I had no idea that their career spans would ever last anything near this long. Because I was still living in the past in my own decade, thinking careers only lasted three years. When those guys made it to five years, and then to seven years, and the 10 years, it was a complete surprise to me. But never did I think they'd be skating in their forties and making a living from it, ever. So what's interesting about this whole thing is my life has been lived through the history of skateboarding. And every year that skateboarding grows, it morphs into something that none of us ever thought it could become. I mean, if a kid plays football today, he has 100 years behind him to understand this game. We have about 30, so we're still in its infancy.
That said, did you ever think that skateboarding itself would become what it has?
Never. I didn't. Clearly I believed in it because I staked my life on it. It's what I did for 20 or 30 years, but I never thought it would get to be this mainstream. I just didn't have the capacity to understand what it was capable of being outside of what we were doing. But I will say the thing that is most gratifying to me about skateboarding is what it's doing to the inner-city kids. It gives them an alternative to gang life. Because they're so surrounded by—they're so deep in concrete—they can really do something with their athletic ability, and all they need is a skateboard. They don't need a basketball court or a football field. They just need a board with some wheels under their feet.
Looking back, your first full-length documentary was about the Z-Boys, and now you're releasing one about the Bones Brigade. Do you think you're going to continue to document the state of skateboarding for years to come? Maybe one on EMB in 10 more years?
You know, I never even thought I'd do this. It's a good question. I don't have any plans on doing it, but I didn't have any plans on doing this. The road keeps changing in front of me, so I guess I'm gonna just keep following it.
Well the future generations will always need the real documented history laid out for them, so it'll always be around for you.
Well, I'll tell you what is interesting about it, is when I made Dogtown, Tony Hawk said one of the most interesting comments to me. He said, "I had no idea of my own history, and this film put together so many of the dots for me." I think the Bones Brigade film is going to do the same thing for a lot of skateboarders all over the world. And I think being the fact that we are still living in a young sport's life, it's important that we understand our history and we understand where things come from, and what people were doing and feeling and thinking at the time they were doing it. So it's a rewarding thing to do this for me, to be a part of it, because it's just another contribution to the mix.
What would you tell all other aspiring filmmakers out there? Just go for it?
Always make films that are interesting to you, that either you're searching for an answer, or that you just want to see yourself. The only films I make are films I want to see myself. They're films that I haven't seen that I want to see. And that's what I tell other filmmakers. Don't chase the money, chase the interest.

In LA: http://goo.gl/maps/WZ0id (basically mid-Wilshire, West Hollywood, parts of Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silverlake)
In the Valley: http://goo.gl/maps/QYaaV (basically Studio City, Toluca Lake, Burbank, parts of North Hollywood, Valley Village, Sherman Oaks)
There's actors who live outside these boundaries obviously, but if you're new to town, these are your best bets.
Outside of these boundaries it's either too far (west side - too much traffic to get in/out), too expensive (west side, hancock park, hollywood hills), too sketch (parts of Hollywood), too ethnic for newcomers (Koreatown), or too patchy (some streets are good but some are bad, but you need to be local here to know - Echo Park, Hollywood, further north in the valley)
|Sean Penn
I appreciate the links, good info donquixote, thanks man.
|Sean Penn
It depends entirely on the person.
For anyone who is willing to answer - which is the more walkable neighborhood (many errands can be done on foot): Los Feliz, or West Hollywood? Do they have drastically different "vibes"? I'd appreciate any and all additional insight! This thread is fantastic.
|Sean Penn
Weho is a broader area. Weho encompasses de facto Beverly Hills type situations, wasteland stretches of Santa Monica, uber gay town, places that are basically just Hollywood, etc. Overall Weho is more upscale, more central, more strip-mally in parts, more trafficked. It's nice. Some of the streets and homes are spiffy. You can walk it and you may pay slightly more per amenities but it's good times.
Los Feliz is essentially Hollywood Blvd and Franklin between Western and say just past Hillhurst. If you live near Hillhurst and Vermont those are great walking/eating/drinking areas. Also, you're very close to Griffith Park. It's kind of entry-level normal-kid area. Also it's halfway between downtown and west hollywood, close to I-5 and the 101, and 10-15 minutes to the 10. Weho is more landlocked. But then again you're fairly close to whatever.
Thank you so much, arrowhead! Good to know!
Feel free to shirk this next question off to someone else, but is there a particular street/area in West Hollywood with lots of apartments, or are they all sort of scattered about? Are there parts of Hollywood proper that you would recommend? I would very much love to feel "central," as you put it!
Again, thanks so much for any information! Each post so far has been extremely helpful.
|Sean Penn
Just come down, don't worry, have some extra $1,000's in the bank, get a sublet or hotel for a few days or a week and do a lot of exploring. Might as well blow the $60 or whatever it is for westsiderentals too. May I stress, don't stress.
In weho a decent studio can be had for $950+ I'd say, you can get a two-bdrm roomate for $850+ each. In LF the prices are comparable, maybe $50-$150 less depending on amenities. Any less than that and you are missing something: modern fixtures, parking, area desirability, etc.
You may be tempted to sign a lease on the first few you see. Give yourself plenty of time and space to decide... it's easier to stay put than it is to move in 6-12 months.
Wonderful, kind advice! Thanks!!
K-Town is not the ghetto you are imagining. I've lived here for a few months and have never been robbed or had my car broken into. Sure, it's not as nice as Santa Monica, but it is affordable. It's centrally located, close to the freeways and not full of tourists (which I love). Parking can be tricky between the hours of 6 and 10. The reason for this is that there are a lot of popular restaurants here and people come in from other neighborhoods to eat the food here during these hours.
|Jack Nicholson
Plus one for K Town. It's definitely more urban if you like that vibe.
|Morgan Freeman
There are pros/cons to every neighbourhood here. You really just have to figure out what you want - close to metro, freeways, grocery stores? Is it important to be able to walk to a coffee shop? Do you need parking? Do you want to have a local haunt close by? Do you like to be in a quieter spot? Away from the hustle and bustle? Do you want to be close to the studios? Do you need the beach nearby? There are so many options, and great options in all of the neighbourhoods and everyone has an opinion on them all.

To give a completely subjective YMMV reply to Mey's query about areas with a lot of apartments, I'd throw out these very basic parameters if you are planning on driving or walking up and down streets in "walkability" areas that are somewhere between overpriced and borderline sketch ...
West of Fuller
East of Fairfax
North of Melrose
South of Fountain (arguably south of Sunset but I think the closer to Sunset you get, the slightly noisier and harder to street park it gets
Again, YMMV, but that's a largely residential, walkable, friendly, reasonably safe, not totally unaffordable sector. There are some single fams (especially off Melrose) but a lot of apartment buildings, from the old bungalow-style communities to the slightly more modern moderate high rise types (especially on Sierra Bonita).
Some have gated parking (you'll pay a little more but if you have a car it may be worth it) but neighborhood parking permits are affordable in WeHo and convenient street parking isn't as impossible as some people make it out to be.
Oh my - thanks a lot everyone.
I am moving to LA in November - it is very useful to read all your feedback. See ya'll at the movies.
|Johnny Depp
How common is it for actors to live in a real suburb of LA - say a place like Corona, Riverside, Irvine, Santa Ana, etc? Or even a place like North Valley? I have no real knowledge of these area, especially North Valley.
Although it'd be great, I don't presume I'd be super busy with auditions my first lease term so I'm curious if it would be manageable to live that far outside of the city to save some initial money.
I have an 85 lb dog that will be living with me and those listed towns provide way more options for my price range and availability (obviously).
It's rare from what I've seen. Some do it, but I think you'd be putting yourself at a big disadvantage. You don't want to be driving 50+ miles to go to an audition, that would be a nightmare especially if there's traffic. Plus you'd have to drive out if you're getting any coaching or taking classes too.

Just stick with Nessus. You are obviously nowhere near qualified to do a penetration test, so a vulnerability/risk assessment is all you should do.
i need your help, i would like to make audit in our Network, and i wish to do pen test on some server windows and unix or linux OS and other equipements like Cisco Router and switch
could you please help what i can do that ? i know i can use Nmap for test port and nessus for unix but is there any other tools like LANGFI ? what is the free tool can help me to do auditing for our Cisco swhtch and router ?
and anyone can let me know how i can use metsploit for get system linux or hpunix without root user ?
Best Regard & thank you advance
Just stick with Nessus. You are obviously nowhere near qualified to do a penetration test, so a vulnerability/risk assessment is all you should do.
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
Trying to learn to perform security testing by playing around with Backtrack is fine, but you shouldn't be doing it professionally until you are much more experienced. As a hint, if you have to ask "How do I perform a penetration test", in those or similar words, you are not ready to do it. Nor are you ready if you don't know what to do after running nmap to identify open ports. There is more to it than just learning how to use Metasploit and following a few tutorials.
Trying to perform Penetration Testing with only basic computer knowledge is like trying to do someones taxes after only learning basic addition, or like trying a court case after watching an episode of Matlock.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.

In order for the energy in a car's fuel to be converted, there is a need for transmission systems and control mechanisms to operate them, is because energy entering a system from the outside is not enough to make that system an ordered, efficient one.
The term "open system" refers to a thermodynamic system with an external energy source, into which matter enters and departs. Since the theory of evolution conflicts with the Second Law of Thermodynamics (the Law of Entropy), evolutionists maintain that this entropy applies only to closed systems. They resort to a deception, maintaining that open systems lie outside this law. They suggest, further, that the Earth's biosphere is an open system, being exposed to a constant flow of energy from the Sun; and that therefore, the Law of Entropy does not apply to the Earth, and that ordered, complex living things can indeed emerge from disordered, simple and inanimate structures.
Yet there is a very clear distortion of the facts here, because energy entering a system from outside is not sufficient to make that system into an ordered one. To make that energy capable of being used, special mechanisms are needed. For example, control mechanisms, an engine and transmission systems are needed to harness the energy generated from the fuel in an internal combustion engine. In the absence of such transformation systems, it will be impossible to use that fuel's energy.
The same applies to living things, which receive their energy from the Sun. This solar energy is turned into chemical energy thanks to extraordinarily complex energy-conversion systems such as photosynthesis in plants and the digestive systems in animals and human beings. In the absence of any of these conversion systems, no organism can survive. For a living thing with no energy-conversion system, the Sun will be simply a source of destructive heat and UV radiation.
Therefore, any system without an energy-conversion system be it open or closed, will offer no advantage for evolution. No one claims that any such complex and conscious mechanism existed in the conditions of the primeval Earth. At this point, evolutionists cannot account for how complex energy conversion systems, such as photosynthesis, which even modern technology cannot reproduce - emerged in the first place.
Whatever solar energy reached the primeval Earth had no way of giving rise to order. For one thing, the higher the temperature rises, the more amino acids-the building blocks of life-resist forming bonds in regular sequences. Energy alone is not sufficient for amino acids to form the far more complex molecules of proteins, and for proteins to give rise to cell organelles, which are more complex still. This manifest order is only possible through our omniscient Lord's creation.
In fact, many evolutionists openly admit that the claim about open systems is invalid and that it conflicts with thermodynamics. Although Professor John Ross of Harvard University holds evolutionist views, he writes in a paper in Chemical and Engineering News that this claim is unrealistic and unscientific:
. . . there are no known violations of the second law of thermodynamics. Ordinarily, the second law is stated for isolated systems, but the second law applies equally well to open systems. . . . there is somehow associated with the field of far-from-equilibrium phenomena the notion that the second law of thermodynamics fails for such systems. It is important to make sure that this error does not perpetuate itself.78

text: OverviewBack to top Muscletech Products - Nitro-Tech Performance Series Whey Isolate Strawberry - 4 lbs. Item# :119777UPC# :631656703306 Brand:Muscletech Products Size/Form:4 lbs. Ship Weight:4.60 Servings:50 Dosage:1 Scoop(s) Flavor:Strawberry Muscletech Products - Nitro Tech Performance Series Whey Isolate Strawberry - 4 lbs. (1.8 kg) Muscletech Products Performance Series Nitro Tech Whey Isolate is an ultra-pure whey isolate primary source that is enhanced with creatine and aminos and superior to other whey protein formulas. NITRO-TECH is a scientifically engineered whey isolate+ lean musclebuilder formula designed for all athletes who are looking for more muscle, more strength and better performance. NITRO-TECH contains protein sourced primarily from whey protein isolate and is also enhanced with the most studied form of creatine for faster gains in muscle and strength. WHEY ISOLATE + LEAN MUSCLEBUILDERIf you're serious about performance and results, you need the ALL NEW MuscleTech Performance Series! NO Proprietary Blends NO Fillers NO Underdosed Key Ingredients NO Hype NO Banned Substances (WADA) NO Exceptions The Most Powerful Protein Formula Ever DevelopedNITRO-TECH contains protein sourced primarily from whey protein isolate – one of the cleanest and purest protein sources available to athletes. Other whey protein supplements might have only a few grams of this highly bioavailable and easily digested protein. NITRO-TECH is also enhanced with the most studied form of creatine for faster gains in muscle and strength. Build More Lean Muscle Than Regular Whey ProteinResearch conducted and published in a scientific journal shows that subjects using the core formula in NITRO-TECH gained 8.8 lbs. of lean muscle in six weeks compared to subjects who used regular whey protein, who gained 5.1 lbs. Rapid Post-Workout Amino Acid DeliveryIn addition to its key musclebuilding ingredients, NITRO-TECH is the first protein to contain all three key free-form amino acids (alanine, glycine and taurine) and is designed to deliver essential amino acids and proteinogenic (protein building) amino acids that are quickly digested and absorbed by your bloodstream – aiding in muscle cell repair and growth and helping to make NITRO-TECH the perfect choice for rapid post-workout amino acid delivery. Alanine is the second-most widely used amino acid in protein synthesis, after leucine, and is the primary amino acid for the production of usable glucose during intense training. Experts believe that supplementing with alanine post-workout can help combat muscle breakdown and promote protein synthesis. Glycine is an amino acid which has been noted to play a role in the formation of many other biological compounds in the body, such as proteins and creatine, and even supports cell volumization. Taurine is the second-most abundant amino acid found in muscle and aids in cell volumization. Build More Strength Than Regular Whey ProteinEach scoop of NITRO-TECH contains a research-proven dose (3 grams) of creatine monohydrate. Combined in NITRO-TECH, whey protein and creatine build more strength than regular whey protein. In one study, subjects using the whey/creatine combination in NITRO-TECH increased their one-rep max bench press by 34 pounds, compared to only 14 pounds for subjects using regular whey protein. MuscleTech Products Nitro Tech Frequently Asked Questions How is NITRO-TECH better than regular whey protein supplements?NITRO-TECH is an ideal choice for elite athletes trying to maintain a high-protein diet. In fact, one study shows its core ingredients are better than whey protein alone for musclebuilding and strength increases.The scientifically advanced formula has been designed by industry-leading researchers to surpass the musclebuilding capabilities of whey protein. It contains a powerful musclebuilding driver that builds muscle and increases strength! What else makes NITRO-TECH so great?A single scoop of NITRO-TECH contains 30 grams of protein, primarily from whey protein isolate. It also contains ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate and hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, with no more than 1 gram of carbs and 1.5 grams of fat! Most protein powders deliver significantly less protein per scoop, while some protein formulas are loaded with fat and carbs. The Nitro-Tech Advantage Ingredient Nitro-Tech Main Competition Protein 30 g per Scoop 22 g Protein Quality Protein Sourced Primarilyfrom Whey Protein Isolate Whey Protein Concentrate,Milk Protein Isolate, CalciumCaseinate, Egg Albumen Carbs 1 g As High as 15 g Fat 1.5 g As High as 6 g Creatine 3 g 0 g Alanine 2 g (including free form) None Added Glycine 1 g (including free form) None Added Taurine 1 g None Added A remarkable technology driving the purity of the whey protein in NITRO-TECH is its Multi-Phase Filtration Technology. Through multiple phases, this technology is designed to enhance the purity of the whey protein in NITRO-TECH by reducing fat, lactose and impurities. NITRO-TECH contains the key free-form amino acids alanine, glycine and taurine and is designed to deliver essential amino acids and proteinogenic (protein building) amino acids that are quickly digested and absorbed. Can NITRO-TECH really build muscle and increase strength in just weeks?Absolutely. In a six-week collaborative, double-blind study, 36 test subjects with at least three years of weight-training experience were selected to be part of a comparative musclebuilding investigation. Test subjects using the core ingredients in NITRO-TECH packed on 73 percent more muscle than subjects using whey protein (8.8 vs. 5.1 lbs.). The same study showed that subjects increased their strength on max bench by more than double compared to whey protein users (34 vs. 14 lbs.). How do I take NITRO-TECH?Mix 1 to 2 servings (1 to 2 scoops) with 4 to 8 oz. of cold water or skim milk in a glass or shaker cup. Use between major meals and after exercise. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water daily. For maximum results, consume 4 scoops of NITRO-TECH daily for a minimum of six weeks. Ultra-Clean Protein FormulaA single scoop of NITRO-TECH contains 30 grams of protein, primarily from whey protein isolate, ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate and hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, with only 1 gram of carbs and 1.5 grams of fat! Most protein powders deliver significantly less protein per scoop while some protein formulas are loaded with fat and carbs. The whey protein in NITRO-TECH has been filtered using Multi-Phase Filtration Technology for less fat, lactose and impurities than cheaper protein sources. Best-In-Class TasteEvery flavor of NITRO-TECH won in head-to-head third-party taste tests against leading competitors. Get More for Your MoneyUnlike the competition, Performance Series products contain superior key ingredients in clinically dosed amounts that are fully disclosed so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Three-Time Female Vocalist of the Year, Claire Lynch and her band will take the stage at Francis Marion University's Performing Arts Center on Friday, Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m.
Lynch has long been recognized as a creative force in acoustic music and at the forefront of women who have expanded the bluegrass genre. She has now earned The International Bluegrass Music Association's "Female Vocalist of the Year" title three times, as well as two GRAMMY nominations. "Dear Sister," her new album was nominated for 2013 Album of the Year and showcases Lynch and her razor sharp band (Mark Schatz – bass, Matt Wingate – guitar, mandolin, Bryan McDowell – fiddle, mandolin) on a rock-solid, 10-song set of bluegrass, folk and Americana cuts.
Standouts include "Doin' Time" (with Tim O'Brien on vocals and bouzouki), the title track "Dear Sister"—an anthemic ballad of the Civil War written by Lynch and Louisa Branscomb that is based on recently discovered historic letters written by a relative of Louisa's —and the Pierce Pettis-penned "That Kind of Love." The songs constitute what is possibly Claire's most personal record to date and certainly one of the most broadly accessible albums of her career.
Lynch was recently awarded one of the 50 USA Fellowships from United States Artists. With only seven awards going to musicians this year, the 2012 USA Fellows represent the most innovative and influential artists in their fields - including cutting-edge thinkers and traditional practitioners from the fields of architecture and design, crafts and traditional arts, dance, literature, media, music, theater arts and visual arts.
As a songwriter of inventive and evocative Music Row fare, her songs have been recorded by Kathy Mattea, Patty Loveless, and others, and she has performed as a backing/harmony vocalist with Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and Pam Tillis -- just to name a few.
The cost of the concert is $25. For tickets to the Nov. 15 concert, contact the Performing Arts box office at 843-661-4444, or online at www.fmupac.org.
