You can download Jetty as a distribution bundle, a Maven dependency, an OSGi bundle, or install it via a Debian/RPM distribution. When you download and unpack the binary, it is extracted into a directory called jetty-distribution-VERSION. Put this directory into a convenient location. The rest of the instructions in this wiki will refer to this location as either JETTY_HOME or as $(jetty.home).

The maté is the popular beverage of the country, as it is of nearly the whole of South America.
Tobacco and maté are the only export crops, and they have but little value.
Sometimes tea at four, but very seldom; supper consisted of an asado and maté at seven or eight o'clock.
maté can bear a cost of transport that would be fatal to timber.
While in that country I frequently joined in the social rounds at maté, and finally rejoiced in a bombelia of my own.
The maté is prepared by drying and roasting the leaves, which are then reduced to a powder and made into packages.
They waited for their turn at maté, or ate great chunks of meat from a roast cooked upon a spit, over a fire of bones.
Beside the obraje in the forest there is the yerbal, a works for dealing with the maté (Ilex paraguayensis).
Agricultural colonization in turn will react upon the forestry industry in developing the cultivation of maté.
The maté of commerce has a stimulant principle identical with that of tea and coffee, which is the only reason for its use.
"associate, fellow, comrade," mid-14c., also "companion" (late 14c.), from Middle Low German mate, gemate "one eating at the same table, messmate," from Proto-Germanic *ga-maton "having food (*matiz) together (*ga-)," which is etymologically identical with companion. Cognate with Danish and Swedish mat, German Maat "mate," Dutch maat, from German. Meaning "one of a wedded pair" is attested from 1540s. Used as a form of address by sailors, laborers, etc., since at least mid-15c. Meaning "officer on a merchant vessel is from late 15c.
in chess, "a condition of checkmate," c.1300, mat, from Middle French mat, from Old French mater (see mate (v.2)).
c.1500, "to equal, rival," 1590s as "to match, couple, marry, join in marriage," from mate (n.1). Also, of animals, "to pair for the purpose of breeding." Related: Mated; mating.
"checkmate," c.1300, from Old French mater "to checkmate, defeat, overcome," from mat "checkmated" (see checkmate (v.)).
mate 1 (māt)
A spouse.
Either of a pair of animals or birds that associate in order to propagate.
Either of a pair of animals brought together for breeding.
To become joined in marriage.
To be paired for reproducing; breed.
To copulate.
A friend of the same sex; a friend or companion: Give me a hand, mate (1380+)

Hey all, I just upgraded the circuit in my uDAC to that of the uDAC2. All is working well, but I've noticed that when I start a song in Foobar2000, the first second of the song is silence - although the visualizations show that the song is playing and registers the signal, the actual sound doesn't cut in until 0:02 on most songs. I've trying to modify the settings on playback and output configuration but haven't had any success so far.
I should note that this occurs only in Foobar2000 - when I play a song from my browser on the Zune program, everything is normal.
Any advice/remedies?

Atlantis Plastics plant in Henderson where an employee shot and killed four people at the Atlantis Plastics plant in Henderson before killing himself early Wednesday, according to Henderson police Lt. David Piller. In addition to the four deaths, Piller said two others, who were injured, were flown to hospitals in Evansville.
HENDERSON, Ky. An employee got into an argument with a supervisor early Wednesday, then shot and killed four people at a western Kentucky plastics plant before killing himself, police said.
The shooting happened at Atlantis Plastics in this Ohio River town of about 28,000 people.
Henderson police Lt. David Piller said two others were injured and flown to hospitals in Evansville, Ind. At least one was in critical condition.
The employee used a handgun he retrieved during a break, Piller said.
The shooting victims were scattered around the plant, Piller said.
It appears the shooting was random at this time, Piller said.
Police did not say if the supervisor the employee argued with was among the victims.
A woman who answered the phone at a number for Atlantis Plastics declined to give her name and would only say that the company would not comment until a 3 p.m.
news conference. The company s Web site said it is based in Atlanta, Ga.
Names of those involved in the shooting have not been released.
Rita Quinonez, a supervisor at Deaconnes Hospital in Evansville, Ind., said they have received one of the injured employees, who was listed in critical condition. She would not say if the patient was male or female.
Hours after the shooting, police had set up a roadblock on the street leading to the plant, which is in an industrial area on the southern side of Henderson.
Other employees at the plant were sent home.
In a news release on the company s Web site, Atlantis Plastics said it is a leading U.S. manufacturer of three kinds of products: polyethylene stretch films for wrapping pallets of materials, custom films for industrial and packaging uses, and molded plastic pieces used in products such as appliances and recreational vehicles.
The company has 700 employees, including 200 in Henderson, and annual sales of $110 million, according to business directory Hoovers.

Patriot missiles in Turkey: Targeting Syria or Iran? (Op-Ed)
What prompted this new crisis (and evoked a distinct feeling of Cold War déjà vu) was Ankara's appeal to NATO to deploy its Patriot missiles in the southern Turkish provinces, along the 900-km-long border with Syria. While described as a purely defensive move, aimed at enhancing Turkish security in the wake of the escalating Syrian war and alleged possibility of a chemical weapons attack by the cornered President Assad, the initiative was denounced straight away by Ankara's neighbors and other regional powers – Moscow, Tehran and Damascus.
"Moscow was wary of the NATO anti-aircraft system's deployment in Turkey," Russian Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov said last week during talks with the Chair of the NATO Military Committee, Knud Bartles.
Remarks were echoed by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Aleksandr Lukashevich, who warned last Friday that "the stockpile of extra weapons" in the border area would "bring about an additional element of tension."
However, there is little chance the Patriot deployment process on Turkish soil will be reversed. At its ministerial meeting in Brussels, held on December 5th and 6th, NATO unequivocally gave the Turkish request its stamp of approval, standing by the commitments under the organization's collective security pact. A team of NATO officials and experts has already landed in Turkey to finalize the terms and conditions of the deal, which will allow Ankara to station six NATO Patriot systems on its soil – two American, two German and two Dutch. The missiles are expected to reach Turkey soon, within weeks according to some estimates.
One could ask: What is wrong with Turkey's genuine wish to effectively seal off its borders from hundreds of potential threats emanating from its troubled neighbor, and take advantage of being a NATO member? Independent military experts have found NATO's official explanation of Patriots being used for defensive purposes confusing.
The Patriot system is not used against shells and rocket-propelled grenades, which eventually could be fired at Turkey from Syrian territory. Patriot missiles are used to intercept and destroy missiles as well as to shoot down aircraft. But what missiles does Syria possess that the Patriots could be used against, and why would President Assad arm these alleged missiles with deadly sarin gas (if he even possesses such chemical weapons)?
The pretext for the deployment of NATO Patriot missiles in Turkey does not appear credible. But if the real motive is not to deter Syria, why is NATO hurrying to station its anti-missile systems in the region, a part of the world already overloaded with deadly weapons? What if this move has a hidden agenda?
"Turkey has explained its request to NATO as exclusively related to its need to defend itself from a possible attack from the Syrian army. But there could be a second motivation for this actions, which is a preparation for military strike against Iran," a Russian diplomatic source told Kommersant daily.
If one considers the distance between the region of Patriot deployment in Turkey and the Iranian border, Moscow's worry could seem a bit far-fetched. However, Patriot missiles can easily be moved to any region in Turkey, including its eastern border with Iran. "These are mobile units that can be moved to any point in Turkey. It's only about 500 kilometers from where the units will be located to Tebriz in Iran, where some say there are secret nuclear facilities," Dmitry Polikanov said. Polikanov is the vice president of the Moscow-based PIR Center, an independent thinktank.
"Considering that the US wants to use Turkey as an advance missile shield, the Patriots might be stationed there forever. Turkey wanted to modernize its weapons anyway and already started taking bids for similar weapons systems. Under these circumstances, the weapons are most likely directed against Iran," Polikanov said, adding that any kind of provocation could now become a pretext for war. And the installation of NATO anti-aircraft missiles in Turkey means that Iran will no longer be able to retaliate if attacked.
Iranian armed forces chief General Hassan Firouzabadi said last Saturday that the lessons of 1962 Cuban missile crisis may return to haunt the world.
"Each one of these Patriots is a black mark on the world map, and is meant to cause a world war. They are making plans for a world war, and this is very dangerous for the future of humanity and for the future of Europe itself," General Firouzabadi warned.
The already tense relations between Ankara and Tehran have been further strained by a last-minute announcement that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has skipped a much-awaited visit to Turkey and talks with Prime Minister Erdogan in a move largely seen as a sign of Iran's growing displeasure with the Patriot deployment.

GOLF: Rain interrupts
World Golf Finals
The anticipated showdown between Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods at the World Golf Finals in Belek, Turkey, was pushed back a day because of thunderstorms at the Sultan course.
Torrential rain began lashing Antalya Golf Club shortly after the morning matches in the eight-player event were completed, forcing organizers to postpone the four afternoon matches to today with the semifinals staged afterward.
The other abandoned matches were: Justin Rose vs. Webb Simpson, Lee Westwood vs. Hunter Mahan and Charl Schwartzel vs. Matt Kuchar.

BITS & PIECES: Ronaldinho suspended one game
Brazil's sports tribunal has suspended Ronaldinho for one game for a dangerous kick that nearly hit an opponent in the face in a Brazilian league match.
There was no foul called, and Ronaldinho didn't receive a card at the time, but the tribunal used television images to suspend the former two-time world player of the year.
Utah authorities say a youth football coach struck a 13-year-old player from the opposing team near the sideline late in a tied game, giving the boy a concussion.
Police Sgt. Lance Smith says video from Saturday's game shows Nathan Harris, 38, intentionally knocking the boy down. Smith says witnesses also say that Harris hit the player.
Harris hasn't been charged, but police in Payson — about an hour south of Salt Lake City — have arrested him for investigation of felony child abuse.
Attorney Dean Zabriskie says the boy accidentally crashed into Harris. He says police are relying too heavily on a grainy video and testimony from witnesses who were standing far away.

SKH-410 Dolby Atmos-Enabled Speaker System
Easy Add-On for Multi-Dimensional Surround-Sound
This pair of speakers is a convenient and affordable way to unlock the full Dolby Atmos sound experience in your home theater. You get to keep your existing speaker setup exactly as you like it, with no need to install in-ceiling speakers. The Onkyo SKH-410 speaker modules connect to your Dolby Atmos-compatible A/V receiver's height channels and are designed to sit on top of your floorstanding front speakers or on an entertainment unit.
The handsome black modules contain a Dolby Atmos-certified special network that allows the angled full-range driver to beam sound "objects" -such as birdcalls or an aircraft- off your ceiling and into your ears. The result is a multi-dimensional sound, with precisely localized effects moving over and all around you, an intensely realistic sonic experience that truly puts you in the middle of the scene.
The speaker modules are constructed from sturdy wood and finished in woodgrain laminate, and include two speaker cables and rubber anti-vibration feet to protect your speakers or furniture. Once connected, you can sit back and lose yourself in a seamless multi-dimensional sphere of living sound courtesy of Onkyo and Dolby.
Learn more about Dolby Atmos here.
For Pairing with an Onkyo Dolby Atmos Compatible A/V Receiver
Compatible Onkyo A/V receivers decode, scale, and calibrate Dolby Atmos to suit home theater configurations using 7, 9 or 11 channels. These receivers feature Dual 32-bit DSP engines that enable them to decode and deliver Dolby Atmos format to a home theater layout.
Dolby Atmos-Enabled Speakers
The SKH-410 Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers add multidimensional audio to a standard surround sound set-up. To reproduce these sound objects that originate from overhead —a helicopter, raindrops, the flight of an arrow, for example- these two front speaker modules each have an upwardly angled speaker housed in the cabinet. These speakers, which are powered by the receiver's height channels, bounce individually separate and distinctly coded sound effects off the ceiling and to your ears and create an overhead sonic plane, moving the sound around and above you in multidimensional space.

RIVERA Y VILLALÓN, PEDRO DE (?–?). Pedro de Rivera y Villalón, a brigadier in the Spanish army, was sent from New Mexico in 1724 on a tour to inspect the frontier defenses of New Spain. The trip, which lasted until June 29, 1728, covered more than 8,000 miles. In his diary Rivera described the location of settlements and Indians, customs and habits of the inhabitants, and the products of the soil. His engineer, Francisco Álvarez Barreyto, made a map of the Texas frontier in 1727, including detailed examinations of the coast country between La Bahía and the Neches River. Rivera's report advocated consolidation for economy, suggested a vigorous policy for the suppression of the Apaches, and recommended the removal of the La Bahía presidio (Nuestra Señora de Loretoqv) to the Medina River to check the Apaches in that area. His recommendation regarding La Bahía was not followed, but his report did result in the moving of three East Texas missions to San Antonio in 1731.

Oil rises on Libyan supply disruptions, likely OPEC output cut extension
* OPEC-led production cut expected to be extended into H2 2017
* Stephen Jennings pulls out of RenCap after 17 years
* Billionaire tycoon Prokhorov takes over
* Jennings to focus on Africa, asset management units
By Megan Davies and Douglas Busvine
MOSCOW, Nov 14 Stephen Jennings, a New Zealander who became one of post-Soviet Russia's financial titans, is selling out of his Renaissance Capital to billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov and leaving Russian investment banking to focus on frontier markets like Africa.
It is the end of an era for Jennings, who came to Moscow aged 32 with Credit Suisse First Boston in 1992. He went on to found Renaissance in 1995, making his name and fortune as a risk taker and dealmaker who rebuilt twice after market crashes.
The tall ex-rugby player had lately been spending less time in Moscow as he builds up Renaissance's businesses in Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa.
Under the deal announced on Wednesday he will continue to run most of what remains of Renaissance Group after the split from the investment bank: an asset management operation, African land development projects, an African consumer finance business and Russian real estate funds.
Billionaire-turned-politician Prokhorov's Onexim Group will buy the half of Renaissance Capital it doesn't already own and take over Russian-based consumer lender Renaissance Credit for an undisclosed sum, the two sides said.
Prokhorov, who ran on a liberal platform and lost to Vladimir Putin in this year's Russian presidential election, has a fortune estimated by Forbes magazine at $13 billion, including a stake in aluminium giant RUSAL, gold miner Polyus Gold and the U.S. Brooklyn Nets basketball team.
Jennings moved to Moscow with Credit Suisse in 1992 to advise on the mass privatisations that launched Russia on a rugged path from central planning to a market economy and earned staggering riches for a handful of well-connected insiders.
He masterminded the first privatisation of a post-Communist Russian company - the Bolshevik Biscuit Factory, before founding Renaissance with Russian-American businessman Boris Jordan.
The business was laid low by the 1998 crash and Russia's default on sovereign debt, but Jennings stayed on to rebuild it in the 2000s after his partners quit. He added asset management and consumer banking businesses and expanded into Africa.
He turned down offers from Russian banks, including one from state-controlled VTB to buy out Renaissance Capital at the top of the market for a reported $4 billion.
The Sept. 2008 crash forced him to accept a far lower valuation to keep RenCap afloat as he sold a one-half stake in the investment bank to Prokhorov for $500 million.
Jennings worked overtime on the trading floor at the peak of the market turmoil in an attempt to deal his way out of trouble. He was forced to make severe staff cuts, later describing the process as like "surgery without anaesthetic".
"The investment banking industry globally is hugely oversized, it has been a massive bubble," Jennings told Reuters in June. "It probably was one of the best industries to be in and now is one of the worst."
Renaissance Capital ranks eighth in Russia for M&A advisory so far this year, according to Thomson Reuters data from Friday, advising on $32 billion in deals. It has had to cut some staff already this year. Recent projects include advising <BP BP.L> on sale of its stake in TNK-BP to Rosneft.
John Hyman, Deputy CEO of Renaissance Capital, will take over the helm of the investment bank from Jennings, who could not be reached for comment.

Wow, what an exciting update?!? I love learning about cultural differences however I must say I prefer dogs soft and cuddly on my lap rather than on my plate!
What an amazing trip you are having, keep the updates coming! I love following your adventures :)
Fireworks, karaoke and dogmeat... Happy New Year!
Trip Start
Sep 01, 2010
Trip End
Jul 05, 2011
Caution – the following paragraph comes with a disclaimer! Read at your own risk…
The next morning, Ted's boys came tearing into the house to find me, shouting that I was to come "see the dog." Taking into account my current location and the celebrations to come, I followed them outside a bit dubiously, with the sneaking suspicion that I wasn't about to see something cute and cuddly. I was right. Dogmeat is a traditional food for special events and the men of the house were preparing for the feast. Luckily, I came out too late to see them kill the poor beast, which only that morning had been running around the yard. Apparently, it had been causing lots of problems, stealing food and biting the kids… but regardless of its many sins, it was still disturbing to see its blackened form, open-mouthed as if still snarling, tied to a pole in the yard. As I watched, the men poured what must have been gasoline over the animal and it was engulfed in flames, to burn off the hair. Soon, the dog was no more than red and black bits in a bowl, (sorry, but I did put a disclaimer at the top…) into which Nona's sister Eni mixed spices for cooking later. I kept thinking, "If this isn't a National Geographic moment, I don't know what is!" It was a fascinating look into local culture.
After the New Year's Eve feast (yes, I did try some dogmeat – it had a smoky flavor and was very chewy), the family gathered for a candle-lit time of prayer in the small open-air building housing the remains of Nona's parents. The elder members of the family took turns praying aloud and although I only understood a bit of what was said, I was moved by their fervent, sometimes tearful voices. After the prayers and singing, everyone got up to throw freshly-cut flowers on the graves.
Then the fireworks came out. For the whole month of December, there's been a light show every night, but New Year's was especially stunning. The horizon of night sky flared so frequently that it looked and sounded as though we were in the middle of a war zone. Explosions of fireworks lasted from sundown, around 6:15pm, well into the wee hours of the morning, competing with the bombastic sound systems pumping out Indonesian dance tunes up and down our street. My travel friend Eng and his young niece performed a song for me and presented me with a traditional woven cloth from their family village. The men drank Bintang beer, the women danced under the orange tarp tent and the children raced around with noisemakers and sparklers. What a way to ring in the New Year!
Back to Kupang the next day to pack and prepare for my trip to Cambodia. It will be so hard to say goodbye to my new family here in Indonesia!

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
SmithKline Beecham Limited 10/7/11
Department of Health and Human Services | Public Health Service Food and Drug Administration |
Silver Spring MD 20993 |
Warning Letter
October 7, 2011
Mr. Joseph C. Foley
Interim Director
SmithKline Beecham Limited
Worthing West Sussex
BN14 8QH, United Kingdom
Dear Mr. Foley:
During our March 2011 inspection of your pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, SmithKline Beecham Limited located in Worthing West Sussex, United Kingdom, investigators from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified significant violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations for Finished Pharmaceuticals, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 210 and 211. These violations cause your drug products to be adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) [21 U.S.C. § 351(a)(2)(B)] in that the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, their manufacture, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to, or are not operated or administered in conformity with CGMP.
We have reviewed your firm's response of April 7, 2011, and note that it lacks sufficient corrective actions.
Specific violations observed during the inspection include, but are not limited, to the following:
1. Your firm has not established appropriate written procedures designed to prevent microbiological contamination of drug products purporting to be sterile [21 C.F.R. § 211.113(b)]. For example:
a. The qualification of your disinfectant (b)(4) failed to demonstrate that it is suitable and effective to remove microorganisms from different surfaces. Specifically, this disinfectant failed to meet qualification criteria when challenged with multiple organisms.
Your disinfectant qualification for (b)(4) and (b)(4) bi-spore disinfectants documented that the log reduction criteria (Bacteria ≥ 4, Fungi ≥ 3) was not met when challenged with multiple organisms in a variety of surfaces. After disinfection, you recovered Micrococcus luteus on vinyl, (b)(4), stainless steel, glass, and wall laminate and Enterobacter cloacae, Rhodococcus sp, Burkholderia cepacia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Methylobacterium mesophilicum and, Acinetobacter lwoffi on glass. However, your procedures for routine cleaning of the aseptic manufacturing area continue to require the use of unqualified disinfectants during days (b)(4) through (b)(4) of your disinfectant program.
Your firm's response indicates that the failure to meet the log reduction criteria was due to the test conditions and not the efficacy of the disinfectant. However, you did not include documentation to support this conclusion. Moreover, your firm submitted an updated Technical Report (LT8R1310) "Interim Report for the Disinfectant Validation Study of the (b)(4) and (b)(4) Performed by (b)(4)", signed by your Quality Assurance (QA) on July 27, 2011, indicating that the disinfectant (b)(4) has been unable to comply with the three-log reduction for Micrococcus luteus microorganism on some surfaces.
b. Procedure SOP PMC6169 "Aseptic & Support Area Sanitization Following Maintenance Shutdown" is inadequate.
A media fill conducted during January 2011 resulted in two contaminated units. Your firm attributed the failures to stopper bags left inside the class 100 area for a long period of time (throughout a shutdown that took place prior to the media fill in January 2011 shutdown). There is inadequate information available to support your conclusion, including information regarding the microorganisms recovered from the stopper bags and the sterility test conducted, along with an evaluation of your sampling procedure and environmental monitoring program.
Significantly, your firm had intended to use the media fill data to extend the sterility holding times for product contact components, without the approval of your Quality Unit. We also are concerned that your SOP PMC6169 did not require manufacturing materials to be removed to an appropriate area for storage during shut-down of operations and prior to bringing the area back into classified status.
c. Personnel gown monitoring conducted during routine aseptic filling of (b)(4)g ((b)(4)cc and (b)(4)cc) and (b)(4)g ((b)(4) cc) is inadequate.
The inspection documented that your firm conducts personnel monitoring on a (b)(4) basis and upon (b)(4) the classified manufacturing rooms by only sampling the hood, goggles, and sleeves. We are concerned about your current gowning monitoring approach as operators may perform substantial interventions into the Restricted Access Barriers (RABs), where sterile product is exposed, several times per week. In addition, the investigators noticed during the inspection one of the operators sanitizing his hands with (b)(4) immediately prior to conducting his own personnel monitoring sampling. Your personnel monitoring program should include appropriate sampling and practices to reflect whether personnel maintain asepsis during sterile drug manufacture.
In your response to this letter, please provide a detailed description of the controls implemented to ensure operators that enter the class 100 (ISO 5) area are sampled adequately in the "QA Grade B Room" (ISO 6). Also provide this same information for operators who enter the aseptic processing room for non-aseptic filling activities. Please include your rationale for these monitoring schedules.
In addition, the (b)(4)") Dynamic Airflow Visualization" video provided in your firm's response shows an operator spraying his hands with (b)(4)(b)(4)(b)(4)% directly over the air viable microbial plate. This practice is unacceptable because the environmental monitoring results from plates sprayed with ) (b)(4)% may be inaccurate and may not reflect the actual microbiological environment of the Class 100 (ISO 5) room.
2. Your firm fails to follow laboratory control procedures [21 C.F.R. § 211.160(a)]. For example:
The inspection revealed that the laboratory investigations FQ991_6058, FQ991_6239, FQ991_7049, FQ991_7050, and FQ991_7484 were conducted without having Form B completed and approved by your Quality Unit, as required by your procedure. Your firm's procedure QAA4 "Investigation Out of Specification (OOS) Test and Atypical Results Procedure" establishes that the Form B is intended to document any retest, root cause investigation, and whether any remedial corrective and preventative actions are required.
Your firm's response indicates that although the Form B was not used, the quality of the investigations is equivalent to those investigations in which the Form B was completed. However, you provided no support for this conclusion. In addition, your response failed to justify the re-test that was conducted without authorization by your Quality Unit.
In response to this letter, please review all the OOS investigations for product within expiration date to determine if the investigation procedures were properly followed, and include any re-test analyses conducted without the approval of your Quality Unit. Please provide a list of the investigations evaluated, and a summary of each investigation's outcome.
3. The quality control unit does not adequately exercise its responsibilities to approve procedures or specifications that may impact the identity, strength, quality, and purity of the drug product [21 C.F.R. § 211.22(c)]. For example:
The inspection documented that the visual inspection certification program (VIC) for (b)(4)g ((b)(4)cc and (b)(4)cc) and (b)(4)g ((b)(4)cc) finished product does not adequately challenge the technician(s) performing the inspection. The visual inspection competency (VIC) program only requires that (b)(4) of the five critical defects be included in the challenge set. Although the following are identified as critical defects: a vial with a crack neck, missing cap, missing stopper, high/low weight, and a foreign body, only a missing cap defect is included in the visual inspection program. This test will only show that the technician(s) is capable of detecting a missing cap, but it does not show that the technician is capable of detecting other critical defects. Additionally, the SOP does not require that the critical defect challenge vial selected be rotated to ensure that each inspector is challenged to detect each critical defect.
In the response to this letter, please indicate what specific steps you have taken to ensure that all distributed lots are properly evaluated for all critical defects.
The violations cited in this letter are not intended to be an all-inclusive statement of violations that exist at your facility. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of the violations identified above and for preventing their recurrence and the occurrence of other violations. If you wish to continue to ship your products to the United States, it is the responsibility of your firm to ensure compliance with all U.S. standards for CGMP and all applicable U.S. laws and regulations.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Enterocele
An enterocele occurs when the tissues and muscles that hold the small bowel in place are stretched or weakened. It may develop if the muscles in a woman's vaginal canal become damaged by pregnancy, labor, childbirth, or a previous pelvic surgery or are weakened by aging. In rare cases, it can be present at birth (congenital).
An enterocele may become large or more obvious when a woman strains or bears down (for example, during a bowel movement). It may cause a heavy feeling in the vagina, constipation, or incomplete emptying of the bowel. Some women experience a pulling or aching feeling in the low back or pelvis that may be more noticeable after standing for a long time.
Exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, called Kegel exercises, may help relieve some symptoms of enterocele. In severe cases, surgery may be needed.

Bloggingheads.tv: Corn and Pinkerton Agree on Iran, Disagree on "Red Dawn"
Jim Pinkerton and I were together again for another Bloggingheads.tv diavlog. We mainly agreed on Iran, with Jim sort of concurring with my assessment that John McCain is "bonkers" for pushing Barack Obama to embrace the Iranian opposition. Nothing would hurt the opposition movement's credibility within Iran--where it counts most--than a big wet-kiss from Washington. We then moved on to health care, with Jim suggesting both Ds and Rs are wrong to preach austerity to the American public when it comes to health care dollars. Perhaps, but I challenged his solution: freeing the health care industry from government regs so it can produce the sort of products and services that can be exported abroad a la McDonald's. Finally, our big topic: whether the remaking of the cheesy 1984 anti-commie movie Red Dawn--high school kids in Colorado beat back Russian and Chinese invaders--is of any cultural significance. Jim: yes and hooray! Me: no and yawn.

To mitigate growth in building energy consumption, declines in energy use intensity for both residential and commercial buildings must outpace additions of square footage. Our analysis demonstrates that due to efficiency gains, average commercial physical energy use intensity declines by 42% (from 82 kBTU/square foot in 2010 to 48 kBTU/square foot in 2050). The average residential physical energy use intensity declines by 60% (from 58 kBTU/square foot in 2010 to 23 kBTU/square foot in 2050).

This week's edition of British satirical magazine "Private Eye" claims that the planned air date for the next season of Doctor Who is August 2014. This ties in with the Radio Times announcement that filming for the next season starts in autumn, so it's rather probable. If they're still casting a new Doctor right now, it's quite that the pre-filming process could take until then.
They tie this in with a longer article about the various public relation mishaps the show has suffered recently; the DVD finale releases that American fans received a week early, John Hurt giving his local paper the scoop about his appearance on the program (also a week early), and the slightly haphazard way that Matt Smith's announcement was made (Ian Levine's Twitter was just one of the "fans and the Internet" sources to have the news before the BBC officially released it). How much of this you care to interpret in the same fashion as "Private Eye" is up for debate, but on the plus side, if it's true that means we get a full slate of episodes next year and not another half-season.
"Private Eye" has previously published some controversial reports on the show; the BBC went out of its way to deny claims that the 2012 series would consist only of four specials when the magazine reported as much in June 2011 (as it turned out, they were only off by two episodes, despite Steven Moffat's Twitter on the subject). Their report on Caroline Skinner's leaving has not been commented upon by any of the involved parties, understandably.

That doesn't actually guarantee more than a half season. Could be a half again, like the goodbye to the Ponds.

They need to start coming out with stuff instead of trying to be all secret about what they are doing. If they just came out and told us what they were planning then the fans would not be trying to uncover it so much.
Not sure why they feel the need to have such control and secrecy. - 13 June 2013 at 13:14

Another way I like to save money with recipes is a "two-fer". Two meals for one! The recipe below is for a fabulous Martha Stewart Slow-Cooker Green Chili. It makes a lot! So save half of the chili and a couple days later make these great Pork and Cabbage-Slaw Burritos
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (I bought a package of Costco pork shoulder country ribs)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 medium yellow onion, diced medium
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
5 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 poblano chiles, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 pounds small red potatoes
Fresh cilantro leaves, flour tortillas, and lime wedges, for serving
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high. Season pork with salt and pepper. In three batches, cook pork until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes total (add up to 1 tablespoon oil as needed). Transfer pork to a 6-quart slow cooker.
Add broth to skillet, stirring and scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Pour broth into slow cooker, then add onion, garlic, cumin, carrots, chiles, and potatoes. Cover and cook on high until meat is fork-tender, 6 hours.
Skim excess fat from top of chili. With a slotted spoon, transfer 2 cups chili (leaving liquid behind) to an airtight container; let cool, uncovered, then refrigerate (see Pork and Cabbage-Slaw Burritos). Serve remaining chili with cilantro, warmed flour tortillas, and lime wedges.

I guess everyone reads what they want and I can't make them see other wise.
I think taking this any further is not going to help anyone.
I guess everyone reads what they want and I can't make them see other wise.
I think taking this any further is not going to help anyone.
This would tell me that hands on, experienced time with a competent trainer or training group would have 'avoided' this perceived 'non training' or 'non-desire' issue which I believe was the basis of Marks post rather than forums solving problems that shouldn't exist in the first place.
I could be wrong though.
We shoot dogs with a Canon
It's good of you to come to the defense of your friend, but again it's not the advise that I had a problem with. It's the fact that he cherry picked something out of the middle of my answer and took it completely out of context and that not right.
That's just being a jerk.
More so outlining that the OP (no offense to him) might be naive about the issue and reinforces that by stating it couldn't possibly be a desire or training issue and further more wants to hear nothing of it. I mean c'mon...if not one of those two things the alternative is someone taught the dog (at worst) that cold water is bad, right? At best didn't cover the confidence factor in water well enough ahead.
In terms of suggestions yours both included force if met by resistance. Summer or winter. Water force could help...but personally I'd figure it out before force because after all the dog does everything else 'great', right?
I'd guess the OP missed some stuff and frankly would rather start there but folks can only do that effectively live and in person where they can see what they see versus read what they're told. Which is what I supported in MJH345's response.
We shoot dogs with a Canon
I agree with you. Based on his dog's apparent birdyness and drive to retrieve up to that point, the OP extrapolated those traits to water and didn't want to hear anything contrary. I haven't read all the post since I posted a reply early on, so don't know if he's returned to the thread with any additional information, but it seems like many are posting advise he didn't want to hear. My point was that it could be a number of things including a lack of heart in the dog, but with winter coming on hard, now wasn't the time to force the dog into cold water. Now if we knew the dog had advanced through a proper training program including FF, FTP and water force, we would know the tools were built in and we could deal with it accordingly, but I didn't get that impression. Hence my advise to skip duck hunting this season and deal with it in a proper manner over Spring, and Summer.
Keith's idea of running some simple retrieves across shallow, running water isn't a bad one, but again I would leave the force out of it unless and until we know for sure the dog understands force and how to handle it.
Been busy! No time for Internet banter.
Actually ran into something similar this weekend. Knocked down a couple of ducks out of the back of the pit. 22 month old Lab did not see the fall. Ran the blind down the levee. Dog did not want to take the angle entry into water. Two cast refusals. Stopped & nick. Dog cast into the water & brought back the duck. Without a complete water force program, I would have been throwing rocks or the dog or retrieving ducks myself.
I really don't think my dog has a heart & guts the size of an acorn. Hunted all morning in 20 mph wind, temp high 30's without 1 whimper. She flushed up a cripple off the levee the same day. Chased the flying duck 175 yards. Stuck with it as it dove for at least 2 minutes. Finally corralled it against another levee & retrieved the duck to hand. I am going to keep her.
I had the tools to handle the problem. When I leave the driveway in my truck you can bet there is a jack & a lug wrench under the back seat. To buy a new truck because it has a flat tire is advice I will quickly dismiss. I won't switch breeds because of one single issue either. I love Chessies, Goldens, Boykins, Tollers, Poodles, Drathaars & almost every other breed of working dogs. If I had the time, I would own a lot of these breeds. Because space, time & money is limited, I will stick to the Lab as they best fit my needs.
My advice to the original poster is to not hunt the dog this year. Wait til this summer & as previously mentioned have someone walk you through a solid water force program. Next year, you will have the tool needed to address the issue.
Mark Land
I agree, I just gave him a quick way to find out for him self. in a controlled environment.
Step one, No pressure if the dog responds well move to step two. If the dog breaks down in step two, he will see the contrast vary quickly. Stop there, wait until summer and go back over the force to water part of his program.
The way I read the OP, he felt, that there was no problem with his program. So it must be environmental Right. Sometimes thing have to be learned on our own.

IGF-2/NeoVar/Osteo-C/LipoPM stack
IGF-2/NeoVar/Osteo-C/LipoPM stack
Started 4/2/07
Sorry I didnt start the thread right away (many excuses .etc...etc.)
Starting Stats: all are cold measurements
Weight - 200#
R. Forearm 13
R. Bi 15 ½
Chest 42½
Stomach - 40½
Waist 37
Hips 39"
R. Thigh 23 5/8"
R. Calf 17 1/4"
AN has been kind enough to send the Neovar/IGF-2/Osteo-C stack. I bought 2 more bottles of Lipo-PM from Nutraplanet. I lost 10# and a couple of inches on my trial (see thread) so I want to see what the results will be when doing 2 doses per day and in combo with the stack.
I am going to run the Lipo-PM at twice a day and do the stack - 4 weeks worth. If the stack is going well or at least I feel it starting to kick in I plan on ordering another 4 weeks worth and run the whole thing for 8 weeks.
Basic info (you can get most of it on my Lipo-PM thread):
I will be 59 in August have several health/injury related issues. Put on 20# last year (all fat) and am trying to get back into shape/loose BF etc. (NeoVar/IGF-2) Currently have a shoulder problem (Osteo-C) and will probably wind up having surgery some time in the next month or so.
I am a semi-retired martial artist/fitness advisor. I am currently a desk jockey sitting in front of a computer all day.
My workout schedule is a 3 day/week upper/lower 2 week split.
Week1: Week 2:
M- Upper M - Lower
W Lower W - Upper
F Upper F Lower
Although lately it seems to be only a M/Th schedule (again multiple excuses .LOL)
Since I am behind I will break up the last couple of weeks so that this doesnt turn into a super long initial post. - 04-19-2007, 02:02 PM
Goals – Reduce BF to around 15% while putting on a couple of pounds of lean mass. I am thinking I would like to get down to 195# and as I said 15% BF(currently I am about 18 – 20%)
My current workout (I try to start out with 20 min on the treadmill or stationary bike for cardio & warm-up). I do not have a lifting partner so I tend to use machines a lot or go up in weights slowly so I can control them. I try for 3-4 sets/10 -12 reps when I get to 4 sets and a strong 10-12 reps I add weight or if I feel really good that day I'll bump things.
My diet is not super clean – just a normal diet with health in mind. My wife is slowly shifting us to the Glycemic Index diet.
I am on a TRT program and take all the usual supplements: E, D, C, CoQ10, Multi-Vit, Multi-Min, Omega oils, St. Johns, Saw Palmetto, ZMA, Fenugreek, DHEA, BCAA, Post W/O drink, digestion aid, joint formula. I am stimulant sensitive so I do not do a Pre-W/O drink or other weight management formulas. I aim for 1 gal. of water a day.
Upper body:
Flat BB Bench Press
Medium width Pull-ups (counterbalance machine)
Rear Deltoid Laterals (machine)
Upright Rows – EZ Curl bar
Triceps (press down/dip machine)
Biceps (seated machine)
Abs Crunch/Hanging Knee Raise (Superset)
Lower body:
Leg Extensions (Nautilus machine)
Prone Leg Curls
Leg Press (Incline ?)
Standing Calf Raise (machine)
Low Back Hyperextensions
Behind Back BB Wrist Curls
Abs Crunch/Hanging Knee Raise (Superset) -
Monday 4/2
Lousy sleep last night up 4 or 5 times during the night. Hope this stack doesn't make my sleep even worse than it already is. Work out was OK but nothing fantastic – just very tired.
Bench – 115# - 3 x 10
Pull-ups – 150# - 3 x 10 (this is a counter balance machine so the lower the weight used the better)
Rear Delts – 40# - 1 x 12, 1 x 9 (shoulder acting up)
Upright Rows – 65# - 3 x 12
Triceps – 195# - 2 x 12, 1 x 9
Bicep – 60# - 1 x 12, 1 x 10, 1 x 6
Abs/Knee ups – 1 x 50/25 - 04-19-2007, 02:04 PM
Wed 4/4
A really bad night and almost threw up after I ate breakfast. I wonder if I need to adjust the time between taking the IGF-2 and eating.
Got off of work and was totally wiped out so skipped the gym. -
Thus. 4/5
Cardio – 20 min
Leg Ext – 90# - 3 x 12
Leg Curls – 90# - 3 x 12
Leg Press – 290# - 3 x 12
Calf – 180# - 3 x 12
Hyperext. – 5# - 3 x 12
Wrist Curls – 65# - 3 x 12
Abs – skipped ( very queasy stomach)
Still having bad sleep (and I don't sleep well as it is). Didn't wait as long between IGF-2 & food (about 30 min vs. the 45 recommended). Not sure why I had problems at end of workout. Am very tired in afternoon. I know a big piece is sleep related but I may need to add more carbs with my second dose of NeoVar (may be low blood sugars). - 04-19-2007, 02:07 PM
Fri/Sat/Sun. 4/6 – 4/8
Bad sleep. No nausea
Always use the weekends to catch up on my sleep. Need to get my taxes started (Turbo tax) what fun….LOL.
Can't say that I feel anything different during this first week other than even worse sleep than usual. This may or may not be related to the stack as I also have a lot of other things going on (work, health TAXES). - 04-19-2007, 02:08 PM
Mon. 4/9
Shoulder is really acting up but I'm still going to the gym (stubborn). Sleep was a little better.
Cardio – 18 min
Bench – 115# - 3 x 12
Pull-ups – 150# - 2 x 12, 1 x 9

Triceps – 195# - 3 x 12
Bicep – 60# - 1 x 12, 1 x 10, 1 x 8
Abs/Knee ups – 2 x 40/20 - 04-19-2007, 02:13 PM
I take the IGF-2 when I wake up around 6:30 am. Then I take the NeoVar & Osteo-C with breakfast. I take my second Neovar with lunch on off days and per the instructions on workout days. I take my first dose of Lipo late morning a little before lunch and second at bed along with the second IGFdose. I take my second Osteo-C with dinner.
Wed 4/11
Midway thru breakfast threw up everything. I have to say it was very colorful, red/blue/orange/yellow, all the pills/capsules I had taken a few minute earlier. Got cleaned up and mixed up a protein shake to take with me to work.
Still having major crashes in the afternoon (2 pm on). I really need to adjust my meals or start taking the second half of my stack with my evening meal.
Cardio – 20 min
Leg Ext – 100# - 4 x 12
Leg Curls – 90# - 4 x 12
Leg Press – 180# x 12, 270# x 12, 360# x 12, 450# x 8
Calf – 180# - 4 x 12

Wrist Curls – 95# - 1 x 12, 1 x 10, 1 x 7
Abs/Knee ups – 40/20, 20/10
Decided to push it. Legs have always been better for me (lot's of leg work in my martial arts). Want to stoke up the metabolism and get some upper body synergy going.
Still playing with the taxes - 04-19-2007, 02:16 PM
Fri/Sat/Sun 4/13 – 4/15
Shoulder really acting up and still very tired. Although the sleep is marginally improving.
Finished the taxes!!!! - 04-19-2007, 02:17 PM
Mon 4/16
More rested after the weekend and finishing the taxes. Back up to full doses on the stack. Still not doing the full 45 min on the IGF-2 before breakfast (at about 30 min now).
Again very wiped out in afternoon. Tried to make sure I had enough carbs etc and did in between meal snack of vegetable sticks and a can of tune in the afternoon. Something to keep working on.
Forced myself to go to the gym and to try to push it some more. Won't get in 3 workouts again this week. I will be sitting guest at a black belt testing Friday so will do Mon & Thurs.
I'm beginning to think I should just change to 2 days vs. the 3 I had planned since it seems to be working out that way.
But overall it was a good work out. The place was super crowded and I couldn't use either of the cardio machines I do. Just jammed both before my W/O and after which is unusual.
Cardio – none
Leg Ext – 80# x 12, 90# x 12, 100# x 12, 110# x 12
Leg Curls – 70# x 12, 80# x 12, 90# x 12, 100# x 12
Leg Press – 180# x 12, 270# x 12, 360# x 12, 450# x 12
Calf – 150# x 12, 165# x 12, 180# x 12, 195# x 12
Hyperext. – none
Wrist Curls – 65 x 12, 75 x 12, 85 x 12, 95# x 8
Abs/Knee ups – none
All the Ab stations were in use, the knee up in use and the low back stations. Busy day or at least when I needed the station. So I packed it in and went home instead of waiting 10 min for someone to finish. - 04-19-2007, 02:21 PM
Tues 4/17
Another bad night.
______________________________ ______________________________ ________________________
Wed. 4/18
Another bad night.
Yoga class with my wife. Nice break. Good stretching although I have to take it easy on the range of motion on the shoulder and some of the posture with a lot of knee bending I simply can't do anymore.
And that catches me up.
I will be regular from now on. I kept a journal so I at least had all the notes I needed.
Had an MRI on the shoulder last Sat and my doc is on vacation so won't find anything out for a couple of weeks (he went to Spain & France with his family).
In the mean time I am going to push it as much as I can 'cause I know I will have some down time if he decides it need work. - 04-20-2007, 01:49 PM
Thurs 4/19
Not even going to mention sleep unless it vastly improves.
Pushed the workout even tho i wasn't 100% as far as energy.
Cardio – 22 min
Bench – 95x12, 105x12,115x12,125x8
Pull-ups – 150 - 4x10
Rear Delts – 40 - 4 x 10
Upright Rows – 65 - 4 x 10
Triceps – 210 - 4 x 10
Bicep – 65 - 3x10, 1x8
Abs/Knee ups - 40/20, 40/10
fair workout
little side ache towards the end and kept yawning all the time.
Taking Fri off - senior guest judge at a blackbelt testing
Sat & Sun off - son's 21st birthday (I feel old....LOL) - 04-20-2007, 01:56 PM
I think I have the nausea under control - I can't wait the full 45 min recommended on the IGF-2. I will slowly start to move the time (I'm currently doing about 25min).
As I said I do not sleep well (Insomnia, RLS and other factors) so anytime something happens to mess that up even more I have to watch it.
I know that sometimes my body really reacts to anything new I consume (supplements). I also get a reverse reaction from many meds and supplements. Things that really pep some people up will cause me to creash or I won't feel anything until i try to go to sleep.
I've been that way for a long, long time. So I will paly a little with the timing and if that doesn't work then I will play with the dosages. Right now I am using the recommended doses for 200#.
And this is only the end of the second week so I do think it's to early for me to make any major changes or conclusions. - 04-24-2007, 02:33 PM
Monday 4/23
No stomach issues.
Sleep was a little better.
Afternoon crash was better.
Had more energy going into the gym and increased weights almost across the board. Felt stronger but didn't have the endurance to go 4 sets on most lifts.
Cardio – 25 min
Bench – 125 x 8/8/8/6
Pull-ups – 140 - 3x10
Rear Delts – 50 x 10/10/8
Upright Rows – 75 x 10/10, 80 x 8
Triceps – 225 - 4 x 10
Bicep – 70 x 10/10/8
Abs/Knee ups - 40/20, 40/10, 20/10
I think things are starting to kick in this week. - 04-24-2007, 05:45 PM
Tues 4/24 - OFF
Wed 4/25 - OFF
Thurs 4/26
Cardio – none
Leg Ext – 110# 4 x 12
Leg Curls – 120# 3 x 12, 1 x 8
Leg Press – 240# x 12, 360# x 12, 410# x 12, 470# x 8
Calf – 195# 4 x 12
Hyperext. – 10# 3 x 10
Wrist Curls – 95# 12/12/6
Abs Crunch/Knee ups – 40/20, 40/10
Overall a better workout. More strength & more endurance.
My wife has commented twice in the last couple of weeks that I seem slimmer!!!!
Haven't taken any measurements lately other than the bathroom scale. Weight is moving between 198 - 200#.
I think the stack is kicking in but the weight reduction isn't moving. I like to think it's because i'm putting on some lean muscle. Will take some measurements & calipers this weekend. - 04-27-2007, 03:37 PM
Slept in big time on Sat (napped til noon) & did house stuff all day.
Slept in a little on Sunday and went for a bicycle ride with the wife for a couple of hours (got my cardio for the weekend)
This was the first time out for the season, very good endurance (for us AARP types) and no sorenes at all today.
Bathroom scale this AM was sitting at 198#. So I feel confident that the Lipo-PM is still working very well.
Will be doing upper body tonight and will report those numbers later.
I think the Osteo-C is definitely helping with my joint/arthritus issues. - 05-01-2007, 07:52 AM
Ok. Lat nights workout went fairly well. Went up in some weight and reps. Didn't feel particularly aggressive walking into the gym but wanted to push it as little anyway.
Cardio – 20 min
Bench – 125 x 10/10/10/5
Pull-ups – 140 - 4x10
Rear Delts – 50 3 x 10
Upright Rows – 75 4 x 10
Triceps – 240 - 10/10/8
Bicep – 70 3 x 10
Abs/Knee ups - 40, 30 - no Kneeups
Was suprised at how strong I felt on some lifts and that i had the endurance to go 4 sets on some.
Shoulder is a lilltle achey today but the rest of the body isn't as stiff/painful as naormal (for me).
Slept a lot better last night (again for me) but was very groggy this morning and had the vivid dreams that some other talk about.
The scale this am was at 198# again so I have lost 22#s over the last 3-4 months. I am very excited!! Now I hope to lose at least another 5# and add 2 - 5 # of lean mass.
Still trying to melt down the pot belly.
But I think the stack is working very well now. Well enough that I bought a second bottle of everything from Nutra this weekend so I can extend the cycle to 8 weeks. - 05-03-2007, 11:25 AM

Good workout.
Took a little longer break between sets (1 min - 1 1/2 min)
Felt strong all the way thru.
May have to add another set to the Leg press as I need a good warm up (bad knees & low back) and I'm getting up there in weight (for me).
Scale still sitting at 198#.
Had to punch a temporary hole in my belt. My pants are a 36" waist and that's a little loose now but not enough to get into my 34" comfortably yet. The last hole in the belt is to loose and I'm not ready to get a new belt yet.
My jeans are rapidly getting to the point of frayed and need to be replaced. I want to get down to a 34" waist before I buy more.
New goals that I hadn't thought about before!!! - 05-07-2007, 11:07 AM
Well I finally managed to do a third w/o in a week after months. I can't say that it went as well as I had hoped. Fridays are a struggle after a week of accumulated stres at work and poor sleep.
Cardio – 10 min on the reclining bike
Bench – 125# x 12/12/8
Pull-ups – 140# - 3 x 12
Rear Delts – 50# 4 x 12 (tried a new position that I saw a female lifter using and it made a world of difference on my shoulder joints - much less pain and a greater feeling of leverage.
Upright Rows – 80# 3 x 10
Triceps – 240# - 12/12/10
Bicep – 70# 12/10/10
On the rear delt machine I did a standing position with my chest braced on the pad instead of sitting and having the whole torso braced on the pad. The leg are in a bent legged stance (like a forward stance with the knees bent for those of you in the martial arts). Took a lot of pressue off of my neck & shoulder joints, I felt I had much greater leverage with no dead spots thru the lift. - 05-07-2007, 05:39 PM
Well for various reasons took a week off but it doesn't look like anyone missed me (deep sigh of longing....)
Monday 5/14
Cardio – 22 min on treadmill
Gym was very crowded so I wound up doing a lot of the sets out of the usual order and taking longer breaks waiting for people to move on.
Bench – 95 x 10/ 115 x 10/ 125 x 10/ 135 x 10
Pull-ups – 130# - 3 x 10
Rear Delts – 60# 3 x 10 (new position)
Upright Rows – 80# 3 x 10
Triceps – 240# - 4 x 8 (Bi & Tri as a Superset)
Bicep – 70# 4 x 8
Ab Crunch 50
Knee ups 25
Overall not a bad workout just took a little longer than I like and the additional rest didn't really help the lifts that much.
My body weight is holding steady at 198#. I was worried that the week off would move it back up. now i'm hoping that the time off will be a little shake up that will start things moving down again or at least leaning out some more. - 05-15-2007, 06:24 PM
Well my cycle came to an abrupt halt. My surgeon came back from vacation, reviewed my MRI and friday had me on the table. It's interesting trying to do everything left handed. They did a block on the nerves so for the first 20 or so hour the right arm was TOTALLY dead. no feeling, no movement....the scariest/strangest thing i've experienced. i even had the ghost sensations that amputees have. felt like it was moving but wasn't, had sensations and when i would reach over with my left hand the arm wasn't where it felt like it was....
I had a good workout monday before going in to see the Dr. Had a gut spot me for 9 reps at 155 on the bench..that was 20# more than i have done and it was at the 4th set...pretty good for a soon to be 59 yr old.
not the way i wanted to wrap up this thread and I'm sorry i didn't finish it properly. now I need to focus on rehab for a few weeks and keep my lower body workouts going. I'm going to be all legs...LOL
thanks to all who followed the thread.
Definitely a great product stack. i could feel it kicking in in the leg press and in the bench press. since i have almost a full bottle of each i plan on running a 4 week after i get my shoulder back up to speed!!!!
May have to buy another Osteo-C before trhat since I plan on it being a big part of my recovery and the Lipo-PM to keep my weight down.
