So you want to be a bodybuilder. Or perhaps you are simply trying to get into better shape. You have the approval of your doctor to start a training program and have joined your local gym. Your refrigerator is stocked with a protein rich diet and you have a plethora of shakes and powders to supplements to add to the mix. Now its time to start those hours of training and workouts required to get your body in peak performance mode. Right?

Well, not exactly. While it is important to be prepared when starting a basic fitness program or even a serious endeavor such as bodybuilding, it may not require the number of hours in the gym you are planning. While many people think you need to spend hours in a gym to get the proper body building physique, many experts argue that this type of workout schedule could actually cause you to lose muscle in Building Mass muscles. In addition, long hours in the gym do not allow the muscles to rebuild themselves and grow even stronger.

What is your network marketing strategy? Do you even have one? If not, don’t feel like you are unique.

Slice of SciFi #119: Interview with Colin Ferguson
On This Weeks Show: Interview with Colin Ferguson Be sure to go to the Contest Section on our homepage (upper left-hand corner) to find out about Slice of SciFis Dark Crystal CD contest, currently underway. Just click on the image to learn more. News Bytes: Ratings for SciFi Channels Eureka are up 18% over last year, but is the drop in ratings for Doctor Who because people are watching the Jericho reruns live? ?Transformers: The Game? has received good critical reviews from the gaming community, which is a far better movie tie-in video games for such films as ?Ghost Rider? and ?Shrek the Third.? SF may be here to stay on the networks, as NBC network walked away with four key prizes from the Television Critics Association Awards with the SF hit series ?Heroes? leading the pack as most outstanding program. Thats a pretty good followup to BSGs Peabody Award win. Movie Talk: On August 3rd ?The Bourne Ultimatum? comes to the big screen and this one promises to be the biggest Bourne yet with Academy Award nominee David Strathairn joining the cast that includes the return of Joan Allen and Julia Stiles who has a lot more screen time than she got in the second film, 2004?s ?The Bourne Supremacy.? On August 10th you may, for the first time in your life, find out what it really means to be a child again and scared half out of your wits, because that is the day that a new horror film called ?Skinwalkers? debuts on the big screen. Skinwalkers? is a horror action film that tells the tale of a 12-year-old boy who finds himself stuck right in the middle of a battle between two warring factions of werewolves: One pack of werewolves is sworn to protect him, while the other group wants him dead at any cost. TV Talk: After the violent shootings that took place on the Virginia Tech campus earlier this year, Fox has decided to revise and reshoot some of the more graphic violent scenes that had been filmed for ?The Sarah Connor Chronicles? before the tragic event had taken place. The scenes that will be revised deal with the high school where John attends that comes under violent attack during a Terminator raid to kill the young Connor. Josh Friedman, the show?s executive producer, stated that due to the Virginia tragedy the scene would be revised but didn?t go into detail about what parts of it would undergo change. Next, CBS has bought ?Kingdom,? a fantasy drama from director Barry Sonnenfeld and writer Chad Hodge (?Tru Calling?), with Sony Pictures Television producing. ?Kingdom? will be set during a time when knights ruled the lands and majestic castles loomed high over the country-side. The pilot is reported to revolve around four seemingly average young men. However, one of them turns out to be the heir to the throne. The series will explore how this new development changes the lives of the four friends, particularly the new King Lucas?who?d rather drink and womanize than fulfill his kingly obligations. Interview: This week, we talk with Colin Ferguson, who plays US Marshal Jack Carter in SCI FI Channels summer hit series Eureka. No episode spoilers here, but lots of fun. Colin tells us about the growing fan base for the show and for his character, some of the pitfalls Jack will have to navigate this season, and more. And go check out the chance to win a home energy efficiency makeover, inspired by the Smart House! Future Talk: We chat about two movies tentatively schedled for release on September 26, 2008: Nowhereland starring Eddie Murphy, and the remake of Roger Cormans Death Race 2000. In Nowhereland, Eddie Murphy is a financial executive for a major firm and finds himself on the downward spiral of a career meltdown. In the middle of this career crisis, he gets lost in his daughters make-believe world, which to his surprise is a place of calm and serenity where solutions to his real-world problems await him with lurid clarity. The only question that remains is can Murphy escape the imagined and learn to live with the same contentment and assurance in the real? Roger Cormans classic has been simply retitled Death Race for this remake, and features Jason Statham (?Transporter 2,? ?Snatch?, ?Crank?), and is being directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. Anderson (?Resident Evil: Apocalypse?) will also be helming The Rock?s ?Spy Hunter? and has written the screenplays for the upcoming ?Resident Evil: Extinction? and ?Castlevania.?

It seems that marriage and finances can, at times, prove to be a difficult mix, with partners having different ideas and experiences when it comes to managing finances. According to recent research by Abbey, joint bank accounts can prove to be a bone of contention between partners, with a quarter of all couples arguing over how the account is used, leading to mounting frustration, arguments and general falling out with one another.

Most joint accounts allow either person to make withdrawals on the account without the other’s knowledge. For many, fears that a partner is using the joint account to fund purchases for themselves is well-founded, with the Abbey research showing that one person in five have admitted to doing so. The research also shows that, although men and women are equally to blame for using joint accounts for their own purposes, men tend to be more suspicious of their partner.

The research also found that most couples are happy to use a joint account to pay for household bills such as gas, electricity and mortgage payments; whereas supermarket shopping, home and kitchen appliances and holidays were also acceptable areas for spending joint funds. However, most couples weren’t happy with their shared money being used to buy gadgets, with only one in three believing that joint funds should be used to buy items such as games consoles, MP3 players or mobile phones.

Steve Shore, head of banking at Abbey said of the findings:

How to recycle waste for profit is what interests me. Oh I know there are virtuous eco-system considerations, and you can also save a lot of money with computer recycling for instance, but it is the money saved and earned that interests me.

Recycling Kids

No, I’m not proposing putting them in the compost heap - I’m suggesting that they should be shown how to earn some extra pocket money. For instance, they can recycle can and other aluminum scrap.

For slightly older kids you can try recycling containers made of wood, and the palettes that bricks are delivered on to building sites. Remove the nails carefully, and make simple wooden toys that your kids can practice their salesmanship on. Oh, it won’t make them a fortune, but it will teach them things that will be useful all their lives.
