Muscle & Strength - Work out information

When people first begin to body build, or even attempt to get into shape, they might think, how do i do this? or will this help?

well, i'd say that the best website to get all of your body building needs, and even dieting, or anything related to your body's health, is http://www.muscleandstrength.com

Now, at first you might think, "wow, this looks like shit," but if you look deeper into it, you'll find out about a moderate sized database with everything that you will ever need. On top of that, if you cant seem to find what your looking for, you could always check out the forums. Surprisingly the community is great! rather than being stereotypically aggressive, because of the extra aggressive hormones, and/or vanity.

Illegal Movies - Online

Quite recently i had sent an e-mail to megavideo.com and have requested them to remove some video clips. the disturbing thing is that after a month, there had been no reply.

In my personal opinion, megavideo.com should be brought down by justice, because they are one of the worlds TOP illegal movie hosts, even though they state that it is against the Terms of Agreements. However, what exactly have they done to prevent this? practically nothing!

From my understanding, most of megavideo.com's traffic comes from these illegal movies, but they wouldn't want to admit to that, so they most likely have an extremely small amount of people working to get rid of them. here is the sad part! megavideo.com could simply create a script, like Google recently has, to remove their videos, and automatically delete illegal copies.

Some people might claim this to be impossible, and indeed they are completely incorrect. using google can be an extremely powerful site, for example, if megavideo.com were really attempting to fix things, they'd use a simple script to remove the results provided by google.
Try searching, "megavideo site:alluc.org"
or, "megavideo site:nabolister.com"
essentially, megavideo could have removed every illegal copy from their servers in less than an hour!

So whats your opinion? should megavideo.com be caught for willingly hosting illegal content?

Please note that these are only my observations.

Underage Drinking!

Have you ever wondered how many people do underage drinking? or weather their are more females or males? well here is your chance.

Today while surfing on facebook through some random photographs, i realized that they were drinking, and were obviously too young, because they were my age! So this got me on a train-of-thought, and all of a sudden, poof! Underage drinking was entered in the google search bar.

The first thing i found was actually quite disturbing;
from :http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/quickstats/underage_drinking.htm
I discovered that in the year 2007, a survey of students from high schools was taken, and here are the results:

* 45% drank some amount of alcohol.
* 26% binge drank.
* 11% drove after drinking alcohol.
* 29% rode with a driver who had been drinking alcohol.

Essentially 45% of high school students who were underage drank! To me that is quite surprising, considering most of my friends do not, but on the other hand, on the other portion of people, they are always drinking, doing drugs and what ever you can think of.

If you click here, you can find the survey taken, and other links to different statistics including a 2006 drug usage analysis.

Another wonderful page that provides information on this topic is: http://alcoholnews.org/underage_drink.html
This page includes not only some statistics, but a bit of history. if you quite interested in this topic, you may want to go grab yourself a cup of coffee, and check it out.

After visiting : http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/AboutNIAAA/NIAAASponsoredProgra
ms/underage.htm

I found the content extremely interesting, and i quote from them, "Each year, approximately 5,000 young people under the age of 21 die as a result of underage drinking; this includes about 1,900 deaths from motor vehicle crashes, 1,600 as a result of homicides, 300 from suicide, as well as hundreds from other injuries such as falls, burns, and drownings (For references, see NIAAA’s publication Alcohol Alert No. 67, Underage Drinking." Even though statistically the numbers are quite small, they are still surprising and interesting.

Now after being engulfed by a pile of information, what do you think about "underage drinking?"
