Now that Spring is here and warmer weather too, lots of folks are thinking about summertime and being at the beach or at least outdoors. Time to think about how you look without all those layers of Winter clothing. Time to get into shape!
Getting into shape for most means building up some muscles, new muscles. Your training is all about adding new lean muscle. And what "signals" the growth of that new muscle? Nitric oxide. So it stands to reason you want higher levels of nitric oxide maintained through extended periods of time. That's just what you get with NO2 Black. 950% higher levels than previously possible - sustained throughout the day! That's why thousands of bodybuilders are adding massive amounts of new muscle every day with NO2 Black. But just what is this NO2 Black?
NO2 Black is the first patented extended-release nitric oxide generator designed to deliver upper limit nitric oxide - all day long. It is enhanced by the patent-pending ACTINOS(2)- technology. ACTINOS(2)- was developed to increase NOS (nitric oxide synthase), the rate-limiting factor in the human body's ability to generate nitric oxide.
With more NOS, NO2 Black delivers upper limit nitric oxide for massive gains in lean mass, "in-gym" muscle recovery, and skin ripping pumps. NO2 Black is also enhanced with alpha lipoic acid to help you keep your muscle gains.
Just imagine yourself out on the beach or just kicking back in your yard and having people pass by admiring the new you with new muscles and looking great! With NO2 Black, you CAN have that body that you've always wanted! So, click on the link above and see just how simple it can be to get started on this new, improved, you.

The Rest Of The Story
Here's the rest of the Nick Adenhart story, with more details about the idiot that ran the red light.
Apr 10, 1:15 PM (ET)
By BETH HARRIS
LOS ANGELES (AP) -Jim Adenhart walked to the empty pitcher's mound in Angels Stadium where his son spent the last night of his life. He spent several quiet moments there, briefly covering his eyes with one hand.
The shock of Nick Adenhart's death early Thursday in a car wreck caused by a suspected drunk driver was beginning to sink in for family, teammates and fans of the Los Angeles Angels rookie. Adenhart's death came hours after his best showing yet in the major leagues.
Fans placed flowers, baseballs, posters and Rally Monkeys at a makeshift memorial on the pitcher's mound of the replica brick infield near the stadium gates.
"He was here pitching yesterday, six amazing innings, had a really good game," 17-year-old fan Rachel Watson said Thursday. "Today, he's gone."
The Angels planned to pay tribute to the 22-year-old pitcher before Friday night's opener of a three-game series against Boston in Anaheim. They will wear a patch or emblem on their jerseys the rest of the season to honor him.
The team postponed Thursday night's series finale against Oakland to mourn Adenhart, who was killed along with two other passengers in a car crash early Thursday in neighboring Fullerton.
The car they were riding in was broadsided in an intersection by a minivan that apparently ran a red light, police said.
Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, of Riverside, was driving on a suspended license because of a previous drunk driving conviction. Preliminary results indicated Gallo's blood-alcohol level was "substantially over the legal limit" of .08 percent, police Lt. Kevin Hamilton said.
Gallo was booked into jail on three counts of murder, three counts of vehicular manslaughter, felony hit-and-run and driving under the influence of alcohol. No bail was set.
Outside Angels Stadium, a pile of flowers and tributes grew steadily.
"No. 34, You are one more Angel in heaven," a poster read. Scribbled on a baseball was, "Now you play for another Angels team."
Inside the clubhouse, the team met privately Thursday to remember Adenhart, who made the major league opening day roster for the first time in his career after overcoming a devastating elbow injury and subsequent surgery in 2004.
"A lot of these guys in here have never lost anybody in their family that's close to them. I hate that this happened, but this is part of life. This is the real deal," outfielder Torii Hunter said. "That's why you've got to kiss your kids, kiss your family every day when you get up in the morning and before you leave for work."
Adenhart was killed hours after making his season debut with his father in the stands, throwing six scoreless innings against the Oakland Athletics. The Angels ultimately lost the game, 6-4.
"It is a tragedy that will never be forgotten," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
The rookie pitcher's father spoke to the team during its meeting Thursday.
"He just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity, thank you for raising his kid in minor league ball on up through the system in the Angels' organization," Hunter said.
Adenhart died in surgery following the accident. Henry Pearson of Manhattan Beach, a 25-year-old passenger in the car, and the driver, 20-year-old Courtney Stewart of Diamond Bar, were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Stewart was a student at nearby Cal State Fullerton, where she was a former cheerleader.
Another passenger, 24-year-old Jon Wilhite of Manhattan Beach, remained in critical but stable condition Friday and doctors believe he will survive, said John Murray, a spokesman for UC Irvine Medical Center. He was being medically sedated, Murray said. Wilhite played baseball from 2004-08 at Cal State Fullerton.
Stewart's mother said Adenhart and the others had gone dancing at a club about a block away from the crash site.
At the ballpark Wednesday night, Adenhart made just his fourth major league start and left with a 4-0 lead, before the bullpen gave away what would have been his second big league win.
During Thursday's closed-door session, "we were just kind of reminiscing about what Nick brought to the team, to the clubhouse," Hunter said.
"He was a very funny kid and he's going to be missed," he said. "Every time you come to the stadium and you go in that clubhouse, you're looking at Nick Adenhart's locker."
Adenhart had made a slow climb to reach the majors.
He hurt his pitching elbow two weeks before the June 2004 major league draft, when he was projected as a top-five pick out of Williamsport High in Maryland.
The setback dropped him to the 14th round, where the Angels selected him anyway. He had Tommy John surgery - a reconstructive operation on an elbow ligament - later that month and spent most of next four seasons in the minors.
Adenhart had a 9.00 ERA in three starts for the Angels last season, but Scioscia said last month the right-hander had worked hard over the winter and arrived at spring training with a purpose.
He was made the No. 3 starter as the season began this week because of injuries to John Lackey, Ervin Santana and Kelvim Escobar, all of whom are on the disabled list.

So Young, So Tragic
Last night I watched this young man pitch six shutout innings against the Oakland A's. This morning, the young man is dead :(
Angels rookie right-hander Nick Adenhart died early Thursday morning after a hit-and-run car accident in Fullerton, Calif.
The Angels said that Adenhart, 22, died as a result of his injuries after undergoing surgery at University of California-Irvine Medical Center. No other members of the Angels organization were involved, the club said.
Thursday's scheduled game against the A's was postponed. No decisions about a makeup game had been made.
"The Angels family has suffered a tremendous loss today," Angels general manager Tony Reagins said in a statement issued by the club. "We are deeply saddened and shocked by this tragic loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Nick's family, friends' loved ones and fans."
A man and a woman who were with Adenhart were killed and another person was seriously injured in the accident, which involved three vehicles. Authorities were blaming the accident on a motorist who ran a red light with his van and then fled the scene on foot. He was later found and taken into custody.
Adenhart was one of four occupants in a silver Mitsubishi. Fullerton Police reported the Mitsubishi proceeded through an intersection, when a van ran a red light and broadsided the vehicle. The Mitsubishi slammed into a light pole.
I feel for his parents, as well as the families of the people that died with him in this tragic accident. May they all rest in peace.

This Is Hilarious!
This made me laugh so hard I had tears running down my face! Of course, if you are not a big Neil Diamond fan it may not be the same for you, but it's still pretty darned funny :)

Spring Fever?
I've been lazy lately. I don't know what it is, but i am going to blame it on Spring Fever. I just don't seem to have the drive for updating this blog or working on discussions over on mylot
True, I was sick for a while there, but still, I just feel lazy. The fact that baseball season is here isn't helping any LOL
I love baseball. I love watching a great game on television, or listening to one on the radio. This year I shall spend lots of time listening to games I'm sure as I signed up to listen to my hometown team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, online. Between the Pirates and the Angels I'm sure to get enough baseball to satisfy my baseball fever :)
Hopefully, Spring Fever with all it's laziness will go away soon and i can get back to my normal routine. :)

Times Have Changed
When I was in high school, drugs were everywhere. It was the hippie era after all. The school I went to kept an eye on us to make sure we weren't smoking weed or popping pills or anything else like that.
Tonight, my teenager who is a Senior and should graduate soon tells me this. On Grad Night the students are supposed to show up at five o'clock because the school wants to have the students give a urine sample so they can check for drugs. I'm hopeful that this was someones idea of an April Fool's Day joke.
I know kids do drugs, but a urine sample on Grad Night seems a bit strange to me.
