Develop your Goals
You’ve got to know what you want! To get the body you want, what body weight and body fat percentage do you want? The most important goal for now, though is deciding your goal for this upcoming weight lifting cycle. You must decide whether you want to build muscle or lose fat. We’ll only concentrate on one of these goals per weight lifting cycle. You’ll make more progress this way!

Building Muscle
For a goal of muscle building, you should concentrate on gaining weight each and every week. The faster you want to build muscle, the more weight you should gain each week. I recommend gaining about 1 pound per week. The maximum I recommend gaining per week is 2 pounds of body weight. We try to keep fat gain to a minimum while building muscle through our diet and cardio.

Fat Loss
For a fat loss goal, you need to concentrate on losing weight each and every week.The faster you want to lose fat, the more weight you should lose per week. I recommend aiming to lose about a pound of body weight per week. The maximum weight loss I recommend per week is 2 pounds of body weight. We keep muscle loss to a minimum through weight lifting and diet.

Over the past two decades, technology for hair care products has evolved significantly,
allowing the market to grow and offer a range of differentiated products designed for the distinctive hair structure and grooming techniques of various consumer groups. Silicones have played a major role in product development (1), in part because of their ability as conditioning agents for softness and manageability, but also because they impart shine. Superior conditioning properties are particularly
important to African-American hair, with its tighter curls and coarser texture than Caucasian hair, as well as its thinner, more variable and elliptical diameter.Because African-American hair also tends to tangle, knot and break easily, mechanical forces such as combing can easily damage the fragile hair,and chemical treatments such as relaxers
and colorants compound these effects. Soft feel, conditioning effects and shine remain key attributes to be obtained from ethnic hair care products, particularly for those who prefer to straighten or color their hair. This article focuses specifically on the needs of African-American hair and on new silicone technologies that can help formulators create
next-generation products that offer multifunctional solutions for consumers.
Focus on Conditioning
While the new silicone resin focuses on styling and maintenance by enhancing shine and straightening, another development in silicone technology can be used to improve hair softness and conditioning. Formulated in leave-on and rinse-off conditioners, an emulsion
based on a newly patented silicone quaternary polymer (6) delivers superior hair softness without greasiness. Its conditioning effects can also be documented by reduced wet and dry combing forces.

Pinnacle Studio 9
Easy, MORE Powerful,MORE Creative Video Editing

Video output hardware
Studio can output video to:
• Any DV or Digital8 camcorder or VCR. This requires an OHCI-compliant IEEE-1394 (FireWire) port (as provided by Pinnacle Studio DV). The camcorder must be set up to record from DV Input.
• Any analog (8mm, Hi8, VHS, SVHS, VHS-C or SVHS-C) camcorder or VCR. This requires Pinnacle Studio DC10plus, Studio AV, or another Pinnaclecard with analog outputs. Output to analog camcorders or VCRs is also possible using a Pinnacle Studio DV or other OHCI-compliant 1394 port if your DV or Digital8 camcorder or VCR can
pass a DV signal through to its analog outputs (see your camcorder manual and Chapter 12: Making your movie, for more information).

Terminology
Studio: “Studio” and “Studio Plus” refer to the editing software.
DV: The term “DV” refers to DV and Digital8 camcorders, VCRs and tapes.1394: The term “1394” refers to OHCI-compliant IEEE-1394, FireWire, DV or i.LINK interfaces, ports and cables.
Analog: The term “analog” refers to 8mm, Hi8, VHS,SVHS, VHS-C or SVHS-C camcorders, VCRs and tapes, and to Composite/RCA and S-Video cables and connectors.

Creating movies with Studio is a three-step process:
1. Capture: Import source video material – your “raw footage” – to your PC hard drive. Possible sources include analog videotape (8mm, VHS etc.), digital videotape (DV, Digital8), and live video from a video
camera, camcorder or webcam.Capture mode is covered in Chapter 2: Capturing video.
2. Edit: Arrange your video material as desired by reordering scenes and discarding unwanted footage.Add visuals, such as transitions, titles and graphics, and supplementary audio, such as sound effects and background music. For DVD and VCD authoring, create interactive menus that give your audience a customized viewing experience.
Edit mode is the arena for most of your work in Studio.See “Edit mode” later in this chapter (page 5) for a fuller introduction.
3. Make movie: When your project is complete,generate a finished movie in your choice of format and storage medium: tape, VCD, S-VCD, DVD, AVI,MPEG, RealVideo or Windows Media.Make Movie mode is covered in Chapter 12: Makingyour movie.
