Arcação!!
If you go to Brazil, you absolutely have to stop at the Bells Company Hostel. Even if you are not staying there, have a drink and chat with the lively owner, who´s name is Gecko, yes, like the lizard. This hostel is situated on the Praia (beach) da Arcação, which is on a little island called the Ilha da Santa Catarina which is in the southeast part of the country, about 12 hours south of São Paulo. The reason I say that is this: Gecko is great, the hostel is RIGHT on the beach, there are surfboards, body boards and a kayak just waiting to be used, internet and breakfast come with the room rate, AND if you are lucky, Gecko will drag out the karaoke machine and you can embarrass yourself as much as you want.
Chris and I arrived here on Wednesday after a long bus ride from Iguaçu with plans to stay for two nights. Two quickly turned into four as we met a great group of people, practiced our surfing and honed our karaoke skills. Today we board an overnight bus and go to São Paulo, where we will meet up with my friend Mira, who has decided to come down and meet up with us for her Spring Break. She will stay for about two weeks and we will probably hit up a few different places while she is here, including Rio and a couple of other smaller towns near it. After that, we continue to travel north.

45 Feet Our own private reef
(literally drop right behind the reef.. and watch out for a southerly switch)
Wind picked up to 20-25 knots and we are hiding here until it dies down a little. If I had know the reefs would have this much of calming effect I would used them more often. Once you get to Egypt you lose a lot of the indented protection of the Marsa and Khor anchorages and this is where you really need them as the northerlies fill in with a vengeance.
You'll still find calm days, but the weather windows are usually shorter than predicted, always have a ditch plan. We know fellow cruisers who had to re-sail hundreds of miles after they got blown out and couldn't make the finally destination.

6 Secrets To Mass Building Workouts And Tips On How To Gain Mass
Attention all bodybuilders, I would like to share some mass building workouts secrets and tips on how to gain mass with you. They have been extremely convenient and "worth it" to me, so I thought they would help you too. Let’s start with your workouts:
1. Don't pick a weight you are able to lift for more than ten reps, or less than five reps. Lift within 75 percent to 95 percent of your one rep max.
2. When you lift for mass, make 70 percent (approximately) of your lifts powerful and explosive. Meanwhile, the other 30 percent should be alot slower and more controlled.
3. Not including warm-ups, your total work volume should not be less than 50 reps, but no bigger than 80 reps.
4. In order to control the devastating effects that "lactic acid" has on your strength, you should make sure you are always alternating opposing muscle group exercises.
5. On your last warm-up set, there should be 5 percent more weight than you will be lifting for your sets, it should be one explosive rep. (This will make your first work set feel easier than ever! By triggering an incredibly strong signal to the brain, then making it recruit alot more muscle fibers than needed.)
6. For maximum strength, always drink plenty of water and make sure you rest at LEAST three minutes in between sets.
I also want to share some helpful tips about mass gaining with you:
1. Question: I want to gain a lot of muscle; can I do it without adding fat?
Answer: The answer to this is that it is very difficult to do. If you want a lot of muscle you have to be in a positive calorie and nitrogen (protein) balance for an extended period of time. This means taking in more calories and protein than your body needs to maintain its weight, and excess calories generally equals at least a moderate amount of fat increase. Optimizing your food intake by training and resting properly will help ensure that you are building as much mass as possible in the process.
2. Question: How can I predict my one-rep max without actually doing it?
Answer: For years, bodybuilders have been using one-rep max charts to predict what they will lift in competition. They do this because it's hard to keep performing one-rep max lifts due to the pressure it puts on your joints and the safety precautions you have to take, like having a good spotter. The most commonly accepted formula is known as the Brzycki formula.
3. Question: My workout partner is always on me to drink more water, but frankly I hate it! How important is it? Any tricks to help me drink more?
Answer: Water is extremely important. for good health and if you're into packing on the mass it becomes even more important. There are three major reasons why. First, when carbs are stored in your liver and muscles for energy, they are stored as glycogen. Glycogen is dependent on water, that’s why when athletes’ carbohydrate load they must drink significant water if they are to store the glycogen. Staying hydrated means your muscles will be full and ready to go every workout. Second, water helps regulate sodium and potassium which are located outside and inside a muscle cell. If water levels become too low, sodium and potassium become out of balance and hormones like aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone start competing, and the end result is a higher risk of muscle cramping!
4. Question: My friend said I should do some cardio even if I'm in a mass phase of training. What do you think about this?
Answer: Everyone should know that cardio is good, but not for gaining mass! It burns fat, but it burns calories, carbs and even protein as well. This will slow your mass gains down. There's an old saying about gaining mass that goes something like this: "Lay down when you can sit, sit when you can stand, stand when you can move around and drive when you can walk". Gaining mass quickly is about putting all of your energy into your muscle and the weights. Of course, if you're getting ready for a bodybuilding competitions, football seasons or strongman competitions, you will need to incorporate cardio (aerobic) activity into your plans.
5. Question: What is ATP?
Answer: ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, which in its best sense supplies your body with energy. When glucose is broken down in the body, it supplies energy to ATP. ATP stores that energy until it is needed, at which time a phosphate group “springs off” to release energy and leave adenosine diphosphate. The "ATP's" reaction looks like this: ATP > ADP + Pi + Energy
6. Question: Can I shorten the 3-minute rest times in mass training?
Answer: Yes. But even though this will decrease your time in the gym, reducing rest times won’t allow your muscle’s energy system to completely recover before your next set. Sure, you’ll still get great results, but for the best possible results, follow the "three minute rest in between sets" rule.
Well, there you have it – 6 secrets to effective mass building workouts and some helpful tips about gaining mass! Try them and see how they affect your results.- my bet is that you will be pleased!

The Prepared Pantry - The Key To Building Muscle
So you want to build muscle, right? Not only do you want to build muscle but you want to build it fast. Let's step inside your home for a minute. Pretend I'm the pantry police and I'm here to do a raid. What would I find? Would I find all the key muscle building ingredients you need to pack on solid lean weight or would I find a bunch of empty calorie foods that do nothing but prevent you from reaching your goal?
If you're trying to gain weight, the good kind of weight - solid lean mass- having a prepared pantry can mean the difference between victory and failure. Let's step back inside your home again. If you open your refrigerator, will you find flat soda and a jar of mayo or will you find live organic produce exploding with enzymes, vitamins and minerals? What if you open your cupboard? Will you find unprocessed, whole grains rich in nutrients or will you find highly processed, diluted, refined products with a bunch of sugar and high fructose corn syrup?
So do you believe every rep and every set is important to gaining muscle? You're right, they are important, but what about, every bite and every meal? Do you believe they are equally important? Yes, they are! If your body is so busy digesting and processing all the garbage you're putting into it, it can't possibly have enough enzymes left to digest all the proper food components you're consuming to build muscle.
So what do you do with all this STUFF that your body doesn't need? Throw it out! Do you think a runner will win a marathon if they did not eat adequate nutrition prior the run? Absolutely not, so why do you think that a body builder doesn't need adequate nutrition to perform like an athlete?
Half the battle to growing muscle and growing it fast is to be well prepared with the proper nutrition immediately ready and available for consumption. A bunch of frozen chicken breasts and raw potatoes aren't going to help you out either when you're hungry. An easy source of live and immediately available protein is hemp protein. All you have to do is add water or juice and BAM! you've got a power packed punch of nutrition.
Keep raw almond butter, fruits and veggies on hand read for immediate consumption. Having all the wrong foods immediately available are only going to result in poor food choices slowing your muscle gains down. Think about that one for a minute. Do you think you would be reading this article if the title was "Sure Fire Ways to Slow Your Muscles Gains Down"?
Nothing is more frustrating to me than to see someone call themselves a hard gainer. You know what? They're right, it's awfully "hard to gain" when you're on a diet of burger and fries! It's those last minute decisions that cost you. Your valuable hard training becomes meaningless if you can't provide your body what it needs when it needs it.
So how can you start building muscle and building it fast? The bottom line is that preparation is EVERYTHING. If you leave the house unprepared (since your pantry and refrigerator were unprepared) then you ultimately have to make unprepared decisions about what you consume. Building muscle isn't just about pushing around weights in the gym.
You can work out all year long and if you're not prepared to eat right when and where your body needs it, you can kiss your gains goodbye. I have never heard of anything being built fast without the right product or tool. So get the right products (proper foods) and get the right tools (being prepared) and start building muscle today!

Piet de Jong: Architect and Archaeological Illustrator
Piet de Jong (1887-1967) is described in this new collection of his work as “one of the great archaeological illustrators of the 20th century” (Papadopoulos 2007: xix). Although the focus is on the American work in the Athenian agora, de Jong started his association with the British School at Athens on Alan J.B. Wace's excavations at Mycenae. He then worked with Sir Arthur Evans on Crete, Arthur M. Woodward at Sparta, and Humfry G.G. Payne at Perachora (see the caricatures in Hood 1998). De Jong also designed extensions to the BSA Hostel and Library.- Review in Bryn Mawr Classical Review (David W.J. Gill)
