Killer Elite has (Jason Statham/Robert <br />Deniro/Clive Owen/Dominic Purcell from Prison Break) Statham, a former <br />special forces operative trying to rescues his mentor after he is <br />taken captive. Stathams' mission should he accept it is to kill three <br />former SAS soldiers who killed a shiek's son the during the war of <br />Oman (for oil - what else). As Statham set off to kill the former SAS <br />soldiers, he himself becomes the target as a retired member of <br />Britain's Elite Special Air Service (Owen) is forced into action and <br />he dispatches his own assassins to head off Statham and his team. <br />Classic espianage thriller if you are into that genre i.e.: Bourne <br />Series, Ronin, MI 1-3, Hunt for Red October, Spy Games, Salt (Which <br />surprisingly was a really good movie), Mr/Mr. Smith, Columbiana (could <br />have been better).... If you like these movies you will like Killer <br />Elite out on Amazon streaming service - $3.99. <p /> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1448755/">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1448755/</a><p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Ronin" height="482" src="http://getfile9.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/bennyjonesjr/ViBTr3LsUNFx3hlZKqvIavY72uNyv1rUDoyIHL1XaUL98vOYjd9XGDdIJXpn/ronin.jpg" width="449" /> <img alt="Ronin-samarai" height="416" src="http://getfile3.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/bennyjonesjr/DgmWX0FSxpVDm1sWvuYAFAx3Si0dVgw0UCOEtMoggM53HiKIKUy9ZcQwamig/ronin-samarai.jpg" width="401" /> <a href="http://getfile9.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/bennyjonesjr/rupSvyr5scR10rtBu813vDFFKteS7ThwQocaaDFvQCkfSZmxp1Im2rIClmvt/killer-elite.jpg"><img alt="Killer-elite" height="310" src="http://getfile1.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/bennyjonesjr/gcmCYZ6TxkEyzr30GC9C3gQX2uLJhf8oowNmGyOVKTr1ZtJxziqJBGz88PCe/killer-elite.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <div class='p_see_full_gallery'><a href="http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/if-you-like-ronnin-your-are-going-to-love-kil">See the full gallery on Posterous</a></div> </div> </p> </p> <p><a href="http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/if-you-like-ronnin-your-are-going-to-love-kil">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/if-you-like-ronnin-your-are-going-to-love-kil#comment">Leave a comment&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo;</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WcAW3hlLgtxi2ubxkbxfZOoWQPs/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WcAW3hlLgtxi2ubxkbxfZOoWQPs/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WcAW3hlLgtxi2ubxkbxfZOoWQPs/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WcAW3hlLgtxi2ubxkbxfZOoWQPs/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BennyJonesJrLifestream/~4/KBXKFo84a9o" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/89087/bj-crop.jpg http://posterous.com/users/eT3OAXsuw9 Benny Jones Benny Jones Jr. Benny Jones http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/if-you-like-ronnin-your-are-going-to-love-kil Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:09:16 -0800 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BennyJonesJrLifestream/~3/KbFP2FCLLwc/netflix-ip-man-one-of-the-best-martial-arts-m http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/netflix-ip-man-one-of-the-best-martial-arts-m <p> <div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Ip-man" height="421" src="http://getfile7.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/bennyjonesjr/Om448ICtyALN0fB24WS1rDq27dMkC2I4gzMOeNp4JXH9YDlL8ZUTptgbRAIA/ip-man.jpg" width="452" /> </div> <p>IP Man a semi-biographical account of Yip Man, the first martial arts <br />master to teach the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun that Bruce Lee <br />later popularized is an instant classic. Aside from the the martial <br />arts scenes IP Man shows us triumph of the human spirit even in the <br />face of dispair. IP Man is a study in how to keep your dignity, honor, <br />and loyalty even when you backs against the wall. This movie will be <br />one of my all time favorites and if you like action (martial arts), <br />drama, period pieces, and movies that give you a reason to forward <br />this movie is for you. Note though this movie is subtitled but don't <br />let that stop you it's an instant classic. <p /> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220719/">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220719/</a></p> </p> <p><a href="http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/netflix-ip-man-one-of-the-best-martial-arts-m">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/netflix-ip-man-one-of-the-best-martial-arts-m#comment">Leave a comment&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo;</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6G46f4CYFESsIKlQu9hWck1wrSk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6G46f4CYFESsIKlQu9hWck1wrSk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6G46f4CYFESsIKlQu9hWck1wrSk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6G46f4CYFESsIKlQu9hWck1wrSk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BennyJonesJrLifestream/~4/KbFP2FCLLwc" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/89087/bj-crop.jpg http://posterous.com/users/eT3OAXsuw9 Benny Jones Benny Jones Jr. Benny Jones http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/netflix-ip-man-one-of-the-best-martial-arts-m Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:56:24 -0800 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BennyJonesJrLifestream/~3/DeFw4wxDaOk/pulmonary-embolism-everyones-at-risk-risk-lun http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/pulmonary-embolism-everyones-at-risk-risk-lun <p> <div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://getfile3.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/bennyjonesjr/qq84ZQunAe80gXa92lQBNyfOw8yBQ7wQaid72va5QvKLIYWVX3oJHR3E5UIM/lungs.jpg"><img alt="Lungs" height="311" src="http://getfile4.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/bennyjonesjr/VTkbHxfhwqAbkfYN6QcN5hljRyXS836K1YSbXPC2dYy2HXEhgIKMCnBQf5KP/lungs.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> </div> <p>A couple of weeks ago Serena Williams was diagnosed with a pulmonary <br />embolism and you wonder how could an elite athlete get a embolism... <br />An embolism Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of the main artery <br />of the lung or one of its branches by a substance that has travelled <br />from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism). <br />Symptoms include ymptoms of pulmonary embolism include difficulty <br />breathing, chest pain on inspiration, and palpitations. Clinical signs <br />include low blood oxygen saturation and cyanosis, rapid breathing, and <br />a rapid heart rate. Severe cases of PE can lead to collapse, <br />abnormally low blood pressure, and sudden death. <p /> A pulmonary embolism occurs after a clot forms in one of the large <br />veins in the legs or pelvis. The largest clots are fatal in 30-60% of <br />the cases. The main cause of embolisms is prolonged inactivity such <br />are during air travel or recuperation from surgery such as the case <br />for Williams. Immobility decreases the amount of blood that circulates <br />thought the veins, increasing the risk for clots. <p /> Hear a some things you can do to prevent embolisms: <p /> Wear compression stockings or socks on long flights or car trips <br />longer than two hours if you are overweight or at risk for clots. The <br />compression helps exert light pressure on the veins, which helps <br />crculate blood back to the heart.

As the workout progressed and the music <br />from personal Spotify play list (see below) picked so did my <br />intensity. My pre-workout meal consisted on medium sweet potatoes and <br />2-egg muffins (see facebook.com/activehealthywell photos) 1 hour prior <br />to the workout and Neurocore pre-workout powder prior to walking out <br />the door. My overall workout l intensity I would rate at 4/5 after the <br />initial set of DB Bench, I the energy and intensity kicked in combined <br />with the music made for a great workout. The 20 minute MetCon-Steady <br />state at the end added extra endorphins too. <br />Warm-up <p /> 4 min warm up on the lifecycle <p /> Chest & Back Exercises <p /> I performed a giant set consisting of the following exercises, sets, <br />and reps taking very little rest in between exercises. In a giant set <br />you perform exercises for the same of different muscle group moving <br />from one exercise to another taking very little rest in between <br />exercises – usually less than 10 seconds. <p /> Super Set Group 1 <p /> Pushups: BW X 20 rep X 2 sets <p /> Underhand grip Pull ups: BW X 10 reps X 2 sets <br /> Super Set Group 2 <p /> DB Bench Press: 90 X 8 reps X 2 sets <p /> Tbar Rows: 90 X 20 reps X 2 sets [45X2] <p /> Super Set Group 3 <p /> Machine Incline Bench: 180 X 15 reps X 2 sets <p /> Seated Rows: 200 X 8 reps X 2 sets <br /> Super Set Group 4 <p /> Dips: BW X 10 / Underhand grip Pull ups: BW X 10 <p /> Dips: BW X 10 / Underhand grip Pullups: BW X 10 <br /> Super Set Group 5 <p /> DB Dead lifts: 60 X 5 / HyperExtensions-Front 10 reps /Reverse 10 reps <p /> DB Dead lifts: 70 X 5 / HyperExtensions-Front 10 reps /Reverse 10 reps <p /> DB Dead lifts: 80 X 5 / HyperExtensions-Front 10 reps /Reverse 10 reps <p /> <p /> At the end of the workout, I performed a 20min HIT/Steady state cardio <br />routine on a life-cycle and not on a treadmill because I have bad <br />knees from years of football. <br />8 min – HIT= High Intensity otherwise known as Intervals where you <br />alternate; 1min High Intensity (200 watts) and 1min Low Intensity (70 <br />watts) <br />12 min of steady state cardio at 70 – 130 watts immediately following HIT <br />Post Workout <p /> Immediately after your workout you need to eat, drink, or both within <br />30 minutes to 1.5 hours afterward.

I always perform a 4 – 20 min warmup on the lifecycle depending on <br />what I want to achieve during that workout session. <p /> 20 minute warm up to warm the entire body and loosen connective tissue <br />and prepare the body for the workout. <p /> 2. I normally superset antagonistic bodyparts because (1) its a more <br />intense way to train; (2) it saves time; (3) push-pull movements <br />(i.e.: Chest-Back exercises) usually move blood from one muscle to the <br />other mitigating lactic acid build-up; (4) however you must be careful <br />that you don’t overtrain with this method of training. I am listing <br />the weights below to show that I am lifting in the 80 – 90% of my 1RM <br />(rep maximum) and that’s no small feat to do within 30 minutes as I <br />take very little rest in between exercises. <p /> Super-set Group 1: Chest – Back <br /> Dumbbell Bench: 2 sets: 90X10 reps X 2 sets <br /> Tbar rows: 2 sets: 90 X 20 reps <br /> Super-set Group 2: Chest – Back <br /> Incline Machine Bench: 270 X 10 X 1 <br /> Seated Row: 190 X 8 X 2 <p /> Super-set Group 2: Bodyweight Dips – Pullups – 2Sets <p /> That’s it and after I finished the workout believe me I am spent. Now <br />this part is very important. Immediately after your workout you need <br />to eat, drink, or both within 30 minutes to 1.5 hours aftward <br />something with 4:1 Carb to Protein ratio. Why? After a workout is a <br />critical time for growth and recovery as your cells and hormones <br />(specifically, Insulin one of the most anabolic hormones in the body) <br />are most receptive at that time. <p /> Insulin is a hormone central to regulating carbohydrate and fat <br />metabolism in the body. Insulin causes cells in the liver, muscle, and <br />fat tissue to take up glucose from the blood, storing it as glycogen <br />in the liver and muscle. <p /> This is a very important concept that I am not going to talk about <br />indept here as it is a very extensive topic that deserves much more <br />than I want to talk about in this workout post. I will revisit the <br />concept in another post however if you want to know more check out <br />Nutrient Timing by John Ivy et al. <p /> My stats: Age: 40ish | Weight: 223 | Bodyfat: 26.5% (59lbs) | Lean <br />Muscle: 164lbs <p /> Benny Jones Jr., Fitness-Weightloss Consultant <br /><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Media_httpwwwactivehe_dgbxk" height="500" src="http://getfile8.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/bennyjonesjr/EctmIlpBotCFevAjApJvxefxgxluudFjyesdnkCJfajpChAtihhFqordkhzG/media_httpwwwactivehe_DGBxk.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="375" /> </div> </p> <p><a href="http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/workout-chest-back-12611">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/workout-chest-back-12611#comment">Leave a comment&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo;</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GN_go74WB5Mgbx2s7uxI32OHHhg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GN_go74WB5Mgbx2s7uxI32OHHhg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GN_go74WB5Mgbx2s7uxI32OHHhg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GN_go74WB5Mgbx2s7uxI32OHHhg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BennyJonesJrLifestream/~4/5tmmBRG6Fk8" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/89087/bj-crop.jpg http://posterous.com/users/eT3OAXsuw9 Benny Jones Benny Jones Jr. Benny Jones http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/workout-chest-back-12611 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 21:06:56 -0800 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BennyJonesJrLifestream/~3/u1_9qUl_BgM/need-another-reason-to-hit-the-weights-diabet http://bennyjonesjr.posterous.com/need-another-reason-to-hit-the-weights-diabet <p> <div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Weight-training" height="225" src="http://getfile5.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/bennyjonesjr/UguFfUqNk0RCGleg9MUrW2PRx2Ww1hCtxPdS6ad1HI4c86VOIbEj7KtTrjYR/weight-training.jpg" width="225" /> </div> <p>Need another reason to hit the weights?

No Wack Demos (Yes I know there's a store) <p /> <br />The Show...I thought CNN did a good job not slating this as a charity, <br />hand-out, token, etc., etc. and I think Pius said it best (I am <br />paraphrasing) when he said you guys are intelligent, successful, <br />hard-working, entrepreneurs... <p /> On Soledad O'Brien...I have watched other BIA shows and Soledad seemed <br />to be fishing for something, her tone and body language seemed to be a <br />bit off putting - something.... Maybe I am reading too much into it... <p /> On Michael Arrington...Okay, wow - I read his blog post prior to <br />watching the show and he totally did himself a disservice. I am not <br />going to call him racist because he didn't exhibit that BUT he did <br />come off arrogant, egotistical, better than, and maybe that was CNN, I <br />don't know. According to his blog post he knows Black entrepreneurs <br />and business people so I am not sure why he drew a blank - STRANGE! He <br />has black folks defending him but I am not sure his actions are <br />defensible... obviously my opinion, I don't know him personally, maybe <br />he was nervous... <p /> <br />On Enlightment..The light bulb moment for me in the show was after the <br />Indian mentor (sorry I forgot his name) said, "I hired a white <br />pitchman..." That too me was not a stretch but a reality, fake it <br />until you make it. We shouldn't have to do that but the reality is <br />different than that those of us who have corporate and highered jobs <br />no that all to well. When you get funded, capitalized and reach ipo <br />who cares who the pitchman is/was... Then you do what you want a la <br />Tyler Perry... <p /> <br />On Entrepreneurship...The MBA in Entrepreneurship will never compare <br />to the experience of NewME with the direct connections, mentor-ship, <br />and demo-days, however, the one thing I do remember is that <br />Entrepreneurs connect people, process, and resources... They don't <br />build everything from start to finish they get people to believe in <br />their idea and passion etc... And that led me too to this <br />suggestion... <br />The Key...After the enlightening conversation with the Indian <br />gentlemen, Hank Williams had that Aha moment where he mentioned that <br />to be successful the NewMe entrepreneurs were going to have to help <br />each other... Chain is only as strong as it's weakest link so to <br />speak...The Asians are known for doing this within their community and <br />that is reaching back to pull up the next one and AA's will <br />undoubtedly need/have to do more so than any group - I think... <p /> <br />The Answer - maybe... <br />In my opinion, part of the answer lies in what Michael said which we <br />all know - EDUCATION!!! There is not enough minorities in the STEM <br />(Sci-Tech-Eng-Math) pipeline etc etc.&nbsp; <p /> <br />And...While a STEM background maybe the key to a good job in silicon <br />valley or elsewhere as entrepreneurship goes it maybe the ability to <br />evangelize, connect, and share your vision, passion, and mission with <br />others that truly gets you the funding a la Malcom Gladwell's Tipping <br />Point (Chapter 2: Connectors, Mavens, & Salesmen) <p /> <br />And...So I think funding the NewME accelerator is really the key to <br />getting more minorities access to Silicon Valley and VC's in general <br />because the more folk pass through and get that experience, <br />mentor-ship, connections, etc, etc the better that start-up will do <br />going forward AND it enhances, improves, the visibility of minority <br />tech entrepreneurs which presumably will change the mindset of the <br />valley and VC's in general... Yes, it may be take a couple of years <br />and by that time there will be a few minority owned start-ups leading <br />the way and setting the precedent... <p /> <br />Fund NewME and you fund minorty entrepreneurship. I hope you guys are <br />seeking investment/donations/contributions from HBCU's, Foundations, <br />and other deep pocket folk/investor/institutions... <p /> On who got funded... <br />I didn't put in any real analysis into who I thought was going to get <br />funded but after finding out I was surprised but not surprised... Of <br />all the startups, I wouldn't have thought BeCouply would have gotten <br />startup funding as there b-model from what I know doesn't enthrall me. <br />Keep in mind we didn't get to see or hear all of the pitches in their <br />entirety. However, after thinking about it further I could see how an <br />Angel/VC could invest in the startup. Well Pius and his girlfriend <br />both have excellent educational pedigrees (MIT) and they have solid <br />real-world experience at one of the premiere consulting agencies in <br />the US (I forgot the name). Now, I am not sure what ROI there is the <br />personal relationship space but match.com and eharmony.com seem to be <br />hanging in there. <p /> KloudCo, was a natural pick as a cloud player as all tech will be in <br />the cloud at some point or another.
