• Use mobile audio. I think audio books are just amazing. You can listen to serious nonfiction works, essentially going to university while doing chores around the home.
• Look things up. Need to do some research? Google it!
• Speed things up. Time-saving gizmos can leave you with more time to think, study, learn, and experience.
• Automate. Various features in our software allow us to remove much of the gruntwork that was formerly just part of working via paper (those of us old enough to remember building paper spreadsheets can really appreciate this).
• Communicate quickly. With VOIP, cell phones, e-mail, and other technologies that were either non-existent or too expensive for the average person a generation ago, we are now able to communicate with vastly more people in vastly less time.

However, use of technology can be a Faustian bargain. Or worse. While I don't have firm research to state absolutely that it's the case, I do firmly believe that most people are in the "worse" region. Let's review those examples again:

• Use mobile audio. Blasting your ears with the nonsense that passes for music not only damages your hearing, it puts your brain on idle and programs it with junk.
• Look things up. Just because it's online doesn't mean it's true. You still need to understand how to filter information, or you are just using another way of being disinformed.
• Speed things up. A big trap of more speed? Mindless repetition. Or mindless anything. Just because it's fast doesn't mean it's right. Unless you understand the process, speeding it up only makes you look stupid sooner.
• Automate. The same problems exist here as for speeding up.
• Communicate quickly. There is communication, and there is chatter. Think about the difference.

I've just touched on a subject that is fodder for a book. And not one that produces only a little thud, either. What's the basic concept, here? The trend today is to let technology replace thinking. Instead of doing that, do the thinking first and consider how you can use the technology to better reach your goals.

The main reason for this cluelessness is the unrelenting program of brainwashing. It's created an army of secondary brainwashers, such as the mudstream media and most of the people you are likely to encounter on any given day.

All of the mental clutter, lies, and obfuscations can trip you up unless you keep a few important concepts "front of mind." The problem in doing that is the sheer mass of disinformation being parroted by well-meaning, but brainwashed people.

Your financial problems are being created by criminals in Washington, DC every day. They are doing things like inflating the dollar (stealing your accumulated wealth), passing job-destroying mislegislation (like the Porkulus Package, Obamacare, and Sarbanes-Oxley), and generally seeing what they can do to drive us ever deeper into debt, despair, and dependency. If the word "slave" comes to mind, you are thinking clearly.

If you understand this is what they are doing, then you can be part of the solution by working to deprogram brainwashed voters. It will take a critical mass of informed people to stop the stealing. Be part of creating that critical mass, and help create a better financial future for all of us.

How can you do this? See the example in the following video. This video is from a 1979 interview with Phil Donahue:

Shortly after turning 50.

As with abs, you don't need a separate exercise if you are doing front squats. However, if you have enough energy you can do hanging leg raises for the abs and you can do one or two specific butt exercises once a week (not more than that, or you simply overtrain).

My favorite butt exercise (for supplementing the front squat) is as follows.

1. Place palms and knees on the floor.
2. Bend your ankles to 90 degrees.
3. Slowly lift right leg in a "kick back" movement, such that the bottom of your foot is intially parallel to the wall behind you.
4. At the same time your leg extends, move it in an arc to raise your thigh.
5. In the finishing position, the bottom of your foot is parallel to the ceiling, your right knee is at 90 degrees, and your back is straight.
6. Slowly lower your leg to the starting position.
7. Repeat with the other leg, and you have completed one rep.

If you do this slowly while squeezing hard, you should not be able to crank out many reps per set. If you can crank out a large number of reps, you are either one of the strongest people who ever lived or you are cheating. Probably, it's the latter. Don't kid yourself.

Rest one to two minutes between sets. You should do four to six sets. Don't repeat this exercise for at least 96 hours, or you'll raise your cortisol. Worse, by overtraining you actually reduce the lean muscle mass that gives you the look you want.

At www.supplecity.com, you'll find plenty of informative, authoritative articles on maintaining a lean, strong physique. It has nothing to do with long workouts or impossible to maintain diets. In fact:

• The best workouts are short and intense.
• A good diet contains far more flavors and satisfaction than the typical American diet.
