Another theory on the cause of running cramps says that carbohydrate depletion and a resultant loss of energy and build-up of waste products in the muscle leads to cramps.

A fully 'topped up' person should have enough glycogen stored in the muscles for about 2 ½ hours of activity. After that you begin to fatigue, the glycogen gets used up and you start feeling a little 'light' and don't think as clearly - a condition athletes call 'bonking'.

Over an extended period of physical activity you will inevitably get a build up of waste products in the blood. And the more you get fatigued and the less oxygen there is available, the easier it is for these waste products to accumulate.

And it's these toxins that are an important issue when it comes to cramping.

In order to get these waste products out of the blood, the muscle needs to contract and this process uses energy or ATP. Most people kind of understand this, but what they don't understand is that ATP is also needed for relaxation - and if the muscle doesn't relax fully before it contracts then it becomes more inefficient and you get a build up of waste products.

To compound the situation, in the process of producing ATP from carbohydrate, the body also produces lactic acid waste and it requires energy for this lactic acid to be recycled into a form that can be used as part of the energy cycle.

As we run out of ATP, the muscle gets less and less efficient, this leads to an accumulation of waste requiring even more energy and it will simply get to the point where it won't contract anymore.

It's for this reason that we recommend squeezing the muscle to re-establish blood flow before you stretch it.

In order to avoid this muscle cramp situation - some athletes take extra creatine because they think it will give them more energy. Creatine works to help with the release of energy from ATP - but unless you're very efficient at making ATP in the first place, then the extra creatine won't help as much as they think it will.

To maximise the release of ATP energy, certain mineral nutrients are needed and the best place to get these is from a diet high in fresh fruit and vegetables (particularly vegetables) and from specific supplements.

Some high energy sports drinks taken during an event can also help delay the onset of severe fatigue leading to cramps - but you have to know what types to look for . . . and that's a whole new article.

Australia Awaits Release of Nissan Gt-r

At the 2006 Tokyo Motor show, Nissan unveiled the concept version of the supercar Nissan GT-R. During the said event, the Japanese car manufacturer announced that the production version of the GT-R will be made available by the end of this year as a 2008 model year car. While the United States auto market will surely be graced by the presence of the GT-R, the Australian sector is still waiting whether the supercar will be released in the country or not.

Recent news from Nissan reported that the GT-R will be officially launched at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show. During the said event, the third largest Japanese car manufacturer will announce whether the GT-R will be released in the Land Down Under or not. Nissan Australia general manager Ross Booth said that he is hoping that the supercar will be released in the Australian auto market.

“I still have my hands up for the GT-R,” says Booth. “Hopefully, in the next few months we will get to know and put together a case where we can get the vehicle. I think it would be very good for our brand in Australia,” he added further.

Aside from the GT-R, the Australian auto market is also expecting to receive the entry of the new Nissan X-Trail, Micra, and the Dualis which is known also as the Nissan QASHQAI. “There will be a lot of interest in Australia for the GT-R, but it won't detract from the local launches,” Booth says regarding the entry of the auto models in Australia. “There is so much demand for information about the GT-R that what I'd like to do, if we are going to bring it in, is give an indication of at least when,” he added.

The concept of the GT-R is dubbed as the GT-R Proto and is the direct descendant of the Nissan Skyline GT-R which has captured the attention of performance enthusiasts. The GT-R though will be a separate nameplate and its body style is unique compared to other Nissan vehicles. Its Nissan hood resembles that of a Bugatti Veyron which only makes the GT-R a sight to look at according to some performance car fans.

The specifications for the production GT-R is yet to be announced by Nissan although there are words going around the auto industry concerning the powerplant of the supercar. It seems that Nissan will be equipping the GT-R with a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with transmission choice between a six-speed manual and an automatic transmission. The estimated power of the engine is 482 horsepower and a “track” version which will have the capacity to produce 530 horsepower.

With the sheer power and good-looks of the Nissan GT-R, Booth is concerned of the price tag which will come with the GT-R. “We need to be a little careful of the Nissan brand with the fact that you don't want to be selling cars at $200,000-plus,” said Booth. “I don't think the GT-R will be up there, but the reality is that we haven't got confirmation that we're going to get it and we don't know what the price or specifications will be,” he added.

Where is the hood release latch located on a 1992 Cadillac Seville?

I just got this car- when I pull the release in the car, that works, but for some reason when I slide my hand underneath the hood part, I can't find the latch. Not sure if my hand is just short or what. A little direction as to the actual location would be awesome.
UPDATE-It is not directly under the Cadillac symbol or in the center or near the bumper. It is on the left side in the corner, in case anyone else might have this same issue.
