Taylor, undefeated, is competing at the NPC USA National Bodybuilding Championships is Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday July 28-29, 2007.
Portland, July 26, 2007 — A Portland corporation, is sponsoring 29-year-old graphic artist Bleu Taylor, from Gresham, Oregon, in his first competition for the USA Bodybuilding Title.
Taylor, undefeated, is competing at the NPC USA National Bodybuilding Championships is Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday July 28-29, 2007. The competition will air on ESPN-HD. Taylor and his trainer, Todd Scott, will both compete in this Sunday’s competition.
Taylor started a family, a full time job, and initially decided that he was going to go back to the gym to getaway from the daily rigors of family life — even if for just a short time each day. A veteran wrestler, Taylor has always been interested in anatomy and the human body. When he’s not at the gym and pumping iron, he plays with his kids and runs an independent graphic design business
Trains 1 Hour Per Day
Taylor spends about 1 hour each day in the gym, five days per week — contrary to many who may think that it takes hours upon hours each day to train for bodybuilding at the competitive level.

“I had some friends at the gym that were into bodybuilding. I got a taste of it and fell in love with it. That was 2002.”
Taylor got involved in bodybuilding by socializing with others at the gym that were bodybuilding at the competitive level. Bleu started probing them for advice on topics like nutrition, supplementation and form.
“Tactics and breaking down the muscle. It was a whole new world.”
Three Competitions. Three 1st Place Wins. Taylor is Undefeated.
In 2004, Taylor started training with Portland ’s Shane Jack for the Evergreen Cup. Jack was a trainer working at “Jungle Gym” and a well-known bodybuilder and competitor. This was Taylor ’s first competition. Taylor took 1st Place.
Later that year, Taylor prepared for his second show, “The Seven Feathers Bodybuilding Competition,” in 2004. Taylor took 1st Place.

Taylor then took almost two full years to improve his physique for the largest West Coast’s largest bodybuilding competition, “The Emerald Cup.”
“I knew I had to get as thick as possible,” said Taylor. “So I hooked up with a guy named andre Scott. Scott was a well known bodybuilder in the Northwest, a national competitor.”
Bleu Taylor was now “living and breathing” bodybuilding. andre Scott was a dedicated competitor and only accepted the most dedicated students. Scott ended up taking over Taylor’s complete bodybuilding campaign from start to finish. Taylor took 1st Place.
Peers Pressure Taylor to Go National
Amazed by his competitive results, his bodybuilding peers wanted Taylor to compete immediately after the 2006 Emerald Cup win to the 2006 National competitions. Granted, the Emerald Cup is the largest bodybuilding competition on the West Coast. Taylor has just won it. He won everything — on his first try.
“I was feeling a lot of pressure from other bodybuilders around me whom all said that I was ready for the nationals, right then. But I was tired and my body needed a rest,” Taylor said. Taylor then decided to train for the 2007 National competition.
Taylor ’s new trainer, Portland’s Todd Scott, has a nickname amongst the bodybuilding community: “Shredded Five Foot Beast”. Taylor took this year to train with Scott who is also competing at the Las Vegas national event in the MIDDLEWEIGHT division.
Taylor equates the mindset of bodybuilding to more of a “church” mentality.
Taylor adds, “It’s not so much the time you do in church that matters, it’s what you do outside of church — applying and practicing what you have learned, said Taylor. “It’s the same way with bodybuilding. The gym is only part of the equation. Nutrition and activities outside of the gym are what really matter.”
“Shredded Freaks”
After some investigative reporting, I found that the bodybuilders are quite aware that they look abnormally big. Heck, they’re bodybuilders, right? A delicate topic, this reporter wasn’t sure how to address the undeniable first impressions of a 5 foot 1 man who is, frankly, huge. So, I almost fell out of my chair when I heard the bodybuilding community refer to other peers as “shredded freaks.” It was true. “They”, the bodybuilders, knew they looked ‘freaky’ and were light about the subject.
“If you think I’m freaky, you should see Todd Scott. He’s a real freak. He’s just scary.”

THE thin blue line in Northland has bulked up with a stream of new constables hitting the beat. An election promise by the government of extra police means that in June Northland will have 33 more officers than it did two years ago.
The Government promised 1000 more police nationally _ giving Northland the most new constables the region has seen so far.
There are 313 sworn police officers, helped by 55 non-sworn members spread across the region.
The election promise also allows for two more non-sworn members in Northland by the end of June.
Three of the new staff have come from Britain.

In the past month seven new constables have joined the force in Whangarei with three more expected early next year. They will be stationed at Whangarei, Dargaville and Kaikohe.
The new constables have left behind a variety of careers for a future in the blue uniform - including the navy, motherhood, retail, travel, farming and building.
andrea Quinn, a Whangarei mother of two teenagers, traded in work as an accountant for a more exciting job with the police.
“I’ve always wanted to do it and with the kids being older the time was right.”
Mrs Quinn was placed third in the national bodybuilding championships figure category two years ago.
She said the strength she gained from her weight training helped during the rigorous 19-week course at Police College in Trentham.
As well as the physical demands of the course, she found herself studying most nights to pass the exams.
Her efforts were rewarded and she finished second in the wing of 38 recruits.
The average age of the wing members was 30, with the youngest 19 and the oldest 46.
The new frontline staff will be eased into the job with a mentoring system.
Under the scheme experienced officers become field training officers, who are paid an extra $2827 a year to look after new constables.
The New Zealand Police Association scheme began in 2003 and has encouraged more senior staff to continue in the frontline.
and those keen to join the ranks in Northland keep on coming.
Recruiting officer Ross Kneebone said there were 22 people on the books who were seriously considering a career with the police in Northland and another seven were on the waiting list for police college.
