This 4 week elective will provide the student with a broad and comprehensive experience in the area of anesthesiology. The student will gain an understanding of the physiology, pharmacology, and coexisting diseases that affect the perioperative management of patients. Students will become practiced in various techniques of airway management and IV access throughout the rotation. Each student will be involved with preoperative evaluation, induction, intubation, monitoring, emergence, and recovery of patients undergoing surgical procedures; all under close resident and attending supervision. The student will spend the first 2 weeks of the rotation in the main OR, learning the basic principles and techniques of anesthesia. In the 3rd week, the student will spend time rotating on the Obstetrical Anesthesia team, the Acute Pain Service, and in the Pre-Surgical Evaluation Clinic. The 4th week is designed as an elective week where the student can choose where they would like to spend their time. It is during this week that a student can rotate at the Chronic Pain Management Clinic or Ambulatory Surgical Center.
Students will be expected to attend all resident lectures in addition to special lectures provided by the anesthesia attendings. They will also have an aggressive reading schedule; therefore, daily duties will end early to allow for this study. At the end of the rotation, students will take an examination.
Completion of clerkship in Internal Medicine or Surgery
Maximum: 2 medical students per month

In the minutes surrounding the passage of Senate Bill 24, Gov. Nathan Deal's solution to the "bed tax" dilemma, the sharp-eyed could – through the door leading to President pro tem David Shafer's office – spot a giddy state Sen. Jeff Mullis dancing through the anteroom, arms in the air.
That's how happy the new leaders of the state Senate were on Thursday, following passage of the Hospital Medicaid Financing Program Act. The bill, which now will receive the same railed treatment in the House, solves the sticky problem of legislative approval for a continued levy on hospitals by shoving the issue behind the executive curtain of the state Department of Community Health.
In fact, the contrast with Senate passage of the original "bed tax" in 2010 couldn't be starker. Three years ago, GOP senators tortured themselves over the issue for three months. The caucus split, and two Republicans lost chairmanships when they refused to go along – despite furious arm-twisting.
On Thursday, the official spin was that the no-muss, no-fuss, 49-6 passage of the hospital tax/fee bill was a sign of a chamber under new management – by Shafer, Majority Leader Ronnie Chance, and Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle.
"SB 24's large-vote victory was because of a New Senate Leadership Team that leads!" texted Mullis, chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, texted last night. The roll-call vote isn't yet available on the Senate's website, but among the "yes" votes were state Sen. Josh McKoon, R-Columbus, who voted against the measure in committee, and state Sen. Judson Hill, R-Marietta. Hill was one of those who had his chairmanship stripped from him when he opposed the measure three years ago.
Bringing the issue to a swift end in the Senate required a two-thirds waiving of Senate rules – and thus Democratic votes. Democrats said Cagle threatened that, if they didn't help bring the bill to the floor, he would make sure the Senate was in session today. He knew that many Senate Democrats had booked Friday flights to Washington for the inauguration.
A Cagle aide didn't dispute the tale. In fact, he underlined it as something that could be done only under strong leadership.
Aside from the return of a lieutenant governor to power and the debut of the Cagle-Shafer-Chance alliance, the passage of SB 24 also may be remembered as the moment when Senate Republicans rejected the "fiscal cliff" model of governance as practiced by their GOP colleagues in Washington.
Grover Norquist may be angry at Senate Republicans today. But he'll have to be angry at all of them – or nearly all of them.
Perhaps it will take a few days to sink in, but so far we haven't heard many people talking about what may be the most eye-popping passage in Gov. Nathan Deal's state-of-the-state speech on Thursday:
"Georgia has had too many school boards placed under the sanctions of potential loss of accreditation. While this is a very serious matter, it is somewhat ironic that the loss of accreditation can only be based on governance issues and not on substandard academic progress of the school system. Unless this is addressed by state legislation, we will continue to have thousands of Georgia's children trapped in underperforming schools through no fault of their own.
Intervention for poor performance would be a significant extension of state authority over local boards of education. A big fight may be brewing here – perhaps larger than the one over charter schools.
After he'd completed his pitch for a resolution in which the state Legislature would formally express remorse for slavery, I asked state Sen. Barry Loudermilk, R-Cassville, one of the most conservative members in the General Assembly, whether he had any interest in a 2014 run for the U.S. Senate.
"I have never considered that. It's hard for me to predict what's going to happen, but that is not in any goal that I have," he said Thursday.
Loudermilk acknowledged that there is a Facebook page out there, pushing him as an alternative to incumbent Saxby Chambliss. "I'm honored that people would think that highly of me, but in reality, there are only about 70 people on that page," he noted.
Attorney General Sam Olens sends word that he'll be one of the speakers at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta on Monday, marking Martin Luther King Day.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has aggravated many of his fellow Republicans again with his condemnation of a National Rifle Association ad that points to President Barack Obama's two daughters.
"Reprehensible" is the key word here:
"To talk about the president's children or any public officer's children who have — not by their own choice, but by requirement — to have protection and to use that somehow to try to make a political point I think is reprehensible," Christie, a potential 2016 White House contender, said at a Thursday news conference. "My children had no choice that I wanted to run for governor. I pretended that they did. I asked them what they thought. But in the end, they had absolutely no choice in whether I ran for governor or not. And they knew that, by the way, when I was asking them, which is why they didn't spend a whole lot of time answering."
The AJC's Politifact Georgia today takes a look at statistics cited by a group of college presidents, stating that "in 2010, 2,694 young people were killed by gunfire."

You libs are making a mountain out of nothing. The NRA did not show the President's children or call them by name and the issue is relevant when the Dems came out and savagely attacked the NRA for their suggestion to put armed guards at all schools. Pointing out the hypocrisy of the left and how there children are protected while they do not want all children protected is a legitimate argument. Get over it because the NRA made progressives look like what they are.

TD — The Republicans took over the state board of education in the 90's (she's in prison now). Then they took over the Governor's office and Senate in 2002 and started changing, by law, education policy — first by deleting Barnes' reforms, and then spending the next 8 years putting those reforms back in place. And, they created charters, tax credits for private education, etc.
At what point do the R's take responsibility for have zero affect on graduation, drop out, reading, etc?

Chock up a win for the Chamber of Commerce Republicans, putting Medicare matching funds safely out of the reach of Tea Party children. And it looks like the Deal-Reed influence swap to get a large building project in Atlanta in return for a good word in the President's ear for the port of Savannah project might work out, too. You know things were crazy bad there for awhile when you're happy to see the return of good ol fashioned back scratching and smoke filled rooms.

Jim, are you sure Gov. Deal wasn't criticizing SACS for the criteria they use when making accreditation decisions. A lot of people feel that it's wrong for school systems to lose their accreditation because the adults don't know how to behave, rather than the children. This was the issue in Clayton County, and also appears to be the main issue in Dekalb. One could interpret that paragraph in multiple ways.

IF Democrats want to save children, and protect their safety, WHY is it that every 94 seconds there is an abortion performed by Planned Parent Assoc. No one is talking about that. Also Obummer & Co. want to take away rights by incremental means. Registration is a slippery slope to confiscation. Some of the biggest bigots are people like Tom Brokaw, who compares this movement to the 1960's. He impugns the people of the South. The South is part of the U.S. Our President should uphold the Constitution for all Americans. Yes the gun owners are standing up for their 2nd Amendment rights. Americans of Color were once denied this right. The 2nd Amendment covers all Americans, Black, Red, Yellow, or White; including all regions of the U.S.

@ Elisha:
The heading of the blog that you cited DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS YOUR POINT and contains this statement from the President:
"If you've got a gun in your house, I'm not taking it"
By placing the word "even" in front of a statement, you indicate to the listener that you are referring to a moot impossibility. It is moot because it is not reality. For example, if I wanted to illustrate the impossibility of thinking that the government is after me, I might say:
"Even if I wanted to believe that people in power are out to get me, I couldn't, because I'm not a brainwashed sheep who ignores quotations from articles that I cite."

@ Aesop 11:48 If you want your children to be guarded by armed people, send them to a school that provides them. The NRA is jumping into something the NRA created. Read the transcript of O'Bama's announcement and you will see he was reluctant to safeguard our children by ONLY putting armed guard in the schools. Another example of the NRA and you having an axe to grind and only hearing what you want to hear.. You should have the integrity to say "nevermind" ala Roseanne Roseannadanna. What a putz you are!

Halftrack at 2:14 Tell me how you can square the local, state and federal police taking the 14th amendment rights against "unreasonable search and seizure" and eviscerating the Civil Rights Act for people of color, i.e. anyone who is not white.

Don't drive while impaired is the message behind the Automobile Club of Southern California's free Tipsy Tow service available New Year's Eve.
AAA provides alcohol-impaired drivers with a free tow home of up to seven miles. All you need to do is call 800-400-4222 and tell the operator, "I need a Tipsy Tow," according to AAA.
The service, which uses regular Auto Club-contracted roadside service
companies, is available in 13 Southern California counties, including Los Angeles County.
The Tipsy Tow service is restricted to a one-way, one-time ride home for the driver; passengers are not allowed, according to the Auto Club. Reservations will not be accepted, and drivers whose cars are towed more than seven miles must pay the rate charged by the tow truck contractor.
"It only takes one or two drinks to slow physical and mental skills that affect vision, steering, braking judgement and reaction time," said Auto Club senior researcher Steve Bloch. He said that the California Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies will run sobriety checkpoints and extra patrols to look for intoxicated drivers during the holiday period.
City News Service contributed to this report.

Thomas' OxyECA log by LeCheek Nutrition
Thomas' OxyECA log by LeCheek Nutrition
Thomas' OxyECA log by LeCheek Nutrition
About Me:
I am 31 and have been working out off and on for about 12-ish years. Maybe two or three times during that time, in 6mo-1yr increments, I took my workouts "seriously". Not as seriously as I am now, and by now I mean approximately 33 days ago.
I have lost 12.6 lbs in the last 30 days. I am currently on the last week of phase 1 of p90x, something I've never done before. My goals are to cut my BF% down to below 10% (preferably 7-8%) without losing too much of my muscle. I'd like to start (lean) bulking as soon as I finish cutting. As you will see in my 'before' pics I have a ways to go, but I'm making great progress so far.
I am also doing Intermittent Fasting (lean gains dot com version), with my feeding happening between 12 and 8pm. I typically do my workouts between 8-10am, and I take 10g BCAA's and 5g creatine immediately before my workout and 5g BCAA's per hour after until my first post workout meal. I have been keeping my calories between 17-1800 and 40/30/30 P/C/F, although I fall short on the carbs almost every day. Counting calories and macros is still new to me.
At first I was a little nervous about taking OxyECA when I first wake up because I won't feed for several hours, but after reading Laura Nguyen's log, I think I may be OK. I will start my first dose tomorrow at 7:30. It's not technically when I first wake up, but I'll do my wife a favor and see how it affects me after she has left.
Thanks for following along my first log!

OxyECA Black Day 1
Morning weigh in: 190.8
-Awoke @ 5:30, Taken @ 6:22am (post 2.5 cups coffee)
-7:36: Very alert and a little shaky. I'm not nauseas so I know eventually my tolerance will take some of the shake away. I feel like i could run a mile on one leg. I'm having my PWO BCAA's (10g) and creatine.
Oh, the pill burps aren't as bad as my empty-stomach fish oil pill-burps.
-9:14; Kenpo X is done. No nauseas feeling at all. I still have almost 3 hours until feeding so I'll take a protein shake to work just in case. I will also have 10g of BCAA's between now and noon.
The workout: I felt amazingly energized. On two occasions I paused the video to continue the routine because I felt like I needed more of it (the exercise). The last couple weeks I've been using a 5# weight in each hand when doing the punching/blocking routines (on at least 80% of them) but today I was closer to 90%. At the end they do around 120 fast punched back-to-back and I did every single one with the weights. Usually I drop them between 60-80.
Note: (I took a few breaks because I felt like my HR was through the roof. For me though, that's somewhat normal. I smoked for 12 years and just quit cold turkey Dec. 30. Up until Feb my cardio consisted of running a mile every few months on good years.)
12:30 I made it to noon without having a shake or eating anything. I never felt nauseas, nor have I 'crashed' (yet). I had to force a portion of my lunch in me. It's hard enough to hit my calories as it is, so I'm undecided whether I will take the second pill today. I have a huge enough calorie deficit as it is, and I get such a 'buzz' from my vitamin that I have to split it in half (noon and 2:30). So far I love it! I'll let you know in the morning how the afternoon goes and whether I took the second dose.
Thomas' OxyECA log by LeCheek Nutrition
Day 2
Taken 6:38 post 2.5c coffee, woke at 4:19
Weight: 189.8 (lost 1 lb) **I know this cant be from one day of OcyECA, but for tracking purposes I'm just keeping it real***
I did not take the second pill yesterday. I never really had a crash like I would feel if I had an early afternoon cup of coffee. I noticed my energy level was still above normal around 3pm.
My sleep was normal. I always sleep through the night on heavy cardio days (like yesterday) but woke up a little early (not related to OxyECA). Today I'm testing how I do with a lifting day (bi's/tris). It's also the first arm exercise (2nd total) at the gym since starting p90x Feb 4. It will be followed up by Stretch X sometime later.
Oh, I'm sipping on ENDURANCE BCAA'S today for the first time. (I can't imagine that will affect the oxy, but just in case)
8:04- Gym time!
Sent from my iPhone using my thumbs.
The gym went great! Still no funny feeling whatsoever!! I did minimal cardio, Bi's and Tri's, then came home and did my stretch X. It's just now noon and I'm not really starving like I typically would be since starting Intermittent Fasting.
I felt like I had an extra push, and It can't be from a PWO because I don't take any. It's been over a month since I've been in the gym, and it typically takes me a while to get going because of a double fracture in my RT wrist two years ago.

I just took my day 4 oxyECA at 7 and I'm ready to tear some **** up. Today is Plyometrics, so if there is a day where my HR will get pushed to the limit, today is that day.
I skipped the weekend because I just couldn't workout where I was at, didn't want to "waste" a pill, and I probably would've driven everyone crazy with the excess energy. Also, no weigh in until Thursday. My diet was horrible Sat & Sun and I'm sure i weigh 330. Next time I need to make a "go-bag". I love traditional southern cooking, but damn, I can't eat it in moderation. Better save those cheats for the holidays. I did still stick to IF, however....
Sent from my iPhone using my thumbs.
I was asked to bring this log here so that's why everything was posted in one day. I missed Sat-Mon due to a family situation, but I'm back to tear this up!
Holy HR, man. I don't know if it was the oxyECA or just my poor weekend diet, but damn! I had to take several breaks during Plyo. That was the most intense (cardio) WO since starting p90x 4 wks ago.
I just had my first meal of the day and I was definitely ready for it. That's what I get for the diet break. :/
Totals for the day:
1799 216/139/43 p/f/c
I may be adjusting them soon. I'm being told over and over my calories are WAY low. I'm dropping weight like crazy though.

OK, I'm a little new here. I've tried to figure out how to edit the name of this thread but can't... Help?
Anyway, It's OxyECA BLACK!!!
I'll post my workout soon. In case I forget, I'm upping my calories a little. Between 2000-2500 depending on whether I WO or not. After so many people that have a little more experience than I tell me to not fudge up my metabolic ________, I have to start listening. I still won't disappoint, picture day will be EPIC! I'll do an u[date measurement this Friday or Saturday.
In buddy look forward to your progress!
This mornings Weight: 192.6 (disregard the probably HUGE drop the next two days. Sodium loss)
Awoke @ 6
ENDURANCE PLUS BCAA's: Started sipping @ 6:50*
** I added a VOLATILE sample to the BCAA's
OxyECA BLACK: Taken at 7am
Exercise: Back & Bi's + Ab Ripper X
Today was the first time I've taken a PWO in gosh knows how long, but first time mixing it with the OxyECA BLACK. After yesterday I was a little nervous that my HR was going to fatigue me so quick mixing them, but NO. It confirms my suspicion that my diet caused my fatigue.
Today's goal will be 2000-2500 cals. I'm going to shoot as high as I can but have to make sure I don't stretch my stomach too much. I've gotten used to my small intake. My P/C/F will now be 45%/30/25. (If someone thinks this is wrong please let me know). My goal is STILL TO CUT! I bulk very easily usually and I expect that after p90x, when I'm back in the gym, that I'll gain fairly quickly. At least for the first month or two.
My workout felt Amazing. I was pumped and energetic! I wanted to do more! No nauseas-ness, fatigue, or anything close. HR was as steady as if I was only running at 5mph (max, if not lower at times.)
My WO was so-so, but it was my first time doing this routine. I still struggle with pull-ups but that will improve. Bi's were meh, but because it was my first time here and not knowing my stamina, my weights were off probably. That should change next week.
My workout log is below, and for whatever reason it saves in order from the bottom -> up. I have almost two hours until my first feeding so I'll update later if anything changes. In the meantime, I get to go drink some BCAA's!

Woke @ 6:00
YOGA X + Chest/Tri's
OxyECA BLACK @ 6:50 (post 1.75c coffee)
Formutech ENDURENCE BCAA's (1scoop) @ 7:30 (with my other sample of VOLATILE)
Gym @ 8:00:
3.7x1.5 (HR 168-145 @ end.)
Then I came home and did the YOGA X. My triceps were on fire!! I used to never do tris and chest together because I didn't want one to weaken the other. The exercise was killer though.
Someone asked if I was weaker from doing so few calories…. I really don't know. My bench max before p90x was 305x2 or 275x8; I've been doing 99.8% pushups only since Feb 4th, so…. Maybe I'm just not used to benching right now, or maybe I lost some???
My energy is through the roof, and my gym-pump was ******* awesome. I REALLY miss the gym….

Yesterday (Friday):
Woke 5:30
Wt: 190.0
OxyECA Black taken at 6:50 (post 3.5c coffee UH-OH)
Formutech ENDURANCE PLUS BCAA's started at 6:50:47
*No more PWO's* (for now)
Workout: P90X legs and back + Ab Ripper X
Ok, so I can't post my workout because my *****£******* phone messed it up.
Great second wind on legs and back. I texted Drewsicle saying my workout was below par, I felt winded (and had diarrhea, tmi, tmi), then out of no where BOOM!! Started adding weights to more exercises and I was doing more pull-ups (taking a rest between, but that's always been a weak spot for me). Lola's far as leg go; it's boring. It's good for me to not do heavy currently, but this is mostly cardio for me. Which IS painful on the legs, just not in the "I'll effing squat your truck" kind of way.
Energy level was high all day. I did do some shoveling of the pond yesterday afternoon, maybe 6-8 wheel barrows full, and did some yard work. Still no crashing, and my wife I loving the transformation. I think, as of this week, that I look the best physically than I ever have. I've always fluctuated weight, had guns at times and other times not, but never really looked "cut". I've as of yet never had a 6 pack. Or 4. But the top two are starting to squeeze out for the first time. I'm getting there....
TODAY (Saturday):
Weight: 190.6 (half that will be coming out shortly)
Woke: 4:00am
Out of bed at 5:45
OxyECA BLACK at 6:30
ENDURANCE BCAA'S PLUS started at 6:30
Today is KenpoX day. By far my favorite cardio day. I do most of the workout holding 5# weights. Throwing several hundred punches with that little weight makes me feel swole!
I'll post later today how it went. I wanted to go ahead and get this part up in case I'm rushing around. The wife convinced me to take her and kiddo out on the boat.

Oh, cals 2835 205/130/73 (macros ****ed, aka junk)
I went a little overboard, but everyone has me scared I'm going to lose muscle. I don't log extracurricular activities, but since I'm trying to shovel the pond I figure I burned quite a few shoveling mud and moving it across the yard this week.

Weight: 190.4
Yesterday I did the last 45 minutes of yoga x and some home bicep exercises along with AB ripper x.
I didn't log anything because my wife had a chore list a mile long.
Today I did chest, shoulders, and triceps; along with AB ripper x. And and went to the gym.
Chest extra
In order as written:
Reps incline the initial "push up"
*Incline DB press: 65x12, 75x8, 75x6
*Flat DB press: 80x6, 65x9, 60x10 (slow squeeze final set)
*Flat DB fly: (hold when open for 1-2s) 40x8, 40x7, 35x9
Strip sets of "around the world(s)":
1) 20x5, 15x2, 10x2
2) 25x3, 15x4, 10x3
I don't know what these are called, but you hold a single DB straight up while laying down and lower it over your head while keeping your elbows straight, pause, then bring it back over your chest still keeping your elbows straight. I'll label them BLAH and super set them with pull-ups. No break except to switch weights once.
BLAH: 50x16, 60x7, 60x4
Widex3, closex4, chin-upX3 (hold at top 3sec)
I still wanted to do more, but I've been working out for 2:30:00 minus the drive time. Gotta do something else today even though it's raining.

Yesterday's eats:
2204 cals
My macros weren't on, but they weren't off by too much. Counting macros is new to me and adding 500 cals to the day makes the juggle a little different, but I'll get it.
Weight: 190.8 (I can't believe I'm maintaining 190. I'm good with it though. I look better every day.)
Today was Plyometrics, and it was great. I started my 5g ENDURANCE about 20 min prior, but decided not to take the OxyECA BLACK until half way through because of last weeks feeling. I got the endurance tingle in the beginning, and the energy booster half way. It was perfect!
I'm not sure if i'll do any other workout today or not. I have a job to do at 11:30, so my feeding will be delayed a little. Taking that OxyECA Black a little later today might have an additional benefit.
Goal today is 2200ish again. 40%/35%/25%
I'll hit it this time. #TWSS

Never bad to have high macros now and then. Keep it up, once you find your groove you'll be able to keep it up a lot easier. It just takes a little time!

Weight: 189.0
(I'll do measurements soon. Keep forgetting until after I workout.)
Started sipping ENDURANCE @ 7:25
OxyECA Black taken @ 7:25
8:05 •••Today's WO: Back & Biceps + Ab Ripper X
It was a great workout. I felt pumped through the whole thing as if I were taking Jack3d or VOLATILE (or whatever; those are just the only two I've tried) but I'm not.
I added an extra scoop of Endurance for my first post-WO drink. My cheap BCAA's plain out suck. Wife have me permission to get more (yeah, it's like that) so I don't have to keep it at 1 scoop every day. I still will on day off's, yoga day, and if something is really light.
***Note from yesterday: I did crash at about 2pm. I laid down for 15 min and was good to go again. It was my first energy crash so far, but I can't attribute it to anything I'm taking right now because it hasn't happened before. It could be my roller coaster diet....
So far today's cals are already logged at 2196 •219/227/61• I threw in 1 cup of Cap'n Crunch PB to hit that and my fats are still a little low, carbs a little high. Cals will probably change by the end of the day though.

Yoga is GREAT and yes cheap bcaa's do suck lol.
Weight: 188.0
Today WO: Yoga X and (Andrew/Drewsicle convinced me to add a gym workout.) Triceps.
OxyECA taken at 7:11am
ENDURANCE Plus started at 7:45. It was still half full when I started Yoga and drank it during.
I took a second scoop of ENDURANCE Plus with me to the gym.
Yoga was normal, getting easier every week. Sometimes my balance is on, sometimes it's off. I do a push-up before and after every vinyasa, and I could barely do one after each two weeks ago.
Tricep WO was great. I was pumped the whole time, and my energy was through the roof. My HR stays slightly elevated, but isn't that the point? I'd guess 135ish consistently. But that's a guess. I didn't want to stop (again) but once I had to (again).
I'm not as strong as I was pre-p90x, but considering what p90x does I didn't drop that much:
Also, on that super set, I have no idea what the actual weight is. Here's what the machine says but there is no way it's that light. I struggled, and I can do way more than that on DB kickbacks during p90x:

Yesterday's WO:
Note• I felt great and pumped up. I tried hard to do more pull-ups, I'm just not there yet. They do feel better, however.
weight: 187.4
Kenpo X day
I love Kenpo day. Going to start trying to use the 10# weights for punches again. My step-son wanted to do a WO last week and I figured he'd have fun with this one, so I did portions of Kenpo on Thursday also (just when needed to motivate him):
Visit our website atFINAFLEX.com
Decided to do biceps before kenpo. The pics are in order, but the exercises are backwards. Bottom up each pic, no super sets, and 70 sec between each set. (60 timer + logging time, may be off).

A Charlottesville auto shop that gained a lot of community support when it opened in April is now at a financial crossroads.
The do-it-yourself garage will have to close its doors if the owners cannot raise funds by the end of the week. The Auto Hobby Shop opened with the goal of giving people supplies and a space to fix up vehicles on their own. Now it's scrambling to raise thousands of dollars to continue its service to the community.
After more than two decades of blood, sweat, and tears, the shop's owners are dealing with a dent their tools can't fix.
"I mean we got it going but we can't keep it going. That's the problem," said co-owner Timothy Smith.
The do-it-yourself garage opened its doors to the community on April 8, charging customers $28 an hour to rent out the space. Smith says dozens of people have brought their vehicles in over the past two months, but it's not enough to even out the costs.
"We have got some that come in regularly, but it's not enough to keep the accounts up to par, and it's hurting the business and it's hurting us right now," he said.
The shop owners' priority right now is to buy three lifts. They're working with about a foot and a half between the car and the ground, but a lift would allow them to easily walk underneath.
"People want to be able to get their cars off the ground, do their work standing up, not have to worry about sitting down or laying on creepers," Smith said.
The owners need to raise $8,000 by Friday to keep their business alive. Smith says they are hoping for the best.
"I want to believe there's a chance, because it's a good thing for the community. It's a good thing to help people," Smith said.
But he's preparing for the worst. "We'll end up probably closing the doors and hopefully not selling off the equipment to pay the bills," he said.
The owners found out about their bleak financial situation two weeks ago. Since then, they've been trying to raise money online. If you are interested in helping, click here.

CALGARY – With the collar on his jacket tucked up high, eyes downcast, Mathew Dumba wore the look of disappointment.
"Yeah, very disappointing," said Dumba, uttering no more than a handful of words.
The Minnesota Wild blueline prospect was one of eight cuts made early Thursday evening as Team Canada settled on a roster for the upcoming 2013 World Junior Championships in Ufa, Russia. Joining Dumba among the dismissed Canadian players were Frank Corrado, Laurent Brossoit, Daniel Catenacci, Mark McNeill, Ryan Sproul, Hunter Shinkaruk, and Tom Wilson.
"Obviously a lot of thoughts, disappointment's a big one," noted Wilson quietly. "Really wanted to play for this team."
Shaving their roster down to 23 players - 13 forwards, seven defencemen and three goaltenders - Team Canada landed on a high-end group that includes the likes of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Mark Scheifele, Jonathan Huberdeau, Morgan Rielly and Ryan Strome. Also emerging from the brief three-day camp were Brett Ritchie, Ty Rattie, J.C. Lipon and a pair of 17-year-old teammates, the electric Halifax duo of Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin. Cut twice prior to the 2013 selection, Kitchener Rangers defenceman Ryan Murphy was selected to the junior team for the first time.
The biggest question mark entering the camp and extending right on through the week, the Canadian brass decided on Malcolm Subban, Jake Patterson and Jordan Binnington in the crease.
Canadian Roster
Forwards: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Mark Scheifele, Jonathan Hueberdeau, Ryan Strome, Nathan MacKinnon, Jonathan Drouin, Charles Hudon, Boone Jenner, Anthony Camara, Phillip Danault, J.C. Lipon, Brett Ritchie, Ty Rattie
Defence: Morgan Rielly, Dougie Hamilton, Griffin Reinhart, Xavier Ouellet, Scott Harrington, Ryan Murphy, Tyler Wotherspoon
Goaltenders: Malcolm Subban, Jordan Binnington, Jake Paterson

Verdicts were handed down Friday in the death of two-year-old Jazmin Green. Green died in June of 2011 after daycare providers left her inside a van for hours on a hot summer day.
Before the verdict was read, prosecutors reminded jurors Green would have been 5-years-old this Easter.
Daycare owner Marlo Fallings was convicted of reckless conduct. Her daughter, Quantabia Hopkins, was found guilty on three charges, including involuntary manslaughter, contributing to the deprivation of a minor and reckless conduct.
Both were acquitted of felony murder charges. Sentencing is scheduled for May 2.

QB Robert Griffin III. Let's see, Griffin: completed 17-of-22 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown and ran 13 times for 138 yards and two touchdowns. He clinched the 38-26 win with one of the biggest highlight plays ever at FedEx Field (which has not seen a lot lately), the 76-yard sprint for a touchdown on third-and-6. Warning to defenses: if you're going to play man-to-man and blitz, you'd better not leave a gap free. Griffin executed the zone read game perfectly and was smart about avoiding major collisions. But I like that he'll continue to be aggressive, as he was on the QB draw for a seven-yard touchdown. Griffin could have had another long run, but corner Antoine Winfield came from the backside and tackled him. Had Winfield not anticipated the play so well, Griffin had a big hole – and only two safeties in a cover-2 to beat, with receiver Josh Morgan on one of them. It would have been interesting.
C Will Montgomery. I'll get to other blocks in a minute, but he did an excellent job on the 76-yard touchdown run. Montgomery and running back Evan Royster picked up two linebackers blitzing the A gap, clearing a lane for Griffin. Montgomery prevented linebacker Chad Greenway from reaching back to get a good shot at Griffin. Montgomery was solid throughout the game, save for a missed block on a screen pass and another time when he lost a block. But he did a good job getting to linebackers and in protection.
LT Trent Williams. He was far from perfect; on the second play of the game he failed to get any sort of shove on end Jared Allen, who then tackled Alfred Morris for a loss. Williams also had a false start. But other than that he had a silent and effective day. Williams was not matched up all the time on Allen in pass protection. By my count it was only 12 times where they were one-on-one. But Williams won all 12 battles. Allen never really threatened when matched one-on-one. That's enough for me. Also, on a key Alfred Morris eight-yard run late in the game (see below), Williams helped spring him by driving out the linebacker, right into a corner.
PK Kai Forbath. I'm going to (slightly) overlook the kickoffs because I do think they could be an issue on occasion. His hang-time is typically around 3.8 seconds, which is OK if you're drilling the ball to the back of the end zone with regularity. For example, one of the kickoffs by Minnesota's Blair Walsh lasted that long in the air, but went to the back of the end zone. One reason the Vikings had two excellent kick returns is because of Forbath's kickoffs. Yes, four were touchbacks but of the three that weren't, all resulted in possession beyond the 20-yard line, with two at the 39 and 36, respectively. Ironically the latter one had a hang-time of 4.2 seconds so you can't pin that one on his kick. But the other had a 3.6 hang-time, leading to a 45-yard return. Regardless, he did have four touchbacks and his first NFL kick was a 50-yarder that he nailed. Here's the thing: on his kick the play from snap to kick only took 1.0 seconds – the fastest it's been since Nick Sundberg was injured.
RG Chris Chester. He had the toughest matchup of the game, arguably, going against tackle Kevin Williams, who had been playing very well. But Chester kept Williams quiet. On Alfred Morris' 1-yard touchdown run, Chester pulled to the left and threw the final block that cleared the path. On a third-and-1 in the third quarter, Morris appeared stopped but Chester gave him, uh, a little help by driving the pile forward. It enabled Morris' second effort to result in a first down, prolonging an eventual touchdown drive. Overall, it's not as if Morris executed every block well; that's almost impossible. But he was solid and deserves credit.
WR Brandon Banks. His presence helps in the triple option as defenses must honor his ability to potentially get the ball. It opens up lanes. However, that would be true if they put, say, Santana Moss or Aldrick Robinson back there too. Banks touched the ball four times from scrimmage and gained one yard. He also fumbled a bubble screen out of bounds late in the game. I like how the Redskins want to use Banks and that they wanted to stay aggressive. But nobody fumbles more than Banks; not sure I'd want to put the ball in his hands at that time (they were up 11 with 8:02 left, but see the next writeup to see what could have happened on that play). Banks returned one punt for one yard. In fairness to Banks, he didn't always have a lot of room to maneuver when he had the ball and he's easy for defenders to bring down. So it wasn't always his fault, but the production wasn't there.
WR Leonard Hankerson. He managed two catches for 23 yards, but his blocking was not as good as in previous games. And in fact his missed block cost Banks a potential long run in the fourth quarter on his bubble screen. Hankerson tries to cut safety Jamarca Sanford, but fails. Had he done so, with Niles Paul taking care of Chris Cook on the outside, there was a HUGE lane available. The Vikings were in a single-high safety and a linebacker was in pursuit. But if the block is made, then perhaps Banks is the one with the long touchdown run. Two plays later Hankerson couldn't slow the linebacker on a negative gain for Morris. It was probably asking a lot, but it's what he's out there to do.
LG Kory Lichtensteiger. He's played well for most of the first six games (and has been a Stud twice), but this past Sunday was a tough one for him. I thought Minnesota defensive tackle Letroy Guion had a good game plan against him. After the game Lichtensteiger said Guion was tough to reach because it was almost as if he stepped back at the snap to be able to see and react better, and make him harder to reach. Saw something like that happen on a three-yard Morris loss in the fourth quarter. But it appeared that what Guion often was line up a half-yard further off the ball than his linemates. It wasn't every play, but it was enough and it made a difference in his ability to read the play better and get off Lichtensteiger's blocks. Guion was able to shed blocks – I did see one time where 'Steiger got a little too upright because he needed another step to get there — and get in on the play, one reason he registered a season-best five tackles (a third of his season total), including three solo stops. The first time I saw Guion shed a block came because his first step was lateral. 'Steiger had his share of good blocks – did an excellent job turning his man inside on Griffin's QB draw for a touchdown. But Guion won the matchup.
…Running back Alfred Morris only finished with 47 yards against one of the tougher units to run against. Three of his carries lost yards (for a combined negative-10 yards). But Morris had enough consistent runs to remain a threat and two of his plays were under the radar – but pivotal. The first occurred on the 90-yard touchdown drive when he gained nine yards on second and 14 from the Redskins' 7-yard line. Morris slipped the grab of one lineman at the 11, and spun off linebacker Chad Greenway for two more yards. That set up a manageable third and 4, which the Redskins converted. The other play occurred right before Griffin's 76-yard touchdown run. Morris took a pitch and ran around left end and patiently waited for a hole to open. Running full speed, he sucked a defender inside with a quick jab, as receiver Joshua Morgan blocked him and then sped past (getting help from Williams on his block). Morris gained three yards after contact and eight overall. His eight-yard run again set them up in third and manageable.
…Another key on Griffin's 76-yard run: The Redskins used a bunch formation to the right and one receiver to the left. Because the Vikings were in man coverage and had a single-high safety that meant only one defender was on that side of the field when Griffin broke through the line. Three defensive backs were on the other side and the safety was at the 43-yard line – and in the middle – when Griffin started upfield. He was easy for Griffin to elude, just by cutting outside thanks to Morgan's block on the corner.
…Griffin does get extra cautious with the ball at times, which is why he only has two interceptions (but only five touchdown passes). There have been several big plays that could have been made had he been a little more decisive, throws that you'd think he'll eventually make. It has to be a big reason why coaches are excited about the future. They're scoring, yet leaving some big plays on the field too. The play against Atlanta in which he got hurt would have been a touchdown had he thrown the ball. And this past week in the second quarter he opted to throw a swing pass to Brandon Banks in the flat rather than hit Fred Davis downfield. The Vikings were in a cover-2 and the corner to that side had dropped about 10 yards deep. He was a good 10 yards from Davis as he broke wide open over the middle (Hankerson was running down the seam to occupy the safety on that side). Griffin appeared ready to throw (there was pressure backside, but he still had time) then pulled it back and opted for Banks instead. The Redskins would have been down around the 15-yard line; instead they settled for a field goal.
…Vikings corner Antoine Winfield is a personal favorite, not just because he's an ex-Buckeye, though that's why I liked him initially. But it's because he's very, very tough. How much so? I haven't seen Niles Paul miss a block like he did in the second quarter. Winfield knocked him aside. Winfield played fast – his anticipation skills were outstanding — and physical all game; haven't seen a corner play that well against the Redskins this season.
…When you're not getting opportunities you have to make the most of those that occur. Dez Briscoe did not, dropping a ball right in his mitts. I'm sure it's tough to stay sharp when you're not getting much action in games, but you get more chances when you make plays. He had a chance to make one and didn't. The Redskins still scored a touchdown on the series and still managed to win or else Briscoe would have been a Dud just for this drop.
…The Redskins used their triple option look eight times. In this case, I'm just talking about when Banks lines up behind Griffin. There are times when the Redskins run a zone read in which Banks is aligned for a potential bubble screen. In essence that's comparable to what he's doing when behind Griffin and flares out to the flat. Anyway, on these eight plays the Redskins gained 59 yards – and would have had probably another 20 had Dez Briscoe not dropped a pass. Still, more than seven yards a play is a darn good average.
…Some of the triple-option looks really stood out. The first one that did so was the 16-yard pass to tight end Fred Davis. When Griffin fakes the handoff to Morris, one linebacker freezes in the hole, end Jared Allen engages a blocker but does not penetrate and another linebacker flows with Brandon Banks, running left out of the backfield. The linebacker in the hole stays there, waiting to see if Griffin is going to run. He doesn't. Instead, he pulls up and throws to Davis on a deep in. Tough to defend.
…Another triple option play – love watching this – was the 15-yard run by Morris. Why did it work? Because Winfield and the outside linebacker both started to their left following Banks and Griffin. But Griffin handed the ball to Morris and because there was no linebacker in that spot, once Montgomery sealed the middle linebacker, aligned on the other side, the hole was big. In fact, the outside linebacker was still staring at Griffin as Morris is two yards past the line.
…Tight ends Logan Paulsen and Davis blocked Allen a combined eight times in protection. In some cases it occurs out of the zone read look; the line helps sell the play by slanting to the right, which means Williams is not responsible for Allen. A tight end often comes from the backside to block him.

The $1.1 billion air hub sprawls across the equivalent of more than 80 football fields, holds 17,000 conveyors that can handle 304,000 packages an hour, houses computers that process nearly 1 million transactions a minute, and serves as a linchpin for a $33 billion business that has become the world's largest package-delivery company.
At its operational heart is one woman: Jovita Carranza.
As vice president of UPS Air Operations in Louisville, Kentucky, Ms. Carranza is responsible for the day-to-day management of the 4-million-square-foot, state-of-the-art international package-processing facility known as UPS Worldport that is the centerpiece of UPS' global distribution network.
Far from her start with the company as a part-time, night-shift hub clerk in Los Angeles in 1976, Ms. Carranza who was named to her current position a year ago this month and is the company's highest-ranking Hispanic female executive now oversees more than half of UPS' 25,000 employees in Louisville and every aspect of the hub operation from technology, engineering and brokerage to ground support, human resources and security.
Ms. Carranza's corporate achievements, determination, drive, innovation and leadership in business have earned her selection as the 2nd annual recipient of Hispanic Business Magazine's Woman of the Year Award from among this year's roster of Top 25 Elite Women, reflecting the nation's most influential and accomplished Hispanic women in the business and entrepreneurial arenas.
More apt to focus on the accomplishments of her team at UPS than on her own achievements, Ms. Carranza, who grew up in Chicago's inner city in a first-generation Mexican-American family that did not speak English, credits her parents with inspiring her commitment and determination to overcome any obstacle and take every opportunity that came her way. "They weren't perfect, but they strived to improve every day," she says. "My father was not a corporate employee, but the level of responsibility that he did have he took very seriously."
And opportunities for responsibility quickly began to come Ms. Carranza's way after she joined UPS. While she initially viewed it as a job to help make ends meet as a single mother attending college, within four months she had been named to a supervisory position for the company's Metro Los Angeles hub operations and human resources.
"The one error that people make early on in their careers is that they're very selective about opportunities so they avoid some, prefer others," she says. "I always accepted all opportunities that presented themselves because from each one you can learn something, and they serve as a platform for future endeavors."
More opportunities, along with the company's team-driven and diverse corporate culture, convinced her to stay. UPS, which has more than 370,000 employees, champions teamwork, diversity and promoting from within. The company says minorities make up more than 33 percent of its 330,000 U.S. employees and hold more than 27 percent of the company's 50,000 U.S. executive positions.
As Ms. Carranza's career progressed, her responsibilities continued to broaden. By 1985, Ms. Carranza was the workforce planning manager in Metro LA. By 1987, she was district human resources manager based in Central Texas. By 1990 she had accepted a move to district human resources manager in Illinois. She received her first operations assignment, as division manager for hub, package and feeder operations, in Illinois in 1991. Two years later, she said yes to becoming district operations manager in Miami. In 1996, she accepted the same role in Wisconsin.
By 1999, Ms. Carranza's progressive successes led UPS to promote her to manager of the Americas Region, established in 1989 and now serving more than 50 countries and territories in the region. There, Ms. Carranza was responsible for UPS operations in Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and the Virgin Islands.
"If I had been selective initially, I would not have experienced such a plethora of new relationships, new business models, new worksites, different dynamics," she says.
By 2000, she accepted the role as region manager, International Operations, Miami, becoming the first female international region president in the company's history and the highest-ranking Hispanic female in the company. There, Ms. Carranza quickly moved to expand UPS in Latin America, looking for local partners everywhere from Brazil and Argentina to the Dominican Republic. She was responsible for overseeing all UPS operations in the Americas region, one of the fastest-growing regions for the company, which had acquired Challenge Air Cargo's assets and routes to become the largest express and air cargo company in Latin America.
Upon his retirement, outgoing region head Robert Elizondo praised Ms. Carranza's strong leadership. "Her knowledge of the transportation industry, commitment to consensus-building and dedication to the company will ensure UPS continues to thrive in the region," he said at the time.
Ms. Carranza's career has generally paralleled the growth of UPS over the past quarter century. From 1975 to 1980, UPS expanded into new territories, becoming the first package-delivery company to serve every address in the 48 contiguous United States. With airline deregulation in the 1980s, UPS began its own airline to ensure delivery reliability. At the same time, the company expanded internationally, linking the U.S. and six European nations in 1985 and establishing a presence in a growing number of countries and territories in the Americas, Eastern and Western Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Pacific Rim.
By 1993, when Ms. Carranza was in Miami, UPS was delivering 11.5 million packages and documents a day for more than one million regular customers. With such volume, UPS had to develop new technology to maintain efficiency, customer service and price competitiveness. By 2000, UPS Worldport, the largest capital project in UPS history, was completed after three years of construction, automating express-package sorting with advanced customized technology that streamlines efficiencies. Production capacity is up with potential to expand to meet future growth and operating costs are down.
It is the daily operation of this technological behemoth that Ms. Carranza who found time during her career progression to complete a Master's of Business Administration for Executives degree program at the University of Miami now presides over.
Since her company is a 24/7 operation, Ms. Carranza is virtually always on call. She starts her day at home at 5 a.m., listening to voicemail messages and reports about overnight operations, and is in the office by 7:30 a.m. Her time is tightly packed with meetings, one-on-one interactions, business-plan reviews, cost reviews, and fielding myriad issues, though throughout her career she has found a way to be involved in community service organizations from National Council of La Raza and the Library Foundation Board in Louisville to Boy Scouts of America and Junior Achievement.
She says plans are for the hub to gradually expand, but her key immediate goals are identifying new efficiencies, cost-containment, fully-maximizing automation and continuously boosting the abilities of her team; "It's an obligation - we have to develop the people," she says.
It has been important, she says, to surround herself with capable, skilled employees who are loyal to the company and committed to results; her direct-reporting team of eight can call at any time of the day or night or weekends. "I can rely on my staff to stay on top of what they have responsibility for. … and it's that trust factor that keeps you driven," she says. "You can call on anyone at any time and it would be rare for them to say they can't make it right now."
Ms. Carranza, who says she has "total reliance on the coordination of her team for execution," also still visits worksites, interacting with front-line workers who she says she remains sensitive to because she remembers well her own days loading packages. "One of my MOs is to sit back and listen and observe," she says. "You learn more by not speaking. Intelligent people learn from their own experiences; with wisdom, you learn from other people's mistakes. I'm very methodical about that."
And she says her background plays a role in the importance she places on employees and the success she has achieved. "The fact that as a woman you have multiple diversities, personal and professional, I believe it prepares you to deal with the workforce environment in what it offers in diversity," she says. "I am very adaptable, patient, observant, flexible. I tend to be a listener … I value the input of the staff and the front-line employees."
After nearly three decades at the company, it is this teamwork, interaction and staff-development that Ms. Carranza says may be one of the achievements of which she is proudest. "Being instrumental in the development of the next leaders in the organization," she says. "Because that takes focus, determination and sincerity to perpetuate the UPS culture and enhance it through people."
Now, looking back to 28 years ago when she was loading packages at the UPS hub in Los Angeles, Ms. Carranza says she never envisioned how her willingness to accept opportunity and refuse to bend to obstacles would eventually lead her to her current position. But her philosophy illuminates the drive that has motivated her.
"Playing a small role doesn't benefit or serve anyone," she says. "Not yourself, your employer, your family, your peers, your constituents. … Striving for an always higher level is better for the world."

Map to Queen of Sheba Chapel Hill
Dining in Ethiopia is characterized by the ritual of breaking injera and eating from the same plate, signifying the bonds of loyalty and friendship. The quintessence of those bonds is often demonstrated in the form of gursha – that is, the placing of food in the mouth of another diner from one's own hand.
Injera, the traditional bread made of teff, is an iron and calcium-rich grain grown in Ethiopia. This means you and your dining companions enjoy a tasty protein rich food with injera. When you dine at Sheba's, you and your friends and family will receive your meal on a platter with injera which is a large crepe-like flat bread upon which the various stew-like dishes are served. The traditional way of eating is with ones fingers, which is in itself a delicate art. In this manner, a bite-sized piece of injera is broken off to pick up a mouthful of the chosen dish. For diners who prefer not to follow the Ethiopian tradition of eating with one's hands, Sheba's gladly offers knives and forks upon request.
Queen of Sheba's dishes are characterized by the variety of spices used to give them their exotic taste. Watt, which is a stew-like dish, comes in a variety of forms – beef, lamb, chicken, and vegetables. These range from hotly spiced (with berbere, a typical Ethiopian red pepper) to very mild. The more delicately seasoned watts are called "alicha," which contain no berbere. Fitfit or Sifinfin, another exotic staple, is a combination dish prepared with broken bits of injera. Tibbs is pan-fried meat, fish, shrimp, lamb, or vegetables. Nitter kebbeh, a specially prepared butter, is the key ingredient used for meat dishes to give them their unique flavor.
Many new comers to Ethiopian food expect it to be extra hot and spicy. With the exception of Yemesa Red Gett, the dishes served are delightfully fragrant with spices that are neither hot nor spicy. You, your family and friends will enjoy these flavors and the comfortable friendly atmoshpere that makes Sheba's a great place for all kinds of gatherings from a quiet, romantic first date to a gathering for a Girl's Night Out to a place to bring your kids for a nutritious and delicious meal.
Vegetarian dishes are also a staple of our cuisine, especially during lent, a period of fifty-five days before Easter. Ethiopian Orthodox Christians are prohibited from eating all meat and meat by-products such as milk, cheese, and butter during this time. Yet the variety of watts and other dishes made with lentils, peas, flax, and other vegetables are just as wonderful and tasty as those containing meats.
Plan to create your own rituals with the special food offered at Queen of Sheba's restaurant in Chapel Hill. The food and proprietor, Friesh, will delight you every time!
We appreciate your business and love our customers. 20% gratuity applies to groups of 6 or more.

MP MAX® Peanut Butter is a great tasting and natural source of healthy protein, carbohydrates and fats made from 100% peanuts with nothing else added or taken away!
MP MAX® Peanut Butter is also a good source of protein, extremely calorie dense and offers a source of vitamin E and magnesium. Adequate magnesium in the diet contributes to several beneficial properties including reducing tiredness and fatigue, and maintaining normal protein function and muscle synthesis.
The peanuts used in MP MAX® Peanut Butter are roasted in their natural brown skins before being ground to a delicious texture. Absolutely nothing else is added to the resulting peanut butter, making this a natural and healthy choice free from added salt, sugar and palm oil.
The heart healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats within MP MAX® Peanut Butter make it a great snack for those concerned with maintaining a balanced diet. MP MAX Peanut Butter is ideal to add to shakes, as a spread or cooking agent. Available in crunchy and smooth.
Peanut butter is an ideal spread to add to snacks such as rice cakes, crackers, wholegrain toast and also to fruits such as apples and bananas. You can also get creative with your protein shakes by adding a spoonful of peanut butter to give that fantastic nutty flavour with all the nutritional benefits.

The Peanut is lovely but alittle watery needs mixing well before using
A lot different from your supermarket peanut butter, a lot more liquified ,but great taste,you can tell it has nothing added to it,great size tub for the price,very moreish !Goes Well With:oat cakes,porridge,anything you like !
This is my second tub of this it's the best I've tasted I use for making protein bars and mixing in shakes great product great price great company thanks my protein keep up the great work
I am a huge fan of peanut butter so this was the healty option compared to all the supermarket ones. However the product tends to be quite liquid so when I first opened the can I ended up spilling some bits over my backpack and such. The taste is good and overall I am happy with the purchase.Goes Well With:a shake
This wasn't my first MyProtein butter purchased; I already used Almond Butter and the peanut it's as good as that one, if not better. You can consume it with almost anything (bananas, berries, greek yoghurt, pancakes, etc.); imagination it's the limit. I can hardly wait for my future order to include it again!
very tasty not much difference from ones in shop,will be part of my shopping list.
I have tried many peanut better before and nothing compares to this one, its one of the best also my favorite. I normally finish a tab within a week yup am addicted to it. it does hold the belly as well for anyone wanting to manage there weight this will get you though the day.Goes Well With:goes well with everything I normally put it in my porridge
Amazing product! Tastes fantastic, quality and quantity both spot on! No added sugars etc, just 100% tasty peanut butter! The only negative thing I could say is that I eat far much more than I should!! Highly recommend!
PB is a staple part of my diet and struggled to find some without all kinds of rubbish added to it. This is 100%peanuts and nothing else! It even mixes up nicely in protein shakes. Nom nom nomGoes Well With:Toast, Protein shakes
Good Product, I ordered a crunchy one and usually spread it on brown toast but it can get a bit dry if you have a small food pipe like mine :-). have a cup of tea ready or Protein shake. It does not taste sweet at all which kind of says there is no artificial sugar added to it to make you addictive to it. I am happy with this product but I would get a smooth tub next time. Price is really great for what you get. Goes Well With:Goes well on its own or a brown toast with chocolate protein shake.
