I was actually thinking about making a thread asking if there was a thread on this. I will have the chance to test it out soon and am fairly excited. I think I only read one report on it? Can't even remember properly. What would everyones thoughts on a proper starter dose would be? The only reference i've even seen is the Wiki article that states its active at 400-650 ug insufflated. Also the lone TR. Many people were discussing using the new HPBC method of administering the NBOMe's a poster on here has been studying. Any thoughts on this? Hope to see this thread get some posts going!

No worries - I'm sure this thread will be filling up with all kinds of questions and reports soon enough
I think honestly the only poster who has commented on this so far has been Erny - everyone else is going to be a pioneer.
yeah, i'm unaware of anything aside from erny's TR. Hopefully i'll be able to get my hands on some in a couple weeks as well
I wouldn't start with more than 100-200µg just to be safe, as there's next to no info on this at all. I'd imagine potency will be similar to the other halogenated 25x-NBOMe's though.
As far as the complexation of nbome's with hydroxy-propyl-beta-cyclodextrin, I am certain that when complexed, you go from 50% to 95% buccal absorption in my experience. 95% absorption of hydrophobic drugs complexed to HPBCD has been reported in studies by Dr. Joseph Pitha on sublingually applied HPBCD-complexed testosterone (quite hydrophobic just like the nbome molecules) whereas normally, only 40% or so absorption of testosterone base powder is achieved without complexation, HPBCD complexation causes quite a dramatic jump in absorption and effectiveness in 20 minutes time. Studies can be found on-line and in the links I give in the big and dandy 25c thread.
Have posted instructions on how this is done in the big and dandy 25c-nbome thread and also the small and fancy 25i-nbome thread. In my experience, HPBCD complexed nbome applied to upper gum in the form of a 1.75" x 5/16" wide filter paper strip (the rectangle blotter cut from #103 filter paper) does indeed achieve the exact same potency as the same amount applied nasally, so yes, buccally applied HPBCD-complexed nbome is equipotent to non-complexed nasally applied nbome. I've seen the "beta-cyclodextrin" version of this stuff on auction sites, but perhaps maybe someday, someone will offer the hydroxy-propyl version of this. It's possible that beta-cyclodextrin would work just about as well as hydroxy-propyl-beta-cyclodextrin but I have no idea as I only use the hydroxy-propyl version. Swim got his HPBCD powder many years ago from a sports company that went out of business shortly after the pro-hormone ban of the Bush years. There are actually a couple places (outside of auction sites ) that directly have Hydroxypropyl Beta Cyclodextrin. In any case, there are hundreds of research papers on the science of HPBCD, "Trappsol" and other fancy sounding brand names are currently used for the stuff these days it seems.
How long/well does HPBCD store? Apparently very well, after almost 7 years, the HPBCD was stored in the original plastic screw lid container it came in, still as good/fresh as the day it was opened. No special storage conditions needed, just keep in a cool dark & dry place at room temperature.

I am very glad to hear you believe buccal vs insufflation to be nearly identical in potency. I would have to assume this is just an educated guess though correct? It does however seem to be pretty accurate. I will test this for myself when I receive 25B and HPBCD. I also noticed many popular auction sites had BCD. Its BA is ridiculously lowered compared to HPBCD according to the internet. There are a few places where HPBCD can be acquired today though so no worries. Fairly excited to try it out and see how well it really works.
Thanks for the comments Help?!?!. Yes, that's very true, there are a few places where HPBCD can be gotten directly with a little searching with no hassles, as for example the "sports supplements" companies are able to get it no problems. I quoted the general research paper from Joseph Pitha in the 25c-nbome big and dandy thread on the 95% absorption of sublingual testosterone base in 20 minutes. Testosterone is extremely hydrophobic with a solubility in water of something like 0.039mg per ml, practically in-soluble, however, when complexed to HPBCD, it becomes 100% water soluble. Guess what else is very hydrophobic (water-fearing)?, yes, that's right the nbome's, especially 25i-nbome. HPBCD can be thought of as like a "molecular condomn" that traps drug molecules in it's donut-shaped hole so that they can be delivered directly to surfaces of the mucosal cavities in the mouth with high effectiveness. At last, there is a healthy role for sugar molecules to play other than destroying our health and well-being my contributing to diabetes and sugar/glucose regulation problems, fat storage, insulin surges, etc, LOL. Yes, the HPBCD-complexed molecule is so effective bucally that I will never use nasal methods again, it works that well imho.
In most cases, only one molecule is included in the cavity of HPBCD. In the case of some low molecular weight guests, more than one molecule of guest might fit into the cavity. In the case of some high molecular weight molecules, more than one molecule of cyclodextrin might bind to the guest. Only a portion of the molecule must fit into the cavity to form a complex. As a result, a one-to-one molar ratio is not always achieved, especially with high or low molecular weight guests and some prelimiary complex formation and analysis is needed to determine relative amounts of cyclodextrin and guest to be added for complexation.1. Water
HPBCD is very soluble in water. Substitution of the hydroxyl groups of the BCD disrupts the network of hydrogen bonding around the rim of the BCD. As a result of disruption of the hydrogen-bonding network, the hydroxyl groups interact much more strongly with water resulting in increased solubility compared to BCD. Solubilities of HPBCD are typically listed at >60% at amnbient temperature. As the concentraion becomes higher, viscosity begins to increase and solubility determinations become difficult to perform due to slow filtration rates and at very high solids levels, slow dissolution because of high viscosities making mixing difficult.
HPBCD is more soluble in solvents than BCD, but extensive work has not been done to characterize the solubility of HPBCD in solvents. The table below shows the solubility in selected alcohols.
Solubility (g/100ml)
95% ethanol 225g/100ml
isopropanol 152g/100ml
solubility of HPBCD in ethanol-water mixtures:
0% ethanol concentration: 360g/100ml
20% ethanol concentration: 340g/100ml
40% ethanol concentration: 320g/100ml
60% ethanol concentration: 295g/100ml
80% ethanol concentration: 265g/100ml
95% ethanol concentration: 225g/100ml
Hydroxyproply Beta Cyclodextrin (HPCD) (CAS #94035-02-6) is a partially substituted poly (hydroxypropyl) ether of beta cyclodextrin (BCD). The empiracal formula is: (C42 H70-n035). (C3 H7 O)n it contains not less than 10.0 percent and not more than 45.0 percent hydroxypropoxy(-OCH2CHOHCH3) groups. The structure is shown below where
R represents either hydrogen or a hydroxypropoxy group.
R=CH2CH(OH)CH3 or H
The solubility of HPBCD is quite high, exceeding 600mg/ml in water, and exceeding 225mg/ml in 95% etoh. Viscosity is not an issue in concentrations below 55%
The molecular weight of HPBCD is 1375.36
The molecular weight of NBome-2c-I is 427.277
The molecular weight of testosterone is 288.42 (95% sublingual absorption achieved in 20 minutes when complexed to HPBCD according to published research (Pitha, Joseph). This figure falls to 50% or less when it is not complexed to HPBCD and applied sublingually over the same 20 minute period.
Dazed (on HPBCD-complexed hormones):
The conventional penetration enhancers like alcohols or polyethylene glycol act by disrupting the lipid layers of membranes.(3) That is a big source of irritation from the old formula, and this irritation can thus be avoided by the use of CD's (cyclodextrins). Another advantage is, once administered, the steroid is rapidly absorbed sublingually. Nearly 95% of the steroid will be absorbed within 20 minutes. This also causes the need for multiple doses throughout the day.

I've also had my eye on this for a while and wondered quietly why so little info is available. So, i came across the Ettrup-paper which has been mentioned in a few other threads. It looks like 25B-NBOMe is way better at crossing the BBB than 25I-NBOMe and 25C-NBOMe (or any of the other drugs tested). Also the binding affinity is better as is the receptor activation. So, I'm guessing that using tregars ROA (nice work btw) the dose should be about half or less than 25I-NBOMe
interesting, hadn't read that. Definitely gonna check it out though. Did not know 25B substantially different in receptor activation & crossing the BBB either. Good info to have for sure!
The doses are in the 200-1000 mcg range like those of the others NBOMes with halogens. Many find 700 mcg to be suitably enough, some claim it is a little too much.
I personally do not like this chem, it is not as rewarding as D or I or C. Just a potent PEA-psychedelic with DOB undertones. It may also have pronounced bodyload. And many people complained about vasoconstriction being too strong for them to like it.
Would you say that this is becoming more widely available? I'm not trying to source but Im quite interested in it.
I've yet to see this offered by a "mainstream" vendor where it didn't turn out to be a scam or a failure.
This compound is far superior to 2ce imo/ime.
It was such a euphoric blast
here is some information i acquired
Active from 1mg. Over 4mg it is rather strong.
This works for 5-8h in 1-3mg range over this it can lasts after 8-10h
This dissolves well in ethanol if you want to make blotter
and also well in water if you want to make liquid dropper.
Works sublingual (under tongue)or insufflated (sniff) way.
because the chem is decaying in stomach
0,5-1mg (0,0005-0,001g)
1 - 2 mg
2- 3 mg
3-5 mg
+ 5 mg
the agent is 99% pure
but it was cut with about 50% dextrose
be careful apparently some 25b-nbome that has been going around has been cut with dextrose "about 50%"...

I'd repeat if you don't remember: 2C-B-NBOMe is the most common NBOMe-PEA in Russia and is the one that is the most explored. I probably took too much of it as well as DOB before, and I am wery familliar with theirs effects. To the point where I don't know what much to say about them, such 4-bromine substituted PEAs are a sort of archetypycal thing to me.
2 mg of pure substance is my common dose, 3 mg is a heavy dose. I was able to feel it at 0,1 mg i/m. For the majority of population 0,5 mg is a common dose, 0,7 mg is a strong dose, and 1 mg is a heavy one.
lol that must be the same vendor i got mine from
didnt think it being cut with dextrose would be a big issue tho
The Russians get all the cool drugs. 25B *and* Krokodil?! Amazing!
How is krokodil amazing?????

I have 10mg of 25B-NBOME in 5mL of water, how do I go about taking this effectively?
Get an oral syringe without the needle part, for example one that can contain 1 ml. They are sold for giving babies and pets medicine. Then you are able to measure the volume that corresponds to the wanted dose, squirt it in your mouth and hold it under your tongue for as long as you can without swallowing what's in your mouth.
You may also squirt the solution into your nose but be careful to only do this in small parts so that it will not drip down the back of your sinuses into your throat because it is then again swallowed and basically lost since it does not work well (or hardly if at all) orally. Better to do small bits of liquid and give it a few minutes to absorb before putting in more than doing too much at once. Also check the 25C-NBOMe thread for example where people describe the volume a typical nose can tolerate without getting an excess that drips.
Squirting it up your a-hole is also an option but often not considered acceptable. I myself have plugged 2C-B in the past with success but on the other hand don't particularly feel enthoused about it. But I'm obviously not prude about it either.
So there you go, a number of options actually.
Also, if you are unable to get syringes but do have access to a scale and small vials or mini containers for holding small volumes of liquid you can weigh your solution since if it is water it will be almost exactly 1 g per 1 ml (to be exact 1.01 g if there were no cuts).
Remember! This is a very potent and relatively not well researched compound so don't start at a full active dose but test with a fraction of it first and slowly build your way up. Experiment as responsibly as you can!
Regarding the 50% dextrose cut, that sounds pretty silly. I cut my 25X-NBX compounds with mannitol myself so I actually find it a fine idea, but I use ratios like 1:40 or 1:50 because that has actual purpose. 50% is bullshit right?
P.S. about krokodil even though it seems like it was a joke or sarcasm the drug itself actually doesn't seem bad at all to me. I'm even interested in making a little for myself using a proper way instead of the unsafe methods street junkies use. Because the impurities / toxic reagents from those bad methods are actually what cause the horrible problems. Just fyi let's not forget that.
Please start at the Beginners FAQ - Read the PD Rules and BLUA - Use the Psychedelic Index and/or the advanced search engine
So if its cut with 50% dextrose would that interfere with a complexing agent?
Also what would be the expected metabolic fate of the N-(2-MeO)-benzyl moiety?
25B is an interesting substance. Prior to this I have only been familiar with the archetypal psychedelics so I am unable to give a comparative analysis against other rc's in this class. I worked up my dosage in 500ug increments over the course of several hours begining with 500ug and ending with 3mg. I believe my material has been diluted by the supplier in order to make dosage calculation easier but I have no honest idea what the percentage of dilution is. They claim their purity is 99.98% but this doesn't take in to account any fillers that were used. My dosage was in accordance to manufacturers recomendation and seems to be correct for the effects they described. !!!WARNING: If someone else obtains this substance they MUST work up their own dosage and not use my dosage as a referance point!!! Visually this substance is akin to indole tryptamines like psilocybin. I'm not going to give my experience any Shulgin + rating because I never used that to describe my experiences before I knew who Shulgin was and I see no reason to start now. 3mg(?) of 25B feels like 3gr of dried mushroom or 100ug of LSD to me. Mental clarity is good and doesn't have the confused looping of mushrooms but it doesn't have the crystal clarity and insight of LSD either. Overall I would say there is no change in my thought patterns, the substance at this level of dose is mostly visual with some physical effects like increased body temperature and slight digital tremor, both of which are normal for me with LSD and neither seem to be worrisome with 25B at this dosage. No vasoconstriction has been noted at this dose. My bowles feel a bit loose but that may just be the 7-11 burrito I had earlier and not be related to this substance. All in all I would say there is nothing remarkable about 25B other than the fact that it is legal and people are giving away free samples over the internet. It's a brave new world ain't it?! If I had to sum it up in words I would call 25B the "cheap beer" version of LSD. If LSD-25 was chilled Dom Perignon then 25B would be a room temperature Budweiser that was left open overnight. 25B is visually entertaining but lacking any real magic. This would be good for people that either don't want to or maybe shouldn't go to the places that "old school" psychedelics can send someone.

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. They are considered to be essential amino acids because humans could not survive unless they were present in their diet.
BCAAs are required to maintain lean tissue and studies have shown that they help to preserve your stores of glycogen. BCAAs also prevent tissue breakdown during training.
Unlike other amino acids BCAAs are not metabolised in the stomach and are instead metabolised directly in the muscle. This unique quality means that they build lean tissue and stop catabolism. These unique amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine) cannot be synthesised by your body so they are essential to your growth.
Don't like the taste of BCAA powder? Why not try our BCAA+ Tablets.
You can increase the effectiveness of BCAAs by consuming 10mg of Vitamin B6 with every 10g of BCAA.
As a dietary supplement we recommend consuming 5 grams 2 - 4 times daily for optimal results. Best consumed with your preferred amount of water or fruit juice.
Add 2 heaped MP small scoops (5g) to your preferred amount of water or fruit juice and consume immediately.
1 x level MP Plastic Scoop (small) weighs 2.2g. (not included)

Perfect for drying out, taste good!Goes Well With:Impact whey
- (12 / Feb / 2014)
Great supplement that I've seen solid results with. Has made my cut much more efficient than my last and held onto a lot more strength and muscle in general.
I went for Tropical flavour. It's not great. Not that it tastes bad, but you don't use enough of the powder to properly flavour a drink so it just tastes like really weak squash. I'd suggest going unflavoured (which I've had before and you can't taste at all) and flavour with your own cordial if you need to add taste.
Doesn't mix easily, but that's just BCAAs for you, nothing bad about this brand. But you'll need a proper shaker. You won't be able to stir it in.
Overall a good product but the particular version I got is let down by taste. Go for unflavoured.
Not what i expected
- (11 / Feb / 2014)
Tried to mix it with water and just sat on the top. The only way i could take it was if i blended the water with it in or put in with my protein shake. However it made a great tasting shake unbarable. Would recomend capsules.
Ewww bit yukky
- (10 / Feb / 2014)
Was not expecting this to taste so yukky, but compared to some other MP powders its quaffable. I mix it witha strong tasting juice like grapefruit. Interesting to see what the results will be. Hope to see some effects in a few weeks and if the results are good I will stick with it.Goes Well With:Taurine possibly, or superfood greens powders
Brilliant taste and mixability
Received my BCAA's in the tropical flavour just over a week ago now, the taste is far better than the berry! Taste isn't far off that of robinsons squash!
Mixes really well too, needs to be shaken well for a good few minutes but no powder left floating on the top after!
Would recommend this flavour and product to anyone, can't comment much on the effectiveness just yet as I haven't been using it long enough but so far I'm impressed! Goes Well With:Water
Not sure if the product works yet. I suppose I have noticed my recovery is more efficient. However, this product tastes vile, I thought I could mix it in my protein shakes but it makes them taste horrible. Also doesn't mix at all well on it's own with water. I would strongly suggest buying the tablets, would be a lot more convenient! Goes Well With:Nothing! But I take with Whey Protein and Creatine.
Not the best tasting, but drinking quickly helps. Not sure whether to try with juice, or just get used to it. It is only 10 times a week!
- (07 / Feb / 2014)
Great taste but could mix better.
- (30 / Jan / 2014)
I think this BCAA is a great product and the effect is really good. The taste could be better, but i don't think so much about it when i train and the product really help my muscle to grow! Goes Well With:Water!
- (29 / Jan / 2014)
Never use this website again... very poor delivery service
I guess it works
- (29 / Jan / 2014)
I guess this stuff does what it promises to do. It doesn't give any stomach cramps or give any unpleasant side effects. Bad news is I don't recall anything that would taste as bad and the mixability is very poor. But I think most other BCAA's on the market have those negative characteristics as well.
- (28 / Jan / 2014)
This is a great product
Good product
- (27 / Jan / 2014)
I chose the Berry Blast.
Mixes completely with 100ml of water with just a couple of shakes (in a normal water bottle, not a mixer) and tastes fine; just like a berry squash drink.
Taste and quality
- (24 / Jan / 2014)
The berry blast taste is an absolute treat , goes well with my unflavoured protein but overall doesn't mix wellGoes Well With:Impact whey isolate
BCAA Powder
At first I was surprised by how little was required to be mixed, but it seems to be working just fine so I wont complain.
The taste of the berries really does come through, and at first I thought it was a bit bitter, but I got used to it really quickly. The mixability is absolute so there are no lumps, even in an ordinary waterbottle.
All in All I'm glad I purchased this product, My muscles aren't as sore any more after a workout, and my strength is increasing with each workout.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has hit a plateau in their training or if you need an extra boost to hit your goals.
- (22 / Jan / 2014)
Overall is great. It does what is supposed to do. Great stuff. To get rid of bad taste put powder in your shaker with about 4 dcl of water and bad taste will go away.Goes Well With:Water
- (22 / Jan / 2014)
First time I've tested BCAA and have to admit that is useful. Gives me more energy and I recover faster.Goes Well With:Everything
- (21 / Jan / 2014)
Its a great product. The taste is alright but once i mix it in with my protein powder it tastes fine. definitely recommend it.Goes Well With:Vegan Reflex Chocolate
Diet Whey
- (20 / Jan / 2014)
Great stuff - I mainly use it to reduce recovery time, this stuff taken straight after a heavy session makes the next day a lot more bearable, even with leg days. Apparently helps gain muscle too, I didn't mean for that to happen but I did make some serious gains after starting to use this stuff. Gonna keep using it - the thought of going back to post-training days without the pain relief is scaryGoes Well With:Impact Whey
- (20 / Jan / 2014)
This product is a vital component for anyone wanting to gain lean muscle and maintain it. I have been using BCAA's for a few weeks now and the results are definitely showing. I have been able to trim the fat while keeping my muscle. Highly recommend!Goes Well With:True Whey
- (19 / Jan / 2014)
Good cheap and cheerful product does what it says. taste is terrible as everyone has said but what i found is adding orange squash cordial (sugar free of course) really hides the taste :)Goes Well With:orange cordial or yogurt
Very useful supplement
- (15 / Jan / 2014)
The price might scare you off but don't let it! The bags last for ages because you use such small servings. I mix with maltodextrin during my workout and I firmly believe it has helped me grow. If you're like me and always have water when you wake up in the night, do yourself a favour and add some to it/have a shake as soon as you wake up. Worth the moneyGoes Well With:Impact Whey, Maltodextrin, Creatine
- (08 / Jan / 2014)
As most others have said - the unflavoured is awful and seems to overpower anything else you mix it with - if you can mix it - it would be easier trying to get engine oil mixed into water.
Typically I get towards the end of my pack and think I finally cracked it - mixing it with a little Ribena in the MP shaker prior to topping up with water seems to do the trick - still needs a good shake but at least the taste is hidden and the powder isn't left floating on the top!!Goes Well With:Ribena, the bin.
- (08 / Jan / 2014)
Was worried at first after reading reviews of the taste... got the tropical one today and have absolutely no problems with it! I mixed it with about 300ml of water and it tasted fine, not too sweet but not flavourless either! good product
Very good
- (22 / Dec / 2013)
Very glad with the Tropical BCAA. Smells like puke before mixing it with water (smells like unflavoured BCAA) - But after mixing with water it smells like normal juice. Taste is amazing and easy to drink, without it being too sweet or strong in the flavour. Mixing is very easy, shake it for 10 seconds with water in a normal water bottle, and it's one. I mix 2-3 scoops with 300ml water in a normal water bottle. I don't understand why people are complaining about the foul taste of the unflavoured BCAA - that's just how BCAA tastes without flavouring.. A simple google search could have told them that..Goes Well With:Water/juice
- (13 / Dec / 2013)
Have never tried BCAAs before but I am currently using them to maintain lean body mass whilst cutting body fat. I have noticed that I have held onto almost all, possibly gained muscle from taking this. Only down side is that it doesn't taste great and seems to be waterproof. I have to mix it with an electric blender or it just sits on top of the water I put it in. Overall, good product at a very good priceGoes Well With:Impact Whey, Yogurts
Great stuff!
- (28 / Nov / 2013)
Overall this is great stuff. Totally agree with the bad taste but fruit juice does tend to take the taste away although not by much. I've found that shovelling it straight into my mouth and then taking a drink makes a massive difference. You can only taste it for a second or so rather than suffer drinking a full glass of it. Try it.Goes Well With:fruit juice, cottage cheese, protein pancakes

- (18 / Nov / 2013)
The unflavoured version tastes disgusting, no matter what you mix it with it still doesn't taste any better and doesn't seem to mix very well, if your going to buy definitely go for one of the flavoured versions.Goes Well With:nothing, tried milk water 2 different flavours of impact whey protein but still tastes grim.
- (15 / Nov / 2013)
The unflavoured version really tastes like poison! Even adding vanilla flavour drops or agave syrup does not change the taste. It's horrible. I need to try mixing with juice
Also it mixes really poorly in water. It sits on the top and looks like carbon snow.
As for the results I think it's pretty good as I have stopped training for a couple of months and still kept almost all my gains (which never happened before when taking a break. Could be the Bulbine too though)
- (13 / Nov / 2013)
BCAA is a good product, it does not taste nice but if you mix it with L glutamine you can't taste a thing.

- (12 / Nov / 2013)
Taste is pretty bland, mixes okay. It takes a little while to completely dissolve and works nicely.
tastes disgusting
- (10 / Nov / 2013)
Cannot review on using this has I can't stomach it. It tastes disgusting in my opinion. I don't mind the unflavoured protein,but this is bad even with strawberry drops in it.I probably won't ever use this unfortunately.
- (05 / Nov / 2013)
In a low calorie diet BCAA can help hold your muscle mass. The taste is not so good, but for this price, it is ok. Before training it can help prevent muscle catabloism.Goes Well With:Glutamine

- (05 / Nov / 2013)
Bought 500g of mixed berry BCAA powder. It's a sound product and like all BCAA powders takes a little time mixing but end result is a very drinkable product. Will buy again.
Best there is
- (29 / Oct / 2013)

helps a lot with recovery and is easy to mix.Goes Well With:I sometimes mix 2 scoops into my cookies and cream protein shake for extreme recovery
- (28 / Oct / 2013)
Excellent product
First try with BCAA's and very Impressed
- (26 / Oct / 2013)
I have been an avid gym user and customer to MyProtein, however have never bought a BCAA product until now.
I am currently cutting carbohydrate intake and maintaining exercise intensity to cut my body fat %, but of course the biggest concern is maintaining lean muscle mass.
I have been using this product now for about 4 weeks and I am very impressed with the results. I have 2 scoops of BCAA powder mixed with a small tub (300g) of cottage cheese before I go to bed. I can usually bare the natural taste of cottage cheese but this tastes just like a berry yogurt! I highly recommend. And once or twice a day I mix in a couple of scoops with fruit juice or just water just to keep myself topped up throughout the day.
Goes Well With:Cottage Cheese, Fruit Juice, Water

First time I have tried the product as I would normally find BCAA in tabs form. Goes easily down with good taste. Already being in liquid form your body is ready to make good use of it.
- (21 / Oct / 2013)
I have been trying this now and I am on my second batch. I have really noticed a difference my body has got alot more toned. My first batch was berry flabour which tastes really good and my second batch is tropical which also tastes great.Goes Well With:water
- (17 / Oct / 2013)
I take this with protein and milk so it tastes great dont know how it tastes on its own.
Since taking this and whey protein I have felt some improvements so thats a good sign and plus the price is very reasonable as well.Goes Well With:Protein and milk
BCAA review
- (15 / Oct / 2013)
I use this product with a pint of water 3/4x a day. I have noticed a good gain from this and will continue to purchase this item.Goes Well With:Water/Squash
Good stuff but...
- (15 / Oct / 2013)
This stuff does the trick, but thats about the only positive. It tastes horrific and mixes badly. I'd suggest mixing it with something that tastes better.

Invaluable. A must buy.
BCAA Review
- (12 / Oct / 2013)
I have been taking these for a couple months now... The result is incredible I take the reccomended dose after my workout in the 45min window... I was reccomended these from my nutritionist to help me recover after heavy strength training! I bought the unflavoured ones and I agree with some of the revies the taste is diabolical... It doesnt mix with water and makes your protein shake taste horrible however if you mix it with fruit juice its absolutly fine, it mixes perfect no lumbs and you can't taste it at all! I take mine with orange juice and have absolutly no problems.. I highly reccomend this to anyone who doesn't want to lose muscle and speed their recovery time.Goes Well With:Orange Juice
Very decent
- (08 / Oct / 2013)
Bought the unflavoured.
This does not taste good at all.
It does not mix with water, you will need to add something for it to bind too. Mixing it with a shake will probably just ruin your shake (in taste).
With a blender, I find adding 50-100ml of water, 1tsp of peanut butter and the BCAA mixes well, with not too much to pour down in a oner. The peanut butter does smooth out the taste, but it does not eliminate it.
Berry BCAA
- (05 / Oct / 2013)
The tropical storm flavour BCAA is better than the Berry Blast flavour. But as for its effectiveness: it's a good BCAA that can't be faulted. Does what it says on the tin.Goes Well With:A workout and recovery.
best amino in market
- (04 / Oct / 2013)
This is the best BCAA! I recommend the unflavored version, 5 grams during training with some lemon juice and a little honey...enjoy.
Great product
- (02 / Oct / 2013)
I have recently been using this BCAA during my weight training, combined with L Glutamine (1 flavoured/1 plain) and am definitely noticing the difference. My energy levels and muscle fatigue between sessions have improved. No issues for me with mixing, it seems to blend fine for what it is. I would recommend.
Unflavoured BCAA
- (01 / Oct / 2013)
I opted for the unflavoured version of BCAA as it is more versatile to add to my smoothies and other recipes. On its own the taste is pretty sharp so I would recommend adding it to fairly strong tasting smoothies or juices to mark this.
I would recommend this to others as it is a good value, good quality product.

Shopping >Hogwild Records Tapes & C D's
1824 N Main Ave, San Antonio, TX | Directions 7821229.446941 -98.494167
Neighborhoods: Central San Antonio, Tobin Hill
Hogwild is the best music store in S.A. – I've been going to Hogwild for 15 years and I have no intention of stopping. Screw Best Buy, Target, Barnes, and Borders. Hogwild is where it's at. Anything you want special ordered, consider it done. Knowledgeable staff, check. Great selection is in the bag. Awesome used selection too. T-shirts, vinyl, buttons, stickers, zines, it's all there. Please support independent record stores, they are the best!
Just depends on what you're looking for... – Travel is part of my job and so I get to see a lot of record shops as I feed my vintage vinyl addiction.
I thought, after reading the reviews about this place, that Hogwild would be much better than it is. Like I said, it all depends on what you're looking for. Vinyl is my passion and this shop has a nice selection, not the largest, but certainly worth a trip to cruise the limited stacks ...especially if you don't have a lot of time but need to get a quick vinyl "fix". What I found appealing was the large stock of $1 albums. I walked away with some good stuff and a true Diamond in the Rough; a copy of BS&T's "Brand New Day" (vg to ex condition) courtesy of the bargain box. There is a small array of used, collector grade classic vinyl (Beatles, Stones Steppenwolfe, et. al.). A nice feature the shop does when price-labeling the "good stuff" is to place the sticker *inside* the album cover so as not to trash the cover with sticky labels (that you have to remove and hoping you don't rip the cover in the process). Another nice feature is a turntable you can use to listen to potential buys ...do it sparingly though because the TT is not anything close to audiophile in nature.
Hogwild is worth a visit and you can scan the vinyl dollar boxes in about 45 minutes or so ...and you might just find something great. It just depends on what you're looking for.
Best Place to buy music – Looking for original hard to find band stickers? This is the place. Don't go to those over priced corporate places near the malls, just don't do it. Why spend $20 on a cd when you can buy it for $10-$15 here? I bet you won't walk out with just one item. Support your local Record Store!
One Of The Last Great Indies – As one who who worked as a rock jock all over the country during the 70's it's refreshing to see an independent record store such as this. The big chains refuse to special order anything,and employ teenie bopper idiots who don't know music from shinola (thats putting it nicely). The people at Hogwild are the most knowledgeable and helpful. The in store stock is excellent and if you need a rare or out stock item just ask.
We need more stores like this!
kick ass place to go! – this place is totally awesome. great service. kik ass selection of all kinds of music.. and some kool shirts too.. and if they dont have the size you want.. they'll order it for you and call you when they get it!! nice place to hang out before or after a show at the sanctuary.. if you havent gone here... you should.. you wont regret it.
Very good selection of hispanic music – this is de best independent music store in town..I saw the store for many years, but I never had got the chance to get it there until about a year ago..I always though it was some havey metal, or dark place for all the stickers and posters in the front...but as soon you walk into the store, you have a sense of good vibes...I was looking for a cd in spanish that I couldn't find anywhere else, and I never though I could find it there...to my sorprise they had the best collection of cds in spanish....it's not the largest, but it is the one with the best music, plus they have t-shirts of latin bands, and even magazines, and to my sorprise if they don't have the cd you are looking for, you can order it, and they'll bring it for you.....that's a very cool thing.
Wallow in a fine music selection and independent atmosphere. – Wide Open
The bumper-stickered front door stays open most evenings when the weather is nice--another of the small differences that sets Hogwild apart from the massive music store conglomerates who have almost cornered the used-CD market.
Still Indie
One of the last independent record shops in San Antonio, Hogwild blends personality into its disc selection, both new and used, and seems to attract the same in its clientele, a fact that could easily be contributed to the store's proximity to San Antonio College.
Just Ask
Infinitely less conformed and corporate than other alternatives, Hogwild employees seem to have the remarkable ability of knowing exactly what they're talking about while completely avoiding the appearance of work. Despite this somewhat mysterious conundrum, the bins remain stocked, discs can be special ordered, and the music revolution continues.
Amazing – This is a great place to find collector albums. If you can't find it anywhere else come here.

Support the Kafka Project! Donate Now ... click here!
Join the MAGICAL MYSTERY LITERARY HISTORY TOUR!
Follow in the footsteps of Franz Kafka and Dora Diamant to Czech Republic, Poland and Germany
Sept 5 -14, 2014
Led by Kafka Project Director and SDSU adjunct professor Kathi Diamant, author of Kafka's Last Love, our 10-day European Literary Sleuthing Tour will retrace the love story of Franz Kafka and Dora Diamant, spending three nights each in Prague, Krakow, and Berlin. The package includes first class hotels, deluxe ground transportation, specialized sightseeing, local guides, many meals, fees, taxes and a donation to the Kafka Project's continuing search for a literary treasure.
See our Tour page to register for the tour or for more information.
In 2008, the Kafka Project came closer to pinpointing the location of Franz Kafka's missing notebooks and letters. Through media coverage by Czech and Polish newspapers, magazines and radio, and working with libraries and universities, we promoted the search in Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland. We learned that if Kafka's lost writings still exist, they are safely buried among top-secret documents in closed archives in Poland. Time and patience is required, but we knew that. In the meanwhile, in order to build interest and urgency, we are joining with German and Polish scholars, writers, academics, historians and government officials. For more information, read the summary of the Final Report 2008 Eastern European Research.
The Kafka Project is the official search to recover the last writings of Franz Kafka, working on behalf of the Kafka Estate of London, England. Under the auspices of San Diego State University's College of Arts and Letters since 1998, the Kafka Project has worked with the German government for the discovery and return of Kafka's unpublished letters and notebooks. Building on the results of the last search conducted by Max Brod and Klaus Wagenbach in the mid-1950s, the Kafka Project is a non-profit volunteer organization, funded by donations, pooling resources, skills and knowledge to resolve a literary mystery.
The missing Kafka material was confiscated from Kafka's last companion, Dora Diamant, in a Gestapo raid of her residence in Berlin in 1933. At Kafka's request, before his death, she burned some of his work. But she saved much more than she burned, including 35 letters and 20 notebooks. Learn more about Dora Diamant.

Ron Brown has seen a lot of option football in his many years as a Nebraska assistant coach, but few that worked out like the Huskers' winning touchdown against Michigan.
In fact, Brown said he couldn't recall any off the top of his head that included the pitch going forward from the quarterback to the I-back, as it did from Tommy Armstrong to Ameer Abdullah.
The 5-yard play was ruled a TD pass because the lateral was forward. It was legal because it was behind the line of scrimmage, like a shovel pass.
"The kid on defense made it a tough read," Brown said.
Armstrong hesitated and held on to the football because Michigan defensive end Frank Clark never committed to either the quarterback or back. Abdullah kept running and ended up in front of Armstrong as he went to pitch.
Brown said the other part of the play that stood out was receiver Alonzo Moore holding his block on Wolverines cornerback Raymon Taylor in the end zone to give Abdullah a clear path to the goal line.
From big catch to big drop
Jordan Westerkamp got a taste of how emotions can swing from Saturday to Saturday in college football.
A week ago, the redshirt freshman was the hero with a 49-yard touchdown catch on the Hail Mary pass from Ron Kellogg to beat Northwestern.
In the fourth quarter Saturday, the receiver muffed a punt that was recovered by Dennis Norfleet on the Huskers' 26-yard line, setting up the Wolverines' go-ahead field goal with 8:08 left in the game.
Westerkamp got off to a good start Saturday, catching a 27-yard pass from Armstrong on third-and-15 on the Huskers' first series and then adding a 17-yard return after Michigan's first punt.
A simple 'pitch and catch'
When Nebraska faced on fourth-and-2 at Michigan's 31 late in Saturday's 17-13 win, coach Bo Pelini didn't hesitate much when choosing to go for it.
First, he didn't like the "tricky" wind that would have been set up for kicker Pat Smith, who would have been trying a 48-yard field goal. Second, he liked what Nebraska offensive coordinator Tim Beck had cooked up for that play.
Which was a pass from Armstrong to junior wide receiver Kenny Bell.
Why did Beck call a pass? Because Michigan had switched its early-game defense into one where it stuffed the box with defenders. The Wolverines were playing a Cover-3, Beck said — that's three defensive backs dropping into deep coverage, and the quick throw was open.
"It's pitch and catch," Beck said. "You gotta be able to execute something like that. And we did."
Sterup steps in on offensive line
The veterans on the offensive line could sense a little bit of nervousness from their inexperienced right tackle, who was suddenly inserted into Saturday's game after another injury up front.
Zach Sterup hasn't seen much game action. Yet there he was at the Big House, filling in for the most seasoned NU lineman (Jeremiah Sirles) who was helped off the field just before halftime.
So senior Andrew Rodriguez made it a point to do everything he could to keep Sterup loose and relaxed.
"I was messing with him," Rodriguez said, smiling. Between plays and on the sideline, Rodriguez said he kept shouting over to his young teammate. "Let's go, Sterup! Let's go, big dog!'"
The nerves didn't seem to impact Sterup's play, according to Rodriguez. Offensive line coach John Garrison wasn't sure what to make of Sterup's demeanor.
"(He was) almost eerily calm," Garrison said. "I almost had to smack him to see if he was awake."
Sterup, from Hastings St. Cecilia, was certainly nervous, though. He played the entire second half trying to act like he'd been there before. Not many Michigan defenders were able to maneuver around his 6-foot-8, 315-pound frame.
"I was pretty nervous on the inside, just tried not to show it too much," he said.
Another hot start for Nebraska
Nebraska didn't score on its first offensive series Saturday, but did have another successful first quarter.
The Huskers took a 10-0 lead and now have outscored their opponents 114-51 in the first quarter, by far their biggest advantage in any period this season. Pat Smith kicked a 21-yard field goal on NU's second possession and Abdullah scored on an 8-yard run on the third.
Nebraska crossed midfield four plays into the game but then was forced to punt. It was the first time in Armstrong's five starts that the Huskers didn't score a touchdown on their first possession.
Enunwa joins elite group
Quincy Enunwa became the eighth player in Nebraska history to reach 100 career receptions.
The senior caught a career-high seven passes for 69 yards, pushing his four-year total to 104. Enunwa has at least four receptions in six of nine games, and now a team-leading 41 on the season.
This and that
� Nebraska's game against Michigan State on Saturday will kick off at 2:30 p.m. and will be televised regionally on ABC and on ESPN2 outside the Big Ten region.
� Nebraska's win snapped Michigan's 19-game home winning streak and gave coach Brady Hoke his first home loss.
� The three sacks by Randy Gregory were a career high.

Foreign Fleets Trespass in Belizean Waters
One day in December, the residents of the seaside village of Punta Gorda in Belize looked out to the horizon and saw something unexpected: Jamaican fishing boats. They had arrived, unannounced and without permits, to fish in Belize's diverse waters.
Many of Punta Gorda's local fishermen still work the shallow waters inside the Belize Barrier Reef from individual canoes using age-old methods to provide lobster, shellfish and reef fish for Belizeans, as well as a small but thriving export business. The Jamaican boats, with more sophisticated commercial gear, offered no such promise for the local economy or the continued sustainability of Belize's fisheries.
A few unpermitted Jamaican fishing boats may seem like a local hurly-burly, and after an uproar the boats were turned away by Belizean authorities. But Oceana has discovered that the fight to protect Belize's waters from exploitation has just begun.
Other countries with larger fleets, namely Chinese Taipei and Spain – Europe's largest and most aggressive fishing nation – have already approached the government of Belize about moving into the deep waters beyond the Belize Barrier Reef.

Creating a fairer Britain
Thank you so much for your kind introduction.
This is the second time I've been to Vienna to meet with the FRA on the issue of measurement and indicators. I last came over in March and it's good to be back again so soon. I want to thank Ilze and Morten for the invitation, for their leadership and I'd also like to thank your colleague Jo Goodey for her visit to London last week, to address a seminar we organised on a similar topic with the British Council. I had the privilege of hearing her speak; and besides letting us know about the FRA's own work, I was grateful for the way that she challenged us on our work. The more concrete and robust our debate, the better our results will be in the end.
I want to make three points today.
First of all, I will talk about the business case for equality indicators. Why do we think data and analysis matter and why are they beginning to matter more? This discussion is not just one for geeks and researchers; this is where the political action is going to be over the next 5 to 10 years.
Secondly, I want to say a few words about the UK experience with indicators and our own work as an NHRI and an equality regulator.
Lastly I want to say a few words about challenges for the future.
Before any of that, I would like to say that we are great supporters of the work of the FRA. Many of your outputs are also an indication that our organisations are moving in the same direction in the way we think about these things which is reassuring for us - we aren't alone!
I'll also mention here the work of the OHCHR, about which Craig has just spoken. Your development of a set of indicators to assess compliance with human rights instruments has been exceedingly valuable to us: we will be making good use of them in our Human Rights Review methodology and I look forward to further discussions of them as things progress.
I should start by saying a word about why all this matters, not just for experts but for everyone.
This issue to start with is to ask how can indicators contribute to improving the fundamental / human rights situation?
On the face of it, it's hard to argue with the assertion that good authoritative comparable data is valuable for organisations like ours; it helps us make the case for particular things. Without evidence no one will ever be convinced of the need for change. And that evidence has to be based on incontestable data. But why make a fuss about the detail? Isn't there just right and wrong? Why do we need sets of indicators and measurement frameworks and so on? Is this level of sophistication worth the commitment of resource and energy?
After all, what Ilze said earlier is right: life is not a laboratory. Sometimes the single case is all that matters. We don't need percentages to tell us that refusing to serve someone in a restaurant because of their gender or race or sexual orientation is wrong - and we only need one example to know that we need to act.
But she is also right to say that there is more to equality and human rights than the single case. What we have learnt in the UK over the past two decades is that disadvantage is more subtle, more multifaceted than just individual discrimination; we need tools that can deal with that more complex challenge.
Morten's metaphor of driving in a forest at night is a good one; a wise person will take a map. But let me stretch the metaphor a bit. Actually, if we are driving at night on a familiar, well-lit road through the trees, we might risk the trip without our map. But the real world isn't like that; it isn't obvious, drawn in black and white. In our world of equality and human rights, most of the policy terrain is still uncharted; but we do know it's difficult and deceptive, full of hidden obstacles, and dangerous ravines. Second, what's worse, every time we stand back and look at the landscape its contours have changed. That's why we need the sophisticated, detailed map - and why we need to keep it constantly updated - perhaps one day we'll even have an equality measurement app for our iPods.
Third, if you don't know where you're starting from it's hard to know what's changed and what needs to be changed further – and this is what evidence gives us, a starting point, or a benchmark for action. That was the purpose of our Review "How Fair is Britain"? – but more on that in a moment.
I want to emphasise though that from the EHRC's point of view, what we do domestically isn't enough. To do our job well, we need to work with others; comparison and benchmarking are essential. So we need every EU country to put gathering data at the heart of its work on equality. We can legislate all we like, both in Brussels and domestically, to reduce what we think are the causes of inequality but we can't know that what we're doing has the right effect or any effect at all, unless we have the information we need. In fact we can't be sure that we're legislating for the right remedies or for the important outcomes unless we know the real situation.
So this isn't just administrative or academic: today, we are marking a path towards a new theory of change. It could be called a scientific or forensic approach - one that puts an emphasis on evidence; on progress, rather than process; and on change for the better, rather than good intentions. We aren't yet there. We are at the start of the road as Aurel said, of creating, in Craig's beautifully elegant phrase "the science of human dignity". Let me offer you an example of the way that this approach can make a profound and real-world difference.
The big equality story at the moment in the UK is probably the question of women on boards: that is to say, diversity in the leadership of public companies.
A report has been published by Lord Davis, who was appointed by the new government to examine this. There is absolutely no doubt, if you look at his report, that the single most important and convincing thing about it, is the comparison he has made between the UK, Norway, and Australia. Australia particularly has made dramatic strides over the last two years, by the simple expedient of an agreement with their stock exchange. Two years ago the proportion of women recruited to Boards was 8.9 per cent - last year it was 27 per cent. Now the figures in themselves are startling, but the point I want to make here is that the impact on our domestic debate came because of one piece of information, which was an international comparator.
You can't know any of this by accident, or by talking to somebody in the supermarket. You have to measure it.
If all we were concerned about were individual discrimination, then it would be right that measurement isn't that significant strategically. But as I suggested earlier, we know that discrimination isn't just one on one. We know that much arises from habit, from inertia, and from cultural practice. We know that some patterns of discrimination are so subtly woven into society's way of doing things that no individual act is of itself illegal or challengeable under law; but that taken together those small acts of neglect or thoughtlessness can add up to a pattern of disadvantage for women, disabled people, LGBT people or ethnic minorities.
It is this fact (this calculus) that perhaps marks out the traditional, basic anti-discrimination proposition from the more modern and sophisticated pro-equality approach. It is why aggregate evidence is so vital, and why we at the EHRC have started to invest heavily in this kind of work.
So, now, let me describe some of the steps we have taken along this path.
Last year we launched a review which is called "How Fair is Britain?".
It's our most ambitious piece of work since we came into existence 3 years ago. Frankly, if your work was simply measured by the number of kilograms, we would be way out in front of everyone else. At 750 pages, this is pretty monumental, if we had all the data that we should have, it would have probably been about 2000 pages. My colleague here who was really responsible – Anna Henry – can probably tell you more about the statistics. Since we launched it, the executive summary – has been downloaded 73,000 times. The whole thing has been download 25,000 times, which I reckon would make us a best seller.
We think it's important because it's the first time in our society that we've tried to do it. It is probably, and I may be over claiming, it is probably the most complete attempt at this anywhere in the world so far. It is based on 40 of the 80 or so indicators developed by the Equality Measurement Framework, which we published in 2009 – to which many of the people in this room contributed, so thank you all. This year we will publish a similar volume, which this time will focus on human rights. In 2012 we will publish a further volume which assesses what we call "good relations" – that is to say the dimensions of relations between groups of individuals – and all of these reports we will use to assess progress against our mandate.
I want to say a few words about the main themes emerging from the Review.
As we worked, we discovered some things that didn't surprise us at all, and we discovered quite a lot of things that did surprise us, and I want to dwell on those for a moment, particularly looking at one of the areas with which I'm particularly familiar, and which is a big part of what FRA does, and that is the areas of race and ethnicity.
Now there is some good news here, which is, for example; older workers in the UK are weathering the recession better than others; the life expectancy gap between men and women is closing; surprisingly black women are more likely to be in full time employment than any other group of women – whether this is good news or not I'm absolutely sure, we think that this might be because they're actually doing two jobs; Bangladeshi and Pakistani heritage women in the UK are more likely to be employed as professionals than Bangladeshi and Pakistani men.
There are also inequalities that are persisting: girls are outperforming boys at virtually every level, but they're not reaping the rewards of their academic success in the labour market. We don't know if this is due to straight forward discrimination, or whether it is – and I think this is more likely – job segregation: boys into construction and things that involve numbers and steering; girls doing things that involve looking after people and are paid by the public sector – but we don't know though.
By the way, data gathering about minority groups isn't just about minority groups and doesn't just benefit minorities. In the UK, ethnic monitoring in education has over the past decade revealed the steady emergence of poor white boys a key problem demographic. This a fact that has attracted a great deal of attention, and interestingly, support for our analytic process from commentators who can normally be relied on to dismiss any defence of minority rights. So there are political dividends here in making the work we do better understood as a contribution to the whole society's well-being.
Returning to our analysis, when we looked at adults of working age – disabled people are half as likely to have a degree as non-disable people, and that's not just about including learning disabled people, this is all kinds of disabled people.
In the area of employment the gender gap goes on, the ethnic employment gap continues, and even for ethnic groups who are thought to be doing well, there is a pay penalty of the offence of working whilst not white: Chinese men earn 11 per cent less than their similarly qualified white counterparts; Indian 13 per cent.
Lastly I want to say a few words about emerging inequalities and this is a consequence principally of the most significant demographic trend of our time, and that is the ageing society. Today there are 175,000 children in Britain who care for relatives older than themselves; there 225,000 sick or disabled people who spend many hours a week looking after an ailing spouse or sibling. In the next decade we expect the proportion of the number of people in the UK who are over 85 to have doubled, and that means that there is a need for care, which is a dramatically increase from where we were before – we estimate that the need for care of all kinds is going to rise by 87 per cent over the first half of this century, and most of it will be provided by relatives. Today, 1 in 8 people in England provide unpaid care to adults, and we're estimating that the need for informal care is projected to rise by 90 per cent by 2041. You only need to think about this for 15 seconds to think about (a) social consequences; and the cost consequences if we are going to throw the responsibility for this back on to individuals, and of course that feeds in to major questions about pensions.
We think that this taken together tells us some things about opportunity in the United Kingdom. It has led us to identify 5 key gateways: health and wellbeing; education and inclusion; work and wealth; safety and security; and autonomy and choice, and their significance in terms of impact on opportunity. This we believe should have an important influence on the way that the UK plans for recovery - to make this an inclusive recovery that employs all the people's talents rather than spends wastefully on welfare for the excluded.
We now intend to expand these to include indicators into the human rights sphere, and here I wholly endorse the OHCHR approach set out by Craig this morning.
In fact our equality measurement framework used human rights principles as a starting point, using the ideas of Amartya Sen and essential 'capabilities' that everyone needs to live and to thrive.
The natural extension of this is to look at our human rights obligations, and the HRMF does just this, capturing more of the obligations of the state in terms of the structures of human rights legislation. Anna will go into this in her presentation but the important thing to note for now is that this approach enables us to look at our treaty obligations, and the experiences of people in the UK from both an equality, and a human rights perspective.
But let me lastly say a few words about what is still to be done, and where I hope we can work together.
I think that there are a number of things which between us we could start to think about.
The underlying principle is that it would be helpful if everybody had data, and if that data were comparable.
Let me suggest a few further questions:
How do we focus our work to meet the challenge of the economic downturn? – And how do we understand the impact it has on different groups better? Maybe we should consider a regular survey of the effects of recession and recovery on different social groups?
Secondly, how can we understand from indicators where we need to put more effort into research, where do we need more additional evidence?
Thirdly, what are the common summary indicators that will enable pan-European comparison and rankings, which will tell us how well we've moved, but also tell us where our diversity is significant? Obviously, we don't want to apply the same rules to everybody in Europe.
Fourthly, how can we learn from each other to better capture the experiences of invisible or marginalised groups in Europe?
That's enough from me. I agree with Aurel, that in taking the lead here, the FRA is opening a new chapter on the use of data, by bringing innovation , judgement analysis and insight to our work. We absolutely support that work and want to play a part in moving us to the next stage in the fight for equality and human rights.
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to me.

While more than a dozen All-America football teams are selected annually, the Rimington Trophy committee uses these four prestigious teams to determine a winner:
Because the selectors of these four All-America teams can place Centers in a "mix" of offensive linemen that includes guards and tackles, their 11-man first teams can often have two Centers. Our policy is to count all players that play primarily the Center position for their respective teams as Centers, even though they maybe listed as guards or tackles on the four All American teams.
The Center with the most first team votes will be determined the winner. If there is a tie with first team votes, then the Center with most second team votes will win. If there is still a tie, the winner will be determined by the Rimington Trophy committee.
The winner will be honored at Rimington Trophy Presentation banquet at the Rococo Theater in Lincoln, Nebraska on January 11, 2014.

Power hungry, greedy, and envious. Yes, it will get ugly - especially when Dems realize that Obama will siphon away ´´their money´´ every chance he gets.

Love the comment after the article."Never get between a Democrat and someone else´s money."Obama and his followers do remind me of the African regimes that are destroying former colonies in South Africa, Zimbabwe and now Kenya, among others. Greed has always been a major factor motivating the Democrat party, but when it is coupled with third world aggression and incivility, it really is so very ugly and even more dangerous to our freedoms than most liberals could have hoped for, when they first chose to support this rogue.

I think your name styles mix just fine.
I think that as long as there's some slight connection it works. It might be weird to meet...Zebulon and Carter, but pretty much anything goes. Zack & Chase feel sporty/preppy/crisp/new-school while Lilly is flowery/girly/classic so anything that falls into those categories might "go" the best. Isla & Finn go especially well.

I don't think I'd worry about it, frankly. I think it's more important to pick names you love than names that "go" with the other kids. Tastes change over time.
Case in point: my mom gave me and my 17-months-younger brother really matchy names: Kristen and Justin. We never really thought about it or noticed it. I honestly don't remember ever discussing it once, with anyone. Seven years later, she gave birth to twin boys and named them: Eric and Cody. Pretty different from the older siblings and from each other. She just liked the names, and she never thought much further than that.
I just don't think "sibsets" are an issue, ever, at any time in life other than laying out your sibset for review on Nameberry, LOL! Or just admiring the names aesthetically as a "set." But practically I think it means next to nothing, and ESPECIALLY if you have name regret, I'd go with what you love for hypothetical baby #4, and don't worry about anything else.
FWIW, I think all yr kids have really nice names. :-)Mrs. H.

Bob and Fioramettica or Fiona and Keiko. Only because it would draw attention and cause explanatory conversations.
Of course, it has no real affect on the kids unless one is jealous of the others name--which I could see happening if one girl got a very unisex name and another got a flowery name.Livy/Lucy : Geneva/Gwen : Coralie/Alice : Noelle/Eve

The suggestion that Oquendo was AP's preferred candidate was ultimately a disservice to Oquendo as it portrayed him as a puppet as opposed to the competent coach he is.
What is the Moreno act?
I just don't think winner when I think of Sandberg.
Oquendo would mean continuity and stability as it relates to the coaching staff (which I like very much) while maintaining the same professional atmosphere within the clubhouse. Matheny could take over as 3rd base coach.

Miller, Valdes and Tallet are all available to "sweeten" such a deal.
A tad maybe but I think the fact that and team could still control Rasmus for 3 years increases his value in a trade for future free agents.
I think Colby is worth both Jackson and Thornton tbut the trade would only make sense to me if there is a good chance the Cardinals can sign both of them after the season. I preferred the other rumor for a couple of days back ... Rasmus for Jeremy Hellickson of the Rays.

The Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA) was designed to level the playing field between private citizens and the vast resources of the federal government. EAJA allows plaintiffs to recover attorney fees and other costs from the federal government when they prevail in a case against the government. "Prevailing" may not mean "winning" a case—just prevailing on certain points can merit EAJA reimbursement. Often, the government will simply opt to award EAJA payments by settling out of court.
U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and U.S. Rep. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) introduced S. 1061 and H.R. 1996, the Government Litigation Savings Act, to bring much needed transparency and accountability to EAJA. This commonsense legislation would do the following:
H.R. 1996 passed out of the House Committee on the Judiciary late in 2011. Its tracking and transparency measures were passed by the House as part of a separate bill (H.R. 4078). NCBA urges all members of Congress to cosponsor the Government Litigation Savings Act.
Rancher Tim Lequerica of Oregon would have been put out of business by a suit against the Bureau of Land Management to prevent livestock access to the Owyhee River. So Lequerica and his neighbors, like many other farmers and ranchers have been forced to do, joined the government's case to protect their businesses, paying $42,000 in attorney fees.
The ranchers and special interest groups came to a compromise that would allow livestock access to another source of water. But because the government failed to process the appropriate paperwork, they voluntarily agreed to pay $128,000 in EAJA funds to the special interest groups.
Family farmers and ranchers, like Lequerica, are forced to pay crippling legal fees to fight these extremist attacks. Meanwhile, their tax dollars are paying the attorney fees for the groups attacking them.
Lequerica explains, "My tax money paid for every part of the litigation. I paid my personal attorneys to represent me; my tax dollars paid the federal government who failed to do all the paperwork correctly; and my tax dollars paid [these special interests] to sue the federal government."
