The "RECTIFY" Cast on Getting Into Character
Daniel's freedom echoes throughout Paulie creating schisms in both the community and his family. What's it like to have a son, brother or suspected killer released from death row? How does that affect a family—and an entire town? And, as an actor, how does one prepare for such intense, unconventional role? Aden Young, Adelaide Clemens, Johnny Ray Gill, J. Smith-Cameron, Bruce McKinnon, Jake Austin Walker, Sean Bridgers and Michael O'Neil discuss the research they did (or didn't do) and how they view their characters.
Aden Young: Things certainly can affect you if you're not careful, and in some ways Daniel got into my brain stem. He wanted to remind me that I was confused and sad, that you have to feel to communicate this fiction that's based on someone's truth. Because you want to give that a certain justice.
Adelaide Clemens: She is [naïve]. She's so clumsy. For example, her wardrobe. I really urged the costume designer, in the first season, we really made sure that… she doesn't know what to wear. She just buys whatever is cheapest. She shops at Walmart. She doesn't see herself as powerfully attractive. She doesn't see herself as that kind of person. She's a very functional woman.
Johnny Ray Gill: I didn't do much research, honestly, because as an African American man I am always under the threat of the criminal justice system and the prison industrial complex. It preys on us, it eats us for lunch. We are its dinner, its main course. For example, black men are incarcerated at roughly six times the rate of whites. If the current incarceration trends continue, one in every three black males born today can expect to go to prison at some point in their life.
J. Smith-Cameron: The famous areas of conflict that mothers and daughters have–I've felt that with my mother and my daughter. But in this case, Amantha is a perfect storm. She's not easy for anyone to get along with–she's fantastic and a heroine, but she's challenging. I think if you look closely, Janet is overwhelmed by Amantha, but she really admires her. She's just a different animal.
Bruce McKinnon: Over half of our regular cast have Southern roots, and those that don't like Aden [Young] and Adelaide [Clemens], they have such wonderful talent that they just brought that to their research and how they went about doing their roles. They just nailed it on the head. Even though I was born in New Orleans and grew up in East Tennessee, I still have to be really conscious to make sure I pronounce certain words correctly.
Jake Austin Walker: I've got a 12-year-old sister, so it's easy to fall into that dorky brother-sister relationship with Amantha (Abigail Spencer). I also have a 24-year-old brother, which definitely helped with both Daniel and Ted Jr. (Clayne Crawford). I always wanted acceptance from my brother, and I was always so curious about whatever he was doing. I wanted to be my brother; he was just kind of like my idol.
Sean Bridgers: I know just enough to play the scene in front me, and that's kind of all I want to know. In terms of the grand design, I don't know and I don't think anyone would tell me if I asked. As an actor, you play it moment to moment. And with a show as well-written as [RECTIFY], that's the best way to do it.
Michael O'Neil: The Innocence Project and…the Southern Poverty Law Center [have] been trying to deal for a long time with some of these inequalities in the justice system, as have other agencies and states that are looking into this. So in that regard, the great volume of information is flowing against my character, so I've simply had to, in many respects, discard that and dig in my heels to go, "You know what? That might be fine for you, but not in my little town. Not on my watch. There's a blood death that's owed here, and we're going to make sure that's paid."

Poroelastic materials are commonly used in passive noise control due to their low cost and relative efficient acoustic absorption characteristics in the middle to high frequency range. They are constituted by a rigid and a fluid phase responsible for the dissipation mechanisms attenuating the propagation of acoustic waves inside the material. The understanding of these phenomena and their translation into parameters existing in the mathematical formulations for poroelastic materials are of paramount importance in the design of optimized structures for choosing the proper materials for each application. This work presents studies on the validation of a melamine foam characteristics using the equivalent fluid model from Johnson-Champoux-Allard (JCA) and a rigid structure. Experiments and finite element simulations of an impedance tube using the LMS Virtual.Lab® software were executed and validated to determine the necessary material properties for the equations involved in the numerical analysis. Results show a good approximation between numerical and experimental data, which allows a better understanding on how to use the JCA model in complex simulations using poroelastic material layers for acoustic absorption purposes.

Open thread
So in the past few days I've had to delete several off topic comments and redirect the commenters to the most recent open thread (prior to this post, that would have been the Weekend Roundup). Evidently it's not enough to have an open thread; it's got to be at the the top of the page! So here tis. A few pieces of content to collect on our way to conversational critical mass:
- Looks like a former DMB singer may be on American Idol tonight.
- Via Daniel Mount, some more and better Gold City YouTubes are up. The sound quality is a lot better (as is the quality of singing), though the zoom was so far out, I found myself watching via the monitors just like a regular nosebleeder at the concert.
- Speaking of YouTube: suffering through all these crummy, unwatchable, often unlistenable youtube bootlegs that come across the interwebs, I wonder: why don't groups find a
groupiediehard fan with some tech savvy and christen that fan YouTube Videographer for the group, thus guaranteeing that there will always be at least a few quality clips out there in the mix? Because some of the tripe that fans post really just doesn't do the artists or their appeal any favors.
- My old friend, and one of Avery's very first readers, The Art Coach (who created this site's logo), is creating a piece of artwork every day this year and offering it for sale on a first-come basis. Check it out.
- Finally, the Florida Boys (see, I didn't call them "fake") created some really bad King-sized crimes against fashion at Graceland recently.

dream/killer Trailer (2015)
19 April 2015 Factual 107 mins
In 2005, 20-year-old Ryan Ferguson was convicted and sentenced to 40 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. dream/killer is the story of how his father Bill embarked on 10-year campaign to prove Ryan's innocence. The film is chock-full of incredible characters. From the questionable District Attorney Kevin Crane, and the highly-confused witness Chuck Erickson, to the high-powered Chicago attorney Kathleen Zellner, the doc depicts both a highly flawed justice system, as well as one that can work brilliantly.

On this seventh week of 52 weeks to see your life nutritionally I'm doing something a little bit different. I'm not chatting directly about nutrition, but instead about how you measure your health. Do you know your numbers?
Today, I'm sharing the 5 numbers you need to know for American Heart Month.
Not to talk politics, BUT…Since 1964 when President Lyndon B. Johnson first declared February as American Heart Month, the government and American Heart Association bring attention to America's #1 killer each February. Not to be so dramatic or anything.
Chances are you know someone intensely affected by heart disease or stroke. They are the leading causes of death in the United States leading to more than 17 million deaths each year.
According to the American Heart Association, the number of deaths due to heart disease and stroke is expected to climb to about 24 million by 2030. Now that is a scary number.
There are things you KNOW you should be doing to keep your heart healthy…
- Eat right — eat more veggies, less saturated fat, more fiber, less packaged foods.
- Move more — cardiovascular exercise and strength training are both part of a heart-healthy exercise routine.
- Stop smoking or never start. End of story.
- Limit your alcohol intake to true moderation. Research shows that MODERATE alcohol intake — in adults who already drink — can benefit your heart…but what is moderation? That's 1-2 drinks daily for women and men, respectively.
- Get enough sleep.
- Stress less.
- Love more.
But do you know your NUMBERS?
I'm a true believer in owning your health. You MUST be educated. You NEED to be your own advocate. It is ESSENTIAL that you know your numbers.
And what numbers should you really know?
Here are 5 Numbers You Need to Know for American Heart Month…
1.Cholesterol — the good, the bad, and the
ugly total!
Cholesterol is essential for your body. So essential that your body even makes it on its own. You need cholesterol to make hormones, building blocks of cells and tissues and for your brain to function properly. But too much cholesterol in your blood is typically a bad sign, which is why you should know your cholesterol levels and the family history associated with them.
Your total cholesterol should be less than 200 mg/dL.
But look beyond your total cholesterol number and focus on the ratio of your "good" (HDL) and "bad" (LDL) cholesterol.
The "good" HDL cholesterol carries cholesterol back to your liver to be put to work or to be rid of from your body. You want your HDL cholesterol to be greater than 40 or 50 mg/dL for women and men, respectively.
Your "bad" LDL cholesterol carries cholesterol within your blood…and that's exactly where we DON'T want it to be! Having high LDL cholesterol levels is typically associated with increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and atherosclerosis (plaque build up in your vessels). Aim for your LDL cholesterol to be less than or equal to 100 mg/dL.
2. Hemoglobin A1c
This is one of my favorites — especially for Millennials! Your hemoglobin A1c is the measure of how much sugar you have attached to the oxygen-carrying protein [hemoglobin] in your blood. It measures your blood sugar control over the previous 60 to 90 days. If your A1c level is elevated then you are at risk for diabetes.
A normal A1c level is 4-5.7%. Equal to or any greater than 5.7% may be indicative of pre-diabetes or diabetes.
I said this is a favorite number to know especially for Millennials because many physicians do not routinely check A1c in this young population without overt risk factors and I think they should. The earlier you start to see this number creep up, the earlier you can intervene and try to make some changes to your diet and lifestyle that can benefit your health yearsss in advance.
Ohhh the very debated BMI. Your BMI is a measure of your weight in relation to your height (kg/m2). You can figure out your BMI using online calculators like this one. BMI is widely used in clinical nutrition to categorize weight — underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese. Since BMI only takes two factors — weight and height — into account it is not the be all end all, but I do think it is an important number to know.
Bodybuilders, for example, may be considered overweight or obese even though their body fat percentage is very low. This where a comprehensive picture is much more necessary than just one number! If you have any questions about what your BMI means, feel free to reach out!
4. Waist circumference
I happen to like using waist circumference to measure health WAY more than BMI or even just weight alone. Studies consistently show that individuals who carry weight centrally (or "apple" shapes) are at increased risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes than those who carry weight more evenly distributed throughout their body or are "pear" shaped.
For optimal health, your waist should measure less than or equal to 35 or 40 inches for women and men, respectively. If you're looking to drop a few lbs, check out some of my tips based on your body size.
5. Blood pressure
Blood pressure is a measure of the pressure with which blood flows through your blood vessels. It's related to your heartbeat, the diameter of your blood vessels and more. There are two numbers that make up your blood pressure — your systolic pressure (the top number) and diastolic pressure (the bottom number). The systolic pressure is the pressure with which blood leaves your heart to flow to the rest of your body, whereas the diastolic number is the pressure in your vessels upon returning to your heart, in between heartbeats. Ideal blood pressure is 90-120/60-80 mmHg.
Elevated blood pressure can mean a variety of things, but is often associated with increased risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke, smoking, lack of physical activity and more. Sodium (salt) consumption may increase your blood pressure reading but is typically not a cause of consistently elevated blood pressure. However, if you do have high blood pressure, following a reduced sodium diet may help you lower your blood pressure. You can find out more about blood pressure and what your blood pressure means from the American Heart Association.
Aaaand there you have it! 5 numbers you need to know for American Heart Month. Of course I think there are SO many more parameters to measure your health than just these 5 numbers (click here to see some more!) but if you're not familiar with these basic 5 I think it's time to go on your first date and really learn what these mean! As always, nothing written above is meant to substitute any medical advice from your physician and if you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
Have a fab Sunday and I hope you're starting to see your life a bit more nutritionally these days!

Dr. Richard Gladding of Mahoning Township is quite elated with Jimmy Carter's election as President of the United States, and politics have nothing to do with his feelings. Dr. Gladding and President Carter know each other personally. The two graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. in 1946. In fact, they were both in the same squad and same company for three years.

Mr Brüderle, minister for economics and technology, said the regional unit of banks needed a "shake-up", adding that "one Landesbank would be plenty".
His comments, made in an interview with Der Tagesspiegel newspaper over the weekend, are likely to receive support throughout the German government, which has called for consolidation within the sector over the past few months.
There are currently 11 state-owned Landesbanks based across Germany.
Despite their original aim of boosting regional industry and financing the family Mittelstand firms, most became heavily embroiled in the economic downturn by straying into different forms of leverage.
The financial crisis highlighting weaknesses in their balance sheets, with several – including Bayerische Landesbank in Bavaria – forced to write down billions of euros worth of investors.
Despite this, some state governments, which partly own the lenders, are still reluctant to usher in a wave of consolidation as they fear heavy job cuts.
The VOeB association for German public banks also rejected Mr Brüderle's demand, claiming the lenders were an indispensable part of the regional financing system which helped small and medium-sized firms.
A spokesman for the association said: "[I am surprised] that a minister responsible for small and medium-sized businesses makes suggestions that would massively hurt financial support for those firms."

There were so many different ways to describe what came through when I asked 'What am I Master of?'. The first word that came through was Master of the Weave, and when I explored that it made sense, I weave the frequencies of creative potential and seed them into being through myself and others.
Then I had the feeling that weaving wasn't quite enough, it was more around being an enabler, an initiator, someone who helps put something in place that then becomes the way others connect or know themselves more clearly.
If I take an example from my background in telecommunications I am a Frequency Modulator. These technologies take radio frequencies and Modulate them to enable us to tune our radios or TV's to channels and receive our programs. My specialism is to find the newest frequency, maybe a pulse or spark of creation that previously could not be seen, felt or heard, and then bring it in, modulate or transform it so that others can receive, connect and play with the new.
A similar technology that goes some way to explain it would be the router that connects to your cable or telephone line giving you access to WI-FI and the Internet. I'm not just the router though, I'm part of the team that set up the network in the first place, the Telefonica or Orange, maybe AT+T or Bell. I discover and initiate the creative pulse that supports the new.
I find the frequency, discover how to share it, then set up the network to facilitate it's sharing. The feeling I get is that these are frequencies of Love, of divine connection, they carry joy and bliss with them, as we tune in, listen and play.
Think of a call centre that answers questions on a particular product or service. How did that get set up? Someone designed it, put in the technology, trained the people, advertised the lines, defined the service levels and so forth. Lots of background work to make it possible for us customers to call and be awed by excellent service (the vision).
So that's my mastery, and what is amazing, I've been doing it all my life in one form or another. My career has been energised with my passion for technology, for understanding how things work, and spotting the thing that has yet to be developed or deployed.
Now my passion is to create a new network to release this divine potential into the world (with wonderful people like you). It's time to Modulate the Quantum Pulse.
Mmmm, now that's what I call high energy.

Immediately Send a Cease And Desist Letter to Assett Acceptance
AUTHOR: Michelle - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, July 19, 2007POSTED: Thursday, July 19, 2007
I am not an attorney, nor should you consider this as legal advise other than me trying to direct you in the correct path to handling your issue.
First off, take a deep breath and relax. These collectors are bottom feeders, if the statute of limitations has expired on this debt, then you owe no one a dime and they cannot legally collect on it, as long as you act quickly and don't ignore it.
I dealt with Assett Acceptance and Shekinah approximately 1 yr ago. Shekinah, tried to harass me into paying for an alleged Citibank account that they claim I had 10 yrs ago. They literally called my cell phone nonstop for days and tried to intimidate me on the phone, claiming they were going to extract the money I owed them from me. When I sent them a cease and desist letter and demanded them to send proof of the alleged debt they simply ignored my request and continued to report the debt on my credit report. Needless to say, I got fed up with them and hired an attorney. The attorney requested documentation and when they couldn't furnish the proof, he threatened to sue them and they dropped their claim. Several Months later, I receive phone calls from Assett Acceptance who purchased the account from Shekinah- LOL.
When I checked my credit report, they reported it 3 times on each credit report- as different accounts, updating the Last Date of Activity to the current month and continued updating it at 3 time increments. It nearly dropped my credit rating by 150 pts. I can laugh at it now, but back then it wasn't so funny. As you can see neither of these companies are functioning on a full deck.
So my attorney went through the whole ordeal again. Finally after a few months, they dropped their collection efforts.
As I said above, Assett Acceptance and Shekinah are both well known bottom feeders in the collection industry. You may want to read up on these companies at Bud Hibbs website. He has a lot of useful information that is worth reading.
These collectors buy old worthless, charged-off accounts for pennies on the dollar because no other reputable law firm or collector would take a risk on collecting off them. Once owned, they inflate the value of the portfolio, they send out dunning notices and attempt to collect at a ridiculous inflated profit.
They also intentionally and deliberately change the date of last activity on the account, which is a way to scam consumers into thinking they are entitled to money they would not legally be allowed to collect. This is a violation of collection practices and the FCRA. This is a standard procedure for Assett Acceptance and these collectors, it is known as debt re-aging. This is how they sue on a debt that has an expired SOL. [www.budhibbs.com]
Important: DO NOT ignore this company, as they will file in court, they will attempt to default you if you do not answer and they will get a judgment.
NY UCC, Section 2--725. Statute of Limitations in Contracts for Sale. (1) An action for breach of any contract for sale must be commenced within four years after the cause of action has accrued. By the original agreement the parties may reduce the period of limitation to not less than one year but may not extend it. (2) A cause of action accrues when the breach occurs, regardless of the aggrieved party's lack of knowledge of the breach. Contract for lease of goods: 4 years (N. Y. U.C.C. 2-A-506(1).
The statute of limitations (SOL) for a delinquent debt is the time limit for the creditor to file a lawsuit. This period starts when the debtor becomes delinquent, not the date that the collector chooses to report on your credit. The fact that the SOL has "run" (expired) on a particular debt will not necessarily prevent a lawsuit from being filed (via a Summons and Complaint), but the defendant can have the suit dismissed on this basis. [www.cardreport.com]
In NY there is apparently a 4-5 yr SOL, according to the internet research. What I would recommend you doing is sending an immediate cease and desist letter. You can find samples of these letters online. Also make sure you mention that you are fully aware that the SOL is expired and you intend to use this defense should action be brought against you. Also consider adding this phrase: Furthermore, if any negative information is placed on my credit bureau reports by your agency, this will cause me to file suit against you and your organization, both personally and corporately, to seek any and all legal remedies available to me by law.
Send the letter certified, return receipt, and keep a copy of the letter and the signed return receipt for your records. You can also CC: the Attorney Generals Office and FTC in your areas and send them a copy as well. It doesn't hurt. They try to intimidate you; why not put some pressure on them.
Your calls and letters should cease rather quickly. Remember these companies work on numbers, if the debt is this old, once they receive the letter and know you are aware that you do not Legally owe them a dime, legally they can't win a case in court with an expired SOL and you are responsive. It wouldn't be worth their time or money to continue harassing you under the circumstances and in turn risking a lawsuit being filed against their company.
I would start here; if you are unsuccessful, Bud Hibbs website has listings of law firms that you can contact that are experienced in handling debt collection against these agencies.
Hope this helps.

Send via Registered Mail with Return Receipt and put the Registered Mail # on the letter. This firm can't touch you on this old debt that's way past the statue of limitations. don't let them scare you into paying with lies: like they'll have you arrested. Many collection agencies work like this. don't fall for this tactic.
Be sure to check your credit report to see if they've messed with it. If they have, request a validation on the debt from the credit bureaus, not this collection agency.
Lastly, don't pay them one penny. making any payment validates the debt and re-starts the Statute of Limitations. they'd love this. good luck.

Over at The Fix: Short Fiction Review, I've been writing a column called Rocket Science in which I've been working my way through the short fiction Hugo Award winners since the beginning of time. Which was… 1955. I've reached the late 1960's, but The Fix hasn't been updated since my previous column on May 15.
So, I'm going to continue my tour here. In this setting, I'll discuss one story at a time, or maybe a couple at a time if they fit together in some way. The next year I'll be covering is 1968, the tumultuous year in which I was born. The Hugo Winners that year:
Novella: "Weyr Search" by Anne McCaffrey
Novella: "Riders of the Purple Wage" by Philip Jose Farmer
Novelette: "Gonna Roll Them Bones" by Fritz Leiber
Short Story: "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison
Here are the existing Rocket Science columns over at The Fix:
1958 – 1959
1960 – 1962
1963 – 1965
1966 – 1967

Star Wars production company Lucasfilm, a division and subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, is reportedly suing businesses that intends to impart the "ways of the Jedi."
Epic franchise Star Wars that was first created in 1977 has become a worldwide cult. The success sprouted to merchandise, animation series and more films. Understandably, Lucasfilm became "possessive" of the brand and trademarked everything in the franchise.
The company in fact trademarked everything from the word droid, the word Strikes Back, the word Jedi, THX Deep Note sound, Stormtrooper helmets and of course, the lightsaber. Lucasfilm previously sued businesses for merely sounding like Strikes Back as to New York's beer brewery Strikes Bock.
A website reported that the Star Wars company even interfered Michael Koehler from creating a life-size At-At Walker from The Empire Strikes Back. Upon the announcement of his plans, Koehler received cash donations from various Star Wars fans in support of his project. The plan was stopped by the company when it claimed it owned the Walkers.
According to latest reports, Lucasfilm is again suing this time an individual named Michael Brown. The Hollywood Reporter claimed Michael Brown operates businesses that offer Star Wars or Jedi related skills.
The site also reported that the Star Wars franchise has currently moved the complaint to California federal court. The complaint includes "cybersquatting, trademark infringement and unfair competition."
The Star Wars company added "defendants regularly use the Lucasfilm Trademarks without authorization in connection with their businesses." The statement continued with, "Defendants use a logo that is nearly identical, and confusingly similar, to the franchise's trademark Jedi Order logo."
Brown allegedly applied for a trademark permission for Lightsaber Academy as a response to the complaint.

I'd like to help out in my grandson's Kindergarten class. Parents used to do that occasionally when my son was in school. I'm just not sure if grandparents would be allowed .. Or if they allow anyone to do that anymore.
I'd actually like to lick a rainbow.
Nope. Not too long ago I had to have the vet put my dog to sleep. 😂
I have a cat named Pocky and two ferrets. The boy is named Kes and the girl is named Kaden.
That's Kes!

REALLY REALLY Good!!
By Ladybug
from NT
These are divine! We gave them as gifts and also treated our house to some. I like the touch of salt on top which adds a zingy taste surprise. This format, quantities and combos work well and is a very good value.Thanks for a great product:)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Caramel....a Fave!
By Benz11
from Fonthill, Ont
These caramels arrived just as described. I intend to use these on my Christmas treat trays. They look very well done. I am sure they will be a hit.
Very good caramels
By KJ

Very good caramels. They're chewy without being too chewy and not overly sweet either.
Hepa filters cause Asthma, headaches and othe health issues
By JANET
from NORTH YORK
How many people have to state and beg for NUT FREE options?There is no ingredient list on the website to see that there are nuts in the product!!Allergies can seriously harm and kill people (lets see if this actually gets posted).PLEASE be specific about nuts.LABEL AS SUCH BEFORE WE BUY.START THINKING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY.Those allergic to nuts, eggs etc. need to be given consideration at holiday times, so we can take advantage of these choclates, without getting sick and needing a $200.00 epi-pen to get thru eating a chocolate you thought was safe.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Just ok
By doxie lady
from Ontario
I'm posting again as I don't see my review.Caramels are my personal fave. I was excited to buy these and wrap for my husband. They came all jumbled in a big box. Zero presentation unless you wanted to stick one row in a stocking.My biggest issue is that there are NUTS in the caramel!!! Who does that??? Instead of just smooth creamy caramel, they had nuts in them. That's just wrong, not to mention it's not stated in the description. I have a daughter allergic to nuts!The sea salt added nothing and I personally scraped it off lol. SS price was still way too expensive for what you get.
Didn't meet expectations
Nothing special about these.Very disappointed that the caramels had nuts in them! Way to ruin them.Every year I get sucked in to buying these crazy expensive chocolates for the holidays. It won't happen again.

Pope John Paul II addressed via satellite from the Vatican this morning over a thousand priests from eighty countries gathered on the island of Malta to discuss the theme "Priests, forgers of saints for the new millennium: Following the footsteps of the Apostle Paul," and told them that they were called to be apostles of the Word and prophets of hope, inspired by the model of Mary.
The congress, organized by the Congregation for the Clergy began on October 18 and ends on October 23.
Pointing out that Malta is "an island that preserves the vivid memory of the passage of St. Paul," the Holy Father said that Christ was inviting the priests "to be His apostles, especially with holiness of life."
"You must make the power of the word of truth of the Gospel resound, the word which can only profoundly change man's heart and give him peace," said the Pope, "in this way, you will be credible teachers of the life of the Gospel and prophets of hope."
"In a troubled and divided world, marked by violence and conflicts, there are those who ask themselves if it is still possible to talk of hope," said the Pope. "But precisely in this moment it is necessary to courageously present the true and complete hope of man which is Christ Our Lord."
The Holy Father pointed to Our Lady who "showed her complete availability to do God's will" in responding with her "fiat" to the message of the Archangel Gabriel, as a model to inspire priests. Before his death on the Cross, Jesus entrusted His mother to John: "From that day Mary became the mother of all creatures, especially your mother, to accompany you on your daily path. Go to her constantly in your ministry."

Suffolk College board member forgoes a full term
Former Suffolk union official Arthur Cliff may win the record for having the shortest tenure as a member of the Suffolk Community College board of trustees.
Cliff, former president of the Superior Officers Association, only appointed last December, has told legislative officials he did not wish to seek a full six-year term for personal reasons. Cliff was appointed to fill the remainder of former trustee Sol Fenchel's term which is up June 30. The resolution which would have given Cliff a full term was withdrawn last week.
The likely replacement appointee is expected to be Denise Sullivan, daughter of the late Presiding Officer William Lindsay, whose record eight-year tenure as legislative leader ended last fall when he died of cancer.
Sullivan is a Suffolk Community College graduate and now an assistant superintendent in the Hampton Bays School District.

Supplement Guide for Strength Training
Whether you are an athlete, strength trainer, bodybuilder, crossfitter, or just a fitness enthusiast, building strength is likely at the forefront of your athletic goals. Our physical strength affects many aspects of our lives, from how we look to how we feel, to how we perform everyday tasks and job duties. Whether you're just starting out, or you're an experienced weightlifter looking for a competitive edge, you're probably wondering how you can gain an advantage and reach your strength-training goals faster.
Well, obviously the number one component of successful strength building is strength training itself. You need to have a regular schedule set to ensure you train often and consistently. If you have not yet established a schedule, check out some workout plans for inspiration. After strength training, diet is the number 2 most important aspect. Ensure you have a proper diet, and you'll have a huge head start on reaching your fitness goals. Beyond diet and exercise, we come to the third most important aspect of successful strength training: supplementation.
Now, we enter the world of fitness supplements. Whey protein, creatine, amino acids, glutamine – just to name a few. These products are found in every drugstore, every gym, and most grocery stores. They are used every day by millions of people around the world, who use them to help meet their fitness goals. Today, we're here specifically to talk about the best supplements for strength – the best products to use if your main goal is to increase strength. Let's dive right in!
How Can Supplements Help You Increase Strength?
In order to gain strength and build muscle, supplements are not required. With a proper exercise routine and a good diet, you can grow strong without the help of supplements. However, good strength supplements can speed the process up, allowing you to reach your goals quicker. They can also help to keep your body more healthy, help to prevent injuries, and limit muscle and joint damage. For anyone considering a long-term strength training routine, supplements are a must.
Supplements can help you increase strength in a wide variety of ways. From helping you exercise for longer, to improving nutrient uptake and protein synthesis, to shortening recovery time, various top supplements for strength can provide numerous benefits. We'll discuss individual products and how they can help you reach your goals in the guide below, but for now, let's take a look at just a few of the key benefits you can enjoy from adding supplements to your routine:
- Increased muscle growth
- Improved athletic performance
- Increased energy
- Improved focus
- Increased strength
- Improved endurance
- Increased muscle pump
- Decreased muscle soreness
- Faster recovery time
- Decreased risk of injury
- Decreased risk of joint damage
- Improved overall health
Now, keep in mind that there is no single supplement that can provide all of these benefits; rather, each product offers its own unique benefits. Most weightlifters choose a variety of products to take, often called their "stack". For example, while whey protein helps immensely with post-workout recovery and muscle growth, it doesn't help improve your performance at the gym. Conversely, creatine can help boost energy levels and temporarily increase strength while working out, yet it does little for post-workout recovery. So, clearly it's best to combine the use of several products in order to get the best results.
Why Should You Take Strength Supplements?
As we mentioned in the previous section, supplements certainly are not necessary in order to gain strength and build more muscle. However, they provide a huge helping hand in that pursuit. They can help you grow stronger, faster, all while limiting the amount of muscle soreness and potential long-term damage that you may incur from strength training.
So long as you choose quality, safe products from reliable companies, there is little reason not to take effective strength supplements. Every product on this list is safe to use, with little to no serious side effects. So long as you use these products as directed, you can reap significant rewards with a very low risk of side effects or negative results.
With that being said, there are plenty of strength "supplements" out there that are not worth taking. The supplement industry is constantly coming up with new products, some of which are effective and safe, others of which are not worth your time or money to try. This is why it's important to be an informed consumer, and to read guides like the one you're reading right now. On this list of the best supplements for strength, we've only included products that are safe, effective, and backed by scientific research.
In short, you should take strength supplements because they can help you reach your goals faster, while limiting any potential harm that lifting heavy weights can cause over time.
10 Most Important Supplements for Building Strength
10. L-Carnitine
What is L-Carnitine?
L-carnitine is an amino acid that has been the subject of decades of clinical research. It is known as one of the best strength supplements because it can help increase muscle mass, improve bone mass, stimulate fat loss, support the immune system, and more. In the body, L-carnitine is naturally synthesized by combining lysine and methionine. In supplement form, L-carnitine provides an array of benefits which make it a great choice for those looking to increase strength.
How L-Carnitine Helps Increase Strength
In the athletic community, L-carnitine is primarily known as a weight loss tool. This is because L-carnitine has tremendous benefits in regards to fat loss. Basically, L-carnitine helps transfer long-chain fatty acids like triglycerides into mitochondria, which allows those fats to be burned as energy. In other words, it helps break up fat stores to be used as energy. In addition to the weight loss benefits, L-carnitine can:
- Helps with fat loss
- Frees up fat to be used as energy
- Useful for gaining muscle definition
- Stimulates muscle growth
- Supports healthy bones
- Supports the immune system
- Supports healthy brain function
L-carnitine is useful for gaining strength, but perhaps its main benefit is in fat loss. Now, fat loss doesn't directly relate to strength gains, but what fat loss is useful for is showing off those strength gains! If you've ever gone through a bulk cycle, you know the frustration of having massive muscles that are not defined at all thanks to a layer of fat. L-carnitine can help you cut down and gain more muscle definition, which makes it easier to show off your hard-earned muscles!
How to Take L-Carnitine
L-carnitine supplements come in various forms; pills, capsules, powders, and even liquids. Typically dosage ranges from 500-2000mg. For best results, follow the instructions found on the product packaging, and never take more than the recommended amount.
In order for carnitine to be effectively absorbed, it needs to be taken with food. More specifically, carbs are key to proper L-carnitine absorption. It's best to take your dose during or shortly after a meal. It's best to take after workouts, but really you can take it at any point during the day, so long as it's with a meal.
L-Carnitine Side Effects
In supplement form, L-carnitine can cause minor side effects like heartburn, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea, and a few others. Many people do not experience side effects, but some do. More serious side effects are possible if you go over the recommended dosage amount.

9. Zinc
What is Zinc?
Zinc is a mineral that is essential for good health. It is found in some foods, as well as in multivitamins and various supplements. It's also a common addition to health products such as cold remedies, cough drops, etc. Zinc plays a number of key roles in the body, including supporting immune health, promoting protein synthesis, and much more.
How Zinc Helps Increase Strength
Zinc is not traditionally known as a workout supplement, but nonetheless it was an easy choice for our list of good supplements for strength. Primarily, this is because zinc is involved in the process of protein synthesis, and because zinc has been shown to naturally increase testosterone levels. Beyond that, zinc provides the following benefits:
- Promotes protein synthesis
- Helps boost athletic performance
- Supports the immune system
- Helps to naturally increase testosterone levels
- Helps wounds heal faster
- Helps muscles recover faster
- Required for cell division
- Supports overall health
So, from boosting testosterone levels to playing a key role in protein synthesis to helping muscles recover, it's not hard to see why zinc made our list of the best strength supplements. Zinc can also be helpful in warding off illnesses, so it should be in everyone's medicine cabinet anyways!
How to Take Zinc
Zinc supplements are typically in pill/capsule form, so they are easy to take. Just pop one with a glass of water, and you're good to go. The recommended daily intake for zinc is 11mg for men and 8mg for women, but it's considered safe to take up to 40mg per day. When figuring out how much to take, keep in mind that you likely already consume some zinc from your daily diet. It's best to take zinc supplements with food.
Zinc Side Effects
The most common zinc side effects are stomach upset, nausea, etc. That said, side effects are rare, so long as zinc is taken as instructed.

8. Multivitamin
What Are Multivitamins?
Multivitamins are something that most health-conscious individuals are probably already familiar with. These ubiquitous products are found on store shelves and medicine cabinets worldwide, and are the most-used health supplement out there. Multivitamins contain a wide range of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, combined into a single simple package. Basically, they serve as a sort of nutritional insurance; making it easier to ensure that you reach your daily nutritional needs.
How Multivitamins Help Increase Strength
Multivitamins are not something you immediately think of when you think about strong strength supplements, but they provide numerous benefits nonetheless. Multivitamins are useful supplements for a wide range of people, weightlifters and bodybuilders included. Basically, they help to improve overall health and wellbeing by filling any nutritional gaps left by your diet. For weightlifters, the most notable benefits are as follows:
- Improves post-workout recovery
- Supports the immune system
- Supports overall health
- Replaces lost nutrients
- Supports bone and joint health
- Prevents nutrient deficiencies
- Helps balance out your diet
- Improves sleep quality
- Supports healthy energy levels
It's impossible to list all the benefits of multivitamins, both because there are so many, and because different people will experience different benefits. If you have a healthy, balanced diet and you get lots of nutrients already, you may not experience any benefits at all. On the other hand, if you have any nutritional gaps in your diet, you will likely experience notable benefits when adding a multivitamin.
How to Take Multivitamins
Multivitamins are very easy to take. All you need to do is follow the instructions found on the product packaging. Generally, that will involve simply taking one serving – usually a pill or capsule – per day. In general it's best to take multivitamins with a meal, as that will increase nutrient absorption. Do keep in mind that multivitamins are no replacement for a proper diet – make sure you're eating a healthy diet as well.
Multivitamin Side Effects
So long as they are taken as instructed, multivitamins should not cause any side effects. However, some negative effects are always possible. Some people report headaches and stomach discomfort, particularly when they first start taking a new multivitamin. To help avoid side effects, take multivitamins with food.

7. Fish Oil/Omega-3
What is Fish Oil?
Fish oil is a natural supplement derived from the oils of fatty fish, including salmon, mackerel, and others. Fish oil is a popular supplement for a variety of reasons – it can help to improve skin and hair health, reduce inflammation, speed recovery time, and much more. It's packed full of helpful omega-3 fatty acids, which are the reason fish oil is so beneficial. You can obtain omega-3's from a variety of sources, including eating fish itself, but fish oil supplements are by far the easiest and most efficient way to increase your intake of omega 3 fatty acids.
How Fish Oil Helps Increase Strength
Fish oil is a staple for many athletes for a variety of reasons, but primarily because it's very useful for reducing inflammation. For weightlifters, that benefit can translate to faster recovery times, less muscle soreness, etc. Fish oil can also offer many more benefits, including:
- Reduces inflammation
- Speeds up recovery time
- Reduces muscle pain and soreness
- Boosts fat burning
- Supports healthy joints
- Stimulates muscle growth
- Supports healthy hair, skin and eyes
- Reduces the risk of heart disease
- Supports overall health
Other noteworthy benefits for a long-term outlook are fish oil's ability to support healthy joints (which is very important for strength trainers), and its ability to stimulate fat burning. All of these benefits add up to one very useful supplement and one of the best supplements for strength trainers overall.
How to Take Fish Oil
Fish oil is a supplement that is best taken every day. You can simply add it to your regular diet and supplement routine. It's easy on the stomach, and quite simple to take. It's best to take your dose with a meal for optimal absorption. For post-workout recovery, taking a serving after your workout is ideal. It's also generally safe to take multiple servings per day.
Fish Oil Side Effects
For the most part, very few side effects are reported from these supplements. The most common is a fishy aftertaste after taking a dose – which is not surprising, given what these capsules are filled with! To counter this, either try freezing the capsules, or take your dose with a meal to minimize any unwanted fishiness.

6. Testosterone Booster
What are Testosterone Boosters?
Testosterone boosters are health supplements – typically blends of herbs, minerals and other ingredients – designed to boost natural testosterone production in the body. As you may or may not know, testosterone is a hormone primarily associated with sex drive, strength gains, and increases in muscle mass. It's typically thought of as a "male" hormone, although both sexes have testosterone naturally in their bodies. In testosterone boosters, blends of ingredients are typically used, but the "main players" are often D-aspartic acid, tribulus terrestris, fenugreek, and ZMA.
How Testosterone Boosters Help Increase Strength
Testosterone boosters help increase strength by boosting the body's natural production of this hormone. Higher testosterone levels can lead to increased motivation to exercise, improved athletic performance, and more strength gains. Testosterone boosters are strong supplements for strength because they can help to:
- Increases testosterone production
- Promotes muscle growth
- Improves athletic performance
- Boosts energy
- Improves post-workout recovery
- Improves sleep quality
- Helps balance mood and motivation
Good test boosters can help improve your performance in the gym, but research shows that they can also help you recover faster post-workout. In addition, they can help your body build more muscle – which, if you're reading this, is probably what you're after!
How to Take Testosterone Boosters
Typically, test boosters come in pill/tablet form, so they are easy to take. Testosterone boosters generally contain a blend of ingredients, designed to work together to produce results. Since each product is a bit different, it's important to follow the dosage instructions on the product you're taking. Do not exceed the recommended dosage.
Testosterone Booster Side Effects
As mentioned, testosterone boosters generally contain a blend of ingredients. Therefore, various side effects are possible depending on how your body reacts to the included ingredients. Some side effects of testosterone boosters include acne, mood changes, etc.

5. Pre-Workout Supplement
What are Pre-Workout Supplements?
Pre-workout supplements, as the name suggests, are supplements designed to be taken immediately before you workout. They provide a number of benefits, from increased energy to improved muscle pump to extended endurance. Basically, these products aim to improve the quality of your workouts and improve the results you see. Although there are several key players, most good pre-workouts will contain a variety of ingredients, blended together to produce optimal results.
How Pre-Workout Supplements Help Increase Strength
Pre-workout supplements are designed to boost your performance during your time at the gym. Obviously, it's not hard to see how a better workout can lead to increased strength. Strength training is the number one way to build strength, so clearly, if you're able to extend your workout duration and intensity through the use of pre-workouts, you'll be able to increase strength more rapidly. In short, pre-workout supplements can help by:
- Increases energy
- Improves workout performance
- Extends endurance
- Sharpens focus
- Increases muscle pump
- Increases strength
- Helps to build more muscle
- Improves the results gained from your workouts
Of course, pre-workouts simply help to improve the quality of your workouts; you still have to put in the work and exercise regularly in order to reap the rewards. But, if you're someone who lifts regularly and you're looking for a helpful push in the right direction, pre-workouts can help.
How to Take Pre-Workout Supplements
As the name suggests, pre-workout supplements are designed to be consumed right before your workout. Give at least 10-20 minutes for the effects to kick in. So, it's best to take a dose around 15-30 minutes before you begin to work out.
Most pre-workouts come in blended powder form. You can mix them into water, juice, or other liquids, or blend them in shakes. As for dosage, the recommended serving size varies depending on the product you choose – be sure to check the label, and don't take more than recommended.
Pre-Workout Supplement Side Effects
Pre-workouts contain a wide variety of ingredients, which means that side effects are always possible. One of the most commonly used ingredients which also happens to cause the most side effects is one you will be familiar with: caffeine. Caffeine, while a great energy booster and pre-workout tool, can also cause dehydration, trouble sleeping, anxiety, etc. Be sure not to take a pre-workout too close to bedtime, as that can make it difficult to fall asleep. Other side effects are possible, as well. Do not take more than the recommended serving size of any pre-workout supplement.

4. Glutamine
What is Glutamine?
Glutamine, or L-glutamine, is an amino acid that is found in some foods as well as naturally in our bodies. Glutamine is actually the most prevalent amino acid in muscle tissues, and for good reason – it plays a huge role in the health of your muscles, and is key in the process of strength increases and muscle growth. Among other benefits, glutamine can help to speed up recovery time, reduce muscle breakdown, support immune health, and more.
How Glutamine Helps Increase Strength
Glutamine is considered one of the top strength supplements primarily because of its ability to improve post-workout recovery. But, the benefits of this amino acid go far beyond that. Here are some of the primary benefits of glutamine supplements:
- Helps speed up recovery time
- Boosts protein synthesis
- Reduces muscle breakdown
- Protects muscle
- Stimulates muscle growth
- Supports the immune system
- Improves human growth hormone production
- Improves workout results
Glutamine is stored naturally in your muscle tissues, so every time you exercise, your body uses these glutamine stores to help protect and repair muscle. By adding more in supplement form, you can boost the natural levels and reap additional benefits.
How to Take Glutamine
Glutamine stores are depleted during intense exercise, and you should aim to replace those stores as soon as possible. Most experts will recommend using glutamine as a post-workout recovery tool, and taking a dose when you get home from the gym – ideally within 30-60 minutes after exercising.
Glutamine typically comes in powdered form, or in premade capsules. A typical dose is 5 grams, and it's generally safe to take multiple doses per day, as needed.
Glutamine Side Effects
For the most part there are no noteworthy side effects of glutamine supplements. In rare cases, folks have reported joint pain, headache, and gastrointestinal issues.

3. BCAAs
What are BCAAs?
BCAAs, best known by their formal name of branched chain amino acids, are a family of amino acids. Consisting of three different acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine), this family is labeled "branched chain" because of the molecular structure of the acids. We could dive into the chemistry and science behind BCAAs, but you're probably more interested in how they can contribute to strength increases. Chiefly, BCAAs are coveted in the strength training community for their role in protein synthesis, and in their ability to help build more muscle.
How BCAAs Help Increase Strength
BCAAs are amino acids, and all amino acids are often referred to as "building blocks" of protein. As you likely know, protein plays a key role in the building of new muscle, as well as in maintaining the health of existing muscle mass. All proteins, and all amino acids, are beneficial to muscle growth – but BCAAs in particular play a very important role. BCAA supplements are strong supplements for strength because they can:
- Helps to build more muscle
- Delays the onset of fatigue during workouts
- Promotes protein synthesis
- Reduces post-workout muscle pain
- Can extend the duration of your workout
- Improves recovery post-workout
- Speeds up recovery time
- Increases strength
You likely already get some BCAAs from your diet. Your body will also have a natural store of these helpful amino acids. However, when you exercise, those stores are used up, leaving your body lacking in these key nutrients. Adding a BCAA supplement can help to replace these lost stores, and if taken before or during your workout, can help to extend the duration of your exercise sessions.
How to Take BCAAs
Branched chain amino acids are beneficial both during and after your workout. If taken before or during your workout, they are useful because they can extend your endurance and help give you a more successful exercise session. If taken after your workout, they provide a useful recovery tool. So, it's best to take BCAAs either immediately before or immediately after exercising, or even during your workout. Taking them hours before a workout will not provide much benefit, however.
As for dosage, you'll typically see doses in the 3-6g range. It's generally safe to take multiple servings per day, if needed. Be sure to follow the written instructions on the product you choose. Also, you may notice a notation that says "BCAAs: 2:1:1" or something similar. This refers to the ratio of each individual BCAA used. In order, the acids are leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Each of these amino acids offer unique benefits, but are generally best used together.
BCAAs Side Effects
Most people will not notice any type of negative side effects from taking BCAAs. With that being said, some new users report feeling loss of coordination and/or fatigue.

2. Whey Protein
What is Whey Protein?
Whey protein is a simple pure protein derived from dairy. It comes in powdered form, and is generally mixed into shakes, drinks, or added to foods. It provides something extremely valuable for strength trainers: pure, high quality protein. As any experienced weightlifter knows, getting adequate protein in your diet is absolutely essential for success in strength training – which is why whey protein is one of the best strength supplements.
Next to creatine, whey protein is perhaps the second most important and effective supplement for strength. In terms of popularity, whey protein is likely the #1 supplement out there. Every day, millions of people use whey protein as a way to gain strength, as well as a diet tool and a workout recovery aid.
How Whey Protein Helps Increase Strength
Whey protein is a good supplement for strength because it helps your muscles recover faster and more completely after your workouts. Basically, when you lift heavy weights your muscles develop micro tears, which need time to heal. Time, and protein, essentially. Protein, which is made up of amino acids, is essential for the proper healing of muscles, which leads to muscle growth. And whey protein has an excellent amino acid profile, meaning it provides a great mix of the best amino acids for muscle growth. In short, whey protein benefits include:
- Increases strength
- Helps to build more muscle
- Reduces post-workout muscle soreness
- Helps heal muscles after working out
- Speeds recovery time post-workout
- Ensures adequate protein intake
- Digests rapidly to provide immediate benefits
- Provides an easy, affordable way to boost protein consumption
As you can see, the benefits of whey protein are quite substantial. The final two bullet points are particularly significant; first, whey protein is very rapidly digested, which means it can get to work very quickly. When it comes to post-workout recovery, speed is essential. This is why so many people consume a whey protein shake immediately after their workout; because within 20-30 minutes, the whey will be digested and muscle-building amino acids will be flowing through your bloodstream. All protein types are beneficial for muscle growth and recovery, but whey is the most beneficial because of its rapid absorption.
Also, as mentioned, whey protein provides a very easy and affordable way to increase protein consumption. Weightlifters and athletes need a ton of protein, often significantly more than the general population. And unless you're eating a pound of steak every day (please don't!) it's going to be tough to meet those protein needs. That is, it would be tough without whey protein! With 20-30g of pure protein in each serving, this affordable and accessible supplement is perhaps the easiest way to boost protein consumption – and luckily, it's also extremely high quality protein!
How to Take Whey Protein
Whey protein is primarily used as a post-workout recovery tool. So, for the most part, it's best to use it immediately following your workouts. The sooner the better, in fact – many people even take a pre-made protein shake with them to the gym. You can use a BlenderBottle (Affiliate Link) to mix a shake on-the-go. If you can't take a shake with you, have one as soon as you get home for best results.
Whey protein always comes in powdered form. Usually it's flavored, with chocolate and vanilla being the most common flavors. You can also find unflavored varieties, which is nice because they are more versatile. As for how to take it, you'll want to mix it into water, milk, or juice, or put it in a shake. Protein shakes are quite popular, and many folks actually mix multiple supplements into them for convenience and efficiency.
As mentioned, typically serving sizes will contain 20-30+ grams of high quality protein. It's possible to take multiple servings each day, and many people do. If you get bored of drinks and shakes, try mixing protein into baked goods, or follow a protein powder recipe to make some tasty treats.
Whey Protein Side Effects
For the most part, whey protein side effects are minimal, and most folks don't notice any at all. Some users report feeling minor stomach upset, gas, etc. but that usually goes away once you take the supplement for a while. There are some long-term concerns with consuming too much protein, but so long as you don't go overboard on the protein shakes, there's nothing to worry about.

1. Creatine
What is Creatine?
Creatine is an organic acid that is found in meat products, particularly in beef and tuna. It's also present in the human body naturally, synthesized through the combination of three key amino acids. Creatine has many roles to play in the human body, but most significant is its role in the production of energy. In its natural state, creatine helps with the production of ATP, and helps create energy for muscles to function properly. In supplement form, creatine functions in essentially the same way; it allows weightlifters to lift heavier weights, for longer, and in turn helps to increase strength and endurance.
How Creatine Helps Increase Strength
Creatine plays a key role in the body's ability to create and use energy. Specifically, it is an integral part of energy use within the muscles. It essentially functions by transferring extra energy into muscle cells, allowing for stronger muscle contractions with increased endurance. Creatine supplementation:
- Increases endurance
- Increases energy
- Delays muscle fatigue
- Temporarily increases strength
- Improves muscle pump
- Improves athletic performance
- Increases protein synthesis
- May help to improve post-workout recovery
As mentioned, creatine is naturally found in the body and in muscle tissues. But, during workouts and other strenuous exercise, creatine stores are depleted. Unless you eat a steak every day, you probably don't have optimal levels of creatine in your system. By supplementing with this ultra-popular product, you can effectively gain temporary strength and endurance, which in turn lets you work out harder, for longer, leading to better results.
No, creatine will not grow muscles on its own. Instead, it gives you a competitive edge, allowing you to push yourself to the limit and reach your goals quicker. There's a reason creatine is one of the most popular and most studied workout supplements in the world: it works!
How to Take Creatine
There is much debate in the fitness community about when and how to take creatine. As far as how, the process is quite simple: creatine is typically offered in powder form, and must be mixed into drinks or shakes to be consumed. Both flavored and flavorless options are available. Personally, I've found that it dissolves better in lukewarm or warm water, rather than cold. It's also quite easy to just throw in a protein shake, particularly if it's a tasteless version. The typical recommended dosage is 5g per day, although some choose to take more at first during the "loading phase". Learn more about creatine loading and creatine cycling here.
As for when to take creatine, that's where the debate comes in. Some claim that creatine should be taken immediately before a workout; some claim it should be taken after. Others claim that timing is irrelevant; so long as you take a dose every day, the creatine stores in your muscles will do their job. You can research this debate for hours and get nowhere – in the end, timing likely won't make too much of a difference. We recommend starting out with taking a daily dose sometime before your workout. As long as you take it every day (even on rest days), you should reap all the rewards. You could of course also experiment with dosage timing to see what works best for you.
Creatine Side Effects
Creatine is considered to be safe by the vast majority of medical professionals. Many people won't experience any negative side effects, but some will. For the most part, reported side effects are mild. The most common include dehydration, bloating, and slight weight gain. All three of these side effects are caused for the most part by creatine's tendency to increase water absorption into muscles. This is actually part of the reason it's so effective as a workout supplement, but it can cause some minor annoyance for some people.
To counter the risk of dehydration, it's important to drink enough water when taking creatine. As for the weight gain/bloating, it's just temporary water weight. For most people, it goes away or diminishes after a few weeks of taking the product, and it will always go away if you stop taking creatine. It's nothing but temporary water weight. Other than that, creatine side effects are rare.

Wrapping Up
As you can see, there are a wide variety of good strength supplements that you can use to help build more muscle and increase your strength. The specific products that will be most beneficial for you depends on your individual situation and needs, but many of these supplements can be very helpful on your path to better health. As mentioned before, most athletes and weightlifters tend to build a "stack" of supplements that they take on a regular basis, so you'll likely find that you can achieve the best results using a combination of products.
Now that you've learned a lot about top supplements for strength, we hope that you feel prepared to make an informed purchase! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to let us know.

To be honest these are something that I have treated myself to if I am at the Melbourne Show, Luna Park or market. Just as I thought they were quite easy to assemble and cook but although nice not the same as buying or eating them in a carnival atmosphere!
Although, like me, the kids liked them these are not a regular item on our menu I have to mention and nor will they be, especially considering we are trying to lose weight.... hahaha
Serves: 8
1 cup milk
2 medium eggs 1/4 cup oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/3 cups polenta or corn meal
2/3 cup plain flour
8 skinless hot dogs
flour for dusting
oil for frying
8 wooden skewers
In a large bowl combine the milk, eggs, oil, sugar and salt. Mix it very well. Sprinkle in the baking powder, corn meal and flour. Stir it all up to make a slightly thick batter.
Dust the hot dogs with flour, coating them completely. Thread the hot dogs on the skewers as straight as possible.
Meanwhile heat oil until very hot (a bread cube should sizzle when added).
Coat hot dogs by swirling them in the bowl of batter until they are coated, hold for 30 seconds or so over the batter allowing for any excess batter to drip off. Carefully place into the hot oil. Turn the corn dogs when the bottom side is well browned. Using tongs carefully remove the cooked corn dogs from the oil and allow them to drain on paper towels. Repeat the process, coating and frying a few at a time, until all of the corn dogs are cooked.
