Hey Josef could you help with what my macros should be? I'm just seeing a lot of this IIFYM going to go start reading up on it but this is my stats.
5'9", 154 LBS, 15.5% BF(via impedance scale). Had dexa scan at 159lbs that pegged me at 18%, that day scale had me at 16.3%. So guessing actually close to 17%. Activity wise I'm a desk jockey but commute by bike to/from work about 50mins total per day 4 times a week. Do 45mins of Weight Training 3 times a week and try to run between 1h-1h 1/2 total each week.

Been just doing calorie deficit, IF, and doing All-pro routine.

Have you tried LeanGains / Intermittent Fasting?
If so, do you approve it? If you don't approve, may I ask why?
If not, have you read the studies on how it works?
If so, do you approve the study? If you don't approve, may I ask why?أشهد أن لا إله إلاَّ الله و أشهد أن محمد رسول الله

I have an idea of where my macros should be at but I just wanna make sure and get a "second opinion" and get some workout advice. I am looking to gain strength and stamina while losing body fat ...
I'm 6'2, 199lbs, and I honestly never had my BF% measured. I was figuring I should be at 190g Protein, 80g Fat, and 100g Carbs. Does that sound right or what should I change?
I'm in the U.S Military(reserves) and I am firefighter so I need to keep my cardio up(I enjoy running) but I need that explosive strength so I wondering what split would you suggest? Any routines you suggest? I would love to pay for one of yours but my funds aren't high right now.
Thanks in advance!-John

Well everyone has there own goals and personal preference and if you want to cut thats completely up to you even though I would personally recommend you go on a bulk. However if you do want to go ahead with your cut just stay consistent with what you do. Your macros looks fine, presuming you are in a deficit.
Yup I personally agree that he should be bulking, but what he chooses to do is completely up to him.
IIFYM (if it fits your macros) means you can eat ANYTHING you want as long as it fits into your daily calorie requirements and daily macronutrient split of protein, carbohydrates and fats. So basically what I'm saying is if you eat oats and brown rice compared to white bread and sugar donuts for you choice of carbohydratess it will have no difference at all on improving body composition. (as long as calorie intake is equal and macronutrient targets are met) Eating donuts won't automatically make you get fat. Gaining body fat is all about excess calories not the types of foods that you consume.
There is no such thins as "good" and "bad" foods, or "clean" and "dirty' foods" (unless you are talking about health wise). There is no list of foods your not allowed to eat to reach your body composition goals. Don't think you have to give up pizza or McDonald's just because you want to lose some weight. General body composition is about calorie and macronutrient control, hitting your macronutrient targets and calorie requirements however and whenever you want with ANY foods of your personal preference.
500 calories, 40g protein, 40g carbohydrates and 20g fats derived from chicken breast, brown rice and olive oil.
Is equal to:
500 calories, 40g protein, 40g carbohydrates and 20g fats derived from a peperoni pizza!
Now lets say for example your daily macronutrient targets were:
Protein = 250g
Carbohydrates = 310g
Fats = 85g
And you hit these numbers through eating pizza, ice cream, mayonnaise and drinking coke. That's perfectly fine, it doesn't matter and won't make any difference on body composition.
The Glycemic index is irrelevant because of the metabolic equation. It does not matter or make any difference whether you consume high GI food such as dextrose sugars compared to a low GI food such as oatmeal. It will make no difference what so ever on improving body composition.
Many bodybuilders follow the gylcemic index (GI) religously, and they shouldn't! Why so? Well, the GI is based on eating carbohydrates on an empty stomach without the addition of protein, lipids, fiber, water, etc. Therefore, it obviously has it's shortcomings and is not the be all end all choice for chosing our carbohydrate sources. Truth is, it's quite irrelevant when it comes to bodybuilding purposes. Let's take white potatoes for example. This food species is often avoided mainly because of it's high GI rank. Foolish. White potatoes are a very nutritious food and should be incorporated in a sound nutrition program. See, we're already spotting shortcomings challenging the elements and principles of the GI. But wait, there's more. The GI of that white potato can be drastically altered by combining it with the addition of protein, lipds, fiber, and other carbohydrates. In conclusion, the GI should not be followed religiously by bodybuilders and nutrient-density should be the main principle in one's nutrition plan, not the GI.
But won't consuming high GI foods create an insulin spike which will create more overall fat gain?
NO. There is a constant rise and fall ALL DAY. It's not the actual peaks that matter, ITS THE RESULT AT THE END OF THE DAY, eating under maintenance = net lipolysis.
Insulin spikes do not affect weight loss when you are in a deficit. This is what the average person's day looks like in regards to insulin levels:
So with G.I being irrelevant there is no list of foods your not allowed to eat and vice-versa there is no list of food you have to eat in order to reach your body composition goals. Dont think you have to give up pizza, cream donuts and fizzy drink just because you want to lose some weight. General body composition is about macronutrient and calorie control, NOT FOOD CHOICES.
Now I'm not saying that you should go out right now and slam back 2 whole pizzas and a can of coke just because it fits your daily macros. You should still base your diet around good healthy nutritious foods! (like I always do!) however if you want to eat that cream donut or double scoop ice cream because you have been "craving it" and it fits your daily macros, then you can eat that donut or double scoop ice cream and it won't effect your body composition at all. Food choices are irrelevant! - Meeting your daily macros and calorie requirements is what equals results!
IIFYM is not a diet, it's not a lifestyle - Its just a philosophy thats intended to make your life easier.
IIFYM does not mean you can eat however much of whatever you want. It means you can maintain your sanity by eating like a regular human being from time to time. Just use common sense and keep it all in moderation, you should always base your diet mostly around good healthy nutritious foods (which the IIFYM principle still applies to). This will help you get in your micronutrients such as fiber, omega's vitamins and minerals!
As for working out your macros, find out your LBW (lean body weight). Your total bodyweight - your body fat percentage = your LBW.
Then follow these recommendations to work out your macros:
- 1g protein per pound of your LBW (or more)
- 0.4g fat per pound of your LBW (or more)
- Then fill the remaining calories up with carbohydrates. (depending on your calorie requirements)Snapchat: Josef_Rakich

Yes I approve of I.F/LeanGains, I just don't use/follow it myself.
I recommend a 4-5 day split. High volume low-frequency!
Best way to train IMO!Snapchat: Josef_Rakich

Thanks for this tread Josef. You seem to be very well versed in nutrition. Could you please give me a macro breakdown on how I can get aesthetic? I'm 5'6 179 and what people have estimated to be 12% to 14% BF.

I workout sun-thurs (45min-1hr) and do nothing on sat/sun (like to rest). What do you suggest? 15 y/o and 17% BF.
And lastly, do you recommend having 1 day in the week where I eat at my maintenance calories or over to spike the metabolism? With a -500 deficit, I'm eating 1500-1600 a day for the cut.
Awesome thread & advice btw.
Depends on the volume and intensity that you train them at. Twice per week is fine if the volume isn't excessive.
No, but I do recommend that you include a re-feed day once per week when you get a bit lower in BF.
Thanks. I've been on a calorie deficit since Mid-June this year and still been loosing weight (23 lbs as of today and feel stronger than before) do you think I should do a re-feed day pretty soon, will be first? I have yet to plateau in weight loss yet. And that refeed day I must meet protein/fat/carbs macro reqs and a cal surplus of 200 over maintenance right? Or are there more specifics?

Do you want to bulk or cut first?
Just stay consistent with your calorie deficit. Include a re-feed day (this can be a slight surplus) once you have been dieting for some time.Snapchat: Josef_Rakich

First of all, your physique looks amazing i hope i can ever get there,
I have a question please:
I have been trying diets (keto, low carb, carb recycling) being in calorie deficit and working out. Then I realized because of my diets I ended being too tired to work out. I am trying to lose Fat a lot of it. I am pretty strong in my work out and I have done a lot of martial arts but being a graphic designer caused me to gain lots of weight.
Now 2 weeks ago I decided to change everything. I started going to the gym with my focus to build muscle instead of losing weight. (because I know more muscles burn more calories). And I swim like 4 times week; why? it is fun and it feels like a workout since I am so tired after it and I feel it in my muscles.
I am not on a diet at the moment.
Do you think this is a good approach to lose weight? Build muscles first? I weight 250 lbs and I need to lose like 40 lbs of fat to be in a very good shape.
(p.s. currently I work out 3 days a week doing only compound exercises and super sets when possible and the gym is not too crowded)

Not a problem!
Also when working out your macros 0.8g protein per pound of LBW is actually more than enough, but still my own personal recommendation is 1g/lb. I believe it to be optimal, even though study's do say 0.8g is more than enough. (personal opinion thing).
Also if anyone is wanting a perfectly structured personalized Meal Plan, Workout Program or my Extreme Abs Workouts just visit my website below! Also take a look at all my clients transformations/testimonials!

Yeah, I agree. I guess I was just so scared of muscle loss by reducing proteins that I never considered this approach but THANK GOD for your post here because I was SERIOUSLY getting sick of downing 172gs of protein daily. This probably was also why my weight loss stalled. I don't think I needed all that protein. So far I've increased carb intake but from next week I'll reduce carb intake too (I already have reduced protein intake as per your advice) and see how that helps. How do you come up with these values though? Just asking because it's interesting and makes sense though? People out there would have you believe what they think/believe is right but what you say actually makes more sense.
EDIT- Also, Josef, you've frequently spoken about the importance of a slow cut here. How slow are you talking here? I'm asking cuz I'm on my 9th month here- reduced 22 lbs so far. Wanna go further .
First time post made the account to ask this:
I started hardcore bodybuilding about 6 months ago, was already in decent shape. I am 5'8 150 at about 8% body fat. I can see my top 4 abs easily and have decent definition everywhere (obliques, serratus, etc) but I have a rather large squishy pudge spot right around my belly button. The trainer at my gym says it is water weight and that I need to increase the size of my lower abs but my upper abs are rather large. This could be a muscle imbalance but that seems extreme. Do you think it is possible this is just water weight or do I somehow need to lose more fat? I have little to no fat anywhere but here and it looks disproportionate and is damn frustrating. My ancestry is from extremely cold climate (we are very hairy and store fat easily) Anyway if anyone has solved this issue or has some advice PLEASE let me know as I have been stuck at this point for months.
I was dieting hardcore 2,000 calories assload of cardio but the fat loss stopped and was starting to eat my muscle and lose strength dramatically. Now I am lifting 4x a week cardio 3x and eating roughly 3,500 on days 2,000 off days
I have a question about getting six-pack abs.
I'm far from "swole" but have a decent amount of muscle on me (in comparison to regular people -- not bodybuilders, lol). My personal stats are 5'8" and about 150 lbs, I have very vascular arms, and a pretty good six-pack whenever I flex my abs (and otherwise, they are still relatively hard, just not nearly as visible). I usually eat around 1500-2000 calories per day, if I had to guess, of which most are very clean (i.e., oatmeal w/ whey protein, whey protein shake mixed w/ water, club sandwich-type meal, sweet potato, etc.). I almost never drink soda, eat french fries, eat pizza, eat cake or candy, and generally stay away from high-fat, high-sugar, junk food.
I also work out on average 3-5 days per week consistently, making sure to hit every body part and give each of them a reasonable time to rest.
My main problem is: my abs only look solid when I'm flexing them. My stomach is still flat when at rest, and you can tell there's muscle there if you touch it, but the abs become hard to see. How can I make my abs extremely visible and pop out when I'm simply resting and being normal? I already abstain from eating bad foods, eat clean foods, work out regularly, and have a very reasonable calorie intake.
I know I'm missing something here (obviously), and I'd really appreciate your input. Thanks in advance. And yes, I created this forum account primarily to ask you for help.
newbie help
Ok so, my husband is trying to make a change for the better. He is quite overweight, 320 lbs 5ft 10 inches. He is wanting to loose the fat and eventually gain some muscle. We started tracking his calories (without making any food changes) so we could get an idea of where he is at. We discouvered he was only getting around 1200-1300 calories a day. On top of that he actually gained 8 lbs in the last 2 weeks.
We figured before even starting this that his metabolism had probably slowed to a crawl and that he was stuck in the so called "starvation mode". We already know the simple answer to this, is to up his caloric intake to get his body back in balance. However my question is, should he be exercising during this time as well? Or should he focus on upping his calories for a couple weeks then resuming exercise?
My last question is which set of macros should he follow.
myfitnesspal says 2080 calories. fat 69g/ protein 78g/ carbs 286g
low carb diet found online says 2400 calories fat 93/ protein 240 / carbs 150
and a post found on bodybuilding.com suggests 2600 calories 75 fats/ 300 protein / 181 carbs
or something else completely.
Hey josef, do u count trace calories?
For example, 100g oats have 10g protein and 7g fat, do you include these cals in total calorie intake?
And what my cutting macros should look like, im 18yo 178 lbs 5"10 14% bf male, workout 3 times a week and do boxing 2 days a week which comes total 2 hours of boxing per week aside from that i aint active at all, i spend most of my time sedentary at school, studying etc
If your in a situation when u eat for a social event and u don't know what ur taking in whats ur thoughts on best way to handle this for calories and macros?

Which of these routines would you recommend mainly for aesthetics (V-Taper ish)?
Chest/Tri, Back/Bi, Legs/Shoulders , rest, repeat
If I have a wide pelvis, what exercises and body groups should I focus on to put mass up to make it less noticeable?

Hey Josef, I asked you about how to do a proper refeed and you said you'd write me a good explanation of how to do a structured refeed into my diet. I haven't seen you respond to it so I was wondering if you could explain that to me. Is it lowering your fats and protein to fit in 300+ carbs?
Cutting fat
Hey, I was hoping u could help me lose about 10lbs in fat w.o losing strength. I'm about 5'9 and 180lbs. Where do I begin? Will thermogens help? What should I eat? Cardio? Etc... Thanks man
Hello Josef
I am fairly new to weightlifting and need some direction. I've been going to the gym for about half a year now, but have only really got into weights over the past couple months. My goal is to lose fat and gain strength/lean muscle at this point. I am 5"10 and currently weight 177lbs and think my bf% is about 22.5. In May I weighed 192 and don't know what my bf% was.
Last month was pretty good; I got to the gym 16 times (so 4 times a week basically). I would do 2 full body workouts and 2-30 min cardio workouts of moderate intensity (one interval and one steady state). I basically followed the same workout regimen for the full body workouts: 3 sets assisted pull ups, 3 set assisted dips, 3 sets dumpbell chest presses, 3 set squats on smith, 3 sets bicep curls, 3 sets upper rows and 3 sets lateral shoulder raises. Reps between 8-12 for each set. I try to keep rest between sets to around 1 minute and pair them up, to try to keep heart rate and intensity up. After two weeks I would up the weights by 5 to 10% if possible.
My diet seems pretty good / clean but could use improvement. I don't count calories but if I had to guess I'd be around the 2000 to 2200 range. My weight has been stalled at 177 for quite a while, but my overall appearance is starting to look leaner.
I don't want to bore you with too many more details for the first post so do you have any suggestions based on what I have posted. Does slow and steady win the race? or can you really subscribe to one of those 12 week get shredded programs and see results quickly?
Thanks in advance
Yo Josef, what do you think about this diet from this link here: http://www.facebook.com/notes/fitnes...56586674402562
Drink a 30-40 gram meal replacement shake for breakfast.
Drink a 30-40 gram meal replacement shake for lunch.
Eat a salad for dinner with 1-2 chicken breasts and vinegar based dressing (I like rice vinegar).
If you are especially hungry, eat an apple after dinner.
If you are still hungry, eat a cup of cottage cheese before bed."ham boy"

Will answer all your questions later today guys!
Just heading off to the gym to do my own training.Snapchat: Josef_Rakich
If u have been on a cut say 400 deficit. Once u meet your bodyfat goals do u recommend slightly increasing calories back to maintenance? Or just adding the 400 back in?
Then to gain lean muscle should u increase slightly like 100 above maintenance slowly? Or just ju p to say 500 above maintenance?

Upload a pic and I will advise you on whether to bulk or cut..
Don't have to stress over it too much, your muscles won't just fall off, if you are at a 500-800 calorie deficit you will be fine. Anything over 1000 calorie deficit then you will want to reconsider your calorie intake.
Yes any type of exercise will benefit him a lot, it will be good for his metabolism also.
As for the macros aim for 1g protein per pound of LBW, 0.4g fat per pound of LBW then fill the remain gin calories up with carbs.

Yes thermos will help but your diet is the most important factor here. If you want a perfectly structured meal plan to lose fat and get ripped just visit my website: www.JosefRakichFitness.com also check out some of my past clients transformations after following my meal plans and workout programs, etc..
If you want to continue losing fat bro you need to decrease calories even more or increase your cardio.Snapchat: Josef_Rakich

Ten Things You Have to Explain to Non-Houstonians
Houstonians love to brag about their town. But there are misconceptions about every city, whether they regard food, politics or transit.
Here are 10 things Houstonians have to tell misinformed out-of-towners:
Z-Ro is one of many Houston rappers influenced by DJ Screw.
Photo by Marco Torres
10. DJ Screw's influence lives on. Even though he died almost a decade ago, Houston rappers like Bun B and Z-Ro never stop repping DJ Screw.
Photo by J Labrador
9. This city is huge. Houston is sprawling. Of American cities with over 1 million residents, Houston is the largest in terms of square miles.
8. A lot of things come out of the bayou. Dead bodies and alligators included.
7. Our mayor is gay. People might think that Houston is red as all hell, but three-time elected Annise Parker is the second woman to be Houston's mayor, and Houston is the most populous U.S. city to elect an openly gay mayor.
6. Houston has a giant (and we mean massive) medical center. The Texas Medical Center is the largest medical center in the world. (The world!)
5. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo isn't just about animals. Checking out cattle and pigs is fun, but even more fun are the fried foods and concerts.
Photo by Moyan Brenn/td>
4. No, people don't ride horses to school and work. OK, maybe it's only young kids who are asked, "Do you ride a horse everywhere?" But the answer is no. Cops are probably the only people who ride horses in the city.
3. Chick-fil-a is closed on Sundays, but Whataburger sure isn't. Houstonians love both.
2. Most people have cars. Public transit isn't a huge deal here. Even with the METRO Rail, a lot of people have their own vehicles.
1. You'll meet a lot of people who are not originally from here. With the way companies are hiring in Houston, people come from all over to work here, especially when it comes to the oil industry.

Game Theory 101: Game Theory 101: Edutainment Anonymous...
Sometimes when you hit bottom — however briefly — you have to share. Human beings in search of entertainment or distraction (while bobbing around like bloated corpses on the seas of boredom) can partake in some Titanic levels of sinkage. Just think of some of the things you've done in your own life, just because you had an hour to kill, the cable was out or your girlfriend had a headache (and no, I'm not being insensitive to the potential plight of female readers — but I mean, let's face it, no guy outside of a trauma ward ever has that bad a headache). The things we do for momentary gratification, in the name of errant curiosity, especially we computer-intensive types. Think of the one you don't talk about. The one you wouldn't whisper to Old Man Murray over stiff drinks. The one that haunts you. So one day, I loaded this "educational" game onto my hard drive. There, I said it. My name is Chris Hudak, and I… [gulp] have… [shudder]… played games of educational value. I was young and confused! It said "Quake," and the "Fun with Seismology" subtitle had a goddamn NOT FOR RESALE sticker slapped over it! I feel so dirty! Now I have to wait, what, seven years for every last cell in my body to cycle out? Doesn't the Special Office of the Catholic Church have some kind of cleansing rite for this sort of thing, like the one they reserve for Cthulhoid encounters? I'm just telling it like it is. "Edutainment," as a standing rule, blows dead commie donkeys… but it doesn't have to be that way. Some game developers are s-l-o-w-l-y getting hip to this offal-tinged hole in our collective consciousness, and the answers are surfacing organically, the same way a "natural" disaster or a major war or epidemic seems to break out whenever the herd-at-large needs some thinning. Oh, there's resistance. Whenever an actually decent, honest-to-goodness game with some educational merit attempts to rear its fetal head, BLING! some corporate suit with a coat hanger teleports into the room. Remember a certain space-colonization game complete with actual RTS-style gameplay, real Newtonian physics, authentic capcom chatter and online astronomical encyclopedia a few years ago? No, you don't! And what about Maxis' Sim Mars? As soon as I learned just how cozily the developers would have been working with actual NASA data for an authentic colonization experience, I knew that one was...

You don't need to be rooted. You also need A USB OTG Cable. This is the most important part of this setup. Don't worry if you don't know what it is.

After nearly a year, hundreds of Fort Carson soldiers are back in the arms of their loved ones.
For months, the only contact these soldiers had with their families and friends were phone calls and e-mails. For months, loved ones felt the painful absence as they navigated their daily lives with their father, daughter, spouse an ocean away.
That's all over for the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, who returned to Fort Carson early Thursday morning. Loved ones--most likely too excited to notice the hour on the clock--eagerly waited for that moment when their soldier was released to their arms for the first time in ages.
The 2nd BCT, 4th ID deployed to Afghanistan in May and June 2011. During the deployment, the Warhorse Brigade worked closely with the Afghan National Army and Afghan Uniformed Police to increase stability and security throughout Afghanistan.

Cynthia Hudson, a general studies senior at West Texas A&M University, doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about affirmative action, although she's black.
She thinks diversity is important for colleges and society because people can learn from others who are different from them, she said. But she doesn't think race should be a factor in whether or not someone gets into college.
"Race doesn't determine your knowledge," said Hudson, 43. "Your race doesn't tell anybody what you know or what you don't know."
Like Hudson, the Supreme Court this week wrestled with valuing diversity while not wanting to place too much importance on a person's race in college admission. In a 5-4 decision Monday, the court let the nation's colleges and universities select students based in part on race, providing race isn't the overriding factor in an admission.
While circuit courts and public referendums in recent years have scaled back affirmative action's role in higher education in states like Texas, California and Washington, Monday's decision has created some room for state legislatures and colleges to revise admission policies.
West Texas A&M President Russell Long said the greatest implications will be for public universities that limit enrollment severely, such as The University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University.
Affirmative action has implications for those schools because they select students among the qualified applicants, Long said.
WT and Amarillo College won't feel an immediate impact from the decision because both schools accept all qualified students who apply, said Long and Bud Joyner, AC president.
Such open-admission policies have helped Texas make progress in its higher education and work force diversity because 70 percent of college students start out in community colleges, Joyner said.
But WT and AC could be affected later if the decision leads to reimplementation of race as a factor in scholarships and financial aid, Long said.
And by saying race could be used in part but not as an overriding factor in admissions, the Supreme Court's decision drew a fine line that colleges will have to figure out how to walk, Long said.
"A lot of people looked at that language (in the decision) and said, 'This is waffling here,' " Long said.
"How are we supposed to use race as a factor but not a formal factor? I'm afraid I don't have a good answer. I suspect this kind of thing will be worked out in court decisions (through lawsuits)," he said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

If i log in as root the exact same way it works as expected.
I've added the users i want to log in with to a group (sshusers) and added that group to /etc/sshd_config:

I'm not sure what to try next as i don't get a clear error anywhere. I would like to enable specific accounts to log in so that i can disable root.

I'm attracted to hard games; I like the sense of accomplishment that comes from beating a game most couldn't. That's why I beat Ninja Gaiden 2, got the PT achievement in Prototype, and perfected The Orange Box. But getting this G.O.A.T. achievement? It just doesn't sound fun. I'm no fan of achievements that require you to beg and plead, or keep up a weeks-long streak of luck as well as talent. And trueskill is barely comprehensible, let alone an effective yardstick. I generally like Rockstar games, long though they are, but I think I'll give this one a pass.
...Unless someone with high ts would like to give me this achievement.

"[And in the next issue of Ozone magazine, the rapper David Banner expanded the indictment of Bush to include a disregard not just for blacks, but for the poor as well.] I'm glad Kanye said what he said on NBC, ... The president never gave a damn about black folks."

Purchased this item in the thought that the item came in a set of 2, as most floor mats common do, however when it arrived I was disappointed that the package contained only one utility mat. Which is why I marked that it didn't meet my expectations. I did place an order for a second mat because he Utility mat itself is extremely rugged and durable and is not like some of of the other thin mats seen in stores that need replaced within a year.
I knew what I was getting into buying this utility mat. The top is nice and 'grabs' anything I put on it. But the bottom of the mat is silky smooth. There are no rubber grips to stop it from moving around while I drive. I had a 40lb bag of kitty litter on it hoping it would not move around while I was driving...I was wrong. I don't think I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for stability. This mat is more for looks that use.
Nice mat have no none skid on back, two side tape stopped slide.
The picture that is shown is not the item that was shipped to me. I wanted the mats with just the ram head as shown in the picture. I received mats with the head but also ram was on them, I don't have a dodge ram I have a stratus. I also see this has happened to other customers as well. I have returned them to you.
I ordered these small floor mats for a dodge car. As the picture appears it just shows the dodge logo. But when i went to pick them up, they had the dodge logo and the word ram on them. I was not happy with them at all. Not what i ordered or what the picture shows.
The producted was fine but not what I ordered, what I ordered was mat with ram in middle of mat what I recieved was ram and logo. I did NOT want logo, just ram. you really need to update your web pages and information to reflect what you really have on stock and in the store as well.
Wish it was a set of two. But otherwise a good quality product!!!

This set begins with Ichigo and Rukia trying to free Rurichiyo that has been taken hostage by the Kasumiohji clan. When they get there they have to face all Thirteen Court Guard Squads so it wont be an easy task. This Ark basically ends at episode 189. 190 - 193 is a new season and it continues the previous Ark in set 10. The new Captain Amagai Shusuke Ark has it ups and downs. It had some good fights but most of them it was the story of Rurichiyo. I gave this set 4 stars for the last 4 episodes that continue the main storyline

The child of Rev. Run – and also a nasty emcee – speaks with Sway of MTV about his career and what to expect from his music. Off camera, he added
"That's something I really focus on, because a lot of my inspiration in music, they vary, from Lupe [Fiasco] to A Tribe Called Quest," said Diggy, who also included Jay-Z and Nas among his favorites. "I love Mos Def. Real lyrical dudes in the game, that's what I focus on. A lot of the time when you listen to music, you have no focus on what you listen to.
"I'm just letting people hear my music now," Diggy said. "A lot of people are like, 'Diggy raps? Ah, OK.' Before they even hear it, they don't even wanna hear it. They think it's gonna be some bubblegum, kiddie-bop type of hip-hop. That's not even the case."

'Mafia Wives' to take banal rich people shows to a new level
VH1 is apparently desperate to get in on the rich housewives reality show craze. But rather than picking a wealthy social circle in a city to follow, the cable channel has chosen a slightly quirkier angle: to follow women who are married to or are the daughters of mobsters.
But unlike The Sopranos, there will be no money laundering, body dumping, or backroom deals. Variety online is reporting that all of the wives and daughters featured on the show are married to men in prison for "mob-related activities." And rather than throwing hundreds of thousands of dollars on birthday parties, families will be struggling to make ends meet, despite their previously affluent status.
Though the premise may sound fresh among the Real Housewives of... programmed lineup, the reality television world has a short memory. We're pretty sure this premise has already been explored on Growing Up Gotti. However, who knows what magic will be caught on film when camera crews show up in mafia homes this March.

High school football: Who is the greatest team in Utah prep football history?
"Those guys were very competitive," Logan coach Mike Favero said. "Our practices were like games on Friday nights. It's kind of rare to get kids to compete at such a high level on a daily basis. I mean it was a war everyday in practice. That's what made those guys so great."
Offensively, Logan's per game average in 2005 was second only to '10 Bingham (49.1 ppg). Other teams that dropped 40-plus points every Friday night were 2012 Jordan (47.5 ppg), '11 Logan (43.6 ppg), '98 San Juan (42.5 ppg), '07 Timpview (42 ppg), '99 Skyline (41.5 ppg) and '03 Hunter (41 ppg).
Eight teams featured a player honored as Mr. Football and 11 showcased the MVP of the classification. Six had both: '03 Hunter, '99 Skyline, '12 Jordan, '04 Bear River (Jason Zundel earned both) and '08 Timpview. However, only one team uniquely displayed two Mr. Football recipients and a 5A MVP recipient: 2007 Alta (13-1).
That year, Boo Andersen (2007 Mr. Football), Sausan Shakerin (2006 Mr. Football) and Ryan Rosenvall (5A MVP) along with four others were named to the Deseret News first team.
"The coaches, we definitely felt the pressure. There were times the coaching staff had big-time blowups after games. We knew we had the best team in the state, and anything other than a championship was a disappointment. It weighed on us heavily," said Pleasant Grove coach Les Hamilton, who coached Alta from 2005-10. " That 2007 team, in my opinion, is the greatest high school football team I've ever been around — very, very special."
The 2003 Hunter team is possibly the most physically imposing team on the list. The Wolverines, who sent nearly 20 players to the next level, ran the table behind Ray Feinga, Tauni Vakapuna and Matt Asiata.
"They were a pretty rough bunch," Wes Wilcken, who coached Hunter from 1999-2007, said. "I used to refer to them as 'brutality at it's finest.' In my 25 years coaching in Utah, it's one of the better teams I've seen — if not the best. Physicality-wise I don't know if that could be matched. It was one of those things that it didn't matter what got in our way."
It's difficult to peg the greatest team by comparing year-to-year champions from different classifications. There will always be arguments in favor of and against every team. So, let the debate rage on.
Which individual team really is the greatest the state has ever seen?

quote: The fact that you own a Nexus 4 only shows that even YOU don't believe the BS you post about Apples clear superiority
quote: "Your holding it wrong".
quote: So, An issue on one model from one other maker excuses the asinine arrogant comment from the CEO blaming customers?
quote: Yes it is better to not notice the problem prior to shipment, then to blame the customer, then fix it later on?
quote: So when is the fix for the Galaxy 4 due?
quote: The SG4 has internal antenna's which aren't exposed via the outer metal banding like the stupid iphone4
quote: Also, the issue is not about holding the device wrong. It was about acknowledging a possible design flaw.

quote: it achieved one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings of any phone
quote: Clearly it happened to alot of people
quote: Clearly it didn't happen to that extent on iPhone 1-3G and clearly Apple fixed it on the later Verizon iPhone 4 and all iPhone 4S
quote: The asinine thing was the "Your holding it wrong" comment from the CEO.
quote: But when e-books came along, this model was challenged. Amazon started selling best sellers for as low as $9.99 to encourage its Kindle e-reader sales. Publishers were not happy with this because they thought the prices were too low. However, Apple attempted to resolve this when it struck a deal with publishers to implement the agency model in 2010. This helped Apple at the time of its iPad and iBooks launch. But its deal with publishers made it seem like an attempt to thwart Amazon's dominance.
quote: In April of this year, DOJ used an old email from former Apple CEO Steve Jobs as evidence in the e-books case. The email (dated in 2010) from Jobs to James Murdoch of News Corporation said, "Throw in with Apple and see if we can all make a go of this to create a real mainstream e-books market at $12.99 and $14.99."
quote: "I believe that the government will be able to show at trial direct evidence that Apple knowingly participated in and facilitated a conspiracy to raise prices of e-books, and that the circumstantial evidence in this case, including the terms of the agreements, will confirm that," said Cote.
quote: Wow you're lost.
quote: OK sure, we'll let the courts play this out
quote: So if you want to keep your head firmly planted in your a$s for a while and pretend what Apple was doing was legal
quote: even if the big publishers do it at a quarter
quote: E-book production "costs 10% less" than print book production, said Molly Barton, Penguin's global digital director. Hardly the vast savings that many consumers imagine. "But the largest expense is author payment and always has been."
quote: They formed a cartel and participated in price-fixing. That's illegal, period.
quote: The book publishers were accused of partaking in an agency sales model with Apple, and the publishers could not let rivals sell the same book at a lower price.
quote: Sure, we can complain about how overpriced they are, but accusing a company of being "evil" because they seek to maximize there revenue is off-kilter. They're charging a price that the market is apparently willing to bear. And that's about all that can be said about that.s $5 that goes right back into their pockets.
quote: The settlement calls for the three publishers to end their contracts with Apple within one week. The publishers must also terminate contracts with e-book retailers that contain restrictions on the retailer's ability to set the price of an e-book or contain a so-called "most-favored nation" clause, which says that no other retailer is allowed to sell e-books for a lower price.
quote: now it's apple's fault that publishers wants more money per book? Books are still cheaper on amazon.
quote: The book publishers were accused of partaking in an agency sales model with Apple, and the publishers could not let rivals sell the same book at a lower price.
quote: The publishers are as guilty as apple and they're using a BS excuse to sue them.
quote: Apple is the target of the e-books investigation along with book publishers Hachette Livre (Lagardère Publishing France), Harper Collins (News Corp., U.S.A.), Simon & Schuster (CBS Corp., U.S.A.), Penguin (Pearson Group, United Kingdom) and Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holzbrinck (owner of inter alia Macmillan, Germany). However, all the book publishers have already settled with DOJ, so Apple is the only company going to trial.
quote: Snyder [...] also said that average e-book prices fell after Apple entered the market, dropping from $7.97 to $7.34.
quote: Predatory pricing is when you price products below cost to knock out smaller competitors. That is not the case here.
quote: They may well be doing it to prevent smaller competitors, but that is NOT what predatory pricing means anyway
quote: The act of setting prices low in an attempt to eliminate the competition.
quote: They may well be doing it to prevent smaller competitors, but that is NOT what predatory pricing means anyway
quote: You can't claim to know Amazons intentions. They may well be doing it to prevent smaller competitors, but that is NOT what predatory pricing means anyway. It refers to any company who offers goods or services way below cost with the aim of gaining market share and a position of power which would enable them to subsequently increase prices. This may or not be the case with Amazon, but we definitely can't categorically state that it isn't.
quote: A smaller competitor pricing a larger competitor out of business? that's called competition.
quote: If you are pricing any products below cost then you are in trouble

Most Indian Stocks Advance, Led by Bharat Heavy; Wipro Declines
Most Indian stocks rose amid signs strengthening economic growth will drive earnings. Tata Steel Ltd. climbed to a 21-month high after saying sales increased. Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. reached the highest in two years.
Wipro Ltd., a software services exporter, fell for the first time in four days after the rupee touched a 19-month high, trimming the value of sales abroad.
"We are seeing good earnings and economic growth in India, and it's a favored destination for foreign investors," said D.K. Aggarwal, who manages funds for wealthy individuals as chairman of SMC Wealth Management Services Ltd. in New Delhi. Still, "markets have run up too fast, and at these levels it looks expensive." Aggarwal declined to give the value of assets he oversees or say what stocks he's buying and selling.
The Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensitive Index, or Sensex, was little changed at 17,941.37 as two more stocks rose than fell. The gauge's 14-day relative strength index, measuring how rapidly prices rose or fell during the specified period, was above 70 yesterday, when the Sensex reached a two-year high. Some investors see readings above 70 as a signal to sell.
The Sensex has gained more than 9 percent since Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Feb. 26 pledged to trim the fiscal deficit from a 16-year high and boost funds for roads and power projects. The S&P CNX Nifty Index on the National Stock Exchange was little changed at 5,366.00, while the BSE 200 Index gained 0.2 percent to 2,250.87.
Wipro Retreats
Wipro declined 1 percent to 715.2 rupees. The Indian currency touched a 19-month high against the dollar yesterday, paring the value of sales generated overseas. Indian software exporters get 40 percent of their revenue from the U.S. Infosys Technologies Ltd., the country's second-largest software services exporter, fell 1 percent to 2,651.25 rupees.
Tata Steel, the nation's biggest producer, gained 1.3 percent to 687.6 rupees, the highest since July 2, 2008. Local sales rose 18 percent as demand improved in the year through March, the company said today.
Bharat Heavy, the biggest power-equipment maker, climbed 2.3 percent to 2,521.15 rupees, the highest since Jan. 1, 2008. India's economic growth rate is "impressive" and may accelerate to the fastest pace in three years in the next 12 months, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said on April 2.
Overseas investors bought a net 14.8 billion rupees ($333 million) of Indian stocks on March 31 and April 1, taking their total purchases of the equities this year to 221.3 billion rupees market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India said on its Web site. Foreign funds have been net buyers on all trading days since Mukherjee's Feb. 26 budget.
Inflows into India's stock market reached a record 834.2 billion rupees in 2009, beating the high set two years earlier in local currency terms, as the biggest rally in 18 years lured foreign funds. They sold a record 529.9 billion rupees of shares in 2008, triggering a record annual decline.
The following were among the most active on the exchange:
Emami Ltd. (HMN IN), a maker of skincare cream, surged 1.8 percent to a record 694.1 rupees. The company is interested in acquisitions in pharmaceuticals and consumer businesses in India, according to its statement to the Bombay Stock Exchange.
Nu Tek India Ltd. (NTKL IN), a telecommunications-infrastructure services provider, gained 9.9 percent to 38.35 rupees, a more than two-month high. The company plans to raise funds and set up a European unit to explore new business opportunities, it said in a statement to the stock exchange.
Shriram EPC Ltd. (SEPC IN), an engineering company, advanced 6.9 percent to 230.75 rupees, the steepest gain in almost six months. The company said it won an order worth 1.07 billion rupees from Steel Authority of India Ltd.
SpiceJet Ltd. (SJET IN), the discount carrier backed by billionaire Wilbur Ross, jumped the most in two months, adding 7.3 percent to 61.1 rupees. Religare Voyages Ltd. is close to buying a stake in the airline, the Daily News & Analysis reported today, citing a person it didn't identify. Chief Executive Officer Sanjay Aggarwal declined to comment.

I absolutely love these cookies! They're quick and easy to make, and the lavender adds a bit of a spicy sweetness to them that is unique. The only change I've made so far was to double the amount of flowers and grind them down first, because I have the good luck of biting into stem bits.

Idk, there can be a thing called too much avaliable credit and too much recent credit to some lender. But every lender is different.
There are many ppl on here who have 20-30 cards. I think that is way too many. I think 2-3 is plenty.
If you are having trobule managing your cards then yes its best to close the ones you don't use/won't use.
If you like the idea of gaining some more age in your cards before you finaly do close them, then SD is option for you.

Double-Bowl Sink
Sometimes, the divider between two halves of a double-bowl sink does little more than get in the way. But the latest Avado sink from Elkay makes the double-bowl design more useful by adding a 10-inch-wide textured workspace between the two bowls. Use it to stage vegetables, stack plates, or set down a hot saucepan. $1,700; elkayusa.com

We usually love the taste of lemon but in this dish we felt it was too overwhelming on the shrimps. And I omitted the lemon juice since I thought the lemon slices were enough. We loved the rosemary and garlic in this. Thanks Marra :) Made for Newest Zaar tag

Man Killed By Shark Off New Zealand Beach
Authorities think it was a great white shark that was responsible for a fatal attack on a swimmer Wednesday off a beach near Auckland, New Zealand — the first such incident in at least four years.
Adam Strange, a 46-year-old filmmaker, was swimming about 650 feet off Muriwai Beach on Wednesday afternoon when witnesses on shore saw the attack by what authorities estimate was a 12- to 14-foot great white.
New Zealand news website stuff.co.nz quotes fisherman Pio Mose as saying that he saw Strange swimming nearby when "all of a sudden ... we saw the shark fin, and next minute, boom, attack him then blood everywhere on the water."
Mose says he called emergency services while his friend ran to get help.
The swimmer "was still alive, he put his head up, we called him to swim over the rock to where we were," Mose said. "He raised his hand up, and then while he was rising his hand up, we saw another attack pull him in the water."
Police were dispatched to the scene and fired on the shark from an inflatable boat, authorities said.
The shark "rolled over and disappeared," police inspector Shawn Rutene said.
Strange was a filmmaker and The New Zealand Herald, quoting a bio on his website, says one of his short films had been in 10 international film festivals and had won an award for Best Short Film at the Berlin Film Festival.
In the bio, Strange described his love of the outdoors, saying, "When I get a spare five minutes, I like to make a fruit smoothy [and] surf some big waves out on the West Coast ..."
There have been only 14 known fatal shark attacks in New Zealand since records began around 1937, says Clinton Duffy, a shark expert at the country's Department of Conservation.
"In the last 20 years we have been averaging two shark incidents, where the shark actually bites someone, a year."
"Those are generally on swimmers and generally result in fairly superficial flesh wounds," Duffy said.
Duffy said the last death was in 2009, when a kayaker was mauled by a great white, but it's not clear whether he had drowned prior to the attack. Before that, the last death was in 1976.

Hi Everyone,
I am enjoying this plugin to no end. It is helping my supervisor get a lot of things done.
One question: we would like to enforce case sensitivity for responses to cloze questions. I.e., if the user unnecessarily capitalizes a word in the middle of a sentence (or writes it in all caps), we would like for the answer to be counted as incorrect.
Is this possible in the current version? If not, I have been working with PHP for a few years now. Which part of the source code could I modify to make this possible?
Thank you so much for your time.
