These pantries are magnificent, I'd love any one of them.
Hope you have a lovely evening,
Liz x
Great ideas! Unlike all the containers.. Baskets are am attractive way to store items. No matter what your space, there are so many options.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the pantry inspiration!
Oops! Typing from my phone! ..I like all the containers! Baskets are a fun and attractive way to store items:)ReplyDelete
Hello you, I'm a wee bit jealous of such great pantries and kitchen spaces.ReplyDelete
Kind regards
There was a pantry at the farm and I remember it well. I love the idea of a pantry and if we ever do get a chance to build ~ it is one thing on my list. Like that last one ~ is the 2nd last picture not from Lissa's house? xoReplyDelete
I DREAM of having a pantry. It would be just lovely.ReplyDelete
Is it just me, though, or do most of the pantries I see pictures of kind of rely on your only having stuff to store that is pretty beautiful? Matching rows of kilner jars, masses of beautiful white crockery, serried ranks of olive oil cans, etc.
What if your stuff is a load of mis-matched melamine plates, and tonnes of half-empty packets... what then?!
We have a fairly large pantry, but it definitely doesn't look as organised as any of these I'm afraid. Although it is my favourite room in the house!ReplyDelete

Ninemen's Morris: Napoleon Lajoie is a French Ninny!
Upstart to Cobb Little More Than A Baltimore Chopper
Team Named After Hubristic Canuck
Passerby: "Lajoie's Kin Helped the Limeys Torch the Library of Congress!"
– – –
LAJOIE! You seek a
moral standard bearer, and you choose LAJOIE!?
Across the gentle
waves of the republic, there are two creeds that rankle the populous more than
any other, two regimes that chafe the ankles of freedom like Monte- Cristo's
manacles. They are, of course, none
other than the French Empire (Marquis de Lafayette excepted!) and the British Commonwealth (royalist buggery!). The French Canadian Lajoie manages to
encompass both!
Lajoie, having
illegally jumped leagues in 1901, and then sold by Connie Mack to the Cleveland
Nine, proceeds to win a newsmans raffle and the club winds up nomened with his
prenom! This crafty Francophile's
arrogance is matched only by the girth of the president of the republic. His league-jumping garnered this
double-crosser unable to cross the Pennsylvania state lines, and veritably forfeiting the
'Naps' games to the A's!
"But hark," you say,
tremulously caterwauling, "is he not a batsman beyond compare? Did he not compile a batters-average that
same year of .427?! And much of that
against the finest orb-slingers of the day, besting even the mighty Three
Finger Mordecai Brown!"
Still your knocking
knees! His average this year? Scarcely kissing .325, and his Cleveland Naps
langour at the bottom of the standings, skulking about the sous-sol like the
ghost of Washington Irving.
I brush your charges
aside as a horsefly from a mule's fetlock. Ty Cobb's Tigers pistol-whipped
Connie Mack's White Elephants in four games at the close of August, and now the
American League is chasing their tail.
The pennant may not yet be stabled, but those boys firmly grip the
September sees those
mighty Michigan maulers sitting prettily atop the table,
with Cobb clubbing .380. And seek you
long the long ball!? Cobb leads the
league, walloping more "all-baggers' than anyone else in the game. He may hit ten of them! What be that French Canadian's count to
date? Nil!
But the Naps have
produced one a great wonderment this year – the first unassisted triple play,
by Neal Ball, on July 19. Never seen
before, Ball's Triumph saw him gather in a liner, step on the second bag, and
apply a tag to the fleet-footed fool from first. This feat of derring-do will most assuredly
never be replicated, even in a hundred years' time.
On a sidenote, I wish to thank you, Mr. Thune, for the olive-branch
gifting of the crate of yellow bananellas.
As you say, they are a delightful taste and texture, evoking an erotic
south seas sustenance. Perhaps in this
move to purchase the Filipinos our ebullient executive has given an
uncharacteristic boon.

And don't forget, Jonestein… the unassisted triple play "will most assuredly never be replicated, even in a hundred years' time"… even though that's poppycock.
What!!! the author of Rip Van Winkle has a ghost….and…. a Cubs twirler with 3 fingers… and.. a traitor to the Phillies…. and.. a Tigers team with fight…I guess you covered all the bases.. home run or was that a triple play…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
OMG.. what a fantastic post! You've outdone yourself on this one Jeff. How about that line "wallowing around the .325 mark"! chuckle.. I loved it.
Peter — Yes, yes, yes, yes and I'd call it a three-bagger.
Buz — Funny, yes. Still, I must give credit where credit's due and that would be to Silas "Red" Quigley. He's the man.
Hahahaha I love this. You guys are awesome. Gotta love the early history of baseball lolol.
Love the Nineman's Morris.
Love it.
never cease to amaze me.
Keep up the good work, and the Nineman's Morris.
cuz Napoleon Lajoie is a french ninny!!
Love the title.
Ted's Take
Elizabeth — Yep. Gotta remember the history to remember how good we got it today.
Ted — That he is!!!
Jenn — Interestingly enough, Al is both a horsefly AND a mule, thus the plug😉
Love this! And now I will spend the rest of the day shouting: "Hark!" Such wonderful writing and such a colorful use of words.
Love it! Thank goodness we have records in baseball (unassisted triple play) that will NEVER be broken!😉 Ah…the innocent and naive!
Jane — Hark! Glad you liked it… Silas is proud; you made him smile.
Julia — I know, right? And the "ten homeruns" in a season being a big deal… wow how times have changed.
Emma — Glad you dig it! We'll make sure Alabaster and Silas keep comin' back!

Can hearing aids help with high-frequency hearing loss?
By Mayo Clinic News Network
In recent years, hearing aid manufacturers have made great strides in developing hearing aids that are more effective for all types of hearing loss -- including high-frequency hearing loss.
The advent of digital technology has resulted in significant hearing aid improvements. Other types of hearing aids now also work well for high-frequency hearing loss.
- Digital hearing aids can be adjusted to match an individual's unique hearing loss. With digital hearing aids, a computer chip converts incoming sounds into digital code and then analyzes and adjusts the signal based on your specific needs as revealed by your hearing test. The signals are then converted back into sound waves and delivered to your ears. The result is sound that's more finely tuned to your hearing loss.
- Open-fit hearing aids -- which leave your ear canal at least partially open -- have become popular for high-frequency hearing loss. Open-fit hearing aids allow low- and mid-frequency sounds into the ear normally, so that only high-frequency sounds are amplified.
To find the best hearing aid for your situation, make an appointment with an audiologist to have your hearing tested and to discuss your specific needs. Together, you can decide which features will be most helpful for your hearing loss.
Because it may take some time to get used to a hearing aid, most manufacturers allow at least a 30-day trial period during which you can try out the hearing aid and return it for a refund if you're not satisfied.
-- Paul Y. Takahashi, M.D.

ACLJ Calls For Release Of American Pastor In Iran
This week for the first time, the U.S. State Department in its: daily press briefing: spoke out about American Pastor Saeed Abedini who has been imprisoned in Iran for his Christian faith. The State Department expressed its "serious concerns" about his fate and acknowledged that the sole reason for his imprisonment in Iran is because of his "religious beliefs."
The: ACLJ: is pleased that the time has come that the State Department has begun to speak out about the abuse of this American citizen. They should have, however called for the immediate release of Mr. Abedini.
Pastor Saeed's imprisonment for his Christian faith is a clear and absolute violation of international human rights laws, and we urge the State Department to employ every available measures to secure the immediate release of Pastor Saeed, an American citizen.
The: State Department's statement: is below:
"We have serious concerns about the fate of two U.S. citizens detained in Iran, Amir Hekmati and Saeed Abedini. Let me start with Mr. Abedini. He was arrested by Iranian officials more than three months ago on charges related to his religious beliefs. We understand that a hearing will be held soon, and we call on Iranian officials to respect Iran's own laws and provide Mr. Abedini access to an attorney."
Over 66,000 Americans have already spoken out on Pastor Saeed's behalf urging action from the U.S. government to free this persecuted pastor. As we saw repeatedly in Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani's case, when thousands of people here in America and around the world take action, governments listen, and that immense international pressure led to Pastor Youcef's eventual release both times Iran has imprisoned him.
Please continue to pray, share his story, and: sign our petition for his release.
Jordan Sekulow is Executive Director of the American Center for Law and Justice.

The have-littles and the have-nots
Hey, did you hear the joke about the world leader who had the answer to the global economic crisis? Well, there you go — now you have.
Remember the old days when leaders of developed nations would hold summits to decide how to solve the plight of the world's poor? Now they ARE the world's poor. They don't seem to know it, though. I mean, Greece is fielding a team at the Euro soccer tournament when it should probably be busy with other things — like panhandling.
How on earth did the First World ever get like this? By adopting the practices of those whose fate they were seeking to change with their perennial generosity, that's how.
In nations that have historically tended towards poverty, collectivism is the norm. Those seeking to break free from collectivist straitjackets and set themselves apart from the crowd typically migrate elsewhere to succeed and make something of themselves. They obtain their education and achieve success in a country where independent thought and individual achievement is rewarded, then come back to their country of origin much later with their achievements setting them apart. Former Peru President Alejandro Toledo and current Mali Prime Minister Cheick Modibo Diarra (who's also the former chief of Microsoft Africa) come to mind as examples. There had to be an incubator for them — a place that nurtured the idea that anyone with the requisite talent, drive and courage could do better than what they might have been born into.
Until now, the world has been divided into wealth-producing nations and wealth-absorbing nations. Not coincidentally, the wealth producers are the more individualist societies. There was a time when world summits consisted of negotiating how much wealth would have to be shifted to the have-not countries in the interest of "fighting" poverty. Then, whatever was subsequently sent was readily absorbed into the abyss like water into a desert plant.
Could the world have ever imagined a time when the flow of funds from the "haves" would dry up? Well, it has. And it's all because the concept of the collective in the formerly wealthy countries has become a more noble value than individual success.
See, there's really no such thing as a rich country in the collective sense. The wealth of any given population is the result of the independent productivity and innovation of the individuals who reside within it. The reward in a society that honors the individual over the collective? Success, due credit and individual wealth.
Over time, this concept has become corrupted. When the populations of First World nations started buying beyond what they had earned and expecting a standard of living beyond what they had produced for themselves, millions of mind-sets shifted from that of self-reliance to that of collective dependence. As the concept of success became socialized, so did the idea of responsibility. If you weren't going to pay your mortgage or your credit card bills, who did you figure would be doing it for you? And how, exactly, is this mentality any different from the mind-set of an entire population dependent on foreign aid for survival?
Africa is dependent on America. America is dependent on the personal viability, wealth-generation and productivity of Americans. But the average Joe in America with an over-mortgaged home is dependent on his neighbor's productivity. The neighbor is dependent on his bank. And the bank is dependent on China. Ergo, Africa is now dependent on China. And what they're doing now is cutting out the middle men: the average Joe, his neighbor, his bank and America.
But just because the First World is in financial trouble doesn't mean it can't still pay everyone's bar tab! Heck, no! Don't even think of taking out your wallet!
It's never hurt to keep pecking at the First World food dish even though everyone can plainly see that it's empty. The noise made by an empty rattling dish is usually reason enough for a refill. The First World may not have the good seed anymore, but they'll throw some kind of grub in there, if only to stop the clanging — at least until the grub runs out for good.
As the agenda for this week's G20 summit in Mexico suggests, rather than find an effective tourniquet, the First World may in fact find a way to slit its veins lengthwise and bleed out a few more initiatives it can't afford under the guise of a "green" agenda. Maybe the mariachi band in Los Cabos can just play us all right out of our misery.

The Pirates turned down acquiring elite prospects Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez from the Nationals for OF Andrew McCutchen, former GM and current SiriusXM host Jim Bowden said Dec. 9.
The Nationals also offered Giolito and Lopez in a deal for Chris Sale, among other prospects, before sending them to the White Sox for OF Adam Eaton.
The Mets have not ruled out exploring a trade for White Sox RH reliever David Robertson, a source recently told Newsday's Marc Carig.
Robertson, 31, will earn $12 million in 2017, $13 million in 2018, and then be a free agent.
He had a 3.47 ERA (3.58 FIP) and 37 saves for the White Sox last season, while striking out 75 batters in 64 innings.
In September, Robertson had arthroscopic surgery to clean up a meniscus issue in his left knee. However, the White Sox have repeatedly said he'll be 100 percent for the start of spring training.

The Mets have yet to talk with their current crop of starting pitchers about the possibility of signing contract extensions, Mets assistant GM John Ricco told SNY's Mets Hot Stove on Thursday.
"It's something that's certainly in mind when we talk about how we're going to keep this team in tact for the long term, and win in the long term," Ricco said, noting that such discussions usually happen in January and February not December. "But, to date we haven't really engaged at all, though like in the past, if it makes sense we'll aggressively approach them."
The Mets again told teams interested in top shortstop prospect Amed Rosario that he is unavailable via trade, GM Sandy Alderson explained to reporters before leaving the Winter Meetings.
For instance, according to Daily News reporter Kristie Ackert, the Royals asked for Rosario when the Mets inquired about Wade Davis, who was eventually traded to the Cubs.
"We've made that clear before and continue to make that clear when his name is mentioned, so I think clubs have gotten the message," Alderson added.
MLB.com, Baseball America, and Baseball Prospectus all consider Rosario to be the Mets' top prospect.

The Mets initially thought the Rangers and Blue Jays were a possible landing spot for Jay Bruce, but - so far - both teams have just limited interest, according to NY Post reporter Mike Puma.
Matthew Cerrone: The market for Bruce will develop after free agents Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Bautista are off the market. The Rangers, Jays, Orioles and Indians are all reportedly interested in Encarnacion and Bautista, but they all can't sign them. Eventually, these two will sign new contracts, leaving two other teams - and the Giants and Dodgers - turning to the trade market to fill their DH and outfield vacancies.

The St. Louis Cardinals and free-agent outfielder Dexter Fowler agreed to a deal Thursday night, according to multiple reports.
The team scheduled a press conference for Friday at 11 a.m. ET. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Fowler, 30, hit .276 with 13 home runs and 46 RBIs in 125 games for the Chicago Cubs last season, helping lead them to their first World Series title in 108 years. He earned $13 million last year.

Curtis Granderson will likely begin next season in center field, Mets manager Terry Collins told reporters earlier this week at the MLB Winter Meetings.
As a result, Collins said Michael Conforto will likely spend most of his time in right field, while occasionally filling in for Granderson in center, where Juan Lagares will also get time.
In late November, general manager Sandy Alderson told WOR 710 AM radio that he wants Conforto to be an every-day player in 2017, including possibly getting time as a back-up first baseman.

SNY's final Winter Meetings Podcast
In their last podcast of the week, hosts Matthew Cerrone and Rob Brender answered several fan voicemails, talking about trading an outfielder, acquiring a new center fielder, why and how to improve the bullpen, and what is likely to happen before Spring Training...
To listen using a pop-out player, click here, or simply use the audio player below...
It was a newsless Winter Meetings for the Mets, as it was for most teams, but it certainly wasn't quiet. In the end, the Mets held a lot of meetings where they talked with agents and team representatives for a variety of relief pitchers open to accepting major- and minor-league deals.
In an effort to free up a roster spot, raise money and have fewer left-handed hitting outfielders, the Mets spent time talking with teams about Jay Bruce, though they reportedly saw more interest in Curtis Granderson and Michael Conforto, which is understandable.
In the end, I expect the Mets will eventually trade Bruce and one of two things will happen, 1) They'll get back a big-league reliever making a decent salary, after which they'll use the difference to sign one or two more low-cost relievers, or 2) They'll trade Bruce for nothing, and use his entire $13 million to sign someone like Brad Ziegler, as well as one or two more low-cost relievers.
Sandy Alderson conducted his final briefing with reporters at the Winter Meetings early Thursday and said he is confident the Mets laid groundwork that will continue through the winter.
"Conversations will continue," he explained.
He reiterated that his desire to trade an outfielder has more to do with playing time than it is motivated by raising money by shedding payroll.
The Mets did not add or lose any players during the Major-League phase of this Thursday's annual Rule 5 Draft, which is the final event each year the Winter Meetings.
MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone and Robert Brender recorded their final Winter Meetings Podcast, during which they answered questions about Andrew McCutchen, Dexter Fowler, Jose Abreu, what's going on with the Nationals, what will happen to Jay Bruce, Sandy Alderson's bullpen, and if Darrelle Revis will play in the AFL...
To listen in a seperare pop-up player, click here, or use the audio player below...
Sandy Alderson talked with reporters late Wednesday and said, while he doesn't know that he'll make any deals before the end of the Winter Meetings, he's made progress in talks with teams and agents that he hopes will benefit the Mets before the end of the offseason.
Alderson also had the following to say about...
The Nationals, who had reportedly shown interest in Pirates OF Andrew McCutchen, will acquire White Sox OF Adam Eaton for prospects Lucas Giolito, Dane Dunning and Reynaldo Lopez, according to multiple reports.
In this case, I really, really hope the Mets use this opportunity to get in on McCutchen.
The Rangers, Dodgers, Mariners and a "mystery team" have all recently asked about McCutchen, according to reports on MLB Trade Rumors. The Nationals had been reportedly pursuing him since last summer.
Dec 7 | 3:20 PM
The Mets met with the Rangers on Wednesday, according to MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan.
Matthew Cerrone: In addition to starting pitching, the Rangers have reportedly been looking to acquire a corner outfielder or Designated Hitter, such as Jay Bruce. At the same, I've heard from MLB insiders that they've been offering up RH reliever Jeremy Jeffress, who the Mets had interest in acquiring last summer before he was dealt from the Brewers to Rangers with Jonathan Lucroy. It's worth also noting that Texas still has Lucroy, who the Mets were trying to trade for last summer, as well, despite saying they were committed to Travis d'Arnaud. I see no evidence that the Rangers are looking to deal Lucroy. But, if they are, I assume the Mets would be intrigued, despite again saying they're commited to d'Arnaud.

In the wake of trading Chris Sale to the Red Sox, multiple reports indicate the White Sox have started shopping several of their high-priced players.
So far, I have yet to read or hear of any rumors connecting the Mets to the White Sox. However, Chicago clearly has players that should be of interest to Sandy Alderson, specifically closer David Robertson and 1B Jose Abreu.
Zack Wheeler spoke about his health and a potential move to the bullpen during an appearance at the Mets' annual coat drive at Citi Field on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old said he threw about three weeks ago and will do so again around Christmas in what he called a "normal offseason," according to Joe Trezza of MLB.com. Wheeler added that he has not felt pain since April and that "this is the best he's felt."
He was also open to the idea of moving to the bullpen to start 2017, something Mets GM Sandy Alderson mentioned prior to the start of the Winter Meetings this past Sunday.

The price on position players -- especially outfielders -- is going down by the minute, according to multiple MLB market markers.
The top-tier, free-agent market includes outfielders Dexter Fowler, Jose Bautista and Ian Desmond, while the trade market reportedly includes Andrew McCutchen (Pirates), Charlie Blackmon (Rockies), Adam Eaton (White Sox), Lorenzo Cain and Jarrod Dyson (Royals), Odubel Herrera (Phillies) and Jay Bruce (Mets), among others.
"If I'm Fowler, I give up making $18-20 million a season and quickly grab one of those four-year, $60 million offers, because it might not be there if he waits," a team executive told me.
In regards to the Mets, this doesn't bode well for wanting to trade Bruce. And, it probably explains why reports now indicate Curtis Granderson and Michael Conforto are off the table. Because, if prices are dropping, it's not worth moving them.
Tags: Jay Bruce, Matthew Cerrone
Mets GM Sandy Alderson should have at least one or two reasonable trades on the table for OF Jay Bruce, according to teams that have talked with the Mets.
However, because he's comfortable with slow-playing the free-agent market for relief pitchers, Alderson appears totally fine holding off on dealing Bruce for an arm, while letting the outfield market play out and revisiting his options during December.
"Things are generally slow," Alderson explained Tuesday, talking to reporters. "Hopefully things start to loosen up a little bit. ...Clubs are still trying to figure out exactly what they think is exactly the best way to go. The contours of the market are still a little bit vague, so you don't see a lot of movement."

The Mets asked the Royals about closer Wade Davis, but were asked to part with elite SS prospect Amed Rosario, who the team considers untouchable, according to Daily News reporter Kristie Ackert.
Instead, the Cubs are close to acquiring Davis for 24-year-old OF Jorge Soler, according to multiple reports on MLB Trade Rumors.
The Mets are not yet willing to pay some of Curtis Granderson's $15 million salary or Jay Bruce's $13 million salary to help trade them during this week's Winter Meetings.
"Not at this point," Alderson said Monday, when specifically asked about the scenario.
Alderson is not usually this vague, though, which makes me think he'll eventually give in. However, right now, it's early enough in the off season that he isn't feeling desperate. Instead, I'm hearing they're more likely to give up a prospect or two in the deal, so the acquiring team is incentivized to absorb Bruce's $13 million.
Remember, the goal here is to a acquire as many relief pitchers as possible before the start of spring training, and I see Alderson eventually getting his men one of the following ways...
Tags: Curtis Granderson, Jay Bruce, Matthew Cerrone
The Mets are not trading both Curtis Granderson and Jay Bruce so they can sign free-agent OF Dexter Fowler, a high-ranking team official told SNY's Steve Gelbs.
This is disappointing, if true. I'm sure it is, but I also know Mets GM Sandy Alderson and his front office tend to make statements based on what's happening at that specific moment, and it does not necessarily recognize where things are headed.
Remember, Alderson and his staff repeatedly told reporters that the Mets wouldn't release Jason Bay, Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez, nor would they be trading Carlos Beltran and RA Dickey, and they eventually did all of the above. I'm not saying the Mets will sign Fowler, or trade both Bruce or Granderson, I'm simply suggesting that we all take what they say with a grain of salt... because things have a way of changing as the environment changes around them...
That said, this is exactly the move I want to see the Mets make.

For the second time this offseason, Mets GM Sandy Alderson said he and his staff are planning to change the workload and routine of their starting pitchers, he told reporters Tuesday at the Winter Meetings.
Last month, Alderson said he is open to occasionally using a six-man rotation and mixing in spot starters so guys can get extended rest between appearances.

Teams have asked about RHP Robert Gsellman, but Sandy Alderson has told them he's not available, sources told ESPN.com's Adam Rubin.
Gsellman, 23, had a 2.42 ERA (2.63 FIP) and 1.27 WHIP, while striking out 42 batters in 44 2/3 innings, during seven starts and one relief appearance for the Mets in 2016.

Dec 6 | 4:00PM
Free-agent LH reliever Jerry Blevins is seeking a three-year deal worth $5-6 million a season, MLB.com's Anthony DiComo reported on Twitter.
"If Blevins is willing to do a two-year deal, maybe Sandy Alderson can reel him back," MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone wrote Nov. 22. "But, if Blevins finds himself eventually weighing three-year offers, I bet Alderson passes and, instead, signs a veteran or two on minor-league deals."
The Mets haven't decided whether OF Tim Tebow will be invited to play in big league games during Spring Training, GM Sandy Alderson said Tuesday.
"That's a decision we'll make some time in the near future," Alderson said, adding that there's "no benefit" to having him in big league camp.
Mets manager Terry Collins said earlier Tuesday that Tebow would play for the Mets during Grapefruit League games this spring, even if he's in minor-league camp
However, late last month, Tebow would not say if he plans to attend Spring Training.

The Nationals will not be adding Chris Sale, who is about to be traded to the Red Sox for Yoan Moncada, Michael Kopech and two other prospects, according to FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal.
Earlier Tuesday, Rosenthal said the Nationals would have included RHP prospects Lucas Giolito and Victor Robles in a deal with Chicago. However, they've been reluctant to put them in a deal for Pirates OF Andrew McCutchen, who they've reportedly been pursuing since last summer.
In honor of Mets media relation executive Shannon Forde, who lost her long, difficult battle with breast cancer last March, MLB announced Monday it will renovate a youth field in Forde's honor in her hometown of Little Ferry, N.J.
"I think a picture says a thousand words," Mets COO Jeff Wilpon said at a press conference at the Winter Meetings. "This is the group that loves and misses Shannon every day."
To raise money for the project, which is part of their annual Play Ball program, MLB is auctioning off a number of unique opportunities, including a pitching lesson from Johnny Cueto, player and manager meet-and-greets, a dinner with Gary Cohen, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez.

Really digging the sound of this, can anyone recommend some similar artists that sound like this album?
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 23.08.2012 at 15:58Vaguely in the same avenue would be Bohren & Der Club Of Gore and The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble.
Written by Timmeh on 23.08.2012 at 16:15
Actually my mistake, I'm yet to listen to The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble (though have heard of them)... Mount Fuji Doomjazz Coorporation is the band I meant. Got them mixed up heh.
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 23.08.2012 at 16:21Ah yeah, Mount Fuji are a bit darker and more experimental and tend to use jazz in more obscure ways.
I'm actually not a great fan of Ulver, KDE or Bohren to be honest, I guess I'm just not a great fan of jazz. I effing love Mount Fuji though, totally my kind of thing.

Nobel Prize For Literature Announced Thursday
By Renee Montagne • Oct 11, 2012
Originally published on October 11, 2012 5:22 am
Mo Yan was one of three writers favored to win. He is perhaps best known in the West as the author of Red Sorghum, which was made into a film. He is only the second Chinese writer to win the Nobel — the other is poet Gao Xingjian, who won in 2000.

For $12,500 a game or $250 per person, companies or fans can rent one of the four poolside cabanas on the first level. The package includes 50 tickets and all-you-can-eat food and drinks. Wine and beer will be served through the third quarter.
On the upper level of the party deck, a similar package of 20 tickets is available for $3,000 per game or $150 per person. However, it does not include pool access.
The team said it has already sold 65 percent of the in-stadium cabanas for this season.
"We're targeting businesses who want to entertain some of their clients or even their own employees," said Chad Johnson, the Jaguars' senior vice president of sales, according to ESPN.com. "What we've built here you can't get anywhere else."
The party deck is part of a $63 million stadium renovation that includes installing the world's largest HD LED video screens, new field-level seats and tables in the club sections.
"We wanted to take areas in our stadium that were underperforming and get creative," Johnson said. "It's no secret that we've had tarps on seats, so we wanted to turn that around and build premium areas."

Police in New York nabbed a suspected burglar who was caught hiding in a clothes dryer.
Authorities in New Rochelle responded to a burglary alarm at the home of Aaron and Gwen Stone on Wednesday, locking down the neighborhood after spotting someone inside, New York TV station WABC reported.
Gabriel Perez-Majia, 19, refused numerous requests to surrender and hid in the clothes dryer as SWAT teams stormed the home, police said.
Trouble is, he left a trail of blood from a cut he suffered while trying to escape through a window, making it easy for police and a police dog named Tank to track him down, The Journal News reported.
Officers found the home ransacked, with cash, an expensive camera and other loot piled near a window.
Neither of the homeowners, nor their two children, were home at the time.
Perez-Majia was employed by the family's landscaper, according to WABC.

The Lifetime TV network says it dropped a reality show about a Texas mortuary after eight decaying bodies were found at the facility and corpse abuse charges were brought against the co-owners.
"Good Grief" was slated to follow Dondre Johnson and his wife and Rachel Hardy-Johnson and the day-to-day life surrounding their business, the Johnson Family Mortuary in Fort Worth. The show was due to air July 23, The Associated Press reports.
Lifetime Networks vice president Les Eisner says the show "has not and will not air on Lifetime," reports the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
The Johnsons were charged last week after the building owner evicted the couple for non-payment of rent and discovered the decomposing bodies inside.
According to KDAF, a recently released arrest affidavit depicts, in chilling detail, the condition in which seven of the corpses were discovered at the mortuary. The document describes two decomposing children; one "was skeletonized" and the other "melted into the container." Another body was found "in a casket and was infested with insect activity and was mummified." In all, eight corpses were found. According to the affidavit, only one appeared to have been properly prepared.

Yeager announced the sentence to Billy Dean "Wedo" Butler shortly after a seven-man, five-woman jury found him guilty of aggravated kidnapping that morning. The jury was out less than an hour before returning with the verdict.
Yeager presided over the trial after District Judge Janna Whatley picked the jury Monday. Whatley asked the jury to return Tuesday morning to begin hearing testimony.
That was when Assistant District Attorney Juan Garcia sprang into action with his boss, District Attorney Martha Warner, by his side.
Some of the most damning testimony to come out during the two-day hearing came when the prosecution presented photo evidence of the injuries that the victim suffered during an incident on Aug. 19, 2011.
Garcia had the investigating officer, Beeville Police Department Detective Sgt. Art Gamez, take the stand to testify to the extent of the injuries.
Garcia told the jury that Butler had deceived his victim into going to the house they had been sharing that night. He then began to assault her, hitting her on almost every part of her body for the next five to seven hours.
"He was smoking crack and drinking Crown Royal," Warner said. In the early minutes of the attack, Butler allegedly stripped the victim of her clothes so she would not try to escape and prevented her from getting to a telephone.
Gamez said the victim had bruises on her face, back, legs, chest, head, feet and serious bruises and swelling to her arms. Gamez called the injuries to the victim's arms and hands (including her fingers) "defensive injuries," sustained as she tried to deflect the blows to her face and body.
"Her eyes were swollen shut," Gamez said. The victim's lips were also seriously swollen.
During the beating, Butler reportedly threatened to have his fellow gang members gang rape the victim before he killed her.
Garcia and Warner said Butler is suspected of being a member of the Mexican Mafia.
Warner said the victim testified that during the incident, one of Butler's friends came to the house. She overheard Butler telling the friend, "That (woman) can really take a beating."
At one point during the attack, Butler made the victim clean her blood off the floor of the house. He also took her to the bathroom and made her stand in front of a mirror so she could see her injuries.
Garcia said testimony revealed that Butler attacked the woman out of jealousy.
Garcia and Warner said this will not be Butler's first experience with a prison sentence. He reportedly served an entire 10-year sentence after being convicted of crimes including aggravated assault and robbery.
Although Butler was out on bail Monday, Whatley had the defendant rearrested when he showed up late for court.
Warner said Butler caused security problems throughout the two days of testimony and the closing arguments. She credited Bailiff Bill Lazenby for maintaining strict courtroom security.
Garcia said his case was jeopardized close to the end of the testimony phase of the trial when the victim was on the witness stand. Defense Attorney Kyle Brian Hoelscher of Corpus Christi produced a statement the victim had signed exonerating Butler. Hoeslcher read part of the statement that claimed that the victim actually was beaten by two women.
Hoelscher wanted only that part of the statement admitted into evidence but Garcia demanded that the entire statement be presented to the jury.
By using the entire statement, Garcia was able to convince jurors that Butler had "sweet talked" the victim into signing the statement. Garcia said the date of the statement also was the date of a previous announcement for the trial.
Garcia said one of his challenges was to educate jurors of the real definition of a kidnapping. He said that by keeping the victim against her will, an aggravated kidnapping had taken place.
To illustrate that the act had been an actual kidnapping under Texas law, Garcia told jurors, "It's like a horned toad. A horned toad had neither horns nor is it a toad," during his closing argument.
"If it hadn't been for the hard work of every one of us here, we wouldn't have won this case," Gamez said after the trial.
"Juan did an great job," Warner said. "He asked for 50 years and a $10,000 fine and that's what he got."
Aggravated kidnapping is a first degree felony and the charge was enhanced to a punishment range of between 15 to 99 years or life in prison.
Warner said Thursday was Garcia's last day as one of her assistants. He was hired two years ago after her office was awarded a $250,000 Violence Against Women Act grant.
Next week Garcia is expected to begin campaigning full time as the Republican candidate for the Bee County attorney's job.

Enraged commuter headbutts moving cars
Fellow Aussie motorist says he thought 'it's the zombie apolocolypse'
Drivers in western Australia were shocked when a fellow motorist suddenly jumped out of his car and started headbutting other vehicles.
The incident happened during rush hour Monday on a freeway in Perth, and was caught on camera by several passing drivers.
"It was at about 7 p.m. I was heading down to Freeway South and all the traffic just stopped," one of the motorists, who gave only his first name, Jordan, told WAToday. "It was like the movie 'World War Z,' where the zombies just run into cars. He was exactly like that and I thought 'Oh sh*t, it's the zombie apocalypse.'"
The scene unfolded after the man crashed his car into an unoccupied Volkswagen sitting in the emergency lane, according to Perth Now.
He then got out of his car and began jumping on and headbutting other vehicles, according to several eye witnesses.
Police were called, and the man was taken to a local hospital for observation.
No word yet if drugs or alcohol were involved. The man does have a history of mental health problems, police told WAToday.

Another piece if GOLD right there !! Thank you, going to add some in to my stash momentarily !
Here is one of my many articles on MK-2866 (Ostarine)... Buy the purest and highest quality SARMS, including MK-2866 exclusively at SARMS1.COM - The best Selective androgen receptor modulators...
Ostarine (MK-2866) is a SARM developed by GTx for the prevention and treatment of muscle wasting. It may eventually be a medical prescription for the prevention of cachexia, atrophy and sarcopenia as well as for Hormone or Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
As a research chemical, Ostarine belongs to a class of chemicals know as SARMS or selective androgen receptor modulators. SARMS create selective anabolic activity at certain androgen receptors. In comparison to testosterone and other anabolic steroids, the advantage of SARMS, is they do not have androgenic activity in non-skeletal muscle tissues. Ostarine is effective in maintaining and increasing lean body mass.
How does it work?
SARMS bind to the androgen receptor and demonstrate osteo (bone) and myo (muscular) anabolic activity.
Androgen receptor activation
Binding and activation of the Androgen receptor alters the expression of genes and increases protein synthesis which builds muscle. In essence, SARMS like ostarine cause muscle growth in the same manner as steroids, however unlike testosterone and other anabolic steroids, SARMS do not produce the growth effect on prostate and other secondary sexual organs.
Ostarine in particular exerts its anabolic effects on muscle tissue almost exclusively. So not only does it represent a new potential treatment option for a wide spectrum of conditions from muscle wasting diseases (from age-related to AIDS or cancer-related), but is also has immense potential for muscle building for bodybuilders, fitness, athletes and an agent to minimize atrophy during recovery periods from serious surgery or similar situations.
*Uses of Ostarine*
Lean muscle gains (bulking)
Ostarine is the most anabolic of any SARMS, making its first and foremost use for wanting to gain lean muscle. The gains in total weight will not be comparable to bulking steroids, however the total gains will almost entirely be lean muscle.
The gains that are made on ostarine are very keepable and users generally see an increase of up to 7 lbs. of lean body mass over and 8 week cycle at 25mg day (diet dependent). The most common dosage is 25 mg for 8 weeks. The side effects that one encounters with steroid use will not be present on cycle.
Generally, with ostarine, the higher the dosage, the more suppression. Although suppression is minimal and is nowhere comparable to suppression that one encounters on steroids, any cycle of ostarine over a 4 weeks period requires a 3 week mini pct. A serm is not required in this pct.
Losing Bodyfat (cutting)
Ostarine would primarily fit into a cutting protocol for the maintenance of muscle mass while reducing calories. One of the most disheartening outcomes of cutting is the loss hard earned muscle mass. The drop in metabolic rate and hormone levels (T3, IGF, Testosterone etc) with the lack of calories is a perfect catabolic environment for loss of muscle tissue. As Ostarine has anabolic effects, the dieter can cut calories without having to worry about muscle or strength loss. Ostarine has also shown noticeable nutrient partitioning effects among users, another reason why it can be of great help when cutting.
A 15-20 mg dosing protocol for 6-8 weeks is good for cutting with Ostarine without undergoing any side effects or high suppression. However it must be stated that due to the lack of androgenicity, muscle hardness and overall results are not as prominent as with the SARM S-4.
Recomping is where ostarine truly shines. The recomping effect of losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time is what the majority of users are looking for. Trying to achieve this when you are not absolutely new to training is extremely difficult.
Where Ostarine shines for recomping is in its nutrient partitioning benefits. Calories are taken from fat stores and calorie intake is fed to the muscle tissue. In fact many users report that Ostarine consumed at maintenance calories produces weight loss, while still getting increases in strength and muscle mass.
One of the most important factors of recomping is time. As you are trying to achieve multiple objectives, it requires a longer time period to notice good recomp effects so even when running steroids, these would have to be longer run injectable compounds as opposed to the short used liver toxic oral steroids.
Although Ostarine is taken orally, it is not methylated and is not toxic to the liver and does not have a negative effect on ones blood pressure. Therefore it can be run for longer than oral steroids.
The dosing protocol of 20-25mg for 6-8 weeks will give excellent recomp effects.
Diet must also be optimized to where calories are just above maintenance with at least 30% coming from lean sources of protein to get the best recomp effect.
Injury Prevention
The effects of ostarine translate to anabolism in bone and skeletal muscle tissue, which means it could be used in the future for a variety of uses, such as osteoporosis and as a concurrent treatment with drugs that reduce bone density. Therefore it has great application as a compound to use for rehabilitation of injuries, in particular bone and tendon related injuries.
Doses of 12.5mg per day is recommend for such purposes and improvement in joint movement that can be seen after just 6-8 days.
Timing of Doses
As Ostarine has a half life of around 24 hours, each of these doses only has to be taken orally once a day, therefore its also offers an extremely convenient supplementation intake.
Ostarine and estrogen concern
SARMS do not aromatize, conferring all their effects to AR binding and not to metabolic conversion to active androgens/estrogens. However blood work from users has shown a slight elevation in serum estradiol levels (which may be one of the factors in its high effectiveness for treating tendon, ligament, and bone injuries or illnesses.
This elevation is extremely small and is no case for concern. If however you are absolutely concerned about slight increases in Estrogen, you can always opt for low doses AI?s, like aromasin or arimidex for added protection and prevention.
Advantages of Ostarine when compared to steroids
It is non methylated so it is non toxic to the liver or blood pressure
Some suppression may be present at doses of 25mg+ run for longer than 4 weeks, however a stringent PCT of prescription SERMs like Nolvadex or Clomid is not necessary.
High oral bioavailability without significant damage to your liver as with oral steroids.
Great sense of well being while on, (without the aggression which can often detrimentally impact users daily lives).
No need for a long time period off between cycles; the recommended time of period for normal steroid cycles would be Time on + PCT, so for a typical 6 week cycle and 4 week PCT, a user would have to wait another 10 weeks after PCT to start another cycle where SARMS recovery requires minimal rest in between.
Ostarine also resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in LDL and HDL cholesterol levels, with the average LDL/HDL ratio for all doses remaining in the low cardiovascular risk category ? hence there is little impact on cholesterol values.
Advantages Of Ostarine when compared to other SARMS
The metabolite M1 which seems to cause toxicity in S4 (temporary occular disturbances) is not present in Ostarine.
Also unlike S4, Ostarine does not have androgenic properties in non muscle tissue.
Ostarine Summary
Anabolic even at doses as low as 3mg
Great for strength
Great for lean mass gains
Great for body recomposition
Great for endurance (aerobic or anaerobic)
Joint healing abilities
Half life of circa 24 hours ? only once a day dosing required

read an article stating if you use a serm like nolva or clomid in your pct with mk2866 you will have no problem with suppression. states you should front load and taper off within your pct

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
I read that if you keep it under 4 weeks (25mgs daily), you should be fine. If you go over 4 weeks it will suppress you. I will look for the article and post it once I find it.
"Your body is your temple, Experiment, Train, and Document, find what works, and stick to it"-OSL
Also if I'm not mistaken ostarine was suppose to help "keep" gains while on pct and a good use a bridge. Maybe I'm mistaken but I believe heavy wrote something along those lines. Don't quote me though, I will try to find it.
Suppression from ostarine does not start to set in until past the 4 week mark... I have ran ostarine in pct FOR YEARS and have never had one issue with recovery... Not in any way shape or form... As long as you are running a proper pct and running THE PROPER dose of ostarine then suppression is NO ISSUE... It is excellent in pct and is becoming widely used and basically a staple by many... I WOULD NEVER recommend anything that would hinder a proper recovery... I am the FIRMEST believer that PCT is the most important part of any cycle... Without a proper recovery, there are no gains, there is no progress and it would only do harm to an individual to not recover... Ostarine enhances pct to the max in terms of keepability of gains and general overall feeling... A lot of guys struggle in pct with not being on and losing strength and size but ostarine prevents these from becoming an issue... It prevents muscle wastage as well as provides healing qualities that are very necessary, especially in pct... It is an excellent addition to any and all pct's and can also be utilized on cycle or as a bridge in between cycles as well... Suppression is minor at best even after exceeding 4 weeks of usage... One thing to remember is to not exceed 25 mg a day... That is the sweet spot and that is also the area that you do not want to exceed...
This is something I have been studying more and more. Sarms seem to have a very bright future in our sport.

Wow, ostarine is so diverse. You can incorporate it anywhere it seems.. I've ran it with my last few pct's and into a bridge with more sarms and bloodwork always came back great. I have to think that a lot of fellas that say ostarine suppressed them possibly went into a cycle already suppressed. Not that it doesn't effect all of us differently...
I didn't read all the replies but her is a nagging question. Can it be used by the ladies and if so at what dose. sounds wonderful for recomp for them. Also what is the max runtime could you be "on' all year like hrt?
I'll get there or Die trying...
I hear the use of the word bridge . What do you guys mean by that
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
will ostarine show up positive on steroid drug test?
a bridge is what you run in between cycles... SARMS are the perfect bridge because they are not steroids, and can be cycled in between steroid cycles to not only maintain gains but add to them and really clean them up... you basically feel like your always "on" even though you are not...
Ok thanks for the info. Why does it need to be run with the other product? What are the expected results from one or both. What potential sides are there for girls. And lastly and this is for men and women what happens if you exceed recomended dosages?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
I'll get there or Die trying...
Sarms are just more effective when stacked with one another because they all complement each other so well... Here is an article I wrote on the most popular stack, the triple stack protocol...
Today I will explain to you all how to properly run a SARMS triple stack. You will often see me recommending this stack to many as the optimal bridge to run in between your cycles. This stack is efficient in many particular instances and circumstances aside from being ran as a bridge, especially when it comes to fat loss, lean muscle gain and novice users. The stack can also be used in the midst of a person cruising or on full out TRT or HRT. The beauty of this stack and SARMS in general is their versatility in how they can be used to accommodate different wants and goals. I am a strong proponent with the use of the triple stack because it allows a user to add quality and clean amounts of lean muscle while still being to able to drop body fat. This will be dictated by a user having a strict diet and training regiment but this stack enhances the probability of such results occurring. The protocol for SARMS is very dose and time specific and needs to be ran accordingly. SARMS, like any other product, need to be ran properly and responsibly and not abused in any fashion. Exceeding certain dosages and lengths can result in negative side effects, diminished results and future problems. If ran properly and accordingly, they can provide excellent results and an overall wonderful feel of well being. There are many users that often report feeling just as good, if not better, on SARMS use as they do when on cycle. This stack will provide users with an increase in strength, lean muscle and endurance. The cycle needs to be run with the proper ancillaries and mini pct to ensure maximum results and full recovery. Often times, I recommend the use of albuterol with this cycle, dependent upon the goal. I will explain how to dose and incorporate this as well. THE TRIPLE STACK SETUP This is the typical layout that I recommend for many triple stack users. 1-8 osta 25 mg day dosed once a day in the a.m. 1-8 s4 50 mg day? split doses? 25 mg in the a.m. and 25 mg in the p.m. 1-8 gw 10-20 mg day? split doses 12 hours apart 1-8 hcgenerate OPTIONAL: 3-8 albuterol 12-18 mg day mini pct 9-12 unleashed/post cycle combo
It also should be known that anyone who has gyno sensitivity or had problems in the past, that the use of an aromatase inhibitor should be utilized. The chances of this issue are not high, but it has been reported as a possible side effect with ostarine use. I would recommend a lighter AI protocol than normal to start than would normally be used. If one is using aromasin or arimidex, I would recommend starting the dosage at every three days as opposed to general every other day use. If you find that you need more, then it would be fine to switch it every other day use and adjust it as needed.
Ostarine (MK-2866): Ostarine can be ran safely and effectively between 8-12 weeks. One SHOULD NOT exceed 25 mg day of ostarine use. Exceeding 25 mg can lead to significant negative effects. This is when the reports of suppression and gyno seem to occur. These are possible problems at a lower dose as well but many of the problems occur when doses are abused. Ostarine is only needed to be taken once a day, in the morning. It has a long half life, thus making split dosages unnecessary. Ostarine will provide a nice increase in strength and lean mass gain. It will also provide healing benefits that will be of high benefit for many users. The dosing is very simple and if followed correctly, side effects should be minimal to none. Ostarine is very clean in terms of gains and provides a multitude of benefits.
S4 (Andarine): S4 is often known as the strongest SARM but comes with the most side effect problems. S4 use should never exceed 8 weeks of use. The most common side effect associated with S4 is the vision issues that it can cause. S4 can bind to the receptors in the eyes, causing a yellow tint to be seen by users. It can cause a user to have a very hard time adjusting from lightness to darkness and can have a very negative effect on night vision. It is impossible to say how bad these effects can be, when they can occur and at what dosage because it is distinctively different from user to user. I have developed a method on how to properly dose S4 for you all which I am including in this article. The dosing protocol is VERY delicate and needs to be taken seriously. The half life of S4 is only 4-6 hours so the doses are split in two each day. Since the half life is so short, many users that develop the visions side effects will run S4 for 5 days and then take 2 days off to help combat the problem. This is a method that helps to complete a cycle of S4 but it is nice to avoid this as much as possible to get the most out of S4. Another side effect that comes with S4 is that it is the most suppressive when it comes to SARMS. The suppression is nowhere near that of a regular anabolic cycle but it is still apparent and needs to be known. S4 will provide an effect that would be comparable to winstrol in the AAS world in terms of muscle hardening and a more aesthetic look. It will provide strength and very lean muscle as well. The gains and effects are very noticeable with S4, especially for users that are already very lean. S4 needs to be taken very seriously and dosed delicately to be ran safely and effectively. Below is my method of how to properly dose S4.
HOW TO PROPERLY DOSE S4 THE DYLAN GEMELLI METHOD Okay everyone? I wanted to write this up to make sure that everyone knows how to properly dose S4? As most of you know, the common side effect associated with S4 is the night vision issue. This results in one of two or both of these issues: A yellow tint associated with vision at night and/or a hard time adjusting to darkness or light? Normally the adjustment period is very quick but can effect some much worse than others. Basically, s4 can bind to the receptor in the eye causing these problems. UNDERSTAND that it is IMPOSSIBLE to know if this will happen to you and at what dosage this may happen? 50 mg is the general starting spot for dosing. Some people get the vision issue immediately even at this moderate dose. Some are able to get up to 100 mg a day with very minimal problems? There is no way to tell what category you fall into until you try? The vision issue is not permanent and the half life on s4 is very short (around 4-6 hours) Some people are forced to go to dosing s4 for 5 days and then taking 2 off because they cannot handle the vision issue? I try to do everything I possibly can to avoid this because I do not want to miss any days of usage? So, it is important to understand how to dose s4 properly. Some people are content at staying at 50 mg for an entire 8 week cycle. Others, want to increase the dosage but there is a very specific protocol to follow to ensure that vision issues are kept to a minimum? I compare this protocol to fighting Mike Tyson on Mike Tyson?s punchout. If anyone has ever played the game they will appreciate this comparison. When you fight Mike Tyson, the first 1:20 seconds of round 1, if you are hit just one time you are knocked down? This is the danger zone? Once you get past that first 1:20 you are much safer but you still must proceed with caution because the fcker is still dangerous? This is the same with S4? You must go 2 weeks at 50 mg? If you get through the 2 weeks with minimal to no vision issues then you past the danger zone? You are safe then to increase your dosage but must proceed with caution? After two weeks you can bump to 60 mg? Now you are testing the waters? You must now stay on 60 mg between 10-14 days? I would say 12 is the safest bet? Then it is okay to increase again to 70 mg if you are able to? I feel like between 70 and 80 mg is the sweet spot however there is benefit up to 100 mg? You should continue to follow protocol of 10-14 days on each 10 mg incremental increase? By following this protocol, you could get up to 100 mg for at least the last week? You should NEVER GO ANY HIGHER THAN 100 mg? As I mentioned, the sweet spot is between 70-80 mg? Every increase needs to be with extreme caution and if the vision issues begin, you know where your boundary is? Some of us are luckier than others in terms of receptor binding? DO NOT BE IN A RUSH to increase dosage? Following this protocol will be the safest and MOST EFFECTIVE way of dosing s4.
GW-501516: Technically, GW is not a SARM but is more ?in the class? of SARMS. It is often utilized in conjunction with SARMS and is more in line with this grouping of chemicals. It is a key component to the triple stack. GW can safely and effectively be ran 8-12 weeks. The optimal dosage of GW is 10-20 mg day. The higher the dose, the more pronounced effects of endurance and fat loss will occur. GW provides users with an extreme increase in endurance and can have a pronounced effect in fat loss. The beauty of GW is that it is not catabolic, so if macros are taken in properly, it can still add muscle, while helping lose fat. GW is extremely effective and is used by many endurance athletes. The effects that it provides are very profound and noticeable very quickly. The half life of GW is longer but I always recommend a split dosage with 12 hours in between each dose. The side effects with GW are highly debatable. There are studies out that show it has led to cancer in rats while other studies so a completely adverse effect. It is very hard to determine the accuracies in these studies. Other than this, there are no seen side effects with it. Of course, you do not want to abuse dosage and length of usage and you should stay in the range that was provided above on amount and length. GW is a favorite amongst many and provides many benefits to users.
SUPPORTS AND MINI PCT: I always recommend that a user take HcGenerate on every SARMS cycle. SARMS can cause suppression, especially with extended usage, thus it is imperative to keep suppression to a minimum. HcGenerate will not only keep suppression low but it will also keep the libido high and test levels higher throughout. It will make the transition into pct and recovery much easier as well. This is the main support that I recommend using with the stack. A 3 week mini PCT is required with SARMS cycles. It is never a bad idea to run it 4 weeks instead but it is not necessary. A SERM is not required in this PCT but it can be used if a user wants. I would not recommend depending a SERM only PCT if one decides to use it. My recommendation is the Unleashed/Post cycle combo for the mini PCT. Another nice recovery option would be Phytoserms ran as a stand alone. Either one of these will work as a mini PCT and lead to a quick and effective recovery. The use of albuterol in this stack is OPTIONAL and is normally recommended to users who want to lose extra fat or want an extra boost in endurance. FINAL THOUGHTS: I hope that this article has explained how to not only properly run a successful SARMS stack but also given you an outlook on the possible results. It is my intention to fully educate you on the positives and negatives of the stack and how to safely and effectively run it. I am always here to help in any way so feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have. Please always be safe and ask questions if you do not understand what you are doing. Work hard, stay motivated and continue to go after your goals!
Ok cool. Just asking because you know us guys are always thinking more is better so if its not then that needs to be clear so sarms dont get a bad name and people dont get hurt or have a bad experience

Forum sessions will be held at 13 city locations across the United States, introducing young scholars to the many challenges and career options in the field of medicine. The forum Guerrero will be attending is in New York City at Hofstra University July 6-14.
Throughout the nine-day program, students are introduced to emerging issues in public health, medical ethics, research and general practice. Site visits to top medical schools and clinical facilities are also part of the experience to develop the next generation of medical professionals. A highlight of the forum enables students to test their knowledge as they triage injured patients in a mass casualty simulation.
Many of the students who attend the conference are nominated by teachers and guidance counselors based on their demonstrated academic excellence, leadership potential and interest in medicine.
"The program provides an important behind-the-scenes perspective on medical careers," said Marguerite C. Regan, Ph.D., dean of academic affairs for National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine. "This is a critical time for high school students to begin exploring their career paths, just prior to immersing themselves in college coursework and creating a pathway to future success."
Guerrero is a junior at A.C. Jones High School. He is a member of the National Honor Society and is enrolled in Pre-AP and dual credit classes. He is a part of the A.C. Jones varsity tennis team and is a member of Our Lady of Victory Catholic Youth Organization.
NYLF Medicine is part of the Envision family of programs (www.envisionexperience.com), which enable students of all ages to explore their interests and gain learning experiences beyond the classroom. Since 1985, Envision programs have served more than 800,000 students in more than 145 countries, with programs designed to help students develop the leadership, scholarship and career skills needed to succeed in today's competitive college and career landscape.

Homers + Halladay = Win
A few of the Phillies bats had a small, yet short-lived, resurrection on Friday night against the Texas Rangers. Both Ben Francisco and Raul Ibanez went deep to score all three of the Phillies runs in the 3-2 win.
Both players have been struggling, especially Francisco. Perhaps the call-up of Domonic Brown lit a fire under the two outfielders. Francisco won the right field spot out of spring training, but he may be on the verge of losing it now with his recent slump, the Brown call-up and better defense from John Mayberry Jr.
While the future of the outfield is up in the air, the starting rotation remains steady. Led by Roy Halladay, the Phillies put together a win while totaling only four hits in the game, two of which were home runs.
Both teams had issues with home plate umpire, Andy Fletcher, who had a moving strike zone that no one could nail down. But Halladay stayed on his game, despite the inconsistencies. He went eight innings, allowing just two runs on six hits and a walk. Halladay also struck out seven.
The closer role for the Phillies has been another question mark this year with both Brad Lidge and Jose Contreras going on the DL. But Ryan Madson, who had trouble with this role in the past, has left little doubt about who the Phillies closer should be.
Madson has been practically unhittable. He has allowed only one run the entire season so far and last night, he earned his eighth save in eight opportunities. So now it is Madson who is lights-out, not Lidge.
Saturday night Cliff Lee will face the reigning AL Champs and his former team, the Rangers. Game time is 7:10pm.

Was looking forward to this InterLeague showdown. Not only because Lee would get to peer into the Rangers dugout and smirk at Rangers Mgr Ron Washington, but to see just how he wouls slice and dice his old teammates.
Sometimes pitchers seem to take it a bit easy against his old mates, but Lee was all business from start to finish.
Only bummer of it all is that Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz were not in the line-up to feel the sting too.
Also great to see D-Brown back in the mix, hopefully for good this time.

It's an ambitious plan, turning a blighted city block in the heart of Kakaako into an amusement park complete with go-cart racing, a rock wall, a skate park, a miniature golf course, a sky dive tower, and a wave machine.
Billy Balding of Alii International Enterprises, LLC envisions the park as a place where both visitors and tourists alike can unwind. He plans on investing as much as $10 million, and hopes to open by May 31.
"This will be our playground that others get to enjoy as well," said Balding. "We just want to revitalize the area, and bring a better economic outlook."
The amusement park would encompass an area of just over three acres bordered by Ahui, Ilalo and Koula streets, as well as Ala Moana Boulevard. The site is unoccupied, but was most recently used to store vehicles for a nearby car dealership.
Balding is currently negotiating terms of a lease with land owner Kamehameha Schools, but success of the project depends largely on approval of a development permit by the Hawaii Community Development Authority. Balding held an informational briefing for HCDA board members Wednesday morning, who may grant a development permit as soon as March 7.
"There hasn't really been any opposition," said Balding. "The best has been the fact that everybody is embracing it. They want a place to go, and to hang out and have fun."
However both the Ala Moana/Kakaako Neighborhood Board and the Kakaako Improvement Association have not taken a position on the proposed amusement park. If there is any concern, it would most likely focus on noise coming from gas-powered go-karts, and any increase in traffic.
Balding said the 1,200 foot go-kart track will produce the same noise levels as vehicles on nearby roads, and a traffic analysis showed volumes during peak morning and evening hours would increase by only 0.3 percent. The park would have at least 70 parking stalls, and would open seven days a week, from 9a.m. till midnight. Alcohol will be served only during special events, not on a daily basis.
"We're all about having fun," said Balding. "A family-oriented, safe fun area that we can all go to, and people for other states can come and realize how much fun we really have in paradise."

Bombing suspect arraigned at hospital
BOSTON – The two brothers suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon appear to have been motivated by a radical brand of Islam but do not seem connected to any Muslim terrorist groups, U.S. officials said Monday after interrogating and charging Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with crimes that could bring the death penalty.
Tsarnaev, 19, was charged in his hospital room, where he was in serious condition with a gunshot wound to the throat and other injuries suffered during his attempted getaway. His older brother, Tamerlan, 26, died Friday after a fierce gunbattle with police.
The Massachusetts college student was charged with using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction. He was accused of joining with his brother in setting off the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs that killed three people and wounded more than 200 a week ago.
The brothers, ethnic Chechens from Russia who had been living in the U.S. for about a decade, practiced Islam.
Two U.S. officials said preliminary evidence from the younger man's interrogation suggests the brothers were motivated by religious extremism but were apparently not involved with Islamic terrorist organizations.
Dzhokhar communicated with his interrogators in writing, precluding the type of back-and-forth exchanges often crucial to establishing key facts, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.
They cautioned that they were still trying to verify what they were told by Tsarnaev and were looking at such things as his telephone and online communications and his associations with others.
In the criminal complaint outlining the allegations, investigators said Tsarnaev and his brother each placed a knapsack containing a bomb in the crowd near the finish line of the 26.2-mile race.
The FBI said surveillance-camera footage showed Dzhokhar manipulating his cellphone and lifting it to his ear just instants before the two blasts.
After the first blast, a block away from Dzhokhar, "virtually every head turns to the east … and stares in that direction in apparent bewilderment and alarm," the complaint says. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, "virtually alone of the individuals in front of the restaurant, appears calm."
He then quickly walked away, leaving a knapsack on the ground; about 10 seconds later, a bomb blew up at the spot where he had been standing, the FBI said.
The FBI did not say whether he was using his cellphone to detonate one or both of the bombs or whether he was talking to someone.
The criminal complaint shed no light on the motive for the attack.
The Obama administration said it had no choice but to prosecute Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the federal court system. Some politicians had suggested he be tried as an enemy combatant in front of a military tribunal, where defendants are denied some of the usual constitutional protections.

Lax management, millions of dollars in delinquent loans and a reluctance to terminate lessees who are chronically behind in payments.
That's the picture painted by an audit released Wednesday of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and the commission charged with overseeing a program that is supposed to help thousands of Native Hawaiians.
The Hawaiian Home Lands Homestead program is set up as a lender of last resort.
But what happens if too many Native Hawaiians are chronically behind in payments?
The state auditor thinks the commission and the department are losing control of the situation.
"They need to rethink how they are doing their work," said Acting State Auditor Jan Yamane.
The audit found fault with the commission noting the rules and responsibilities are not clearly defined.
The lax guidance and oversight undermines DHHL's accountability.
Yamane said, "The department should be giving them better reporting. They should be monitoring more closely the contested cases, any number of things that could help the commission in their decision that they are not getting right now."
The commission responded that while there is room for improvement, it doesn't believe the method the audit uses to compare its reporting is fair.
It also points out its mission includes keeping Hawaiians who hold leases on the land rather than putting them out on the street.
But, Yamane points out that may not be fair to other families who are still on the waiting list.
"If they are too lenient on these loans or repayment of the loans, the impact is not the department but the beneficiaries," said Yamane.
The department has about 10,000 leases statewide. There are 26,000 people on the wait list.
The audit underscored that, in 2011, the department spent more than it had coming in.
The auditor's findings also take on a sense of urgency since DHHL' s ceded land funding, to the tune of $20 million annually, ends in 2015.

Dear Zed: here is a long article about the Highbinders
from Harper's Weekly of 1883 (hope I got that right).
It tells a lot about their activities, but I didn't see
a discussion of how the name "Highbinder" originated.

Then just last week I read a travel guide. It referred to the enforcers of the local Chinese gangs as Highbinders, so-called because they tied their pigtails up out of the way during fights.
Sorry, I don't know how to unwide this.
