Active Autowerke | E46 M3 Generation 7 Level 1 Vs Level 2
Active Autowerke E46 M3 Generation 7 Supercharger Kits
Race on Sunday, to sell on Monday. This old saying is indicative of the new Generation 7 supercharger system for the E46 M3. Through countless hours of testing, it has often been quoted that the true test has always been a race environment. What better venue than Brock Yates One Lap of America Race. With a rigorous 7,000 miles to be covered within a week, and to compete against the likes of Porsches, Corvettes, Nissan GTRs, this would be the testing grounds for the new Generation Active Autowerke Supercharger system. The Active Autowerke Generation 7 Supercharger System not only proved its worth by being the highest ranked BMW within the field, but also ranked 1st in its class.
The data and technology that made this winning combination is now being applied in the new Generation 7 of the Active Autowerke supercharged E46 M3 Level 2. Reliability and power are needed if you want to be on the podium, and this new Generation 7 will deliver exactly that. Consistent, repeatable runs of over 420 WHP (510 engine horsepower) were recorded from our Level 1 kit on the Active Autowerke Mustang chassis dyno in hot 94 + degree Fahrenheit conditions with humidity in the 60% + range.
The stage 2 System boosts the S54's power output to over 600BHP and includes an upgraded fuel system (includes two fuel pumps, fuel filter, all new -6 lines, fuel pressure regulator, dead end fuel rail, upgraded injectors and all required fittings). This ugpraded fuel system is a must once reaching these increased boost levels due to the fact that the factory fuel system is simply inadequate at this level. The stage 2 system also use a larger front mount air to air intercooler and our custom methanol injection system.
Wow very nice Viral!
nice going v
good to see you guys are uping the rhp numbers...and nice to see you are still trying to get more rhp for our e46 m3's cars...
bob :bow::bow:
Hey Viral,
On the old generation 6 Stage II dyno it was 519 rwhp and 370 rwtq - I thought with the generation 7 manifold it would be higher than the previous dyno. This reads 510 rwhp and 360 rwtq.
I was hoping to at least break 550 rwhp and 380 rwtq considering I made 440 rwhp and 316 rwtq with your Gen 6 stage 1.5:
I need a discount for stage 2...PM the price
its Bashar
You need to harass me
Don't worry I will send you a Miami Heat Tag with your Stage 2 Upgrade :evil:
:bow: SO GOOD
Yeah I was looking into buying the gen 7 manifold but after seeing my car makes the same power with the gen6 manifold I guess I'll just be saving my money and going pro efi
I did not get your pm
@Viral@activeautowerke, couple quiestions:
1. Do you provide the Rotrex blower option for this kit? You mentioned you have some customers use it so I was curious if you it could be requested as part of the Stage II kit? Also, any dynos of the Rotrex option?
2. These graphs on pump gas + meth?
3. I am still learning the S54, but will the DME adjust and add timing if you are running race gas? Curious to know what the power numbers might look like on race + meth.
Great looking product, appreciate answers to my questions.
Just pulled the plug and ordered the stage 2 from AA. I will update you guys as soon as I install. Once again thanks to Viral for taking my hard earned money
430 rwhp is getting pretty boring
Hey how come I didn't get a Heat plate frame :(
From 7.3k to 8k the torque curve seems to dip a bit do you know why? Could it be that the compressor is falling out of it's efficiency island or is a cam related issue?
I noticed the gen 6 stg II kit starts that characteristic dip at about 6.7k it seems that the gen 7 tune has managed to keep torque numbers up until later. Is that a result of a vanos tune/tweek or is it related to an upgraded compressor?
Is the gen 6 stg II is running something like 9 or 10 psi? The torque numbers are a bit higher than the gen7 stg I (8 psi).

DMB's Crash at Eighteen: Still Paying Dividends
"The band had a bit of a swagger. I wanted to translate that swagger into a more muscular, meaty record." Those are the words of producer Steve Lillywhite from the band's promotional documentary for 2009's Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King. Lillywhite is of course speaking on the band's landmark sophomore effort, Crash.
DMB's 1994 debut Under the Table and Dreaming served as somewhat of a summary and an introduction all at the same time. They were a band for a few years priorand simply needed to put something down officially in the studio. A valiant effort in its own right, sure, but the standard was set with the ever-elusive stellar sophomore album. Lillywhite wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to beef up the band's sound. They would come out armed with a whole new bag of tricks and lay down a rollercoaster of rock that quite literally begins with a countdown (which in hindsight feels more like a warning). Bold, brash and beautiful all at the same time, DMB combined the aggressive with the tender and somehow made it flow. They broke all the rules and created a timeless album. The bouncy "So Much to Say" gives way to the powerhouse "Two Step" which melts into the delicate and creepily romantic "Crash Into Me," immediately cementing its place on every hormonal teenage boy's mixtape to his girlfriend. Just when the record would get quiet, they'd ramp it up with booming horns, a vocalist coming into his own and a drummer that very possibly has eight arms. If there is a better drum track out there than "Too Much" and "Tripping Billies," please link me.
Really though, the flow on Crash is just bizarre. There are two songs that work well in tandem and the band paired them together for life--"#41" and "Say Goodbye." How brave do you have to be to put a 90-second flute interlude in a rock album? Not to mention the yin and yang of the "Drive In Drive Out," "Let You Down," "Lie in Our Graves" run.
Crash didn't just signal a new attitude within the band, it also changed the fans. Some would argue for the worst. You know the numbers behind the album, so me telling you the crowds increased in size shouldn't surprise you. They got bigger, younger, and naturally drunker. DMB fully infiltrated your local frat house and everyone loved them, a trend that amazingly still holds today.
During their massive world tour in support of Crash, DMB would open for the likes of Bob Dylan and Neil Young. They would headline Madison Square Garden for the first time with a pair of shows. They would win a Grammy in 1997 (back when Grammys meant everything) for "So Much to Say." And they would do it all completely oblivious to what lied ahead--the trials, tribulations and subsequent triumphs that would ultimately define this legacy band. Just a bunch of kids blossoming into rock stars in the most elegant and pure of ways, doing it with an army of Charlottesville, VA faithful behind them. Simpler times, for sure.
Much of the allure of Dave Matthews Band stems from the fact that they came about in an era where they didn't necessarily fit. The cool kids were dressing like Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain (it was called "grunge" back then, kids) and you were essentially dismissed if you didn't rock an electric guitar on top of a stack of speakers. In 1996, all of that wasn't the case anymore. Music entered the "post-grunge" era and things softened up a bit. Alanis' crazy-huge Jagged Little Pill was filling up everyone's stereos, the Foo Fighters were on the scene but their debut was nowhere near as heavy as they would become with The Colour and The Shape. The music world was ripe for an album like Crash to hit and hit hard. A record that packed enough of a punch to appease the grunge kids, jammy enough to keep the HORDE tour crowd dancing and original enough to satisfy the critics had absolutely zero chance of failing. As you may already know--it didn't. Crash has been certified platinum seven times over and remains the band's biggest record to date.
Steve Lillywhite would hang out with DMB for one more record, coming in the form of 1998's Before These Crowded Streets, an effort widely regarded as the band's best. He would also strike gold again in 1996, as it would appear, taking the wheel on Phish's Billy Breathes, one of the finest studio efforts from the jam titans. "Free" would hit No. 11 on the Mainstream Rock Charts that year, making it the band's most successful charting single. Oh, the album was also certified gold in 1999. We'll talk more about that beauty in October though when it too celebrates its 18th birthday.

Whats-u doing up at this hour?
63 years old and still recovering from a severe heart attack followed within a month by three strokes. I couldn't see, walk,talk, sit up without falling over and when I regained my sight in around two months everyone realized I had total memory loss, didn't know who my wife, two adult daughters, five Grandchildren or the rest of my relatives, best friends, Doctor of 21 years or anyone was.
When I became aware of my surroundings I started reading volumes of books i.e. world and American history, American wars, my bible, I continually watched Fox news and Fox business news. I had received Hotrod magazine since I was around 12 yrs. old plus other car magazines that had stacked up because I had shown no interest in cars but one day I picked up Hotrod and read it cover to cover in one sitting then all the other magazines. MY oldest Daughter and her husband rolled me up to a nice looking building up behind our house on a circular drive and inside was four beautiful cars, I wasn't sure what they were and they tried to explain them to me.
Moving ahead thousands of questions and a year later, I got out of the wheelchair a year ago last Christmas and used a walker until last July. In the mean time I had learned to drive in the parking lot of the local highschool. I had also developed my own form of physical thearpy that involved twisting and turning, bending, lifting light dumbells and lots of leg strengthening exercizes. I now use a custom walking stick which I lean on heavily because of a balance problem caused by my Parkinson's desease. I landspeed raced on the Maxton Mile last Sept. in my SS Silverado truck and I went back in Oct. to the last ever Maxton Mile in N.C. and set a landspeed record for one mile in my class. We leave on the 26th of this month after adding 62 hp to my truck to run the first ever Ohio Mile at the Wilmington mile. I hope if the weather and wind is good to come back with one and as many as three landspeed records. The only thing I dread is the pain from such a long trip caused by my rheumatoid arthritis, but I can't complain because I am a walking miracle.

A quick follow up to Tuesday's post about the Japanese tsunami debris that's drifting across the North Pacific. Two SoCal nonprofits that campaign against plastic pollution, the 5 Gyres Institute and the Algalita Marine Research Foundation, will let you join a study expedition to the debris field next year on board Pangaea Exploration's Sea Dragon. It's a working trip for them and you, but you have to pony up $13,500 to take part — more if you want to be on the second leg of the voyage.

The family that received 'a miracle on Christmas'
In all of our lives we can look back and find that one certain day that we will never forget. For my family, that day was Dec 21, 2011.
Like most families that year, we were anxiously anticipating Christmas Day. We had no idea how that one night would change our lives forever.
I had sent my kids to Nana and Papaw's so I could finish up the last minute shopping. At a little past 9 p.m., I called to check on everyone and say goodnight but my mom's voice on the other end was quivering as she said "Your dad is missing."
I remember the shock and then fear that gripped me as I listened to her explain that he had not come home from church that evening.
Knowing that he was diabetic and could be in danger, I told her to call 911, and I would head that way. The thoughts and what ifs tore through my mind as I prayed out loud to my Lord. The one-hour drive to her house was cut short by another call.
They had found him and now he was en route to Mission hospital. I knew that meant it was bad.
My prayers grew louder. We all arrived to find a chaplain waiting there telling us it did not look good. Our first glimpse of him was almost more than we could bear. He had suffered severe trauma to his head and most of his upper body. His car had crashed into a restaurant and plunged into ice cold water. His injuries were life threatening. It would take nothing short of a miracle to save him but we believed in miracles.
And so our journey began. For the next few days we hung on every hope and yet his prognosis remained poor. Feeding tubes, breathing machines and dialysis became a vital part of his world. For days he remained unrecognizable and we could only see him four times a day.
Our lives for the next few months stood still in the waiting room of the trauma ICU. Then, little by little, we watched as our miracle took shape. A blink became an open eye, a moving finger became a holding hand and slowly but surely he was coming back.
The months of tiny victories were the most incredible times of our lives. Though nurses and even doctors gave us no hope, we believed in something much bigger.
We knew that the same God that created our dad was now holding him in his weakest hour. We knew that if God's plan was not complete for our dad that we would see our miracle. So here we are, two years later, and today it all seems so surreal.
The details of our journey would fill a book and the amount of love and prayer we received was overwhelming but one thing remains, my sister, Lori, and I still have our Daddy. He can breath and eat on his own, laugh with his grandkids, and kiss my mom.
And while his life still has its challenges, he is here and every time we hug him, we are reminded of the Christmas that God gave our family a miracle.

I was found when I was about 1 week old. Mom brought me home with her, her mom said I couldn't stay.She said she'd only keep me til I was big enough to go to another home. well her daddy passed away and my mom became very depressed, as time passed I realized I was staying. Granny after some convincing said I could stay, so I did. I had a great life with my mom, I was faithful just like a dog. I would wait by the door at 5:00 for her to come home from work, than we would spend the rest of the night together just mom and I.I grew up, mom met my dad and they got married, so we moved, Everything was great. I lived happy for 16 years, than one day I developed kidney diease. Oh mom was beside herself, the doctors put me on med's, flushed my system, but I just got worse, to the point I couldn't walk anylonger. Mom slept on the floor with me that night, it was my last time I saw her , she let me go that night to the rainbow bridge, she didn't let me suffer any longer and I know it was very hard on her, becaused she loved me dearly and I was her first real kitty she had. I loved her to til the day i passed, and still do .

UNC paints argyle pattern into end zone
Things just got a little preppier down at Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels painted an argyle pattern onto their end zone heading into this weekend's meeting with Middle Tennessee State.
The only thing missing might be some Vineyard Vines whales swimming around in the other end zone. Make it happen, UNC!

I have owned one of these for 3 months and it has been a nightmare. It constantly loses the wireless signal and login. I have to re-set up the wireless and codes 4-5 times a day although my multiple laptops happily work over my home wireless network without fault. Please do not buy one of these.
This has to be the worse printer I have ever owned, why did I not stick with HP. The worse thing is it uses ink without printing anything, it is constantly cleaning and takes so long to do so, where does the ink go? I have only managed to print 3 colour items before it informed that one of the inks had run out. Awful machine DO NOT BUY IT.

On Friday, in a bipartisan vote, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 3630, the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. Congressman Steve Womack voted in favor of the bill and released the following statement:
"It was a vote a lot of our conference struggled with--myself included. The reforms to unemployment insurance and the temporary fix to Medicare payments to doctors were a big plus, while the additional pressure to the nation's deficit is something we still struggle to solve. However, in the end, it's just hard to vote against people keeping more of their money."

One of my friends once asked me if the reason I was so laid-back was because I had grown up by the water and could see its steady, calming presence. And I have thought about that question even though the answer was and still is no (the answer is genetics. hi, dad! I can count on one hand the number of times I've heard you raise your voice).
But something of that question stays with me. The essence of it. That maybe I did somehow drink it all in, the wide pounding sea, the daily flowing tide. And that maybe it was the water that drew me back–back first to North Carolina, then later back to this particular corner of the state, the thin, undulating line on the map. On one side of the line water. The other, land.
that I have been here for a while, my feet planted firmly where I oneday swore I would never live, I've been thinking she was on to something.
But it wasn't the water.
It was the sky.
The way it suddenly opens up above you in a clearing.
Or the way the road disappears at the crest of a hill and the only thing in front of you is sky, to your sides, sky, above you, sky.
And it wasn't just the sky.
It was the clouds.
How they are sometimes an abstract painting.
Sometimes an explosion of color.
Sometimes a river flowing slowly.
Sometimes shattered by sun.
And it is not that the sky makes me calm, or the clouds.
It is that when I see them, the unexpected stretching beauty, the blue-open expanse, something inside me opens to the world.
It takes a deep breath,
and exhales.
And in that moment nothing else exists.
There is nothing else but clouds, and sun, and sky.
Not even me.
Not even eyes, not even breath, not even heart.
Just sky. Just clouds. Just a golden, shifting light.

overheating with deteriorating sound quality, has developed a fault - most likely a component or latent assembly fault.
That fault will be fixable and the condition effectively eliminated, whether it has thermal instability, damaged output devices,
oscillation or any typical fault. The 640 may not be one of D. Self's designs but we can assume it was sufficiently competent
to invest large sums in global commercial distribution. I see no reason to scrap what was said to be a satisfying, somewhat
expensive product, only because it no longer works properly.
The essence of DIY is, of course, to provide that fix for yourself even though depending on others for the methodology.

That's good that the speakers are OK
Well I must admit this doesn't fit the normal fault patterns seen. My instincts at the moment say this is still a problem with those compound output devices. If one of the internal resistors went OC you could get weird effects.
I can see there is doubt over the bias pot. Whether faulty or not, with C47 shorted the amp should work but lets try and prove that. If you short C15 on the good channel, is the sound still OK (there will be some distortion at low levels but it should not be terrible)
The constant current sink of the driver stage should be checked as well. Measure and compare readings between channels of the voltage across R55, R56 and D9.
D9 should have around 3.3 volts across it and R55 around 2.6 volts. R56 I would guess would have around 0.4 of a volt (but compare with the other channel)
Not sure if this has been mentioned before but also check that R52 and R69 (the 0.33 ohms) have not gone high in value. Check with the amp OFF of course. Also check that with the amp ON, that the correct DC voltages (approx. plus and minus 42 ish volts) are present on the left hand sides of R96 and R98. First rule... always check the supplies are correct

Thought i would also quickly upload a recording of the audio changing from right channel to the left channel. Same files just of different sites if anyone has a preference.

The increased temperature could have been caused by a faulty pot, that then, over time, caused something else to fail because of the excessive heat. This could be a pot, a capacitor or even a dry solder joint etc that gets worse from larger expansion/contraction forces experienced from the increased temperature.
I too am skeptical towards the bias pot causing the distortion, as shorted out, it isn't part of the circuit any more, but we shall see. If it is a bad solder joint, replacing the pot might fix it, if only because everything got moved around a bit physically. You can always try tapping components with a plastic pen, when music is playing, and see if that makes any difference.
What the hell are you screamin' for? Every five minutes there's a bomb or somethin'! I'm leavin! bzzzz! Now with website! www.5een.co.uk under construction.

I think your theory regarding the overheating causing a secondary problem is quite plausible and i understand that bypassing the pot should get it working providing this is the sole problem - as it 100% fixes the heat problem, i can safely assume that the bypass is working and therefore i require a new pot. But yes, you are completely right in that there must be a secondary issue somewhere.
Is there any other tools that i could buy to help test this further or is just a matter now of comparing left vs right channel voltages until i stumble upon something that doesn't quite look right?
Here are some further figures;
R55 : 2.69v
R56 : 0.42v
D9 : 3.25v
R96 : 2.74v
R98 : 2.3v
R52 : 0v
R69 : 0v
Mooly - i am impressed, the figures are as near as identical to what you mentioned - i assume these are relatively universal figures?
The other channel show the exact voltages (give or take a few mv).
Please could i ask you to clarify the following;
"Also check that with the amp ON, that the correct DC voltages (approx. plus and minus 42 ish volts) are present on the left hand sides of R96 and R98"
I wasn't quite sure what was meant by measuring the left hand side of R96 and R98 so i measured across each one individually but as the above results show, neither are anywhere near 42v so i have come to the conclusion i must have done this bit wrong .
Thank you

The distortion recording is strange in that it cycles between good and bad... very odd.
The DC voltages are fine (which makes this all the more unusual). The voltages are pretty easy to calculate given that the amp is made up of "basic building blocks".
Voltages on R96 and 98 will be correct, those readings sound like the voltage across them. I really meant the voltage measured from ground to those resistors. There will be full supply on one end (R/H) and slightly reduced supply on the other end of each.
So where does that leave us ? Ideally a scope should be used to just confirm that there is nothing really weird going on but without we have to guess a little bit.
I still think the output devices could be suspect and should be replaced, possibly along with Q32 and Q25.
Did R52 and R69 read OK on the ohms range on your meter ? (with the amp OFF)

Well this will teach me to work with electronics when I am tired - I think I just well and truly killed it (I hope not but feel for the worst). Whilst trying to measure R96 to Ground i *think* I have bridged R96 and LK10 which resulted in a pop and the circuit protection kicking in. I disconnected power, powered back on and it instant loops into protection mode and now getting a huge amount of heat to the smaller heatsink to the left near C58 and C57. Unplugged immediately after I noticed (5/6 seconds) but made some very strange noises through the speakers during this.
So, clearly I have made things a lot worst and now in a position where I can test very little which i feel really bad for as everyone has spent a lot of time with me which i now feel i have wasted.
What is the likelihood this can be 'easily' solved and get me back to the previous state?
There are no obvious components blown on the board but i assume i have blown a resistor somewhere close to either R96 or LK10.

Oh heck
This doesn't sound promising. LK10 looks like it goes to the PIC (the microprocessor or uP) so applying -45 volts to a PIC input is probably going to zap it.
To prove it all would involve making the output stages "safe" such that nothing gets hot and then seeing if all the input and logic works OK. Possibly also forcing the "protect" data lines to some known logic level to fool the uP that all is OK.
The power amps can be fixed easily no matter what you have done... its the other damage to the processing circuitry that will be the problem. The uP would have to come from Cambridge as it is programmed specifically for this model.
All that is assuming the worst of course...

Thirteen Australian scientists have received international awards for defence technology research.
Minister for Defence Science and Personnel,
The TCP is a multilateral defence effort that draws on researchers from Australia, the US, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand, to collaborate on defence technology projects.
Mr Snowdon said TCP was the country's "most important multilateral agreement in defence science". He said Australia's Defence Science and Technology Organisation contributes to more than 60 technology areas.
"While these awards are also made to defence scientists in other countries, it is important we honour the varied scientific excellence that originates in Australia, contributing to capable defence forces in member nations," Mr Snowdon said.

For a Taste of The Good Life
Get Wood
No wood says "I've arrived" like cedar does, man.
I mean, sure, your mahoganies and your cherries are nice. But those woods are for, like, the Louis XVI fauteuils that've been in your family for generations. They're old-money woods. They're not how you say you finally made it; they're how you say your great-great grandfather made it, and you've been reaping the benefits since.
No, for the bourgeois striver looking for a shoe tree to maintain the shape of his sensible wingtips; for the young couple wondering what to fill their yellow lab's bed with; for the family who just traded up to a larger home and needs to remodel the closets with something moth-resistant; for anyone who's ever gotten it into his head to spread mulch around some marigolds—cedar is where it's at.
Plus, you know that the cedar groves of Lebanon are where the gods live, according to the Epic of Gilgamesh? Totally true.
(Totally true, that is, that it says so in Gilgamesh. Not that any gods actually live there.)
Anyway, so now guess what else about cedar? You can freaking COOK on the stuff. I KNOW, RIGHT? This is what you've always dreamed of. This is cedar living.
Imagine the almost paralyzingly intense envy your neighbors will experience when they see you grilling chicken or veggies or whatever it is you grill on a six-ounce plank of 100 percent natural untreated Western Red Cedar. It will blow their minds. Their skulls will probably rupture.
"Come on over and enjoy some wild-caught salmon!" you'll say. "It's plank-grilled for moistness and infused with a delicious, smokey cedar flavor! Plus it's seasoned with an all-natural blend of Mediterranean spices! Because these things are important to me as a Woot shopper!"
But all they'll hear is "I'M GRILLING ON CEDAR. I AM SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU."
They'll decline the invitation, claiming they've already got casserole in the oven. Ha! CASSEROLE. How perfectly provincial! Their loss.
Oh, and then your clean-up is super-easy too, since the plank keeps all the grease and crud off your actual grilltop. So you'll be laughing over old-fashioneds and a game of Scattergories on the patio while they're still washing dishes next door.
They might be at it all night. Nothing's harder to clean than baked-on casserole crust. You have to soak that.
- Cook fish, veggies, meats or fruit on a cedar plank right on your grill
- 100 percent natural untreated Western Red Cedar wood
- Smokey cedar flavor from the plank is infused into the food when cooking
- Plank grilled foods are moist and flavorful
- Keeps your grill top clean, cooks directly on the cedar plank
- Dimensions: (L) 12" x (W) 7" x (H) .375"
- Weight- 1 plank: 6 oz
- Soak Plank: Submerge in water for 30 minutes to 3 hours
- Grill: Arrange seasoned food on plank and place directly onto medium-low grill. No need to turn most foods. Cook to your preference
- Planks will get hot
- Keep a spray bottle of water nearby in case of flare-up. Don't be alarmed, just spritz flame and continue grilling
- Always keep an eye on the BBQ

For over 20 years, LABRADA has performed 3rd party independent lab testing on all of its sports supplements, to guarantee that you get what you pay for with your hard earned money:
Real Ingredients, Real Potency, Real Results. Thats why all LABRADA products are backed by founder Lee Labradas personal quality guarantee:
"If it's on the label, it's in the bottle!"®
For months, the researchers and developers at Labrada Nutrition have been hard at work, in partnership with fitness icon Jamie Eason, developing an exclusive line of natural supplements made specifically for women. From the moment word got out about this new signature line-up, our website and social media pages have been buzzing non-stop. Loyal Labrada and Jamie Eason fans alike have been waiting anxiously to learn what happens when two great names in fitness finally team up!
In early discussions of this new product line, one thing was certain: a delicious, wholesome, and high-quality protein powder would be first on the development list. After all, every fitness-minded woman needs a protein supplement that not only works, but tastes great!
At last, that product is here. Labrada Nutrition is proud to introduce you to Jamie Eason's new Lean Body® for Her Natural Whey Protein Isolate.
Most fitness enthusiasts will agree that a high quality protein powder is a staple in their diet. Jamie has supplemented her diet with protein powder for years and this has contributed greatly to her ability to stay in great shape year round. Although staying in great shape takes consistency and commitment to exercise, it also takes proper nutrition to serve as fuel to reach your goals.
While it's certainly important to consume lean protein from sources like eggs, chicken breast, turkey or tofu, none of these are as fast absorbing as a whey protein isolate. What does this fast absorption mean? It means that after a rigorous workout when your muscles are starved for sustenance to help them repair and grow, they'll get the nourishment they need more quickly than from other slowly digested proteins. So, Jamie Eason's whey protein isolate is a great way to ensure that you have the protein you'll need for muscle recovery – fast – to help maximize the results of your workouts.
Lean Body® for Her Natural Whey Protein Isolate contains the finest and purest ingredients, so you can be sure you're getting the very best grade of complex whey protein possible to nourish your body. Not only is whey protein great post workout, it's also great to use throughout the day to stabilize blood sugar and suppress food cravings. Whey protein helps you to stay fuller longer, so it satisfies your appetite.
See below in the "What's In It Section" is a full list of ingredients that make up the delicious, all-natural Lean Body® for Her Whey Protein Isolate formula. While some protein supplements contain just 30% to 40% of whey protein and high amounts of lactose, fat and lower-grade proteins, we've ensured that there is no gluten, lactose or filler ingredients in our formula. Lean Body for Her Natural Whey Protein is a clean source of fuel for the body with excellent bioavailability (rate of absorption) and is devoid of saturated fats and empty carbohydrates, so your body only gets what it needs.
Labrada supplements were developed to help you reach your goals of achieving a healthy and fit body for life. With that in mind, things like convenience and portability are important, and that's why we designed Lean Body® for Her Natural Whey Protein Isolate in an easy, re-sealable bag. It won't take up a ton of cupboard space like some protein jugs do, and it's easy to get to (and travel with) when you need it on the spot. You've also got three easy mixing options – in a glass, in a shaker bottle, or in a blender. So, wherever you are, wherever you are, Lean Body® for Her Whey Protein Isolate will fit your lifestyle.
While both the Jamie Eason Isolate and the 100% Whey Concentrate are excellent, Made from Natural Ingredients options for protein, they do differ slightly.

Whey Protein Isolate
Best protein powder you can find,i love love the taste!!!
I never write reviews.. like ever!! This protein powder is hands down the most delicious protein I've ever tried!!!! I HATE protein shakes. But after I tried this one, I fell in love. It's the only one I can drink. I wake up every morning excited to drink this protein! I got vanilla and I use lactose free almond milk to mix it. It's AMAZING to say the least. Very filling, too!
I'm a big advocate of all natural supplements which is why I was excited to try Labrada, I will be purchasing again! It taste great and mixes well! I got the vanilla and I've been mixing it with almond milk and it gives it a very nice flavor and texture. Great protein for a great value!
Every single day I look forward to drinking this shake, I have the chocolate which I have never liked with any other brand. It is hands down the best ever protein out there.
Great taste & "gentle" on my GI system. Blends well with veggies/fruits for a breakfast smoothie, which is really convenient when I'm rushed getting breakfast together.
The protein powder is delicious and filling without an after taste.
This protein is awesome. I appreciate that there aren't any artificial sweeteners. I have tried several other brands and this is truly the best. It mixes very well. I have purchased this several times. It is the only protein I will use. Thanks for a great product.
I recently purchased Lean Body for Her Protein Isolate in vanilla. It came highly recommended by my friend Meg Wallace. I'm so glad I bought it. Most protein shakes I don't like because of the nasty after taste. This protein blends so well even with just water and tastes so good. I will definitely recommend this to friends and will keep buying it!
This is the best vanilla protein powder I have tried to date. I have been threw many brands and this is my favorite. It is not grainy or too sweet. Mixes great in a shaker.
The Lean Body for Her Whey Protein Isolate Chocolate flavor (by Jamie Eason) is so incredibly delicious and nutritious! I have consumed it in a few ways: as a shake, as pudding, as hot chocolate :) and as a protein pancake (my fave). It's sooooo good. Unlike other protein powders, it doesn't get clumpy and heats and cooks well...I look forward to making my protein pancakes every morning for breakfast! I wish they made a 5lb tub!!
I am so happy I read the reviews before purchasing and ordered this product. It is really really good. I got the vanilla and I will absolutely be ordering it again. I've had protein powders in the past and this tastes nothing like it. It is a very good product.
I love this protein powder. I have tried so many and have rarely bought the same one twice, mostly because of gas and stomach issues resulting from their use. I have become a repeat delivery subscriber because I have been so happy with this. It tastes great, mixes well, has no aftertaste and doesn't make me gassy. That's a slam dunk, in my opinion!
Great protein drink! Love the flavor and it isn't high in calories. I bought the chocolate and love it.
I always order Jamie's protien powders. I keep The chocolate and vanilla on hand as my go to powders. They have great flavor and mix well.
I have tried many protein powders and this is by far the best tasting (chocolate) I have ever tried. Won't switch again.
Hard to believe something that tastes this great is also great for you! I love it!
Best flavor protein I've tried so far! As a full time breastfeeding mom of a newborn who has quite a bit of weight to lose and do it all naturally, im elated and grateful for this powder. The extra protein is very important while breastfeeding and I definitely feel weak and lethargic when I don't get enough. So this protein is definitely a life saver. Plus If it didn't have the great flavor I would struggle to take it regularly. I have tried other proteins and couldn't handle the chalky or artificial taste most of them have. The cravings I get from breastfeeding are pretty intense also, and when I drink the powder it definitely takes care of those cravings to a large degree. I'm so glad it was marketed at breastfeeding safe on facebook or I probably would not have thought of taking it while breastfeeding.
I've tried several Whey Protein Powders and can attest that Lean Body for Her is the best tasting protein out there. I am also lactose intolerant and other whey protein products caused digestive problems. Not this one. I appreciate that it is lactose and gluten free and made with all natural ingredients. Love both the chocolate and vanilla, especially mixed with almond milk after a workout. I will continue to be a repeat customer. Thanks Jamie.
I am really pleased with Lean Body for Her. This is the first protein shake that I have found with great, clean ingredients that also tastes super good. I have the chocolate flavor (can't wait to try the vanilla) and I was especially pleased at how easy it mixes with just a spoon if you don't feel like using your blender, and that it still tastes great and is still thick when using just water (and it tastes great with milk, too). I only wish there were more servings in one package for the price, but I think it's worth it anyway. This find is definitely motivating me to stay with my workout routine and I feel confident in my continued progress going forward. Thank you for this product!
Ive been using the vanilla protein for 2 weeks officially. I haven't binged eaten since. I'm sure, with the combination of diet and weight lifting, it is giving my body what it needs and I dont have to search for foods after a great workout. I am happy with the success I am having right now. Over eating after a workout was a huge problem for me. With this as part of my meals, its working.
I have tried several types of powders but by far this is the BEST on the market. Ingredients are true to form, and the taste is great.. I have found what I am looking for !!!!
Good stuff. I received my first taste as a sample in a box of other items I purchased and it is very tasty. Satisfies that chocolate craving every time.
This protein powder dissolves well and tastes good.
I have been searching for a great tasting, easy mixing without lumps, and most importantly, no artificial sweeteners!! I am so glad I finally found the perfect protein for ME👍🏻 I love the chocolate!!! The vanilla is a very strong vanilla and a bit sweet.
This is the best protein I've ever had,love the vanilla flavor,it's not a very thick one,and not too sweet,and no its does work...I recommend it for sure...
This protein shake does not make me feel gassy even if you drink it right after shaking it. I also love the taste and the part where it makes me full. I drink this as a meal/snack replacement and post workout drink.
I started working out religiously a year ago. What motivated me was a workout plan I found on Jamie Eason's Instagram page. It completely changed my life. I was drinking Cellucor whey protein shakes after each workout but soon started looking into the ingredients of everything I was consuming. I found that half the ingredients were things I couldn't pronounce or had no idea what they were. I knew Jamie had a line of products out that she endorsed through Labrada and I knew from preparing many of my meals from her recipes found on her web page, that she is very much into natural foods that consist of nothing artificial or processed. I ordered the Lean body for her whey protein in vanilla and couldn't believe how good it was. Honestly the best tasting shake I've ever had. I never would have considered buying the chocolate since I'm not much of a chocolate shake person, but Labrada included a sample of the chocolate whey protein isolate in my order, so I tried it. I'm hooked! I add a half of banana to it and I swear it's better than eating a bowl of ice cream. It's absolutely delicious. I know use the vanilla protein for baking and the chocolate for my after workout drink. I will never switch again to anything else. This is by far the best there is out there.
Both the chocolate and vanilla whey isolate protein powders are excellent. I've tried many brands and this one is by far the best I've had. I love the clean taste, not too sweet but doesnt taste like saw dust either. Very easy to drink and I love that the ingredient list is short!!!
At the beginning of my fitness journey (1999) the first Protein I had was Labrada! I would get the packets and have a shake every day! Over the years I tried other items but not like Labrada. Then it got to the point that I noticed trouble digesting protein powders. But with Labrada's Whey Protein Isolate I can comfortably take/digest and ENJOY my shake!
This is the first time for me trying protein powder. It is also my first time trying Lean body for her Isolate Whey protein and I have to say it is very good. My stomach is and has always been sensitive and so far this powder settles with no issues. I trust the product because I believe Jamie and her team are trying to sell the most natural product as well as the most beneficial to our health. I have yet to try Vanilla but this chocolate one is delicious! I do think it is a bit pricey for the amount we get but they usually have discounts :-). I give it !!! :-)
This is the best I've ever had! I have my energy back!
I love the taste. It's not gritty. It gives me my chocolate fix. Blend a scoop of the chocolate with cooled coffee and some crushed ice. Yum! Spread it on a chocolate rice cake and top with a few sliced strawberries. Who says eating healthy is boring.
I just started taking protein the middle of last year. I tried a different one every month and all had a nasty taste and some upset my stomach. I started following Jamie Eason found out about her product one day I bought it and stayed hooked always sticking with this protein.
I am so pleased with my protein powder. I use it to bake and you can't even tell its protein powder in it. Thank you
After using a protein that had been recently discontinued,I tried Lean Body for Her. I am so very happily and pleasantly satisfied! The natural chocolate tastes like hot chocolate, I love it! This blends very easily and quickly.
I can not tell you how pleased I am about this product. I keep the chocolate and the vanilla in stock in my house. I bake with these powders as well mix them with water/almond milk and they are delicious. The powder is not chalky and it has wonderful flavor. My shakes are consistently smooth and don't have clumps in them. I love this protein and will not buy another!
By far the best protein powder I've ever had! Safe for breastfeeding mamas too! I am planning on reordering along with the other available flavors.
This whey tastes great and mixes very easy in my smoothie. I mix in some fruit and spinich and I have a shake that keeps me full until it is time for my morning snack. I will be ordering this product again.
I really appreciate the fact that it doesn't have artificial sweeteners! It's the best tasting protein supplement I've ever used. I combine the vanilla or chocolate with almond milk to make a protein milk for breakfast cereal. Makes a great pre or post workout protein boost.
This is the first protein shake I have purchased. After doing research, decided on this one. Taste was important to me, along with natural ingredients. After using this, I purchased another vanilla and chocolate. Hope the chocolate tastes as good as the vanilla.
This is the BEST tasting protein powder I have ever had! And it has great, clean ingredients! I could not be happier with this purchase. I have tried every "clean" powder I can find, and I will look no more! Seriously, the best.
I love this clean source of protein! I add organic baby spinach, organic oat bran, organic flax meal, cold water and ice, cinnamon, and tumeric, and drink it before and after my workout. Yummy!
Only clean protein drink I have found that doesn't have fake sugar, Carrageenan and that has 25 grams of protein. Love the Vanilla, taste like a vanilla milkshake.
love that it mixes instantly with water and it tastes just like chocolate milk, no aftertaste at all like with other protein powders.
I try to eat clean the majority of the time and have yet to find a chocolate protein powder that actually tasted good...until this one. I have found a few natural vanillas that were ok, but the chocolate ones have always had that fake chemical taste. I figured I'd give this one a try since it was on sale..and I have to say, I'm glad I did. This one is different/better than anything I've ever tried. So smooth, rich and velvety...and it actually tastes like legit chocolate. I will definitely be buying more! (I don't typically review products either, so the fact that I'm even writing this is saying a lot about this product)
Love this protein powder, taste great. Great to cook with!
I love this protein powder! Im a breastfeeding mom and i love that this product is so natural and free of added junk. I blend with almondmilk and ice and its so yummy! I cant wait to get home and drink one after ive been at the gym!
If you are looking for a ridiculously delicious and heathy high-quality protein then look no further! I have tried several different proteins over the years and none of them come close to either of these perfectly satisfying flavors❤ I am in love with both chocolate and vanilla and especially enjoy them combined. I highly recommend you try it. My male friends are always stealing my protein so get a little extra for your bf or hubby 😏 and if you're a guy, don't hesitate to try it out! I am positive you will be hooked!
This is the best tasting protein powder I have used. Very versatile as well. Will continue to reorder!
I love that this protein has no artificial flavoring or stevia and is lactose free. Chocolate and vanilla are so good. They mix well into smoothies and recipes.
The quality of food and drink that I consume is important to me, and this protein mix is ideal for me. It digests easily and doesn't upset my stomach, it tastes awesome (I've had the vanilla and the chocolate, both are great), and it's perfect right after a hard workout. Highly recommended!
I consider myself to be sensitive when it comes to whey and Jamie easons protein is easy on my stomach. I love knowing it has no artificial ingredients.. Not to mention is amazing mixed with water, almond milk, or for baking! I've tried a bunch of different brands/kinds and this is the only one I'll purchase. I love her whole line of products. You can feel good about what your fueling your body with. Thank you for making such a great supplement line!
Great taste and quick energizer to have after a good hard workout!
So, I just tried Jamie Eason's Chocolate Whey Proten Isolate and it is A-Mazing! I have tried numerous brands and this is by far the best tasting one. It isn't chalky like a lot of powders and has an actual chocolate taste that will make you want more! Thanks, Jamie and Labrada, for putting a great product together.
I ordered chocolate flavor and it is, by far, the best tasting protein powder (and I've tried many!). It almost tastes like I'm drinking chocolate cake batter (though it's not thick and it mixes very well). My only complaint is that there are only 17 servings in a bag, and the bag is fairly expensive, so this powder is my go-to for sweet cravings versus my everyday protein drink. But flavor-wise, AWESOME!
Jamie's whey protein isolate is truly a treat I cannot wait to have after my workouts and right before bed! The chocolate is my favorite, and I actually find myself craving it! Bonus: It doesn't include any artificial ingredients like many other protein powders. LOVE IT!!
I've tried a number of other whey proteins. This one is one of the best ones I've tried. It's delicious and nutritious.
I have tried lots of protein powder, and this is my favorite I love it :)
I have just recently had my 3rd child and he is now almost 4 months old. I have been searching for a protein drink that is healthy for me and my baby since I am breast feeding. This has been a great product so far and my little one hasn't been fussy once! I lol definitely continue to use this product and I can't wait to see more results as the months go on!
I have been using the chocolate isolate for two months now and have seen a dramatic difference! I drink it right after my workout and my body is looking amazing!It has become a regular part of my nutrition, along with her multi-vitamin.
Tasty and natural with 25 grams of protein. Excellent!
I like both choc. and vanilla in Jamie's whey protein isolate. Most of the time , I buy vanilla because it is so versatile. I make up my own recipes to change it up every now and then. It is so good, mixes well and I love the fact it is all natural. I blend one scoop vanilla, water , ice, half a carrot with some cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. I call it carrot cake. Enjoy!
Taste great. Does it's job. For sure will order again
I started following Jamie Eason about 2 years ago. I was very excited when she came out with a signature series, because I already knew her philosophy on overall health and wellness. This product did not disappoint, I have continued to see more definition and muscle growth. Both the chocolate and the vanilla taste great (the peanut butter flavor, not so much), and I love that the ingredients are simple and all natural. The product delivery isn't as fast as others, but the prices are better here than anywhere else and the website is organized and easy.
I have never found a protein powder that I completely loved the taste of until trying this protein powder. Now I never want to take anything else. I have tried both the chocolate & vanilla, they are both so creamy & delicious but I've never been a huge chocolate fan so the vanilla is definitely my favorite! I just mix them with water. It doesn't have a nasty aftertaste like many protein powders I have tried, it is so creamy & full of flavor that it makes you want to savor every last sip. And I love how clean they are, now I don't have to worry about the huge list of ingredients, that I don't understand, that leaves me questioning what I'm putting into my body.
Awesome taste & great value!
I love it awesome products !
I JUST got my order of chocolate protein so I've only had a few shakes thus far. I am not reviewing the effects of the protein, merely the qualities of the shake. It is SO GOOD. Hands down the best tasting and consistency shake I've ever used. I'm a Beachbody coach and I WISH Shakeology tasted this good, I'd be hooked. This shake is a perfectly creamy consistency and I mixed with just water! I love that I can have the shake at the nutritional values listed on the package without adding more calories with a mixing liquid. It is honestly so tasty, I can't believe the sugar content is so low. Gone are the days of choking down a protein shake just for the nutrition. I enjoy drinking this shake and I'm so hooked. I got a sample of vanilla and it literally tasted like white chocolate. Creamy, no lumps, sweet but not fake, I LOVED it. I'm ordering a bag of the vanilla today so I can mix up flavors. I'm totally hooked on this already and the fact that it's natural on top of it? Doesn't get better. Thanks so much for this great product, I'm excited to use it daily!
I have been working out for years and wanted to keep active during my pregnancy . In doing so, I needed a protein that was high quality but most importantly that was safe for my child. Lucky , I came across this product and I really love it. It taste great and it's not full of artificial substances . I've been reading about Jaime Eason for years and she seems like someone who is trustworthy.
I am doing a 90 day fitness challenge and have completed my first month. I used to eat lots of sweets... especially chocolate chip cookies (my weakness). Of course I had to part ways with them and my Chocolate shakes really save my life. They are so creamy and delicious.... its almost as if your cheating but your not. I have had other chocolate shapes in the past and never ever did any of them taste this good. I did the research and made sure it was all good ingredients which for me is the bonus. I cant lie i bought it because of that and because it tastes sooooo Good and Chocolaty!
This protein is simply amazing in all ways! The fact that it's not full of artificial garbage and is so high protein for one scoop makes this product worth while. I have tried the chocolate, vanilla, and peanut protein and they all blew me away. I really hope new flavors are in future are something Labrada considers, as many people would surely go crazy over it. I love the smooth, natural flavor it has when added to smoothies, yogurt, and baking. 5 star protein!
I finally decided to try Jamie Eason's whey protein isolate and I don't know why I waited so long. I like the chocolate more than the vanilla. I love that these proteins don't have a chemically taste. I use them as post workout shakes with water, and smoothies.
I have tried numerous whey proteins and typically I would only find one I only liked mediocrely because I would be compromising my "clean eating" with some of the ingredients, for the taste. Lean Body FOr Her is the best in my opinion in taste and without having to compromise my clean eating lifestyle. It's hard to find a whey protein with everything, but this is the closest. During my prep for competition, Jamie Easons Lean Body For Her has made my protein drink after workouts my favorite part of my prep daily! Chocolate is simply DELICIOUS! Well worth the price to skip out on all the yucky ingredients the other whey proteins contain.
I completed loved this Whey Protein Isolate, it taste very good! I have on my shake also on all of the Protein Bar that make by Jamie Eason recipes, I love Her and Labrada is total success!
I've tried the chocolate and now the vanilla flavors and both are fantastic. Very good just with water as a post workout shake, and very good in oatmeal, for baking etc! I've found the protein I'm sticking to!
Finally a protein powder that doesn't taste awful it taste like choc milk! Even just in a glass . And knowing it's really healthy without any bad stuff is really great! I was wondering of it really would taste good like everyone was saying and it does!
The product is what it claims to be. Its not clumpy and hard to mix. It dissolves well, light in texture yet, filling.... I use it as a meal supplement for dinner; post workout.I am very happy with the product and would recommend it to any female trying to lose weight and maintaining a balanced diet.
Glad i found this protein powder before trying lots of other. Super tasty! i even had tried it hot and made popsicles out of it.
I love this protein powder. It tastes good and I like that it is not loaded with a lot of stuff you can't pronounce!
I've looked around for a protein powder that not only satisfies but gets the job done and this is definitely it! I love this protein so much that I look forward to having my hale everyday. It keeps me satisfied and tastes so yummy!
I was introduced to this protein by my sister. At first I just wasn't convinced that it could possibly taste that good. I was wrong!!! Delish! I love putting Pb2 with the vanilla protein! My only complaint, I just wished I could purchase a bigger size and that it didn't come in a bag. Thanks Labrada!
I've tried vanilla and chocolate, they both taste great! I like that it's all natural. It doesn't mix very well with just a spoon, but that's expected. A blender bottle is a must.
I have a very sensitive stomach and therefore avoid a ll sweetness to include stevia. Have tried 19 different protein powders (that's an exact number) some with probiotics, stevia, other sweetness, all claiming natural etc. Yet all left me bloated. Eventually I began using a plain flavorless protein and have been stuck there since. I decided to give this a try and WOW! No bloating, no cramping and it tastes FABULOUS!!!! Thank you!
Was extremely skeptical of using any protein powders, until I tried the Labarada series of Jamie Eason whey protein isolate. This protein is easy to mix and shake up...no clumps! The chocolate flavor is smooth and tasteful. I use it almost everyday and it s especially good with a banana for a quick refuel after a workout before getting home to fix a meal.
I am a huge fan and follower of Jamie Eason. I have been following her recipes for years. So when she came out with her own Gluten and Lactose Free Whey Powder I had to buy it! It is great for shakes and to cook with. Highly recommend her products. Plus i have to say there was a little error on my first order i ordered the Vanilla and the Chocolate arrived. I called and customer service sent out the Vanilla right away and told me to keep the Chocolate. Great Customer service goes a long way i will always order from them knowing mistakes happen and when they rarely do they will be fixed promptly with a smile :)
I like the taste of Jamie's new protein powder. I admire Jamie and knowing that she and the Labrada company endorse and sell this product assure me that it is of high quality.
This protein powder is great! I was using Shakeology but the taste was horrible! This is the best tasting powder I have ever tried! Nice work! I'll definitely order this again! Both chocolate and vanilla are great!
I tried the Vanilla prior and now the Chocolate. Both taste great and what sold me is that there are no artificial flavors and sugars in it. It works well and tastes great. I will definitely continue to purchase this and highly recommend it!
I have an allergy to preservatives and eat very clean. I have tried other "clean" protein powders and this is the best hands down. I use it daily after my workout and actually look foward to drinking it! I also make protein bars and other foods with it. It mixes well, tastes great and I love knowing exactly what's in it.
Seriously love the ingredients and the taste of this shake. I was using Shakeology, but it was so expensive and it was a bit over powering to my taste. I had a hard time finding a powder without artificial sweetener. So when I found Lean Body, I was so excited to try it. It exceeded all of my expectations. I just mix with water and love the taste! Sometimes I will throw some frozen berries in, but it doesn't need any help being a tasty and healthy treat! I am completely sold!
First, I just ordered the chocolate, then I got so into using the powder in many different recipes, I had to order the vanilla, too. I love both, and make some great treats with them (not just shakes)!! I wish they came in bigger bags so I don't have to order them all the time!
I have been using Lean Body products for years. I was so excited to see a new product specifically for her that is an all natural product. It tastes better than any protein out there right now and it is the best part of my day when I get to have Lean Body for Her protein shake.
I love Jamie's chocolate whey protein powder! I have tried multiple chocolate protein powder brands over the years and they all where varying degrees of gross. But this one has great flavor! I love either mixing it up in my protein shaker for a smooth protein shake or blending it in my Vitamix with ice and almond milk for a fluffy and creamy shake. :)
I love Jamie's Chocolate whey protein isolate. I have to hide it from my hubby because he drinks it too!! Thank you for creating a clean, healthy, YUMMY protein powder!!
I bought both chocolate and vanilla. I prefer the chocolate. Vanilla taste good too but chocolate taste better with water. Will be buying two more chocolate flavored bags because I go through them quickly.
Love this product!
Very yummy - mixes well, tastes great, no weird after taste or feel in mouth. I have both but have only tried chocolate - I am sure Vanilla will be awesome - definitely get it! Great with unsweetened almond milk....
I do not ever leave reviews, but i will say Delicious! I purchased the chocolate. Best tasting protein I've ever tried. Blends very well shaken. Does not turn milkshake thick using 1% milk. A bit pricey, but well worth the money if taste is an important factor when purchasing protein.
I love Jamie Eason's Lean Body for Her! We have both the chocolate and vanilla. They are both so good that I would have a hard time choosing which one I like better. I have tried so many different powders and this is by far the best. I have a sensitive stomach and strong sense of smell, so many of the products out there do not work for me. This product smells and tastes wonderful. It also is settles on my stomach without any issues. My daughter is a competitive swimmer and has started using this product. She loves it too. I highly recommend this product.

Chicago – Make plans to attend the IMTS 2014 Conferences to learn about Machining Intelligently.
DATE: Tuesday, September 9 from 2:15 PM - 3:10 PM ROOM: W-192C
SPEAKER: Steve Vanderink, Regional Manager, Iscar Metals USA
Historically, direct labor was a large component of the cost to manufacture a part driving manufacturers to seek low-cost labor locations to make their products. Today's global manufacturer is employing more automation and manufacturing "intelligence," driving a trend to make the product where it is consumed with less emphasis on labor cost. The ability to recognize new methods and to absorb new technologies is the driving factor of success. Iscar is a leading cutting tool company that brings new ideas to help today's manufacturers maximize their investment in new machine tool technologies. Iscar also collaborates with other industry leaders to ensure good information exchange to support a total solution & education opportunities.

The slightest signs of recovery: The United States Department of Agriculture's latest food insecurity numbers -- that is, the number of people who don't know where their next meal is coming from -- aren't getting worse. And the very hungriest, those with the lowest food security, are slightly declining in number.
Though the numbers went down by a couple of percentage points for all races, blacks and Latinos are still disproportionately suffering from hunger. While 11 percent of white households have some level of food insecurity, 25.1 percent of black families don't know whether they'll have enough food before the next paycheck comes in.
The numbers for Latino families is even more disturbing. Though 26.1 percent of Latinos are food insecure, a full 50 percent of children of immigrants don't have adequate, nutritious food. And according to Bread for the World, a hunger advocacy organization, these children don't have access to food stamp benefits or even free or reduced school lunch, because their undocumented parents fear being discovered.
"Some immigrant parents believe they will be deported to their countries, but that is not true," Ivone Guillen of Bread for the World said in a statement. "They can apply for government assistance because their kids are U.S. citizens."
While about 80 percent of U.S. households don't worry about whether they can feed themselves, adults in about 10 percent of households go without so their children can eat, while in another 9 percent, both children and adults are food insecure. In one percent of homes, the USDA found "very low food security," which is measured by quality of meals, how often meals are skipped, and whether people lost weight because they couldn't afford food.
The government began calling "hunger" "food security" in acknowledgment that lack of access to food for the vast majority of Americans is "recurrent but not chronic."

Tor Hamer wants to get back into the Top American Prospect Conversation
By Matt Thompson
Photo: Marty Rosengarten/RingsidePhotos.com
On Wednesday, August 14, DiBella Entertainment (DBE) and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's SMS Promotions return to B.B. King Blues Club and Grill for the latest edition of New York City's Broadway Boxing series. Headlining the card is a heavyweight match up between popular New Yorker Tor Hamer (20-2, 13 KOs) and tough veteran Kertson Manswell (23-7, 17 KOs) of Trinidad and Tobago. Wednesday night marks only the second time Hamer will step into the ring since his tough loss to Vyacheslav Glazkov last December in a bout in which he retired after round four when he was unable to answer the bell.
Hamer recently sat down with Fightnews.com to lend some insight into his camp as he prepares to fight Manswell tomorrow night. The interview covered a wide range of topics to include life after boxing and what Hamer must do to get back into the top American heavyweight prospect conversation.
With less than a week to go before your bout against Kertson "The Pride of Tobago" Manswell, have you done anything differently this camp?
It hasn't been all that different. Usually when I fight opponents, we focus on the things that I am already good at. We focus on my strengths and tune them up to make sure that I am in good shape. We set a good pace at this camp and worked on the things that I have been successful on in the past.
Within the local New York fight scene, you are known for your commitment and dedication to fitness. You and your trainer, Sean Razor, are in the gym all of the time, often incorporating a wide array of disciplines into your training regiment, such as swimming and cross-fit. What do you do differently, that gives you an edge?
I am not sure that I do all that much differently than many other fighters. The main thing and I think the reason that I have enjoyed a fairly lengthy career when the average fighter's career is usually not that long is my consistency in the gym, that's really it. Nothing special that I do, no secret or special technique. I just am always in the gym. I keep myself in reasonably good shape even when I don't have a fight or when I am injured so that when I do have a fight I am ready.
As you pointed out, you are known for being in the gym in between fights. What keeps you motivated?
I am just a competitive person. I have an incredibly competitive spirit. I don't like to lose.
The last 18 months have been quite a whirlwind for your career: last summer you traveled to London where you completely dominated the Prize Fighter Tournament, winning all of your bouts against impressive opposition. In your next bout, you blew past Dominique Alexander for a second round TKO. Then in December you suffered a tough loss against Vyacheslav Glazkov where you were unable to answer the bell after round four. In your first fight of 2013, you returned to victory lane with a convincing third round TKO over Maurenzo Smith. What has that stretch of time taught you and what did you learn from that tough loss that has made you a better fighter moving forward?
Every fight teaches you something different and it's not just the actual bout itself. It is the process leading up to it and also how you recover after it. Each one of the fights that you mentioned brought something different to the table. Most importantly, the Glazkov fight was my first stoppage even though it was self-imposed. That fight definitely tested my mental toughness and my desire to continue in the sport. It is not easy in front of thousands of fans and the millions viewing at home to watch you quit on the stool. It is not easy to deal with. Especially when you have such commitment to the fans and you and your camp expected you to win. But learning how to deal with those kinds of failures and bouncing back and continuing to compete and train consistently, it is something can only make you stronger if you can fight through it. I think that process is very important and I have definitely gained a lot more respect for other athletes who consistently deal with losses on a more regular basis. For example, baseball players lose a bunch of games throughout the season. It is intense when everyone is watching you and paying attention to every move you make, your mistakes. Having the resiliency to bounce back is difficult. I think boxing is unique in that you don't get that many chances to fail. It is not like you get a game the next day or the next week to redeem yourself. But, that being said it is important as a fighter to have the mental toughness to move on.
The heavyweight division has not seen many Americans enjoy much success over the last decade. In fact, the Klitschko brothers have long sat atop the division holding all of the belts. Can you tell American boxing fans when they can expect to see an American heavyweight champion and does Tor Hamer deserve to be legitimately mentioned in the discussion of great young and up and coming American heavyweights?
Well I can't really make a strong argument for myself because I am still recovering from the tough loss to Glazkov last December and right now I am fighting opponents who are keeping me busy and are solid competition. These bouts are not propelling in the sport. I have to continue to keep fighting and earn fights against more accomplished competition and wait to see how I do. The good news for me is that the heavyweight division is wide open in my opinion and I am still relatively young. With regards to the other part of your question, a changing of the guard is coming. The Klitschkos have been great champions but they are not going to be around forever. They are going to retire at some point. They are getting older and have accomplished everything that there is to accomplish in the sport. Together they hold every belt and have made a lot a lot of money and short of fighting each other which they have made clear they aren't going to do. So something will give. Either their bodies or their interest will cause them to retire. As far as an American coming up and securing a belt, it will likely be a vacated belt type situation even then there will only be a handful of guys making a run. The great part about it that there is going to be a lot of very interesting boxing to come out of it all. Your gonna have guys like Bryant Jennings, Deontay Wilder, Seth Mitchell—young hungry guys duking it out against the older yet still talented guys like Chris Arreola, the more experienced veterans of the division who still have a opportunity to A: be competitive and B: make money in the sport. There will be a lot of belts changing hands and there will be a lot of bouts that will be extremely competitive unlike now where you just have two guys just dominating the division. You can't blame the Klitschkos for the lack of competition-it is not their fault-it just hasn't been all that competitive of late in the heavyweight division and once they retire that will almost certainly change.
You're 30 years old, you a have college degree, you're an accomplished professional athlete and you've even done some modeling on the side. Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but what might life after boxing have in store for Tor Hamer?
Well all that depends on how I leave the sport. With how much grace and how much money I leave the sport with. Many may know that one of my main hobbies outside of boxing is aviation and continuing to pursue aviation is one of real passions. As far as modeling or acting, it is just too inconsistent. You never know when your next job is coming. Any balance you might have from a normal 9 to 5 job, you rarely have modeling and acting early in your career.
You have a Harvard educated Father and a Villanova educated Mother and you have earned a bachelors degree from Penn State University. What was the conversation like when you went to them and said: "Mom and Dad I am going to be a professional boxer"?
Aaahhhhh-the same thing they've have always said. "Why?" (laughing) "It doesn't make sense. You shouldn't do it. Who put this idea in your head?"
And yet, they now are two of your biggest fans, often seen ringside at your bouts.
True, my Dad is a huge fan and my Mom is happy so long as I can pay my bills and I don't get hurt. Although, she would still like me to do something else.
One last question, before we go. Most fighters will say that they take one fight at a time. Following your bout on Wednesday, have you and your camp given any thought to what you might do and who your next opponent might be following your fight against Kertson Manwell?
Actually yeah, there are a bunch of guys we're looking at but the thing is because I am not what you would call the draw anymore, I am not a top prospect so much as I am now what you would call a high-class opponent with a lot of potential. I have to look at getting back to becoming the main attraction again. And the way you do that is you beat a more high profile fighter. So I try not to divulge in interview what my strategy is because you don't know what is going to happen. For example, the outcome of last night's match between Wilder and Liakhovich impacts the entire division. Additionally, I lost to a guy in Glazkov, who I truly think I should have beat. In fact, going into that fight I generally expected to win however, once I got in there I realized that I didn't have anything going in there. In the end, I lost a fight that my camp and I thought I would win. And now a bunch of guys who prior to that loss were considering me as a viable opponent now consider me to be beneath them. So all that being said, I try not to predict the future, one punch changes everything. So I will wait to see what opportunities come and see how I am progressing, whether the money makes sense, all of that. And then I'll make a decision-as you said, literally one fight at a time and the reason for that approach is that you don't know what is going to happen, circumstances change all the time and very quickly.
