What is the KILM?
The Key Indicators of the Labour Market (KILM) the ILO's research tool for labour market information. The first KILM was released in 1999. It has since become a flagship product of the International Labour Office (ILO) and is used on a daily basis by researchers and policy-makers throughout the world.
The KILM:
- is a comprehensive database of country-level data on 18 key indicators of the labour market (listed below) from 1980 to the latest available year. In this context, the KILM can serve as a tool for policy-makers and researchers in monitoring and assessing many of the pertinent issues related to the functioning of labour markets.
- is a source of the latest ILO world and regional estimates of employment and unemployment indicators. The estimates are presented in a box in each indicator's manuscript along with an analysis of the global and regional trends and data.
- is a training tool on development and use of labour market indicators. Each indicator is accompanied by descriptions of the standard international definition of the concept and measurement procedures, guidelines on how the indicator can be used in analyses of labour market issues, and words of caution on comparability limitations. Readers are guided on the value of using multiple indicators to develop a broader view of labour market developments.
- highlights current labour market trends. The trends identified in an analysis of each indicator accompany each indicator manuscript, with graphics to display results.
- analyses key issues in the labour market. Chapter 1 highlights "key issues" relating to the world's labour markets while demonstrating how labour market information is used to analyse labour market issues and to guide policy recommendations. Links to the "key issues" sections of the current and previous KILM editions are provided below.
The KILM 7th Edition is now available

The electronic products are updated on a regular basis.

ONE AFTERNOON IN THE LATE 1970's, deep in the labyrinthine interior of a massive Gothic tower in New Haven, an unsuspecting employee of Yale University opened a long-locked room in the Payne Whitney Gymnasium and stumbled upon something shocking and disturbing.
Shocking, because what he found was an enormous cache of nude photographs, thousands and thousands of photographs of young men in front, side and rear poses. Disturbing, because on closer inspection the photos looked like the record of a bizarre body-piercing ritual: sticking out from the spine of each and every body was a row of sharp metal pins.
The employee who found them was mystified. The athletic director at the time, Frank Ryan, a former Cleveland Browns quarterback new to Yale, was mystified. But after making some discreet inquiries, he found out what they were -- and took swift action to burn them. He called in a professional, a document-disposal expert, who initiated a two-step torching procedure. First, every single one of the many thousands of photographs was fed into a shredder, and then each of the shreds was fed to the flames, thereby insuring that not a single intact or recognizable image of the nude Yale students -- some of whom had gone on to assume positions of importance in government and society -- would survive.

Transfered my rig over to a new Phantom 410 red case today, also installed Corsair CX 750w and 2nd Sapphire VaporX 7950. Here ya go
Little confused, are you running a X.3 setup? I count two Klipsch Synergy ...10s (maybe 12s?), then another front firing on the left of the display.... Also, how big is that den area? Interesting choice to run dual (at the very least) subs imo, any reasoning behind it?
definately just the angle, no sagging, will see if I can get a better shot It's definitely this, if you look at the PCB's of the cards they are straight.
Sounds good, you have a much better look at them than I do. It has noting to do with the shrouds, I'm looking at the PCB in relation to the MB, and lines on it as well as the space between you cpu cooler fans and the PCB. Also, if you look in your first pic, the first card is missing a screw in the second PCI slot, so I thought that was the cause. Those hold up a bunch of weight. Great looking build, by the way
My rig... (not the greatest quality pics) 3 rads, single loop. This was my first experience with a Dremel. Next time I'm just going to buy something from CASELABS Specs: i7-3930k @ 4.7 W/C with Swiftech Apogee HD +H20 320 EDGE HD Rampage IV Formula (BIOS v3404) 16GB Corsair 1600MHz 2x Palit GTX 680 4GB w/ EK GTX+ blocks (313.96 Beta driver) Intel 520 240GB x2 - RAID 0 (Intel RST v220.127.116.110) TRIM working!

Yea, I had another look at that 1st shot today, the whole shot is skewed (no tripod) gimme 5 lemme see if I can get one with the camera on a flat surface, I think that skews the whole pic tbh. And thanks Edit: somewhat better as the camera was rested on my sub, the coolers do really throw you off and with the slight tilt of the camera on the previous pic it did give it a warped look Just noticed my 2nd card "Sapphire" isn't lit up, anything to do with zero-core perhaps?

How about some more Braves coverage this year? The complete pre-game show and fewer prempetions? That's what Braves fans really want!
I am so proud to have known Carl. We went to High School together in our native Jamaica and he has truly set the example as an inspiration to those of us who started so humbly and now have achieved so much. The awesome thing is that there is so much more he wants to do for others and I'm rooting for you, Mr. Whyte!
Great interview. Toby is an awesome person and a great coach. If you have a child between the ages of 6 and 19 and you want them to be good/great at football, Toby is your man. His passion and knowledge for the game is above all. You need to send them to one or both of his camps.
I always enjoy JC's comments and reports. Thanks for all you do JC!
This is the first time I have listened to Ron Morris and it will be my last. As a citizen of South Carolina, I am really ashamed that Mr. Morris is so intent in hurting our state University. For some reason, Mr. Morris has some sort of vendetta against Coach Spurrier. It sounded more to me that he was upset he would have lost his job had he been caught doing what Coach Mangus did, yet Mangus did not. He also kept mentioning that his discipline did not hurt the team. Why should it hurt the team? The team had nothing to do with what happened that night. As far as Stephen Garcia is concerned, while 5 suspensions is quite a bit for any athlete, nothing he has really done (other than one occasion) ever impacted anyone but himself. He is not a criminal and as a mother of a child almost his age, I applaud the University for sticking by him and helping him through his problems.
How about a story next time focusing on some of the wonderful stories coming out of the University of South Carolina? For the one or two things that you see as "selling out" you for some reason fail to see all of the wonderful and positive stories coming out of our football department. How about the 25 football players that recently graduated? How about our players leading the SEC with almost a 2.8 GPA. How about all the wonderful community programs and projects are players are involved in? How about getting to know our players better and realizing that the young men playing for USC now, are a different type of player than what was recruited in years past. For the most part, these are good, high character kids that are hard workers. How about all the GOOD Coach Spurrier and Eric Hyman have done in the past 5-6 years? Why no mention of any of that. It is obvious to many fans out there (and not just USC fans) that your beef is really with Steve Spurrier. It's sad that you cannot put that bitterness to the side and write an unbiased story.
I rarely read The State paper and this interview and the piece I read on Sunday only validates why I no longer subscribe.
Susan Sykes
Charleston, SC -
Morris certainly had an axe to grind with Lou Holtz and couldn't hide his vendetta against him. Now that Lou has moved on, his disdain has squarely fallen on SC football. Some folks like Morris always focus on the negative and tend to thrive on it. I pity MoRon and those like him.
Right on Susan, that hit the mark.
What about Scout.com (I think the most accurate) and MaxPreps?
Great new long time listner of the Score happy to hear they are joing the ESPN Spartanburg family….

Disagree. Samuels was third best of the group.
I said if we're ranking the best Redskins LTs--considering their impact on the team's success, etc, then Samuels is the 3rd best. & Jacoby is the no brainer #1. But, if I'm scouting these three players at the same time in each of their careers, Samuels is the best player. In the end, I went with Jacoby. But, Jacoby was not a more talented LT. Even Joe Gibbs said that Jacoby got by on grit, determination and heart. He is a legend. That's why he's #1.
Sorry, but nobody, well maybe you, thought Samuels was the best LT in the league when he was playing. He wasn't better than Ogden, Pace, or Walter Jones (all played during parts of his career). I know who picks the probowl, but I don't remember Samuels being voted in as a starter. The guy was great against the bottom feeders of the DE position and just good against the premier pass rushers. Not to mention, he wasn't going to manhandle anyone in the run game.
That is why I have to go with Jacoby. Lachey was a technician, but I like those nasty lineman who will get you a 3rd and 1, guaranteed, just run right up Jacoby's back and move the chains.
just my 2 cents.
I said in the NFC. Read slower. Ogden was in the AFC. And, yes, Walter Jones was better than Samuels. But, Jones is an All Time great LT. Being consistently the 2nd best to one of the All Time best is nothing to sneeze at. Not to mention, I said that Jacoby is the best Redskins LT. Just like Art Monk is the greatest Redskins WR, but if you ask me Charlie Taylor was a better athlete. It's a matter of how you view the question when you're comparing players across 3 decades.
I read your post again, and whether I read it slower or faster you said Samuels was regarded as the best LT in the NFC by his peers. That statement is false. You supported the rest of my statement when discussing Walter Jones. I like Samuels but I personnally think he was overrated. I can see why you are a fan and I respect your opinion. Just making sure the facts are accurate and it is a fact that he was not regarded as the best LT in the NFC at the time. So maybe you should type slower and more accurately. Take Care.
The NFC is not "the league" as you said. It's a conference within the league. And, the Seattle Seahawks were a member of the AFC for the first 4 years that Walter Jones played. But, whatever.
The bottom line is Samuels was a perrinial Pro Bowler at LT
Lachey. Lawrence Taylor could not beat Lachey one-on-one. Taylor was too quick for Jacoby when LT rushed the passer; Jacoby would trample Taylor on running plays.
Lachey was nimble...always got himself between Taylor and the QB. Taylor couldn't go outside, couldn't go inside, and couldn't go through Lachey.
Belichick finally had to disguise Taylor...have LT lay back, circle from the opposite side after someone else had locked up with Lachey.

Description Report Fraud
Chevrolet K10 4X4 Short Bed Pickup, for sale in Arlington, Texas, for $19,900.
1979 Chevrolet K10 4X4 Short Bed
There aren't many classics you can man your furniture with and then pull into a show later that day. Well thats where trucks shine! These vehicles were originally built to last and take the beating of being worked and driven everyday. Well as time has gone on these have become cool vintage classics just like their muscle car and street rod counterparts. This 1979 Chevrolet K10 has that cool classic look and drives extremely well. It has been very well cared for with most of it being entirely rebuilt only 5,000 miles ago. The short wide bed body is nice and straight with no problems. It is coated in a nice Silver paint that has a great finish. All of the original style trim is cleanly mounted in place and is in good condition. Along the rear bed lid is the correct white trim with the nice "Chevrolet" emblem. The front and rear bumper are beautifully chromed and have a great shine. The grill on the truck is brand new and is framed by the nicely mounted headlights on each side. Large chrome side mirrors are mounted to each side and are fully adjustable. The glass has all been professionally tinted and is chip/scratch free. The bed of the truck is coated black and topped with a rubber matting for protection. A diamond plate RKI toolbox is nicely mounted for some extra storage out of the weather. The truck rolls around on original style wheels with polished beauty rings. The wheels have been powder coated and are wrapped in nice BFGoodrich all terrain tires.
The 350 crate motor under the hood of this classic runs very well with a nice smooth idle. It is brand new and hardly broken in. It has a nice Black air cleaner that tops it off nicely. The automatic transmission has been all rebuilt and shifts nice and smoothly. The brake system has also all been rebuilt with a nice power brake boosted mounted under the hood. Being a 4X4 there is a 3:70 positrac system in both front and rear. The suspension system has also been entirely rebuilt to provide a great ride.
The interior of the truck is all new and in beautiful condition. The Red vinyl looks great contrasting the Silver and shows very little wear. The dash is all beautifully painted and is currently topped with a cloth red dash pad to keep it protected. It utilizes all the original style knobs, switches, vents, gauges, etc. Everything works and this truck needs nothing. The headliner is in great condition and has a nicely mounted interior courtesy light. The seats have all been redone to the original style but are hidden under a nice cloth cover so they continue looking brand new. The door panels utilize all the correct original hardware which is in great condition.
This is a classic you can take anywhere. You can take it on national classic car cruises, hang at your local show, or just use it for your daily work truck!

I just came across this wonderful poem, just written for 5768 by Rachel Barenblat on her blog at, Velveteen Rabbi. The photo is mine. Have a sweet year!.
What matters isn't
who I am on retreat,
singing the day into being,but who I am
when I've come home
to the cat and the bills,to-do list as long
as the yoga mat
I too rarely unfurl.The real work
is living my intentions
at my desk, the laptop open;in a slow-moving line
at the grocery store
past screaming tabloids;when someone I love
loses a job or a partner
or a body that works.Elul, this moon
cycling its phases
before the days of awe,is a string on my finger
tefillin on my arm
a winding reminderthat I don't need
the addictions of ego
or self-importance.Every instant
is a new year, a new chance
to bear again in mindthat every sunrise
is the light of creation
in sweet repriseand every moment
is a prayer I'm blessed
to be able to recite.

Sundance Institute, Charity of the Day
Filed under: Charity, Charity of the Day
Although there are plenty of causes, both locally and around the world, that need money for urgent and life-saving purposes, there is something to be said for giving a little energy and money to saving the arts as well. What is the world without beauty and creativity? One such charity is the Sundance Institute, founded by Robert Redford in 1981 as a way to "discover, support, and inspire independent film and theatre artists from the United States and around the world," and to get those works out to audiences. Perhaps most famous for its annual "Sundance Film Festival," the Sundance Institute has many programs and different ways to get involved so get inspired and check it out.

About Me Caring Individual, Education Oriented, Educator, Parent
My twinz loved it! we found it to be very unique and the kids enjoyed making new designs on the dolls. It was a perfect x-mas gift from Santa. I'd like the company to create more products like that w/all types of dolls, for ex: barbie & bratz. I would suggest that the product can be made for all races.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- More than 12,000 Minneapolis-area nurses are planning to hit picket lines today in a dispute over staffing levels and pension benefits.
The nurses have authorized a one-day strike on 14 hospitals in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The hospitals say they've hired enough well-qualified replacement nurses to operate safely during the strike.
Health care costs have been skyrocketing and hospitals are trying to trim their budgets. Nurse pay and benefits are among their largest expenses.

Yo sega, I didn't even bother to ask him and he reminded me of it, but I wouldnt change that.
Yo sega, I didn't even bother to ask him and he reminded me of it, but I wouldnt change that.
What kind of dumbfuck guy enters into such a shitty legal contract like marriage these days? What if someone came to you and said, look, I want you to sign these legal papers. Just know that there's a 60% chance this contract will fail and you're going to get royally fucked.
My favorite sound in the world is the silence after the first gunshot. There's a stillness, as though the air itself is afraid to move. I do some of my best work in that silence.
I mean in terms of social norms and culture, maybe not for everyone but at least when I was in my 20's, if you had asked me about getting a girl's hand in marriage approved by her father I'd think you just stepped out of an Archie comic or something. I'm talking more about suburban white kids than the youth today at large, though. Just look at their culture: The music, it's mass produced corporate controlled shit or a bunch of indie rockers in flannel shirts pretending they are Buddy Holly, for one. Not to mention the FCC cracking down on fucking everything, and we're more politically correct than ever, but they don't give a shit.. Then you add to that the blind faith in corporations and trust in their technology, I think that all of the gains made in the 60's and 70's have been rolled back. These are just not cool times, I'm glad I came of age in the early 90's.
The boomers came of age in the 60's and 70's and they didn't turn out so great. Look at all the refuse that came out of the "counter-culture" from the new age movement, the ecological movement, postmodernism, cultural Marxism, existential nihilism, the drug culture etc. All the significant cultural gains were made by the generation of Americans who brought us the New Deal, the Civil Rights Movement, the New Frontier, the Great Society etc. I think there was a sense of optimism, progress and working class solidarity that was somehow lost in a haze of drugs, "finding yourself" and learning to hate Western Civilization.
Hey its her father ... let her handle it.
Never crossed my mind ... it wasn't like she was a teenager either. And I think it put him in his place too. So there.
I would never even consider doing this. Who gives a fuck what he thinks about it, anyway?
My mother died when I was 27 and my father died when I was 31, so neither was around. I was 34 when I met my future fiance/husband. I brought flowers to the cemetery on their wedding anniversary and he went with me. He said a prayer over their graves and told them he wished he had the chance to meet them, and that he would always be there to look out for me.

LOOKING FORWARD: The PHENIX detector at the RHIC collider analyzes the results of high-speed particle smashups.
Image: BNL
Until recently, the American particle collider was a thriving species spanning a variety of habitats from coast to coast. But now it finds itself on the endangered list.
Since 2008 the number of colliders in the U.S. has dwindled from four to one. And the last surviving member of the species, the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y., may soon fall victim to the same budgetary blight that has already felled so many other towering scientific facilities. Just last year the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) phased out the larger Tevatron collider at Fermilab in Illinois, citing fiscal constraints. The increasingly rare breed known as the collider is a particle accelerator in which two beams of high-energy particles intersect to collide head-on inside giant detectors, which allow physicists to sift through the wreckage for short-lived particles or evidence of new physical phenomena.
The RHIC collider is one of three major projects now under scrutiny as federal science agencies seek to reconcile their portfolios of physics facilities with tightening budgets. The DoE and the National Science Foundation have requested that a panel of nuclear physicists, chaired by Robert Tribble of Texas A&M University, advise the government on how to get the most science out of limited funds. It appears likely that at least one of the costly projects—either RHIC, the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Virginia or the planned Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) in Michigan—will fall victim to the cost-cutting. Any termination would cost hundreds of jobs and affect thousands of scientist users.
"The three of these things … they can't all fit within the budgets that the DoE has been told to anticipate for the next five years or so," says Steven Vigdor, associate laboratory director for nuclear and particle physics at Brookhaven. "It's conceivable, but I think it's a long shot, that there's a compromise solution that doesn't involve terminating something."
The RHIC collider, with a staff of about 750, could provide the biggest target for cost-cutters. Its operation costs the DoE roughly $170 million annually. But RHIC is also the only facility of the three that is currently in operation, and it seems to be hitting its peak, having recently been upgraded. RHIC rams protons or heavy nuclei from gold, copper or uranium atoms together at nearly light speed to investigate what produces the proton's spin as well as the universe's composition in the earliest instants after the big bang. The high-speed collisions of heavy ions produce a nearly frictionless fluid called a quark–gluon plasma, a hot bouillabaisse of the fundamental particles that form the heart of all atoms. Quark–gluon plasma was first produced at RHIC in 2005, and scientists there are now working to explore at which temperatures the quarks and gluons freeze out from their fluid state into protons and neutrons.
Like the other two facilities, RHIC comes highly recommended by nuclear physics advisory groups. A 2012 report by the National Research Council identified the completed RHIC upgrade, and an ongoing upgrade at Jefferson Lab, as strategic investments whose exploitation "should be an essential component of the U.S. nuclear science program for the next decade."
The Tribble panel operates under the auspices of the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC), which provides guidance to the federal funding agencies. Tribble's subcommittee will meet in Maryland over four days in early September, during which time representatives of the various facilities will have an opportunity to lobby for their projects. "We and the other laboratories are taking this really seriously in the sense of a threat to our continued operation, and for FRIB to their continued construction," Vigdor says.

A reward seeking information about an Indian man who went missing from a Dublin apartment last
month has doubled, to $4,000.
Siva Kumar Singh-Gadwal, 56, has been missing since Dec. 11, when he left his daughter and
son-in-law's home for a short walk. They live on Perimeter Lakes Drive, in a complex near Rt. 33
and Avery-Muirfield Road.
Central Ohio Crime Stoppers offered a $1,000 reward and Singh-Gadwal's family added $1,000.
Crime Stoppers announced an additional $2,000 today from Goken America, the employer of
Singh-Gadwal's son-in-law, Satyajit Chauhan.
Singh-Gadwal was not familiar with the United States but liked to take short walks to nearby
grocery stores, his family said. He did not have a car, passport, cellphone or credit cards when he
left the apartment.
He and his wife arrived from India in early October to see their first grandchild, who was
born on Nov. 1 to their only child, Madhuri Gadwal.
Anyone with information about the missing man is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 614-645-4749
or Dublin police at 614-889-1112.

Conditions of Use
Is it living? Well, my class took 5 vials and put yeast, red sand, orbies, radishes, and brine in them. We waited a couple days and then recorded the data in our notebooks. After about 72 hours we found that none of the substances had any change except for the pink orbies and the radishes that had begun to sprout into life. My team realized that the only substances that were alive were the radishes and the brine. The radishes were alive because they began to sprout and the brine was alive because it is eggs that will eventually hatch.

"A Snowball's Chance" (High School Dropouts Tell Their Stories) book review
Friday, May 17th, 2013"A Snowball's Chance" book review
Powerful, traumatic stories of teenage drugs, pregnancies, juvenile prison time, poverty — by eight young people in Southern AZ are edited by Susan Lulic Enholm of Tucson. The eight (Carlos, Christina, DeAnne, Jarid, Marquis, Megan, Melissa, Nicole) are all now adults, and in their own words honestly related how they grew up with mostly unwed or divorced parents, in poverty, in dysfunctional families where some of their parents used drugs. And these eight separately got involved with inappropriate peer groups/gangs, drugs, sex at early ages. And several had babies as teenagers.
The stories are heartbreaking (especially ones about sexual abuse) but realistic. And all of these young people eventually drop out of high school due to failing grades & performance, inability to study or control their impulses. None of these eight young people had good role models to follow, and several of them witnessed domestic violence or suffered from child abuse.
In Melissa's own words:
"Probation was a turning point, obviously. Hang in there. Don't drop out. Life is too important to leave your education behind. You can't get anywhere without an education. You'll probably regret it. I know I did. I regretted it a long time.I think if you have a drug problem, talk to someone about it. I think you'll know if you have a problem because you just feel it. You have this aching where you have to get higher and higher. Get help right away." (page 89)
These stories are in sharp contrast to young people who grow up in a privileged world of middle or upper class wealth – with intact, loving parents, no drugs, no teen sex, college bound expectations, but later may become people who also face adversity through bad marriage or career choices, infertility, and depression.
The book is a worthy attempt to reach out to teens who are going through similar circumstances, and who may need to hear how other young people "turned their lives around". Some of them specifically related what their lowest point in life was and what caused them to change, and escape the chaotic world they were in.
Although the editor is not in contact with these authors anymore, one hopes that they have found better lives, and may be able to change the lives of their own children and break the cycles of poverty, crime, child abuse.
This book portrays horror but inspires hope.
Contact the editor Susan Enholm at firstname.lastname@example.com for information on how to purchase her book, which sells at $12.95, published by City Girl Press, www.citygirlpress.com. It's in e-Book and softcover.

REVIEW: A Little Folly by Jude Morgan
Dear Mr. Morgan, I haven't read many Regency era books lately. Whenever I've looked at new releases, I've almost immediately been put off of them for some reason, often before I've even finished the blurb. Usually it's some bizarre plot set up or mistorical aspect which promises to make me cringe if I should ignore(…)

Great ice cream, very reasonably priced, great friendly service too! Perfect location in front of Pantheon too!
One of the best gelatos of my life. When in Rome you have to try this Gelato. We just couldn't get enough of it.
Have read so many great reviews, we went to try II Gelato too. I didn't test any flavors which might be a mistake, and being conservative, I chose extra dark chocolate and ricotta & blueberry. They were great, but didn't 'wow' me... Next time, I would be more bold to try some innovative flavors!!!
Not far away from the crowdy streets of centro storico, a quiet heaven for ice cream lovers. Lots of different tastes (I counted 12 different chocolates) with some risky ones (try brie, grana or gorgonzola just once in your life). And half the price of touristy places (2 for 2 euros, 3 for 3 euros...), so it is always nice... More
I have died and gone to Heaven! Well not literally but if (ok when) I do then Heaven will look like this place, a Gelato fans dream come true!

I love ice cream, so during my two weeks in Italy I had a LOT of gelato. This is by far the best. The selection is huge and the quality is excellent. We happily just stumbled on the place, but it is definitely worth map questing.
Why, oh why did we wait until the last day of our trip to come here? We were like Italians in a gelato shop. The variety of flavors to choose from was incredible. From basic favorites to new flavor combinations that we would have never thought of, there is something here for everyone! That includes people with a gluten allergy,... More
We've had the incredible fortune to be inRome twice in the past year and have visited Il Gelato Centro Storico almost daily both trips. Incredible seasonal flavors, granitas in the Summer, and practically an entire ROOM dedicated to numerous different chocolate gelatos. Bonus is the sweet and friendly guy who scoops while wearing the MOST adorable red elf cap -... More
I had two scoops of the lemon-almond gelato that I have been thinking about nearly every day since I've been back in California... Although the place is a little secluded, it isn't too difficult to find, because there is a sign on the main streets that points you in the right direction. The Spanish Steps are about five minutes away.... More
This place is sort of hidden down a small side street near the Spanish Steps. Go there! Great gelato. It has all the traditional flavors you love plus very unique ones that are worth having a free taste. I ended up really loving the brie and berries. It was a combination of sweet and savory at the same time. May... More

Rihanna's recent dates with a basketball star were just 'a distraction'.
The singer was spotted with New York Knicks player J.R. Smith several times last month. While there was speculation Rihanna had fallen for the bad boy athlete, those close to the star insist she isn't interested in taking things any further.
'The dates with J.R. weren't serious,' a source told Look magazine. 'It was just a distraction ' another wild night where she met the wrong kind of guy and had too much fun.'
Rumours have been circulating that Rihanna has grown close to her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown again. They are believed to be spending increasing amounts of time together, which is reportedly the reason behind Rihanna's reluctance to commit to another man.
'She is definitely not over Chris. She tries, but then she'll bump into him at an event. and it takes her straight back. I think she clings to this idea that it's fate pushing them together,' a source revealed. 'It's always an, 'If with her when she's talking about Chris. She just doesn't make good choices when it comes to men.'

Chromatic Casting: David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman
By Arturo R. García
It was confirmed earlier this week that NBC is moving forward with the pilot episode for David E. Kelley's much-discussed Wonder Woman revamp. Not only that, but the alleged script for the episode has leaked online.
So, using some reports on the script as a guide, let's step back into remix mode and pick contenders for both the characters confirmed to appear, and some important members of Diana's personal canon, assuming the show survives.
A note on the choices: this time around, I played it a little closer to the vest and went with actors more likely to be available. So, names like Maggie Q (Nikita), Rutina Wesley (True Blood) and D.B. Woodside (Hellcats) missed the cut.
That said, if you're a fan of Joss Whedon, some of these picks might make you wish (again) he'd gotten to stick with the project.
First, let's talk about Diana herself. According to iFanboy, this Diana is very much written as the archetypical Kelley heroine: juggling a lot of hats in her life. And in this case, three different identities:
Primarily, she is Wonder Woman, superhero crime fighter in Los Angeles. In a world (and a town) that worships celebrities, she's the biggest one there is. She is also Diana Themyscira (her "secret identity" is not a secret to the world), the head of Themyscira Industries, whose primary function is to make money to fund Wonder Woman's super heroics. They do this primarily through selling Wonder Woman merchandise. But Themyscira Industries also functions as her super hero support staff: she's got analysts and techies and such to help her while she's in the field. What most people don't know is that Diana has a THIRD identity, that of Diana Prince. In this identity she pulls a Clark Kent act – she puts in colored contacts and puts on glasses and changes her hair and her body language. This identity serves to help Diana feel more normal and more a part of the world around her, which will clearly be a running theme in the series. It is implied in the script that as Diana Prince she also holds a low level job at Themyscira Industries, which is honestly kind of bizarre.
Entertainment Weekly had previously released a wish-list of its' own for the role, but with all due respect … uh, Keri Russell? Sorry, but in this case a popular fandom pick still fits:
Wonder Woman: Gina Torres
Kelley's version of Diana seems to be written to be in her thirties, an unexpected blessing – can't really see Torres playing an ingenue, y'know? Plus, the argument that Torres wouldn't "get" the character is now absolutely null and void: Torres voiced WW for the recently-released DCU Online video game, as well as her evil alternate-universe counterpart, Superwoman, in the Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths animated feature. Whether it be in the old-school star-spangled shorts originated by Lynda Carter, or the new "street avenger"-ish costume, this should be Torres' role to lose. Her biggest challenge would be lifting up some of the more groan-worthy lines in the script, which includes lines like, "Lucy's got some 'splaining to do." Seriously.
Of course, Kelley also has a tendency to fail the Bechdel test, and according to a review in Bleeding Cool, that's the case for the pilot, as well, which features WW's original love interest, Steve Trevor.
Steve Trevor is a major factor in Diana's life. Trevor is also the key motivator for her not only leaving the island, but coming to LA. He's the LOVE of her life. It's great to see Wonder Woman with a love interest. My concern is it's just such a big part of her story. That and that she moons like a teenager (She's supposed to be early 30s) over him. This love has kicked her ass according to Kelley's script. She's "Like a deer in the headlights" when she sees him. "Death" it says in the script as she hears his romantic status. Why can't we just have a fun Diana who is like a female Bruce Wayne dating a new guy or girl every week? Having her so attached to one person is another example of the small scope of the show.
Based on this, Trevor's character seems to be the trickiest: based on Kelley's prior efforts, he's probably going to be written as a well-meaning alpha male around just about everybody but Diana. And in true Kelley tradition, he's going to be a lawyer. So you need somebody who can command attention, while still being sympathetic (and, also as per Kelley tradition, maybe a bit shady, too.)
Steve Trevor: Ian Anthony Dale
I gave The Event a shot when it debuted, but when almost nothing of interest happened in the premiere, I walked away. That said, Dale's character, Agent Simon Lee, stood out by being … well, halfway interesting. He could fare better as a romantic lead, while the character would allow him to retain some action-hero swagger.
(Aside: What about Boris Kodjoe from Undercovers, you ask? Well, he and co-star Gugu Mbatha-Raw are my own Chromatic Iron Man & Pepper Potts. Just saying.)
Myndi Main: Dichen Lachman
Lachman's emergence as Priya/Sierra on Dollhouse was one of the series' highlights, even if her character went through the most severely messed-up backstory in the series. So playing Diana's girl Friday might give Lachman a chance to do something more fun, for a change. And, hey, if the tempo needs to be changed, it shouldn't be a problem.
Etta Candy: Miracle Laurie Here's where things start getting confusing. Etta dates back to the 1940s, and has been written over the years as being weight-conscious, which could prove problematic. I went with Laurie, who played Mellie/November on Dollhouse, out of hope that she both gets to play a more size-positive version of Etta, positioned here as Diana's personal assistant – and that later on we get to discover Etta is actually a spy assigned to shadow her, which would allow Laurie to get in on the action.
Veronica Cale: Indira Varma
Cale, put simply, is Diana's personal Lex Luthor – brilliant, ruthless, and ego-driven. Keeping in mind that Luthor is at his best when written to be graceful, you need an actress that smartens up any scene, and Varma's recent run on BBC shows like Torchwood and Luther showed all of those sides. She's been appearing on ABC's Human Target adaptation, but would getting the chance to play a true Big Bad lure her to jump ship? We hope so.
These are all the primary characters we know about right now, so from this point on it's all a roll of the dice. Diana's got more potentially screen-ready rogues than you might imagine, but it's all a matter of having the chance to get to them. It should also be noted that I'm sticking with the more "classic" comic-book versions of the characters, instead of the ones used in J. Michael Straczynski's recent truncated reboot.
Cheetah: Dania Ramírez
The character got some shine in the various SuperFriends cartoons in the late 1970s, but for this version, we're going with Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva, an archaeologist whose rivalry with Diana escalates from simply wanting to steal her Lasso of Truth into something more personal. Add to that the werewolf-like pain Minerva's super-fast alter-ego causes her, and becomes the kind of wild-card that could cause real damage.
And as maligned as Ramírez's efforts on Heroes were, she does have some experience in comic-book land, and as a speedster, to boot: her version of Callisto in the equally-maligned X-Men 3: The Last Stand was one of the few highlights of the film.
Artemis: Kelly Hu
Yeah, I know Hu is on The Vampire Diaries, but if Kelley ever decides to recreate the arc where the character, Diana's fiercest friend/rival from Paradise Island, actually takes over as WW, forcing a humbled Diana must win back her title by trial of combat, you need a solid action heroine to believably stand up to Torres, and Hu has plenty of experience on that front.
Circe: Laila Rouass One of Diana's most well-established rivals. Aristocratic, sensual, and a schemer – in other words, the kind of character Rouass played to perfection on Footballers Wives a few years back.
Hippolyta: Angela Bassett
THE guest-star, and in a weird way, it would work in the confines of the Kelleyverse. Because if Diana's ex-boyfriend causes her this much grief, how intimidating would it be to face the prospect of her "mother" visiting? How could Bassett play Torres' mother, you ask? Simple – Diana, let's not forget, was molded from clay. (It's comic-books.)
Ares: Henry Lennix
You could get really cute and cast Torres' husband, Laurence Fishburne, as the God of War here. But Lennix played a warrior in his own right in The Matrix Revolutions opposite Fishburne, and has the gravitas to elevate even the goofiest sci-fi writing. Remember, on Dollhouse he played an Evil Genius who pretended to go to work for his own company in order to observe and then experiment on a woman his company captured while she was trying to destroy it. And all this before his character's mind was wiped and killed off. So anything Kelley comes up with here can't be that strange by comparison.
Early reviews of the pilot script indicate that Kelley is on the right path, which is encouraging – it's way past time Wonder Woman returned to a national spotlight, since DC Comics has long promoted her as being on par with Superman and Batman as a cornerstone of its' universe. But this new show is fighting not just the hopes and expectations of Diana's fans, but Kelley's own history of placing "quirks" above strengths, and NBC's track-record with this kind of show, as demonstrated by Heroes, and now, The Cape, a 1990s-tastic slice of awful that, hopefully, is not long for this world. That said, though, the program might be better off at NBC than at The CW, the longtime home of Clark Kent on Smallville, because it spares us the chance of this scene from Superman #708 playing out:
Bottom line: Diana is nobody's fangirl – she's an inspiration in her own right. Let's hope Kelley gets that.

Ginas Torres looks like Philipus mentor to Wonder Woman and Captain of the army of Themyscira.
I'm wishing for Tanit Phoenix; Nadia Bjorlin; Lorena Bernal or Megan Fox Dispute will be protagonist title of Wonder Woman.
Lorena Bernal physical resemblance to the beautiful Megan Fox.
The supermodel Tanit Phoenix looks like Lynda Carter, ex-Wonder Woman.
Nadia Bjorlin is greater resemblance to Wonder Woman comic. -
Arturo wrote about this here:
But it's more about the whole context. If it was just one or two characters getting the racial swap, it wouldn't be very remarkable. But there is a history of whitewashing characters of color – and maintaining entirely white worlds in general – in filmmaking. So the question Art asks is if it is so easy to change a character from of color to white, why doesn't it work the opposite way.
The outrage from fans, by the way, tells the story. If a character becomes white (like with the racebending debacle) it's because "maybe that's the best actor for the role." If a white character becomes darker, it's "an outrage" or "out of canon."

Summary (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
"To His Coy Mistress" is a witty exploration of the traditional carpe diem theme, and it can be read on several levels. On the surface, it functions extremely effectively as a lover's argument in favor of pursuing pleasure. The speaker begins by assuring his lady that, "Had we but world enough, and time," he would be well content to love her at a slow pace, devoting thousands of years to adoring each part of her. Time in this stanza is an agent of growth, as the speaker assures his beloved, "My vegetable love should grow/ Vaster than empires, and more slow." The initial stanza moves at a leisurely metrical pace as the speaker uses extravagant and playful images to persuade the lady of his devotion and his wish that he could love her with the slow thoroughness that she deserves.
In the second stanza, the speaker shifts to images of swiftly passing time to impress upon his love that they in fact do not have the leisure to love at this slow rate. "At my back I always hear/ Time's winged chariot hurrying near," he says. Now time is destructive, and the meter moves rapidly. The speaker resorts to images of decay that are at once whimsical and frightening as he attempts to convince the beloved of the need to consummate their love in the present. Though images of death and decay are not unusual in carpe diem lyrics, Marvell's images are particularly graphic and alarming: "in thy marble vault . . . / worms shall try/ That long-preserved...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
In "To His Coy Mistress," his most famous poem, Andrew Marvell follows many of the conventions of the carpe diem (Latin for "seize the day") theme in poetry. This type of poem dates from ancient times and was made popular in English in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries by such writers as Sir Walter Ralegh, Christopher Marlowe, and Robert Herrick. In such poems, typically, the speaker is an eager male lover lamenting the brevity of life to persuade his female listener to yield to his sexual advances. Thus a carpe diem complaint is perhaps best understood not as a love poem but as a lust poem.
Marvell adheres to this tradition in several ways, but he dispenses with the pastoral scenery and songlike lyrical quality typical of much carpe diem verse. Marvell cleverly invests this pagan argument (life is short and uncertain, so one must partake of all the pleasures one can) with somewhat melancholy Christian allusions. His poem is more ambitious as art than is the standard shepherd's lament. Marvell frames the familiar urgings of the frustrated lover within three strictly organized verse paragraphs that resemble a three-part syllogism, a formula logicians use to demonstrate the validity of an argument. The argument in the poem concerns sexual gratification. The speaker's premise in the first verse paragraph describes the rate at which he would woo the lady, given time enough to do so properly. In the second verse paragraph, the...

Your tart look so beautiful (like the one who made it). This is the only fruit tart that my family will definitely eat (they don't any like cooked fruit in their dessert) So summer is the time where I will make this very often. I just made this yesterday, but it was for my husband's business related party. I was so glad that the tart was gone in a second. My husband said that it was so popular, considering most of them are doctors and they really really health conscious! I guess even they can not resist!
We have similar recipe, the only different is I use apricot jelly to glaze the berries. - May 28, 2009 at 7:41 AM

NHL Opening Weekend: The Blues Shine, the Red Wings (Might) Stink, and Teemu Is So Happy
By Sean McIndoe atIt's probably foolish to try to read anything into two days' worth of games, especially when half the players in the NHL are still trying to get back to pre-lockout form. But that's no reason not to try, so here are 10 random observations from the NHL's opening weekend:
The Blues made a statement
The St. Louis Blues entered the season as a trendy pick to win the Western Conference. They looked the part Saturday, pummeling the Detroit Red Wings, 6-0, and outshooting them, 17-2, in a first-period display that played out as a near-perfect depiction of Ken Hitchcock hockey.
The game also featured the breakout performance of opening weekend, with Blues rookie Vladimir Tarasenko scoring a pair of goals, including a filthy individual effort in his NHL debut. The 21-year-old 2010 first-round pick has spent the last few seasons in the KHL, and could make a major impact if he can bring consistent production to a Blues offense that wasn't exactly intimidating last year.
But while Tarasenko could be the league's next big star, let's hold off on the hype until we see him do it against an NHL-caliber defense.
Which is my polite way of saying

The shoes do not the wardrobe make, jwallace.
I uttertotally disagree with this. I find her presence to be captivating!!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? He is the sole reason as to why I have many many blue oxfords and always searching for more.
The reason as to how I got my blue oxford 'fetish'.
Jane Fonda, like many celebs, has lived some of her personal conflicts in the public eye. I do not envy her that! She's also noted in the past that her body self-image was a problem from the start -- she had an eating disorder. I don't think being cast for one's looks helped that situation.
As noted, when one's appearance is part of the reason for one's fame, it's no doubt tougher than ever to sort out the issues.
Yes, Mary, and two very beautiful faces, indeed. I found this interview with Jane Fonda very interesting. I liked what she said about deciding on the plastic surgery to look more as she felt. I believe this is important, to see the reflection of how you feel. Unfortunately, we not always can achieve this, and then we can feel trapped in our own body.
This whole issue comes with emotional and psychological issues, too, and I sense from some of her thoughts. See how her body lanaguage changes, and becomes on guard when she talks about here father.
I would like to read her book, and see what she says about how to do a life review. I have been thinking of how useful would it be to do a life review every five years.
True, Susan. But interestingly, I heard a couple of years back that Jane Fonda mentioned having "had work done" about 20 years ago, then decided against having more later, because she knew that if she did "she would never work again."
Presumably, the reason was that plastic surgery would make her unrecognizable as her original self.
It's happened: Meg Ryan being the best example. Once she overhauled her face, her career tanked.
"...but in entertainment, there must be incredible pressure to stay young,..."
Many of them also fear to lose their jobs if they don't stay young and beautiful, especially women.
All true, Susan. But in many instances, perfectly fine-looking people jump into plastic surgery based on a distorted self image. How many times have we seen a public figure with a changed face and longed just to see an older version of someone recognizable?
Thankfully, most average-looking folk don't have that much risk when it comes to extreme measures; but in entertainment, there must be incredible pressure to stay young, and the temptation to get operated on must be pretty strong. The key I suppose is to avoid anything extreme. Just a little bit of botox for the famous; maybe a tiny face lift.
"And I'm not sure society is always to blame. We all have a responsiblity to ourselves to resist the urge to cling to youth no matter what."
Yes, but it also hurts deeply when someone tells you you are old and ugly based on appearance. It leaves a scar in your heart and soul. Who is to tell what beauty is? Who is broadcasting the models of what we should consider as beautiful?

Take time and listen
My heart beats 184.108.40.206
For you and only you
Always in my mind
It?s my dream
I will not resign
I love the way you make me feel
I?d make a deal
With the lord himself
To conceal this feel
Keep it always with me
Never to lose touch
You?ll be in my thoughts till I die
Never to lose something I love so much.
Never to stop talking about what you do to me,
Always to let people know what kind of feeling is inside of me,
Warm sensation
Goosebumps appear
Tears in my eyes
I hope you never disappear
It?s a fear
You could call it a nightmare.
I?ll be thinking about you always
Right from the day we met
Until the day i die
I?ll never forget the day I saw?..
Today I want to open my blog with poem about true love as a beginning, as I was impresses and moved by a true story about true love completely and cried fully with tears. And also it makes me thing of the true story I saw online.
I saw a video about a young man attend the Daren Show to sing a song named Moon Wedding which he wrote for his fianc?e in July this summer, while a sad news came, his fianc?e study abroad in New Zealand, while on 22th, Feb, 2011, a horrible disaster?powerful earthquake appeared in New Zealand, and his fianc?e disappeared from that day!
He felt extremely sad, and cried from his heart and waiting for his fianc?e come back one day for their moon wedding in July, he sang the song with breaking heart and expecting his wife will be back to his mind again!
After he end his song, the host asked him: do you believe your fianc?e can come back for your wedding in July? He said: Yes, I believe she will be back!
This word moves my heart fully and I cried with heart, just wish his fianc?e can be back and enjoy the rest days with him!
True love is a pure feeling in the world indeed!

Time Zone Challenged
Lori sent this funny picture of Lucy and I after the quilt show. We'd taken her whole family to the swimming pool in Sun River and went swimming, and lounged around. (Oh get this, I didn't have a swim suit, so we ran into Ross and I bought one off the rack without trying it on. It looked fine, until I tried it on at the house, and the cleavage went WAY down. I wore a tank top over it..*LOL*)
So tell me why Lucy looks so gorgeous and refreshed and glamorous in her silk dress, and I look like road kill?
Here are a couple favorite photos from the show. This was about 8am and the sun was just coming in from the east. Look how the quilting detail shows up when the light is just right. Yummy textures! Lots and lots of baptist fans caught my eye. Just never get tired of them. EVER.
Isn't this the most WEIRD feathered star you've ever seen? I'd love to figure this block out. It's one of those things I'm in love with but will probably never do. Being a scrappy girl, I think I would die if I had to piece a whole quilt of just red and muslin. Seriously. Please don't make me, don't make me, I can't do it! But I love them. That and blue and white. Classic.
Today I have GOT to stop running around and clean house. Top to bottom. What day is it anyway..thursday? Sheesh..I leave tomorrow evening for Durham. I've got to get myself together!
8 comments:
I agree with mamaspark - you could do it scrappy either with scrappy creams or just scrappy lights for the background and scrappy darks for the stars. It is a pretty cool star and would be fun to figure out and make.
p.s. the road kill look could be the body language but that is just a guess! :)As soon as I saw the feathered star I thought "I have that quilt" but it's not the same as mine is a solid block but it is red and white so maybe red and white feathered blocks were popular back then?
Unfortunately mine has been used for anything and everything and is quite distressed. I just inherited it from my MIL when she down-sized to an apartment. Nobody wanted it but I thought of you and how you rescue old quilts so I took it.

This thread will be dedicated to showing the current stacks offered at NutraPlanet that are part of the PES Line. We have decided to give more focus on our stacks. The stacks may change from time to time, so this thread will be edited as the stacks change.
We are focusing more on stacks that dont just fit together, but also may offer some synergy. Below you will find each stack that is currently sold, and an explanation of why this stack works and the proper dosing.
We all know that Alpha-T2 is a targeted fat destroyer that not only burns fat all over, but also provides extra focus on the midsection, chest, lower back, and neck. We also know that Erase is an AI. AIs lower estrogen. When estrogen levels are high there is an increase in fat storage in a number of areas in the body, like the midsection and face.
By taking these two together, you are combining powerful fat burning mechanisms with mechanisms that are decreasing fat storage. This will promote a better overall fat loss, and an even further increase in fat loss of the midsection.
Also, Erase is a potent anti-catabolic product, so it makes for a great addition in any fat loss program to maintain precious muscle mass. Since this stack contains Erase, it should only be used by men.
Dosing Protocol:
2-3 caps of Erase per day, spread out, with or without food
1-2 Alpha-T2 on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before breakfast
1 Alpha-T2 on an empty stomach 6-8 hours later.
This stack is a solid combination for stimulant free fat loss or recomp. Shift is a potent thermogenic, and a non-stimulant fat burner. Combine this with the anti-catabolic effects of Erase, and Erase's ability to decrease fat storage, and you have yourself a very solid stimulant free stack for fat loss or lean bulk/recomp. Since Erase is in the stack, this stack is for men only.
Dosing Protocol:
2-3 caps of Erase per day, spread out, with or without food
1-2 caps of SHIFT in the morning before breakfast, and 1 capsule 6-8 hours later with or without food.
This is the 24/7 Fat Loss Stack! The goal with this stack is to allow the stimulants of OxyElite Pro to work during the day, and then the non-stimulant ingredient of Shift to do its job late in the day and all night!
Dosing Protocol:
2 OxyElite Pro in the morning, empty stomach
1 OxyElite Pro + 1 Shift 6-8 hours later, empty stomach
1-2 Shift at night with or without food
For men and women, this is the most potent two-product stack that can put together for extreme fat burning. However, it is not for everyone and should be taken with caution, with all users starting with smaller doses to assess their tolerance. OxyElite Pro contains ingredients that upregulate and increase the efficiency of the ingredients of ALPHA-T2, and vice versa for example, one of OxyElite Pros ingredients was shown to increase T4 levels by approximately 41%. This stacks PERFECTLY with the 3,3′-T2 in ALPHA-T2.
Adding caffeine and 1,3-dimethylamylamine to ALPHA-T2 upregulates ingredients of AT2. You will be able to attack fat loss in both visceral and subcutaneous fat stores! There have been a plethora of reviews on this stack, also known as The Get Up And Go Stack. No two fat burners combined on the market will give you better fat loss than these two stacked.
Dosing Protocol:
*Remember to start your doses very low and work your way up slowly. Do not exceed the dosing shown below
2 OxyElite Pro + 1 Alpha-T2 in the morning, 30 mins before breakfast on an empty stomach
2 Alpha-T2 + 1 OxyElite Pro on an empty stomach 6-8 hours later
This stack is pretty much the king of the crop. Please read the description above for the reason AT2 and OEP stack so well. Now combine that with the addition of an AI like Erase, which will decrease fat storage, and will also be anti-catabolic to help preserve precious muscle.
Dosing Protocol:
*Remember to start your doses very low and work your way up slowly. Do not exceed the dosing shown below
2 OxyElite Pro + 1 Alpha-T2 in the morning, 30 mins before breakfast on an empty stomach
2 Alpha-T2 + 1 OxyElite Pro on an empty stomach 6-8 hours later
2-3 Erase per day, spread out, with or without food
Both of the above stacks are Erase + a Testosterone Booster.
Stacking Erase with other testosterone boosters allows those testosterone boosters to work better than they would on their own, WITH all of the extremely natural anabolic properties of Erase to go along with it.
Since testosterone boosters are designed to increase testosterone, they then also can increase cortisol and estrogen. But you dont want that new increase in testosterone to be coupled by a hormone working against it, or converted to estrogen! By stacking testosterone boosters with Erase, that competition between muscle gain and muscle loss will be inhibited and you will get maximal muscle building benefits, and have more total testosterone remain in your bloodstream.
So now your test booster is even more effective. Along with that, Erase will also be exerting its own testosterone boosting and cortisol lowering properties!
Dosing Protocol:
Take 2-3 Erase per day, spread out, along with the suggested dose on the label of your testosterone booster
Straight and to the point with this one. Fat burner (Alpha-T2) + AI/Anti-Catabolic (Erase) + Test Booster (Titanium). Can you say RECOMP?
Dosing Protocol:
2-3 caps of Erase per day, spread out, with or without food
1-2 Alpha-T2 on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before breakfast
1 Alpha-T2 on an empty stomach 6-8 hours later
2 caps of Titanium per day, spread out
Erase + Cycle Support
I dont think I need to explain this one - Control the bloat, and support your organs on cycle. Follow the suggested dosing on both bottles.
Alpha-T2 + Jack3d
Turn your preworkout into a Fat Burning Preworkout! Since Jack3d contains powerful stimulants, and Alpha-T2 does not, they make for a PERFECT stack to give you an extremely thermogenic fat burning session in the gym.
Dosing Protocol:
On non-workout days, just take your normal dose of Alpha-T2
On workout days, take 1 Alpha-T2 upon waking on an empty stomach, and 1 capsule on an empty stomach 6-8 hours later. Also, take 1 capsule with your serving of Jack3d preworkout, no matter when your workout time is.
