Sharing is caring for DeAngelo Williams
Published: January 28th, 2010 | Tags: 2010 Pro Bowl, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — DeAngelo Williams is probably one of the most frustrating players to own in fantasy football (I know I went nuts this season), but it's through no fault of his own. Blame Jonathan Stewart.
Williams is the starter and is the star in Carolina, which is why he was voted to his first Pro Bowl this year. But Williams may never reach his full potential as long as he's teammates with Stewart.
I had a good conversation with Williams today about the two-back situation in Carolina, and he is absolutely comfortable with it. Fantasy football owners may not be, though.

Cellar Door – Make War, Not Love [Audio]
Calgary, AB – Calgary's recently formed Cellar Door duo just dropped a new track entitled "Make War, Not Love" off their forthcoming Cellar Door EP. The Cellar Door duo consists of Twizzie (of the ContraVerse crew) and vocalist Shelby Leiding. Their sound combines hip-hop and R&B with '50s classical influence, which results in a fresh cross-genre mashup. Shelby's vocals have this eerie haunting quality to them. And Twizzie (who's come up in the battle scene) never fails to deliver the punches.
The track was produced by Epik Da Dawn, and mix-mastered by Twizzie. And get this: the track's bridge uses lyrics from the song "Virgin Dirt" by the post-hardcore group, letlive., from California. So give "Make War, Not Love," a listen below. And keep it locked on the release of the Cellar Door EP. It's coming at you soon.

Peggy Noonan: Though His Victory Was Larger Than Either Of Bush's, Obama Must Heed Republican Voters' Wishes
Nooners, no doubt recovering from a massive three-day Tanqueray bender:
This is already a dramatic time—two wars, economic collapse—and people are rattled. "Moderation in all things." It should be noted here that the split in the popular vote was 53% to 46%. That is a solid seven-point win for the new president elect, but it also means more than 56 million voters went for John McCain in a year when all the stars were aligned against the Republicans…Mr. Obama has a significant portion of the nation to win over. He acknowledged this in his sterling victory speech, when he spoke of "those whose support I have yet to earn." He does have yet to earn it.
And here's Nooner in ecstacy over W's staggering 2-point win over John Kerry.
George W. Bush is the first president to win more than 50% [note: it was 50.7%] of the popular vote since 1988… The president received more than 59 million votes, breaking Ronald Reagan's old record of 54.5 million…It will be hard for the mainstream media to continue, in the face of these facts, the mantra that we are a deeply and completely divided country. But they'll try!
Nothing in there about how a razor-thin, 2-point, 1-state victory — the narrowest by an incumbent since 1916 — is a sign that Bush should "moderate." Nothing about a "split" of the popular vote. Nothing about the 59 million Americans (a record) who voted against Bush and the GOP's policies. They're simply absorbed in Nooner's Completely United States of Bush.
Anyway, Nooners — just for the hell of it, what do all those Republican voters want?
They want peace, progress in the economy and nothing socially extreme.
Uh-huh, that's why they voted for endless war, the awesome Bush economy, and Terry Schiavo/banning teh gays/repealing Roe.
C'mon, Nooners–bottom line this for us.
This was not 1980, with a landslide 10-point, 44-state win and the will of a clear majority firmly revealed.
It's so true. 53%-46% and 364-173 are virtual tossups. No clear majority at all! Who can be sure what the country really wants?
Better play it safe and govern like that nice moderate McCain-Palin administration would.

Sister of missing Catherine Gowing in emotional appeal
The sister of missing Irish woman Catherine Gowing broke down in tears at an emotional press conference appealing for anyone with any information to come forward, as police were granted more time to question a man arrested on suspicion of murder.
Emma Gowing described her 'beautiful sister', who was last seen at a supermarket in Queensferry, Flintshire, north Wales, on Friday night, as the 'light of my life'.
'Catherine is a kind, sensitive beautiful person. She's passionate about animals and utterly devoted to my family,' she said.
'If you have any information about Catherine, no matter how trivial you think it is, please contact the police.'
The veterinary practice where Catherine, 37, from Clonlee, Co Offaly, the Irish Republic, works has revealed she sent a text message from her phone after she was last seen alive.
Half a message was received by a nurse working with her at Evans Veterinary Practice in Mold on Saturday, two days before she was reported missing when she failed to turn up for work.
Earlier, magistrates granted North Wales police a further 36 hours to question a 46-year-old man from Gwynedd arrested on suspicion of murder.
'Although I am not in a position at this time to discuss in detail the exact nature of our inquiries, I can provide a brief summary of the activity we are conducting as part of this investigation,' said Detective Superintendent John Hanson.
'Coordinated searches continue at various locations in an attempt to find Catherine, her vehicle and personal items that appear to be missing from her home.'
DS Hanson added: 'A forensic examination continues at Catherine's home address and we continue to seize and view CCTV footage which may give us an indication as to her whereabouts.
'I would again like to emphasise the assistance the public can provide in helping us to find Catherine by looking for her plum/burgundy Renault Clio that has not been seen since Friday evening.'

Thyroid Diseases
Radioactive Iodine Treatment For Hyperthryoidism
I have had hyperthyroidism for 23 years. Over that time I have been treated quite successfully with Carbimazole for 19 years. However for the last 5 years it has been a problem to stabilize it and it would appear that the carbimazole are not as effective as they have been. My consultant for the last five years has been pushing me to have radioactive iodine treatment. I have fought against this as I feel that this may cause me another set of health problems.
He assures me that if I go down this road I will be fit and well - I am not so sure. I would also have a problem signing the consent form because I really don`t consent to it but feel that I am being pressured into it.
Is the radioactive iodine treatment really going to be problem free? Obiously I realize that there is a good chance of hypothyroidism. Why is this better on one`s body than hyperthyroidism?
Most people treated with radioactive iodine do fine. The radioactive iodine does make you hypothyroid, but then you start taking thyroid hormone pills. Your body doesn't care whether your thyroid hormone comes from your thyroid gland or a pill, just as long as you are getting the right amount.
If you have Graves' Disease, there is a suggestion in the medical literature that a few more people get eye disease (Graves' Ophthalmopathy) after radioactive iodine than with pills or surgery. This is still controversial, and I don't think you could say it has been absolutely proven. It has also been suggested that taking a drug called "prednisone" for 3 months after the radioactive iodine can help prevent this complication, though prednisone can have significant side effects.
I have had a few hypothyroid patients complain to me that they feel tired even though the blood tests say they are taking the right amount of thyroid hormone. On the other hand, I have lots and lots of patients with perfectly normal thyroids who also complain to me that they feel tired, so it's hard to know if the hypothyroidism and its treatment really have anything to do with it.
I don't think your endocrinologist means to pressure you to take radioactive iodine. Having wide fluctuations in your thyroid levels can cause you problems. If you spend significant amounts of time with thyroid levels that are too high it can make you feel bad and predispose you to developing abnormal heart rhythms and osteoporosis. If you spend significant amounts of time with thyroid levels that are too low it can also make you feel bad and can make your cholesterol level go up. There is no perfect solution to your situation. However, doctors have been treating thyroid conditions with radioactive iodine since the mid-1940's and our experience has overwhelmingly been that it is safe, effective, and free of side effects.

For a glimpse into the future of IT management, consider Irving H. "Bubba" Tyler. A few facts about him:
- He is a CPA who once worked for a Big Eight accounting firm.
- He was international controller at ICI PLC's aerospace and automotive division.
- He was a director of finance and a controller at Quaker Chemical.
- He is now the CIO of that company.
Having looked at life from both sides now, his views on finance-IT partnerships carry some weight. Like many CIOs, Tyler reports to his company's CFO. Unlike many CIOs, he doesn't seem to mind. "Someone has to assess my performance," he jokes, "but I sit on our global operations team and deal directly with almost two dozen business leaders. You need some kind of oversight, but you also need to work as peers, and we've struck that balance."
Certainly it must be music to the ears of his CFO when Tyler says, "I appreciate the importance of good fiscal controls; that's just part of my DNA." But Tyler says the true measure of an effective finance-IT partnership doesn't depend solely on IT being able to speak the language of finance; it also depends on "orchestration." As he says, "You may need the conductor to tap the baton occasionally to get people's attention, but the final result really hinges on all the musicians knowing their parts and executing them perfectly."
Orchestration depends on a number of other factors as well, as we explore in this issue's cover story (see "Stand by Me"). We couldn't help but be struck by how often key members of a company's IT staff have solid finance and/or operations experience. Sometimes it surpasses their IT experience, yet neither they nor their bosses seem concerned about that. In fact, while most CFOs seem intent on fostering greater financial savvy throughout the IT department, they are largely indifferent to the importance of IT literacy within the finance group. Does that create disharmony? Usually not. As Tyler suggests, someone has to call the tune.

Miranda Lambert, USA Weekend Interview: Songstress Talks Blake, Babies & Tattoos
Ever since Miranda Lambert walked down the aisle with Blake Shelton last May, they have been getting one question more than most: when are you going to have babies? Well, the songstress has an answer … kind of. The couple plan to wait for at least two more years before they even talk about the possibility of a little Blake (or Blakette), Jr.
"I'm still selfish and want to be with my husband," Miranda tells USA Weekend. "I don't want to give anything up. When I'm 30, we'll sit down and have a conversation."
In addition to having quality time with her spouse, the Texas native has quite a career bucket list to check off. "I want to win album of the year," she admits. "I'd love to write song of the year and the song in a movie, not just a random song on a soundtrack."
That latter comment could be directed at "The Hunger Games" film. Her song, "Run Daddy Run," which features her trio, the Pistol Annies, appeared on the soundtrack for the blockbuster, but was not heard in the theatrical release.
"I have a little Katniss in me," Miranda says, comparing herself to the story's heroine, who is thrust into a literal fight for her life. "I'm strong-willed, and I don't like the word 'no.' … I'd do all right in those games. I have survival skills."
Despite her tough-girl demeanor, Miranda admits to being rather "girly" as well. She cries, she likes pink and she was raised in a good "Christian home on a farm." So, while her songs about battered women are based on things she's heard rather than experienced, other lines are born from her life.
For instance, in "Heart Like Mine" when she sings, "Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo / Said he loved me anyway," she could be channeling the experience she had after inking her left forearm with two entwined revolvers and angel wings.
"I got it when I was 22 on tour with George Strait," the singer explains of her tattoo. "It's the first thing I ever did without asking my parents. My dad didn't speak to me for a week."
While Miranda is quite sure of who she is, she does realize that she's changed since becoming Mrs. Blake Shelton. "Marriage has changed me in a good way," she says. "I feel settled. I used to be a crazy girl with this rocking career. Now I'm a wife and have to make sure I take care of a husband. But I would never just stay home."
The pair have technically been married for just over a year, but Miranda says it's been more like "four months," because that's all the time they've really had together. And, she thinks the distance helps.
"We text a lot," Miranda explains. "Our marriage works because we have other stuff going on. I've learned that if you're someone's world or someone's your world, eventually it will explode."
Marriage itself isn't the only thing that has helped the 28-year-old grow, her husband — whose known for his humorous antics as a coach on NBC's "The Voice" — has made his mark as well.
"He's taught me to not take myself so seriously," she says. "I would never laugh, and I had no sense of humor. I had to work all the time. He made me have fun. … I've taught him how to really love. I don't think he ever did before our relationship."
Before tying the knot, the pair dated on and off for nearly six years, and not all of them were good. "Blake was married when I met him," Miranda recalls. "I went through his divorce with him, trying to be a shoulder. Breaking up, getting back together, spending two months apart – that's hard. I hope I don't ever have to have my heart broken bad again."

See What Lorde, Ed Sheeran + More Wore on the 2014 MuchMusic Awards Red Carpet [PHOTOS]
The 2014 MuchMusic Awards featured some of our favorite celebs rocking their best red carpet looks!
The 2014 MuchMusic Awards featured some of our favorite celebs rocking their best red carpet looks!
Lorde performs 'Tennis Court' and 'Team' at the 2014 MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Canada.
Iggy Azalea slams Lorde for joining singing with Nirvana at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
Happy weekend, PopCrushers! Start your Friday night off right with the latest installment of the PopCrush Mini-Mix, featuring remixed pop tracks from some of our favorite artists like Ed Sheeran, Lorde, Pharrell and more. Turn it up!
Lorde tells the BBC that she is already working on her second album and that it will sound "totally different."
If you weren't excited enough for summer, we have more one reason to get you pumped up. Lorde will be hitting the road later in 2014 for a North American tour!
Lorde, one of the night's biggest winners, unleashed the very first primetime performance of her new single 'Tennis Court' at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards tonight. The 17-year-old singer brought her signature arm movements -- and trademark vocals -- to the number, donning a wide-brimmed black hat and all-black ensemble (sans feathers) for the performance.
You don't want to mess with Lily Allen. In her bold new music video for 'Sheezus,' the title track off of her upcoming album, the outspoken British singer gets a little psychedelic and freely shouts out -- and even throws a little shade -- at her fellow female pop stars.

We weight him at home, he is gaining weight normally. A pound every month, he is a BFing champ. We aren't vaccinating, so we don't need those services. So unless I have a question or concern I need to bring to their attention, which I don't, for now at least. Am I missing something that they do, and we should really go?
I'm all for preventitive care and DS does have health insurance. We have only skipped the last check-up, the 4 month.
Thanks for your time and input
Hi there! Besides weight, height, vaxes, they do check for other things. If it were me in your shoes, I would definitely go to the 6 month and the year visits. No 9 month visit. Bring your records of weighing your baby and charting everything. Good for you for doing that! I think it's perfectly ok that you skipped the 4 month. My kids are older. We selectively/delayed vaxes. Since they aren't getting anymore vaccines, I skipped a few visits for them. DD skipped her 3-year and her 2, 4 and 5 year were a few months after her birthday. DS hasn't been to the doctor since 18 months and will be 3 in a few weeks. He is scheduled for a visit then. HTH!
I'm in a position where I don't have a choice and have to go to all appointments - however there is an upside to this and that is establishing a relationship with the doctor so that if you do have to go for illness down the road, the doctor knows your child and you can feel more comfortable.
If I did not have to go - I would probably skip the 9 month visit.
If the people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." Thomas Jefferson.

Pharmacy and Medications
Tricor for Improving HDL
My lipid profile is very normal S Cholestrol 115 Trigliceride 88 LDL 81 VLDL 21, but my HDL is only 28. I heard that Tricor Fenofibrate helps to increase HDL. I need your guidance.
Thank you for visiting NetWellness.
Cholesterol and triglycerides are essential substrates for cell membrane function and hormone development and they provide the body with a source of free fatty acids needed for the body to function properly. Hyperlipidemia is defined as an elevation of one or more of cholesterol, cholesterol esters, phospholipids, or triglycerides. There is a link between high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and low HDL (high density lipoproteins) to the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). The role of HDL is to transport cholesterol from the cells of the body to the liver. The desired level of HDL is for =50mg/dl. For every 1mg/dl decline of HDL, CHD risk increases by 2-3%. The other major risk factors that increase the risk outside of LDL cholesterol being too high are cigarette smoking, hypertension (BP 140/90 or on a hypertensive medication), Family history of premature CHD (CHD in male first degree relative <55 years; CHD in female first degree relative <65 years), and Age (men >45 years; women >55 years).
A low HDL is also a component of metabolic syndrome. The first steps in elevating a low HDL are diet and exercise. A diet that is low in carbohydrates and high in protein is encouraged and the inclusion of the cold water fish (e.g. salmon) rich in polyunsaturated fats may help to raise HDL cholesterol. A person that is obese may elevate HDL by decreasing body mass index. If you smoke or consume alcohol this may also decrease your HDL, cessation of these activities can raise your HDL.
If none of these efforts have success in raising your HDL, your prescriber may decide to use a medication to elevate the HDL. There are a few classes of medications in which HDL is slightly raised. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) and fibrates modestly raise HDL levels. Tricor® (fenofibrate) is a fibrate which acts as a lipid regulating agent. It can reduce LDL cholesterol, triglyceride, VLDL cholesterol, and has shown to increase HDL. Niacin is another medication that may be used to elevate HDL. Niacin is the most effective agent that is available to elevate HDL.
On this site, we try to answer general questions about cholesterol and health but cannot diagnose or recommend treatment. You appear to have some very, very specific questions about your HDL and your ability to elevate this value, which can only be answered properly by a physician who is familiar with your medical history, physical exam, and test results. Your questions about the testing results you have been given or the risks, benefits, and alternatives for proposed treatments of this condition need to be directed to your treating physician(s). You should insist that they answer these questions in a way that you are able to understand before consenting to any treatment.

A newly discovered asteroid the size of a house will buzz Earth this weekend.
At closest approach Sunday, the 60-foot rock will pass a safe 25,000 miles over New Zealand. That's about one-tenth the distance between here and the moon. It's also beyond the orbit of our highest communication and weather satellites.
NASA says this latest near-Earth asteroid - called 20214 RC (R-C) - poses no threat to either our planet or orbiting spacecraft.
Astronomers in Arizona first detected 2014 RC the night of Aug. 31. Stargazers will need telescopes to see Sunday's flyby.
The asteroid is about the same size as the one that blasted through the atmosphere over Russia's Ural Mountains in 2013, causing considerable damage. That space rock -- estimated to weigh about 10 tons -- entered the Earth's atmosphere at a hypersonic speed of at least 33,000 miles per hour and shattered into pieces about 18 to 32 miles above the ground, the Russian Academy of Sciences said in a statement at the time.
However, in this case, astronomers say the asteroid is not on track to strike Earth. NASA says its orbit will bring the asteroid back into our neighborhood in the future, so its path will be closely monitored.

Choosing the perfect holiday read
There's an art to choosing the perfect holiday read. It has to be something big, so you don't have to make too many decisions about what to start on after you've finished it, but it can't be too grim or it won't match the tone.
One year, my family had our holiday on Fiji blighted by a grippingly detailed book about London's black plague. After my mother found it at a bar, she declared it the most macabre thing she'd ever read and gave it to my father, who devoured it with glee. I picked it up after he was finished with it, and then we all lay in hammocks on the beach and talked about buboes, sewers and infectious rat-fleas while the tropical birds sang and the heat shimmered off the sand. It was... inappropriate.
This website has provided some great tips on summer reading for the slightly obsessive-compulsive. It matches classic books with bikinis, so your book can blend in when you place it face-down across your chest for a sleep in the sun. As you can see, it's encouraging my ongoing David Foster Wallace phase, but it also features highly appropriate beach-reading fare like Yann Martel's Life of Pi, Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls.
Incidentally, did you know Dale Carnegie of How to Win Friends and Influence People had a wife? She refers to herself as Mrs Dale Carnegie on the cover of her book, How to Help Your Husband Get Ahead. The bikini suggested to match her book is called the "Lady Lace," and you bet it's about as subtle as a quadruple gin and tonic.
Crime and Punishment has been matched with a bikini that the average girl would probably need two close friends and a crochet-hook to get into, reflecting its labyrinthine plot. The holidays are a good time to get into a book that's heavy and complicated like this, just because you have a bit more mind-space available than normal. Most of my battle with the Lord of the Rings series took place on beaches around Northland- I alternated it with Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh, which, on reflection, might have been a bad idea.
Jared Diamond's Collapse: How Societies Choose to Succeed or Fail, the BBC's satisfyingly chunky A History of the World in 100 Objects and political tomes like the new Nicky Hagar are also good things to fight on the beaches. These are ok in a way that the plague book was not because they don't draw you into their world in the same way that fiction does. I can identify with the people of Diamond's dying civilisations, but it's not going to make me forget how comfortable my present situation is.
Fashion books are another kind of escapism altogether. Vogue creative director Grace Coddington has published a memoir, Grace, which fits the bill really well without being fluffy. She's refreshingly no-nonsense for somebody who's had such a glitteringly fabulous life, and her voice is appealingly straightforward.
Better known as the Sartorialist, fashion photographer Scott Schuman has released a second collection of gorgeous street fashion images from around the world. Schuman's website is really worth a look for anybody interested in clothes, photography, travel or even just the diversity of human faces- he updates it several times each day, and he has a great eye for interesting subjects. The new book Closer is also a fluff-free zone, and reads like a condensed version of the most egalitarian fashion magazine you've ever seen.
Happy holidays from Baby Seal to all you bookworms, and commiserations if you're one of the unlucky souls who bought their Christmas presents through Book Depository this year! It's a good thing books don't take much time to wrap…

I've just had a request from my colleague asking for a cake for one of our company directors, only catch is, he's diabetic. There only seems to be one recipe here (that I can find, at least) and it doesn't have fantastic reviews, so I'm loathe to use it :/ I'd quite like to make a velvet cake (a bit like this http://www.cooksrecipes.com/diabetic/lemon_velvet_cake_recipe.html ) but I always worry when trying recipes that don't come recommended.
Is it just a case of replacing the sugar with a sugar substitute? Should I use a different type of flour, or would a regular all-purpose be fine? My knowledge of diabetics is horribly minimal, so I apologies if I'm asking stupid questions.
My son is diabetic and he just takes insulin to cover the carbs in cake.
Carbs are what diabetics have to limit or take insulin for, depending on wht type
Of diabetes they have and if they are on insulin. There are carbs in the
sugar and the flour. High fat food also raises blood sugar.
A cheesecake is better for a diabetic than regular cake. That eliminates the flour and the sugar can be Splenda or some other fewer-carbs sweetener.
I had gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy and the bakery told us no way. My diabetes was regulated with medication (not insulin) and diet, so the party coordinator made everything low carb except the cake. My doctor told me to eat the cake (no more than a 2"x2" slice) and then check my sugar and handle it accordingly like any other meal.
If the party is not a surprise, the people doing it could ask him if it has to be a diabetic cake. How do you even make icing without sugar?
My neighbor is diabetic so I called my hospitals dietician and asked her about diabetics and cakes. She told me that the cake is ok for a diabetic that it's the frosting that they have trouble with. I asked her about Frosting Pride and she had me read the ingredients to her over the phone and she said it would be fine. For a filling I take two cups whipping cream and one small box of sugar free instant vanilla pudding and whip until peaks form. I either use Frostin Pride or My mousse frosting recipe and sub sugar free Cool Whip and sugar free pudding. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/whipped-cream-mousse-frosting/detail.aspx

Williams chief operations engineer Mark Gillan looks back at the F1 2011 finale in Brazil.

Rubens Barrichello was the only Williams driver to see the chequered flag in Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix, the final round in the F1 2011 World Championship. He came home in 14th position after a tenacious drive in front of his home crowd. Pastor Maldonado meanwhile spun out of the race in the sister car while on a charge through the field. Here Williams chief operations engineer Mark Gillan looks back on the event...
Mark, how would you sum up the pace of the FW33 at Interlagos?
Mark Gillan:
Overall the base pace of the FW33 at Interlagos was similar to that of the past few races, being effectively the eighth quickest team.
Rubens qualified 12th, just 0.3 seconds shy of a slot in Q3. How good was his performance?
Mark Gillan:
It is fair to say that Rubens extracted close to the maximum ultimate performance out of the car on that lap - it was an impressive time and gave the team a welcome lift.
How did Pirelli's soft and medium compounds perform, and what was the lap time difference between each?
Mark Gillan:
The single laptime difference between the medium and soft compounds was about one second in favour of the soft tyre and about 0.5 seconds during a longer run. During the race, tyre life was lower than expected and we ended up having to switch from our planned two-stop strategy, to a revised three-stop strategy.
Rain was forecast for Sunday, but it never materialised. How did that impact on the drivers' races?
Mark Gillan:
The long, medium and short term forecasts for the race all consistently predicted an 80% plus chance of rain during the race. Throughout the race the weather radar highlighted that the rain was closing into the circuit but it never actually materialised. Both cars had a few minor modifications to the race set-up, which were biased towards better driveability should we have had a wet race.
Pastor spun out on lap 26. Had he been struggling with the car prior to that moment?
Mark Gillan:
Pastor had been held up for seven laps by Bruno Senna, whom had been struggling with a damaged front wing. Pastor managed to pass Senna on lap 26 and then pushed very hard to recover some lost ground. Unfortunately he ran wide at Turn 7, spinning off, having lost the car under braking.
The 2011 season is now finished. How would you sum up the season for AT&T Williams?
Mark Gillan:
2011 has been a difficult, character building season for the team. With the new technical management team in place since September, it has been critically important that we learnt as much as we could in the closing stages of the season about the inherent design, build and performance deficiencies of the FW33 to ensure that the FW34 is a much better car come the start of the 2012 season.
How is work progressing on next year's FW34?
Mark Gillan:
Work is progressing well on the FW34 and we continue to meet both our key performance, development and production targets. As a team we have a massive task ahead of us but everyone is absolutely resolute that we do not have another season like 2011 and we all look forward to better times ahead. Of course, the proof of how well we do is simply measured on our final Constructors' position and the number of championship points that we have come this time next year!

For example, when Bell Atlantic merged with GTE and Airtouch, opponents warned the deal would "create an economic Frankenstein, an unregulated monopoly that will do nothing to improve the quality of life..." Four years later, we were cautioned, the AT&T Wireless-Bell South combination to form Cingular "spells bad news for consumers, who ultimately can expect higher prices and diminished service." When Sprint ( S) merged with Nextel, doomsayers declared that it "likely spells an end to the lower prices and innovative services consumers have received from cell phone companies." We heard more of the same when Verizon ( T) merged with Alltel on June 5, 2008. Each dire warning has been dead wrong. Throughout this decade of wireless consolidation, consumer prices have fallen and services expanded. According to the 2010 U.S. GAO report, wireless prices declined 50% from 1999 to 2009. From the first quarter of 2005 to the last quarter of 2010, even though the average American sent 703 more text messages, prices fell 84%. Similarly, between the third quarter of 2008 and the fourth quarter of 2010, the effective price per megabyte declined approximately 89%. Mobile broadband markets are incredibly competitive: according to the FCC, 90%of all Americans can choose from five or more mobile carriers in 2010, up from 76% one year prior. The fact is that wireless industry consolidation has been and remains healthy for consumers and essential for those who build upon the dynamic wireless platform; it has enabled critical investment in infrastructure, innovations in business models and great leaps forward in wireless architecture. The market is working...government just needs to stay out of the way. In this case, the proposed merger will enable AT&T to serve more than 55 million new customers with much higher speed services, upgrading its networks to handle exploding traffic while creating thousands of new jobs here at home. It offers a win-win for consumers and the economy, gaining the support from voices as diverse as the Communications Workers of America, Facebook, Qualcomm, RIM, TechNet, the Wall Street Journal, Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital and 27 state Governors from around the country. The question is whether D.C. denizens understand innovation and job creation better than these innovators and local leaders. As we look to refuel the American job engine, policy matters. Policy makers should first do no harm. Opposing the combination of AT&T and T-Mobile will do significant harm to mobile broadband investment, rollout and employment. This is a chance for all of these to support efforts to grow the economy -- and we should move ahead to see them realized as quickly as possible. Bruce Mehlman is co-chairman of the Internet Innovation Alliance and served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Technology Policy from 2001-2003.

The year 2009 for Indian Cinema concludes with the troubled Bollywood taking cues from the latest blockbuster '3 Idiots' and humming "All is well" as advertising on the medium dipped to a dismal low.
"The year 2009 was not a good one for the Bollywood as the industry produced mostly low-quality films which struggled to recover even their production cost," says renowned film critic Rajeev Masand.
Though a couple of hits in the form of '3 Idiots' and 'Paa' towards the fag end of the year did bring a sigh of relief to the industry, the audience, throughout the year, kept rejecting the big starrer and heavy budget movies one by one, hence making the advertising market on the medium too fare badly. The same reflects in the Pitch-Madison Media Advertising Outlook 2010 as well.
The ad-spend on the medium registered a negative growth of 20.15 per cent and dipped to a level lower than that of the year 2007 when it garnered a handsome Rs 104.5 crore. Even as the economy was on the recovery path, advertisers exhibited low confidence in cinema advertising.
The medium continued to hold its ad pie share of 0.6 per cent vis-à-vis year 2008, but the total ad revenue on cinema shrunk by Rs 26 crore, as it could garner only Rs 103 crore against a projected Rs 116 crore
in the mid-term review of our Pitch-Madison Media Advertising Outlook 2009.
"This was a bad year for the industry. The production cost increased but the low in the market continued for the first three quarters of the year," says Ramesh Taurani, film producer and owner of production house, Tips.
Though FMCG remained one of the top advertising categories on the different mediums overall, its spend on cinema remained low. Also, hard negotiations during slowdown drove down rates and hence revenues.
"The economic slowdown made advertisers focus on the more visible mediums like print and TV," says Bobby Pawar, Chief Creative Officer, Mudra Group.
"In-film advertising was also hit as overall budgets for cinema advertising came down. Advertisers did not find the medium too useful," he adds.
Also, the two month-long conflict between film producers and multiplex owners in mid-2009, only added to the worries of the tinsel town, which was grappling to find a way to come out of the shadow
of slowdown.
A lackluster year
While movies like Kaminey, Love Aaj Kal, New York, Wanted, Wake up Sid, Ajab Prem ki Gajab Kahani, Luck By Chance, Dev D and Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year, did manage to do average business, most of the films with big stars and from renowned banners failed to attract the audiences to the theatres.
The industry players cite lack of appealing themes as one of the major reason for the overall bad performance.
Devang Sampat, Senior Vice-President, Cinemax, says, "The audiences have become more quality conscious. So, the content part is becoming more important and the production houses and the producers can no longer afford to play with the audience with a repeat story."
Film producer-director, K C Bokadia has a similar observation, "There were very few sensible films. Good music, which is the very basic to lure the Indian audience to the theatres, was rare during the year."
However, Gautam Dutta, Chief Executive Officer, Cinemedia, PVR Cinemas, disagrees. He feels it was lack of proper marketing strategy on the part of film makers that made majority of films bite the dust. "We have had variety of films in the year gone by. Some of the films could not do well, as the film makers failed to adopt a proper marketing strategy."
Evolving ad trends
Though the low market sentiment hit ad revenue growth of almost all the mediums, new trends in advertising, promotion and marketing evolved in the year 2009. The distributors spent heavily on the innovative ways of marketing.
"The content is always an important thing. But it does not always script success for a film. Though, the content part has evolved a lot over the years, the trends in marketing and promotions and the advertisement have witnessed a sea-change over the couple of years. The entire process of post production has been revolutionised." says Dutta.
The trend is emerging to customise the marketing and advertising strategies, treating each film as a separate brand. "Advertisers are very particular about the kind of perception that needs to be created in the minds of the audience and who exactly, is the target audience. They are accordingly using the mediums to touch the consumers' sentiment in the most cosy hours and hence generating their interest in the product in a subtle way," adds Dutta.

Consumers are rejoicing, but retailers of products such as flat screen TVs are bracing for perhaps their toughest year yet. The strong Australian dollar has exacerbated intense competition between suppliers and sent retail prices plunging 30 per cent.
"The GFC was bullshit – this is a lot worse now for people in this particular space," Mr Harvey told The Australian Financial Review.
"All retailers selling AV products have a huge problem at the moment because we're selling them for so much less than we were before," Mr Harvey said.
"You now have to sell twice as much as you did two years ago to get the same dollars, so it's impossible," he said. "[2011 is] going to be worse [than 2010] there's no doubt about it, the way things are going in that product category."
Mr Smart said JB Hi-Fi was trying to minimise the impact of price deflation by taking advantage of higher volumes to sell more add-ons.
However, Mr Smart agreed volumes were not rising strongly enough to counter falling prices.
"There's no question the quantum of the price deflation makes it harder to make the difference up in volume," he said. "Whilst we've seen some great volume growth it no doubt gets harder."
Analysts were expecting cautious outlook comments at JB Hi-Fi's annual meeting this morning and at Harvey Norman's next month.
Broker RBS, which this week downgraded earnings forecasts for both JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman, believed AV prices could fall as much as 30 per cent this year, driven by excess production by Asian-based manufacturers.
And in a recent note, Macquarie Equities said prices for flat panel TVs, the single largest category in the AV sector, fell about 35 per cent in recent months but volumes had risen only 20 per cent.
"Flat panel price deflation remains the most significant challenge," said Macquarie Equities analyst Rob Blythe.
"Prices are dropping significantly, August and September were bad months," agreed Mr Harvey.
Plasma televisions that fetched $5000 four years ago and $2500 two years ago had fallen to $1250 about 12 months ago and were now selling for between $799 and $999. Mr Harvey said they could fall further.
JB Hi-Fi's Mr Smart said "there's no doubt that we've seen in the last six months an increase in price deflation specially on panels and we've been seeing that long before the rise of the Australian dollar to its record levels".
Prices were also falling in categories such as whitegoods and computers because of oversupply and the stronger Australian dollar.
New products in the gaming, information technology and telco sectors would help stimulate consumer demand this year. But margins on top-selling products such as Apple iPads and iPods were thin and retailers were forced to make up ground on sales of accessories such as cases and attachments, which were less price competitive.
Mr Harvey believed some smaller retailers may not survive the next 12 months.
But Kay Spencer, the chief executive of The National Associated Retail Traders of Australia, a consumer electronics buying group, which counts JB Hi-Fi, Bing Lee and David Jones as members, said price deflation would affect some retailers and categories more than others. "Without question there's going to be deflation within the marketplace. How much that is, no one can really put a figure on," she said.
She said while prices for flat panel TVs fell in the past 12 months, unit sales had risen.
"The retailers who understand the market and plan accordingly and have the right models in stock at the right time will be ones who lead," she said. "It is a difficult market and it's requiring different retail skills to be developed. If you have capacity to sell add-ons such as Blu-ray players you start to get the dollar value of your sales up."

The new dorm will be named in honor of Keith, a WVSU alumnus who serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals. The Judge Damon J. Keith Scholars Hall will be the first new dorm to be built at State since 1969. Chris Dorst Judge Keith holds WVSU President Brian Hemphill's son, Cruz, during the ceremony. Chris Dorst Gore and Prillerman halls will be demolished to make way for a new 291-bed, suite-style housing facility on West Virginia State University's campus. INSTITUTE, W.Va. -- Judge Damon Keith cried as he recalled the first time he stepped onto West Virginia State University's campus in 1939.It was the first time he had a black teacher. He was the first of his family to go to college. And in the midst of the Great Depression, he worked his way through school and then went on to become a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals, heading landmark decisions.Keith stood on State's campus Friday afternoon and pointed to Prillerman Hall, where he once lived in dorm room 314C. He still remembers the room number.Now, that building is being demolished to construct a new 291-bed, suite-style residence hall that will bear his name. The Judge Damon J. Keith Scholars Hall will be the first new dormitory built on State's campus in 44 years.Keith joined WVSU President Brian Hemphill, Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper, the school's Board of Governors and other officials Friday afternoon for a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the new residence hall, which is slated to be open for students next fall.Keith is the recipient of the Springarn Medal -- the NAACP's highest honor. Fellow recipients include the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Colin Powell.One of his rulings, commonly referred to as "The Keith Decision," prohibited President Richard Nixon and the federal government from engaging in warrantless wiretapping."West Virginia State shaped my entire future. It's like the cataracts in my eyes were taken off. I felt motivated," Keith said. "Thank you for all you've done for me and for those yet to come."On Friday, Keith also announced that he will contribute $50,000 to the university for scholarships. Friday's event also served as a kickoff for Hemphill's inauguration ceremony Saturday, marking his first year as State's president.The ceremony takes place at 9 a.m. in the P. Ahmed Williams Auditorium in Ferrell Hall.In addition to making the long-desired new residence hall a reality, Hemphill has dedicated his one-year stint as president to attracting more students to the once all-black university.Enrollment of first-time freshman at WVSU has increased by nearly 50 percent since this time last year."When I became president one year ago, I knew that there were many opportunities before us," Hemphill said Friday. "Specifically, I knew we needed to create a solid foundation for our future with innovative thinking and a significant investment in recruitment and retention."Hemphill called the new residence hall -- which will include a café and a game room -- "a home for future generations of yellow . . . a symbol of growth and prosperity for this university. "We needed to provide a living and learning environment that would foster student learning and engagement," he said.A biography of Judge Keith, titled "Crusader for Justice," is expected to be released this fall.Also on Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded WVSU more than $500,000 to fund a research and development project focused on expanding online biology and agriculture courses.Reach Mackenzie Mays at email@example.com or 304-348-4814.

The Hoosiers (6-0) rolled to a 101-53 victory Sunday night, ensuring there would be no let down for Tuesday night's Big Ten/ACC Challenge showdown with No. 9 North Carolina (5-1).
Will Sheehey came off the bench to score a season-high 19 points. Jordan Hulls had 17, Cody Zeller had 15, Victor Oladipo had 1 and Christian Watford had 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Ball State (2-2) was led by forward Majok Majok's 18 points .
IU had its typical slow start. It led just 10-8 after six minutes. Sheehey provided an off-the-bench spark with five straight points as the Hoosiers pushed ahead 21-10.
And then the Hoosiers really took charge. Maurice Creek and Hulls didn't miss a shot. Sheehey missed one. When the half was over, IU led 50-19, shooting 64.7 percent from the field to Ball State's 20.0.
IU didn't let up in the second half and cruised to its biggest scoring output of the season. As a reward for breaking 100 points, the first 100 fans who brought a valid game ticket to Qdoba in Bloomington got free food.

text: Disciplinary agency wants Mingo prosecutor Sparks suspended By Dave Boucher September 20, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A state agency wants the state Supreme Court to suspend Mingo County Prosecutor Michael Sparks' law license following new allegations included in federal court documents.A petition filed Thursday by The Office of Disciplinary Counsel asks the license be suspended until it can complete its investigation of the matter."(Sparks), the elected, chief law enforcement officer in the county, has engaged in a continued pattern of egregious misconduct under the color of his position," the petition states.The Supreme Court met Thursday to talk about the petition and is expected to release an order today, according to a news release.The petition references a federal indictment and information - similar to an indictment - alleging a slew of misconduct by Mingo Circuit Judge Michael Thornsbury.The indictment alleges Thornsbury corrupted the legal system in repeated attempts to frame the husband of his exlover. The information states Thornsbury worked with several elected officials on a scheme to prevent a man from telling the FBI about drug activity by the late Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum.In both the indictment and information, federal investigators allege Sparks either knew or participated in wrongdoing.The indictment, filed in late August, states Sparks knew allegations against Robert Woodruff - the husband Thornsbury allegedly attempted to frame - were improper.The allegations against Sparks are much more severe in the information, filed Thursday in federal court. It claims Sparks arranged for a lighter sentence for a man named George White after White hired a new attorney favored by Thornsbury and Sparks. White's first attorney, Charles "Butch" West, ran against Sparks and lost in the 2012 primary election. After the first indictment was filed, West called for Sparks to resign."There is sufficient evidence to establish that (Sparks) has violated the Rules of Professional Conduct; that (Sparks) is a substantial threat of irreparable harm; he is unable and/or unwilling to represent and protect the interests of the citizens of Mingo County, West Virginia; and there is good cause shown to immediately suspend his law license . . ." the petition states.Sparks did not answer several calls from the Daily Mail.He vehemently defended himself in an interview Thursday with the Williamson Daily News. "I fully expected Judge Thornsbury to engage in dishonest measures and to make false allegations against me, to exact vengeance against me in retaliation for my cooperation with his federal investigation," Sparks said, according to the Daily News."With that being said, I pray that the U.S. Attorney's office will realize that . . . Thornsbury has every reason in the world to try to bury me." Sparks took to social media Thursday to continue professing his innocence. He posted on his Facebook page that he was shocked at the "unfounded accusations" and denied the allegations."Thornsbury is a sinister, vindictive womanizer that abused the powers of his judgeship in multiple attempts to falsely incriminate a romantic rival," Sparks wrote. "There is evidence that Thornsbury has engaged in other criminal and unethical activity. I expected to be a target of false information and vengeance since I substantially assisted the federal investigation of Thornsbury.""Although I have not been charged with any crime, I look forward to aggressively defending my integrity and refuting these unfounded accusations," he wrote.He told the newspaper White pleaded guilty to two felony charges, agreed to a $10,000 fine and went to prison. The plea deal was offered to him in January, Sparks said.Sparks, alluding to the indictment against Thornsbury, accused the judge of lying to investigators about the prosecutor's involvement."It's apparent that I am going to be the next (Robert Woodruff) on his hit list of who he plans to lie on and frame for something that they did not do. I am clearly the target that he has in the sights of his gun," Sparks told the Daily News. The Office of Disciplinary Counsel began its investigation after the indictment. On Wednesday, Sparks confirmed the investigation was ongoing. He said he'd recently received a letter from the office asking him to send them a response to details in the indictment."We have not concluded at this time you have engaged in any wrongful conduct but we are concerned about the circumstances surrounding the matter," Sparks said Wednesday, reading from the letter.Sparks also announced Wednesday he had asked to be disqualified as the prosecutor in the case against Tennis Melvin Maynard, the man accused of murdering Crum. Thursday Sparks said some of the information included in the federal information led him to decide he could not adequately serve as the prosecutor in that case.Lonnie Simmons is representing Sparks regarding the investigation by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel. Simmons is a longtime attorney who works for Charleston law firm DiTrapano Barrett DiPiero McGinley & Simmons.Simmons said Sparks plans to file a response to the allegations soon, and said the response would speak for itself.

A strategy to assist management in workforce engagement and employee retention in the high tech engineering environment
Many companies use survey methods in an attempt to gauge employees' attitudes and opinions toward the company. These attitudes and opinions are directly related to an employee's engagement within the company. In many instances, employees wait in vain for the survey response and the subsequent employer actions, but the truth is sometimes management does not know what to do with the results. For this reason, we theorize that this type of survey, typically utilizing the Likert-scale, is not adequately assisting management in addressing employee engagement and retention issues. For instance, in many occasions, once the survey results are tabulated, companies are doing little or nothing to address the issues. In fact, far too many companies make the mistake of conducting employee engagement surveys, and then ignore the answers. Thus, we propose that a company should take advantage of the survey results, and utilize them to provide data to bridge employees' needs and goals with stakeholders' responsibilities and goals by refining and incorporating them into a hierarchical decision model (HDM). Thus, this would essentially be utilizing the quantitative data to determine what to measure qualitatively. We use a case from the high tech industry, specifically focusing on the engineering environment. Engineering environments are known to be more creative and such approaches would be more beneficial.

I really don't want to be yet one more voice railing against New Jersey's pedestrian law, but ...
I don't object to the law in theory. When it works, when pedestrians carefully step into a crosswalk and sensibly wait to see if the cars will stop and let them pass, as the law requires drivers to do ... and when the cars actually do stop ... it's all kind of nice. The pedestrian gives a little wave, the motorist nods, and everyone had a nice little social interchange.
But this is Joisey — and that's not how it works in practice.
Here, pedestrians too often have chips on their shoulders and step arrogantly and boldly and foolishly into the crosswalks, virtually daring drivers to stop. And too many motorists, also with their Joisey chips on their shoulders, refuse to even consider stopping — and usually curse at the pedestrian as they drive by. Or wave with their middle fingers.
But the worst ... the most insane ... are the pedestrians pushing baby carriages who stick the carriage — with the kid inside — right out into traffic because, after all, the cars are supposed to stop.
Are you people nuts?
Whatever you do, no matter how strongly you feel about "pedestrian rights," put your own damn lives on the line, not your children's: Don't lead with the kids!
Got it?

iForce Nutrition Conquer Reviews
Adrenaline For Insane Energy!*Add to Cart
The only PWO you will ever need. I usually stay clear from PWO's that contain stimulants but this one contains the perfect amount and there are no undesirable effects. Others say you can stack this for more of a boost but I don't really think there's a need although it does stack well with ANS Dilate. The fruit punch flavour is amazing and it gets a 10/10 from me. The pump and the energy is spot on. It is great value for money and contains 60 servings and even contains creatine. I currently doing a PPL programme and my pull workouts are immense after taking this. Many thanks Iforce for such a great product!
Jan 12, 2015
I had yet to find a pw product since all of the 1,3 products had been pulled that gave me intense focus and smooth energy until now. I had tried C4, No-Xplode 2.0, No Bull and numerous other samples of pwo's and all they gave me was jittereness and headaches. This product however gave me a big kick in both energy and focus, along with massive pumps. Another plus was that it does not give me a crash like other highly caffeinated pwo's. Other iforce products I have tried (Reversitol, Maximize Intense, Tribulus and Maximize V2) have all been great products. Highly recommended.
Dec 9, 2013
I used to take maximize intense and switched to another product. Conquer came out I had to give it a try. Based off of 1 1/2 scoops. I don't like to rate taste because people who do ain't old school when everything tasted like ****. But for all of you that require taste it gets a 9/10. It mixed very well,no issues whatsoever,so that gets a 10/10. Energy/endurance/focus,they all was there,not to much,to me it was just right. I felt like I was on cloud 9 even 2 hours after I blasted through my workout so that gets a easy 9/10. Now the pump LOL. I really can't judge it off of conquer since I also take hemavol,agmatine sulfate and potassium nitrate. I would rate my pump 20/10 LOL,pumps are sick for me.
Aug 19, 2013
Solid pre-workout! I would definitely recommend giving it a try. pumps were solid. the energy was a clean energy that just made you feel focused and not jittery. The flavor was pretty good for a pre-workout. Stack it with Hemavol for amazing pumps in the gym!
Aug 15, 2013
I started with c4 extreme, it is a great product. I bought and instantly regretted Muscletechs pre-workout, it kills your stomach and taste like sugar ladden artificial sweetener(I am actually a fan of their products just not their pre-workout) and I had been having good luck with Hemavol by I-Force so i thought id try Conquer. Well it has become my go to pre-workout. Im not a fruit punch guy but it taste good mixes easily and you get more than the 60 servings the jar says it contains. The reason I prefer this to C4 is to me the power rush is more streamlined yet stronger at the same time. I dont tank after an hour and Im not instantly cracked out but Im ready to move some heavy a$$ weight at the same time. It contains synephrine which to me was a plus because I'll take any fatburning help i can get. Im in the gym at least 6 days a week and run 4 miles EOD, I am 6'3" 245lbs and I have not upped my initial dose (1 scoop) and still get the same power after 1 1/2 jars of it. Cost to serving to power this is very difficult to beat in my opinion. Good luck in your fitness journey.
Aug 12, 2013
Great focus endurance and intensity. wonderful stacked with Hemavol.
Aug 4, 2013
I have taken lots of different pre-workout supplements. Nano-Vapor both the old and the new formulation, N.O. X-Plode the old forumulation, C4 Extreme, and Invincible. I have also taken other I-Force Nutrition products in the past, Hemavol and Compete. I bought this product expecting the same results as other I-Force products which were great results. However, this product is very weak, I need to take at least two scoops to feel much of anything during my workout. I've seen other reviews stating to mix it with Hemavol, which may work. However the product alone is not a very good pre-workout supplement.
Aug 1, 2013
This was suppose to replace I forces COMPETE . Wow what a disappointment . Taste just like cough syrup ,you'll need to take at least 2 scoops for any real effect. It will give you that tunnel vision effect if that's what your after I admit. I still use their HEMAVOL as one part of my stack If your gonna try something new give RSP fast fuel a try it will have that same taste but **** this stuff works.
Jul 12, 2013
snakeplisken83 did not leave a written review for this product.
Jul 11, 2013
The preworkout got me focused and gave me more endurance. However, that was all it did. There were no extra pumps, or extra strength.. The taste is hyped, it tastes like cough medicine which is disgusting imo.
Jul 7, 2013
This preworkout was good at first. I took it for maybe 5 days in a row before things went downhill. I started having chest pains and headaches immediately after use. I thought my water intake was too low so I increased it and gave it one more chance. I had the worst headache I have ever had in my entire life after my workout. Water did not matter. For some i'm sure it is great, but for me, well, I will never use this again. This preworkout has scared me off from stimulants.
Jul 1, 2013
Taste is great for pre-workout. Great for focus and energy.
Jun 28, 2013
This was one of the BEST pre-workouts I have ever used. I used 2 scoops about 40 minutes before my first working set and after about 20 minutes, you could definitely feel this stuff kick in. The energy lasted me all day long and I never had any mid-workout or post-workout crashes. Great pumps, increased stamina, and slight gains in the weights I was able to use while going through a container of this supplement. Highly recommended!!
Jun 25, 2013
Everything is there. Focus, power, endurance yet the taste is so hyped. Have no idea how people give 10/10 for taste. Taste is pretty yucky, well the preworkout is great but I wish people don't get misleading info and know that it will have a really really bad acacia taste.
Jun 17, 2013
No cracked out feeling, no distracting tingles, just razor sharp focus to go with some solid energy levels and pumps. Taste is consistent with other iForce products (and is really good!), making it great for mixing with Hemavol especially.
Jun 8, 2013
I really enjoyed this product. Brand new from Iforce.. Mental focus from the Acaia + the pumps from Agmatine make for one solid PWO..Drink water w/ this. I noticed a work up a little sweat if I take this even w/o lifting..
Jun 2, 2013
Quality Product, tried them all so far Wflood, Assault, Juggernaut, Craze(Utter Garbage) Etc. This one has clean energy and stacks well with Hemavol
