Easy as Pie Layer Cake Quilt
Hi! My name is Sherri, and I blog over at A Quilting Life! I'm happy to be here today to share a fast and fun Layer Cake Quilt! What I love about this quilt is that there is absolutely no fabric waste, the quilt goes together quickly, and it's the perfect classic pattern to showcase the fabrics you love!
1 Moda Layer Cake, you'll need 42 squares
Extra Background Fabric, if desired*
1 1/4 yard Border Fabric
1/2 yard Binding Fabric
4 yards Backing Fabric
*If your Layer Cake has a lot more dark fabrics than light and medium, you might want to get a little extra yardage and cut a few 10" light squares. For this quilt, I used 1/3 yard of one of the light prints and cut 4 squares 10" x 10" to add into the mix. I took out 4 of the darker squares, so that I still had 42 squares for my quilt.
Choose a Layer Cake...
Pick out some coordinating fabrics. Shown below, from top to bottom, are my binding, border, a little extra background fabric, and my quilt backing.
Start out by dividing your 42 Layer Cake squares into groups of two. Be sure there is good contrast between each set of two squares.
Next, draw a diagonal line from corner to corner on each of the lighter squares in each pair. Next you will sew 1/4" from either side of the drawn line. I've drawn the stitching lines on either side of the diagonal line, shown above.
It saves a lot of time if you do the stitching by "chain piecing"...just stack up your fabrics and start sewing!
Next you will cut each pair of fabrics on the diagonal line.
Press seams toward the dark fabric. Each pair of squares will give you two matching half-square triangles.
Next, put your half-square triangles into sets of two. Again, go for contrast and variety...each pair of half-square triangles will make two quarter-square triangles for your quilt.
Now, put each pair of half-square triangles right sides together. be sure the dark fabrics of each pair are on opposite sides so the seams "nest" together.
Now, draw lines as you did when making the half-square triangles. Draw a diagonal line that goes across your stitching line. Sew 1/4" away from either side of the diagonal line. Again, I've again drawn the stitching lines to the right and left to make it easier to see.
Once again, cut on the diagonal line...
Then press each block to one side. You will now have 42 quarter square triangle blocks! At this point you will want to trim your blocks to measure 9" by 9". The easiest way to do this is to use a 9" or larger square ruler and line up the 4 1/2" marks with the centers.
Lay out your blocks, mixing up the fabrics. Make 7 rows of 6 blocks each, and turn the blocks so that the darks from one block are next to the lights in the surrounding blocks.
Sew the blocks in each row together, and then sew the rows together. Since there are so many seams coming together, I pressed the block and row seams open to reduce bulk where 4 blocks come together. This helped the points to meet evenly.
Now it's time to attach your borders. Cut 8 border strips 5" by width of fabric. Piece together for length. Measure the sides of your quilt and cut two strips to equal that measurement. Your strips for your left and right borders should measure close to 5" x 60". Sew these borders to your quilt, pressing towards the border fabric.
Next, measure your quilt at the top and bottom and cut two border strips equal to that measurement. Your top and bottom border strips should measure close to 5" x 60 1/2". Again, sew these borders to your quilt and then press towards the border fabric.
Your quilt should now measure about 60 1/2" x 69 1/2". Piece your backing fabric to make a backing at least 68" x 78". Layer Backing, Batting, and Quilt Top...then quilt as desired.
Cut 7 strips 2 1/2" x width of fabric and piece for length, to make your binding. Bind...
1 Fast and Fun Quilt, 60" x 69"
And be sure to enjoy your quilt!
Thanks so much...I hope you'll enjoy making this!

Sherri - what a great Layer Cake quilt. I do believe this one is in my near future. It'd be easy to enlarge to drape long over the sides of our King Sized bed. And I already have the layer cakes that I am considering using. Thank you.

I think she has it right - written is 1 1/4 yd of border & 1/2 of binding. Should be enough binding whether using on straight of grain or bias. This I such a great use of a layer cake! Thank you, Sherri.

Cougs finish
fifth in NEA
Chewelah has concluded its softball regular season. The Cougars are preparing for the first round of the Northeast A League District 7 1A playoffs.
Chewelah finished the regular season with an 8-2 loss to Medical Lake, giving the Cougars a fifth place finish with a 5-13 NEA record and a 6-14 record overall.
The Cougars will again face Medical Lake (7-11, 8-12) on the road Tuesday in the loser-out first round.
Loser-out opener
Kettle Falls High (11-7, 12-7) will host Freeman (4-14, 5-15) in the opening round (loser-out) of the Northeast A League District 7 1A softball tournament Tuesday at Kettle Falls. Game time is 4:30 p.m.
If the Lady Bulldogs, who finished the regular season with a sweep of visiting Freeman last Friday, can avoid the upset, they'll move on to NEA champion Lakeside (Nine Mile Falls) on Saturday for the remainder of the tournament proper.
In the other loser-out game on Tuesday, NEA No. 4 Medical Lake (7-11, 8-12) will host NEA No. 5 Chewelah (5-13, 6-14).
Indians lose at
home to WV
Colville had beaten Great Northern League rival West Valley twice during the regular season, but the fifth-seeded Eagles eliminated fourth-seeded Colville 3-0 last Thursday afternoon on the Colville pitch in the opening round of the District 7 2A playoffs.
The Eagles lost at league champion and unbeaten Cheney 3-0 in the District semifinal on Saturday.
Ian Schimandel scored two second half goals for Cheney.
WV was eliminated.
Colville will host on Thursday
Colville High (18-0, 19-1) will stay home this week to host second and third round games in the District 7 2A (Great Northern League) Tournament.
The league champion Indians, who annexed the GNL pennant by a whopping five games over second place Deer Park (13-5, 15-5), will host a Thursday second round game. CHS will oppose the survivor of the loser-out opener on Tuesday that pits GNL No. 4 East Valley (9-9, 10-10) against visiting GNL No. 5 Cheney (8-10, 10-10).
That game on Thursday at Dean Vaagen Park is scheduled for 4 p.m.
The weekend of April 20th was a huge success for the Colville FFA Trap team.
Colville FFA Trap earned number one champion status out of 20 schools shooting 276 out of 300 targets. n Mikalin Thompson took First place female in the state with 91 out of 100 targets. Kashmir Howes shot third in state with 89 out of 100 targets. Aiden Huggins earned third place overall male and Jonas Mebes shot well, earning fifth overall male.
Lakeside next
Kettle Falls High (8-6, 9-6), currently in third place in the Northeast A League girl's softball race behind Lakeside (11-1) and second place Riverside (11-2), started the week with three straight wins before losing a doubleheader last Saturday at Riverside.
The Lady Bulldogs started a busy week back on April 16 with a tough 5-2 win over visiting Chewelah. Two days later, KFHS edged visiting Medical Lake 4-3, and 2-1 before ending the week with 9-0, 8-6 losses at Riverside.
match-up is
key for Indians
Despite playing short-handed for much of the spring, and being without some key players in two key GNL match-ups last week, Colville High (7-4, 9-6) has turned in an impressive season to date in the 2A Great Northern League.
The Indians, who face a key Tuesday date at Pullman (6-4, 8-6) before the District 7 2A playoffs start next week, are currently a point out of third place in the GNL standings. Cheney has annexed the regular season GNL title with a perfect 10-0 record (11-2 overall). East Valley (8-3, 9-3) is in second place.
Another busy
week on tap
Losses have been very infrequent for the Colville High girl's tennis team in recent seasons. But in a busy, and otherwise eminently successful week, the Indians dropped their first Great Northern League match of the season on April 18 in a three-way duel played at East Valley High School.
At EV, the Indians fell 4-3 to GNL power Clarkston and edged host East Valley, 4-3.
Regular season
winding down
Colville High won its 13th straight game on a cold afternoon for softball at Vaagen Park back on April 16. The Indians broke open a scoreless game in the bottom of the third inning en route to a 9-3 Great Northern League softball win over third place Deer Park.
CHS (13-1, 12-0) was scheduled to make the long trip to Clarkston on Friday for a single game against the Bantams, but that contest was rescheduled for Monday.
Time to regroup
after Spring Break
It has been a busy couple of weeks for the Chewelah Cougars baseball team, starting with a 10-0 blanking of Newport and followed by a doubleheader sweep of Riverside.
The Spring Break finished on a down note when the Cougs were swept on the road in two games by Medical Lake.
The Cougars look to re-establish their momentum and focus this week on moving up in the Northeast A League baseball standings.

Honey-Molasses Chicken Drumsticks are one of my favorites. My family and friends especially enjoy these during football games. I discovered the recipe in the March 2005 edition of Cooking Light.
Add the following ingredients to your shopping list:
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
6 chicken drumsticks, skinned
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Combine 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of molasses, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Stir with a whisk.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Sprinkle your chicken with salt and pepper.
Place your chicken in the pan. Make sure it browns on all sides. Now add honey mixture to the pan, turning the chicken to coat evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan and cook 15 minutes or until chicken is done. Be sure to turn the chicken every 5 minutes. Uncover, then let cook for an additional minute or until mixture is thick. The mixture should be a mahogany color, and check the chicken to be sure it is well coated.
Remove from heat. Let it cool for 15 minutes. Then, cover and chill.

Here is my step 2.
Used cookie cutter shapes for cutting the curved pieces. Some of the shapes were added to the PSE program - so not sure where they came from.
Enlarged them a bit then made a paper in a darker color of the background paper and did a clipping mask for each shape. Set the opacity down to 50% and slide them under the shapes to make the shadows.
I kept the shape on the left side with a straight side as I love the white swirls on the paper edge.

A Metro police detective is on administrative leave after officials said an apparent accidental firearm discharge struck a person who was being arrested.
Police said Genaro Novarro Pascual, 25, was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in stable condition after he was shot in the ankle when Detective Charles McEachron's AR-15 rifle accidentally discharged while he and two patrol officers struggled to bring him into custody.
Officers responded to the Woodbridge Apartments on Bridgeway Circle at 9:50 p.m. in regard to a man firing shots outside.
Pascual, who matched the description of the shooting suspect, was seen by officers leaving one of the units. He appeared to be intoxicated and, as he was patted down, was found to be carrying a 10-mm semi-automatic pistol with a filed off serial number in his waistband, according to authorities.
After disarming Pascual of the pistol, two officers and McEachron struggled with the suspect. During the struggle, McEachron's rifle, which was being carried in a sling in front of the detective's body, accidentally discharged.
Arrest warrants have been issued charging Pascual with possession of a firearm while intoxicated, alteration of the gun's serial number and resisting arrest. Witnesses told police that Pascual had gotten into an altercation with an acquaintance in a truck and had fired shots at the vehicle, resulting in the original call to police.
McEachron has been placed on routine administrative leave as police investigate.

Reform, Accountability, and Leading from the Local Level: Secretary Arne Duncan's Remarks to the National League of Cities' Congressional City Conference
Secretary LaHood is a tough act to follow. But I am delighted to be here today to talk about a cause that is urgent and personalnot just for me but for all of us gathered here today. As President Obama has said, there are "any number of actions we can take as a nation to enhance our competitiveness and secure a better future for our people.
Crossing the Next Bridge: Secretary Arne Duncan's Remarks on the 45th Anniversary of "Bloody Sunday" at the Edmund Pettus Bridge, Selma, Alabama
It is a great honorand a sobering oneto speak at the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Here, 45 years ago, a recalcitrant state and governor slowly, begrudgingly, were forced to make due on the American promise of equal opportunity.
Statement of Arne Duncan on Race to the Top Rollout
Last July, I joined with President Obama to kick off the Race to the Top. This competition, which was funded through the Recovery Act with the support of Congress, put unprecedented resources$4.35 billion dollarson the table to reward states that are ready to dramatically re-shape America's educational system.
We said from the beginning that we were going to set a very high bar in this competition, that we would only reward excellence, and that winning would require an all hands on deck approach to reform.
Using Technology to Transform Schools—Remarks by Secretary Arne Duncan at the Association of American Publishers Annual Meeting
This is an extraordinary time for all of us in the field of education. One year ago, schools throughout the country were facing an education catastrophe. One estimate said that 600,000 jobs were at risk. Working together, the President and Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act with $100 billion for education.
Preparing the Teachers and School Leaders of Tomorrow: Secretary Arne Duncan's Remarks at the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education Conference
Thank you. I want to talk to you today about a paradox that can handcuff efforts at education reform. The paradox is this: Everyone in this hall would agree that great teachers and principals hold the key to America's children getting a first-rate educationnothing is more important.
Under Secretary Martha Kanter's Remarks at the 2010 AIEA Conference
Thank you for inviting me to speak to you today. I'm thrilled that Andre Lewis, our new Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Education, could join me here this afternoon. This position was included in the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act because Congressman Holt and his colleagues recognized the need for leadership in international education in the U.S.
Leading from the Superintendent's Office: Secretary Arne Duncan's Remarks at the American Association of School Administrators Conference
Thank you. During the seven-and-a-half years I was CEO of the Chicago Public Schools, I sometimes got the question: "Why in the world would you ever want to be a school superintendent?"
Remarks of Dr. Thelma Melendez de Santa Ana to the National Association for Bilingual Education
Thank you for inviting me to address this group of valued colleagues and championsit is wonderful to be here among so many people committed to guaranteeing an excellent education for every child in America.
Investing in Education: Secretary Arne Duncan's Remarks to the National School Boards Association
It's been a little more than a year since the President took the oath of office and I became secretary of education.
Under Secretary Martha Kanter's Remarks at the Association of American Colleges and Universities Annual Meeting
Thank you for inviting me to speak to you today. I have been in my job in Washington for a little over six months now, and I've been privileged to get to know many of you and to learn about and recognize in many of our national conversations the extraordinary work of AAC&U.

The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force is offering a reward for information which would lead to the capture of fugitive Christopher Jackson.
Jackson is wanted by the U.S. Marshals and Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office for aggravated assault with a firearm. It is alleged that at the end of May, Jackson hunted down a man he thought was messing around with his girlfriend. When he located the victim near the Morris Black housing projects in Cleveland, he jumped out of a vehicle and shot him several times before fleeing.
Jackson is described as a 31-year-old black male standing approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 178 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.
Authorities believe he is hiding somewhere in Cleveland. He has a previous address near the 8000 block of Amos Avenue in Cleveland.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Christopher Jackson is encouraged to contact the NOVFTF at 1-866-4WANTED or text keyword "WANTED" with the tip to TIP411. Tipsters may remain anonymous. A cash reward may be available.

Governor Nathan Deal says the state still hopes to reach an agreement soon for a new Atlanta Falcons stadium, but questions on paying for a new facility continue to hang over the talks.
The Falcons' season may be over, but negotiations for a new stadium are not. The framework of a stadium deal was announced last month, but the terms for public funding of that proposal have hit a roadblock at the Georgia state Capitol. The key issue remains taxpayer involvement in the deal.
The goal for the Falcons and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority is to build a billion dollar retractable roof stadium near the current Georgia Dome. Public opinion and legislative resistance have been running high against raising the authority's debt limit by $100 million to help to pay for the new facility.
Gov. Deal said that the initial request for the taxpayer-funded stadium commitment was "too high."
Still, the stadium cost is to be largely covered by the Falcons, and Governor Deal says that the state hopes to reach an agreement that will utilize other financial alternatives.
"We are working within the numbers that are out there. The current authorization levels as well as perhaps other options," Deal said.
At the same time, Deal says that the Falcons have made a good case that without a new facility, the current dome will need costly upgrades.
"So the argument is do you spend millions more dollars on repairs and perhaps even at some point having to replace the current dome roof, which is a major expenditure. Or do you go ahead and make an investment now that will be good for 20 years and we will have a commitment that the Falcons will remain for that period of time in Atlanta, Georgia," said Deal.
Other financing options for a new stadium include participation of "Invest Atlanta," which is the city's economic development agency.
Had the Falcons made it to the Super Bowl, would it have helped? FOX 5's Paul Yates says even though they won a key initial playoff game, and that didn't seem to put much of a dent into the resistance to the idea of increasing the debt limit.

A year ago today, I got startling news when going to what was supposed to be a routine prenatal appointment. The ultrasound the day before had found that the baby growing and moving in my belly had enlarged ventricles in her brain and signs of Arnold Chiari Malformation. Before I even left the building, I was scheduled to go to Sacramento to meet with a geneticist and have a level 2 ultrasound. Luckily, my mom was already on summer vacation (she's a teacher) and had come to the ultrasound with me the day before and the appointment on that day, so I didn't have to drive myself. Instead, I called my husband and got on a 3 way call with the geneticist who asked us a million questions, but didn't really tell us much. My mom drove to Sac, while I cried worrying about this long awaited baby. Aaron left work and met my mom and me for lunch where he tried to convince me to have an amnio if they couldn't tell what was wrong from the level 2 ultrasound and let me tell you.... that was NOT going to happen. No offense to anyone who has had one, but I WAS NOT going to risk this pregnancy just so we could be "better prepared" for what was to come. Not happening. We headed over to the genetics dept to meet with the geneticist for a few minutes before heading to the level 2 ultrasound. The tech was awesome and obviously very experienced. She printed a TON of pics for us, which was really nice. Here are a couple of my favorites
The baby was sitting up really high with her butt pressed into my ribs, so the tech was having a hard time getting a image of her full spine. She had me get up and move around, use the restroom, etc. After a bit of what I like to call ultrasound yoga, we were able to twist my body, the bed and ultrasound wand into just the right position so they were able to see just what they needed to see. The tech went out of the room while the perinatologist viewed the images. Aaron and I waited in silence (except when he again mentioned an amnio.... still not happening) until the perinatologist came in to give us the news. Our daughter had a neural tube defect- Spina Bifida. We were told she would probably not be able to walk, would have urinary and bowel incontinence, and depending on how bad the extra fluid got in her brain, she could have brain damage and cognitive delays. We were crushed... absolutely crushed. We went back to the office with the geneticist who gave us the option to terminate. Really? We were not going to throw away this baby that we longed for. We were given a lot of bad (incorrect) information from the geneticist and were told we would be getting lots of calls and appointments set up in the coming days. We all left with lots of questions, fear, sadness, and, honestly, some anger at God. What had we done to deserve this news after trying and praying for this baby for so long? It was not fair. That night and the next couple days were filled with lots of tears and anxiety. I had always felt like I was supposed to be the mother of a child with special needs, but had told God on several occasions, "anything but Spina Bifida." But, here we were... God had given us a child and she was going to be born with Spina Bifida. It took me only a couple days to get to a much better place. I realized rather quickly that God had made me with certain gifts and given me specific life experiences because I was meant to have this precious girl with special medical and physical needs. I could do it and everything was going to be ok. My husband has taken a lot longer to come around... honestly I don't know that he has really. He's still pretty angry at God and not happy with life in general. Don't get me wrong... it is horrible to watch your child go through painful surgeries and really hard trying to weed out what is "normal baby stuff" and what is symptoms of Chiari compression, syrinx compression, shunt failure, etc. It's hard, stressful and heartbreaking. But, the overriding feeling I have when I look at my daughter is joy and love. She is beautiful, strong and so full of joy. I look back now at how I responded to the news that my daughter would have Spina Bifida and I'm quite disappointed in myself. Natalie is perfectly and wonderfully made just the way she is. And I am perfectly and wonderfully made to be her momma and meet her needs just the way SHE is. Why did I ever doubt God and His perfect purpose for our lives? This life will continue to be harder than I could have imagined, yet more wonderful that I could have imagined as well.

Yesterday on Jake's show he brought up a topic- mom's what is one thing you hate about being a mom? And that question got me thinking...not about what I hate, but things I wish I wouldn't have taken for granted. If I could go back and tell myself some things, here is what I would have said.
Dear Katie circa 2012,
You and Michael are about to create the coolest and most wonderful person you have ever met. He is going to rock your world and show you more love and genuine bliss than you can ever imagine.
Your world is about to be turned upside down, and life as you know it will never be the same. Some things won't happen instantaneously. Some things you will hardly even notice. And most things will be easy to give up, but here are things I would have done differently in the time before I got pregnant.
1. Spend all of the time in the world at the gym. Sure you are going to be busy some days and can only squeeze in 40 minutes- totally understandable. But at this point in your life, you and Michael will struggle to get 40 minutes in at the gym 3 or 4 times a week. No it isn't because you are just SO busy. It is because it kind of doesn't make sense. You already pay a monthly fee to use the gym (luckily for us only 22 bucks a month). Add an hour a day of daycare. That is 4 bucks a day, 5 days a week. That is 20 bucks a week. Your gym membership has now gone from costing you 22 bucks a month to 100. So when you didn't have kids and thought, hmm Michael is at work, I don't have much going on this afernoon, run that extra mile on the treadmill. You have no excuse not to.
2. Never pay at the pump. Your only option these days is paying at the pump. To get your kid out of the carseat to run in and pay for gas becomes one of the ultimate tasks. I hate getting him in and out of that carseat in my small toyota corolla. And heaven forbid you leave him in a running car while you run in for a quick sec. Their is a good chance social services will be there before you even get back to your car. So don't pay at the pump. Stroll the aisles. Take your time choosing between skittles or starburst. You won't be able to even run in for a gallon of milk without it being a process for the next five year.
3. Avoid chain restaurants. If you manage to have a kid that you can actually take to restaurants at a young age, it's a good chance it will be only chain restaurants. Why you ask? Because they are loud. If we are at Red Robin and Brody decides he wants to have a conversation with a child across the restaurant, not a problem. NO one can hear him over the music and loud conversation happening anyway. So take the opportunity to go to the local restaurants that take reservations. Go to the place where you grab a drink at the bar before you even put your name in! Just do it.
4. Stay out late. Again, this is a cost thing. Sure I am tired at midnight, but this is now how I weigh my options. Will what I am doing until bar close be worth the extra 7 dollars an hour I am paying my sitter? So stay out late and spend that money buying rounds for your friends whom will be pushed to the wayside when you become a mom, even though you swear you are going to be different.
5. Volunteer for hours at work. Do favors for your coworkers. Pick up their shifts. Because in a few short months when your kid's daycare has to unexpectedly close for the day and you have to leave work early, they are going to be picking up your slack. If you put in the time now and do favors for them, you will feel less guilty when they return the favors.
6. Buy yourself clothes. I don't shop for clothes for myself anymore. I shop for Brody. AND I LOVE IT. Seriously, I get a thrill out of finding awesome deals. And they're clothes are much more affordable. But needless to say we are still on a budget and I find myself using my clothes budget for Brody and not me, just because it's more fun to shop for him. And hey, let's be honest, everything looks good on him!
So what would you tell yourself pre baby?

Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid (EFA) that we find in the diet from sources of oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Being essential, means that omega-3 is vital for normal bodily function, however can not be synthesised by the body and must be consumed through the diet.
The essential fatty acids consumed in the diet are made up of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) which are both long chain fatty acids that have been shown to contribute to the normal function of the heart. In the UK it is recommended we consume at the minimum 1 portion of oily fish a week to receive adequate sources of omega-3. However, intakes are well below this whereby a supplement such as Myprotein omega-3 can help meet the established omega-3 recommendations and also be highly beneficial to your nutritional status.
Ideal for any individual who wants to consume a balanced diet, boost omega 3 intake and gain optimum cardiovascular health and well being.
We recommend consuming 2 softgels 1 - 3 times daily with meals.

Myprotein, I could kiss you!
- (16 / Jul / 2013)
First of all I'd like to say that these are literally a life saver for me and my training! Everytime I did any overhead or shoulder exercise my rotator cuff would just mess up and I'd get a sharp uncomfortable pain and would cause me to stop training and not get a workout in at all on my shoulders and sometimes my chest! Now, where do I begin? I take 2 of these tablets with my breakfast and 2 with my dinner then train 2 hours later from my dinner, it has just 'fixed' the problem. I get no pains at all, and I can actually lift a lot more weight and lift more intensely now on chest and my shoulders, so I would like to say thanks myprotein for these tablets and for suck an amazing price. You have saved my training! Also the tablets are big but rest assured they are really easy to swallow down with water.Goes Well With:Alpha men and Vitamin D3!
- (15 / Jul / 2013)
I have tendonitis in my elbows and Omega 3 helps.
- (01 / Jul / 2013)
Omega 3 is a brilliant product! It's helped me out with all sorts of joint problems. I would recommend to anyone, whether they lift weights or not! Also, it's very cheap and doesn't leave that horrible fishy taste like I've come across with other fish oils in the past!
- (26 / Jun / 2013)
These omega 3 caps have a very rank smell. And I always down them with a glass of water or shake. But I must say that they do the job. I can notice a difference in joint when I take these.Goes Well With:water, shake etc.
best for joints care
- (26 / Jun / 2013)
I am taking 1-2 capsules with my meal 3 times a day for 3 weeks now and I have noticed that now I don't feel pain, stiffness in my knees and specially in lower back. Taste, Mixability and effectiveness are superb. I will definitely recommend this product for joint care.Thanks My Protein .
- (24 / Jun / 2013)
I've always suffered from wrist, elbow and knee pains and within a couple of weeks of using Omega 3, combined with Glucosamine Sulphate, it has improved no end. The capsules are quite large but still easy to swallow and have no real taste, except maybe a little sweetness.Goes Well With:Glucosamine Sulphate
- (20 / Jun / 2013)
Omega 3 is a great product, simply mix to taste. Start with a quarter teaspoon and work from there for anything stronger.
- (11 / Jun / 2013)
If you have trouble swallowing tablets, you'll have to man up with these.
I have inflammatory bowel disease and these have gone a substantial way towards helping reduce inflammation & I'd recommend them to anyone and everyone for the oh-so-common systematic inflammation caused by the modern post-agricultural revolution diet.
Goes Well With:plenty of water
- (10 / Jun / 2013)
I don't know what to say. Omega 3 is a fish oil, it does what a fish oil has to do, but for a reasonable price.
Does what it says on the fish
- (03 / Jun / 2013)
I do not have a lot to say other than Omega 3 is fish oil with a perfect EPA/DHA ratio, cheap per serving and is easy to swallow. It's essential for anyone interested in performance and general health.Goes Well With:The typical too-high-in-omega 6 western diet.
- (28 / May / 2013)
I find the Omega 3 brilliant at the moment, cutting down on keto so milk and cheese is out the window, these mixed with calcium has made my joints feel like they can work again with out needed to go to the dairy.
- (24 / May / 2013)
Omega 3 is the best value for money fish oil out there. I can't find this quality cheaper.Goes Well With:Every meal.
- (23 / May / 2013)
I'm happy with the Omega 3. It's one of the highest strength Omega 3 supplements I have come across.
Joint Health
- (21 / May / 2013)
I have always suffered from tendonitis of the elbow or 'tennis-elbow', and this Omega 3 has helped it somewhat. I do not get it as much as I used to do, so I would recommend if you need some joint care.
- (20 / May / 2013)
I added these Omega 3 softgels to my supplement stack along with a healthy diet, and I feel they help my recovery, which also leads to quicker lean gains. I've been receiving good comments from people, and I think these softgels have a part to play in that! They are easy to swallow and there's no need to mix it with anything. It's quick, easy and effective!Goes Well With:Cla's, l-glutamine
- (15 / May / 2013)
This Omega 3 is a must have product. Compared not having this to when I have it every day I can distinctly notice a relationship between this product and joint comfort (difficult to pin point on 'fluidity/smoothness/clicking etc. so joint comfort is a good all encompassing term to use for the effect of this product). I train and compete as a power lifter, so it really helps with recovery between sessions and helping my joints stand up to repeated high load and volume of weight.
Thanks for a reliable and effective product.
Great value for money

Although a bit tough to swallow to begin with, this is quickly overcome by the fact that these Omega 3 capsules have no taste, are very affordable and mixes well with other supplements, i.e. creatine. It's a bit hard to actually rate the effectiveness, however there's no negative impact at all. Strongly recommended!Goes Well With:Creatine

Omega 3 is the one you really need. I spent money on 3,6, and 9 for years but it just isn't necessary. As long as you can handle big capsules then this is the one for you. No after taste no bad smell. All good.Goes Well With:Anything - it's an essential oil.

These are great, and do help when taken with a balanced diet. I am 28 now, with a moderately active lifestyle but do not suffer any aches or pains, or other ailments (at the moment) and I do believe this has something to do with the supplements I take.
I've been trying to buy more recently and notice that only the 90 or 6000 packs are available, and was told by customer services they may not stock the 1000 packs anymore. I hope this is just a mistake, or a stock replenishment issue.
Exactly what the body needs
- (02 / Apr / 2013)
I regularly buy omega 3 tablets since deciding to look after my body and health. I have tried other omega 3 tablets and they caused me to burp afterwards as well as leaving a horrible fishy taste. However this was not the case with these capsules from Myprotein. The capsules are fairly large but as they are a softgel they are easy to swallow - and as I usually struggle swallowing tablets I was surprised I found them so easy. There is no after taste and I generally feel better after taking them. I take 2 every morning before breakfast, I have lost weight since taking them but this may also be linked to diet change. I take these capsules as I don't have enough fish in my diet to balance out my omega's and so I find this is the easiest way to do so! This is a great price for capsules of this dose! Keep producing this great product Myprotein!Goes Well With:Impact whey protein, Vitamin D3, CLA

Omega 3 is a very good product and it's reasonably priced. It gives me all the EFAs I need, helps keep bones and joints healthy, and provides me with the necessary fats. Goes Well With:Water

"When I first received the capsules I was shocked to see the size of them. I though I'd never get them down my throat buy after trying them for the first time, they slid down without much hassle. The capsules do have a very strong smell of fish and you will get a teeny tiny taste of tuna, but trust me, you won't even notice the taste once you swallow the capsule (providing you won't bite it). As for the results, it's too early to say since I've been taking them for about a day or so."
- (29 / Apr / 2012)
"Really good value. I was worried when i first opened the tub and smelled a strong fish smell, but you can't taste it and there's no after after taste or smell. Easy to swallow, and no problems!"

What is radiation therapy?
In radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy), invisible high-energy rays are used to damage cancer cells and can stop them from growing and dividing. This ultimately can kill the cancer cells treated with radiation. A specialist in radiation therapy is called a radiation oncologist.

There was a huge fire Wednesday at an auto salvage yard on Detroit's west side complete with billowing black smoke and a number of explosions.American Auto Recyclers near Joy Road and West Chicago has a lot full of used auto parts, rubber, grease and gasoline -- everything you don't want near a fire."A gas tank exploded down there by the crusher... and that's what started the fire," said employee Richard Hunt.Firefighters tackled the blaze from above and from the ground. The fire jumped from place to place, igniting car after car.Putting out the fire wasn't easy. The heavy smoke seemed to draw a crowd of gawkers, getting in the way of firefighters trying to protect residents and stop the fire from spreading.Crews battled the blaze for hours. So far, no injuries or missing employees have been reported.

Atlanta Braves @ Philadelphia Phillies
(Sports Network) - The playoff-bound Atlanta Braves can all but extinguish the postseason hopes of the Philadelphia Phillies tonight when the teams open a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park.
The Braves, who are second in the National League East Division and trail Washington by 5 1/2 games, are 8 1/2 games ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers in the chase to secure one of the league's two wild card berths.
Atlanta is six games ahead of St. Louis, which now holds the second wild card slot.
The Phillies are fifth in the overall race for the two spots and trail the Cardinals by four games.
For the Braves, right-hander Tommy Hanson tries to snap a skid that's left him winless since July 30.
The 26-year-old has started six times since and is 0-3 with three no-decisions while his earned run average has crept slightly up from 4.29 to 4.33.
He pitched five innings against the Nationals in his most recent start on Sept. 15, allowing two earned runs on five hits while getting a no-decision in the Braves' 5-4 win.
Hanson is 2-2 in nine career starts against the Phillies with a 3.06 ERA in 47 innings.
Philadelphia counters with righty Kyle Kendrick, who's had significant success in 18 career meetings with the Braves.
The 28-year-old has won six of seven decisions while posting a 2.87 ERA while starting 12 times and relieving six more against Atlanta.
His last meeting with the Braves was Aug. 8 in Philadelphia and he was uncharacteristically ineffective, allowing six runs on seven hits in 3 1/3 innings of a game the Phillies lost, 12-6.
In seven starts since, Kendrick is 5-2 and has trimmed his ERA from 4.86 to 3.95.
On Thursday in New York, the Phillies brought 13 hitters to the plate and scored eight runs during a 33-minute first inning en route to thumping the Mets, 16-1, and finishing off a three-game sweep at Citi Field.
Jimmy Rollins, Juan Pierre and Chase Utley combined for 11 hits, eight RBI and six runs scored.
"We didn't have things go the way we wanted them to go (while the Cardinals played) in Houston," Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard said. "Four down, the only thing we can do is continue to win and let everything else sort itself out."
On Wednesday in Miami, Kris Medlen spun eight shutout innings to guide the Braves to a 3-0 triumph over the Marlins in the finale of a three-game set at Marlins Park.
Medlen (9-1) scattered four hits and struck out six to earn his eighth straight winning decision.
The Braves have won 21 consecutive games that Medlen started dating back to 2010. The last team to win 21 straight starts by one pitcher was the New York Yankees, who won 22 straight Whitey Ford starts in 1950 and 1953. Ford missed the 1951 and 1952 seasons for military service.
"I felt good. I didn't have that two-seamer coming back to lefties, I was kind of pulling a little bit," Medlen said. "Overall I felt great. I was trying to get a feel for the game, trying to see if they were going to be aggressive, or patient. I don't know I kind of just mixed and matched."
Jason Heyward, Freddie Freeman and Jose Constanza each drove in a run for the Braves.
The Braves won 10 of the first 15 games between the teams in 2012, but the Phillies won two of three when they last played from Aug. 31-Sept. 2 in Atlanta. Philadelphia won 12 of 18 games in 2011.
St. Louis Cardinals @ Chicago Cubs
(Sports Network) - The last time that Chris Carpenter pitched on a big league mound, he helped the St. Louis Cardinals win the World Series.
Nearly 11 months later, the veteran starter is set for a somewhat surprising return as he takes the hill on Friday aiming to move his club closer to a postseason spot in the opener of a three-game series with the Chicago Cubs.
The 37-year-old Carpenter was a workhorse last season, logging 237 1/3 innings in the regular season before going 4-0 with a 3.25 earned run average in six postseason starts. That fourth victory came in Game 7 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers.
Carpenter, the 2005 NL Cy Young Award winner, experienced issues with his shoulder before the start of the season and underwent surgery in July because of thoracic outlet syndrome. The procedure was expected to sideline the righty for the rest of the year, but he instead returns in the middle of a playoff chase.
"I've pitched in plenty of games that have mattered, so I'm going out there with the same focus, the same program, and that's to mentally and physically prepare to get outs and give us a chance to win," Carpenter said on St. Louis' official website. "Hopefully, I can help us get going on a little push and that we can put a little run together here."
Carpenter threw a 90-pitch simulated game last Saturday and is 11-6 with a 3.05 ERA in 25 career meetings with the Cubs.
St. Louis is 2 1/2 games ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers for the NL's second wild card position after winning its fourth straight game on Thursday. The Cards edged out a 5-4 win over the Houston Astros to finish off a three-game sweep.
Carlos Beltran was not in the starting lineup after coming out early on Wednesday due to knee tightness, but he came off the bench yesterday and delivered a deciding two-run double in the sixth inning.
"They told me if a situation came up where guys were in scoring position, they were going to use me," Beltran said. "So I'm not surprised. The manager is the one making the calls and I just have to be ready when he needs me."
Allen Craig hit a three-run homer and Jamie Garcia yielded three runs over six innings to pick up the win.
The Cubs will look to play spoiler on Friday behind Chris Volstad, who is coming off a no-decision against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
Volstad, who will turn 26 this Sunday, was charged with six runs on 10 hits, two homers and four walks in 4 2/3 innings of work. He was taken off the hook for a decision due to his club's 13-9 win.
The righty is 3-10 with a 6.26 ERA in 18 games this season and 2-3 with a 5.15 ERA in six career meetings with the Cardinals.
Chicago has lost five of its past six and dropped a 5-3 decision on Thursday to Cincinnati, a victory for the Reds that officially locked up their postseason berth.
Anthony Rizzo finished with two hits and two RBI for the Cubs, while Jason Berken yielded just two hits over six scoreless innings. However, reliever Manny Corpas was tagged for five runs on six hits in the seventh inning.
"For me, it's just a matter of stringing together a couple more good starts and going into the offseason on a positive note," Berken said.
The Cardinals are 8-6 versus the Cubs this season despite losing four of six in Chicago.
Milwaukee Brewers @ Washington Nationals
(Sports Network) - With their first playoff berth in 31 years officially clinched, the Washington Nationals can turn their attention to the NL East crown.
The Nats, though, face perhaps the hottest team in baseball as they begin a four-game series with the hard-charging Milwaukee Brewers on Friday evening.
When Drew Storen struck out the side on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers, he sealed off a 4-1 victory that was the Nationals' 91st win of the season. That clinched at least a wild card berth for the club, giving the franchise its first playoff spot since the 1981 Montreal Expos.
It's the first time in 79 years that a team from Washington D.C. has made the postseason since the 1933 Washington Senators fell to the New York Giants in the World Series.
"This is definitely a meaningful moment," Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth said of the momentous win. "We'll celebrate tonight and go back to work tomorrow."
Work for the Nats now means a division title. Washington owns a 5 1/2-game lead over the second-place Atlanta Braves in the NL East, giving it a magic number of eight to claim the top spot.
The Braves visit the Philadelphia Phillies for three games this weekend.
Washington faces its own challenge in Milwaukee, which has won five straight, eight of nine and 19 of its past 24 to get back into the playoff chase. The Brewers logged a 9-7 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday to remain 2 1/2 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the NL's second wild card spot.
Milwaukee avoided a loss on Thursday when Aramis Ramirez ripped a go-ahead RBI single to cap a four-run eighth inning. Ramirez also homered in the 9-7 win.
"It would have been easy for us to not fight and come back, and the guys keep doing it," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said of his team's come-from-behind victory.
Hoping for his first victory since June 8, the struggling Shaun Marcum takes the mound tonight for the Brewers.
Marcum will be making his sixth start since missing two-plus months due to injury and has allowed four runs in each of his last three outings. The righty has also pitched past the fifth inning just once since his return and lasted only four frames in a no-decision versus the New York Mets on Saturday.
"Shaun didn't have good command. He's a command pitcher but he didn't have it," said Roenicke. "I don't know what the reason is. I thought his stuff was good, his fastball was good, but his location wasn't."
The 30-year-old is 5-4 with a 3.91 earned run average in 18 starts this season and will face the Nationals franchise for the second time in his career. He would love to duplicate the first, when he got the win after giving up two runs on three hits -- two solo homers -- over seven innings while striking out 11.
The Nationals turn to Edwin Jackson, who is 9-10 with a 3.89 ERA through 28 starts this season and did not factor into a 5-4 loss to the Braves on Saturday.
The 29-year-old right-hander was charged with four runs -- three earned -- on four hits, two homers and a walk, also striking out seven over 5 1/3 innings.
Jackson was excellent in a win over the Brewers back on July 26, logging seven scoreless innings while scattering eight hits and a walk with four strikeouts. He moved to 3-2 with a 3.46 ERA lifetime in the series.
The Nationals took three of four in that series at Milwaukee and won all three meetings at home versus the Brewers last season.
Los Angeles Dodgers @ Cincinnati Reds
(Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Reds know they aren't done yet.
One day after locking up a postseason berth, the Reds hope to give themselves a chance at the NL Central crown on Friday evening in the first of three straight games against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Cincinnati clinched at least a wild card berth with Thursday's 5-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs and now eye the division title. The Reds can clinch their second first-place finish in three years with a victory tonight as well as a loss by the St. Louis Cardinals, who trail Cincinnati by 11 games in the standings.
With a division title just about guaranteed, the Reds are also battling the NL East-leading Washington Nationals for the league's best record. Both teams currently have 91 wins, but the Reds have one more loss.
Joey Votto drove in a run and Johnny Cueto hurled six innings of five-hit ball to win Thursday's game.
"Anything less than winning the World Series is selling ourselves short," Votto said. "That's our goal."
Cincinnati was again without manager Dusty Baker, who remained in a Chicago hospital because of an irregular heartbeat. Baker is hoping to be in Cincinnati for tonight's game, but isn't expected to manage.
Bench coach Chris Speier has filled in for Baker over the last two games.
The Reds hope to clinch tonight behind Bronson Arroyo, who had a string of five straight winning decisions snapped on Friday with a loss at the Miami Marlins.
Arroyo yielded four runs on nine hits and two walks over six frames, striking out six in his first loss since Aug. 6.
"Bronson didn't do badly, we just didn't put up any runs," Baker said of his starter. "He just made that one mistake on (a solo homer to Miami's Greg) Dobbs. Other than that he threw the ball pretty well."
The right-handed Arroyo is 12-8 with a 3.74 earned run average in 29 starts this season.
In 14 career meetings with the Los Angeles Dodgers, including 13 starts, the 35-year-old Arroyo is 5-4 with a 3.92 ERA.
Once contenders for the NL West crown, the Dodgers are playing themselves out of a postseason berth as they sit three games behind the Cardinals for the league's second wild card spot. They lost for the 10th time in 14 games on Thursday, falling 4-1 to the Washington Nationals.
Chris Capuano allowed four runs -- three earned -- on six hits and a walk for the Dodgers.
"We're going in the wrong direction," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.
Mattingly hopes that Joe Blanton can earn his second victory tonight with Los Angeles since coming over in a trade with the Philadelphia Phillies. The righty is just 1-4 with a 6.07 ERA in eight games since the deal and did not factor into a victory over the Cardinals on Saturday after yielding three runs over 5 2/3 innings.
Blanton, 31, is 9-13 with a 4.97 ERA in 29 total appearances this season as well as 2-0 with a 4.85 ERA in four career starts versus the Reds.
The Dodgers won two of three versus the Reds at home in early July.

I purchased this item to account for poor electrical at venues and allow me to keep that Tele tone. It did not disappoint! I did make some minor changes to hardware string savers (graph tech saddles) string tree and Fender logo neck plate (it's a little thicker than original) adding sustain..... It plays fantastic! I have no complaints with this beauty!
I have another single coil Tele, but this one definitely rocks!!!

Pros: Looks & sounds great.
Cons: Terrible bridge hardware & string spacing.
My Story:
I own a 2012 White/Blonde Ash Cabronita. I spotted this guitar across the room in a local shop, and it was like a cheesy scene from a movie where two love interests lock eyes and are drawn together. I plugged it into a Hot Rod Deluxe in the shop's amp room and found that the sound lived up to the appearance. It was badly in need of a setup, but that is the case with most guitars you grab off the wall in most shops so I paid no mind to this as I asked the clerk to fetch me a hard case for my pending purchase.
Once I put on a fresh set of strings, set the action the way I like it and adjusted the neck relief to spec, the guitar played brilliantly and sounded just as good—as long as I stayed within the first 5 frets. The guitar proved impossible to intonate, even removing the springs from the bridge to allow me to move the saddle back further, any notes played beyond the 5th fret got progressively sharper. I also noticed that the string's alignment with the neck and pickups was off slightly, not enough for the sound to be affected, but enough for the high e string to slide off the edge of the fret board very easily.
I don't know if the cause of my issues are production related, or if the engineers at Fender should have spent more time in the lab with this one before going to production, but from what I read there are many others out there that share the same issues as I do. If you are in the market for one, please go to several shops and try out as many different ones as possible paying close attention to the bridge and the guitars intonation before purchasing.

My Fender Cabronita is white blonde, which is very sexy, and has an ash body. I find ash to be a particularly resonant wood (I also have a Baja with an ash body) which translate in superior sustain. It also means a relatively heavy instrument.
The finish was absolutely perfect, spotless.
The action was too high for my liking, and I lowered it by adjusting the saddles, just above the limit of fret buzz. It is very sweet to play now.
The neck is so called modern-C which is pretty thick in my hand, but I got used to it quickly. Neck radius is only 9.5" which makes barre chords easier, but bending slightly more difficult. Again, after a little of practice, one gets quickly used to it. The lower neck radius adds to the neck fullness – which is also, in my opinion, a contributor to the high sustain.
The glossy fretboard paint may be not friendly of those with sweaty hands – luckily I am not one.
The sound is true Tele, twangy, yet powerful and rich due to the humbuckers. I run it through a Bugera valve amp with a valve Beringher distortion unit, and I get the classic rock sound I am after. I have a Gretsch Jet Pro with Filter'tron pickups and I can say these Fideli'tron pickups are very similar but not exactly the same, as they deliver the trademark twang. (I play Paranoid by B Sabbath and get the correct sound.)
There is a remarkable difference in sound between the bridge and the neck pickup. I use almost constantly the bridge, but the neck gives very warm and full tones that would probably satisfy other players.
Tuners are OK, and have a relatively high ratio. The guitar stays in tune quite well.
The guitar came with a 9-42 string set, which is fine to me. I will replace them with coated strings after some use, as a matter of personal preference.
I like the simplicity of the electronics – I do not need a tone control.

I loved my strat but when I heard this I had to have it. I was not a huge fan of Teles but when I heard recording of Cabronitas it turned my head because it had what I felt they lacked for me. The sounds and playability are fantastic. I reach for this one every time. I do not miss a tone knob at all. Changes in tone come from pick or finger attack and changes on my amp. It has a huge range with everything sounding good.
One criticism, the nut was cut horribly on this instrument so that every fretted note was sharp when the open strings were tuned properly. It could not be intonated at all - even though I have a light touch. I had to replace it with a new tusq precut nut and the problem was solved. I found this extremely disappointing even while I was falling in love with the sound, playability, and feel of this instrument. The neck is extremely comfortable and playable. The strings are very close to the edges given the bridge chosen by fender, but I don't have a problem with it. If you vibrato both directions side to side on the E and e it will fall off the edge.

Tried this little beauty out through a Super Champ X2 and basically just fell in love. I miss having a tone control for those wah-like swells but it's a small matter. The neck is well made; the bone nut is a nice touch. The Fideli'Trons kick ass! So much tone, so variable! I ran her through my modelling amp at home and I can say you can play just about anything with these pups. All this for 6 bills! You won't go wrong if you buy one.
