The fiscal "path we are on is unsustainable," but we are risking "economic Armageddon" by taking "drastic action on the debt limit and government funding" is imprudent, irresponsible and could be "playing Russian roulette with the economy," says Rick Moran in PJ Media.
Raise the debt limit, or blow up economy

Obama is the "raise the debt limit" king. Where do we go from there?
the debt limit has been raised every time it's been needed. It's completely useless at this point. Our government has a credit card with absolutely no limit on it. If they can just print all the money they want, they why does anyone have to work? Why not just give every American a couple million dollars each?
These are bills the GOP house voted to authorize. If they decide not to grant the president the authority to pay the bills that THEY racked up all the GOP is doing is playing a game chicken with the president to score a few political points with a small group of supporters who wouldn't mind crashing the economy if they think it will bring them more seats in the next election.

When the ### hits the fan, jobs and even money may be useless.
Since you have less to hold onto, it will be easier to let go of this old American way of life.
(That was easy to say)
Your relationship with you wife is job number one, relationships last forever.
I'm trying to start a business in all of this, three kids and no gurantee cash flow, big time stress for me and my wife, stress on our relationship, so take special care of her.
As far as what's comming, more of the same crap just bigger and more blatant. The powers are getting more bold, they don't fear the people, or the church. They have worked in apathy Into all parts of our life. They know how to distract us and divide us.
The unions will try and exert control over all working class, and place any middle class independent business man out on the streets, unable to compete against regulations and labor laws. We will have classic third world style income gap. Instead of everyone having TV to spread propaganda like in Cuba, we will have IPhones to make sure we can be tracked and informed.(as i type on my IPad) All of our convinance and comforts will be hard to let go.
I have no idea when I think this will happen, I do feel it may happen soon, but at any rate unpresidented change is going to happen.
One more thought, count this time of trial and testing as a blessing, for you and your family are one step closer to being prepared to handle the comming crises.
Now get over yourself and buy your wife some flowers, and her mother too.edit on 18-9-2012 by Observationalist because: Way to many gramer and spelling I give up.

The other half so disillusioned and weak from years of poverty they're just as worthless to themselves as they are to anyone else.
I see a world with no privacy and the slightest thing said or done out of line or against the state can cost a person ...
I see a world where everything you think and say is known and there are ten people salivating waiting to take all that you have worked for. ...a privilege to live. ...along the lines of "The Hunger Games" ...

You could come out to North Dakota, plenty of jobs here and iron workers are making upwards of $60 an hour in the oil patch. I relocated here from Florida last year and love it here, Ill never go back to that hellish state.

Nothing special to add.
However, OP, if things get sticky at some point with like a phone bill or something like that, U2U me and I'll try to get a few ATS members to put a few dollars together.
There's enough of us on here, to help out all those who need help, just by donating a dollar a piece via paypal.
Can't speak for everyone, but I'm here in that regard! I was in your situation 6-8 months ago and have experienced a 180. I want the same for you.
You 2 stay strong.

Sorry you are having troubles. Most states are fire at will states but as far as them giving your wife a bad reference there is a thing called The Right to Work Act and they violated it. I would contact the Labor Board in your state and file a complaint. Civil court is also an option since they can not prove she stole anything. You may come out alright in the end.

There's a calm before the storm,
I know
It's been comin for some time.
When it's over, so they say,
It'll rain a sunny day,
I know
Shinin down like water.
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin down on a sunny day
Yesterday, and days before,
Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know
Been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know
It can't stop, I wonder.

Humility in Islam
[ April 15, 2016 ]
Muslims constantly strive to remember and practice Islamic virtues, and put them into practice throughout their daily lives. Among these great Islamic virtues are submission to Allah, self-restraint, discipline, sacrifice, patience, brotherhood, generosity, and humility. In English, the word "humility" comes from the Latin root word which means "ground.
If we are arrogant and proud in this life, AlmightyAllah will put us in our place and teach us humility in the next life, by giving us a humiliat
" Humility, or being humble, means that one is modest, submissive and respectful, not proud and arrogant. You lower yourself to the ground, not elevate yourself above others. In prayer, Muslims prostrate themselves to the ground, acknowledging human beings' lowliness and humility before Amighty Allah-the Lord of the Worlds.Humility is equivalent to submission to AlmightyAllah the most beneficent and the most merciful . As such we as muslims are bound to abandon all selfishness and pride in our human power, and stand humbled, meek, and submissive as servants of the Almighty Allah above all else. Among the Jahliyya Arabs (before Islam), this was unheard of. They preserved their personal honor above all else, and would humble themselves to no one, neither a man nor a God. They were proud of their absolute independence and their human power. They had limitless self-confidence and refused to bow down to any authority. A man was lord of himself. Indeed, these qualities are what made someone a "real man." Humility and submissiveness were considered weak - not a quality of a noble man. The Jahliyya Arabs had a fierce, passionate nature and would scorn anything which might make them humbled or humiliated in any way, or feel like their personal dignity and status were being degraded. Islam came and demanded of them, before anything else, to submit themselves wholly to the one and only Creator, and abandon all pride, arrogance, and feelings of self-sufficiency. Many among the pagan Arabs felt that this was an outrageous demand - to stand as equals with each other, in submission to Allah alone. For many, these feelings did not pass - indeed we still see them today in much of the world's people, and unfortunately, sometimes in ourselves.
Human presumptuousness, insolence, arrogance, elevated self-worth, are around us everywhere. We have to fight it in our own hearts. Indeed, the sin of Iblis (Satan) was his arrogant refusal to humble himself to the will of Allah. He believed himself of elevated status - better than any other creation - and he continues to whisper to us, encouraging our pride, arrogance, love of wealth and status. We must always remember that we are nothing - we have nothing - except what Allah blesses us with. We can do nothing of our own power. If we are arrogant and proud in this life, AlmightyAllah will put us in our place and teach us humility in the next life, by giving us a humiliating punishment. Better that we practice humility now, before Allah alone and among our fellow human beings.

Special to the Times Union
SCHENECTADY – Poking fun at one stereotype after another—including the Bollywood culture that spawned it—"The Merchants of Bollywood," which was onstage Friday evening at Proctor's Theatre, is a sparkling romp of a musical that attempts to bridge the reverent and irreverent, the old and the new.
Written and directed by Toby Gough, the show is choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant, granddaughter of legendary Bollywood choreographer Hiralaji Merchant, and is based loosely on the story of her family's life in dance. The central conflict revolves around the generational and cultural gap between Vaibhavi's stand-in, Ayesha (Carol Furtado) and her grandfather, Shantilal (Chander Khanna), who respectively represent the glitz and flash of new Bollywood, heavily influenced by Western dance and music styles, and the sanctity of old Bollywood, which drew from traditional Indian dance forms originally used in religious ceremonies.
New Bollywood definitely gets the bulk of the attention. Numbers like "The Bollywood Masala Recipe" and "It's the Time to Disco" fuse hip hop, "Saturday Night Fever" and even a bit of bebop, all set to driving rhythms, to create high-energy, foot-tapping sequences that are meant to be nothing more than what they are: crowd-pleasers. As Ayesha tells her grandfather, Bollywood is about helping people to escape their humdrum everyday lives.
Shantilal disagrees—the movies, he believes, should have meaning. The dances performed in Ayesha's flashbacks to old Bollywood and in the scenes at Shantilal's Temple of Shiva are precise and ritualistic, drawing from Kathak and Bharat Natyam as well as regional Indian folk dances. The prayerful hand mudras, measured syncopation and flowing sequences are more related to yoga class than to contemporary dance.
How will granddaughter and grandfather, and their opposing worldviews, be united? The spirit of harmony seems to be embodied in Ayesha's love interest, Uday (the wiry, tattooed Dipender Singh), who serves at the temple with Shantilal but can also do a mean handspring. (Singh's training includes jazz and hip hop, which he studied in Los Angeles.) Together he and Ayesha restore light to the temple and bring modern moves to the old-world dances.
Along with the irresistible rhythms, goofy self-referential humor keeps the show buoyant. As Tony Bakshi, an over-the-top film director (you know the type: he calls everyone "darling"), Satwinder Singh Jaspal does a hilarious rundown of the Bollywood boy-meets-girl formula. Gough's script, with lines like Ayesha's "I'm leaving … for Bollywood" and Shantilal's reply, "Over my dead body!," play on classic Bollywood—and Hollywood—melodrama. Culture references and signifiers collide in chaotic concordance—disco balls and strobe lights, pom-poms, "Slumdog Millionaire," John Travolta, "Titanic." The costumes range from gorgeous multicolored and brocade skirts to fishnet stockings and sequined bikini tops to simple white dhotis worn by the men for Shantilal's funeral dance.
The show ends at Bollywood's equivalent of the Oscar ceremony, with Ayesha winning Choreographer of the Year for her movie about her family's life in dance, and telling the world, "To discover where you are going, you must know where you come from." You can't get more meta, or more satisfyingly formulaic, than that.

It has been a great news week for the fiber arts. Have you seen some of the great press coverage?
Did you miss it? No worries! I've got links for you to all of the videos.
Phyllis gave us a great summary of this article from the Wall Street Journal on Monday. But, you simply have to follow the link and go watch the video of a trucker quilting in his cab. I just love how he talks about his art—such enthusiasm! I think we can all relate to his passion for the fiber arts.
Did you catch Mo Rocca on CBS's Sunday Morning show? While appearing on NPR he made a major faux pas by calling hand knit sweaters "itchy". Some Chicago knitters countered by making him a beautiful merino wool sweater. Were they successful in converting him? Watch the video here.
Earlier this month, the TODAY Show did a feature about life transitions. Specifically, how Betsy McCarthy went from a six-figure a year job to being a full time knitter earning $5,000 last year. You can watch the video here. Betsey wrote Knit Socks! and has a brand spanking new blog.
Thank you to the Wall Street Journal, Wikipedia, and Betsy McCarthy for the great images!

There are good solutions to that in the form of tidy, tagsoup, and the like. Some of them (e.g. tagsoup) turn HTML into XHTML markup. I think we will want to have the ability to handle HTML markup and convert it into XHTML. Unfortunately, there isn't a well-defined "what to do with malformed HTML" process out there. I think we can assume the following: * There is a well-defined outcome for taking in HTML and outputting XHTML. HTML5 will codify this into a specification at some point. * Many HTML parsers have a "tidy mode" that will handle malformed HTML. * XHTML is an XML content type and there is no such thing as XHTML that isn't well-formed. That last point is critical. Firefox and other XHTML compliant browsers won't display XHTML that isn't well-formed. Atom won't allow XHTML in text constructs without it being well-formed. So, we don't have to worry about XHTML because a regular XML parser will work just fine. I suggested we use the media type (e.g. text/html) to trigger handling of HTML. That allows us to have similar behaviors for other content types that must be unmarshalled into XML to be processed by an XML pipeline. Many of these would be implementation defined but you could expect others in the future to be more standard. I think we could say that for text/html content types we application a conversion process to XHTML. This conversion process is allowed to handle malformed HTML in a non-standard and non-interoperable way to create some kind of well-formed XHTML. Here's a couple of questions to see what our preferences are: 1. Do we need a "strict" option that forbids conversion of malformed HTML? 2. Should we have a more general "HTML" section for the steps that details how text/html is handled and then specific steps could point to that for particular contexts? In the end, the idea would be that each step that needs to handle HTML would have some way of: * invoking HTML->XHTML conversion * having options for controlling strict processing, etc. We would try to keep these options as consistent as possible. -- --Alex Milowski "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."

(Item 3 of the Agenda)
41. Mr Baker introduced the topic Using supply utilization accounts and food balance sheets as tools for improvement of data quality by explaining that the Basic Food and Agriculture Statistics Service (ESSB) of the FAO Statistics Division was responsible for the calculation of Food Balance Sheets in FAO. He said that the concept originated during World War I and that FAO had been requested to assist countries in their preparation in 1948. In 1957 the methodology was modified to use averages for three years. The main feature of the Food Balance Sheets was the balancing of food supply with utilization.
42. He pointed out some of the conceptual issues that have been addressed in the calculation of the food balance sheets. These issues included 1) Incompleteness and inaccuracy of basic data; 2) lack of production statistics for all commodities needed and mostly confined to important food crops; 3) information on commercial stocks may be available from official or marketing authorities, factories, wholesalers and retailers, but inventories of catering establishments, institutions and households may not be available; 4) waste during storage, transportation may not be available and other waste information - on quantities intentionally discarded for the purpose of price control or disease control - may be hidden; 5) import and export data may be accurate in the majority of countries, but in others there may be significant amounts of trade across national boundaries that go unrecorded; and 6) basic data on the feed, seed and industrial/manufacture use of crop and livestock products were usually obtained from surveys that were not conducted regularly.
43. He noted that in the construction of the food balance sheets, both official and unofficial data have been used by FAO with missing data estimated on the basis of surveys and other information as well as technical expertise available in FAO.
44. The Development of food balance sheets in Fiji was described by Ms Penina VATUCAWAQA (Fiji). She mentioned that the first Food Balance Sheet (FBS) for Fiji was developed in 1997 for the year 1992. Now, FBS reports were published annually in Fiji; the latest report published was for the year 2001.
45. She noted that most of the statistics used in the compilation were from official government publications and reports of the Bureau of Statistics, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Fisheries and Food Industries and that these data were compiled using the standard FAO FBS worksheet with most of the foods included commonly consumed and widely available in Fiji. The FAO international food composition table was used for this analysis.
46. She indicated that the results of this work had shown some interesting trends over the years. In 2001, a total of 2 928 kcals were available per capita per day. This showed that Fiji had 700 kcals in excess of the FAO nutrient requirement of 2 228 kcals. The trend observed for total nutrients available showed that there has been an increase in energy intake, less energy provided by carbohydrates and more energy from fat. This could explain the increase in non-communicable disease problems, especially overweight and obesity.
47. The regular compilation of FBS had also shown that there was a change in consumption patterns in Fiji. More cereals were now available for consumption compared to root crops, which is a local staple in the country. In 2001, cereals continued to be the major contributor of food energy in the diet, followed by oil and fats at 15 percent, sugar and protein at 13 percent, root crops at 7 percent while other food groups contributed less than 7 percent.
48. The tendency to rely on imported food supplies to supplement domestic supplies had been evident over the years with 50 percent of total calories imported. In 2001, 54 percent of total calories were imported. Generally, while cyclones, droughts and other changes in the weather pattern have had a definite impact on the food situation in the country, increasing volumes of food imports appear to be a continuing trend.
49. She pointed out that preparation of this FBS was not an easy task as it involved an arduous process of data collection. A major problem was the non-availability of subsistence production data. The exclusion of this data meant an important part of the food supply was not accounted for. The second problem was the non-availability of data on domestic utilization, especially on seed, animal feed, manufacturing and extraction rates. The other problem was the lack of consistency in the method of data collection. Data collected by other agencies were collected for their own purpose and not for FBS requirements.
50. Ms Vatucawaqa concluded that the result of this FBS had given Fiji a benchmark in assessing the food situation in the country. However, it was important for data providers to provide accurate data since those data were used for work such as this that could have an impact in the formulation of food and nutrition policies for the country.
51. Mr Biplab NANDI, FAO Senior Food and Nutrition Officer, introduced the paper: Food Insecurity and Vulnerability Information and Mapping Systems (FIVIMS). He gave an account of the subject highlighting its origin, goal and objectives in the context of achieving the goals of the World Food Summit (WFS) and WFS:fyl. He informed the workshop that FIVIMS is an Inter-Agency Working Group (IAWG) initiative having its members from UN agencies, World Bank, bilateral aid agencies, NGOs etc. It worked closely with the partners of National FIVIMS in Asia and the Pacific. The workshop noted that FIVIMS was based on existing national and subregional information systems related to food security and furthermore, it was country driven, user focused and designed in response to the needs of national decision-makers in addressing the issues of food insecurity. The workshop appreciated the efforts of FAO and RAP in particular in undertaking FIVIMS activities in countries of the region like Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam, besides Fiji and Samoa.
52. The workshop urged FAO to strengthen its inputs in Pacific island countries so as to ensure achieving the goals of the World Food Summit besides the Millennium Development Goals.
53. The Key Indicator Mapping System (KIMS) was introduced by Mr Baker through a brief demonstration. It was mentioned that KIMS was a user-friendly mapping system that displays and disseminates maps, charts, spreadsheets, metadata and links to food insecurity and vulnerability indicators and related data. The system was 100 percent Java based and portable across Windows, Linux and other UNIX platforms. It had been specifically tailored for Food Insecurity and Vulnerability Information Mapping System (FIVIMS) requirements and may be modified as those requirements changed or expanded.
54. The workshop noted that KIMS could be used to show who were underfed, undernourished or at-risk of becoming so, where they were located and why they were food insecure and nutritionally vulnerable. The maps could combine information from different sectors to provide an immediate comprehensive picture of the geographical distribution of vulnerable groups at the subnational level. By helping visualise where major nutritional problems were, the maps also highlighted gaps in information, alerting policy makers that additional data collection was necessary. Moreover, once the food insecure groups had been located geographically, a wide variety of other data, relevant to understanding and monitoring their situations could be presented in the form of maps.
55. It was pointed out that while KIMS was not a Geographic Information System (GIS), but relied on GIS systems providing mapping layers and data providers for data content. The software allowed for the importing and exporting of major GIS map formats (BNA, ARC/INFO, Shapefile and MapInfo). KIMS was specifically designed to be a tool that combined GIS maps with related datasets and displays and disseminated the information in an easy and straight-forward manner in stand-alone mode and over the Internet. KIMS had been customised as a tool for national and international FIVIMS partners to help in collecting, presenting and mapping the key indicators of food insecurity and vulnerability.
56. KIMS included global, continental, regional, national and subnational maps at different levels of aggregation; sample datasets (from FAO, WB, UNDP, UNICEF, WHO and others); basic map layers of geographic information (cities, railroads, roads, rivers, crop zones, etc.); and spreadsheets and line, bar and pie charts.
57. The main functions of KIMS were importing maps and associated datasets; displaying and mapping key FIVIMS indicators; creating databases which allowed the monitoring of the different indicators in time, cross-county comparisons and predictions; and storage, presentation and dissemination of data and maps.
58. Mr Nandi presented the topic entitled Vulnerability in household food and nutrition security in the context of strengthening food and agricultural statistics in the Pacific. In simple terms he explained the relationship between food insecurity and vulnerability and the crucial role of FIVIMS as a tool to address the issues of food insecurity at the household level. He emphasized the need to take urgent action by the countries using several national level database systems which take into consideration various dimensions of food insecurity like socio-economic, political, food economy, care practices, health and sanitation.
59. The workshop noted that access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food is a strong determinant in understanding the possible causes of low food consumption and poor nutritional status at the household level. The workshop recognized that FIVIMS could be used in an effective manner to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by using various indicators therein, with a view to ultimately addressing the goal of WFS. The workshop recognized that problems of vulnerability in food and nutrition impinge on multidisciplinary issues, requiring data from various sectors, but identifying nutrition as an important component. Therefore nutritional status indicators and assessment that entailed food intake surveys, dietary assessment, anthropometrics measurements and related parameters should form an important part of the tools in vulnerability assessment for the community.
60. The workshop stressed the need to use relevant indicators outlined in FIVIMS with a view to alleviating the problems of undernutrition and food insecurity. It also recommended FAO to consider organizing a sensitization workshop in SAPA so as to establish/strengthen the linkages between FAO and country level stakeholders. This would facilitate the efforts relating to FIVIMS and its application in reducing undernutrition at the household level.
61. Mr Lafaele ENOKA (Samoa) described the Application of FIVIMS in the context of sustainable development and poverty alleviation programmes. He pointed out that the application of FIVIMS as a planning tool had enormous potential for Samoa in designing realistic and relevant programmes that ensured the timely achievement of its international commitments to WFS and MDGs. Furthermore, the tracking and monitoring capability of FIVIMS would greatly assist the development of national policies and programmes, coupled with a proactive approach to tackle food insecurity and vulnerability issues.
62. He indicated that the setting up of the National FIVIMS also had its challenges - and like most challenges in life they could all be resolved given time and enough support from donors and all stakeholders.
63. Two case studies presented at an Ad hoc Expert Group Meeting on Poverty Mapping and Monitoring Using Information Technology at the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific in Bangkok were used to illustrate the use of poverty mapping as a tool in poverty reduction strategies.
64. In the first case, the Secretary-General of the Central Bureau of Statistics, Nepal had discussed the preparation of district level poverty maps based on the Nepal Living Standards Survey and identified relevant indicators of poverty that had been calculated and derived from these data.
65. He had mentioned that because of the strong demand for poverty indicators at the district level, the Government had made a strong commitment to implement decentralization through establishment of an effective and result oriented district poverty monitoring and analysis system with district level monitoring of the poverty reduction program. One of the justifications for these steps was that the National Planning Commission and other central units needed comparable cross-district data for their planning purposes.
66. The workshop noted that the Living Standards Survey was one of the main sources of poverty indicators at national and regional levels and that, on the basis of the survey results, the poverty line for Nepal had been derived. Based on this poverty line and "real per capita consumption measures, three poverty measures, namely, headcount index, poverty gap and squared poverty gap, were calculated for the country.
67. Furthermore, it was learned that the government undertook subsequent surveys to measure trends over time and to assess the impact of growth; to look into vulnerability and empowerment with reference to the Millennium Development Goals; and to monitor Poverty Reduction Strategies.
68. It was pointed out that the presentation of results took place in three steps - data analysis, model building, and mapping. The common variables" were identified from among the census and survey variables and models were developed to correlate the household consumption/income with other common variables identified earlier from the census results. The poverty data could be "projected onto geographic maps" using GIS mapping techniques by merging the information on the geographic coordinates of districts with poverty estimates produced by the poverty mapping exercise. Finally district-wise disaggregation was used to identify spatial characteristics of poverty.
69. In the second example, the Deputy Director-General, Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, had described the use of poverty mapping and monitoring as a tool to identify poverty clusters and help to reduce poverty by necessary resource allocation.
70. He had noted that since macro-economic growth could not help in reducing poverty and income inequality, the planners and policy-makers were targeting the poor for poverty alleviation programme implementation. He said that poverty mapping played a vital role because it gave visual presentation of intensity of poverty incidence by geographic area. These pictures helped the planners and policy-makers to easily detect the most poverty affected areas and to allocate more resources to alleviate poverty.
71. He pointed out that although the Population Census provided socio-economic data/indicators up to the subdistrict level or down to the lowest identifiable administrative area level, poverty indicators derived from the Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) were at six administrative division levels. He indicated that the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics was working with the World Food Programme (WFP) to combine these indicators and to produce subdistrict level poverty indicators.

I was taking this with carnitine, 2 of each tablets a day after breakfast. Within days, I noticed my belly fat had reduced. I was pretty lean already but had the problem fat that nothing seemed able to budge. I switched to only carnitine and the fat loss stopped. So I am now back on it. Works better and faster than anything else I have tried.
I don't normally write reviews on a product if any at all, but I genuinely think this deserves one. After hitting a plateau in my fat loss, I decided to purchase some of these as recommended by a fellow gym member. Now I have only been using these for a week (2 with breakfast, lunch and dinner) but I can honestly say that my stubborn belly fat has reduced a noticeable amount (Currently around 12%). True to these results, I have only gone and bought another 180 to help get me down for good!! Only downside is that using the correct and effective dosage (6 a day) leaves you with an empty tub in 10 days.Goes Well With:Coffee, carb cycling, tracking your macros, hard training.
I have been eating g these for around 3 weeks now I wasn't seeing any change but at the weekend I noticed amazing results from around my middle (I'm talking big belly not average semi tidy stomach) The sides have cam in my over hang at the front is raising and my belly button isn't as southwards as it was I've had to buy 38 inch trousers down fromm 40 My thighs and ass also trimmer I'm only half way through the pot too wich is even better chuffed to bits with what it has helped me achieve as the weight loss really started to slow up on me
i go to the gym 3 days a week with a good diet. i am looking to loose body fat around the abs so they stand out. am i wrong in thinking that these are fat burning tablets that will help out with ripping ab muscles. i have been taking for 2 weeks with little effect. any other tablets on here that may be better for burning fat and help ripping absGoes Well With:water
In the first two months of using these (combined with green tea capsules) I lost 9% body fat. Was sceptical whether it was just the change in my diet/training so stopped using them for a month and only dropped 3% body fat. Back on them now and have really noticed a difference around the lower stomach. AmazingGoes Well With:Green tea capsules, Good diet
This product shreds fat off of you. With a balanced diet and impact whey protein you can't go wrong. Best taken after food, removes even the most stubborn belly fat. Easy to consume.Goes Well With:Impact whey protein.
I used it for the last 3 months, consistently for the first 2.5 months and then not at al for the last two weeks. I've just ordered some more today. I noticed my toning was good using this with a decent diet, and a good gym regime, but wasn't sure how much the supplement had to do with it. And now I know! the two weeks off it have seen me redevelop a thing layer of surface fat on my abs, which weren't there when I was on it... basically, I've seen more definition on it without changing exercise habits, so i'll be sticking with it!
Used CLA several times over a few years and never saw any noticeable benefits. Did a little reading and unlocked the power of it - it needs to be combined with L-Carnitine. Preferably in Acetyl form. I combined 2 x CLA caps daily, with Acetyl-L-Carnitine powder, 3 times daily. 1) With first fat-containing food of the day 2) After lunch/with pre-workout food 3) The Acetyl-L-Carnitine I'd take with my food post-workout, as I found taking it just before bed interrupted sleep on occasion. 3.5) CLA with my last food before bed. Naturally if post-workout is last meal, I take both. I'd dropped my BF% down to around 18% (female) and was struggling to reduce the fat on my stomach. I track my diet incredibly closely and was running workout plans at the time. There were no other changes to my routine other than the addition of CLA and A-L-C. I managed to reduce the fat on my stomach and saw little reduction elsewhere; which was ideal as at that BF% I had previously had jutting ribs/pelvis simply due to how fat typically comes off of my body/my body shape. It takes a while for to build up within your system, so you won't see results immediately and you need to take the doses consistently. Naturally you will also need to be in calorific deficit, they're not magic beans. Goes Well With:Food. May get CLA burps/the taste repeating on you, but it's nothing horrific. Just tastes kinda odd.
I take 2 with meals that have Carbs in, there's no flavour so just take them with water. Disappointed that they've changed to now include 0.8g of CLA per capsule instead of 1g as the others did so unsure whether the effects will be reduced?Goes Well With:Carbs
I delayed my review until I had finished cutting so I can review honestly. Used this supplement alongside the mega green tea extract. During cutting I saw slightly better results than when I have previously tried cutting without the aid of the supplements. IT seemed to help with the reduction of body fat around my abdominal region, and I felt it aided with ab definition. However this was alongside a strict diet and hard cardio routine. This may not work for everyone, but in my opinion for the price, even if it doesn't work, the placebo effect on motivation and outlook is worthwhile. Goes Well With:Mega Green Tea Extract
I read about these and I started taking 2 capsules 3 times a day. For the first 5 days I had the worst headaches and feeling very tired. I stuck at it and its the best thing I've done. They aren't a miracle pill, but they have aided my 35lb weight loss in 11 weeks. I swear by them. They keep me feeling fuller for longer, my stomach is so flat and I'm now a healthy 9st. Goes Well With:Healthy Diet, Exercise and Active Women Diet Capsules.
I haven't noticed anything from taking these.
Have only been taking these for 3 days but will unfortunately be stopping there. Of course side effects vary from person to person, but for me they have caused intense stomach cramps. I train 4-5 times a week and eat healthy, so it's just not worth it for me!
Really good supplement to consume if u are after a steady weight loss especially burning off extra fat to obtain a shredded look, the use of these alongside impact whey and regular training helps your results become visible much quicker. Goes Well With:Anything
works well. helps to burn a bit more fat, and helps to keep muscles more pumped and solid whilst doing lots of aerobic exercise. great product in my opinion
After weeks of taking 6 of these a day and not altering my workout routine or diet there has been ZERO difference in body fat or body composition. Verdict - Snake oil
So I have been taking this for a few months and can say that there is a difference in my middle section. They do suppress appetite. I take two in the morning with my first meal. Then two in the evening. If I'm training or have eaten more carbs than I should, I'll take two in the day too. I'm finding as long as I train, eat well and drink 3 litres of water a day, it's all good! However what works for me may not work for others so it's trial and error. Goes Well With:L-Cartenine
Been taking these for about 2 months and can dramatically see the difference in my body, look a lot more toned. Would highly recommend.
The softgels are easy to swallow and I've been witnessing good results. But the softgels stick to the walls of the container which is annoying.
I am in the middle of a 12 week gym programme and in the last three weeks I've been taking CLA along with EPA fish oils. My body fat % reduction rate has increased dramatically from 18.8 to 14% in those three weeks. I am training 4/5 times a week and also carb cycling with high protein content so CLA seems effective and gives an extra boost to those who are training hard and eating well. They are not a magic pill but will certainly help if everything else is in place.Goes Well With:EPA fish oils, clean diet and weight training

Last week I mentioned that I was initially confused by the episode, and this week I had the same trouble: the episode structure seemed to be ¾ build-up, ¼ revelation and surprise. That's not a bad ratio, but it makes for an odd viewing experience—and lots of dialogue filled with exposition.
So much exposition, in fact, that Elena had to buy a new diary to explain why she has decided to major in Sherlocking at college. The mystery of the vampire-killed roommate is starting to seem less like a mystery (which I thought would have been neat) and more like an opportunity for the show to introduce a Buffy-esque professor-experimentation plot as well as a possible new recurring character, Aaron.
Aaron is Elena's…dare I say doppelganger? Not literally, of course, but metaphorically: like Elena, Aaron has lost all the people he loves. He even has a guardian a la Aunt Jenna. Unlike Jenna, of course, Dr. Enfield is ambiguously evil. He murdered Jesse to run vampire experiments on him, but he also warned Elena that people will start asking "the right questions" about her vampire cohort on campus.
Will that plot intersect with the Silas/Tessa/Nadia plot soon? That's ambiguous, too. Nadia has a very personal axe to grind with Katherine, her erstwhile mother, current victim. That newly-revealed relationship may or may not be relevant to the revelation that Katherine is apparently unkillable: in the episode's most shocking scene, Katherine was drained of blood, seems to have died, and come back to wonder if hell is, in fact, other people (especially doppelgangers and exes).
That scene was shocking not just because I really thought Katherine might be dead, even as I was exclaiming "Oh, no, they didn't!" It was also shocking that Elena stood idly by as Silas drained Katherine of blood. Has Elena become more vindictive? Did she really want Katherine dead? How will Damon's scheming affect Elena's feelings for him?
But I digress. Silas may want to destroy the Other Side completely, and he is now one step closer to doing so. His wacky shenanigans with Damon allowed Silas to discover that there is an object that keeps the Other Side anchored, and that Tessa now has access to it. Despite all the exposition, I'm not entirely clear on why we would want the Other Side to continue to exist, since being trapped between this world and whatever happens after death, doomed to watch but not participate, sounds miserable.
The increasingly arcane mythology surrounding Silas aside, this episode had quite a few highlights. Silas-as-Stefan flirting with Tessa was a lot of fun, as was Damon's sublimating glee in breaking Stefan's neck again and again. Caroline and Tyler were cute (handcuffs!), but the adorability was lessened since it was so clear Tyler wasn't going to stick around—so clear to us, that is, but not to poor Caroline.
• Stefan: "It doesn't mean that I'm not still brilliant and crafty, and becoming well-versed in the power of cell phone tracking."
• Tessa: "In my day, it was all about lamb. No one thought to cure pig fat."
• Dr. Enfield: "I couldn't exactly tell her parents a mountain lion attacked her at a frat party."
And Pieces:
• It is very odd to me that everyone knew immediately that Elena was Anne Boleyn. When I think Renaissance + murderess, I think of Lucrezia Borgia.
• Stefan was dressed as James Dean. Caroline did go easy on him.
• It seems safe to assume Tyler is headed down to NOLA and The Originals, right?
Three out of four "I'm sorry" kegs? Maybe 2.5? I'm just not sure how to rate this one.

Chelsea beat Malaysian X1 2-0
July 30, 2008 13:24 IST
Chelsea rounded off their pre-season tour of Asia with a 2-0 win over a Malaysia select X1 thanks to goals by Nicolas Anelka [Images] and Ashley Cole on Tuesday.
The Champions League finalists secured the third win of their three-leg tour in hot and humid conditions in front of a crowd of 80,000 at the Shah Alam stadium in Kuala Lumpur.
The Malaysians battled hard to fend off a Chelsea side orchestrated by new signing Deco and the industrious Anelka, who put the visitors ahead after 26 minutes.
The France [Images] striker latched on to a neat through ball from Joe Cole, skipped past the defence and slotted home into the bottom right hand corner from inside the penalty area.
The hosts created a handful of chances and forward Amiral Hadi Zainal almost opened the scoring inside three minutes when he broke free in the area and fired inches wide of the far post.
He also blew a perfect opportunity to equalise before halftime when he popped up unmarked in the box but fired a weak effort past the post with Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech beaten.
Portugal midfielder Deco then came close to a memorable first goal in a Chelsea shirt when his spectacular volley from 22 metres was tipped over the bar by the Malaysian keeper.
Chelsea grabbed their second goal eight minutes after the break when Ashley Cole received a Frank Lampard [Images] pass and blasted the ball into the top right hand corner from five metres.
The match was a stark contrast to the previous two games, when Chelsea romped to 7-0 and 4-0 victories over Chinese sides.
Chelsea's Brazilian manager Luiz Felipe Scolari [Images] said the rugged pitch hampered his team's performance and he was relieved that his players came out unscathed.
"I crossed my fingers to finish without injuries," he told reporters. "It was impossible to play on this pitch, my players tried to play but it was difficult, but I saw some players play better than in the other games."
Malaysia coach B Sathianathan said: "I'm surprised. Everyone thought Chelsea would steamroll past us but they didn't."
