October 10, 2020 Episodeboston-venue
In Part One of Episode 10, new money and new partners have forced Harry Booras OUT of The Channel. But the new regime quickly found themselves underwater as the local mob started skimming 80% of the revenue while stiffing vendors, artists and staff. Harry and his brother Peter try to save the club, but guns and cocaine–not to mention a psychotic mafia member–complicate matters.

SEASON ONE, EPISODE NINE: "Heavy Metal & Heavy Trouble"
March 26, 2020 Episodeboston-venue
Heavy Metal was a mainstay at The Channel. In 2015 VH1 named it one of the Top 10 venues for heavy metal ever. National acts including Metallica, Slayer, Motorhead and Alice in Chains played the club. Locals including Wargasm, Meliah Rage and Extreme rocked to packed houses. Yet expenses kept going up, and The Channel needed an infusion of new cash to survive. An old acquaintance reemerged to help bail out the club. He ended up having some dangerous ties…

Boston Venue: Season One Bonus Episode: Peter Tosh, In His Own Words
February 13, 2020 Episodeboston-venue
Crafting each episode of Boston Venue: The Channel Story is a painstaking process involving hours of research, combing through a ton of archival material. Occasionally, some incredible hidden gems pop up…like this long-lost interview with reggae icon Peter Tosh. Harry Booras and author Kevin Aylmer drove to New York City one day in the late 80's to meet with Tosh, albeit each with their own agenda.
You heard a small portion of this previously unheard tape in Episode 7, "Mama Africa." Now, as a bonus between Episode 8 and Episode 9, we're giving you a chance to listen to the full raw audio–it's like eavesdropping on a piece of history. Peter Tosh muses on everything from race relations to human spirituality to rap music to, yes, the vast difference between "the herb" and "drugs."

SEASON ONE, EPISODE EIGHT: "Nights to Remember. Days to Forget"
January 7, 2020 Episodeboston-venue
By the mid-80s, The Channel was a successful venue. Big-name acts played The Channel in lieu of theatre and even arena shows. The legendary Roy Orbison played his final shows at the club. Bo Diddley and Ron Wood brought their "Gunslinger's Tour." Management increasingly relied on alcohol sales to subsidize the ever-growing costs. Rent was climbing. Slam-dancing was a regular occurrence, as were rising insurance costs. Ownership was distracted with other endeavors, leaving the club exposed. And since nature abhors a vacuum…

SEASON ONE, EPISODE FOUR: "Lawyers, Guns and Money"
July 7, 2019 Episodeboston-venue
The Channel finds itself in the midst of a decade of profound change in Boston. Live music was a major part of that cultural shift. In the halls and streets of power, long-entrenched attitudes and traditions are being challenged by new players with new, sometimes radical ideas. The Channel was a part of those changes, engendering diversity while dealing with music industry bigwigs, rebellious bouncers, and ambitious mob capos…

SEASON ONE, EPISODE THREE: "I Fought The Law"
May 31, 2019 Episodeboston-venue
In its first 60 days, The Channel had a run of winning shows featuring a schedule of first tier rock 'n' roll headliners including Levon Helm, Joe Cocker and Johnny Thunders. But booking national touring bands into The Channel wasn't easy. Entrenched promoters didn't want the competition. Local radio held an outsize influence on the success–or failure–of each show. Getting acts like The B-52's and Gang of Four booked took a combination of balls and finesse…not to mention keeping in-house security under control at a time when Southie turf wars raged and cocaine was everywhere.

Boston, 1980. A hungry young entrepreneur named Harry Booras is ready to make the jump from a gig with an air-freight company into the nightclub business.

The rate at which Gaelic football has evolved has gathered pace exponentially in the last five years if you measure the changes against the preceding century.
Eamonn Fitzmaurice and his coaching team are spoiled with an abundance of attacking riches but also a defensive unit that on face value lacks experience and quality.
The coaching challenge is an exciting one – create a methodology that protects the glaring weaknesses while retaining the ability to harvest from the individual ability at the other end of the field.
Much of the early summer talk from Kerry people focused only on the latter and their impending revitalisation as the saviours of Gaelic football. There was promise of a new Kerry.
A Kingdom boasting emerging stars and an irresistible attacking force that would wash away these teams that dare to defend. Resistance would be futile.
What we have discovered about Kerry in the only two championship games they have played of any consequence is that in trying to innovate they have been caught in their own web of naivety and wishful thinking.
Monaghan beat Kerry up in every way possible on Sunday, except where it matters: on the scoreboard.
That Ulster's great warriors of recent years lacked the ruthlessness in their home fortress to open the Kingdom's jugular could haunt them in the final reckoning but the worries for Kerry are much more fundamental.
Kerry obviously want to play the kind of front foot shootout football. Understandably they back themselves in that scenario against all comers but the reality is that none of the other top six teams are about to sleep walk into that accommodation.
There can be no mistaking the individual quality in the middle and front sectors of the team – it managed to show just enough in Clones to keep their championship alive – but Kerry fall well below the standards of organisation and considered approach of Dublin, Tyrone, Galway, Monaghan and Donegal in gameplan terms.
Whilst the pure desire to go at opponents and empower their potent attacking talent is admirable, Kerry's attacking approach is inhibiting and counterproductive.
There were no surprises with how Monaghan would approach the game on Sunday nor how they would go about what they wanted to do in and out of possession.
Their gameplan defines this Monaghan team and their overall team performance is dictated by the composite execution of their individual roles.
As with any team, you would expect Kerry to go after these tasks in a manner that best fits their own strengths and personnel but as basic as it seems, working towards these three objectives were the ball game.
In looking at how Kerry attempted to cut off supply to Conor McManus we have first to examine how they collectively approached defending and protecting the supply lines.
Trust their middle third to exert enough pressure on their opposite numbers to create turnovers, slow supply and interfere with the quality of passing.
Both of these basic elements of how Kerry expected to defend depended on their players' capacity to go head to head with direct opponents and prevail.
Both assumptions were destroyed in the first half in particular and Kerry should have paid a much higher price on the scoreboard.
Defending without any cover at all is virtually a redundant concept for any team at all serious about competing at this level but that is effectively what Kerry attempted to do.
In the first half there were some late attempts from Peter Crowley to drift into a cover position if Monaghan's attacks were slowed but almost without exception he never achieved that.
In the second period Crowley abandoned all notions of covering as the Kingdom rolled the dice to try to recover lost ground.
There was a distinct difference to how Kerry's middle third defended this week as opposed to against Galway.
Last week Crowley sat stubbornly in front of Galway's front two of Comer and Burke and the middle third dropped off towards their 45 to press.
Neither of these approaches were afforded for Monaghan – which presumably was a calculated decision on the expected balance of possession and danger.
Pressing Monaghan in the middle was a disaster for Kerry. They couldn't match the Farney men's running power and each time Monaghan broke quickly and switched the point of attack they found themselves carrying ball into a vast space behind midfield with either a one on one or two on two ahead to feed.
It is a very long time since Conor McManus has been afforded the luxury of only having to beat his direct marker to shoot having been supplied with cushioned passes.
To emphasise how simple and direct Monaghan's offence was, consider that they have a very well drilled second phase of attack that kicks in when they are initially repelled and the space in front is closed off.
In almost eighty minutes of football, Monaghan never had to set up their second phase once. In short, every attack found space and a direct route to where they wanted to go.
Rory Beggan gave a masterclass in how to use variety in the short term to eventually open up space further out with his kickouts.
In the early exchanges, smart movement enabled Beggan to place restarts to runners hitting gaps mostly inside his 45.
The Kerry front three in particular didn't have the work rate or alertness to interfere with any of this and so their middle third got closer and more aggressive with runners to cut off these simple possessions.
It was when Kerry had taken this bait that the Monaghan keeper was able to delay for runners to hit at and beyond midfield.
This put his team immediately on the front foot and it took Kerry some time to hold Crowley at centre back to close off the longer avenue.
Of course Monaghan reverted to the shorter placements now that Kerry were trying to close them down now with a man less.
Kerry opened with their now familiar starting formation of all defenders clustered centrally for their own kick outs before breaking towards the sideline to look for a chipped get away. Failing that, Kelly looked for one of his big men in the middle.
Monaghan simply created an enclosing arc by marking on the outside of the clustered defenders, giving them the outside advantage to take away chipped kick outs and prime position for attacking break ball when Kelly went long.
Hughes and Kearns broke Kerry's kick outs relentlessly in the first half and the home team dominated break ball.
This was reinforced by the Kerry half forwards contributing very little to this battle against a dominant Monaghan half-back line.
Kerry simplified their approach in the second half and finally got a platform in the game by hitting their midfielders with hanging ball they could attack and mark. Relatively simple but playing to an obvious advantage they held over Monaghan.
Although Kerry finally found a kicking game of sorts in the dying minutes to rescue their championship, Monaghan otherwise removed that option from their armory.
We saw in the Munster championship that Kerry's preference is to pop accurate 25/30 yard kick passes in front of endlessly moving and cutting forwards before supporting off the shoulder.
First, Monaghan stationed Darren Hughes to sweep in front of the Kerry inside line and more fundamentally the Monaghan middle third compressed towards their own 45 before exerting pressure.
Kerry could have the ball at midfield – and often did – but there was no space to kick into.
As an offensive formation, Kerry's is fairly unique given the lack of space afforded in today's game. They tried to maintain a front four diamond with Star on the square and Sean O'Shea at centre forward.
David Clifford and Paul Geaney operated in the flanks right and left respectively, keeping both high with the intention of creating a headache for the sweeper in terms of who to focus on.
As it happens, with the weight of Monaghan's press on Kerry's possession within passing range, whatever pockets of space that may have materialised wide were not found.
Sweeping, Hughes focused on deterring the direct ball to Donaghy initially then stepped out to meet Kerry's inevitable running game.
In summary, Kerry effectively devoured their own offensive space by maintaining four out and out attackers plus their markers high up the field.
Were it not for the obvious aerial threat of Donaghy that required the sweeper's attention, Hughes might very well have pushed out to meet Kerry's running game earlier.
Looking closely at the final eight contenders for the 2018 championship over the weekend, it is the teams that have most carefully tailored their game plan to the qualities of their players that are most effective.
Monaghan and Galway have both tinkered with their defensive structure in different ways this season to ensure that they retain enough firepower to hurt teams that don't bring the same organisation to the dance.
Kerry have gotten their balance badly wrong. Much as anyone would like to carry four out and out scoring forwards like O'Shea, Clifford, Geaney and Donaghy (or O'Donoghue), it just is not feasible if you also want create space for them to profit from.
The philosophy appears to be that all comers can be overwhelmed with an array of attacking football but this assumes that opponents will wilt at the prospect.
Galway did not, nor did Monaghan. The undoubted football ability in the Kerry team camouflages an obvious lack of individual defensive star quality and the absence of a collective plan to protect that Achilles leaves them badly exposed.
It is notable also that previous middle third Sherpas such as Donnacha Walsh have been sacrificed for ability on the ball.
Although Monaghan afforded them a stay of execution with their wastefulness in the final third, the Super 8s have exposed Kerry as seriously flawed in their method.
In many ways this Kerry team, their iconic status in the public consciousness and an expectancy of flair represent a mythical bygone era.
Over the last two weekends they have run into the reality of the modern game cloaked first in maroon and then in white.

We Are the River Valley: St. Scholastica Monastery
By Jadyn Watson-Fisher Times Recordjwatsonfisher@swtimes.com
Surrounded by trees and green space at Rogers and Albert Pike avenues sits St. Scholastica Monastery, a piece of Fort Smith history.
The sisters haven't always been in Fort Smith, though. Four Benedictine sisters moved in 1897 from Indiana to Shoal Creek in Logan County to teach railroad workers' children.
Sister Maria DeAngeli said the sisters started a school in their house, and as it grew, so did the Arkansas Catholic population.
"We were basically teachers, music teachers and nurses," DeAngeli previously told the Times Record. "The music people kept us afloat, because we didn't get much pay in the school. That was our work for many years."
The sisters moved to Fort Smith in 1924, and the six-story monastery was under construction from their arrival until its completion five years later. It was the motherhouse for roughly 375 sisters at its peak during the 1960s.
Trinity Junior High School was established in 1986 based on the "rich Catholic heritage" founded by the Sisters of Mercy and Benedictine Sisters. The school was held at Immaculate Conception until 1996, according to the school's website, when it moved to its current location on the St. Scholastica Property.
Since the '90s, though, there has been a declining population with aging sisters and few new members.
The sisters dedicated a new one-story monastery last year, which was not only necessary because of old infrastructure, but to downsize. The community, as of May 2019, has shrunk to 23 sisters and two postulants.
"Even though it's going to be hard to move out of this building, it's going to be a joy to have something that's new and clean and you don't have to fix it every other day," DeAngeli said.
It will be the home of most members, though some sisters are at the Chapel Ridge Health and Rehab Center, on the opposite side of Rogers Avenue. The 30,000 square-foot facility contains a chapel, 26 bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, meeting rooms, offices, a library and gift shop.
An open house was held in September for community members to see the new monastery before the sisters move in this November.
Money for the monastery
A fundraising campaign called "Forward in Faith" was started to pay for the new facility.
The entire Trinity Junior High building complex and adjacent property were sold last year for $3 million and are now under the sole ownership of the school, said Trinity Director of Advancement Mike Charlton.
Trinity had been paying "substantial rent" for the building and land, Principal Karen Hollenback said at the time. Fundraising and a matching donation helped with the purchase, and the money previously used for rent no longer comes out of the school's expenses.
"This will position Trinity for a very sustainable future, and that's very important," said Father John Antony, Immaculate Conception pastor and Catholic school administrator. "Trinity is not just buying some land in the middle of Fort Smith today. We're not in the real estate business. We are really partnering with the St. Scholastica sisters to ensure Catholic education in Fort Smith continues until Jesus returns in his glory."
Another $1.75 million was received toward the sisters' $5 million goal through gifts and pledges. An auction was held this spring to sell antique items and raise money for the monastery.
DeAngeli, originally from Lake Village in southeast Arkansas, came to St. Scholastica in 1949 as an eighth-grade student. After graduation from college, teaching and domestic work, she has spent most of her life working in pastoral ministry. She stepped down from her position as prioress of St. Scholastica in June after 10 years and directing the completion of the new monastery.
'Like my own family'
Just because the monastery doesn't have hundreds of residents anymore, however, doesn't mean the ones who remain aren't busy.
Most sisters have light household duties, like cooking and baking or gardening. They frequently dine together and stay civically engaged by attending town hall meetings. Last fall, the sisters rescued several cats and had them committed to the "monastic celibate" life (spayed and neutered) before working to find fosters or adopters.
Sister Barbara Bock moved to Fort Smith in 2010 after spending 40 years in Missouri. She has driven her fellow sisters to doctor's appointments, helps with laundry and plays the organ.
"When I came here (to St. Scholastica), it was kind of like similarities with my own family," Bock previously said. "I came from a large family, and so here, I came with a bigger 'family.'"
One sister is attending the University of Arkansas studying student placement and marketing. Another sister is based at the original Shoal Creek location, overseeing the house of prayer and retreat with four cabins.
"They've made a real difference in that place up there," DeAngeli said. "I said your mission is to bring joy and Benedictine peace to the place and I think they've really done that in many ways."
St. Scholastica also sponsors a scholarship program for girls in Guatemala, where women and children remain subject to high levels of violence.

Brad's been chunking along at the cockpit interior parts, including bulkhead #3, bulkhead #6, and the instrument pod.
Two photos of the rough instrument pod plug. This foam and masonite assembly will get glassed, primered, sanded, and polished. Then Brad will pull a two- or three-piece mold from it, and we'll use that to make the external instrument pod hood. We'll use a squish mold taken inside the hood to make the mold for the instrument panel itself.
A pair of longitudinal stiffeners that Brad added to his mid-fuselage.
The plug for bulkhead number 3. This bulkhead goes under the pilot's knees, and stiffens the fuselage and the cockpit floor in that area.
Brad has installed a pitot tube and a socket for an ILEC TE/static probe in his vertical fin.
The mold for bulkhead #6, looking a little less like Han Solo embedded in carbonite.
Looking forward at the instrument pod. This height proved a little too tall, and occluded some forward visibility, so Brad shortened the pod about a half inch.
The Dratec primed bulkhead #3 plug.
The generic male mold for the side angle stiffeners. Brad will make both cockpit side stiffeners using this mold, trim and fit them in situ, and later shear-tape them solidly into the fuselage. The side stiffeners guard the primary flight control push-pull tubes, stiffen the cockpit in bending and torsion, anchor the safety harness lap belts, and absorb energy longitudinally in a crash.

Douglas John Cameron is a Canadian musician and composer best known for writing and performing a protest song entitled "Mona with the Children" about a Persian Bahá'í girl aged 16, Mona Mahmudnizhad, who, in 1983, together with nine other Bahá'í women, was sentenced to death and hanged in Shiraz, Iran, because of her membership in the Bahá'í Faith. Cameron recreated Mahmudnizhad's story in a music video, Mona with the Children, which made the pop charts in Canada (#14 for the week of October 19, 1985). Partly to distinguish himself from new age composer Doug Cameron the name John was added. he also works with collaborator Jack Lenz (also a Baha'i) on children's TV, notably Treehouse TV, where he performed under the name Douglas John.

'Perfect match' – Love Island's Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt send fans into a FRENZY after first date!
Love Island's Camilla Thurlow has been the topic of conversation for many weeks now, and the reality star has sparked our interest once more with a new potential romance on the cards.
Camilla won over the nation with her sweet, kind-hearted nature and after her romance with fellow islander Jonny Mitchell came to an abrupt end after he chose to pursue things with Tyla Carr, everyone felt for dear old Cam.
We got our hopes up once more when Craig Lawson entered the villa.
The Essex boy showered her with compliments which suited Camilla just fine for a brief time, but then she realised she was still hurt by the Jonny sitch. Whilst many viewers felt as though Craig had a game plan, and he was booted off the island by Montana Brown. Eeek!
But now could Camilla have finally met her match in Calvin Klein model Jamie Jewitt?
The pair went on a date in Thursday night's episode after Jamie won the challenge, Going Commando, where the boys had to participate in an assault course whilst being smothered in paint by the ladies! Lovely.
To the delight of well, pretty much everyone, Jamie won and got to take a lady of choice on a date with a bottle of champers, and thankfully he chose Cam!
It looks like everyone is rooting for this one to be Jamilla 2.0.
But with former TOWIE star George Harrison heading into the villa in Friday night's ep we think their could be fireworks!

How a Biblically Responsible Investing Pioneer Rose From Humble Beginnings
⇑ back to "Calling"
8:00AM EST 3/4/2020	 Robert Knight
Art Ally (Homekeepers YouTube channel)
While international headlines focus on ongoing unrest in the Middle East, a pioneer of biblically responsible investing has deep family ties to the region. Timothy Plan founder Art Ally's father, in fact, shaped his son's upbringing and his outlook on life, family, business and more.
"Art Sr." was an immigrant born in Liftaya in the district of Homs, the third largest population area in the Syrian Arab Republic. Located about 100 miles northwest of Damascus, Homs has a rich history. Its ancient cities were subject to several conquerors, from the Romans to the Ottomans. The Bible documents that Solomon captured it and built several cities there (2 Chr. 8:3-6).
As a boy, Art Sr. tended camels for the family during the Turkish occupation in the early 20th century. His father, Rashid, seeking to avoid being drafted into the Turkish army during World War I, arranged passage to the United States. "That was when people were proud to come to America," his son, Art, points out. "And become Americans."
Rashid was inducted into the U.S. Army in 1917 and was discharged in 1918. Because of his service, he was granted American citizenship.
After his wife died, he later remarried in America. In 1926, Rashid and his two sons (Ali and Hamuda) set sail from Cherbourg, France, to the United States to live with his American family. On the Ellis Island records, Rashid was listed as being a Semitic Arab from Palestine, as were his sons. Art Sr. (Ali) could not speak or understand English. When he came to America around the age of 15, he was placed in the fourth grade. Easily the oldest in his class, he was humiliated to have to sit at a desk much too small for him.
Art Sr. had a hard time due to the language barrier, and so he quit school in the sixth grade. Although he was never a practicing Muslim, he believed the only "real" religion came from the Quran, which had been—and still is—the dominant text of the Islamic region where he grew up.
Still dealing with the language barrier and barely having three years of schooling, Art Sr. managed to find work and even marry his wife, Virginia. He worked for a bakery and made about $15 a month. The struggles they faced and overcame were steep.
Modest Beginnings
Art Ally was born in 1942, the middle child of five. He was raised by his mom and dad in a three-bedroom home in a western suburb of Cleveland on eight acres of land. The family had horses, a cow and chickens. "We lived on eggs," Art said. As a boy, Art helped farm, milk the cow and clean the barn stalls. "I went to school smelling like a cow barn," he explained. Those modest beginnings and that work ethic helped shape Art's outlook on business and responsible investing.
When Faith and Finances Intersect
George O. Wood: God-Powered Finances
But, after he gave his life to Christ, Art saw a much higher reason for striving to be successful in business and life—pleasing God.
Although they worked hard, the Ally family spent lots of quality time together, playing all sorts of games, including baseball. "We created a baseball field on the farm and even built a backstop for it. My older brother picked fights for me with his friends' younger brothers. We rode our bicycles all over town without worrying about getting attacked. It was a good, wholesome time and place to grow up. I grew up in a great home," Art recalls.
"We had strict values," he continued. "Behave or you're in trouble. Well, I got in a bit of trouble every now and then. My dad worked nights, so we ran a little wild at times. But we'd be home by 6 p.m. for dinner. It was a safe community and had a small-town feel. We never even locked our doors. People had basic values. At that time, the church was respected, not maligned as it is today. However, we still looked at churchgoers as a bunch of hypocrites. They'd go on Sunday, dress up in their Sunday best, but live like hellions the rest of the week. Watching them, we had Mahatma Gandhi's view, who said he'd consider being a Christian—if he ever met one."
Art was like most teenagers, though he did excel in school and had a keen love for mathematics, especially when it came to numbers. He often referred to this as "understanding the nature of numbers in the universe." Obviously, his love of numbers would play a huge part in his successful career.
One of the most amazing experiences in Art's life was when he and his older brother Ted joined forces in 1979 to take their father Art Sr. back to the Middle East, and specifically to Palestine, now Israel, after he had been gone for 53 years. He had not been back since leaving with his father for the United States when he was 14.
Art's wife, Bonnie, and Ted's wife were along, too. "We arrived at the Tel Aviv airport, and 10 family members were standing there with tears in their eyes—my dad had finally come home. We stayed with his family in Ramallah, where people lined up to see him every day. They had walked miles to see him and his sons."

I'm an idiot. I wasn't taking clomid. I was taking exemestane. Baseline bloods are right before cycle and new bloods are right after. I intend to take new bloods 6 weeks from my last blood test.
Curious... Thinking of getting bloodwork after my cycle of Epidrone + Sup3r-4. How many days after last dose should I go to get the rock bottom T numbers? I'd like to get that number and then another after PCT to see how much I recover. Unfortunately, I didn't do pre bloodwork, because I didn't realize I needed it at the time. If I could time travel, I'd do it.
With test you wait to do PCT because it remains in your system for about 2 weeks, so in that case I would get my bloods done the day I start. With that same logic with Andros you can start the day after your last dose so I THINK you should be able to get those bloods then. At the same time I can't see your levels crashing in one day. I'm in for an answer from somebody smarter than myself.
That was my concern. I've read the andro half life is like 24hrs, so the andro itself would be gone. But I wasn't sure how long for the T in my system to hit rock bottom. Had planned on starting PCT right away, but don't want to start that til I get the bloodwork. Hoping someone who definitively knows chimes in!
These are my results from less than 30 days using Letrone to lower my Estradiol.
Edited: to add data range.
What's the reference range? Where were your numbers before this lab? Are you running anything or in PCT?
This was pre-pct. 3 weeks. with only Letrone.
Right now I'm 10 days into PCT.
Edited my above images to encompass requested information.
Ok, so you posted up only estradiol numbers and nothing else, after running an unknown cycle, and taking an OTC for only 3 weeks before PCT, and we don't have any idea of your pre #s.
So, in essence, that lab tells us nothing. Not to be rude, but I am not sure what the intent was.
Thanks for bringing that up. Please read the OPs description of this thread.
I'm demonstrating how one OTC product helped to lower my Estradiol. I ran it solo.
The only part you need to see is what I posted. AFAIC.
I have posted bloods in my PCT log. Ongoing. Hope this helps.
These numbers seem a little unusual, maybe I'm reading your dosing wrong?
For the first test collected on 2016/09/28, this was after 4 weeks of just Epidrone (Epi-A/EpiCat)?
For the second test collected on 2016/10/20, this was after 3 additional weeks of Epidrone plus Sup3r-4 (4-Andro)?
The second test is total: 7 weeks of Epidrone + 3 weeks of Sup3r-4?
You got the timing info correct. I've been dosing the recommended 300mg Epi-A and 330mg 4-Andro throughout.
The Epidrone raises DHT, not Test. So I'd expect it to suppress the Test numbers somewhat. Sup3r-4 raised my Test by 226 ng/dL. What I find interesting is my Estradiol went down. Had expected that to rise on the 4-Andro.
After 4 weeks of Epidrone (Epi-A/EpiCat), appears your T got slightly suppressed from base down to 329. Without the base numbers we can't say for sure, but it appears your E has gone down to 14. Suppressed T and low LH/FSH can be a sign of high E, but since DHT inhibits LH/FSH and E I could only guess it all went down. Lower T typically means lower E through less aromatase, but it's not a perfect indicator if E is elevated. Seeing how E at 14 is already low, this all hints at it going down. There could be some feedback in there, but it looks like the Epidrone/DHT is winning.
After 7 weeks of Epidrone (Epi-A/EpiCat) plus 3 weeks of Sup3r-4 (4-Andro) your T went up to 554. You would expect your E to go up along with the T and with the Sup3r-4 product and it probably did! However, your LH/FSH has continued to go down. To me this shows the DHT is still winning and continues to drive your LH/FSH/E down. Lowering E raises T, but seeing how suppressed your LH/FSH is I don't think lower E alone could have gotten you up to 554.
On the surface, all these products are doing what they claim.
I'd imagine you've seen some impressive increases in power?
Mostly good? Achy joints? Acne?
DirtyWilly, thanks for taking the time to break it all down. I knew the basics, but you really helped me understand on a whole new level.
Training is going extremely well. Strength and endurance (I believe that's from the epicat) have gradually increased the whole cycle. Physical recomp is quite noticeable. Pics will be posted next week when I finish the cycle.
No side effects to speak of. Zero acne. No joint issues. No hair loss from the DHT.
It suppresses natural production. But I'm still on cycle. The raised test is actually the 4-Andro after conversion to Test.
How long had you been on the 4-andro when you took the most recent test? So it converts to Test -- that is good, but notice it didn't crush your natural HPTA at all. It is behaving as if your body has normalized itself (LH on the low end) and FSH is actually quite high in this regard.
Usually those two values settle at the low end when the body gets enough T to suffice. It usually has pulsations with a few hours of peaky activity throughout the day, morning likely being one of the higher moments for LH/FSH values as well as T levels. Similar observations can been see on the epi-andro blood work as well. I point this out because when I run steroids, aka Testosterone, Tren, EQ, etc etc, I have 0.1 and 0.1 readings on both LH and FSH right after or during a cycle.
Are these products actually bringing results? Are we talking pounds of muscle or are we talking "I feel better" and "more stamina" in the gym?
I ask because this would be an excellent bridging product for those of us that run gear but want to have periods of "health checks and balances" on our system to recover our cholesterol/lipid values, liver, hemo, etc. I might consider running this with PCT based on these blood results I'm seeing here. It almost seems like these PH's are strong enough to be better than natty but not really strong enough to cause significant setbacks in terms of overall organ and blood health.
The bloodwork is 3 weeks on 4-andro. I would say noticeable but not dramatic results. I've been recomping.
With Epidrone, I noticed added strength and endurance. I feel about the same, maybe a little LESS endurance after adding the Sup3r-4. But visibly, I feel like I'm getting bigger with the addition of 4-andro.
Weight is going down or same most weeks. Went up 4 lb this past wk. But when same/up I'm still noticeably leaning out. So that leads me to believe that I'm adding lean mass.
I'm also taking cycle assist, for the record.
Interesting observations regarding the LH/FSH. I don't have any real understanding of how all this works... Curious if I'm naturally low (kinda appears that way, right?) then maybe I'm not suppressed as much simply because I'm still not making as much as my body wants even with the added test from the 4-andro?
There may be other pathways that 4-andro converts to though - not just Testosterone. For instance, something like DMZ doesn't show up as Testosterone but clearly it is doing something in the system. With that logic in mind, I wouldn't assume that the increase in Test is representing 100% of the activity of the 4-andro. Just a thought. Remember that we don't have free T levels on either of these bloods. I wouldn't be surprised if your free T levels are on the rise too.
This stuff seems so mild you'd almost assume a single dose of Trip or Clomiphene E3D would be enough to have the benefit of 4-andro without the shutdown.
I did get free Test on the first one. It was 12.8 with a reference of 8.7 - 25.1. But I saved money on the second test and left it out.
That said, I'm not really tracking what you're saying. I mean I get that the 4-andro could do more than just directly boost Test. I also know the epi-andro is in play as well, by raising DHT and suppressing Test. By how much, we don't know. Has anyone done any bloods to see approx how much epi-andro suppresses?
Based on what you're saying, I'm gathering the tests are pointing to my system being minimally suppressed at most. Which again, I assume means that I'm likely naturally low in Test?
That blood test is testing for testosterone. Anything synthetic is likely not to show up in the test. What dose are you running of the 4-andro?
My question/hypothesis is this: Could the 4-andro be used at a dose that supports healthy T levels (600-800) without causing significant shutdown of LH/FSH production?
If so, we might have found a legal, OTC HRT. I'm also curious to know if what you have is legit or if it's just something that boost natural T production. If it is a real pro-hormone, it would seem that you are getting anabolic benefits of physiological testosterone without the negative feedback of shutdown. That doesn't sound exciting to younger men who have healthy levels of T, but to the older crowd, this could matter.
Dosing the 4-andro at the recommended 330mg in 3 divided doses of 110mg each.
The 4-andro product is Sup3r-4. I purchased it and Epidrone because I trusted that OL and BPS were respectable companies that weren't likely to sell bunk stuff. But I guess it's certainly possible what I have is not truly 4-andro but a natural T booster.
Any idea how much natural T boosters typically boost the number? I gather 226 is a pretty good boost. Not sure that's something you would see from natural products?
I also wonder if since I'm still pretty low, if that's why I'm not totally shut down. Because I'm sure my body could manage to use more if it had it.
4 Andro converts to Testosterone, so your testosterone levels will be elevated if you take enough of it.
This is the same if you take testosterone injections, your test levels will be elevated even though its not your natural testosterone.
Right. We covered that earlier. But what's in question by fueledpassion is why I'm not totally shut down since I'm taking in this exogenous Test.
What's the downside to 4-Andro? Any idea of the mechanism that 4-Andro causes suppression?
Does it lower LH/FSH? Or does natural increase in T, raise E, which lowers LH/FSH?
any prohormone or steroid will cause suppression, even high doses of DHEA.
Not sure of 4=andro effects on LH/FHS or how its caused.
It's the same negative feedback loop that causes most forms of suppression / shutdown. Basically 4-Andro converts to testosterone, once at supraphysiological levels the negative feedback loop signals to increase conversion to estrogen as a part of the negative feedback loop. This should in turn lower test levels to normal via less the conversion and less LH stimulation at the pituitary.
Right, but his LH/FSH isn't bottomed out. Sure, the LH isn't high but it isn't shutdown either. His FSH looks to be higher than what a stable, physiological T level would represent. Usually these hormones hang out at the lower end but have periods in the day where they are higher.
I think the key word you mentioned above is "supra" physiological levels of T. His T isn't beyond normal levels which might explain why suppression isn't bad. If that were the case, I'd say he needs to double his dose for 7-10 days and retake the blood test to see what happened. Granted, easy for me to say when I'm not footing the bill.
For what it is worth, I'd send some money PayPal to cover the next blood test just to see.
However, I also want to say that LH/FSH will shutdown whether estrogen is high or not. If it were merely just about estrogen/test ratio as the key feedback metric, then steroids that do not convert to estrogen wouldn't shut us down at all. You and I both know that isn't the case though.
There are many things involved in that feedback and generally speaking, whether a wet or dry AAS, the higher the value in the serum blood levels, the stronger the feedback system becomes in terms of signaling shutdown. I personally think the feedback system occurs mainly at the androgen receptors - as we have seen with SARMS - even they cause some suppression mainly because they also bind to the androgen receptor just like traditional AAS, albeit with a weaker affinity.
This is quite interesting. I would be up for running a bit longer just to see. After all, I'd like to know where that line is for me personally anyway. This is the first time I've ever run a PH.
I run out of my Epidrone and Sup3r-4 Friday morning. Not sure I could get more in time... If I were to double dosage and keep running it, do you think I'd need to run both Epidrone and Sup3r-4 for those 7-10 days? Or just the 4-andro?
For the love of mike! (who's middle name is science) somebody send this man some supplements! This cannot end here!
As I understood it, negative feedback from steroids that don't convert is from binding to the androgen receptors. However, it's not just the binding to the receptors, it's the competition with receptors between that and your natural T. The natural T levels begin to rise because they don't have androgen receptors to bind to anymore and the runaway T begins the negative feedback.
Can binding to the androgen receptor alone cause shutdown in the case of non-converting steroids, or is only in response to the body's natural runaway T?
How bad is shutdown from say Tren? Tren doesn't convert to E or DHT and has 5 times the binding as T to androgen receptor. Does Tren solo crush your LH/FSH to those low 0.1/0.1 numbers?
Yes, Tren shuts you down very harshly. The signal is strong and immediate, as is for any 19-Nor Testosterone or synthetic version. I think it is most in the signaling at the androgen receptor. Think of Ostarine, for instance. It binds to the androgen receptor at 30% the affinity of Test, and guess what? It has only mild suppression that is easy to recover from.
Similar things can be said about other mild steroids as well. I think estrogen plays a role though too. I think you have a decent understanding of it all and it might be correct in assuming that when the test has no where to bind to, you kick start a negative feedback loop. I remember one time my bloods showed no activity in my LH/FSH, indicating I was shutdown (which was expected) but my total T was 289. This might support your claim.
But then again, the H-Drol might have been showing up as Testosterone as well in the form of oral Turinabol. The other possibility from that blood work is that the Test-P was not completely out of my system at the time, which is likely the cause since it was about 4 days after my cycle had ended.
All that said, I believe the feedback starts at the binding to the receptor. The strength and duration of the affinity is what ultimately matters, IMO.
But we should stop speculating and just look it up - probably common medical knowledge TBH.
I found this really interesting. I got bloodwork done two days after I stopped dosing OL Sup3r-11, and I also used Alpha Gainz Stano TD and caps. I even added in a bit of Ostarine and GW (OL EnduraShred) for the last week and a half. I was cutting, and other supps used were Vitamin D3 (4000 IU), 100mg Forskolin95 (OL Forslean), BPS DCP 2.0, SNS Betaine (2.5g per day), SNS TTA-500, SNS MCC (5g per day) OL Bloodshr3d War and OL Conqu3r Unleashed.
I think I gained more muscle mass than lost fat, I got really off track during the holidays.
1. The high Test number, this is the highest I have ever read.
For reference after my recovery from Trest back in September my Total Test was only 386.9. My FSH and LH levels have never been higher either. I used no SERM at all.
So this is after? That is an insanely high e2 level and an average total test level. LH and FSH look fine, but that T:E ratio is way off and needs to come down.
Yes, right after ceasing 10mg Ostarine, Up to 500mg of Stano and 4 pumps (4mL measured in oral syringe) of 11-KT every day for 4 weeks or so.
I just started Inhibit E in hopes it will bring down my Estradiol, but I also have some pharma Xtane on hand.
I noticed I was retaining a TON of water, but damn. My libido has been super low lately as well, and erections almost nonexistent.
I've never seen an E2 that high before LOL. No gyno, though.
It's crazy. I don't know what this means, LOL. I know it means I'm not suppressed for one.
My theory is that my BF% (25 or so) means more aromatase enzyme. That's why the Estradiol is so high. I just can't explain the highest my test has ever read in the 5 or 6 times I've had bloodwork.
Thanks for taking the time to run bloods! Dude you need a real AI asap! Don't even bother with the Inhibit E.
OTC AI can generally drop e2 numbers by about 10 points (maybe 15) or so and you need them dropped by a ton!
Yeah, it's crazy. I think I'm going to start Exemestane at 12.5 EOD.
I would definitely not take any OTC at this point. Good plan on the exemestane.
Thanks brother. First dose already down the hatch.
I was wondering why I couldn't seem to lose weight, LOL. Damn estrogen was probably holding on to the fat.
I just don't understand why estrogen was so elevated on Stano and 11-keto. Really weird.
Adding info to this thread. To post a little context I will include Mid lvl HRT values. This will be blood work for PHARMATEST C 250 from (pharmacomstore.ws) If anyone been looking at this brand it good to go and legit.
Currently on HRT. At this point in time about mid lvl. Test for that was done about 2 week ago followed by the new one with the off the books dosing. Wanted to run test dose a little higher so this is off the books with my current doctor so I picked up 2 vials of PHARMATEST C 250 I was doing 125 mg M,W,F,S for a total of 475mg a week, but may end of doing just 375mg. Did increase on anastrozole dose to about 75-1mg a week (caps are .25mg each) and for lvls to stay the same w/the way higher test that pretty good in my books but I will be lowering those estro numbers a tad anyway.
Mid lvl test below. Small snip it.
Then off the books higher test does with PHARMATEST C 250 from (pharmacomstore.ws) 475mg a week split M,W,F,S. Total lvl over 1500.

Q: .netcore Sqlite can't create database It is simple and silly.
This is the code:
       static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            using (var connection = new SqliteConnection("" +
                new SqliteConnectionStringBuilder
                {
                    DataSource = "hello.db"
                }))
            {
                connection.Open();
            }
        }

It does not work.  It can't be simpler, but it still doesn't work.  The Internet seems quiet about that problem.
It throws an exception on Open();  Exception is this:

Exception has occurred: CLR/System.NullReferenceException An unhandled
  exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in
  Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.dll: 'Object reference not set to an instance of
  an object.'    at Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.SqliteConnection.Open()    at
  archive.Program.Main(String[] args) in
  D:\projects\test\Program.cs:line 55

What is going on?
Please note - I am working on a piece of code that was using System.Data.Sqlite and old, 'normal' .net
When I moved to Microsoft.Data.Sqlite (and .net core), it protests.

A: You need to reference Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlLite NuGet package for this to work, if you don't and you only have reference to Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.Core you will get this error.

The folks at eMarketer always cover the topics of interest for digital marketers.
Recently, an article discussed the way people are consuming magazine content digitally.
Digital magazines on devices such as tablets have a few shortcomings. Tablet magazine readers express dissatisfaction with factors related to formatting, advertising and commerce. The GfK MRI survey found that 72% would prefer all digital magazines be formatted the same way. In terms of digital magazine advertisements, 70% would like to be able to buy items by clicking on the ads, and 70% would like electronic ads that are personalized to their interests.
Now, I don't think this applies to only magazine readers. Bloggers need to pay attention as well because the same target audiences that read magazine content also read blog content.
And as the study shows above, these folks are looking for more.
I don't think it's just digital magazines that are lacking in quality. I actually think magazines are doing a pretty good job with improving the experience. I think the publications are catching up to the expectations of subscribers.
But there is room to improve as always and the same holds true for bloggers as well.
Audiences expect more these days from all digital content providers.
This eMarketer ad discusses a study where consumers are dissatisfied with the interactivity of digital magazine ads. Blogs that have ads are likely suffering from the same lack of interactivity and personalization. This can be handled well by working with ad partners that are working to improve all aspects of ads. There have been some great improvements over the last few years and even months with retargeting and acquisition ads.
Some people think personalized creep on privacy, but the goal is to provide something the consumer wants to see instead of something random. Ad companies are really getting good with their targeting so if your blog has ads be sure to work with a quality partner to ensure the ads are relevant to your readers.
I've been seeing more successful bloggers incorporating other forms of content in their blogging.
Some popular blogs are using slides to enhance the content in each post. These bloggers are adding visuals in the form of a slide deck and really giving their audiences something extra to consume.
Video and audio have also been something that can add interest and personalization to a regular text blog post. Some of the best blogs on the Web will include podcasts or videos as part of their regular blogging. These blogs still usually include text, but the images, videos, and audio add a bit more to regular blog posts.
Magazine readers are moving toward digital as the main way to consume content. These are the same people that are reading your blog posts and they are starting to expect more from their content providers.
Additional content beyond text will be required to satisfy these customers.
To earn their attention you have to implement something additional like video, interactive material, images, photos, audio, etc. to earn their attention and their business.

An Insight Into Stammering
May 13, 2022 by: user
Stammering is a condition that affects around one in every hundred people in the UK. According to the latest reports on average three quarters of people who have a stammer are male. This article looks into the affects that stammering can have on a persons life and about possible solutions which can help people to achieve fluency.
In truth, I believe it is very hard for a fluent person to fully understand just how difficult life can be for people who stammer. They can of course imagine what it could be like but only a fellow sufferer or former sufferer can really know.
Using the telephone is one of the most difficult of daily tasks facing the stammerer, to such an extent many of them do whatever they can to avoid using it. Tasks which the average fluent person would consider very easy, like ordering a pizza can be very hard for people who stammer. Answering the phone is no easier however the ever rising use of mobile phones has helped as they can now see who is calling them.
Socialising can also be very daunting. Other people constantly asking questions and expecting exciting and interesting conversation puts a huge pressure on people who stammer. Then there is the actual ordering of food and drink. Most people who stammer have certain sounds which they are aware they have most problems with and if for example the drink which they have to ask for begins with this sound, this as you can imagine can fill them with fear.
Gaining employment and progressing up the career ladder is another potential problem for people who stammer. An interview is hard enough for fluent people but is a thousand times harder for people who have a speech impediment. If they stammer they then believe that there is no chance that they will be successful in obtaining the job.
Dating is another area of life which can be a daunting prospect for any person who has a stammer. Even when they meet a woman that they like, there is then the other issues such as meeting her parents and meeting her friends.
As you can see there is a seemingly never ending list of potential hazards for people who stammer and many sufferers can easily become depressed.
Solutions for stammering
There are various different options for people who are looking at overcoming their stammer. These include a private speech course, these can be in a group but there is probably a much higher chance of success by attending a one-to-one course. The duration of the courses can be anywhere between three and five days.
There is also a number of self-help options including dvd's and stammering ebooks.
It is not easy to eradicate a stammer but if the person who has the stammer has enough determination and is willing to work very hard on practicing whatever techniques they learn, fluency is very much achievable.
A number of famous people have managed to beat their own stammer such as Bruce Willis and these people should be seen as an inspiration to other sufferers.
There is no longer a need to accept second best in life and to have a constant fear of talking.<? </p>

This is mostly because it's either going to be really busy, you can't be bothered or you don't want to get out of your pyjamas. I started to think about the different types of beauty shoppers and realised there's probably a few that you guys will all recognise as you are out and about in Boots or Mac. This is a fun little post that will hopefully make you chuckle and go 'omg' next time you go out shopping.
1. The woman in MAC who insists on watching EVERY SINGLE lipstick on the counter even though you already know the shade of the one you want. She's just hogging space, greedy cow.
2. The young girl approaching the Dior, YSL and Chanel counters with baited breath, being too scared to touch anything for fear of losing £100 in one swift move. (This used to be me).
3. The woman in Boots who crouches down right in front of the Soap & Glory display, consequently blocking the products that you want to grab and go. I know they smell good but jeez get a move on.
4. The rich mothers shopping in Space.NK on the regs, like they're picking up milk and an avocado from Tesco.
5. The gaggle of teenage girls in Boots floating around the Miss Sporty and Barry M counters with their pocket money jingling in their little zippy purses.
6. The older woman in Debenhams who's looking at the discounted make up sets for a gift for a distant female relative. Really, she has no idea what she's looking at.


The threat of foreign fighter recruitment is greater today than it has ever been. The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is proving lethally effective in drawing extremists from around the world to their ranks, and in the United States, ISIL is targeting the Somali-American community in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota.
There are more than 40,000 Somali-Americans and immigrants in Minnesota. This growing immigrant community is facing substantial challenges, including weak family structures, lack of education, racism and violent crime. In this mix of chronic community challenges, young people can be unsure of their personal identity, leaving them vulnerable to terrorist recruiters.
The research and fieldwork conducted for this study reveals an evident relationship between the Somali terrorist group al Shabaab and ISIL. Indeed, ISIL has appropriated the al Shabaab recruiting network, indicating some collaboration between the two groups and suggesting a future direct alliance between them.
The study also reveals that two common assumptions about foreign fighter recruitment do not consistently apply in Minneapolis-St. Paul. First, it has been suggested that poverty and a lack of social mobility are primary causes for radicalization and departure. In the Twin Cities, this is untrue. The second assumption is that social media is ISIL's primary method of recruitment; in the Twin Cities, recruitment was reported to always include face-to-face interaction with a recruiter. Social media enhances recruitment but is not necessarily the primary tool for it.
There are several programs in the Twin Cities that are positively influencing the lives of young people. At the same time, there are numerous organizations that secure government funding but do not achieve any measurable impact on the threat from terrorist recruiters, nor do they reduce community crime and related concerns. These organizations are exceedingly effective in passing government reviews, making it difficult to validate which programs are having a real impact based on a clearly articulated strategy. Included in this study are the community's recommendations for what is needed to address challenges and halt the threat from terrorist recruiters.
During fieldwork, the report authors identified several best practices for conducting research in an immigrant community. These practices allowed the report authors to rapidly gain trust, build relationships and gather unprecedented insight into the Somali-American community in Minneapolis-St. Paul.
We are proud to present this important study and contribute to the national effort to protect our nation, our young people and reduce the risk of recruitment to ISIL's deadly ideology. Read the next section.
