We propose a variant of the KKLT (A)dS flux vacuum construction which doesnot require an antibrane to source the volume modulus. The strategy is to findnonzero local minima of the no-scale potential in the complex structure anddilaton directions in moduli space. The corresponding no-scale potentialexpanded about this point sources the volume modulus in the same way as doesthe antibrane of the KKLT construction. We exhibit explicit examples of suchnonzero local minima of the no-scale potential in a simple toroidal orientifoldmodel.Comment: 11 pages, harvmac big. v2: trivial typos fixe
