Vist our Online Storeignorance? I bet you can not hear the difference between two same power cords ,a new power cord to one used 200 hrs.or even see the difference on an oscilloscope. We are not talking about electrolytic caps here. We are talking about two same power cords...one new and the other "burned" or used 200 hrs...and Now you all can hear the difference in sound? common guys, be serious and do not let other people wash your brains!
I am out!
Make it simple...Make it better!
Very original argument....thanks for the last (I hope) turd strewn on this thread ;^ )
Oh...and BTW, I never said what my position is on the subject except to point out that posts like yours are inappropriate, old and boring, immature, condescending, repetitious, unoriginal and a bunch of other semi-big words.

You mean that used Fluke you JUST bought in April for $160.00 after asking a ton of questions as to which one to buy? I would have thought someone with all your electronics repair experience wouldn't have to ask others opinions on such matters. I know I didn't.if it reads good...it must be a Fluke!

I'm a bit of a non-believer in the cable burn in effect myself, because quite honestly it seems like voodoo magic and I've not expexperienced it myself...however, I do not argue with what one's perception of a sound is, whether it comes from their ears or their mind. In fact I'm quite fascinated with how and what different individuals do/don't hear.
That said I would be interested to see those tests, have you got a quick link handy?

So turn the volume down.... The issue that I pointed out is about when the cables are no longer burned in. Some people say that non-use can attribute, others I have seen say that moving them can attribute.
I'm not debating burn in itself. Simply pointing out the obvious that everyone here that listens to their system with any frequency has burned in cables. We all do.
So hot it burns twice
I was like up until a few months ago, I came to CP with an attitude about power cables and how they don't do squat..
Well I argued with some very Intelligent members here and they showed me all kinds of proof but in the end I had few extra bucks kicking around so I decided to try one out, well I don't know about burn-in but I heard a definite improvement the moment I plugged it in to my amp..
I was actually floored by the change it made and I'm still at a loss of words to try to figure out how it did it..
All I know is I'm really impressed now by the wealth of knowledge here at CP..
I Thank them all this forum to me is the cats ass of informative members who actually know what they are talking about..
I am glad I came here and now learning so much from guys like F1nut, Ztlful and Bluefox, Pepster , DSkip and so many others Thank You
Just wanted to update...I got the Shunyata burn-in cord, and put the Venom 3 on my air conditioner, which runs 24/7 in this weather. Cooked it for a couple of weeks. It's back on the amp, and sounds much much better than it did before. I'll probably leave it there, and stick the jelllyfish cords I picked up (thanks to this: http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/show...sh-power-cords) on the A/C for a couple of weeks, then put them on my pre and cdp.
And (as indicated) I have also gotten a wealth of advice, tips and other good stuff from this site.

......and that's all we ever ask people to do, just try it out. Doesn't mean it will be everyone's cup of tea either. Glad you at least tried and heard some benefits too. That's half the battle in these debates, people who try things out, and those who would rather read conflicting internet articles to form their opinions.
I believe most of the improvement people perceive with aftermarket power cables has to do with the shielding that keeps the local utilities 60Hz juice from inducing noise in other parts of their systems. One other possibility is that the original cable was not up to task from an ampacity standpoint (voltage drop under load) I find it hard to believe that a reputable amp manufacturer would provide a cable that is not up to task. It would be interesting to see if anyone could tell the difference between two of the exact same cables – one that is new and the other used for an extended period.
As for cable burn-in, I'm an electrical engineer that has worked as a planner for a major electric utility for 30 years. Part of my job is to know the behavior of various cables and their performance transmitting power, I have yet to come across anything that indicates aging improves the performance of cable.

Do you LISTEN to any of those cables.....or just look at measurements on a scope ?
I wanted to key in on this part of your post...
It boils down to profit margin.
Yes, the stock power cable on most reputable manufacturers' products *will* get the job done.
But it is a compromise in cost/quality.
I always like to use my Pioneer Elite DV-47a as an example of a manufacturer using a quality cable in lieu of saving a few bucks. The stock power cable is 12ga OFC cable. Compared to what comes on some of their more budget entries from the same timeframe, which are 18ga and a far less "pure" copper.
I would argue that you are most likely not using a spool of RCA 18ga speaker cable to feed a signal to those Linbrooks...

Well I think you guys might dislike what my opinion of burning in power cords are.Firstly it is known that I still have not heard those vaunted SDA of any model or year and was basically taken by the hand and sat down (over the machine w/ Neal ,aka Nspindel) and tutored why people mod these speakers. My argument was if these were the be all end all speakers why mess w/ them.Well 1.time is hard on speakers in both in design and in general use wear and tear.The couple of anologies that can be used in the simplest forms are that there is always a better mouse trap and for same reason car guys mod their machines both for cosmetics and more importantly performance.The 2nd is closer on why most mod SDA and w/ improvent of cabinet deadening, x-over improvements and variety of other mods that bring out the best in again an already 1st rate speaker. Now,we come to boutique power cords. I am extremely skeptical about these cables.I think people who buy these have to hear a difference for the better to justify the expense of buying this cable.Me, would I consider buying these very expensive extension cords and where benifit would be gained more by a a.c.power conditioner /surge protectors.Again I have to go back now and deal w/ a bi-wire application. If I wanted those Vandersteen 2ce sigs the owner of the co. Mr Vandersteen himself implores that you do the bi-wire for a much better all around sound signature.Not endorsing any brand but saying you should do it. Back to the power cord.I think I would be VERY hardpressed to hear a difference. Changing brand of amplifier yes a power cord w/o a listen and just on maybe being frugal /cheap if I could afford it would I do it,I seriously doubt it.If you hear a difference to your liking and it was enough to justify the cost thenthis experimentworked for you.I know I jumped around a bit here but I wanted some comparisons in other areas of speakers and wire.I am certainly trying not to insult anyone.I just have my own serious doubts about this one cable catagory.

Your certainly welcome to your opinion LW, but just like you couldn't understand the hoopla about SDA's until someone sat you down, the same applies to power cords. Opinions are great when based on experience and a little know how, however don't carry much weight when no hands on experience is involved. I know your budget is tight and PC's may not be up your alley....yet. As your budget grows you'll discover other aspects of audio, no shame in it if it takes awhile either.
I know it's stupid to even get involved in this, but...what's my incentive, psychological, economic or otherwise, to put a relatively-inexpensive-but-not-cheap aftermarket cord on my amp, that I paid for with hard-earned cash (I'm not well-off in any sense) and find that it sounds noticeably worse (see above)?
And feel the same way - not as bad, but still not better than what I have, for my tastes - after ~50 hours of burn-in?
I can hear the difference between an Adcom amp, and a Parasound, and a McCormack, so I think I have some ability to objectively perceive differences in sound.
My point being only that, in my experience, power cords can and do affect a component's sound, for better and for worse.
Not trying to be difficult. Just saying.
If you don't want to buy one, don't. If you kind of do want to buy one, but can't (money) or won't (doubts), don't try to deal with your own frustration (money), or convince yourself you've made the right decision (doubts), by going after idiots like myself, who have bought one. And if you've never actually compared cords, then please, do not click on Submit Reply.
(If anyone ever sees me posting in a power cord debate thread after this, please notify my parents and the police. Especially if I'm responding to someone who has an opinion but no actual experience with them, in which case, call SWAT and/or someone you know who has some Vicodin.)

So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
So, who will volunteer to do a double blind power cord test? Are there power cord burn in standards to use a reference?
As an electrical engineer with 30 years of experience working for a power company I can understand how a power cable can improve performance either thru shielding or maintaining proper voltage performance (gauge size). The burn-in thing is marketing, like I stated in an earlier post I have yet to come across anything that indicates aging improves the performance of cable. If it were the case don't you think the utility industry would have documented it, we are after all the authority on power cables.

Why would you think there is any relationship between generating electricity, and audio equipment? I suspect part of the burn-in aspect of power cables is the dielectric stabilizing and then operating at its most efficient. As we develop more precise tools to observe the atomic layer, it will be interesting to see if atoms stabilize into a manner which most efficiently conducts current. Anyway, while we certainly know more now, there is still a lot to discover in electronics. Speaking in certain terms about the unknown is not a wise thing to do.
Seems like you might want to start your own thread. I started this thread to discuss burning in a new power cord which sounded noticeably worse than the cord it was replacing; I didn't start it to argue with, or provide a forum for, people who want to weigh in on listening experiences that they haven't had.
P.S. Someone pls call SWAT and bring Vicodin.

I don't deal in generating electricity I deal in transmitting power over both underground and overhead cables, I also deal with various types of dielectric materials both solid and fluid, I do not speak in uncertain terms. The power cord to an amp is basically the last part of the utilities delivery system. Drink the kool-aid if you choose.

BF was not talking about things we know with regards to power currents and power cords, he was stating that there are still unkown aspects of electrical currents and power cords (and thier makeup). It is these unkowns that we obviously cannot speak of in a quantitative way, because we cannot measure them. If you believe that we can measure everything there is to measure with regards to electrical current in power cords, dialectrics and thier effects on current, and shielding and their effect on audio signals, then I can understand why you have the viewpoint you do. But, perhaps there is much more to discover quantitatively, that at present we cannot because of of the current measuring devices we use. It seems by your statement (and please correct and forgive me if I read more into it that you meant) that you know everything there is to know about power transmission bot now and into the future. If that's your stance, then it seems ti is you who are drinking the kool-aid, no?

"Have A Little Faith! And Everything You'll Face, Will Jump From Out Right On Into Place! Yeah! Take A Little Time! And Everything You'll Find, Will Move From Gloom Right On Into Shine!"- Arthur Lee
In theory, I tend to side with your comments. The power cord is connecting line current/voltage to the power supply of the amp. The cord has to be capable of safely supplying the full rated current of the device to get safety certification.
So meeting NEC/UL safety requirements does not necessarily mean a manufacture is going to use a heavy gauge solid core copper cable...they are going to use what meets the requirement and what they can buy in bulk for cheap....in many cases the minimum AWG stranded wire.
So, in a way I see both sides of the argument but there is also the argument about the outlet, the wire in the wall, the panel, etc. If the aftermarket power cable is "BETTER" than the wire in the wall then how can this expensive power cable overcome the now bottleneck wire in the wall?
Still, at this point we are talking about if or if not power delivery is compromised using the OEM power cord and if an aftermarket cord will increase power delivery? Then add to this the burn in argument. Its a TOUGH argument!
Myself, I think I need to participate in a zip cord vs. mid price vs. uber expensive power cord blind test on a mid to high end system. I just have not got into power cords nor have I personally owned what I would consider a "high end" super detailed system.
I've listened to others high end systems, studio rigs, PA systems, and performed the same songs live in several different types of venues....I know for a FACT there are many factors that can affect the final outcome of the sound rather it be acoustic or amplified.
I spent my younger years searching for audio nirvana in car audio because I thought it was cheaper. I've built some decent systems and have listen to some amazing competition systems. Now that I'm older I plan to see how far I can go in home audio. The problem is...my ears are not as sharp as they once were and I make more money that I ever had but with inflation and a wife and two kids, high end home audio seems like more a dream than a reality. However, I will put something together that is nice given the great used market and I will seek as many opportunities as possible to try out different (Power, IC, speaker) cables and given my DIY roots will be making some cables of my own to test.

" The burn-in thing is marketing," hey! Don't ruin the fun. Still eagerly anticipating the double blind test. This needs to be put to rest now!!!
I started with Shunyata Venom cords on my amps, and it made me wonder that if a $100 cable can make this big an improvement then what do their $1000 cables do. So, I upgraded to Python CX cables, and haven't looked back. The only thing I will suggest is to try a Ztron cable in place of the Venom. There is a world of difference.

What Is James Wearing?
Filed under: Apparel
Who is James? And why should we care about about his clothes? Because James Andrew, a New York-based interior designer, is hip, effortlessly cool (or so it appears), sports python loafers sans socks, can carry off a mint green suit, and wears Gucci like there's no tomorrow. For proof, and to see what other designers he has in his closet, check out Andrew's aptly named blog, What Is James Wearing?.
It's a vicarious read, and even better are the photos. Andrew models his outfit at whatever fabulous locale he's frequenting (he must rely on the kindness of strangers to take his photo) and then describes what's going on in the photo, followed by a breakdown of his outfit. It seems Andrew does quite well as a designer, because unless he has a personal shopper to do the legwork, he has a whole lot of time, and no doubt funds, to spend on his attire.
Andrew has two handsome whippets, Rupert and Nigel, whom he loves and shows off now and then on the site. I bet come winter, when it's time for their coats, they are the best-dressed dogs in NYC.
[Thanks, Shira.]

I was thinking like DCP
This in addition to the DCP. Maybe even add in some Napalm if you can get down into the 10%BF range as it will help to bring out those hard to get cuts in the abs. If you were to go EC, DCP, CLA, Sesamin, and Napalm, that would definitely be considered the KITCHEN SINK APPROACH.
any reason why you're doing EC and not ECA?
Except in the case of fairly extreme obesity, the 'A' component has almost no utility combined with the EC stack.
I would drop the aspirin if you were gonna take it and def pick up some DCP. Especially on a CKD, you will notice good results from DCP. If you have a little extra money to spend then using something like Anabolic Pump on your carb uptake days is a very nice addition. I would only use it on the carb uptake days though and then use the rest of it when you come off your CKD that way you wont gain much back from going back to eating carbs as normal.
Yea I'm really looking into EC+DCP
I see no reason not to include it.
Aspirin is included in the ECA stack to help prolong the effects of ephedrine. Basically as a normalizing procedure the body reacts to ephedrine by producing prostaglandins and adenosine outside the cell, and phosphodiesterase inside the cell. Inside the cell, it has been found that methylxanthines, like caffeine, inhibit the activities of phosphodiesterase. Stimulation of the beta receptors by ephedrine (via noradrenaline) causes an increase of cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) within the cell. This crucial part of the process that leads to thermogenesis is vulnerable because cAMP is degraded by phosphodiesterase. Outside the cell, aspirin inhibits the peripheral synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins inhibit the release of noradrenaline in the synaptic junction (before receptor stimulation). So in other words without aspirin (and caffeine), the beta agonistic qualities of ephedrine (via noradrenaline) are practically negated by prostaglandins. Thermogenesis is prolonged because aspirin interferes with this negative feedback mechanism!
honestly if you feel you need to add something in and you are looking at CLA/Sesamin, try Animal Omega. Good overall source of a variety of EFA's as well as CLA/Sesamin
Controlled Labs Head Board Rep

CONTROLLED LABS products are produced in a GMP for Sport certified facility
I have not seen a study in which 'A' is shown to have a significant impact on the EC stack. If you are concerned about E's half-life, you could cut the dosage in half and go 6x/d rather than 3x/d.
Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord. 1996 Feb;20(2):91-7.
Post-prandial thermogenesis with ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin in lean, pre-disposed obese and obese women.
Horton TJ, Geissler CA.
Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, King's College, University of London, Kensington, UK.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether or not aspirin further potentiates the greater post-prandial thermogenesis induced by ephedrine with caffeine. DESIGN: Determination of the acute metabolic rate response to the following treatments: 1050 kJ liquid meal (M); meal plus ephedrine (30 mg) and caffeine (100 mg) (MEC) or meal plus ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin (300 mg) (MECA). SUBJECTS: Lean, pre-disposed obese and obese women (n = 10 each group). MEASUREMENTS: Pre- and post-treatment metabolic rate determinations via indirect calorimetry. Post-treatment measurements made at 20 min intervals for a total of 160 min. RESULTS: In all groups, metabolic rate increased significantly more following the MEC or MECA, compared to the meal only (p < 0.05). The obese group had a significantly greater absolute increase in metabolic rate following the MECA and MEC compared to both the lean and pre-disposed obese groups (p < 0.05). Metabolic rate remained elevated at the end of the 160 min following all treatments. CONCLUSION: Aspirin does not further potentiate the acute thermic effect of ephedrine and caffeine with a meal. However, the full thermogenic response was not measured and longer duration studies are necessary to confirm these results
I don't think u need anything else.
a good cort blocker or topical would go nicely

Photo from Hotchkiss-Crawford Historical Museum Concrete sidewalks. In 1909, Hotchkiss finally began to replace the boardwalks and dirt paths with sidewalks. This group of businesses includes, from left to right, Dr. Myers office, the North Fork Times newspaper office, the real estate office of Dickson and Winters, and the North Fork Market. Along with the workers are two children playing as if they are helping with a donkey pulling them along. Reprinted with permission from North Fork Valley by Kathy Addams McKee and Claudia Sutliff King. Kathy Addams McKee and Claudia Sutliff King, the local authors of "North Fork Valley," will have a book signing on Saturday, Dec. 8, at 1:30 p.m. at the Hotchkiss-Crawford Historical Museum. The book will be available for purchase from the museum. The museum has a number of other books in the Images of America series by Arcadia Publishing.
Kathy McKee, co-curator of the Hotchkiss-Crawford Historical Museum, got the idea for the book one year ago. The original idea was to do a book on Delta County. But when she wrote down all the chapters necessary for a book on the entire county, she realized what a daunting task that would be. So she and the historical society book committee decided it would be better to focus solely on the North Fork Valley.
She sent her proposal to Arcadia Publishing for their Images of America series in February.
Being the museum co-curator gave McKee a head start on the project. "It was wonderful because I actually got looking into files I hadn't looked in before, and realized we had a lot of pictures."
The authors searched for original pictures in three different historical societies and nine private collections. Hetty Todd and Dennis Turner were two who contributed pictures. The majority of photographs in the book will be new to readers.
McKee worked on the book in her off hours from the museum. She scanned all the photos at home.
Among the new discoveries for McKee were the information and photographs she found of The North Fork Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), an organization of Union veterans. The GAR purposes were fraternity, charity and loyalty to fellow members, their families and their communities. The North Fork GAR post and the Ladies' Relief Corps were located in Hotchkiss.
McKee was impressed with Thomas Blackwell, editor of the North Fork Times. "He was a wonderful editor."
She had a lot of fun with the Lazear chapter, even though it was hard to find pictures there. She used photographs in the book by Thomas Jamison, who visited the area through the years.
"Lazear was really an interesting little town. It had a cheese factory, a blacksmith shop, stores, but nobody had pictures of those," McKee said.
Royden Girling did a lot for the community. Girling bought the Lazear Mercantile Store in 1920 and became the postmaster. A few years later the Girling brothers bought a store across the street. In 1929 his longtime employee Tom Coutts became his partner. The store was named Girling and Coutts. Coutts succeeded Girling as postmaster and later bought Girling's share in the store.
McKee learned a lot about coal mining from interviewing Robert "Bud" Bowie. "He was a delight."
McKee wrote the chapters on Hotchkiss, Lazear, Crawford and Bowie. McKee is a fourth-generation resident of Hotchkiss.
Photo from Hotchkiss-Crawford Historical Museum Thomas Blackwell, editor of the North Fork Times, was a charter member of the Knights of Pythias, police magistrate, justice of the peace, state representative, and a member of the businessmen's association that was responsible for promoting the valley. Reprinted with permission from North Fork Valley by Kathy Addams McKee and Claudia Sutliff King. Claudia King, a local historian who has lived her entire 73 years in Paonia, did the chapters on Paonia and Somerset.
Doing the book made even King learn more about her local community. "It really did help me to understand the interconnectedness of people in Paonia," King said. "Some of the things I just didn't realize." She finally learned why events developed the way they did. For example, she played with children whose parents owned the Oliver mine. She never understood why they suddenly left the area. Doing the book, she found out they sold the mine in 1949.
"All the kids in Somerset and Bowie came down to our schools," she said. "I learned a lot more about these classmates by just doing the research."
King learned a great deal about the mines in Somerset and the surrounding area. Miners were paid in silver and gold coin. "That coin came from Utah and if a specific miner didn't pick up his wage, it just went back on the train to Utah and it came back the next day. They didn't keep a lot of money around up there at Somerset," King said.
King acknowledges her great sources — Bill Palmer Sr., Myrna Hunten Pierson and Ralph Audin Jr. — for much of the mining information she shares in the book.
This is McKee's first book. King has written previously. Most notable was her "Treasured Memories — First 30 Years in Paonia" published in July 1996 and "A Walking Tour" in 1976.
"North Fork Valley" costs $21.99 and is available locally at the Hotchkiss-Crawford Mu-seum, at online bookstores, or through Arcadia Publishing at www.arcadiapublishing.com or (888) 313-2665.
Proceeds from the sale of this book will help to support the Hotchkiss-Crawford Historical Museum, which is non-profit and volunteer-run, and to continue in its mission of preserving the history of the area.

Pakistan tour of South Africa
| South Africa
Morne Morkel, the South Africa fast bowler, will miss the third Test of the series against Pakistan due to the hamstring injury he picked up during the course of the second game. Dolphins' quick Kyle Abbott has been named as his replacement for the Test, which begins on February 22.
Rory Kleinveldt, who was already part of the Test series squad, is expected to make South Africa's starting XI though, ahead of Abbott.
Abbott's domestic form prompted his call-up, CSA selection convener Andrew Hudson said: "Kyle swings the ball nicely and is another player who has earned a call-up through outstanding form at franchise level. He has done extremely well in the Sunfoil Series [the domestic first-class competition] this season.
"He had an outstanding match return of 12 for 96 against the champion, Cape Cobras, and finished the series as the leading wicket-taker [49 wickets] and an economy rate of under three to the over."
Morkel had pulled up halfway through his 21st over in Pakistan's first innings, and left the field. He came out to bowl in the second innings, but managed only 3.1 overs before his hamstring trouble flared up again, leaving Jacques Kallis with the job of finishing his over for the second time in the match.
Meanwhile, seamer Lonwabo Tsotsobe is likely to have fully recovered from his ankle injury in time for the limited-overs leg of the Pakistan series, Hudson said. "We did consider Lonwabo Tsotsobe [for the Tests] but unfortunately he is still recovering from an ankle injury. He will only be fit in time for the limited overs segment of the tour."
Tsotsobe was ruled out of December's Twenty20 series against South Africa with ankle issues, but managed to play the ODIs that followed in January. He has not played any competitive cricket since.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Last year, a friend forwarded to me an email about giving Christmas gifts that kept U.S. dollars at home.
Like the local-foods trend, the email suggested spending our Christmas money on gifts locally made or grown or sold in small hometown stores.
"Every dollar we spend at a small local store is turned over three more times before it leaves. Every dollar spent at a large chain store or online is gone from here forever," the email points out.
I doubt that the email's call for a new tradition will keep Chinese-made flat-screen televisions or iPads off most Christmas lists.
Still, the email had a lot of good suggestions for practical, worthwhile gifts that will keep dollars in the community. They included:
Inspired by this list, we have added some other ideas:

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- When Dusty Herscher took over as the Riverside boys basketball coach last year, he had a clear mission in mind.
His first season with the Warriors didn't go as planned, finishing 8-16, but Herscher is expecting bigger and better things in his second year leading the program.
"Historically, this area has been really strong with DuPont and East Bank having been powerhouses, and Riverside was at first when the two consolidated," Herscher said. "We want to get back to that, and we have the talent to do so."
Herscher gets his first chance to make his mark on the program this season when Riverside plays its season opener on Dec. 11 at Shady Spring.
"We won eight games last year, and lost a few games we shouldn't have," Herscher said. "We expect to close games out this year. We play a tougher schedule that we did last year to make sure we got our team ready come tournament time. We are expecting double-figure wins."
Herscher emphasizes a hard-nosed defensive style of play from his five seasons as an assistant at Capital, but wasn't happy with his team's intensity last year.
He expects that to change, though.
"We came in with a new attitude," Herscher said. "We are going through a transformation period where we are learning how to play every play and be in the right places. I'm getting them to play every play this season. Team chemistry is a lot better, too."
Herscher points to the Warriors off-season program as hope that his message is getting across.
"I'm pleased because we played in over 60 games over the summer, different tournaments, and the three-week period. We won over 80 percent of them so that has helped them out a lot and given them a taste of winning."
Herscher will lean heavily on three returning starters in seniors Marcus Reed and Nick Light, along with sophomore guard Josh Butcher.

RODAN you fucking adorable bear. any fans of the Just dance video games? that's ok. Just dance 3 recently came out, thats pretty awesome. a year ago i posted a video in the Album, a video of Articuno64 and I butchering the dances found in the game Just dance 2. it was fun and made for one hilarious video. if you're not familiar with the just dance games, watch this ok, here's the video posted november of last year. Party at Jason's, good times, good times, cant wait for us to do that again. alright, so i planned on making a compilation video of me playing this game. i have a little over 2 hours of footage and i finally started editing it down, i went through half of it and would like to share the results so far. the completed video will be included in the next weight loss/muscle gain thread update. i dont mind sharing this video because although it shows the progress on my legs and arms, it still keeps the chest/stomach concealed so i don't have to worry about posting it like the Halloween pictures etc. [also i just want to share it because i couldnt stop laughing at it] so here is the half completed, new "almost as funny as the one with Jason from last year" Just dance video, ass shaking included towards the end haha. Just dance, a great, fun workout. fishy, Articuno64, eraddd, Ninahaza just dance party? maybe synre too? and DM? hmmmm, who else? wait, shit thats more than 4 players
Just Dance 3 is fun with friends, but gets dull really fast otherwise lol and it's so hard to keep up and half the time you just look completely stupid trying to mimic the moves :(
I think one of the most striking part of the two videos is how much weight you've lost in between them! Very impressive man.
junior maybe you're just not a very good dancer :x still p cute though!!!!!!! jesus joseph i love that video so much, and it makes me all fuzzy inside that you got so into the game just from my suggesting you play it! ack, it also makes me upset that my wii got stolen, and i can't play just dance myself. :( i could use the fun work out too, god damnit consider this my rsvp to the dance party - i'll give you some real competition. IT'S RAININ MEN -SPLASH-
Second best dance video of all time. First place goes to drunken broads dancing on the skytrain. And help I'm terrible at Just Dance.
Uploaded my no shave November pics before I ended up shaving on Thanksgiving day. Front (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Front (open) Front (close) Side (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Side (open) Side (close) Almost made it to the point where I could twirl my moustache...
Oh thank god Jesus. I thought there might have been something wrong with me because my secret passion is playing Just Dance.
lol, silly silly :). also i dont think i'll ever top the skytrain girls, i'd have to do what Pookar said.....but a recording of me playing just dance drunk is never going to happen Edit: whatever fishy, WHATEVER. i want to say i still blame Jabba.........but yeah, i can totally mix drinks now ;). Edit #2: oh yeah Evan? i bet you i can handle alcohol better than you, wanna go in July? scotty's, be there

Great Basket September 14, 2012
I got the American IPAs for my husband's birthday and he absolutely loved it. He's never tried an IPA before. He really went to town on the snacks too. It came with a red bow that said Happy Birthday to him and I Love You. It is well made and professionally done. I did the fedex 3 day saver and it was ontime the way they promised. He is a beer drinker and he loves the different beers. It also comes with a gift card and a complimentary pair of scissors to open the snacks. A+ rating on the product and service. I would definitely us Gift Tree again.

This Senior class might be my favorite one since I've been a Michigan fan. This is the class that came the year after Michigan was 3-9, so they came in when we were at the bottom of the bottom. They truly are the class that brought Michigan back to the top of the B1G from Rich Rod's first year disaster. I've got some random (and not so random) memories and reflection of guys who played in the BIG House.
Denard Robinson --
His 1st play at Michigan. I was at that WMU game after the Detroit Free Press "Broke the story" about the practice time "violations." It was a very tumultuous time but Michigan came out firing. Denard's first snap started with a fumble, and then a play I'll probably never forget. He took off right, stopped on a dime so suddenly it looked like he might tear the turf apart. He angled left, then straight upfield through 2 defenders who were coming in from the sides and into the endzone. To this day, I don't think I've ever seen a guy run that fast in person on the football field. I don't know if it was nerves, the excitement of it being his first snap, or just flat out panic after the fumble, but that play was incredible. Denard himself hasn't run that fast since that play.
I'm really going to miss that guy. For all of his defects as a quarterback, he could change a game in one play. He never got enough credit when we won with him, and took way too much blame when we lost. Seriously, he made 200 yards passing and 150 yards rushing in the same game look pedestrian. During the Rich Rod era when we were struggling, his playmaking singlehandedly kept us in the national discussion. The networks couldn't stop talking about him. When we could have fell into the abyss of irrelevance in our mediocrity, Denard kept us relevant. I hope we all enjoyed him as much as we could, because I'm not sure we'll see another guy like that in a Michigan uniform for a long time.
Jordan Kovacs --
Notre Dame in 2009, Mike Williams goes out with an injury, and I look up and there's a walk on named Jordan Kovacs on the field playing safety in the 4th quarter of a rivalry game. I look at my dad and say "oh my god, there's a walk on safety playing right now." Little did I know he would be a captain 3 years later. I think I was on the bandwagon earlier than most. That year in our loss to msu, he was all over the field. I think he had like 15 tackles or something like that, and I was sold. I knew he was going to make the tackle when he was given the opportunity, which is something that is vital at the safety position (typically a position that Michigan for some reason struggles to fill). How many big plays has his sure tackling negated in the last 4 years? I hope the next Michigan safety is half as solid as Jordan is. He'll definitely be missed.
Roy Roundtree --
When we need a big catch, go to Roundtree. 2009 against msu, he catches the slant pass in a driving rainstorm to send the game to overtime with less than 20 seconds left. 2010 against Notre Dame, his 1st touchdown set the tone of the game. 2011 Under The Lights Touchdown with 2 seconds left. 2012 against Northwestern to set up the field goal. Other than Denard, he's probably been the skill position player to suffer most with the change in philosophy and his move from inside to outside. That didn't mean he regressed, he just doesn't get as many opportunities. What I will say is this: When he gets the opportunity, he makes the play. His resurgence with Devin at Quarterback is extremely exciting.
Elliot Mealer--
His story is tragic, and I hope his 1st and only year starting was everything he dreamed it would be. Him walking out of the tunnel with his brother Brock against UConn in 2010 is another Michigan Stadium memory I have that I'll never forget. The road to recovery is long after a loss like he had, and I'm happy that he and his brother have been able to recover together.
Brandin Hawthorne--
I'm not sure that we win the game against Notre Dame in 2011 without him. He was all over the field in that game. If I remember right, he made 2 crucial tackles on 3rd downs in the 4th quarter, and many other tackles in 2nd and shorts to keep Notre Dame from picking up 1st downs. I was shocked he didn't see the field more after that game. But I hope he had a rewarding Senior Season nonetheless
Vincent Smith--
Probably the smallest guy to ever see the field for Michigan, but pound for pound the toughest SOB I've ever seen. How many times did he step up and take on a 240 pound linebacker coming straight at him? Against Wiscy in 2010, he gave himself a concussion when a linebacker was coming in on a blitz for Denard untouched. Vince stepped in and stoned him, knocking himself silly in the process but protecting his quarterback nonetheless. His catch against ND on the throwback screen is another thing I'll remember him for. The play really wasn't blocked that well except for Roundtree to spring him. Vince did that pretty much on his own, making guys miss and breaking an arm tackle or 2. The buildup of noise from catch to endzone was a surreal sound. A lot of guys stepped up to win that game and Vince was one of them.
Kenny Demens--
Don't have a ton of memories from him, but this Northwestern game. Wow. After giving up the go ahead TD in the 4th quarter, in overtime Demens makes the stops on 3rd and short and 4th and short to seal the deal. His tackle on that 4th down stop was EPIC.
Senior Day is always a bittersweet day for me. I love to see these guys wrap up their Michigan and college careers and move on to bigger and better things, hopefully better men for the experience. But it's always sad to know you'll never see these guys strap on the winged helmet in the Big House again. Over 4 years, you watch them grow and evolve and finally, their senior year they get to leave their stamp on the program as leaders of the team. Then, all of a sudden they're gone. Like I said, I remember alot of these plays like they happened yesterday. I remember exactly where I was, how I reacted, standing and cheering for Denard's first TD run or Roundtree's Notre Dame or Northwestern catches. Realizing you won't have a chance to see it again is a pretty sad feeling.
This Senior class gave us alot of memories. Finishing their careers 14-0 at home the last 2 seasons and getting a chance to go to the BCS their Junior years while still being in the hunt for the B1G title this year after the debacle that was their first season and semi less severe debacle that was their sophomore year...it's incredible and I'm tremendously happy for all these guys. Thank you seniors of Team 133.

I saw Denard's first play and immediately texted my buddy and said "Holy ****, this kids is fast". I also said the team looked very good and was "clicking on all cylinders". Little did I know
I think a little tear welled up yesterday when they showed Denard's clips in the Senior tribute video.
Great write up OP. I am proud of how well these seniors fought to restore some pride in Michigan football. I followed this group closer than any team since I was at school and couldn't be happier for them.
Awink2 said...
I was at the UCONN game in 2010, and I'm not sure if there was a dry eye in the stadium when Mealer walked out on the field with his brother
I took my girlfriend at the time who had never been to a football game. I showed her the ESPN special before we went to the game and she was crying her eyes out during the walk.
I'm so glad Denard was healthy enough to play in this game. I want to see him go out on top, and I'd love to see him score at least one TD against OSU.
However, Borges needs to slightly adjust his game plan - Denard can't line up at QB unless Gardner's also on the field. It was painfully apparent by the end of the Iowa game that Denard can't throw, and I trust the OSU coaches to get their guys to be ready to sell-out for the run a lot better than the Iowa D did.

Nearly all 19 public works employees turned out to see if Tuskegee city council members were going to listen to their demand of a raise. And they did, voting unanimously to raise the average base hourly rate from $7.72 to $8.50. They also voted in favor of the increase going into effect the next pay period.
"It was long overdue for it. Now is the time. We have achieved what we wanted so I feel pretty good about it," Tuskegee service maintenance worker Dontae Brown said.
Brown says the raise will take him from around $16,000 a year to $18,400. He says it took a strike to get the raise and he's grateful for the council's decision.
"And hopefully in the near future, we can get the rest of it and that way you won't even anybody wanting to disregard or leave their job," Brown said.
Brown is referring to the 15% reduction in pay city employees were already feeling. Many have had 5 percent of the pay restored, but the street and sanitation workers have been at the bottom of the pay scale for years.
"The sanitation workers will get the 15% once it is done plus, what we have done today, which gives them the kind of salaries and benefits commerciale to all the employees in the city and compared to what they receive in other cities our size," Tuskegee mayor Johnny Ford said.
Raising the public works employee hourly rate will cost an additional $18,000. Mayor Ford says that money will come from the general budget. Ford says the city can afford to pay for the increase.
During the special called meeting, council members also voted to purchase two vans for the senior citizen program. The state will pay 80 percent of the costs.

Chrome Truk Pro Men's Shoes $94.95
Your needs shouldn't be compromised by comfort.
Stiff and slick carbon-soled cycling shoes have their place, but running errands around town isn't one of them. That's why Chrome's Truk Pro Shoes strike a balance with comfortable, SPD-compatible shoes. So, when riding to the bar becomes equally important to racing, you won't be slipping around the floor or destroying your precious carbon.
Chrome's Truk Pro shoes are made from an almost identical fabric to what's used in its messenger bags — 1000 denier Cordura. As you probably know, this stuff is strong — like we've had the same Chrome bag for nine years strong. And aside from the upper material selection, Chrome made the whole shoe resilient to the day-to-day thrashings of urban riding. The sole is made from ultra-durable vulcanized rubber, and its also been made skid-resistant for riding or walking in all weather conditions. For the construction, Chrome used a board lasted sole to stiffen up the shoes and to eliminate the threat of hot spots.
Outside of Truk's commuter advantages, Chrome made them to be durable. The heel is protected from potential bails by a rubber heel cup, and the midsole is reinforced with a nylon/glass fiber shank. Truk's low-profile also makes it easy to get in and out of most SPD-compatible pedals.
The Chrome Truk Pro Shoes are compatible with most two-hole SPD cleats. They're available in odd and even sizes from 5.0 through 13.0 and in the colors Black and Grey.

I am new to clip pedals and cleats and I was wondering what type of pedal would be compatible to this shoe. The shoe is 2-Hole MTB Compatible. I am not entirely sure what that means. If anyone could help, that would be great.
David Thiel
Member since
There are a few different options for you, but the most common type of pedal that you are looking for is called an SPD pedal (note: NOT "SPD-SL")
Here's a link to Backcountry's selection of SPD pedals (but do note that some "SPD-SL" pedals are included in this page... you should ignore them!)
Don't be afraid of the cheaper models of SPD pedal: they are still rock solid.

Male Extra is one of the best male enhancement pills that can help men better their sexual performance.
New Delhi, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/21/2014 -- Though erectile dysfunction is highly common among men, it is not a death sentence. Remedies exist and natural pills can do wonders to improve erections hardness and boost staying power.
A couple of drugs have been launched over the past few decades that can help men get over ED but most of them are known to have serious side effects and should not be taken without consulting a doctor. Natural male enhancement pills seem like a better alternative since they are safe and free of side effects too. Besides, they can be ordered discreetly online.
Male Extra is one of the best natural male enhancement pills that is made with clinically proven ingredients. What sets it apart from other competing brands is that it contains pomegranate ellagic acid that is known to ensure very quick results by increasing nitric oxide production in the body.
Nitric oxide is the vassolidator that helps dilate blood vessels so that more blood can flow into the erectile tissue.
"Male Extra is the best alternative to ED drugs since it is natural and free of side effects. Though it works slowly by building body's reserves over time, it is far safer. It has been used by thousands of men over the past few years and has been getting a lot of positive user reviews" says a PeDiscovered.com spokesperson.
Some of the main points highlighted in Male Extra Review done by PeDiscovered.com include the following:
- 100% natural formulation
- Comprises of pomegranate ellagic acid which is clinically proven to enhance nitric oxide in the body
- Helps boost libido and ensures harder erections
- Best results in when used for 5-6 months
- Helps increased ejaculatory power too
- No known side effects
- Highly positive user reviews
- Complete money back guarantee
- Reasonably priced with good discount offers
"Male Extra is far better than most of the competing brands. A highly recommended product for men who suffer with erectile dysfunction" says a PeDiscovered.com spokesperson.

The combination of faculty, facilities, equipment, and esprit de corps make the Department of Physical Therapy's Human Biomechanics & Physiology Laboratory (HBAPL) the finest facility of its type in the world!
The faculty that work within this facility are from multiple disciplines including physical therapy, biomechanics, physiology, exercise science, and athletic training, to name a few. They are gathered together under one umbrella called the Institute for Human Health and Sports Science. As a team, they are all committed to the highest quality teaching, to research that prevents injury, and to clinical care that restores movement and function and helps active people reach new heights! Caring, collaborative, and dedicated, the faculty of the Lab and Institute invite you to learn a little more about each of us by clicking on the "Researchers" tab below.
The HBAPL consists of 13,500 square feet of awe-inspiring research, teaching, and clinical space. Although the area is specifically designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, a presentation of the space is simplified when thinking about components of the lab. The centerpiece of the lab is our biomechanics area. This biomechanics area consists of a large, open space surrounded by 24 motion capture cameras and featuring 3 force plates and an instrumented treadmill. In addition, the biomechanics area boasts truly unique functional motion capture areas with a golf simulator, turf field, and wooden court surface.
As great as the biomechanics area is, the physiology component of the lab is equally impressive. The physiology space is highlighted by the environmental chamber which allows researchers to reproduce extreme conditions in temperature (above 100 degrees F and below freezing), humidity (up to 95%), and elevation (up to 14,000 ft above sea level). Physiology also has a wet lab, some of the most unique treadmills in the world, metabolic carts, a wireless EMG for tracking muscle activity, and a DEXA scanner, the most accurate way to perform body fat analysis.
Last but never least, the clinical component provides clients of Targeted Enhanced Athletic Movement (TEAM) and H2S2 research subjects with access to private and semi-private treatment areas and a strength and conditioning area that concentrates on fun and unique ways to prevent injury, improve performance, or rehabilitate from injury.
The term "state-of-the-art" does not quite do our equipment justice. here is a brief list of some of the equipment available to faculty, students, and collaborators of H2S2:
