We were fortunate enough to have been given a chance by Seasonic to review their M12-II 520w Bronze psu. This unit is basically an upgraded M12-D that promises 80+ Bronze levels of efficiency (the psu name already implies this!) coupled with an excellent value-for-money proposition.
Before we Begin
This review is limited in many respects. As such, we have decided to make one that an average tech fan at home can try using equipment that is easily available to him. Here are some of the limitations:
» Testing has been limited to voltage fluctuation resulting from the introduction of load while subjecting the test unit to air intake temperatures that are typical of a home computer; i.e. 40 degrees celcius. The local distro had been kind enough to lend us a hotbox just for this purpose!
» Efficiency testing was not carried out with the provided wattmeter because we believed that the readings obtained by Hardware Secrets using their professional equipment were far more accurate. We were forced to test the psu using a test rig with only a load of 299w because nobody wanted to lend us a monster video card.
» We couldn't afford to make a resistive load tester mainly because we can't afford one and that the average Juan or Pedro doesn't have the know-how to make one in the first place.
» Except for the purpose-built hotbox and Omni wattmeter that Seasonic's distro lent us, the testing equipment was limited to a basic power-hungry rig and a cheap off-the-rack multi-tester from your friendly neighborhood electronics store
What did we use to load the psu? It was not a pretty picture, but it got the job done.
1. Intel Pentium D 940 3.4Ghz procie
The Seasonic M12-II Bronze 520 W is a surprisingly compact power supply with nearly the same dimensions as my TT Purepower RX 500w. It uses a 120 mm fan on its bottom and has an active PFC circuit.
It features a hybrid modular cabling system as opposed to full-modular systems used on most high-end modular psu's. This only means that not all the cables are detachable. All cables have nylon protections, that come from inside the power supply housing. The modular cables are likewise sleeved and are of good length. All cables use 18 AWG wires, which is the minimum recommended.
Comparing the cables to the S12-II 520w, they have exactly the same connectors save for the molex to floppy adapter cable that was provided for good measure. The cables included are:
1. Main motherboard cable with a 20/24-pin connector (hardwired).
See that little piece of white paper in the box? The distro was kind enough to include information on how to get in touch with them for any concerns regarding their products as well as instructions on how to avail of their RMA services! Talk about great service!
Modular versus Non-Modular?
Looking at the picture above gives you an idea what a modular psu looks like with all of the cables plugged in. Some people prefer the cleaner look of a non-modular psu because the wires are all at one side. But it is undeniably nice to have the option of only attaching the cables that you need when you need them. This is really where the allure of having a modular psu comes in.
A look inside
The insides are practically the same with the S12-II 520w Bronze..
The main differences are the slightly longer housing and the modular cabling pcb that you can see at the top-left of the picture.
Want to know why Seasonic psu's are quiet yet cool running? This guy is the reason! Coupled with a good fan-control program, these guys are hard to beat! If you get the chance to buy an ADDA fan from an aftermarket reseller, don't let it slip by you!
I have seen many the underside of a generic psu. I have also seen many true-rated psu and I have to say that this is nice and clean! Where's the like button?
And here is added proof that the S12-II 520w and the M12-II 520w use the same internals. If you have the time later, you can compare this from the picture in Gabriel Torres et. al.'s review that can be found in the internet.
See those yellow wires all soldered to the same spot on the pcb? This means that this psu is a single rail and not a multi-rail psu. What's the difference? A multi-rail psu has overcurrent protection shunts that limit the amount of current that each rail can handle while a single rail psu has all the power going through a single line that may or may not have overcurrent protection.
Here's what Gabriel Torres of Hardware Secrets has to say on this: "In summary, the single rail design has as advantage the power supply not shutting down if you are below the PSU maximum current capacity, however in a case of overload of a component due to a malfunction the PSU won't probably shut down as it will "think" that it is running inside the specs (it will shut down only if the component pulls more than the PSU total capacity -- i.e. the single rail capacity).
Here's a shot of the psu in the toasty confines of our hotbox.
The hotbox we used makes use of a 100w lamp that heats up the inside of the box to the precise temperature that we had previously set in the installed controller.
Testing Results
By the way, we first took the NO LOAD readings of the voltages from the psu after we brought it to life using the paperclip method. After that, we put it inside the hotbox then hooked it up to our test rig and fired up the system. We then ran Furmark on our test rig to force the system to run at full blast. At this point, we took the voltage readings that you see below.
Once we got to testing, we were both happy and sad. Happy to report that the psu easily handled everything and sad to note that we didn't have enough to throw at the psu we had before us. Despite running furmark on our test rig, the psu's voltages barely dropped.
We made sure that the psu was toasty inside the hotbox. The box's temperature controller noted that the psu was taking in 40 degree air but the fan did not even reach full speed despite our best efforts. It was barely audible all throughout the test.
Looking at the data below, its easy to see that during the test, the 12v rail went down 0.4% from 12.27v to 12.22v. The 5v rail on the other hand went down 1.16% from 5.16v to 5.10v. The 3.3v rail did not even budge at all compared to the other two. In any case, these voltages are still well above the minimum required.
I really wished we could have done more with this review. I was sad to note that we were not even able to stress this psu at all despite our best efforts. In real-world situations, this would clearly mean that the average Juan would be hard-pressed to stress out a good true-rated 500w psu like this one. He would really need a lot of money and hardware just to give this unit a good workout.
And in real-world situations, this also means that a 500w psu is more than adequate for the average Juan or Pedro. I daresay that a GTX295 or a HD3870 X2 would be an even match for this psu. Now if only someone would be nice enough to lend one to us so we could do this test over.. Wink! Wink!
The Seasonic M12-II 520w Bronze is a wonderful psu. Despite our best efforts to stress it out, all we could manage was a 0.4% drop in the +12v rail and 1.16% in the 5v rail.
Although this unit is not exactly cheap and not without solid competitors in its market segment, it should still be noted that this unit presents an excellent value proposition because of its 5-year local distro warranty. Mind you that this is an entry-level modular psu that comes with a warranty that's normally reserved for mid-to-high end units! Most of its competitors could only muster a 3-year warranty at most. Even then, they don't offer a FULL local warranty for their units!
The only thing that would normally hold a person back from buying one of these units is the fact there is almost no difference in performance between the M12-II 520w Bronze and the S12-II 520w Bronze because of their near-identical internal makes. And the cost of going modular is about PhP550.00 for the same level of performance. But for the discerning buyer who knows what he wants, such a price difference is a trivial matter; he will buy it because it's the best 500w modular psu for his money.
I have to admit that I am impressed with this unit. It was really hard to find fault with it in the first place. My only gripe is with the confusing dual-rail wattage rating on the label. Maybe Seasonic could address this matter somehow?
Before I close this review, let me present an excerpt from the Hardware Secrets review of the Seasonic S12-II 520w Bronze:
"Seasonic S12II Bronze 520 W is an excellent power supply. It passed with flying colors in our tests: efficiency between 82.4% and 86.5%, voltages closer to their nominal voltages than required (3% voltage regulation instead of the standard 5%) and ultra-low noise and ripple levels. Plus we could pull up to 588 W from it with efficiency still at 81.7%."
If the above excerpt gave you a lust for more info regarding the performance of M12-II's sibling, you might want to go and visit Hardware Secrets and look for their review of the Seasonic S12-II 520w Bronze. The main differences lie mainly in the fact that the M12-II is modular while the S12-II is not. Although I'm sure that the larger housing and the modular connector pcb will lead the M12-II Bronze to have a different airflow than its non-modular sibling, I'm inclined to think that the difference would be negligible.

Push Notification vs Text Message
Asked on Jun 20, 2013 - 17:33 UTC
I'm thinking about upgrading to premium account but I have a quick question.
Are the notifications on the iPhone just simply a text message or is it a true iOS notification for the mobile app?
All responses
Replied on Jun 20, 2013 - 17:46 UTC
Hello James,
Thank you for contacting us. The push notifications use the device's own notification system so it's not an SMS message, you will actually have a notification/alert which you can respond to by unlocking your phone (which will open the Todoist app) or ignore it and it will remain in the phone's notification area.
Best regards,
Replied on Jun 20, 2013 - 17:46 UTC
Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it.

Dublin, Ireland (PRWEB) March 15, 2013
Over the last decade, genomics and proteomics have been used as key tools to discover potential drug targets and to better understand the complexities of biology. To balance research in these areas, metabolomics, a new science is evolving for analyzing the basic metabolic changes taking place in a living organism. Metabolomics is thus an emerging concept which refers to the systematic study of the distinctive chemical fingerprints generated in a particular cellular process.
The Global Metabolomics market is showing a double digit growth (CAGR 35%) due to supportive factors such as, (i) increased willingness of biotechnology and pharma companies to adopt metabolomics concept to drive R&D activity within the industry, (ii) rapid growth of metabolomics data analysis softwares and solutions, and (iii) the advancement of analytical technologies. Metabolomics is used in the identification of new biomarkers, which indicate a change in the physiological state of a cell or tissue. Biomarker screening is important in the process of new drug discovery, and is also a key in vitro diagnostics tool. Additionally it is also being used for environmental toxicology screening. While, there are major concerns of this market such as the validation challenges, the positive aspects may very well offset the market restraints to aid the market grow at an exceptional rate.
This report covers the market by disease indications along with the applications and metabolite profiling for biomarker discovery applications. In addition, it also includes the factors driving and restraining the market and covers the market scenario in the U.S., Europe, Asia and the Rest of the World (ROW). This report will provide the company profiles of key companies along with the competitive analysis.

On Wednesday, the New Hampshire Senate is scheduled to vote on a bill which would decriminalize marijuana possession up to one half ounce, making a first offense punishable by a $250 fine.
However, a Senate committee is recommending that the Senate kill the bill. In addition, Governor John Lynch has vowed to veto the measure, should it be approved by Senate.
In addition to the $250 fine for first offenses, the measure would make second offense possession of up to one half ounce marijuana a $500 fine, and additional offenses would be considered misdemeanors which could incur a $1,000 fine and/or a year in jail.
Based on the Governor's prior statements, it does not seem likely that this measure will be passed into law this year.

This can be an extremely tax-efficient method of making a gift, because retirement plan assets may be subject to both estate tax and income tax before an individual beneficiary (other than a spouse) can receive them after your death. The combined taxes may reduce the amount to the individual beneficiary by as much as 75 percent.

The New York Knicks have been blessed with an extremely deep team – even Mike D'Antoni stretched his usual 8-9 man rotation – but with the playoffs starting, the rotation will shrink… The question is, who will make the cut?
How The Knicks Can Beat the Heat
No more paying attention to Bucks, Sixers and Magic games. No more trying to figure out who the first round opponent will be. The playoffs have arrived and the team the Knicks hoped to model when they first signed Amar'e Stoudemire in 2010 is the opponent: The Miami Heat.
Three Man Weave: Magic, Sixers, Bucks and the East Playoffs
After last night's exhibition against the Wizards, the Knicks record improved to 31-28. A Sixers (31-28) loss moved the Knicks back into seventh in the Eastern Conference and an Orlando (34-25) loss left the 'Bockers three games behind for the sixth seed. They remain two games ahead of the Bucks, who defeated the Pistons last… More
Knicks vs Celtics: Game 4
This afternoon, the New York Knicks will face off against the Boston Celtics in a win or go home game 4. This could be it. The final game of this season. A season where we were written off right from the start, a season that involved bringing two superstars to the Knicks. It could all… More
Knicks vs. Celtics: Game 2
Tonight, the New York Knicks will face off against the Boston Celtics in game two of the seven game series. The Knicks lost the first game by a score of 87-85. Although the Knicks blew their chance to grab a hold of the series all the Knicks need to do is win Game 2 to… More

Knicks vs Celtics: Game 1
Tonight, the New York Knicks will face off against the Boston Celtics in game one of a seven game playoff series. I'm expecting this to be a gritty, hard-fought, and overall exciting series. Obviously this series will depend on the play of Boston and New York's big threes. If Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire and Chauncey… More
Knicks vs. Celtics: Series Preview
Here is a position-by-position preview for the upcoming series between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics. I'd like to thank Nico Premutico for helping me with this post. Let me know what your expectations are for the upcoming series in the comments!
The X-Factor: Toney Douglas
In my eyes, Toney Douglas will be the X-Factor in the upcoming series with the Boston Celtics. During the regular season, the New York Knicks were 6-1 when Toney Douglas was their leading scorer. When Douglas has an explosive night, it opens up the floor for many players. He seems to have endless range, as… More
What Must Go Right for the New York Knicks
For the first time since 2004, the New York Knicks have made it to the NBA Playoffs. The matchups are set, and the Knicks will be facing the Boston Celtics in the first round. These two teams have faced off in the playoffs 12 separate times, and out of those 12 series each team has… More

Telomeres are sections of DNA that tell an interesting story about lifespan. Shorter telomeres usually suggest a shorter life -- but new research by a Wilmot lung cancer expert shows that longer telomeres might be a promising biomarker for a recurrence of early stage lung cancer.
"This guy's an idiot!" Comments like that, coming from one doctor in reference to another, are unprofessional and not so rare -- and they undermine patient trust, according to a URMC study highlighted in the New York Times.

The mimes serve as an in-your-face and farcical illustration of what Google's myriad and inescapable technologies do to keep tabs on every move individuals make online.

To spotlight concerns over Google's Internet tracking, mimes working for an advocacy group will follow government workers around Wednesday, when Google chairman Eric Schmidt testifies before Congress.

Daily Devotional, August 19
Recently a friend said to me, "I used to fear how people perceived me. Then I discovered that Satan's deviousness is something even greater to fear. Later, however, I learned that to fall under God's wrath is to be feared the most."
Zephaniah describes the day when God's anger will be poured out as "a day of terrible distress and anguish, a day of ruin and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness" (1:15). The prophet's description presents a terrifying picture! Note the descriptive nouns used to characterize this day when God will pour out His wrath on those who have chosen sin instead of Him.
The initial warnings in Zephaniah's message were directed to the people in Judah. They had worshiped God, but only superficially, for they worshiped other gods too. Judah had turned away from following the Lord and failed to seek Him and His guidance (vv.4-6). Though they said they believed in the existence of God, it had little or no impact on the way they lived.
Zephaniah said, "Stand in silence in the presence of the Sovereign Lord, for the awesome day of the Lord's judgment is near" (v.7). What does it mean to be silent before the Lord? It may mean that we should stop making excuses for our sin, or that we cease trying to deny that we're sinners, deserving of God's wrath. Silence is sometimes viewed as a way of admitting one's guilt (Leviticus 10:3). It is also a sign of reverence (Psalm 62:1; Habakkuk 2:20).
After being silent, we must repent by seeking the Lord and following His commands, to do what is right and to live humbly (Zephaniah 2:3). Although God's great day of judgment is coming soon (1:14-16), it's not too late to turn back to God. , Poh Fang Chia

I have a question that I hope that you can help me with. We are going to be selling our house within the next year and one of the biggest problems we have is our yard. To tell the truth, we don't have a yard at all, but a bunch of dirt and weeds. I have watched on many of those TV shows where they sell housed for profit that the yard is an important area to help increase the value and so I think it needs to be redone in order to get a better price for the ho

Pro Clinical Hydroxycut Review
People tend to migrate towards names and brands they've heard before, which is why Pro Clinical Hydroxycut is receiving so much attention. Trouble is, popularity is not always a sure bet that the product is safe and effective.
The makers of Pro Clinical Hydroxycut claim their product will lead to weight loss. I don't disagree that it could be effective, but I'm curious to see if it's a top diet pill, like Abidexin is.
Let's compare Pro Clinical Hydroxycut to Abidexin and see what we can find out.
The Formula
Pro Clinical Hydroxycut is made up of these three ingredient blends, which total 340 mg per serving:
HydroxyBoost – caffeine anhydrous
Hydroxyprovia – alchemilla vulgaris, olea europaea, cuminum cyminum, and mentha longifolia
Hydroxagen – acerola concentrate, goji extract, blueberry, pomegranate, and bilberry extract.
Clinical studies show that caffeine anhydrous can help reduce cravings, increase fat burning, and raise energy. It burns fat by stimulating thermogenesis, which causes your body to burn calories instead of storing them. A safe, effective dose is 200-400 mg a day.
The four herbs in Hydroxyprovia have been tested together and proven to boost metabolism and reduce hunger. However, it's very important that the correct doses are used. Coincidentally, Abidexin has these same four ingredients, and it uses them in the correct doses.
Hydroxagen has an assortment of fruits which are all high in antioxidants. These can eliminate free radicals and toxins from the body, to help improve health. They have not been clinically proven to burn fat.
Is This an Effective Formula?
An effective diet pill has two things: clinically proven ingredients and the correct doses. Pro Clinical Hydroxycut does have 5 clinically proven ingredients, but I'm not sure if it has the correct doses of these. On the other hand, all of Abidexin's ingredients have been clinically proven and they're used in the proven doses.
Pro Clinical Hydroxycut could still be effective, but I'm not as confident in it as I am in a product like Abidexin.
Will It Cause Side Effects?
The more caffeine Pro Clinical Hydroxycut has, the more likely it is to cause side effects like jitteriness, increased heart rate, insomnia, and sweating. Unfortunately, I have no idea what dose of caffeine is used.
I do think there is a chance that Pro Clinical Hydroxycut will cause side effects for people who are sensitive to caffeine. And I did find reports of side effects in customer reviews.
Abidexin only has 100 mg of caffeine per serving, which is less than most diet pills have. It still might cause side effects for some users; but once again, I feel more confident in Abidexin than in Pro Clinical Hydroxycut because I know what doses the former diet pill uses.
What Rating Does It Receive?
On GNC.com, Pro Clinical Hydroxycut received an average rating of 3.6 stars out of 5 from 17 users. Fifty-nine percent of those users said they would recommend it to others.
On Walgreens.com, the average rating given by 26 users was 3.9 stars out of 5; and on Bodybuilding.com, Pro Clinical Hydroxycut got 6.1 stars out of 10 from 11 users.
Users who like Pro Clinical Hydroxycut say it works quickly and helped them lose weight. People who rated the product negatively did so because it caused side effects and was ineffective for them.
Abidexin has received some negative reviews–no diet pill is perfect. However, I've seen it get a significantly larger amount of positive reviews.
Is Pro Clinical Hydroxycut Easy to Use?
I was a little surprised to see that users think Pro Clinical Hydroxycut is easy to use, because that wasn't my first impression. You have to take 2 capsules, 2-3 times every day; and you have to build up a tolerance to it. Here is the schedule that users typically follow:
• Days 1-2: Take 1 capsules, 2x a day
• Days 3-4: Take 2 capsules, 2x a day
• Day 5 and Beyond: Take 2 capsules, 3x a day
The best time to take these capsules is 30 minutes before a meal. Don't take them within 5 hours of bedtime, or the caffeine could interfere with your sleep.
From my research, I found that most people who lost weight while using Pro Clinical Hydroxycut followed a healthy diet and exercise program. If want to improve your results while using this product, I recommend doing the same.
The Cost
Initially, Pro Clinical Hydroxycut seems affordable:
• Walgreens.com – $19.99
• Bodybuilding.com – $20.99
• GNC.com – $23.99
These prices are for a box of 72 Rapid-Release Caplets. If you take the recommended 6 capsules a day, each box will last for 12 days; which means you'll need 2.5 boxes to have a month supply ($49.97-$59.97).
So, Pro Clinical Hydroxycut really isn't as affordable as it seems. In fact, it costs more than Abidexin, which costs between $40 and $50 for one bottle with a month supply.
I couldn't find a retailer who offers a money back guarantee for Pro Clinical Hydroxycut.
My Recommendation
I don't suggest that you try Pro Clinical Hydroxycut for a few reasons: I don't know if it has safe, effective doses of each ingredient. It doesn't receive as high of ratings as some other diet pills do. And it doesn't come with a guarantee.
Instead, I recommend Abidexin. It has clinically proven ingredients and doses. It is highly-recommended by users. And the official website offers a 90-day 100% money back guarantee, so you can try it risk free.
You can learn more by visiting Abidexin.com.
If you've used Pro Clinical Hydroxycut, please tell me what you think about it. Would you recommend it to others?
24 Pro Clinical Hydroxycut Reviews
I started taking this pill on Tuesday (it is now Friday). I have lost three pounds since Tuesday! I am only taking one pill three times a day like the bottle says and tomorrow I am supposed to move up to two pills three times a day, but I don't think it is necessary to do so yet. The only negative thing I have noticed since starting is that on my 2nd day of taking the pill I only got 30-45 minutes of sleep! I had my lights out, was laying in bed, and trying so hard, but just simply could not sleep. The good thing though is the pill does give you a boost of energy so the next day I didn't feel too incredibly tired. Last night I still had a little bit of trouble sleeping, but was able to fall asleep around 11:30PM and slept until my alarm woke me up. I am hoping my sleep is even better tonight. I definitely do feel a little bit different physically being on these pills, but nothing that has really alarmed me so far. My heart rate seems to be normal and there haven't been any serious side effects, I can definitely feel something strong going on almost like a little bit of a buzz and I will warn you it has made me REALLY thirsty. I go through about 8 16oz bottles of water a day now. I would recommend Pro Clinical Hydroxycut to others with what I have experienced so far =].
do you eat regular food at regular times? or are you eating super healthy along with it?
I started to take Pro Clinical Hydroxycut, I am going to the gym five days out the week, my first week using this product i lost three pounds. I will complete the eight weeks of the cycle to see how much I have lost. I don't know if it because I spent three hours at the gym doing 2 of cardio and 1 of weight training but I definetly feel something different, I'am hoping it is the hydroxycut to get my monies worth.
I tried Pro Clincal Hydroxycut and after two weeks I was extremely swollen in the face, ankles and hands. I immediately got off the pills and it has been two weeks and my ankles are still swollen. I would not recommend this to anyone that has a caffeine issue. I have never had a reaction to caffeine before so BEWARE!
I just started taking Pro Clinical Hydroxycut today. I feel good, very energized. I usually drink a lot of coffee, haven't had any and don't feel the need. I am using the restroom far more than normal, but I have been known to retain a lot of water. I do about 45 minutes to an hour of cardio 5 times a week. I am hoping I see good results. I am also on a low calorie diet.
Any additional suggestions?
its a good product i wont complain but instead of taking 2 pills 3 times a day is horrible!!!! i will stick to 1 to 2 pills a day
I am small framed (size 4) but had belly fat that I needed to get rid of. I gained about 15 lbs. over the winter purely from not eating right and being lazy. I have started working out with my husband and started taking the Hydroxycut pro clinical. I have lost 4 lbs in a week, only have 11 lbs to go…..Is it making me lose weight?? Doubtful..BUT it is giving me energy that i DID NOT HAVE. I dont plan on staying on them once i get into a daily regimen and my metabolism is boosted…but they helped get me moving.
I have been using the new Pro Clinical Hydroxycut for 8 days now. Along with strenuous excersize and a strict diet I have already lost 11 pounds. It is amazing what this product can do. I am not a sales person. Im just a 20 year old guy. If you email me I will confirm my results.
I started Pro Clinical Hydroxycut three days ago. The first day, I woke up and drank a bottle of water with the Hydroxycut in it. I spent the day flying around my house cleaning and going to the bathroom. It cleared out my entire colon! At lunch, I only had one half of a dose and the rest was downhill from there. I started seeing things! My eyes were wigging out and I was sweating profusely. I struggled eating, but I knew I had to. I stayed up until 3:30am unable to sleep. I had a terrible case of gas. The next day, I started out with only one half a bottle. It was aweful!!! My head ached all day and at night. Several times that day, I had to sit down so I wouldn't pass out. I couldn't sleep thinking someone was creeping around my house. This morning, I still have a headache. Funny thing is that they only thing that helps to bring me back down is a little food. In three days, I was supposed to drink nine bottles. I drank ONE AND A HALF!!!!! I can't wait to get it out of my system. It was aweful.
I used the hydroxycut drink mixes cuz I can't do pills for the 12weeks and went from 175lbs to 145lbs. No regular exercise just sporadic and not the best diet. Pretty much ate whatever I wanted in a decent portion size. Hydroxycut isn't for everyone, it will make you pee a lot but that's good for the kidneys. I also have a really high tolerance for caffeine.
hi everyone i just bought me Pro Clinical Hydroxycut this is my first time i weight 236.8 pounds i will keep you updated i took my first pill this morning 8;11 am my goal 120 pounds hope this works for me i keep it updated …..
Any weight loss????
Hi everyone,I am on proclinical Hydroxycut from today and I have already taken my second pill..so far after taking the two pills I had three bowel movements,my base weight as of this morning 195 lbs,planning to go down by 150-160lbs,lets see how it goes,I have no plans of doing exercise.
I absolutely love all the comments on here… "Im hoping this is a miracle pill that will magically melt off fat,and oh by the way I dont plan on changing my diet or starting an exercise program"….. Seriously… Mother Earth needs to seriously look at the "Survival of the Fitest" logic much more closely.
I started hydroxycut 4 days ago and have already went from 152lbs-145lbs when i stepped on the scale this morn.Im 5'5in I just increased my pills to 2 a day so hopefully it will not make me jittery.
Okay. I have tried Atkins which has helped me a lot but cutting carbs and sugar completely out of my diet is so difficult that after a few weeks I fall offf the wagon and gain 10 of the 15 pounds I lost. Tried to just eat sensibly and gained more weight.
I have a VERY SLOW metabolisim so I hope this will help. I want to lose 35 pounds and I just started the hydroxycut today. I let you know if I lose any weight in the next few days.
Ok. I couldn't resist weighing in this morning. So I was 168 and now I'm 164.5 so yay! as far as side-effects I almost thought I was going to break out in hives. I decided to drink a lot more water than I ever thought I would in a short period to flush this stuff out of me. I didn't like the constant fear of my body being covered in red little dots.
I didn't have too much trouble falling asleep but I wasn't really tired.
Hopefully day 2 works out even better than day 1. MRL9531
Im on the end of day 4 of pro clinical recomended dose of Hydroxycut. I'm super itchy and have tiny little red bumps. I'm senstive to caffine. Related maybe???? Comments???
Your reaction is likely due to the increased levels of niacin. It is called a niacin flush. Harmless, however it does result in a red itchy rash-like appearance.
I am on day 6 of pro clinical Hydroxycut I have lost 5 lbs I am hoping to lose 20 lbs. I have a lot of energy, I feel great, my appetite has decreased I have to force myself to eat and when I do it is not a lot, I have noticed that I am thirsty 24-7 cannot get enough water. I have nothing bad to say about this product it is working I hope it starts working a little faster but losing a pound a day is not bad. I would reccomend this product.
Strating Hydroxycut today so wish me luck i'm a 49 yr. old female who has a goal of losing 50 lbs. this yr. if not more…So wish me luck.
I just bought pro clinical hydroxycut today and took one before lunch and 4 hours later a half hour before my last meal around 6. So far the only side effect I see is how much I'm peeing. I'm drinking a ton of water as they advise you to do and I'm up peeing like every half hour for the next couple hours after taking the pill, and each pee is a pretty big pee.
I'm thinking the supplement is getting rid of all of my water weight which is fine. It just kind of sucks if you're watching something on tv or doing something else that you don't want to miss. I'd advise not to take one before going to the movies.
But I've read nothing but good reviews on this stuff and I'm excited to see how this stuff works over time. I just hope I don't have to pee like this through my entire experience with this stuff and my body adapts or something.
I started taking hydroxycut last Saturday and as of this morning, I have lost 10 pounds. I'm 52 year old female, 6'3″ and weighted 239 lbs. I should weigh 175 lbs. I don't exercise, but I keep my calorie intake to about 1500 per day. It reduces the desire to eat all the time, which I wanted to do. I always wanted to have something to munch on. Plus, when meal time comes, I feel full faster, which is wonderful! I don't think I'm going to take 2 pills 3 times a day though. My eye twitches with the 200mg 2x per day.
I started taking the pills since May 10,2015. I lost 6 lbs right away. I felt fine during that time until I forgot to take my pills to work a couple of days. When I started back on schedule my body felt so tired. I couldn't stay awake even after taking 2 pills. Also I'm use to drinking alot of soda so the caffeine doesn't bother me but I've noticed blood when I have a bowel movement and wipe after peeing.is this normal? I'm debating whether to continue to take them. I like that I've lost weight and inches but I don't know what to do. Anybody else experience this?

Lady Gaga Accepts VMA Award Covered in Meat
Celebrity Style Sep. 12, 2010 AT 11:53PM
When Lady Gaga accepted her award for Video of the Year at the VMAs Sunday, the "Bad Romance" singer turned heads with her meaty ensemble.
"I never thought I'd be asking Cher to hold my meat purse," Gaga, 24, giggled as she picked up her moonman.
With tears streaming down her face, the singer thanked her fans before revealing the title of her third album, Born This Way.
She then treated the audience to a few bars of the title track's chorus before exiting the stage.

"How beautiful in my way, cause God makes no mistakes," she sang. "I'm on the right track. Baby, I was born this way."

Golf Exercise And Fitness For Senior Golfers
Senior golfers are fighting the physical decline associate with aging. It's inevitable, but can dramatically be slowed down with a golf exercise and fitness program that incorporates balance exercises, core stabilization movements for both strength and flexibility, and improved range of motion of the extremities (shoulders, wrists, ankles, etc.).
This is the ONLY way to get back those lost yards and reduce those mishits that happen more frequently. I played with a senior golfer the other day. He was 69 and really did quite well…until the last 4 to 5 holes.
He lost his backswing range of motions and just used his arms. He lost a minimum of 50 yards on his drives and was "duck-hooking" everything since he was not turning his body through the shot.
He realized what was happening, but I guarantee he will walk off the course and keep doing what he's been doing…and it's not a golf exercise and fitness program I can assure you.
If that same golfer were to focus on his "physical" inabilities his golf swing and game would be better than it's been in many years!
I can't tell senior golfers enough how important it is to incorporate both golf strength and golf stretching to their golf improvement routine.

Business as usual as GCC opens camp without Colosimo
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Dan Mahoney slowly navigated his way up a slope leading from the Greensburg Central Catholic practice field and greeted a visitor.
"This is the nicest part of the day, getting down there and coaching football," Mahoney said with a warm smile.
It was a relaxed and quiet atmosphere on the first day of training camp at GCC, which begins its first season in a long while without legendary coach Muzzy Colosimo, who was removed on Aug. 6 after twice being suspended by the school and replaced by two of his assistants, Mahoney — also the school's athletics director — and Matt Federico.
Colosimo's absence was felt by coaches and players alike, but the season will go on just the same, Mahoney said.
"For me, there's a void to fill," he said, "but we're going to remain positive. We met with the kids and told them that we're moving ahead. This is a tough thing, especially for 16- and 17-year-olds, but these young men have reacted well.
"They know the routine and we want them to focus on it. They did a good job of it on the first day."
While Mahoney had spent 17 seasons as an assistant to Colosimo, GCC's players have had much less time to get to know the coaching staff.
Senior captain Zach Guiser said the team is united and expects to continue success that has had the program playing for a PIAA Class AA championship as recently as 2009.
"It's business as usual. We miss his presence, but there's really nothing different," said Guiser, a running back/safety who is committed to Akron for next year.
Mahoney said GCC's season could hinge on the play of its defense, but that could just be the coach focusing on his area of expertise. Mahoney is a defensive-minded mentor, with Federico handling the team's offense.
GCC enters the season with a revamped coaching staff and more than a few openings in its lineup after the Centurions were hit hard by player transfers after a 10-2 record and a trip to the WPIAL Class AA semifinals in 2011.
Among the defections is leading rusher Jordan McCrea, who gained 1,218 yards and scored 17 touchdowns last season.
He is returning to Connellsville, his home school district.
Guiser is back, though, after gaining 599 yards on just 60 carries (10.0 average) a year ago. But it wasn't until recently that he was back to what he feels is 100 percent health after dealing with hamstring injuries in both legs.
"I strained it during the WPIAL track qualifers in the 100 (in May at Mars)," he said, "and then, after I tried to run on it during conditioning in the summer, I overcompensated and hurt the other one."
GCC will open its schedule Aug. 31 against Washington.

Panthers run away from Pendleton
ABBEVILLE - A rain-soaked field in Abbeville provided a fitting battleground for two of the upstate's toughest teams. For the third straight year, Abbeville topped Pendleton in what should amount to a region championship game. From the opening whistle, the Abbeville Panthers took the game to Pendleton and coasted to a 31-14 win.
On its second drive of the game, the Abbeville offense established itself on the ground. The Panthers used a familiar combination of quarterback Jermaine Thackson and fullback Dureal Elmore to run the ball right through the middle of the Pendleton defense. The two juniors combined for 52 yards on the drive, with Thackson's fourteen yard jaunt putting Abbeville ahead eight minutes into the first quarter.
"This game is traditionally a nail-biter," Abbeville coach Jamie Nickels said. "We were able to get a little momentum going tonight, though. That's a good Pendleton football team."
Abbeville didn't waste time in taking total control of the game shortly after that. The Panther defense brought constant pressure, disrupting Pendleton's motion-based running attack and forcing quarterback John Michael Gibson to take chances through the air. Nearly everytime a Pendleton player carried the ball, he was greeted with a big hit by one of Abbeville's defenders. This defensive toughness set the tone for what would be a nasty game until the end.
On Abbeville's third and fourth drives of the first half, they cashed in touchdowns on long runs. The first was a Jermaine Thackson 37-yard run where he dodged a handful of Bulldog defenders. Early in the second quarter, Elmore set up the Panther offense with a 36-yard run. Two plays later, junior Sammy Head put Abbeville ahead 19-0 with a tough 14-yard touchdown run of his own.
"Those guys are really good," Pendleton coach Paul Sutherland said. "They have so many guys, this is really the best Abbeville team I've seen since about 2001."
Down 19-0 in the second quarter, the Bulldogs fought back in typical Pendleton fashion. Senior receiver C.J. Gleaton took a handoff on a reverse, then threw a strike to junior Anthony Eubanks, who completed the rest of the 67-yard play. Then on their first drive of the third quarter, Pendleton used a long pass play to set up another score to make the score 19-14.
That's when the Abbeville offense went on an 80-yard drive that would put the game away. That drive included a fourth and two that Nickels put in the hands of Thackson. He picked up 12 and not long after that, Elmore scored from 22 yards out.
"When you've got fourth and short, you've got to be tough," Thackson said. "You got to be able to say, 'I'm going to do what I have to do to get those yards before the other guy stops me.'"

I live and breathe music, and if I could do a benefit concert for the animals, I WOULD SO DO IT!!!!!
When i was a little girl, i knew someone who would take me with them to drop my pets off out on back roads. I'm here(at peta2) because i will never do something so awful to my pets, and i will NEVER teach my children something so cruel and just plain wrong. #weareallanimals <3
I have been a vegetarian for a little over 5 years now. I grew up in a small town, worked in a city, moved to college and that just about sums it up. Super outgoing introvert that hates and loves people at the same time.
I've been vegetarian for six years, working my way to a vegan lifestyle. All of my pets are rescues, and I love them dearly. If you'd like to know anything, feel free to add or message me! :D
I'm vegan, and I'm homeschooled. I was a vegetarian for a year and I didn't want to believe the milk and egg industry was so bad because I was so used to consuming them. Being a vegetarian didn't feel like enough, so I became vegan and I feel so much better and healthier! I'm not sure what I want to do with my life and I desperately want to find out what my purpose is.

There have been many scares over the years that turned out to be harmless. Some of them cost many millions of dollars, even billions, but none are as big as the baseless fear of adding more peaceful nuclear power plants.
Nuclear power has an excellent safety record. In the half century we have had nuclear power plants, not one person has died of radiation due to those plants. If one stood bordering railroad property while all the spent nuclear fuel in the country went past, one would get less than one fourth of the radiation of one chest x-ray.
Yet politicians pose as heroes while preventing such harmless transportation. At the same time they are preventing our nuclear power industry from expanding. I guess they would rather have more global warming plus electrical shortages rather than risk having the first U.S. death in 50 years from radiation at a power plant.
Coal smoke particles smaller than 2.5 microns kill 30,000 each year, according to studies done by C. Arden Pope III at Brigham Young University, but apparently the politicians don't see those pollution deaths as a problem.
Special railroad cars for spent nuclear fuel are being designed with high-tech methods of avoiding derailments, but if there were a derailment, there would be no need to evacuate tens of thousands as with some chemical spills. Keeping the public back 50 feet would be more than enough while repairs were made.
While Utah politicians (and others) obstruct our economy by blocking expanded nuclear power, our allies and even potential enemies add more nuclear and thus strengthen their economies.
They then will buy our best companies as we become a second rate economic power.

BY MIKE LUCASUWBadgers.comMADISON, Wis. -- Standing on the Camp Randall Stadium sidelines following Saturday's practice, Ron McBride didn't have any trouble hitting rewind and coming up with his fondest memory from the two seasons that he spent in Madison as Wisconsin's offensive line coach under Dave McClain.In 1984, the Badgers upset No. 6-ranked Ohio State, 16-14, in front of a rain-drenched but rowdy crowd of 78,606 at Camp Randall. Watching from the press box was former Buckeyes coach Woody Hayes, who did more pacing than sitting. McClain had been a former Hayes assistant in Columbus.Twenty-nine years later, McBride said with delight, "We just kicked the bleep out of them.''The week before Ohio State, the Badgers had lost their starting tailback, Larry Emery, to an injury. Marck Harrison, who began the year playing fullback, took over for Emery. Harrison had special motivation in that he grew up in Columbus dreaming about playing for the Buckeyes.
Never hearing from Ohio State, the 5-foot-8, 190-pound Harrison headed to Wisconsin with a chip on his shoulder. He made the Buckeyes pay for the snub by rushing for 203 yards in the upset. In doing so, Harrison outplayed Heisman Trophy candidate Keith Byars, who finished with 142 yards."Our offensive line,'' McBride said, "played out of their minds.''The Badgers controlled the line of scrimmage with Jeff Dellenbach and Kevin Belcher at the tackles, Bob Landsee and Dave Mielke at the guards and Dan Turk at center. Tight ends Bret Pearson and Dave Arneson and fullback Joe Armentrout also created running seams for Harrison."I can still remember our offensive line was supposed to be in the huddle,'' McBride recalled vividly. "I mean I can still see it today; our linemen were standing on the ball and yelling at the Ohio State defense. Dave (McClain) is yelling me, `Tell those guys to get in the huddle.'"But they wouldn't go. They were just standing there and yelling and pointing at Ohio State. They were just pointing, pointing, pointing. Dave comes over again and says, `What the hell is wrong with your guys?' I said, `I don't know but I'll find out.'''When the O-linemen came off the field, McBride confronted them and got his answer."They said, `Coach, we're telling them, `We're going to kick your bleep all day.'''With a little Dennis the Menace grin, McBride, now 73, said, "It was a good film to watch.''This past week, McBride got a chance to reminisce with some of his former Wisconsin players at practice. "It brought back great memories of the good times that I had here when I coached,'' he said. "They're all great kids. It was awesome. In this life you can't ask for anything better. It's unreal.''The reunion included an old friend Larry Mialik, a UW tight end from the early '70s, along with Landsee, Armentrout, Todd Nelson, Chris Osswald, Matt Joki, Todd Gregoire (who kicked three field goals in the Ohio State win) and Arneson (whose son, Sam, is now a tight end with the Badgers).There was another former McBride player at practice all week. UW head coach Gary Andersen.
"I couldn't ask for a better scenario for Gary than to be at Wisconsin,'' he said of Andersen, who was McBride's starting center for two years at Utah. "And I couldn't ask for a better scenario for me to come back and see so many of these guys. It's a privilege to be here.''Andersen has always viewed McBride as a mentor and so it made perfect sense to tap into McBride's 48-years of coaching experience spanning nearly every level of competition. Recently, McBride completed his second season as the O-line coach for the Utah Blaze, an Arena Football League team.McBride came out of retirement to coach the Blaze. (His retirement lasted less than 100 days.) The raspy-voiced McBride, then and now, has been known for unbridled passion and unconventional motivational techniques. He used to wear a Chicago Cubs baseball cap on the UW sidelines.Why? "It was a good luck cap,'' he said. What did McClain think about an assistant wearing a Cubs cap during games? "As long as the guys were blocking well, he left me alone,'' he said. McClain, for the record, had McBride give the pregame speech before the Badgers went out and beat Ohio State.At the end of the '84 season, McBride left for Utah, where he was an assistant under Jim Fassel. Five years later, after a stint at Arizona, McBride was named the head coach of the Utes and it didn't take him long to breathe life into a moribund program that had five winning seasons in the previous 16 years.During his 13 seasons, he took the Utes to six bowl games. Note that, prior to his arrival, Utah had gone bowling just three times in 97 years. Overall, he finished with 88 wins, the second most in school history. As it was, one of his losses came to Wisconsin in the 1996 Copper Bowl in Tucson, Ariz.Ron Dayne, then No. 33 and a freshman, rushed for 246 yards.Dayne, now 35 and retired, just happened to be at Saturday's practice."I did see him (Dayne) today,'' McBride said.Shaking his head, he added, "He ran over us in Tucson.''
During his introductory news conference, Andersen spelled out what McBride has meant to him."For me, coaching-wise, it all started with Coach McBride,'' he said, "He's an unbelievable mentor for me and will continue to be. He taught me a lot of what Coach (Barry) Alvarez is all about -- the toughness of the game and the care factor for the kids ... you have to put the kids first.''
Andersen, McBride suggested, has never lacked toughness. "He was really tough, very determined and a scrapper (as a player),'' he said. "I remember he ran the (Utah) flag out before the Arizona State game and stuck it on the 50. Gary is one of those guys who like to make a statement."He was an `every-day' guy. He was going to give you his best shot every day, so there was never a day where you'd have to chew him out for something. If you did, he'd always respond to it. When I took the job at Utah, he was the first guy I wanted to hire.''McBride always sensed that Andersen would make a good head coach once he got his chance."He's got natural leadership qualities,'' he said. "In this profession, you don't know what's going to happen, so there are no guarantees. But he's smart. He understands team chemistry and he understands how to talk to the players, and they will respond to him because they know he cares.''On stepping into the Big Ten, McBride told Andersen, "It's a physical conference and people won't respect you if you're not physical -- if you're playing soft -- if you're not playing tough. That's just the way it is in the Big Ten. It's a black-and-blue league. Line up, play and earn your stripes.''Prior to coming to Madison, McBride visited another one of his former players, Pat Hill, the former Fresno State head coach, who's now an offensive line assistant with the Atlanta Falcons. While in Atlanta, McBride renewed his friendship with Paul Dunn, also a Falcons' O-line coach.McBride and Dunn coached together at the University of Kentucky. McBride likes to tell the story about how he used get to Dunn's son out of junior high school and take him to the race track because he thought he was good luck. "I think I kept his kid from going to college,'' he laughed.Ron and Vickie McBride have seven grandchildren, including two in Southern California. Their son-in-law is John Baxter, the associate head coach, special teams and tight end coach for Lane Kiffin at USC. McBride doesn't mind travel. He isn't one to just hang around the house. He gets bored too easily.During the season, he does same radio in Salt Lake City. He's on the pregame and postgame show on the Utah football network. In late September, he's planning on seeing Wisconsin play at Ohio State. Who knows? Maybe he might bring the Badgers some good luck against the Buckeyes.

Heat exhaustion kills dog traveling in back of moving van in Indian River County
VERO BEACH — A boxer mix found dead in the back of a moving van Monday could serve as a reminder to pet owners about keeping their dogs out of hot vehicles, Vero Beach police said.
A woman and her teenage daughter told officers they had been traveling across state with three of their dogs. They kept two of the dogs up front with them and one in the storage area of the van, Animal Control Officer Bruce Dangerfield said. They would alternate turns for which dog would ride in the back and placed the 60-pound boxer mix in the storage area about 2:30 p.m. Monday in Yeehaw Junction, Dangerfield said.
They arrived in the 1600 block of Highlands Avenue and found the dog dead, police said. A necropsy determined the dog, which the family had owned since it was a puppy, died from heat exhaustion, Dangerfield said. The dog was in the van for about 45 minutes, he said. The temperature inside likely reached 98 degrees, Dangerfield said, based on a reading he did in the van Tuesday.
Dangerfield said he will not file neglect charges in the case.
"No one feels worse about this than this lady," he said. "She didn't do this on purpose."
Dangerfield and other officers are often called about dogs seen trapped in cars parked in store parking lots.
"We haven't had that many calls this summer," he said. "I tend to get more calls in the cooler months. Even if it is cool outside, it can get plenty hot in a dark car with the windows rolled up. I tell people just to leave their dogs at home."
A few years ago, Indian River County Animal Control purchased some infrared thermometers to determine how hot a car is and whether a locksmith should be called to help take an animal out. The devices cost about $70 and provide an instant temperature reading. All the officers have to do is point the device at the car from a few feet away.

Decorating with… Green!August 27th, 2013
The Color Series continues today with a peek at the verdant shade of green, one I always refer to as "seasonless" because this hue works well inside and out and all year round, in winter, spring, summer, and fall. The color is found in what we see when we look outside each day, from the leaves on every botanical to moss covered trees to rolling grass covered hills to deep green forests.
Green paint is available in countless shades as anyone knows from visiting the paint store. It's a color that can communicate whatever a designer or homeowner wants depending on the lightness or darkness or saturation selected.
Pale shades like celedon or celery are light and airy, less saturated hues like sage are subtle and play the role of a neutral. Brighter lime or chartreuse greens always pack a punch while mint or seafoam greens brighten and cheer. Dramatic and deeper jade and olive introduce drama, while vivid emerald and Kelly add an dash of modern chic.

The coming of the American Revolution jeopardized this stability and the very existence of the Anglican Church in America. Prayers for the King of England and the royal family were included in the Anglican Prayer Book as part of the services. As tension between Great Britain and its American colonies increased, continued recitation of such prayers became a divisive issue between the clergy and their American congregations. The congregations insisted that prayers for the king be omitted from Sunday services and the clergy insisted on retaining them. As a result of this impasse, both King's Church in

In 1990, the Diocese of Rhode Island celebrated its two hundredth anniversary. The four colonial churches with barely 200 communicants had grown into a vibrant diocese of sixty-six parishes with more than 16,000 communicants.

As it looks back with pride on the accomplishments of its first two hundred years, the diocese also looks forward to the challenges of the next two hundred.

Asian elephants - threats
Conflict, loss of land and hunting
Most of the national parks and reserves where elephants occur are too small to accommodate viable elephant populations. The conversion of forested areas to agricultural use also leads to serious elephant-human conflicts. In India, up to 300 people are killed by elephants each year.
In the face of rapidly growing human populations, the Asian elephants' habitat is shrinking fast and wild elephant populations are mostly small, isolated, and unable to mingle as ancient migratory routes are cut off by human settlements.
Large development projects (such as dams, roads, mines and industrial complexes), plantations and spreading human settlements have fragmented what was once contiguous elephant habitat into small fragments.
Incidents of elephants raiding crops and villages are on the rise. This causes losses to human property and, sometimes, human lives. Retaliation by villagers often results in killings of these elephants. Experts already consider such confrontations to be the leading cause of elephant deaths in Asia.
In some countries, the government provides compensation for crop damage or deaths caused by elephants, but there is still often strong political pressure on wildlife authorities to eliminate elephants near populated regions. As human populations increase, elephant-human conflicts are likely to rise.
Illegal hunting and trade
In Asian elephants, only males carry tusks and therefore poaching is aimed exclusively at males. Selective removal of tuskers for their ivory may lead to an increase in the proportion of tuskless males in the population.
Poaching of Asian elephants for ivory and meat remains a serious problem in many countries, especially in southern India (where 90% of the bulls are tuskers) and in north-east India where some people eat elephant meat.
A 1997 TRAFFIC report indicated that, seven years after international trade in ivory was banned, illegal commerce continued in the Far East, with South Korea and Taiwan being major markets. However, most of this illegal ivory appeared to come from African sources, rather than from Asian elephants.
Capture of wild elephants
The capture of wild elephants for domestic use has become a threat to wild populations where numbers have been seriously reduced. India, Vietnam, and Myanmar have banned capture in order to conserve their wild herds, but in Myanmar elephants are still caught each year for the timber industry or the illegal wildlife trade.
Unfortunately, crude capture methods have led to a high mortality level. Efforts are being made not only to improve safety but also to encourage captive breeding rather than taking from the wild. With nearly 30% of the remaining Asian elephants in captivity, attention needs to be paid to improved care and, where appropriate, reintroduction of individuals into the wild.
Genetic threat
There has been concern about the genetic effects of reduced numbers of male big tuskers. The danger arises when they are eliminated, and poachers find it worthwhile to kill immature males for their small tusks. When tuskers are killed, the number of males in a population decreases, resulting in skewed sex ratios. This may lead to inbreeding and eventually to high juvenile mortality and overall low breeding success. Removing large tuskers also reduces the probability that these longer-ranging loners will mate and exchange genes with females of different sub-populations.
In the early 1990s, an outbreak of haemorrhagic septicaemia, a cattle disease rare among elephants, was responsible for the deaths of several animals in Sri Lanka's Uda Walawe National Park in May 1994. In small herds of elephants, epidemics such as this could wipe out entire groups.
