Fury at officials for using clean drinking water to create snow for event in arid Flagstaff
- Second year that the dry Arizona city has used potable water to make snow for the Dew Downtown Flagstaff Urban Ski and Snowboard Festival
- Officials planned to use reclaimed water but didn't apply for permit on time
- 440,000 gallons of potable water to make snow for two-day event
- Water conservationists say it is a waste
- The city says event is worth the investment as it boosts tourism
- 400,000 gallons is about an hour's worth of water supply for the entire community during summer
Angry residents have slammed Flagstaff city's use of clean drinking water to make snow for a two-day skiing event during the longest winter dry spell in the area's history.
For the second year in a row, officials have used 400,000 gallons of potable water to create snow for the Dew Downtown Flagstaff Urban Ski and Snowboard Festival in Arizona, happening this weekend.
While the city argues potable water is cleaner for snowboarders and skiers than reclaimed water, many residents say the practice is wasteful and bad for the environment.
Dry: Flagstaff officials have been forced to make snow with clean water for an annual event because of low snowfall totals in the town
Arid: Officials say relatively low snow levels in Arizona left them with no choice but to manufacture snow so the profitable snow event could proceed
Outrage: Flagstaff residents are furious the city is using 440,000 gallons of potable water to create snow for the annual Dew Downtown Flagstaff Urban Ski and Snowboard Festival
Inefficient: Having failed to apply for a permit that would allow for the use of reclaimed water to make the snow, Flagstaff city officials used drinking water to create this snow ramp
By the numbers: Officials say the 400,000 gallons of potable water used to create this snow is a drop in the ocean compared with the 2.7 billion gallons delivered each year in Flagstaff
'Wasting 400,000
gallons of water on a two-day event in the arid southwest is not a
prudent use of our scarce resources,' environmental advocacy group, Friends of Flagstaff's Future, said.
'We hope to work with other community groups and our city to find opportunities that promote tourism and engage our community in fun activities but that are also aligned with principals of sustainability.'
Azdailyasun.com reported the U.S. Drought Monitor last month expanded drought conditions across northern Arizona, reclassifying the Flagstaff region as 'abnormally dry'.
In spite of this, the city of Flagstaff maintains the economic benefits of using potable water outweigh the environmental concerns.
The annual festival attracts hundreds of tourists each year keen to watch snowboarders and skiers compete.
According to Azfamily.com, the city reported a 19 percent increase in sales tax revenue during the past two events. Revenue from bed, board and beverage tax was also up by 13 percent.
Small business owners have backed the use of potable water, saying the tourist boom has helped improve their ailing operations.
'We just expanded our store now, so we have a lot more room for people to come through, and it helps with lunch and drink sales,' business owner Kevin Collins told azfamily.com.
'It brings people down here to the store and keeps us busy as well.'
Vino Loco owner Weston Miller said he sees a 30 percent boost in
sales during the festival.
'It's kind of right out our back door, so it brings a lot of people in throughout the day drinking wine and beer,' he said.

Dew Downtown Flagstaff Urban Ski and Snowboard Festival: The two-day event, happening this weekend, is a tourist draw card
Hygienic: Flagstaff city argues potable water is cleaner and more comfortable for snowboarders and skiers than reclaimed water
City spokeswoman Kimberly Ott told azfamily.com 400,000 gallons is about an hour's worth of water supply for the entire community during the summer, and a drop in the ocean compared with the 2.7 billion gallons delivered each year in Flagstaff.
'It's a tough call and
it's something that the city took really seriously when you have the
water conservation concern, but you also have the economic benefit to
the community,' Ott said.
Although Ott insisted the ongoing drought left the city with no option but to use fresh water 'to get the same (snow) base,' naztoday.com reported officials initially planned to use recycled water but didn't file their permit application on time.
Clash: Moran Henn, director of Friends of Flagstaff's Future (left) says
the use of clean drinking water during a drought is irresponsible while Flagstaff city spokeswoman Kimberly Ott (right) argues the economic benefit outweighs the environmental cost
Meanwhile, disgruntled residents firmly oppose the use of drinking water.
'We're in a huge drought,' Flagstaff local Geoffery Bishop said.
'There's absolutely no need for an event like this, in my opinion, at all during that time.
Alexa Vagnozzi agreed, saying the city has other options.
'I would prefer the more contaminated reclaimed water rather than the drinking water because we don't want to take away the drinking water from Flagstaff citizens or anything like that,' she said.
Profitable: The city reported a 19 percent increase in sales tax revenue during the past two events which they say offsets any environmental concerns of using drinking water to make snow for the event

What good are lifepo4 batteries? They don't last worth a crap next to NIMH?!?
What applications are there for lifepo4's because I just bought these brand new 2500mah sanyos complete with charger and they seem to die much much quicker than their smaller NIMH counterparts. I've used them singly, in parallel and in series to power things like a bulb, camera, electric motor and led lights. They last a laughably short time. Like 10 minutes in most applications. This is ridiculous. What a waste of money and such a let down! I have tried charging for like 5 hours, and i've tried charging for like 2. in either case, the charger says they're done and they last the same short time regardless. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading.
They are for high discharge applications, like a motor that needs a lot of power for a shorter period of time. They have a long life in terms of cycles, perhaps 1500 or more discharge/recharge. I think they are intended to be used in applications like vehicles, bikes for instance, where gravity can recharge them through braking systems that recharge batteries on the downhill runs, or hybrid applications. They are cooler to operate which makes them safer than lithium cobalt dioxide batteries used in laptops and other consumer electronics. I would assume that the problem you are having is due to not having enough of them in parallel for the capacity you are seeking with the motor. I haven't seen them recommended for lighting.

COCHIN, India, Sept. 13 (JTA) — The Jewish community of Cochin has witnessed a series of "ends of eras" during its 500-year history on India's southwestern coast. Last Friday marked yet another sad milestone: Shalom Cohen, 87, the community's last Kohen, or member of the priestly caste, died just two weeks before he would have blessed the dwindling congregation on Rosh Hashanah. With Cohen's passing, 13 Jews remain in Jew Town, the section of Cochin famous for the Paradesi Synagogue, one of the oldest synagogues in continuous operation in the world. The shul was built and dedicated in 1568, just one generation after Portuguese explorer Vasco de Gama discovered, on the same stretch of coastline, the sea route from Europe to India. All the Jews of the Fort Cochin neighborhood of Mattancherry turned out for Cohen's funeral — as did an equal number of Jews from the mainland Ernakulam side of greater Cochin — as well as neighbors and shopkeepers from Jew Town Road. A local newspaper was on hand to cover the story. Perhaps due to their isolation, Jews here have some unusual customs. For example, homes have mezuzot affixed to doorposts, but the synagogues do not. Nor do the Jews of Cochin have any tradition of rabbis serving the community: The religious leaders were called hachamim, or sages. Cohen came from the last family to have a member who could lay claim to being a hacham: His older brother, who died a few years ago, was the shochet, or ritual slaughterer for the community. Though he managed to pass the skill along to a younger man, the present shochet — who is not religiously observant and runs a flower shop on Shabbat out of one of the unused synagogues — has proven controversial Cohen is survived by a sister. There are hardly any Jews of marriageable age left in Cochin and no children, since a mass migration to Israel in the 1940s and 1950s. A few families linger, remnants of a once-influential merchant and landowning community that maintained excellent relations with the local maharajahs of pre-independence India. A lucky visitor today might be shown one of the synagogue's rare treasures: a gold Torah crown donated by a generous maharajah. The funeral was held in the Sasson House, a former community center-turned-senior citizens' home across from the Paradesi Synagogue. The funeral procession was short: The Jewish cemetery is around the corner from the synagogue, and everyone except for the very aged — who rode with the coffin — followed behind the slow-moving vehicle on foot. Though the monsoon season is virtually over, as soon as the cortege reached the gates of the cemetery, which had been refurbished in 1848, it began to drizzle.

Internet Explorer can no longer claim more than half of the web's traffic, as of October, ending more than a decade of the default Microsoft browser's reign.
Safari's hold on 62.17 per cent of mobile traffic has reduced IE's overall share of web browsing, despite still claiming 52.63 per cent of desktop traffic, according to Netmarketshare.com.
The Microsoft browser's diminishing share reflects its near absence from the realms of mobile and tablet, which now make up 6 per cent of web traffic. However, chances are, you gave up on IE long enough ago that this milestone makes you more curious as to who actually still uses the browser.
As of October, Firefox is the second most popular web browser, accounting for 21.20 per cent of traffic, followed by Google Chrome and Safari, which account for 16.60 per cent and 8.72 per cent respectively.
Chrome, which recently celebrated its third birthday, experienced the most expansion in October, increasing its share of the desktop market 1.42 per cent.
Safari, the default browser in Apple's iPhone and iPad, continues to increase its dominance over the mobile web, gaining 6.58 per cent of the market. Safari's share is increasing faster than the iPhone's, probably due to how much mobile traffic is now driven by iPads.

Chinese excavate early bronze armorBreaking News
tags: archaeology, China, bronze, West Zhou Dynasty
Archaeologists in northwest China's Shaanxi Province said Sunday that one piece of thigh armor and two pieces of upper-body armor dating back 3,000 years may be the oldest pieces of bronze armor ever unearthed in China.
The announcement was made after experts studied the artifacts retrieved from the tomb of a nobleman from the West Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC - 771 BC) in Shigushan Mountain of Baoji City.
Liu Junshe, head of the excavation team, said the discovery filled in a blank in China's early military history, as excavations of pieces of armor forged during or prior to the Qin Dynasty (221 BC - 206 BC) have been rare....

"It's not fair..."
"It's like a slap in the face..."
"Everybody need the same opportunity for the same wage..."
These are some of the statements from disgruntled Cherokee County Department Heads who held a general discussion with the Cherokee County Supervisors on Tuesday over wages paid County employees.
Many of the Department Heads vented their frustrations to the Board regarding wages and recent wage adjustments at the Cherokee County Courthouse as was reported in the April 20 issue of the Chronicle Times.
At issue were the recent salary increases and employment incentives for several new county and some existing employees.
Recently appointed Cherokee County Conservation Director Chad Brown began the discussion with the Board by saying that it sends the wrong message to County employees and it's an integrity issue that some people get more than others.
"Everybody needs the same opportunity for the same wage and they (the Board) should take a hard look at their recent actions." said Brown.
Brown said he wanted this discussion with the Board, as he stated "it's bad for morale at the Courthouse" and wanted everyone to get pass this.
Brown suggested that the County Heads receive a copy of the Supervisors Minutes so it's not such a shock reading it in the newspaper.
Cherokee County Treasure Hedgie Brandt said, "It's not fair. What do I tell my employees that have been working here for years. Someone new comes along and gets more than someone who has been here more than 30 years. It's like a slap in the face, they ask me why I'm not fighting for them."
Cherokee County Sheriff Dave Scott expressed his frustration by saying, "Why should someone that's doing an election make more than a deputy? A deputy pulls over a car at 1:30 in the morning with four guys in it. Regardless if it ends well or not, there's always a pucker factor. Someone who works 9 to 5 in an office shouldn't make the same wage as that."
Supervisor Chairman Dean Schmidt stated the following to the group, "The people at the Courthouse are excellent employees. The wages that have been offered are to retain the quality of people here. If we don't offer a competitive wage, were going to lose."
Supervisor Mark Leeds said to Scott, "How many applicants do you get when looking for a deputy, 20? There's not that many applicants coming forward to apply for an accounting job, we get maybe three."
Supervisor Terry Graybill added, "Everybody is focusing on if people deserve an increase or not. It's simple. If we don't offer these wages and attract these folks to our County, they will go someplace else. If they have the education and the skills to fill these jobs, this is what we have to do."
Brandt also stated, "These wages reflect that one office is more important than another. There should be a fairer way for people to climb the ladder if they put in their time here. I can't just come in here and ask for raises for my employees."
"Why not?" asked Schmidt.
"I'm not budgeted for it, that's part of the problem. You always give out these salaries after our budget is submitted."
"Hedgie, we can always amend the budget," answered Graybill.
Schmidt continued, "If you can show someone in your office deserves a wage increase, come in and state your case. Department Heads should bring us their recommendations."
"I didn't know I can do that," said Brandt.
Cherokee County Services Director Lisa Langlitz stated that she was unaware of the divisiveness within the Courthouse but said, "I really don't care what other people's salaries are. As far as I'm concerned, it's nobody's business. I worry about my department, but since the Board has opened the door, I will be back, that's for sure."
The discussion soon broke up after many of the Department Heads left the meeting due to the approaching lunch hour.
In other business on the Board agenda on Tuesday, was a meeting with Mark Hecox, Sherree Hausmann and Steve Thomas who requested $50,000 from the Board for the proposed new Spring Lake Yacht Club in Cherokee. The Board kicked around several ideas about funding requests but tabled the issue until a future date.
Cherokee County Human Resources Director brought the Board an employee final payout for Cherokee County Jailer Pam Wetherell. The payout was for the amount of $2,041 and was approved by the Board.
Dave Driggs, Maintenance at the Cherokee County Courthouse, continued his talk with the Board on getting a new yard tractor for the Courthouse to replace an aging lawn mower.
Driggs is currently gathering prices from area business on a new yard tractor with attachments that can remove snow in the winter time, along with getting price quotes from area lumber yards for a new maintenance shed at the Courthouse.
The Board tabled the issue until next week.

BioTrust Reviews
About BioTrust
BioTrust, found online at BioTrust.com, is a new line of health supplements founded by nutritionists Josh Bezoni and Joel Marion that promises to include only top quality, all natural ingredients.
Josh and Joel created BioTrust in 2011 after learning that the health supplement industry in the United States is essentially unregulated. This means that not only do certain supplements not provide the results they promise, but some of them don't even include the ingredients they promise.
As nutritionists who believe that nutritional supplements play an important role in people's health, they decided to create a supplement line that not only has top quality, all natural ingredients, but that also is free from hormones, antibiotics, artificial sweeteners, coloring, flavors, and preservatives.
Their supplement line includes IC-5, which is their supplement for Advanced Insulin and Carbohydrate Management. Though many diets emphasize eating protein and reducing carbohydrates, BioTrust says that you should include carbohydrates in your diet, as long as your body is processing them correctly.
Their IC-5 supplement helps your body process carbs correct because it includes five different ingredients which BioTrust says has been proven to help your body maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
They also offer LeptiBurn, an advanced fat burning hormone supplement which increases your leptin levels, which helps your body burn fat. LeptiBurn includes six different ingredients which BioTrust says have all been shown to help your body burn fat.
A one month supply of any of BioTrust's supplements range between $49.95 and $69.00, depending on what you are ordering. But all of their supplements purchase packages give you the option of purchasing two bottles and receiving a third bottle free, or purchasing four bottles and receiving two bottles for free.
BioTrust also offers a 1 year guarantee. If you return your empty or unused products within one year of the purchase date, you will receive your money back within 3 days.
If you have any experience with this product, please leave your BioTrust reviews below.

Legit company, high quality products!
OK - I seriously NEVER write reviews. I am a skeptic at heart and am always looking for proof that a company is scamming people; I vetted BioTrust thoroughly before trying their products, even reading up on the BBB's website. Most of the complaints I have found about them are because of shipping taking too long or customers thinking they were being told they couldn't return products, and ALL of the complaints I have found were addressed immediately by BioTrust in a friendly and timely manner. So, I decided to give them a shot, and felt that I owed it to them to give a review.
The folks at BioTrust are knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly. I ordered a bottle of LeptiBurn about three to four weeks ago, and I have really loved the product. It doesn't make me feel jittery or stimulated, like a "diet pill," but it does help my body to register a feeling of satiety, which causes me to eat smaller portions. There are many days now where I bring my lunch to work and can only eat half of it.
Keep in mind, this product will not give you results unless you are eating nutritious food and exercising regularly - there's no way around that! But, as someone who recently cut my calories drastically, I was worried about going into "starvation mode" and experiencing a plateau, and that hasn't happened AT ALL.
I also love the fact that you can ask the team a question anytime and they will answer it right away - usually the same day! There's also a forum to read about others' experiences, and they are also extremely responsive on their Facebook page - they are definitely reading users' comments and want to rectify any bad impressions people may have of the company.
And, added bonus, they raise money for hungry kids as well as Make-a-Wish.
I'm a customer for life!
You work for them!
Will definitely be using in the future
I am a diabetic who, after receiving some scary results from my AC1 blood tests (about 7.5), decided to try the IC-5 product. I did watch the long video and although it was a little much, I liked the information about the ingredients, especially about the cinnamon which I have heard is very good for diabetics. I used 3 bottles of the product over the course of about 6 months. I know I didn't take them as much as I should have as it is almost impossible to remember to take them 15 minutes prior to eating on most occasions. Earlier this month I went back to my doctor to have my 6 month blood work. I was ELATED to see that my AC1 had gone from over 7.5 to 6.5! Those who are diabetic understand that we strive to have this number under 7 in order to prevent damage from diabetes, so this was HUGE for me. I did make other changes to my eating (cut alcohol in half, went to mostly organic and changed to Stevia as a substitute for Splenda) but still...this was great. I should also state that when I started taking the Biotrust pills, I also started drinking their protein shakes almost everyday for breakfast. I LOVE the taste of these shakes and they have less sugar than any others I could find. They are also the best tasting by far. Drinking these shakes has stopped me from eating baked goods or other breakfast items that are bad for me. I will continue on with these shakes and IC-5 pills as long as I continue to see improvement in my health. My only complaint is I can't seem to remember to take them as much as I should!
Biotrust Protein/Community: Extraordinary
I was fortunate enough to stumble upon the Biotrust community and protein back in April and it has ultimately changed my view on how health and fitness should be approached.
Let me first start by stating the health and wellness industry has been part of my lifestyle and career for the last 15 years. I've owned an independent pharmacy that wanted to improve the outcomes of all of our patients and a main component is proper nutrition and supplementation. So I have done extensive research in vitamin manufacturing processes and companies to make sure the efficacy is up to a standard that I thought would provide my customers with REAL results. I understand the protein and sport supplement industry and all companies are not created equal. I have tried, studied, and researched proteins as well. Enough about my past.
So, of course I was interested in the Biotrust Protein. i want THE very best supplements going into my body. I work my butt off in the gym and i want to feed my body with the best, so it can grow and maintain optimum health. This is what drew me to Biotrust's protein. They use absolutely the highest grade proteins without GMO's and the taste is truly off the charts. I make ice cream at night out of it and it's ridiculous. Not only do they use the highest grade, they use the perfect combination of the most scientifically bio-avaliable protein. The cost is more than the standard protein, but that's what happens when you use the best ingredients and don't cut corners.
What sets Biotrust apart is the community forum. There you have access to the absolute best nutrition coaches as well as active, positive members that are striving to be the best they can be. The wealth of information you get from this forum is well worth paying a little extra for the BEST protein available.
I would suggest anybody that is interested from novice to expert take a look at the forum and try the supplements, it will change the way you look at an industry that is dogmatic in it's approaches as they all want to sell you the newest and greatest thing. Biotrust approaches each member as an individual and sets programs and nutritional advice to the person and their goals.
My sister has been doing the One Day Diet and she has lost 30 lbs in 3 months. She is more positive, more productive at work, and happier. She has accomplished it on her own, but the ground work guidance, and support came from BT.
I would like to know where BioTrust sources their products from??? This basic info seems to be a secret. I also am concerned about the safety of the products - folks wanting to loose weight will take anything in pill form with a promise even though they have NO CLUE as to where the ingredients are sourced from. Some of the ingredients can be very dangerous to ones immune system and this is just one more of the thousands of companies making big bucks - 99% of the cost is profits.

Thank you, Linda!

Tim, it's important to know what ingredients comprise any given product. .Myself,{ look for ingredients that contain vitamin K. I take coumadin and cannot take vitamin K. Shouldn't a listing of ingredients & vitamins be included on the flyers you send out to sell your products? I was given info on where to find this within the box of Leptiburn I ordered, at great expense.
I found out , after receiving the product that I can't take it!
Very satisfied
I ordered BioTrust chocolate Protein Powder some months ago and I have been using it regularly ever since. Combined with my NutriBullet, it is really fantastic. When I first ordered, I did not want auto shipments but I somehow did get an auto shipment. However, I had no problem at all with Customer Service -- they refunded my money immediately and even let me keep the product that had been shipped!! I plan to explore more of the BioTrust products for health supplements. They are reasonably priced for the market and their Protein Powder supplement is really, really good!! I like the fact that the ingredients are up-front and easily determined -- not in such small print that you struggle to know what the heck is in it. Overall, I am satisfied.
My BioTrust Story
This is not a scam and I'm not getting paid to say this: after years of failing on multiple weight loss programs, I have finally found success in BioTrust! This is not a diet, folks. This is a way of life for me. I never thought I could last more than a few day drinking smoothies (my willpower is virtually non-existent!), but after 3 MONTHS, I am still drinking smoothies and have LOST 18 LBS! The premise is simple: a smoothie twice a day and a sensible dinner. Do this for 6 day, then CHEAT, that's right, CHEAT on day 7. Well, let me tell you people, the smoothies, all home made using natural fruits and veggies, are so delicious, sometimes I don't even want REAL food for dinner.....just another smoothie. My favorite is unsweetened coconut almond milk, vanilla BioTrust protein powder, mango, pineapple and papaya. It's like a piña colada! But then there's also unsweetened chocolate almond milk, chocolate BioTrust protein powder and natural peanut butter. It's like drinking a peanut butter cup! Fantastic! I could go on and on about BioTrust but I think you get the point. IT WORKS AND I LOVE THE NEW ME! If you're sitting on the fence, get off and get started on this program. All you have to lose is fat! Oh, and as an added bonus, I'm not into exercising (ok, I hate it!) and I'm still losing weight. I'm so glad I found this program! Thanks to everyone at BioTrust! - Nancy Richy
My husband has celiac disease and has been on the probiotics that we purchased from BioTrust several months ago. He takes them twice a day and over time his bowel movements have become formed and normal. Even though he had been on a gluten free diet for years, he continued to have bouts of diahreah. We believe that this is a good product.
HOWEVER, we are considering NOT buying from them again because of the HIGH PRESSURE salesmanship techniques they use. I almost backed out on them. I also think that other companies sell just as good probiotics as Bio Trust. I just HATE being manipulated and hassled and having them waste my time.
I, too am turned off by having to watch a slow, droning-on, simplistic, ever-repeating video filled with high pressure sales tactics. Makes me doubt their credibility - such sales tactics seem sleazy, which makes me wonder about the products themselves.
Wish there was a way to click the link and just READ the information, plain and simple, at my preferred rate of speed, rather than sit painfully through these silly videos! Huge waste of my time!
Hi Diane,
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback. We truly appreciate our outstanding customers, and we take their suggestions to heart in an effort to provide the best all-around experience possible.
If you'd prefer not to watch our informational videos, don't worry, we've got you covered, and you have several options to read the content.
*You can always head over to BioTrust.com and select the product about which you'd like to learn and simply click the "Read More..." button in the middle of the page.
*You can download the free report that is associated with the longer videos, as they contain the copy (i.e., script) to the video that is being played. For example, you can download the following free report to learn about the content shared in the Inflammation Solution video:
*When viewing the longer videos, if you click to close the window, you'll be prompted to "Stay on" or "Leave" the page. If you choose the former, you'll be taken to another webpage where you can read similar content to that which is being presented.
I hope that you find one of these options to be helpful and valuable investment of your time. Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me directly: email@example.com.
My best,
Customer Service!
Yesterday (mid-day) I ordered my first products. During my morning walk today, I saw a Fed X truck go by but thought nothing of it. When I got home, there was a Bio Trust box on my front steps! Less than 24 hours! I ordered extra as I spend much of my time overseas. Now I am anxious to find out about international delivery. That would save me a carry-on!
Love Love your products!!!1
I've been using your products, for about 6 mos. Love the cookies!
I have a house cleaning business, and I have developed arthritis due to constant use of my hands. I have tried other Omega products
but they did not help. Until I started taking Omegakrill 5x, and I have to say the pain and inflammation are gone!!!!!!!!!! I placed an order today. I spoked, to Faith (CS) and she was so pleasant to talk to.
Thank you,
Alba Culver
BellyTrim XP seems to be working
I have use BioTrims's products including Pro X-10, Protein Powder (I much prefer the vanilla to the chocolate and I am not typically a vanilla fan), the bars as well as the cookies (get the oatmeal raisin). Overall I am very happy with their products and the results. About 2 weeks ago I started on the BellyTrim XP to help get rid of that last bit of winter. While it is too soon to say "wow", I can say that I have had no side effects, I am losing weight easier than before and I have more energy (never sure if that is a coincidence.)
Another thing I can say with certainty is that the BioTrim customer service is absolutely fantastic!
BioTrim??? What about BioTrust?
Hi Jonatan,
The products (e.g., Pro-X10, BioTrust Low Carb protein, BioTrust Organic Protein Bars, BioTrust Protein Cookies, BellyTrim XP) that Brian mentioned in his review are all BioTrust supplements:
What is belly trim X and where can I find it?
I can't exactly tell you what it is or specifically what it does. Yes I have read the label and reviews. All I can say is that someone I trust completely highly recommended Belly Trim, so I ordered 3 bottles. I am about 60 days in and I believe it is doing a good job. Like all nutraceuticals, do we ever really know??? Will I order more Belly Trim, yes. I am a believer in all the biotrust products. I love the oatmeal raisin cookies for a snack, start my days with protein powder drinks and take ProX 10. I am out of Omega Dessert, but waiting until I need more other products before I re-order.
Leptiburn - ABSOLUTELY it works
Hey Guys!
I'm not sure if you've had a chance to review the presentation about Leptiburn on BioTrust's website, but it makes A LOT of sense to me. (Please review it if you haven't yet).
I would also like to add and resonate one thing from that web site ; our bodies (and minds) DO still think we live in 10,000 B.C and killing woolly mammoths for a living. Why else do you think females these days still HIGHLY value tall men? I mean if you REALLY honestly think about this sans bias for one second, if two men were to get into a car accident today, what are the chances the dispute about which party is going to pay for the damage is determined by height? Is the shorter man going to pay? What if the taller man was at fault 100%? Is the shorter man still going to pay? This may have been true thousands of years ago but (sorry to veer off course so much but bear with me for 1 second) the law offers security, peace and protection to EVERYONE these days. Hence, a shorter man today is at no disadvantage today compared to his taller counterpart. Cuz come to think of it, is a tall bank employee any less likely to be robbed than a shorter one?
Haha, nope. None of that applies today. So long as you at least live in the Western World, the law makes security evenly available to EVERYONE. Yet still, females will almost always choose a tall mate over a shorter one for the apparent psychological reason that a taller man offers more security.
This is very strong evidence that our psyches still operate as if we lived in 10,000 B.C. There is no guarantee of the next meal and when it will come. We live in caves and don't have access to refrigerators to keep a steady supply of food coming. But our biochemical machinery DOESN'T know that this is NO LONGER TRUE.
Hence, when we start to diet, our body goes into panic mode. It limits our caloric spending. And HOLDS ON to the fat around our gut, thighs, arms - wherever like it's staying alive depended on it. And it did - in 10,000 B.C. But not anymore. Fat was a precious resource for the body to be utilized slowly for energy and warmth over long periods of starvation. And this is why when we diet, our leptin levels fall, causing us to hit weight loss plateaus. We eat less and less, suffer more and lose less and less weight. Becoming bitter and miserable in the meanwhile. Until that ONE final moment when we break, order an extra large party pizza, pop open a 2 L bottle of pop, put on a movie and say "scr*w you!" to our weight loss plans. Only to wake up to misery, regret and shame the next morning.
Look no further guys, I have been through all this myself. I can provide before and after pictures. I have tried leptiburn AND IT WORKS! Just be sure to drink A LOT of water (I drink ~2 L everyday). But everyone's daily water drinking requirement may be different so talk to your health care professional about how much water you should be drinking. Stay away from obviously careless eating like liquid calories (I avoid all juice, soda pop), avoid processed carbs, anything that has high-fructose-corn-syrup and EXCESSIVE amounts of carbs like pasta, white rice, etc. I mean if you are near-full at 1 plate, DON'T get a second serving!
Keep your total daily energy expenditure and total caloric intake in mind and be sure to create a deficit daily and you should lose weight (unless you have a medical condition).
The recommended dosage with Leptiburn is 2 capsules in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. I don't feel wired with it but I do feel like it raises my body temperature by a very small amount. But then again, I haven't taken any body temperature readings and this may only be a feeling. Drinking lots of water helps me keep cool. Try it guys, it worked for me.
Thank you,

Well Worth the Money
I stumbled across BioTrust's website through another website (Beyond Diet) and I am so grateful I did! Since mid-January I've lost more than 40 pounds. I've been using LeptiBurn and the Low Carb Protein Powder. This protein powder is the best-tasting I've ever used. (I think I'm addicted to my kale + yogurt + berry smoothie with vanilla protein powder. I can't imagine anything else for breakfast.) And I've just added their probiotic into the mix too.
In addition to their supplements, a huge contributing factor of my success so far is the support and inspiration I get from connecting with other folks on BioTrust's Forum. The coaches there are so supportive and enthusiastic and chock full of great information. And the other BioTrust customers chime in every day with inspirational stories and warm encouragement. The products may seem pricy at first, but they give great discounts if you buy in bulk. I HIGHLY recommend BioTrust.
I have quite a bit more weight to lose (I'm not even halfway yet), but I am confident I can finally release this weight with BioTrust's help. Their products are worth every penny.
High-Quality Products, Superior Customer Service
I was first introduced to BioTrust about a year and a half ago through my boot camp. I was 40+ pounds overweight, completely uneducated around supplements and protein powders, and pretty intimidated by the whole fitness/nutrition industry. I bought a container of their BioTrust Low-Carb protein powder and instantly fell in love. It mixes VERY well, tastes amazing, and is great to use in protein pancakes, waffles, and cupcakes :o) It's the best blended protein that I've ever had, and I've tried numerous different brands.
Two things really set BioTrust above all other protein powder and supplement providers out there:
1. They post a ton of background information about what's actually in their products. As a daughter of two people in the medical field and a member of a farming family, I care about putting good, natural ingredients in my body. BioTrust leaves no room for questioning what you really get when you use their stuff: great-tasting, high-quality ingredients.
2. You will NOT get better customer service anywhere else. Seriously. If you email, call, or even mention them over social media, you'll hear back almost instantaneously. I'm a sucker for that. They prove that they actually care about their customers.
I've used their protein powder consistently for the last year and a half. Combine that solid product with lots of education on eating whole foods (along with some great tips that I received from the BioTrust newsletter, which is also awesome), consistent exercise, and a good support system, and today, I'm down 50 pounds/well over 20% body fat. I'm finally healthy and happy with my body, and BioTrust helped me get here. Sure, their stuff isn't cheap -- but there's a reason for that. You get what you pay for, and in my opinion, their products are WELL worth the price tag.
Life Changing!
I have been looking for products such as BioTrust since I was diagnosed with Leukemia 4 years ago. I am constantly fatigued and anemic. Since using your Protein Powders (Incredible flavor by the way) and using the one day diet plan with the IC-5, I have had more energy than I could imagine! I have lost 20 lbs. in the last month and my husband has noticed the big difference in my energy and he is liking the weight loss also. I will continue to use your products and have developed an Organic lifestyle and really enjoying the flavor of whole foods. I can't wait to try the rest of the products BioTrust offers.
I too have Leukemia and have constant fatigue. I was trying to find out if this nutritional supplement would work. firstname.lastname@example.com
I can tell you first hand that I noticed right away I had more energy. I started with the IC-5 for a couple of weeks and then decided to do the protein shakes and it improved even more. My side effects from the Chemo are all but gone ie: Pain, Fatigue etc. Just speaking for myself.
BioTrust Nutrition Products, Newsletter, and Customer Service = A+
Nov 5, 2013 began the decent into full blown dementia episodes.
My Brilliant, articulate husband was replaced by someone I now had to dress because he put clothes on backwards, and it escalated to paranoia that I was taking all his money and leaving him.
Drake Virgin's story was shown on CNN, January 2014.
My BioTrust newsletter came advertizing OmegaKrill 5x and I ordered it.
I am giving him BioTrust.com OmegaKrill5x. (which I decided to use a kitchen timer and give one per hour all day long)
In just one month of doing so, about 4 bottles, and using the timer for hourly doses, he is 90% himself again!
He is now walking two miles a day, dressing himself correctly, mowing the lawn by himself, and we are having wonderful intelligent conversations again!
Although this is a method outside of any recommendations of BioTrust Nutritionals, I wanted to share our experience in case it can help others.
I enjoy the BioTrust Nutritionals informational newsletter, and Customer Service reps are courtious and helpful, and shipping was prompt. Can't get any better than that in my opinion.
Who needs the result - find it in Biotrust!
I'm surprised judgments about the product by the presence of the buttons in the video:)))
I'll be brief - I lost 67 pounds. Biotrust helped me do it! They have high quality products. No problems with delivery or payment. There is a forum for discussion of products or methods to achieve the goal (and this is important). I do not know the people who work in Biortust personally, but I feel their support and participation - it gives me strength and confidence. I know I can rely on them and trust them. Thank you for what you are doing for us!
Thank you for the opportunity of reviewing Bio-Trust Nutrition products and their support teams. I am a retired Banker, aged 70, from the UK. I had 40 years experience in Business & Commerce, writing many reports and reviews on many businesses.
I am overweight, with elevated blood pressure and border-line Diabetes. Through an excellent weight loss Plan for Life, I have lost weight (28 lbs) but more importantly, from that plan learned the importance of controlling your bodies Leptin and Insulin. Leptin is the signal your body sends to your brain, that you are replete and no need to keep eating. Insulin obviously controls your blood sugar levels and the effects of not doing so, are very well known.
Although the diet starts to address that imbalance, the creator of that plan highly recommended using Bio-Trust products – Leptiburn (does what is says on the tin) and IC-5 for reducing Insulin resistance. These have greatly boosted the effects as well as encouraging my body to burn fat not sugar.
I had cause to contact the Bio Trust Customer Service Team to help track my products to the UK. I remembered reading somewhere, that their service reputation was second to none. A label they truly deserve. My interaction with the Bio Trust Forum team was a totally unexpected, but huge bonus, In the past, I have never felt inclined to become a member of a Forum, but count my blessings I joined this one. Not only is it good to interact with fellow dieters and sufferers, but the genuine and heartfelt advice from the Forum Team, is inspirational, informed and they are totally dedicated to helping their members achieving their health goals
A great product
I have been using biotrust products for 3 months and with the help of the proper diet (mostly the 1 day diet) and some exercise I have lost 30 lbs so far. It's a great company with great all natural products that blows the competition out of the water
What product are you using?
Amazing customer service
I live in London, England. A few weeks ago I ordered 3 tubs of Bio Carb, for some unknown reason, it did not agree with me. I contacted the customer service who were amazing. They offered me several very generous options to compensate for my inconvenience - which was not their fault.
I have never encountered this kind of service in England. Based on my positive experience, I would actively encourage anyone to buy from Biotrust and I am looking forward to try more products.
Kind regards

Purchased BioTrust's Omega 3 product. To early to confirm J$J's promises, however, the Customer Support was, as we Marines say "outstanding" Am looking forward to purchasing other products and spreading them to my six children. Colonel (S) L. P. Wein, USMC (Disabled)
Awesome products, the best customer service and an all around great company :) This is gonna sound like an infomercial but for me Biotrust is by far the best company in the supplement industry.
Quick opinion on the different products....
Low Carb Protein:
It tastes really great, Also works well for cooking. As for all the science and ingredients behind it - check out the website ;) Noticed a considerable positive change (workouts, etc.).
Protein Bars:
Taste great as well. Usually use them after a workout. It's like it doesn't even taste like a protein bar but like a super deicious chocolate bar.
Omega Dessert:
Really deserves it's name. Yeah, it tastes that great. You won't believe it till you try it.
Leptiburn / IC-5 / BCAAs are a part of my daiily routine and a cornerstone of my fitness success.
I don't use the cookies but they did send me a sample once and they are really good as well.
As for customer service:
The forums are great - you get fast and intelligent answers. I'm constantly emailing with a coach and it does not feel like a support guy emailing me. It's like he's a buddy of mine (I actually consider him a buddy haha). I can't stress it enough: It's by far the best customer service I have ever experienced anywhere. Quick example: They sent me IC-5 instead of Leptiburn by accident (I've ordered a lot and this is the only thing that ever went "wrong")... so what do they do? I can keep all the IC-5 and I get a reship of the original Leptiburn - cost free.
So well - what else can I say. I love those guys. So happy to have found them.

PWR BTTM is an American queer punk duo composed of Liv Bruce and Ben Hopkins. Gender and sexuality are major topics in the music of PWR BTTM. Bruce and Hopkins identify as queer, and address this in the music they make. They discussed the subject of creating "queer" rock music in an interview with Village View:
"We're queer people, and our truth is that and the music we make, and what we say in our music is representative of who we are . It is us making ourselves feel less alone through our work. Sexuality has always been a part of rock music but that didn't necessarily mean that it was queer. One of the things that made me excited about writing about my own sexuality and asserting it was doing that in a queer voice and using that to tell a queer story."

Reckless is set in the Scandinavian suburbs during the hottest summer day. It narrates an episode in the life of two siblings. Sofia is a beautiful blonde 15 year old girl and Mads is her little brother. When their parents decide to spend a weekend away, the girl is asked to baby-sit her brother – a task she seems reluctant to execute, so she takes him to the swimming pool. Here, she meets two boys that try to hit on her. Their interest is returned, and she leaves the child to himself, without thinking of the consequences.
It is clear that we are faced with a softly controversial film whose plot moves on two connected wires, where eroticism and social drama are interwoven, in a blurred line between a casual incident and recklessness. On one side, the man focus for Sorensen seems to be softly pushing the magnet of attraction until it reaches the sexual encounter between the teenagers: everything seems to happen with a certain naturalness. He gradually moves towards the intimacy of sex until he reaches a ménage à trois free from every morbidity, respecting the (surprising) innocence of these teens without indulging in an indiscreet gaze. The erotic charge is preserved in its spontaneity, which is not easy to accomplish.
The other strand is linked to the dramatic component that derives from Sofia's failure to take care of her little brother, a task that her parents gave her perhaps without giving it too much thought.
Even if it would have elements to work on, Reckless does not attempt to engage in a specific discourse, but only wants to suggest something, leaving its message open, impressed on the "skin" of its characters. Several elements hint in this direction: the warmth of the light on the bodies, the cinematography that employs warm tones, the cream smeared on the body, the first physical contact, the water that glides on the bodies in the shower, the drop of blood that falls from Mads' face. The viewer is left with a feeling of insolvency, taken by a double spiral of dizziness, the erotic charge of love and the violence of Mads' drama. If the former is vented, the latter is there, suspended, waiting to be let out.
I would have loved to show you the actual short but couldn't find any source that would have been somewhat legal to link to, let us know in the comments if you had more luck.

A journalist pays the ultimate price in Syria
24 Oct 2012 11:56 GMT | Environment, Europe, France, Portugal, Spain
The European Union (EU) has agreed to maintain controversial fishing subsidies, sparking a sharp response from environmental groups who say the payments contribute to overfishing of already stressed stocks.
After tough, drawn-out talks which went into the night, a draft statement, agreed on Wednesday morning said that EU ministers would keep subsidies for modernising fishing fleets through to 2017 as part of a wider policy to put the industry on a sustainable basis.
The subsidies pay for modernising existing vessels or taking older boats out of the fleet and are jealously guarded by the main fishing powers France, Portugal and especially Spain.
Critics, however, say this only increases fishing capacity at a time when the focus should be on reducing the catch so as to allow stocks to recover.
The Greenpeace environmental group dismissed Wednesday's accord under the headline "European ministers want to continue bankrolling overfishing."
It said EU ministers were "selling out to the short-term economic interests of the industrial fishing industry, instead of putting Europe's fisheries onto a path of recovery.
"Many parts of the EU fishing fleet are already able to catch two to three times more than is sustainable, but ministers ... have signalled that they want to continue funnelling subsidies into the modernisation of vessels."
Under current arrangements EU funding has increased the capacity of fleets and led to widespread over-exploitation of fish stocks.
The new plan is to help fleets switch to more sustainable fishing. It is part of the 10-year reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).
In June, the EU agreed a series of reforms, chief among them proposals to set so-called Maximum Sustainable Yields (MSY) the maximum amount of fish that can be caught without compromising a stock's ability to reproduce.
Scientists say, for example, that 80 per cent of Mediterranean stocks are overfished although the situation has improved in Atlantic waters.
Combined, the EU counts as the world's third biggest fishing power, making what it does a key marker for the global industry.
