Aspects of the energetics of the cockle Chione (Austrovenus) stutchburyi in the Avon-Heathcote Estuary, Christchurch, New Zealand. R.L. Stephenson. Department of Zoology, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. 1981. Aspects of the energy flow through Chione (Austrovenus) stutchburyi (Wood, 1828), a major member of the benthic macrofaunal community of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary, are investigated in order to define the role of this species and to test the hypothesis that this animal has a major role in the energy flow of the entire system. An historical account of the small (6 km2 area), shallow, mainly intertidal, bar-built, Avon-Heathcote Estuary (44°33'S, 172°44'E) documents the alteration in physical and biological characteristics with the expansion of the city of Christchurch within its drainage basin. In an introduction to the cockle, the nomenclature is discussed, and a description of larval development of C. stutchburyi reared in the laboratory is presented. The distribution of C. stutchburyi in the Avon-Heathcote Estuary was analysed from a survey of 200 sites. Relationships between size, weight and age, based upon 1000 individuals, allowed estimates of biomass and production; and their spatial distribution. Distribution is shown to be limited to levels on the shore with greater than 1.5 hours of water cover per tide and to sediments containing less than 50% mud and a mean sand diameter smaller than 2.25 ø. Preference of C. stutchburyi for greater than nine hours of water cover per tide, 10-30% mud content of the sediment, 2.5 - 3.0 ø mean sand diameter and 2.7 ø median sand diameter was assessed by analysis of the distribution of biomass and density. Density manipulation field experiments were conducted in an attempt to define the magnitude and distribution of recruitment, and to investigate the response of adult populations to disturbance and changes in density. Energy budget calculations for C. stutchburyi show a total winter biomass of 8.2 x 107 to 1.7 x 109 g in the Avon-Heathcote Estuary (energy content of 1.62 x 109 to 3.4 X 1010 kJ). On an areal basis, energy assimilated is estimated to be 4.3 x 102 to 4.7 X 103 kJ m-2 yr-1 ; between respiration (96.7 - 2.0 x 103 kJ m- 2 yr-1 ) and total production (3.3 x 102 - 2.7 X 103 kJ m-2 yr-1). Total production is partitioned into production of body growth (32.2 - 2.0 x 102 kJ m-2 yr-1), production of reproductive products (1.1 x 102 - 2.3 X 103 kJ m-2 yr-1) and mortality (2.0 x 102 kJ m-2 yr-1). A stable carbon isotope study of C. stutchburyi and possible food sources revealed a range in б13 C values of cockle tissue in parts of the population separated by less than two km, but subject to different hydrological regimes: This is clearly attributable to differences in the marine and terrestrial contributions of carbon to the suspended particle load (and therefore the diet), and proves that C. Stutchburyi utilises allochthonous organic carbon from the drainage basin, as well as marine carbon. Energy flow through the entire estuary (calculated by the energy analysis methods of H.T. Odum) is estimated to be approximately 5.2 x 106 kJ m-2 yr-1. The physical energy in flows of freshwater and the tide is the most significant contribution, followed by nutrient energy input from the Bromley Oxidation Ponds and the chemical energy of seawater dilution by freshwater. Two models of energy flow through C. stutchburyi and other major compartments of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary are presented and used to simulate the removal of oxidation pond discharge. From these models it is concluded that a significant proportion of the cockle population may be supported by the energy in pond discharge. Although the total energy flow through the C. stutchburyi population is small in comparison to that of the whole estuary (5.2 x 10-2%), the cockle is concluded to be especially important to the energetics of the entire estuary because of the high connectivity with other components of the system, and its intimate association with the particulate organic matter food chain.

Crapex again
Australia's long slow march to zero interest rates continues, it seems.
Private new capital expenditure declined by 4.4 per cent in the first quarter to be 5.3 per cent lower than one year ago at $35.9 billion.
Mining capex has now fallen from $24.2 billion to $18.9 billion, and investment levels inevitably have a long way to fall yet given the scale of the boom.
The state level data shows how Queensland and Western Australia will bear the brunt of the declines.
Western Australia has held up relatively well to date, with some iron ore investment still washing through the quarterly data.
Mining still accounts for a whopping 84 per cent of capital expenditure in Western Australia on this survey.
Mining still accounts for a whopping 84 per cent of capital expenditure in Western Australia on this survey.
However, Queensland is already into a very sharp decline from $12.1 billion of total capital expenditure in Q3 2013 to just $7.9 billion in Q1 2015.
While "other industries" are picking up a small amount of the slack, Queensland's mining and resources regions seem likely to be in for a tough few years ahead.
I've already listed a number of Queensland regions which I expect to endure the worst of the fallout, so there is no need to re-cap on that here.
Expected declines for mining ahead
The most alarming part of this release was not, however, the "actual" expenditure to date, but the "expected".
Total capital expenditure is broadly expected to fall by nearly 25 per cent from $149 billion in 2014-15 to just $104 billion in 2015-16.
The main driver of this is to be another sizeable decline in mining capex, from $78 billion to only $52 billion.
So much for the forthcoming normalisation of interest rates - markets are already beginning to look for another cut.

As we grow older, the skin also begins to undergo a series of changes that we might not agree on at times. For instance, the loss of elasticity can be somewhat frustrating especially when you don't know just what to do about it.
Another thing that causes most people to lose their peace is the acne condition. This is an age-old problem that not everyone is familiar with. Those that are living with its horrendous effects already know just how frustrating it is. On the bright side, there are better and safer ways to curb it. Here are some of them.
See a Specialist
The last thing to do when you are an acne victim is to pop pimples all the time. Take it easy and book an appointment with a specialist in acne treatment. This step would be even more effective if the specialist in question has been on this field for years on end. At least, you can rest assured that your acne problems will fly out the window for good.
However, most of the procedures and solutions offered doesn't mean that they will work instantly. You have to be patient and cooperate with the specialist that you choose to settle for. With time, acne will be the least of your worries. At the same time, you will be required to take good care of your skin to keep it at bay.
Cleanse Your Skin
Most cases of acne come about as a result of too much dirt clogging up the pores. When this happens, the skin is not allowed space to breathe, and the result is quite traumatizing. In worst case scenarios, the breakout could even lead to depression when not treated immediately.
Take the first step by cleansing your skin with soap recommended by a certified dermatologist. Be as keen as can be on the cleansing part as this is what determines the rest of the turnout. Do this as frequently as twice every day. Since the skin is alive, impurities of all kinds tend to accumulate leaving you with the task of cleansing it all afresh.
Avoid Chemicals
This point is meant especially for the ladies. If you have to put on makeup as a lady, ensure that they are completely natural and do not contain all sorts of harmful chemicals. In most cases, these are usually the cause of all the acne cases we hear of today.
Do your research for you to know what you are getting your skin into. After all, knowledge has the power to bring down strongholds such as these. Equip yourself with knowledge from all credible sources. Read all about it and be sure to follow the instructions to the letter as long as its genuine information.
Check Your Diet
Unbeknownst to most of us, the diet you take is also responsible for your acne condition. As much as possible, try to consume only food items that will see to a healthy formation of your skin structure. Oily foods, such as potato chips and others, must be avoided at all costs. Instead, replace them with plenty of fresh fruits and clean water. This flushes out all toxic impurities from your system.

Officials tell The Associated Press that the Environmental Protection Agency has concluded greenhouse gases are endangering people's health and must be regulated.
The EPA will announced its findings at a news conference today.
The announcement is timed to boost the Obama administration's arguments at an international climate conference — beginning this week — that the United States is taking actions to combat global warming, even though Congress has yet to act on climate legislation.
Under a Supreme Court ruling, the so-called endangerment finding is needed before the EPA can regulate carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases released from power plants, factories and automobiles under the federal Clean Air Act.

DetailsSperm whale _Designed by YahooJAPAN ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:182337 ) _Sperm whale (Physeter catodon), also called cachalot, the largest of the toothed whales, easily recognized by its enormous square head and narrow lower jaw. The sperm whale is dark blue-gray or brownish, with white patches on the belly. It is thickset and has small paddlelike flippers and a series of rounded humps on its back. Males attain a maximum length of about 19 metres (62 feet) and females about 12 metres. _Sperm whales are deep divers, commonly reaching a depth of about 350 metres, and have been found tangled in cables more than 1,000 metres below the surface. It is not uncommon for sperm whales to dive for an hour or more and then spend about 10 minutes at the surface breathing once every 10 seconds. They can cruise at a speed of 4 knots (7.4 km/hr; 4.6 mph) and swim in spurts at up to 20 knots. _These cetaceans are found in temperate and tropical waters throughout the world, usually in pods (groups) of about 15 to 20; solitary males, however, may wander into colder regions. Sperm whales attain sexual maturity at 7 to 13 years of age and physical maturity at 25 to 45 years and have been recorded to live as long as 62 years. They feed primarily on cephalopods, including the giant squid (Architeuthis dux). Weight figures are usually estimates, but in 1937 a pair of stranded male sperm whales were measured intact in the Netherlands: one was 16 metres long and weighed 39 tons, and the other was 18 metres and 53 tons. _The sperm whale is the most evolutionarily modified of the toothed whales. The head constitutes one-third of the total body length and, it is estimated, greater than a third of the body weight. The lower jaw is usually equipped with 36 to 50 large conical teeth; the upper jaw holds a variable number of vestigial teeth that do not erupt. The head features an elaborately developed nose and upper lip where the fluid-filled spermaceti organ (which whalers called the case) is located; sperm oil and spermaceti were extracted from this fluid for lighting and lubrication. The spermaceti organ is unique to sperm whales. It has a volume as large as 2,000 litres (530 gallons) and can extend through 40 percent of the whale's length. _Sperm whales were once commercially valuable and were hunted for several centuries. The White Whale hunted in Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick (1851) is presumably an albino sperm whale. Ambergris, a material sometimes found floating in the sea, is thought to be formed in the sperm whale's intestines around a core of undigested solid matter such as squid beaks.

The Anadrol 50 is a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) derived anabolic steroid that's closely associated with methyl-dihydrotestosterone. Oxymetholone is DHT having an additional 2-hydroxymethylene class, which considerably enhances its anabolic action. It's likewise a C17-alpha alkylated (C17-aa) anabolic steroid. This describes a structural modification of this hormone in the 17th carbon place which enables it to be ingested.
Anadrol carries a very high anabolic evaluation that's three times greater than testosterone. But, its androgenic quality is quite low, but also somewhat misleading. Anadrol has a propensity to be more androgenic than its score would suggest. The metabolism of the steroid readily eliminates the 2-hydroxymethylene class, at least in part, thus reducing the hormone into methyldihdrotestosterone.
Anadrol is a really strong anabolic which may lead to a user gaining substantial amounts of muscles. Anadrol also makes workouts much more enjoyable because of having substantial pumps and a huge strength increases. Many gym enthusiasts choose Anadrol arbitrarily, without touching up their nourishment or workouts, which will not lead to enormous gains. Another reason why some may not encounter fantastic effects on Anadrol is simply that they have not obtained a fantastic provider or they don't follow the best dosage plan.

Other Names For Anadrol
Anadrol steroid has become the most common name for the chemical oxymetholone, also has become the de-facto title for the medication itself. Additionally, it has been promoted under the title Anapolon. From the dark market names such as A-Drol, Ana, Anadrol, Anadrol-50, and Ana are very typical in referencing oxymetholone.
What's Oxymetholone Or Anadrol Use?
The primary clinical applications of A-drol was treating anemia and osteoporosis, however as new drugs had been created, Anadrol steroid has been used to treat HIV patients, plus it even was used to fight disease in the third world states. Bodybuilders and athletes utilize Anadrol for quick increases in muscle mass throughout their bulking phases of an Anadrol cycle.
Anadrol Benefits
Click Here To Buy Anadrol 50 From Crazy Bulk + Buy 2 Get 1 Free Promo Available
Increased Appetite and Weight Gain — Bodybuilders and athletes use the Anadrol steroid to precisely raise their appetites and boosts the anabolic processes inside their own bodies, allowing for enormous muscle gains.
Increased Red Blood Cell Count — For individuals with anemia, enhancing the red blood cell count is life-saving. For bodybuilders, however, it translates into enhanced energy and endurance. The more red blood cells you have, the more nutrients and oxygen are sent directly to muscle cells.
But while using the Anadrol steroid as a performance enhancer, bodybuilders use a lot more than that which physicians prescribe to their patients. This implies it's essential that they monitor themselves against the growth of unwanted side effects.
How Does Anadrol Works?
A-Drol works by helping to improve the production of red blood cells. Red blood cells are what transport oxygen through your body. More red blood cells mean more oxygen and enhanced circulation of oxygen in your muscles. During a workout, oxygen generates 'power'. More energy means that you can lift more weight, and lifting more weight means gaining more muscle.
If your muscles are short on oxygen, then they get exhausted and cannot lift as much weight. A-Drol can offer your muscles with more oxygen and more fuel, which then can allow for more expansion and delayed muscle fatigue. Additionally, but oxygen is also key for muscle healing so that you may add rapid recovery to the listing of possible benefits. A-Drol ingredients are selected to make a superb supplement that's also quite safe.
Anadrol Effects on Body

I think, so as to acquire a comprehensive comprehension of this Anadrol 50 impacts in your mind, we will need to have a look at its benefits contrasted with its own disadvantages. Anadrol is a DHT-derived compound, also is 17-Alpha-Alkylated steroid, which means that it's been worked out at the 17th carbon place to sustain oral ingestion. Most oral steroids are 17aa, and this helps them make it through your liver in a handy form. Sounds fantastic, right? Lets 17alpha-alkylate everything! Well as you can imagine, there is a downside.
Anadrol Side Effects
There are numerous potential side effects of Anadrol. The Oxymetholone hormone isn't what we would tag side effect friendly, but safe usage is possible. With responsible use, many healthy adult guys may use this steroid without any complications as a result of unwanted effects of Anadrol. But despite accountable use, the unwanted effects of Anadrol may nevertheless appear, but in a manner that is comprehensible. To be able to accomplish this amount of control the initial step would be to recognize the potential side effects of Anadrol. From there we will need to comprehend what we can do about them if they happen, in addition to measures to decrease the likelihood of these effects occurring.
Estrogenic Negative Effects of Anadrol:
The Oxymetholone hormone is a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) derived anabolic androgenic steroid. This hormone doesn't aromatize; nevertheless, unlike many DHT chemicals, it's highly estrogenic. Because of this, the side effects of Anadrol can incorporate gynecomastia and extra water retention. Actually, intense water retention isn't rare with this steroid.
To be able to combat the estrogenic side effects of Anadrol, most guys will turn into anti-estrogens. Aromatase Inhibitors (AI's) which are usually used because of their extreme power because they inhibit aromatization. But when it concerns the side effects of Anadrol there isn't any aromatization to inhibit, there's not any testosterone to estrogen conversion. AI's do seem to provide some protection, but frequently Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM's) are required. SERM's, while they will not lose estrogen, will attach to the nitric oxide preventing estrogenic activity at the place. No matter the amount of SERM or even AI, many guys will require some kind of anti-estrogen so as to combat the estrogenic side effects of Anadrol.
Androgenic Side Effects of Anadrol:
Anadrol, such as most DHT chemicals, may cause androgenic side effects and significantly so. Acne, body hair growth and baldness are possible for this steroid. However, such side effects of Anadrol are strongly determined by genetic predispositions. If you're not able to male pattern hair loss, you are likely to lose your hair regardless of what you can do, but using Anadrol may speed this up. People that aren't predisposed won't shed any hair.
Likewise, individuals who are allergic to acne might discover breakouts to be a problem. People that are not will seldom have an issue. If you're sensitive, staying dry and clean at all times can help. This usually means showering any moment you become sweaty or shifting to a fresh, dry top and showering after possible.
An important notice — that the androgenicity of Anadrol cannot be reduced by means of a 5-alpha reduce inhibitor. Many steroid users may use such inhibitors to protect against the androgenicity of a steroid, but it won't use Anadrol. The Oxymetholone hormone isn't metabolized by the 5-alpha reductase enzyme and relevant inhibitors will not have any effect.
Cardiovascular Side Effects of Anadrol:
The cardio side effects of Anadrol are possibly the most concerning. The unwanted effects of Anadrol can contain hypertension and higher cholesterol. Should you suffer from high blood pressure or cholesterol you shouldn't supplement with this particular anabolic steroid.
For many guys, should they restrain water retention that they won't have a problem with higher blood pressure. But, controlling water retention can be challenging for a lot of guys with this steroid. You'll have to keep your eye on your blood pressure throughout the whole period of usage. Preventing different activities which increased high blood pressure can also be advised like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and surplus sodium intake.
The side effects of Anadrol may also incorporate increases in LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) in addition to important HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) suppression. This may be controlled, however as with blood pressure, it takes some effort. Most guys are invited to supplement using a cholesterol antioxidant nutritional supplement, however, this is simply the initial step. The person's diet has to be cholesterol favorable.
A cholesterol favorable diet will probably be reduced in saturated fats and sugars. It is going to also be abundant in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Daily fish oil supplementation is recommended. The patient also needs to ensure he contains daily cardiovascular action to his or her routine. Healthy adult men who follow such measures, assuming there isn't any inherent problem, ought to have the ability to steer clear of the cardiovascular side effects of Anadrol.
Irrespective of genetics, your daily diet or nutritional supplements might be taking the negative effects of Anadrol which include the reduction of natural testosterone production in most men who do nutritional supplement. As a result of this suppression, many guys are invited to supplement using some type of exogenous testosterone. The kind of testosterone you decide on is inconsequential. The one thing which matters is that the body is given what it requires to be able to get a minimal testosterone state to be averted.
While the side effects of Anadrol contain testosterone suppression, after use is stopped, most of the exogenous hormones will have eliminated the systems natural production and begins again by itself. To be able to facilitate a smooth restoration, most guys have to employ a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) program once all steroid usage is stopped.
Much like testosterone reduction, the unwanted effects of Anadrol revolving round hepatotoxicity are ensured. This really is a C17-alpha alkylated (C17-aa) anabolic steroid, and no matter the genetics that makes it hepatotoxic. Liver enzyme values increase with usage. This doesn't imply harm has happened, but it's a sign of anxiety and potential harm to come. If your liver isn't healthy you shouldn't supplement with this steroid.
If you're healthy enough to use it, so as to prevent liver damage you'll have to adhere to a set of tips. If you're healthy enough to be used, should you comply with these tips, whilst receptor worth will increase with usage they'll go back to normal soon after use is stopped and no harm will be done. The principles are as follows:
- Avoid extra alcohol intake: Heavy alcohol intake is extremely vulnerable to the liver. Preventing all alcohol intake is not a terrible idea, particularly if Anadrol use is for the purpose of performance improvement.
- Prevent over the Counter (OTC) drugs as soon as possible. Most OTC meds are hepatotoxic. In reality, many are somewhat more hepatotoxic than several anabolic steroids.
- Don't supplement with another C17-aa steroid when utilizing Anadrol.
- Complete use shouldn't exceed 4-6 weeks.
Anadrol Doses — How To Use Anadrol 50 Safely And Effectively

You've likely been exploring Anadrol 50 in the fitness center or on the net and might have heard different perspectives concerning the proper dose. Knowing the proper information concerning the steroid would be the commencement of your trip to getting the muscles that you desire.
When using any anabolic steroid, then it is not sufficient enough to take it. You have to understand the dose required to satisfy your goals while preserving safety. This may be confusing for a few since the world wide web and gym gossip can overwhelm them with numerous different and contradicting points of view.
But when looking at Anadrol dosage, most find this to be a more straightforward steroid to onderstand. The steroid is virtually always seen in 50mg pills, and consequently, most Anadrol doses will probably just be 50mg daily. Nonetheless, this is not necessarily the ideal dose; in some instances, less is required. Let us take a peek at Anadrol dosage and find the perfect one for you.
Base Anadrol Doses:
For many guys, Anadrol doses at 50mg daily will probably be ok. This is a really common dose for beginners in addition to veteran anabolic steroid users. This type of dose will create powerful gains in strength and mass in a quick and short time period. It is not unusual for 20lbs to be obtained in 3-4 months; the truth is, 30lbs is possible with these Anadrol dosages. Because of the majority of tabs being 50mg, this makes it a really handy dosing process.
Lower Anadrol Doses:
While 50mg per day is trivial, Anadrol doses of 25mg daily may frequently be sufficient. 25mg Anadrol dosage will probably only be half a tab every day. 25mg daily is a far safer dose for a first-time user, and it'll also be a lot more side effect freiendly. Bear in mind, Anadrol is not a side effect friendly steroid. The Oxymetholone hormone is highly estrogenic, can considerably boost hypertension and cholesterol and can be very hepatotoxic.
Lower Anadrol dosage may cause such problems but a lot simpler to control. Though you might not profit 20-30lbs with such usage, you should continue to have the ability to produce substantial gains as long as your diet and training protocols are appropriate.
Lower Anadrol doses may also be quite advantageous to cutting cycles, especially competitive bodybuilding competition cycles. A minimal dose of Anadrol at the end of a diet plan can assist the person fill out well. Some have a tough time controlling water having this sort of Oxymetholone usage, however 25mg Anadrol doses will allow it to be much more palatable compared to 50mg.
Top Anadrol Dosage:
An Anadrol dosage of 25-50mg daily is the Oxymetholone most guys could possibly require. If more is wanted more could be contemplated. But, remember that the higher the dose the greater the danger. Anadrol dosages of 75-100mg daily may be used by a few guys, but no person has some reason to transcend the 100mg mark.
Doses over 100mg daily will all but guarantee side effects. Information has also shown that doses over 100mg don't normally generate results greater than 100mg. This steroid seems to possess a sharp drop off stage concerning dosing amount to return. Many also frequently report Anadrol doses over 100mg daily to significantly lower their appetite, which may make expansion extremely hard.
Irrespective of your own Anadrol doses, in which they could fall, no person should utilize this steroid for over eight weeks. In reality, the majority of men shouldn't extend use beyond six months if they will safeguard their health. Usage beyond six weeks also seems to give little advantage concerning growth, meaning there is really no use in extending usage.
Many men will get the majority of the results happen over the initial four weeks of usage irrespective of the Anadrol doses. This creates 4-6 weeks that the ideal time period for the majority of men. Such a time period of usage is going to be the most powerful and will generally create all of the desirable and accessible outcomes of the steroid.

The significant difference in choosing Anadrol 50 and Anadrol 25 lies at the outcomes. In the 25mg dose, you won't gain up to 20 or 30 pounds in a couple of weeks just like you would using a 50mg dose. But, you will still experience substantial mass gains, particularly if you're taking a suitable diet and participating in exercises.
You might also need to choose the 25mg dose if you're getting ready for a bodybuilding competition. At the dose, Anadrol effects is cutting on the cycle. One other advantage of taking 25mg of Anadrol is that you are able to control the quantity of water stored within your body readily than possible after choosing the 50mg dose.
Stacking Anadrol along with Different Steroids
Anadrol can be stacked with different anabolic steroids for much greater results. By way of instance, it may be stacked with testosterone pills, particularly in the kind of injections or oral substances such as Anavar pills. It's possible to pile Adrol along with other steroids depending upon your tastes and preferences.
The seriousness of the side effects of Anadrol could raise or decrease based upon the steroid or supplement which you stacked it with. For that reason, it's essential to discover how Adrol pills work together with different anabolics and the probable effects of stacking it using the steroids you might prefer.
Anadrol 50 For Sale – Increase in muscle mass
Anadrol for sale in 50mg dosage can be obtained as a prescription cure for treating nausea. In addition, it may be found on the black market (in internet drugstores & several sports gyms prohibited oral steroids are offered). This isn't a steroid medication.
Diet and Exercise are Vitally Important
In regards to receiving the greatest potential Anadrol results, exercise and diet might appear to be a no-brainer. Surprisingly, however, we often do the wrong kinds of exercise or consume a large number of calories daily with no accounting for macronutrients. Neither of those things will help you personally, so keep the following two tips in mind concerning exercise and diet.
Eat a High-Calorie, High-Protein Diet — Trainers frequently center on consuming as many calories as they could without putting much thought into macronutrients. Protein is essential for creating lean muscle, so if you are not consuming enough, you are most likely to acquire fat rather than muscle. If you are worried about energy, remember that many high-calorie and low-fat foods also contain fat. Your body will utilize this fat as an energy supply.
Prevent Cardio and Lift Weights — Another common mistake beginners make is exercising like mad, believing that the more they do, the better off they will be. To get a bulking cycle, this isn't the situation. You should avoid high-intensity workout so it's possible to place more of those calories that you have to work building lean muscle. Rather, concentrate on strength and strength training. This is what's going to create the ideal conditions for muscle development.
Typical Anadrol Results & Before and After Pictures

So you realize that by simply taking anadrol you are likely to obtain a large amount of muscle and strength; but how much are you going to gain?
From a 4 week anadrol cycle, you are likely considering 30lbs of weight reduction.
By an 8 week cycle, you are more inclined to include 45lbs.
Again, these are only rough estimates according to other people's adventures and yours may differ marginally from this.
Concerning strength, get ready to crush some crazy PR's. Anadrol is possibly the ideal steroid in the world when it comes to strength, therefore people will likely begin looking at you like you are Ronnie Coleman if they determine just how many plates you have just placed on the squat rack…
The Way to Maximize Anadrol Gains
As mentioned before, if you personally tolerate Anadrol nicely, you're able to increase the distance of your cycle around 8 weeks.
I would not run anadrol for no more than that, however, as further benefits will be minimal beyond this point along with the possibility of unwanted effects increase considerably.
Another way you can build more muscle while utilizing anadrol, will be to stack it with additional bulking steroids.
Here is some substances which works well with anadrol:
- Testosterone sustanon
- Dianabol
- Deca Durabolin
Testosterone works nicely with pretty much any steroid. With a-drol it will enable you to add much more mass, whilst maintaining water retention in bay (as evaluation is notorious for raising muscle hardness).
Dianabol and anadrol at precisely the exact same cycle will probably be absurd for muscle growth. You will also gain a few water retention, however, this is just temporary and will reduce post-cycle.
Deca durabolin is a really underrated steroid which can complement Anadrol's consequences by assisting you to add much more muscle. Deca and Anadrol taken collectively will make your muscles seem ridiculously complete — without inducing much water retention or bloating.
Trenbolone can be employed with Anadrol, which will yield extraordinary profits; but this should just be contemplated by quite experienced bodybuilders. Aka those have completed a great deal of cycles and understand how their body reacts to harsh chemicals. Accepting tren and anadrol for a newcomer thus is not suggested.
You are able to acquire legal choices to Anavar, Dianabol, trenbolone, clenbuterol, Testo-max and Deca Durabolin entirely in CrazyBulk's ultimate stack…

Travel wear doesn't have to consist of yoga pants and hoodies. I always see people at the airport dressed like they are going to the gym and wonder how much harder it would have been to just wear some easy comfortable layers.
When I travel, especially somewhere the temperature varies as much as it does in San Francisco, I like to bring and wear lots of layers that mix and match to fit the weather.
With this outfit I was ready to go out to dinner straight off the plane! It started with this comfortable maxi dress I found at H&M in Las Vegas for just $15! I added a loose-knit sweater for when it got cold on the plane or at night. Lastly, I added my dark jean jacket that was a complete life saver by the end of this chilly trip!
Dress: H&M
Sandals: Sam Edelman "Trina"
Watch: Charming Charlie
Necklace and belt: Forever 21
The start of the day at O'Hare Airport wearing all my layers at once.

Purse: Target

This morning was the 10K MJC Cancer Awareness Run/Ride . I got up after 6 whole hours of sleep, which was amazing and fabulous, considering I'm averaging 4 these days.
I got there and met our team, and Isolda, who is running the Nike Half with me. She asked me why I hadn't run? Was I sick? Was I okay? I told her the whole sordid story, and her response was, well…you should be able to leave all that anger out on the road today…I had some time with the team, and I rarely do that. I usually stay to myself.
Mile 1 was like running through water. It was hard. Then, the whole thing got very easy…for the most part.
Mile 2 I started to feel the rumblings of my stomach. I had wheat thins late last night and it was probably not a good idea. This was a fun mile, because all the fast runners were coming back, and they looked like butterflies, gliding through the run. This was a farm road, and on the side of the road, barns, fields…I started to look for a good place to stop. I knew I would not make this race unless I could relieve myself. At the mile 3 turn around, I decided to hit a corn field. Did you know you can't go INTO a corn field? Well, you can't. I was at 31:00 at mile 3, and felt confident.
I thought I would get a PR today, but I was 35 seconds slower. No matter.
Stopped in the corn field. Got back on the road, and thought I had better get a sip of water at Mile 4. This may have been a mistake. Mile 4 & 5, the last month of my life flooded my running, until I was yelling out loud. "That Mother Effer is NOT going to take me down." Yelled it over and over. Got running. Hoped there weren't any kids around.
Mile 6 was an effort. Don't Stop Believing came on my iPod. I listened to it twice.
I finished, but had a stitch in my side.
Kudos go to the organizers of this event. Amazing and great registration, good water stations, quiet but accurate Mile Markers. Pleasant and happy volunteers. My favorite part were the signs along the road…what a great idea.
I am having chemo, my husband is just bald.
It's the Journey, not the Destination.
There's never too many friends when you are battling cancer.
It made me so grateful to just keep running. I was slugging the air, crying again at Mile 5, and yelling. I was present though. I had a great time…and I left all that stuff on the road.
Happy Saturday.

Before I get into the list….
Happy 10th-post blogaversary! A 10th-post blogaversary is like a good slice of pizza: it makes you happy, it can be sweet, it awakens your senses, it can be a little bit cheesy, doughy, bold, saucy…wait, now I'm just talking about pizza… It is a very significant thing in my eyes (or mouth if we are still talking about pizza.)
And so in honor or my 10th-post blogaversary, I will share with you my favorite top 10 ways to stay fit during the winter…and disclaimer, they are my favorite because I wrote them.
Top 10 Ways to Stay Fit During the Winter
- Workout in the Morning
If you haven't noticed, the sun is setting at like 2:00 PM which means you'll feel like going to bed shortly after your lunch break. Wake up a little earlier and get your workout done in the morning: you'll most likely see it getting lighter outside as you go, instead of feeling like you are working out at 11 PM. This also leaves you room to go to bed right after you come home from work!
- Always Remember that you are Getting Ahead of the New Year's Resolution Crowd
We're less than a month out from New Years where everyone decides to kick it into gear, get fit, lose weight etc. Soon, you and everyone's mother will be at the gym, it'll be crowded and you'll be less motivated to go. Start now so you get in good habits, beat out the New Years crowd and have a better chance of lasting past January 4th.
- Map out Free Classes
I'm not sure where you live so this may not be that easy (especially for my one reader in Alaska,) but if you are near any city, I guarantee there are a million free fitness classes near you. Whether it be a weekly class (like Nike Training Club) or a free trial (like Core Yoga who gives 1 week of free classes to newbies) you can definitely take advantage of trying new workouts, spicing things up and meeting new people without burning your bank account. If you are in DC, I suggest checking out Active Life DC.
- Eat Clean
Don't get me wrong, I love a good cheat meal every once in awhile (just a minute ago, I had to wipe of some of McDonalds fry grease off my keyboard) but the winter months are truly a dangerous time to binge eat unhealthy foods. Seasonal depression along with bad foods will make you feel lethargic, tired and sad. Incorporate lots of fresh veggies and fruits into your diet, keep a stash of healthy snacks around and intake some good protein. Now I'll get back to those fries…
- Get some Good Winter Gear
Yes, it is cold during the winter (unless you are somewhere where it is warm all time, in which case I can't believe you made it to #5 on the "How to Keep fit during the winter" list). Having some quality clothing to get you through the wet, the wind and the cold will definitely make your winter workouts more enjoyable and who doesn't love a good fleece? Check out Patagonia who is having a 50% off past season items through December 10th or backcountry.com.
- Drink A Lot of Water
I have been drinking SO much water in the past few months and it has really made such a difference. Aside having to go potty every 20 minutes, my skin looks better, I've lost weight and I don't feel like crashing mid way through the day. But I know that since it has gotten colder, I've drank less water. Keep in mind that in the winter, your body is still very prone to dehydration even if you aren't yearning for a cold glass of water like in the summer- if you have dry skin, get nose bleeds or have coughing fits it may mean you need more water. It is, after all, essential! It also helps you regulate your consumption of food. The more hydrated you are, the better your body regulates feeling hungry.
- Take the Hard Way
I find that during the winter, I often lean toward the easiest way to do…anything. Instead of walking from the metro to home, I'll wait an extra 30 minutes for a bus that will drop me off… basically on my couch. I'll take the elevator when I could take the stairs. Make the extra effort to stay on top of moving as much as you can since you probably are moving less than you would on a gorgeous spring day. It can make the difference.
- Invest in a Fitness Tracker
I love fitness trackers- It is a way fun to compete against friends, to see how hard your body works during workouts and to see what kind of sleep you are getting. I especially love fitness trackers during the winter because it can remind you how much you aren't moving as well which can be really motivational. Put one a holiday gift list and you won't be sorry. I'm currently using the jawbone which is on sale now with Groupon!
- Make an "Excuse" jar/list
I am the queen of making up excuses for not working out. Fortunately, I'm good at talking myself out of them…thats right, I make excuses for my excuses. They can range from legitimate ones like "My achilles feels like its about to tear" to more pathetic ones like "well…I worked out 3 days ago…"
I keep a running list on my phone of excuses I come up with. When i have another, I go to the list and add it. You would be amazed at the number of times that "it's too cold, I might catch a cold!" The list gets long but it makes me realize exactly how silly they are. Soon, you'll find your list to stop growing and you'll just get out there and go.
- Remember How Good it Feels
Working out can really be satisfying, even if during the workouts where you feel like dying. Always remember key moments in workouts: times you reached a new PR, did one more burpee, felt strong, looked strong… they will always be the best motivation for you.
If you haven't gotten a chance yet to check out my #MoveForStJude movement, click here! The campaign will be going on through March 2016.
Happy Tri-ing ya'll!

I recently received an amazing PR package with a bunch of products I had actually been dying to try! I've heard such great things about Dermalogica so I was so excited when I finally got to try their stuff.
I started off with the precleanser and then the dermal day cleanser! They were so great smooth and light, yet they left you with such a clean feeling! Then, it was mask time. I'm sure you've all seen those viral videos of those PAINFUL charcoal masks! Plot tist: that didn't happen here, thank gaawwwd!
You don't need a lot of this product to start. You're going to see in my pictures, I think I put way too much on and that's why my face ending up being so red. I recently did this the other night with a much thinner layer and I had no redness at all! I repeat, don't use too much. Start off with a thin layer and if you think you need to apply more, then do so. Or maybe focus on your problem areas.
Anyways, I left it on for 8 minutes and then wiped it off!
Before taking it off, wet your hands and start to exfoliate the mask, so you get a final cleanse. If you can, just scrub your entire face to get it off. I have eyelash extensions, so I can't do that. 🙁 I took it off little by little with a towel.
Lastly, I moisturized!
Reminder: my face is red because I think I put way too much of the mask on! I did not feel irritated though and my skin looked great, redness aside. Anyways, I applied the moisturizer and was ready to do my makeup. I had a long day of shooting ahead, so I didn't have time to do the moisture masque, but the other day that I did it before bed, I finished with the moisture masque. This is honestly the most important step! Cleansing is great for your skin, but without a good moisturizer, your skin is left dull and dry!
I sincerely loved these Dermalogica products and I am excited to add them to my day to day routine! I received a bunch of other great stuff from them, but can't always blog about EVERYTHING. Make sure you're following along on instagram because I post a ton of reviews as well as show you how to use the products on my story.
P.S. Ulta is having an amazing promo with all Dermalogica products including a gift with purchase! If there's anytime to buy new stuff, it's now. 😉
Coming up next, I will be reviewing the Beachwaver s1 and Artis make-up brushes. Stay tuned!

Best Investments
The 20s are a vital time to start off constructing wealth, because the compounding energy of time is on your side. Mutual funds are still the best investments for the vast majority of individuals simply because they manage investment assets for the investor in all of the above categories and more. The best investments in stock funds for 2011 are stock index funds with the number 500 in their name, referring to the S&P 500 Stock Index. There are many investments that yield high, nonetheless treasury bonds are safer than any other investment. I am professional of 30 years, want some opinion about our investments and what can be carried out to get larger returns in 5 years time. In a column right here on Marketwatch, I wrote of how GBTC had improved more than 100% given that my last article detailing my 50% loss in my retirement investment.
In summary, a Roth IRA can supply a solution for folks who crave the prospective for higher returns but want the potential to withdraw their contributions if the actually necessary to. These ISAs give you an empty 'tax wrapper' which you can fill with investments of your deciding on. Even although some seem to make money in whatever they invest, other individuals look to drop whenever they invest in anything. 1 way to help scout out new investments is by means of the person's individual web site where reputation, encounter, and references should be simple to locate and refer back to as required. If the final section went more than your head, we have an alternative answer: robo-advisors, which do all the work of diversifying for you, managing your investments for an annual charge of about .25%. Best Investments is a Christian owned and operated company We will not be undersold.
But because of recaptured deferred taxes, seldom do investors recoup their initial investments in the length of time originally proposed, if ever. To assist ease the stress of managing investments in a volatile marketplace, you may possibly want to take into account an all-in-1 fund or professionally managed account for your longer-term targets such as retirement.
Making the best investments that will lead to your portfolio to grow really twofold. Invest in your debt, by decreasing it. You probably do not believe of this as an investment, but it is. Every single payment you make on a debt offers you a cash return on your funds equal to the debt's interest rate. It is advisable not to make long term investments in bond funds due to the fluctuating nature the price of return. This is a retirement account that makes it possible for you to invest independent of your employer.
Investing in funds carries a .35 per cent charge on investments up to £250,000 and .20 per cent above that and per cent above £1million. We could go on. But alternatively we'll just make a easy observation: Fantastic leaders invest a huge amount of their time in recruiting, mentoring, promoting and attempting to retain the best men and women. Ex- I have pick one particular share and i want to invest each and every month around 2000 INR straight in share marketplace or stock exchange not in equity market place is it wise selection to make great funds in long term. When investments have particular tax characteristics, these will rely on your private circumstances and tax guidelines may possibly adjust in the future.

"I am very concerned about some of the findings published by the CQC and have scheduled a meeting with Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) Chief Executive, Rod Barnes, to discuss some these issues.
However I am pleased that the CQC has recognised our service as being "caring" across the board. This is a deserved acknowledgement for the hard working and dedicated staff of YAS. These are some of the most committed public servants there are, and work under incredible pressure to save lives, day and night.
The government is imposing a 10% cut in the ambulance fleet and a 5% cut in staff by 2018. How can this be right at a time when locally and nationally the service is facing severe challenges in recruiting and training sufficient staff numbers to meet rising levels of demand? There is huge pressure on existing staff and response times and the government needs to act before this becomes a crisis."

"Support. Don't Punish." There's probably no greater or more appropriate mantra for harm reduction proponents across the globe to espouse as their own.
This video does a tremendous job of showing the human angle of harm reduction efforts and medication-assisted treatment. With all the issues we face and areas in which improvements are needed here in the United States, sometimes it is important to step back and recognize just how thankful we should be for what we do have. This video features a patient from an area of Eastern Europe where methadone therapy for opioid addiction is mostly unavailable. Political leaders of the world's nations too often forget the factual angle that is most important when they block access to harm reduction initiatives and/or addiction medicines: Exposure to diseases, attack on the street, overdose, and so forth are all reduced substantially for most patients on methadone. They have a better chance to stay alive. Critics of methadone, in their pursuit of the wickedness of being "on" something, some seem too often to forget this human angle. The death rate, arrest rate, illness rate of the opioid addicted patient drops substantially when they enroll in methadone treatment. Their legitimate employment rate, the taxes they pay, and their immune system functioning, all rise.
The video also features a patient from Vietnam who attests to the miracles of methadone maintenance treatment. The human angle of which I continue to speak is evident in this Vietnamese man's testimony. His life and his normalcy have been restored. He is once again a productive, contributing member of society.
And while we do largely have access to methadone maintenance treatment and other harm reduction initiatives and projects in the United States, there are still people suffering from the disease of opioid addiction right here in Tennessee who can not access treatment. Many Tennessee residents have no better access to this evidence-based and proven effective treatment than patients in countries that have largely banned methadone for maintenance treatment like Russia and Japan. We have more than 40 years of research and data proving the effectiveness of medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction yet the State of Tennessee Health Services and Development Agency just denied a Certificate of Need for a proposed medication-assisted opioid treatment program in Johnson City, Tennessee and the Tri Cities area. The chairman of the committee seems to think that people can still receive treatment "if they want it," acknowledging the 100+ miles round-trip trip to the nearest opioid treatment program, because "they can drive."
What about those patients who, due to a disability or other condition, are unable to drive? What about patients whose socio-economic situation is such that they do not have the resources for the gas such a drive, on a daily basis for the first several months of treatment, would require? Or those patients who do not have access to a reliable, dependable vehicle that could make such a trip on a daily basis? Even more of a moral outrage is the thought of opioid addicted pregnant women, knowing that methadone treatment is the standard of care for pregnant patients, having to make such a trip on a daily basis in the last months and weeks of gestation when many pregnant women should stay as close as possible to their healthcare provider(s) in the event of labor or emergency complications. The six people who voted "no" to this Certificate of Need seem to have forgotten, or at the very least ignored, the human angle, as they have shown that personal biases and politics trump the influence of science and medical facts in their decision making. The State of Tennessee Health Services & Development Agency has made it abundantly clear that they could care less about the opioid addiction and overdose epidemic and related deaths as they have effectively blocked the opening of a treatment center that would provider the most evidence-based and effective treatment and solution for this crisis that is currently available.
Why is the State of Tennessee "punishing" its residents in the upper eastern part of the state instead of doing all they can to "support" these people? I wish I had the answer.

BMA taking legal advice on Government changes to GP pension contributions
The BMA is seeking legal advice over the annualisation of pensions, with GP leaders claiming the process is 'unfair'.
Income annualisation calculates what GPs should be contributing to their pension based on an extrapolation of what they have earned for part of a year, rather than their actual annual earnings.
But GP leaders say this is unfair for certain GPs, who may not work all year, and have questioned whether the Government conducted an equality impact assessment on the process.
Dr Krishan Aggarwal, deputy chair of the BMA GP Committee's sessional subcommittee, said: 'For example, for a locum who goes on maternity, it becomes unfair. If a woman works for three months and then goes on maternity leave, then that three months of income gets increased.
'It also affects those locums who have recurring illnesses where they're having to take time off for periods of time.'
He added that this can needlessly bump up a GP to a higher pension contribution tier.
The process was first introduced under NHS Pension Scheme Regulations in April 2015 but the BMA said they only became aware of it in 2016, at which point GP leaders entered talks with the Government.
Dr Aggarwal said the BMA is currently 'seeking a legal opinion and depending on that legal opinion we'll make a decision on how we go forward'.
He added: 'We're raising our concerns because we're not happy about how this has been done and is being applied.'
This comes as the BMA and Department of Health and Social Care were disputing whether an equality assessment had taken place on the annualisation process.
BMA guidance says: 'The Equality Impact Assessment that was carried out was unsatisfactory because it failed, in our view, to consider at all the potentially discriminatory impact of annualising.'
Dr Aggarwal said: 'They've asked us to remove our guidance and we've said no, unless they can give us evidence that an equality and impact assessment has been done, with regards to annualisation.'
Readers' comments (4)
I think there a few critical questions each GP must ask themselves..
1. Do I want to work until I am 68?
2. Do I want only half my pension pot to be given to my spouse on my death - and zero passed on to my kids on point of death for both of us?
3. Do I trust the Government not to reduce my benefits/pension by the time i get to 68?
If you answer no to any of the above -- strongly consider leaving the pension. I did - 3yrs ago -- and not looked back. I intend to retire a full 15yrs ahead of the NHS retirement age.

Karen A. Clinton Jones, Ph.D., a 1984 graduate of Buffalo State, has been appointed chief diversity officer (CDO) for Buffalo State, president Aaron Podolefsky announced today. Jones will lead and coordinate the university's strategic approach to diversity in all aspects of campus life, focusing on education and employment equity, affirmative action, cultural understanding, cultural competency, and civil and human rights. She will report to Podolefsky.
For the past two years, Jones has served as executive director for equity and access at Virginia Tech, leading the development, implementation, and expansion of the university's equal opportunity/affirmative action programs and hiring initiatives to prevent unlawful discrimination and harassment. She also ensured compliance with federal, state, local, and university regulations regarding access and nondiscriminatory practices for people with disabilities, and assisted campus leaders in reducing conflict and maintaining a positive work climate by promoting fairness in the workplace.
"With Dr. Jones as our chief diversity officer, Buffalo State will remain a leader in promoting the respect for diversity and individual differences both in and outside of the classroom," Podolefsky said. "Dr. Jones takes to heart our institution's long-standing commitment to diversity and the importance of diversity as one of our core values. She is a diversity professional who works well across all groups and academic disciplines, and we are delighted to welcome her home to her alma mater."
Jones also served as director of corporate diversity at Excellus BlueCross BlueShield in Rochester, New York, from 2006 to 2009, where she directed the corporate-wide diversity and inclusion strategic plan and related initiatives. From 2004 to 2006, she managed a voluntary mentoring program to assist underrepresented students with college adjustment and academic success as director of the CONNECT Program at St. John Fisher College in Rochester.
She has also held positions as a cultural relations specialist at Global Crossing North America (2000–2003), director of leadership and community development at the College at Brockport (1995–2000), and coordinator of ADA compliance in the Office for Students with Disabilities, also at Brockport (1990–1995).
"This is a wonderful opportunity, and I am excited to join the Buffalo State community as the new chief diversity officer," Jones said. "To be selected to join the community, to build upon the many accomplishments already achieved, is both humbling and an honor I do not take lightly."
As a member of the Rochester community, Jones served on several not-for-profit boards and community-based committees, including the St. John Fisher College School of Education's Diversity Advisory Board, the Hickey Center for Interfaith Studies and Dialogue Advisory Board at Nazareth College, the Federal Bureau of Investigations Civil Rights Advisory Committee, the External Advisory Board for the Upward Bound Program at Monroe Community College, the Faith Community Alliance's Education Committee, the Rochester Step-Off Education Foundation, and the Rochester Mayor's Commission on Race and Ethnicity. She is also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.
Jones holds a Ph.D. in educational leadership and policy, with a concentration in higher education, from the University at Buffalo, an M.S.Ed. in counselor education from the College at Brockport, and a B.S. in criminal justice from Buffalo State.

His duties include designing new processes and software tools to increase efficiency and productivity in the Archive's book scanning operations, supporting these operations with tech support and troubleshooting, and wrangling red rows. Coelho, a self-taught programmer and former punk rock musician, currently enjoys comic books to a degree that is probably inappropriate for a man in his thirties.
