"What we promised," Self says, "was to put him in a position where he was as prepared as could be after one year."
Becoming a better player
Wiggins arrived last June for a summer session at the university, 65 km west of Kansas City. "Feels good to be out here in Kansas!" he tweeted.
For all his obvious ability, his weaknesses on the court were also evident. At practices, Self pushed the then-18-year-old to take charge. If Wiggins disappeared into a secondary role, Self would run the whole team, telling everyone: "I'm sick and tired of watching Andrew not be as good as he can be."
In his Middle American twang, the Oklahoma-born coach puts it this way: "Andrew's a pleaser. He wants to please his teammates, he wants to please his coaches, he wants to please his family. Maybe to a fault sometimes. What we try to do is put him in situations where he's challenged every day – and that fitting in isn't good enough. You have to separate. When he's passive, he becomes a thinker. And when you think, you can't play."
Off court, film and fitness were the primary focus.
Jeff Forbes, the Jayhawks video co-ordinator, gets the new recruits right away. He wants them to study and learn, as if they're in the NBA. While Wiggins has often been likened to LeBron James, Forbes had him parse film of Tracy McGrady, the now-retired NBA star who is the same height as Wiggins, was similarly talented, and played the same position, the wing – a blend of shooting guard and small forward.
Even practices were filmed and assessed. There were many adjustments: When guarding right-handed shooters, Wiggins was instructed to get his left hand up, his right arm free to make trouble. In team sessions, studying opponents, Forbes assembled 200 clips and banged them out in fractions of three or four seconds over 15 minutes, demanding the concentration of a game. Wiggins was fast to memorize all aspects.
"Andrew has learned how to be a professional," Forbes says. "Once he was here, and the car got driving, it just took off."
In the weight room, there was Andrea Hudy. She has been called Kansas's secret weapon and numerous NBA players credit her tutelage for making the leap to the pros. "She made me a lot stronger," Wiggins says. "She works miracles."
Some of the principal work was on what's called anterior chain strength – power through the knees, flexible calves and strong quads, the basis of lateral movement. It's the strength to stay with an opponent driving to the hoop, or to burst past a defender. One exercise was jumping off an object, down about 75 centimetres, and up immediately as high as the athlete could manage. "Ground reaction forces," Hudy says.
On her iPhone, she charted progress, the gauges of load, explode, drive, measured by the latest technology.
"In basketball, you never run in a straight line," Hudy says. "Andrew is an exceptional athlete. But he wasn't exceptionally versed in basketball movements. We emphasize basketball movements, to make him a better basketball player."
There were flashes of just that. Through December, January and into February, Wiggins would star in some games, only to have nights when observers would wonder what the fuss was all about.
By mid-February, the lessons learned during a rapid schooling in Kansas were apparent at a mid-afternoon practice. Now, not just the talent was on display but the work ethic, too.
Wiggins quietly chastised himself – "Damn" – when he missed an open three-point shot from the corner, hustling back on defence. "Get your hands up," one of the coaches reminded him. Later, from the top of the three-point arc, Wiggins drove to the hoop, wove through three defenders and spun the ball up and in.
On another play, he leaped to the rim from two metres away but couldn't get the dunk to go down; a moment later, on a second chance from well behind the three-point line, Wiggins shot with a defender in his face – swish.
Self, who has coached many fine players, sees the perfect NBA body in Wiggins, and unlimited potential.
"Andrew's a different dude," he says. "He's a guy that can do things you can't coach, and athletically, he can make plays you can't teach. You talk to every NBA person, they say, 'Wait till he's 22, wait till he's 21.' The kid just turned 19. His ceiling is so high. So high."Report Typo/Error

The owner/manager was very friendly, reminded me of my grandpa. Nothing fancy here and sites are close together but all of thr hook ups worked. Great for an overnight stop. - BrittanyFenn

Wanted a place to stay for the night. Fit the bill. No frills but clean and everything worked. Train noise occasionally and you are close enough to the Interstate to hear traffic if your windows are open.
Overall not a bad place to overnight! - Bernie Mesa

The park is old and it shows, but the power and cable were good. We had a good strong wifi connection and a pull through site. Sites are small and tight, but easy on and off from the expressway. Manager was friendly and helpful. Our site was long, gravel and as level as we needed. - weighit

This park has both pull through and back in sites; can accommodate big rigs as well; has tent camping. There are some full time residents, who probably work in the area. The bathrooms are coded and cleaned daily. They have both 30amp and 50amp with good voltage; water quality is good, with FHU. They also have Wifi and cable. Allow pets and have VERY small dog park (about useless), no playground or pool. Small meeting room by office with couch and TV. Laundry room with one washer and one dryer: all closed at 8 when office closes. The park is kind of trashy, I think because the owners do not live on site, nor is there a manager on site to oversee things. Nice and quiet but watch out for the rattlesnakes. - Kerch Family

Looking for park for electric to use ac. Full hookups here with pull through sites where slides can be used even though small sites with trees. Two of 3 rows have fresh gravel and picnic tables. 3rd row of permanent rigs are clean and neat. Did not feel road noise a problem. Starting to put in small store in office along with TV lounge. Nice place for over night. Would stop here again. - RVLuver

We knew this would be a very basic park, but just wanted a one-night stay near El Malpais NM - didn't care about amenities, cable, wifi, bathrooms, etc. BUT after we got settled in the spot that we were told to take when we made the reservation....discovered NO water coming from our spigot. Nobody in the office when we arrived at 4 pm - called the number and someone answered who was completely unhelpful. They had no idea why there was no water and had nobody who could come and diagnose the problem. Also dog poop everywhere. Only positive is easy on-off I-40, but that also means lots of road noise. - rvericksons

We stayed three nights to do some local hiking / visiting historic natural sites, etc. Small? 49 well spaced sites. Older yes. But kept up so well and so clean. Free breakfast was fine - basic, yes, but fine - - with clean table(s) area. Owners were wonderful and went more than the extra mile for us with some 5th wheel issues and other things. - AZSwede

This is a simple campground with hands down the best owners! Super friendly, cookies and dog treats upon arrival! Easy to find and easy to navigate with plenty of room to maneuver our 40' fifth wheel and dually. I wish we would have stayed for a few more days as this is a hidden gem. Long, level gravel pull thru sites. Everything worked well and we had no issues whatsoever other than our stay was too short! They also have a meal service providing a fantastic turkey dinner delivered right to our camper! We will most certainly be back!! - jnlo

Small CG conveniently located next to the interstate. Friendly staff. Continental breakfast included in the rate, but nothing special; I passed. Restrooms are getting old and funky. Dog friendly with lots of room to walk a leashed dog, as well as a small fenced area to let Fido run. OK for one night, but a little pricey despite the free cookie. - Rusty Tailpipe

A really nice FREE campground. Rated it excellent because it's free and the nice amenities for a government campground. Facilities seem very new - picnic shelters, fire pits, grills. There are restrooms and trash receptacles. Expansive views. Very quiet. Verizon LTE (mostly - goes in and out). Would have no problem getting TV sat reception (we didn't use our tailgater but clear view of sky). Great for solar panels too.
Sites vary in size - some pull-throughs. Most sites not very level.
Road in is a little rough. There is one dip near start of road that you could get hung up on if pulling travel trailer. we pull a utility trailer behind truck camper - we raised truck up on airbags and had 1' clearance thru the dip. There was one fifth wheel in campground who obviously made it in fine. Highly recommended for a night or two to visit El Malpais. - chinookgeo

Small, first come first serve Bureau of Land Management (BLM) CG. Convenient to explore this fascinating region of NM. Recently renovated with shade structures and grills. Some nice views. Vault toilets only. No water or dump, if I recall. Quiet. Clean. Would not bring a 40 ft A in here, can be tight. - rvrover63

A free BLM campground about 10.8 miles S from I-40 exit# 89. Once you pass the well marked "Sandstone Bluffs Overlook" look for the yellow cattle guard on the left and turn in there. There is a small sign marking the CG. Nice new concrete vault toilets and newly upgraded picnic tables with very nice shade covers. Some sites have good view to the west over the lava beds. There is a steep dip about 50 yards from the entrance which long rigs (40') or rigs with long overhangs (12' or more) behind the rear wheels may scrape entering & leaving. No water, elect or sewer. Good quiet place to stop overnight or camp while exploring "El Malpais Nat. Conservation Area". - A-S_Travels

This was a one night stop off for us. The campground was very clean and the people were very friendly. It was easy to access from the interstate and it had food and fuel very close to the Park. The only downside is there were lots of trains throughout the night passing through 1/2 mile away. We would stay here again. - Rancherman

Nice park. Level gravel sites easy Big rig access. Slight drawback is closeness of railroad. Tracks very near, trains run all night. They do not blow their horns so it is only a minor inconvenience, did not interfere with my sleeping or watching TV. Easy access from I-40. - Bill1114

A great overnight stop. The clubhouse and facilities look like brand new and are extremely neat and spotlessly clean. Contrary to other postings the facility now seems to have an attendant - at least during the day. Enjoy the restaurant and facilities at the hotel/casino if you wish; it's an easy walk or they will send a van to pick you up. Sit outside and enjoy the mountain views to the north. Oddly, there are not picnic tables at the sites. A great value. - Rusty Tailpipe

Great two day stop just off I-40 on our way back east. The sites were level and the electricity was stable. Wifi also was pretty good for an RV park. It was off season so the water was not available at the site but was at the office. Since we were only there 2 nights we didn't need it. Also as mentioned before you registered at the hotel office. There was no park attendant. No big deal, you just phoned and they picked you up. Great buffet meals at the casino for a reasonable price. We had the prime rib buffet on a Monday. It was great. We would use this as an overnight (or 2 night) rest stop again. - Shacky

We stopped for the night passing through. No staff around, host sign but no host--they were in another area. Sites are gravelly, and not for tents. Some sites even a tent wouldn't fit. Some blowing trash, and we finally chose a developed site (picnic table & fire ring). Pit toilet was disgusting. Beyond dirty. Water was in a different area of the park. Dog poop was all over a LOT of the sites. We chose not to go swimming, as the water had a bad odor to it and was murky. The odor was worse. Dogs were running loose in the beach/swim area if it was even that. No cell phone service for AT&T. Not sure about Verizon but was told no one's service works there. Park looked run down to me and not taken care of. The things they have going for them are the views of the dam & lake, and fishing. That's it. We won't go back. I have yet to understand why people won't clean up after their pets. - happy2013camper

We drove here expecting to stay, but then after driving around the only loop with electric, we decided it was too tight. Also, to fill up with water in a Rig our size was going to be tricky. We were traveling in a 30 ft 5th wheel. The drive in was beautiful but very steep in places. The campsites were not well-groomed. This campground would be much better suited for smaller campers. - Lula1943

A good campground for one or more nights. Campground has full hook-up sites that are either pull-thru or back-in. Sites fairly level & are gravel. Water pressure is good. Sites are satellite friendly. WiFi spotty, as I think it comes from the Casino. Speaking of the Casino, it is within walking distance. Campground offers a concrete walking path with gate to get to the casino. The area is beautiful & worth the drive down to the Acoma Pueblo. Would definitely stay here again if in the area. - Tinisu

This is basically a gravel parking lot with FHU. Has about 5 pull thru and maybe 12 back-in sites. No cable but we picked up several channels with our antenna. Sites are close together but room for your slides, not quite level and fairly long. Small dog park that is also all rocks. This is a great place for overnight, especially for $11.36 ! We'll stay here again if in the area. - travelswithpuppies
Oct 2016 - $11.00
After a long day on the road, this was a nice find. It cost only $11 + change for one night. We had a level pull-thru on dirt and gravel with good hook-ups. As others have said the TV and wi-fi are fine. Yes, the sites are close and there are only 5 pull-thrus. The employees are very friendly. We walked down the bike trail towards the school and had wonderful views all the way. Then we treated ourselves to a DQ across the street. Store, gas, car and truck products sold here. We would definitely stay here again as we pass through. - swike

How to autopopulate a formAsked by luyi zhang on April 19, 2016 at 09:24 AM
I was wondering if there's a way to use the information from a file upload to auto populate the fields on the form? or to populate a spreadsheet widget.
There are currently two ways to populate a form:
a) If you would like the fields to have a default value, you may use our Propopulate app. You may be able to set default values for each or any field you like. This values will always be displayed when users open the form
b) The other option is to use the URL to populate fields (Prepopulating fields to your JotForm via URL parameters). If you have an excel with the values, you can just create the URL using a formula
Once you have the URL, you can open the form with it
Please let us know if this helps

DocuSign Widget Not Showing On Form.Asked by bhds on November 21, 2014 at 09:41 AM
Upon checking your form, I was able to see that the docusign widget was not being displayed on your form. So, I went ahead and cleared your forms cache and that fixed the issue on my side.
Could you please check and let us know if the form works on your side too?
Best Regards.
This problem is still occurring, but now on a different form:
I have cleared the forms cache, but the problem is still happening, i.e. the DocuSign widget is not displaying. What do you suggest next?
JotForm Support
Have you tried re-adding the widget DocuSign again?
Please try re-adding it again on that form, that should fix the problem.
Also, I would like to suggest these following widgets regarding e-signatures:
2. E-Signature
3. SignPlus
4. Initials
I hope this helps. Let us know if the problem still persist.
Thank you.
I am reluctant to add the DocuSign widget again as removing the current instance of the widget will result in the loss of data associated with that widget, i.e. signatures already completed successfully.
We prefer to use DocuSign as it is legally recognised in Canada (where we are based) as an electronic signature.
Please advise how to get the current instance of the DocuSign widget on our form working.
Thank you.
Is your form embedded in a website?
If so, could you please share the URL of your website so we can take a look at it?
I was able to successfully load the DocuSign widget using your form's direct URL in 3 different browsers:
Internet Explorer
If your form is embedded in a website there could be a JavaScript conflict that may be causing the widget not to show up. In this case we recommend using the iframe code to embed the form.
Please let us know if this helps.
Best Regards.
The form is not embedded in a website. We have, however, set up a 'webhop' with our DNS service with a more memorable URL for the form in question:
This redirects to the form with which we are having this issue, but, as I said, the form itself is not embedded in a frame or in any other way on a website.
I am reluctant to add the DocuSign widget again as removing the current instance of the widget will result in the loss of data associated with that widget, i.e. signatures already completed successfully.
This should not be the case. If you remove the old one, and add a new one with the same label. This would again show the data. If in some off chance it does not work you can always restore it back as it was before of removal of the DocuSign widget: How to View Form Revision History
I was also able to load the widget properly on my jotform, so there is one more thing that I would suggest and that is clearing your browser cache.
Do let us know how it goes.
Best Regards,
JotForm Support

The DocuSign widget has been fixed - http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/docusign
We've also made quite a few updates that make it easier to use.
Please give it a try, and let us know.

Happiness is one of the best way to keep yourself fit. Even so many research have proved this. Psychologist advocates for this too. When we are in happy mood, the activity of some special kind of hormone in our body increases which make our mood happy and save our mood from many negative thoughts too.
It means that each of us want to be happy and the factor which can make anyone happy is present in one's own body. But we are not happy always, why? What is the problem?There must be some reason. Yes, there is some reason behind it. The reasons are like not to take sufficient sleep, irregular lifestyle, recklessness in food habits and not to workout etc. badly affects this hormone. And because of this we encounter problems like, tiredness, irritation, tension, insomnia, bad mood, not to feel hungry, anger without any cause etc. for the whole day. To keep our sleep regular, maintain our energy level, to keep our mood in good condition and to make nutrition available to the mind, this hormone plays an important role. And for this, it is very important to have full balance of this hormone with the other chemicals of our body.
So what we can do to make this hormone active. We can do at least three things. Firstly, we should take sunlight because sunlight activates this hormone and in the absence of sunlight its level decreases. Secondly, we should take balance diet because in the absence of balance diet this hormone gets affected specially when people take high protein and low carbohydrates diet in the greed of loosing weight or dieting. Thirdly, we should avoid taking extra caffeinated drinks like tea, coffee or cold-drinks and alcohol because these things adversely affects this hormone. Therefore, take care of this hormone and be happy to remain always fit.

We stayed there April 2012 during our trip to Yosemite. The hotel itself it's like any other Fairfield Inn - simple, clean and comfortable. However they have some really amazing staffs.
Pam at breakfast was amazing - she took care of everyone and kept the breakfast area clean even though it was full of guests.
The breakfast was good too - there were actually hot items like bacon! It's not a standard for Fairfield Inn so I was impressed by it.
Nick, the maintenance staff was so friendly and he helped us to find out if there was chain control on the way to Yosemite. I didn't expect such a nice service.
I would definitely go there again. The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 is because we met some strange staffs at the front desk, and that as Marriott Rewards Gold members our status weren't recognised.

The New Zealand Herald is reporting that 2 exotic species of mosquito were discovered Tuesday on a ship at port in Auckland. Larvae and pupae were found in tires being used to secure a piece of equipment (talk about a thorough check!). The ship, which last docked in American Samoa, was treated with a control agent in the area where the mosquitos were found. The exact species of mosquito have yet to be determined.

Media release
Lombard Odier builds UK presence with six new hires
Lombard Odier Private Bank has strengthened its London office with six appointments as it embarks on an investment programme to build its presence in the UK.
Spearheaded by Chief Executive Officer, Duncan MacIntyre, who joined the organisation from Coutts in January, the expanded team includes a new Chief Operating Officer, three Private Bankers, a new Wealth Planner and a Legal Counsel. This is a demonstrable commitment to the UK, and reflects the focus the seven generation private bank has on the High Net Worth community based in the UK.
Karl Von Bezing has joined Lombard Odier as Chief Operating Officer and will work closely with Mr MacIntyre, to support Lombard Odier's ambitions to grow its presence in the UK. Karl joins from Ernst & Young LLP, where he worked within the Wealth and Asset Management practice for five years.
The three Private Bankers have been appointed to service Middle Eastern, Turkish and French clients. Karen Boecker joins as a Senior Private Banker for the Middle East, with nearly 20 years' experience working with Middle Eastern clients. She was previously Head of the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Mediterranean desk, and Supervisor of the International Team at Deutsche Bank Wealth Management.
Duygu Gözeler Porchet joins Lombard Odier as a Private Banker for the Turkish market, with extensive experience of advising Turkish High Net Worth clients. She joins from Deutsche Bank where she was Vice President, Asset and Wealth Management (Middle East & Africa).
Aurélie Jaclot joins as Private Banker for the French market. She was previously a Senior Private Banker at Pictet & Cie SA for eight years, based in Paris.
Géraldine Appert joins Lombard Odier as a Wealth Planner with 20 years' experience, including 10 years as an adviser to international Ultra High Net Worth individuals on cross border wealth planning. She joins from SG Hambros where she was Head of the International Wealth Planning team.
Louise Dobbyn joins as Legal Counsel. Louise was previously an Associate at Ashurst LLP.
Duncan MacIntyre, Chief Executive Officer, UK at Lombard Odier comments: "We have set ambitious targets to grow Lombard Odier and part of that growth comes from further developing our London office for a wider range of private clients. When I joined Lombard Odier I was struck by the opportunity to deliver a new, more challenging form of private banking that encapsulates the philosophy by which this seven generation family firm has supported countless families through more than 40 financial crises. We need a strong team to help me on that journey and we will be making more senior private banking and investment management hires in the months ahead. Each member of the team brings different strengths and experiences but each has been hired for embodying the same fundamental spirit and belief that working in partnership with our clients, we can help support them in meeting their ambitions – for their family, their wealth, and their future."

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
If you weren't at UCLA this weekend for the Ancestral Health Symposium, you really missed out on the brainiest, brawniest, most physically and mentally impressive gathering I've been witness to. My hat's off to the organizers (and my friends), Aaron Blaisdell and Brent Pottenger, and all the presenters and volunteers who made it happen. It went more smoothly than I've ever seen a conference of this magnitude go – and this was the inaugural one! I'm looking forward to the future and I've got a good feeling that this weekend will prove to be a powerful milestone in the story of the movement. All the presentations were filmed. I'll alert you when they become available.
Let's get to the questions. I field a Marcona almond query, discuss the unpalatability of raw olives, explain my stance on grass-fed whey protein, and lambast Carbquik.
Hi Mark,
I hear a lot about how almonds are good for you, but I could never get myself to enjoy the taste and have typically avoided them. However, recently I've discovered marcona almonds, which appear to be a related but different nut, and boast a delicious, addictive taste and lighter texture. Are marcona almonds just as beneficial as regular almonds?
Yes, Marcona almonds are just as beneficial. Every online resource I could dig up relayed nearly identical nutrition profiles for Marcona and regular almonds, so I'm unaware of a huge difference beyond the taste: Marcona almonds tend to be sweeter and slightly softer. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if there were slight variations (as is always possible when you're dealing with whole foods that grow in soil or eat the things that grow in soil). Do be careful with some Marcona almonds, as they are traditionally fried in oil before serving. If your almonds are fried, check the packaging to ensure some unhealthy seed oil wasn't used.
Quick sidenote: as I understand it, Marcona almonds are kinda like champagne or bourbon in that they are only Marcona almonds if they are grown in Spanish soil. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Dear Mark,
I have an olive question. It's my understanding that fresh off the branch olives taste like gasoline, and that only after brining do they become delicious. I know they're full of great stuff, but would Grok have eaten them if they taste so awful fresh? Seems like a loud and clear "stay away" message from the plant.
Any idea what makes them taste foul, and why brining fixes it? It seems an awful lot like sprouting/soaking/fermenting to neutralize phytic acid in grains and makes me wonder if I should be eating them, despite their long list of good qualities.
Raw olives are packed with several unpalatable phenolic compounds, the most bitter of which is oleuropein. But while you probably wouldn't pluck a raw olive from a branch, eat it, and enjoy it, it wouldn't hurt you and it might even improve the stability of your serum lipoproteins (if you could choke a few down). Oleuropein, you see, is also a potent antioxidant with several pharmacological effects. You might recall an older post in which I mentioned that dietary extra virgin olive oil protected LDL cholesterol from oxidizing in the serum of older men. Well, it's very possible that oleuropein is the primary compound responsible for the LDL protection, as a couple in vitro studies show.
Unpalatability in the raw state doesn't necessarily indicate an unhealthy or unsuitable food. It's a good tool, a good lens through which to view food, but it's not always accurate and it can't solely be relied upon. If Grok encountered raw, uncured olives in the wild, he may have avoided them, sure, but so what? They're delicious and good for you, and this is borne out by clinical trials and longstanding tradition. The olive is just one of those seemingly unpalatable foods that takes a little extra preparation to make edible. Once it is edible, though, it's definitely worth eating. And you don't have to eat bitter olives to get the good stuff; extra virgin olive oil retains much of the raw olive's antioxidant activity (hence the peppery bite after a swig of the good stuff).
Dear Mark,
I noticed that the whey protein in Primal Fuel isn't grass-fed whey protein. Why? Isn't grass-fed better?
Grass-fed animal fat is better. Grass-fed meat is better. Grass-fed dairy is definitely better. But grass-fed whey isolate? I find it unnecessary. Why? Well, let's look at the commonly cited reasons for preferring grass-fed animal products to grain-fed animal products.
-Grass-fed has better fatty acids. More omega-3, more CLA. Whey isolate contains no fat.
-Grass-fed has a better micronutrient profile. More minerals, more vitamins. Whey isolate contains neither minerals nor vitamins.
-Grass-fed has a better taste. Some say it's "gamey," I say it actually tastes like an animal. Whey isolate has no flavor, so "better" doesn't enter the equation.
Don't get me wrong – you can't understand a whole food by reducing it down to its constituent macronutrients, micronutrients, and biologically active non-nutrients. Nuts are not just globules of linoleic acid, fruits aren't bags of sugar. You have to consider the whole picture. But when trying to assess the suitability of a single, isolated constituent part of a whole food, you must dismiss the rest and narrow your focus.
Hi Mark,
My wife often cooks primal-ish meals from Linda's Menus & Recipes and Linda often suggests using Carbquik as a white flour substitute to reduce the carb count and make our bread type dishes taste more "bread like". Can you give us a review of this item? No matter how many people tell me that flax seed and almond meal breads, biscuits, pizza crusts, etc… TASTE GREAT I must respectfully say, bulls*#t!
Thank you sir! Keep up the good fight.
In short, no. To both understand why avoiding white flour is paramount and prove that Carbquik is not a healthy substitute, we must look to the ingredients. Carbquik contains "enzyme enriched wheat, vital wheat gluten, wheat fiber, high-protein patent wheat flour, vegetable fiber, canola oil, salt, dextrose, emulsifiers, enzymes, ascorbic acid, sucralose, calcium propionate." I don't know about you, but I see several red flags: added gluten, canola oil, sucralose (Splenda, which many people have trouble with), and, I dunno, the fact that it's wheat flour. Remember that the primary reason to avoid wheat is the gluten protein (which Carbquik certainly contains) and the wheat lectins (like wheat germ agglutinin, which Carbquik might contain). The carb content is secondary, at least for folks who don't have trouble with carbohydrates.
Sorry, man. It's just not worth it. You may have to suck it up and go without bread.
Well, I'm gonna try to rest. It was a long, wild weekend, so I'll let you folks hash it out in the comment section. Thanks for reading, and send along any more questions you might have!

68 Comments on "Dear Mark: Marcona Almonds, Olives, Grass-Fed Whey, and Carbquik"
I've been waiting for an answer on the grass-fed whey thing, thanks for confirming what I believed!
Mark – Thanks in advance for letting us know when those videos from the conference become available. I looked at the schedule and it looked great, but I'm on the east coast and could not actually attend.
thanks for the information. I have found that using your resources will keep me reading for years to come.
That Greek Meetza in the related posts section above is delicious! We make it regularly.
"…and, I dunno, the fact that it's wheat flour." Ha! *facepalm* I love it when you're sarcastic, Mark.
I know grass-fed doesn't necessarily mean organic, but what about higher concentrations of hormones or pesticides? The grass-fed whey I use claims that other "less pure" whey can concentrate these harmful elements. Is that BS?
I've always thought that the "toxins" are stored in the fat. Whey is pure protein. I am not sure about pesticides and hormones but I am guessing none of that shows up in the protein.
It's why I am fine eating non pastured chicken breasts. Its a hunk of protein and I am on a tight budget!
chucken breast has an abundance of omega 6, which you dis in later post???
Here's some common issues with most protein powders out there:
whey protein authenticity, protein potency, melamine, solvent residue, heavy metals, herbicide & pesticide residue, stability, bacteria, yeast and mold counts.
I get all the meat from an amish farmer in PA, is not organic by law or certification, but sure is free of hormones and pesticides. However I dont use whey it gets me really bloated and i stay away from it.
I'm still a macadamia girl – if I'm going to eat a few nuts, it's going to be one with the best ratio of Omega 6 and 3.
Be careful. Someone might come back and say that walnuts have the best ratio because, well, they do. However, 1 ounce of walnuts has 10 grams of omega 6 fatty acids!!
Macas are the best because they only have .36 grams of omega 6 per a one ounce serving. And, they are stuffed full of monounsaturated fat.
We all love our olive oil but have you ever tried macadamia oil? The taste kills olive oil and it has a healthier fat profile!
Sorry, "better" ratio.
I have been using Macadamia oil for some stuff like eggs for the last few months. It does taste a lot better than olive oil.
I think the authors get it wrong with regards to omega-3 requirements. They want to claim that ALA is all you need because you can make your own DHA and EPA. Yes, we do a lousy job of it! Folks deprived in DHA and EPA actually see an increase in this conversion. Really suggests to me that the ALA to DHA/EPA conversion is a safeguard to prevent dietary deficiency problems.
Right on! Rah! Rah! read Dr. Johanna Budwig. People of zee wurld…relax!
The O-6/3 ratio in macadamia nuts is upside down & does not provide enough organic CIS omega 6 for synthesis of the complete suite of eicosanoids for optimum health. For more do a Google search for the article "Scientific calculation of The Optimum PEO Ratio" by Brian Peskin.
I love marcona almonds, I find that their lighter texture reminds me of macadamia nuts far more than regular almonds. I never thought to look up the differences in their biology, though. This has been educational!
The answer on grass-fed Whey protein left something to be desired. How can cheap industrial whey be just as good as high-end, unpasteurized, cold processed whey?
Personally I stay away from isolates because you take so much of the good stuff out. Besides, most of the regular whey protein I see people using is full of aspartame, weird oils and other unhealthy fillers and additives. Many of them don't even mix well and tastes bad. Who needs that? Stay away, you're better off sticking to real food if you can't get some good whey.
whey concentrate is superior to isolate because it has all the alkalizing minerals in it. isolated whey has lost all its minerals and therefore will be acidifying.
whey minerals are very beneficial. search it up
And this post simply confirms my previous thoughts. Walking away with a smile!
Looking forward to seeing some of those videos, it sounds like it was an inspiring weekend.
Damian, have you ever tried coconut flour? This site has excellent coconut flour pancake and pizza crust recipes. Good luck!
Great post, Mark. I've never heard of marcona almonds-I'm intrigued!
I concur on the coconut flour. I just made a batch of brownies with coconut flour and they were delicious. I am going to try a few more recipes using coconut flour and see how they come but from my immediate impression it should be tasty.
I believe that Grass Fed protein is better in ONE way, the toxins that often accumulate in grain fed cows will definitely be present and highly concentrated in whey protein isolate (toxic metals for one)
Grass fed whey leaves the toxins out of the equation.
There was also a study done (can't remember the source) that found toxic metals in many of the mainstream powders and drinks. For example, Muscle Milk was found to have significant amounts of mercury. Does this have anything to do with grain fed versus grass fed? not sure but food for thought….
Here's one from Consumer Reports: consumerreports.org/cro/magazine-archive/2010/july/food/protein-drinks/overview/index.htm
Also Dr. Mercola has a post related to toxins in protein drinks. Just wearch for "protein drinks" in the search box on his site and you'll get a bunch of related links. That's where I found the Consumer Reports study.
oops: wearch = search
You forgot to mention that Carbquik tastes disgusting and will render any meal it is included in unpalatable. (Former LC dieter, I know of what I speak.)
Always great info. Personally I like the almond meal and flax meal recipes.
Flax has very unstable fatty acids which are extremely prone to becoming rancid. (Remember why flax oil should be kept in the fridge and never heated?) Because of this, flax and other forms of flaxseed should never be cooked with.
Agreed! And I've also become a big coconut flour fan as well as the almond flour and flax meal.
i dont see why mark would use crappy ingredients in his own protein powder. i mean the guy uses it too. makes no sense. besides that, the PB isn't about uber-strict definitions. ok, so if all of a sudden the government outlaws grass fed, pastured, everything are you supposed to just give up meat and become a vegan? i think not. stressing over every little aspect of what you consume totally counteracts all the grass fed benefits. like chronic cardio of the mind.
Sooooooo true Daniel-son….
I agree that grass-fed is more of a concern with beef and tallow than with whey isolate, but is it possible that feeding cows grain would lead to a different, perhaps less optimal, amino acid profile than if the cows ate their natural diet?
Sounds like a good point!
You can feed a cow only urea and cellulose and they survive just fine. Because they really just digest microbes in their gut. The amino acid profile shouldn't change.
Wow, after reading the ingredients on Carbquik, I'd rather just eat white flour. If I'm eating wheat to begin with, I may as well at least skip the canola oil, sucralose, dextrose and added gluten.
I agree. At least whole whear flour only has 3 ingredients. Carbquik sounds too much like Bisquik.
That makes sense as far the grass-fed whey concentrate goes.I was wondering what people know about the difference between cold processed and heat processed whey?
Eating this way has freed me from a constant state of hunger never quite sated only delayed hunger.
If I really want bread I just eat some bread and move on I don't try to make primal/paleo bread , but it rarely happens and only while eating socially, and even then it's more curiosity than craving.
Hmmm… I'm thinking of all those ancient gnarled olive trees growing along sea cliffs nearly everywhere in the Mediterranean. I bet the first time Grok found a floating branch or tree full of ripe and nicely brined fruit he was hooked. And it probably didn't take her long to figure out hoe to reproduce the process.
Always on the look-out for low carb stuff, I checked out your recommended baking mix and found that it contains adding a recommended 75 – 80% wheat gluten. How is that different from Carbquik? (which I choose not to use either).
Did I link to the wrong recipe?
Jen's baking mix recipe is gluten-free, as are many of her recipes. Here's a link to the recipe & instructions: http://low-carb-news.blogspot.com/2011/04/im-very-excited-to-unveil-my-splendid.html
Why not just throw the bread machine behind a Salvation Army and tell the family bread sucks? I only missed bread for about a month after I found the primal/paleo lifestyle and since have never looked back. I'll eat it here and there when it's "whats on the table" at family functions and dinner at the girlfriend's parents place but beyond that don't care for it at all… what's the necessity of eating bread?
I must find these Marcona almonds.
Several of teh slideshows from the Ancestral Health Symposium, including Mark Sisson's are already online at http://www.slideshare.net/ancestralhealth.
I LURVE Marcona almonds. I hate to say this…but I especially love them fried in oil and rarely does it stipulate what oil is used on the label.
There are Marconas grown in the US, and they're called something else that starts with an M, but I can't remember it. So yes, Marcona is a region-specific name.
Does anyone know if coconut flour is high in phytic acid?
whoa! i believe you have open a bad can of worms.
On olives: Years ago I spent some time in the Greek Islands and one of my delightful memories was eating black olives that had fallen to the ground, "ripened" in the sun. They were soft and delicious. I remember being so surprised that they were edible in their unprocessed state.
Thanks Mark on the Marcona almond confirmation. They seemed too good to be true, but now I can snack on them without reservation.
Super informative! Thanks for a great post, Mark.
-Amy, Fuse Pilates
I love Olives….love love love love love them!! 🙂
Also, always new that Carbquik was not good stuff! I much prefer to substitute wheat flour with coconut flour and almond flour, still makes for tasty baked goods!!
Loved your presentation on Play at the AHS. It goes along so well with Erwan's MovNat, and came at a perfect time for me. I just turned 40 and am in a phase where having fun with my workouts is the most important thing! Thanks for everything.
Can someone tell me if Agave nector can be used? I want to make this dressing and it calls for "splenda" and I don't use those poisons!
I just care about my abs and keeping my body fat low. I think the lack of carbs in carb quick should fit my diet. Am I right?

What do you normally keep your air on?
In the winter I keep ours around 70 for heat and in the summer I keep it closer to 80. I know people who don't even bother with air conditioning in the summer though, I couldn't survive like that without being grouchy.
How about you all?
I think we keep ours around 68-70 in the winter and 70-72 in the summer. Since my husband works from home, we have more reason to keep the temperature constant, and he prefers things rather cool.

It has become very distressing that after 7 days the hospital is still closed to visitors
After being in hospital for over a week, we still cannot visit my 88 year old mother.
Staff are most kind and have allowed us in to bring clean clothes etc, but not having any lengthy contact with my mother is distressing for her and potentially detrimental to her recovery.
What is happening? It does seem to be Worcestershire hospitals that are having this issue

1.10.3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) and Genetic Testing
Forward to 1C on breast density. Back to 1A on breast cancer screening.
1.7 The Results of Breast Screening Programs
The published literature on breast cancer screening programs worldwide provides useful statistical data. The information provided shows the rate of breast cancer detection, the recall rate, detection of 'in-situ' and invasive breast cancer and tumor size.
From the cumulative data on breast cancer screening worldwide, it is possible to estimate the reduction in breast cancer-related mortality as a direct result of breast cancer screening.
1.7.1 Participation Rates, Recall Rates and Cancer Detection Rates
For women invited to the breast cancer screening programs, the participation rate tends to be around 70%. The recall rate, for follow-up investigations, including biopsy, is typically just under 7%.
A majority of 'suspicious' findings on breast cancer mammography turn out to be benign. The rate of breast cancer detection is about 0.5% that is, 1 in 200 cases.
About 92% of screening mammograms do not require additional follow-up imaging.
Between 60% to 70% of women who go through a follow-up diagnostic mammogram or ultrasound and have imaging features abnormal enough to require a biopsy, will turn out to have benign breast disease only.
1.7.2 The Types of Breast Abnormalities Detected (Invasive vs In-Situ Carcinoma)
Ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) is an early stage breast cancer that has not yet invaded into the breast, beyond the breast duct. When a breast cancer is discovered and removed at the in-situ stage, the 'cure' rate is almost 100%.
DCIS may or may not present clinically as a 'lump', and is far more likely to be detected on mammogram, often by the presence of micro-calcifications.
1.7.3 Size of Tumors Detected in Initial Screening
The grade of a breast cancer can be determined only by microscopic (pathology) analysis of the breast tissue.
In the breast screening program, invasive breast cancers less than 10 mm in diameter account for 30 – 50% of tumors discovered on initial screening; larger tumors, greater than 15 mm comprise around 50% of breast cancers initially detected. A breast tumor of 15 mm is still considered to be small and treatable.
1.7.4 Node-Negative Status
'Node-negative' status means that there is no metastasis of cancer cells to the lymph nodes that drain the breast.
Of breast cancers detected in initial breast screening, 'node negative' status was between 70 to 75%. That is spread of breast carcinoma to the lymph nodes tends to be detected in about 25% of women screened for breast cancer.
Patients who detect breast cancer by clinical examination alone, and not by screening mammography, are about 10% more likely to have positive lymph node involvement at the time of diagnosis of breast cancer.
1.7.5 Ratio of Benign to Malignant Tumors
If a tumor is found, a biopsy is usually taken. The following data represents the ratio of benign to malignant tumors as discovered through biopsy.
It is likely that a suspicious finding sent for biopsy will turn out to be a benign breast condition unrelated to cancer.
1.7.6 Size of Invasive Tumors
The size of the tumor at initial screening is an important factor in determining the outcome for the patient and the appropriate treatment measures.
The benchmark indicator for tumor size is whether or not it is less than 10 mm in diameter, with 15 mm being a second important benchmark.
About 25% of breast cancers discovered on initial screening are less than 10 mm.
1.7.7 Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS)
Ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) is a non-infiltrative cancer which is still confined to the breast duct. DCIS represents between 20% to 40% of all detected breast cancers.
The rate at which DCIS progresses to invasive cancer is around 30% of all cases over a ten year period. The prognosis for breast carcinomas discovered at the 'in-situ' stage, is almost 100% positive.
1.7.8 'Interval' Cancers
An 'interval cancer' is one that is detected on a subsequent screening, which was absent on the previous screening.
It is an indication of a 'false negative' screening result and is seen in more aggressive forms of breast cancer.
Approximately 0.1% of women who have no breast cancer detectable on initial screening will show breast cancer on subsequent screening. However, it can also be stated that a woman's risk of developing breast cancer increases with age, so annual to bi-annual follow-up is advised.
1.8 Breast Cancer Screening Results Worldwide
Breast cancer continues to be the commonest cancer in women worldwide, including in women in developing countries. Breast cancer incidence and breast cancer mortality rates are still increasing in most countries of Africa and Asia.
The WHO has estimated that, worldwide, more than 508,000 women died in 2011 from breast cancer. Almost 50% of cases of breast cancer and 58% of deaths from breast cancer now occur in less developed countries.
Incidence rates of breast cancer are 19.3 per 100,000 women in East Africa and 89.7 per 100,000 women in Western Europe. In developing regions of the world, the incidence rates are less than 40 per 100,000, with the lowest incidence rates in African countries. Breast cancer incidence rates are also increasing in the developing countries.
Screening programs for the early detection of breast cancer have been implemented in several countries in the past 20 to 30 years. The results tend to be consistent in terms of actual breast cancers detected.
Breast cancer screening results from Sweden, other European countries, the United Kingdom and Australia give similar results to those in North America for cancer detection rates.
1.8.1 Participation Rates in Breast Cancer Screening Programs Worldwide
Worldwide, the rate of participation in breast cancer screening programs tends to range between 60% and 70%. Studies have suggested that women who participate in breast cancer screening programs are better informed about health care and cancer-prevention.
1.8.2 Recall Rates Worldwide
If a suspicious finding is present on initial mammography, a woman may be recalled. In most cases, there are benign findings on recall.
Mammographic findings that raise concern and cause a woman to be recalled are the presence of micro-calcifications, areas of increased breast density, and any apparent lesion with ill-defined borders and an irregular shape.
The recall rate from initial breast cancer screening tends to be between 7% and 9%; recall from additional annual screenings between 5% to 7%.
1.8.3 Invasive Cancer Detection Rate Worldwide
Worldwide, the rate for detection of invasive breast cancers on initial breast cancer screening mammogram tends to be around 0.3%.
1.9 Lifetime Risk of Developing Breast Cancer with Age
The single most significant factor influencing the risk of developing breast cancer is age. Women in their 30's and younger have very little risk of developing breast cancer, but once a woman is over the age of 40 years, the risk begins to increase rapidly.
This is the main reason breast cancer screening is usually suggested every year to every 18 months for women aged 40 years and over. But in general terms, based on a life expectancy of 85 years, the cumulative risk for breast cancer development for all women is thought to be approximately 1 in 8.
For women at the age of 30 years, the rate of breast cancer development is about 1 in 2,000. When a woman reaches 40 years of age that risk increases to about 1 in 233, and this is taken as a baseline in determining relative risk ratios from screening indicators.
As women age beyond 40 years, the risk of breast cancer development increases significantly. Women in their 50' s have a 1 in 53 chance of breast cancer development, while a woman of age 60 years has a chance of developing beast cancer of 1 in 22.
For a 70 year old woman the chances of developing breast cancer are 1 in 13, and for woman 80 years and above, the chances really quite high, at 1 in 9.
So, over the entire course of a woman's life, it is reasonable to suggest that the chances of developing breast cancer are about 1 in 8.

1.10 Inherited Genes and Genetic Testing for Breast Cancer
There are specific genetic mutations that are inherited and that predispose women to breast cancer, but these are rare. Only 5% to 6% of all breast cancer is associated with a 'breast cancer susceptibility gene.' These genes include:
- p53
1.10.1 BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genes
The most important of these breast cancer susceptibility genes are BRCA1 localized to chromosome 17q21, and BRCA2 localized to chromosome 13q12-13, which are mutated from their normal form. These inherited gene mutations are associated with an increased susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancer in women.BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations are inherited as autosomal dominant, highly penetrant, germ line mutations
- Women with BRCA1 mutation have a 55% to 85% increase in lifetime risk for breast cancer.
- Women with BRCA2 mutation have a 50% to 85% increase in lifetime risk for breast cancer.
- There is an increase in ipsilateral and contralateral breast cancer in BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers, over long follow-up periods.
- Ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) occurs at an earlier age in BRCA mutation carriers than in non-carriers.
BRCA1 mutation carriers may have elevated risks for cancers of the uterus, cervix, pancreas, esophagus, stomach, and prostate; the risks are not well defined.
BRCA2 mutation carriers are at increased risk of cancers of the prostate and pancreas and may have elevated risks of cancer of the stomach, gallbladder and bile duct, esophagus and skin, including melanoma.
Genetic testing is now possible in order to find out if these genes are present. Both women and men can inherit these genes, so a family history of breast cancer is an indicator for both women and men for genetic testing.
Knowledge of the presence of 'breast cancer susceptibility genes' may allow an individual to take steps to prevent the development of breast cancer at an early stage.
i. Prevalence of BRCA 1 and BRCA2 Gene Mutations
The prevalence of a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation in the general population of people of European ancestry is approximately 0.25%.
Less than 10% of all women with breast cancer, and possibly 15 percent or more ovarian cancers, are associated with an inherited, germ line (inherited) genetic mutation.
Approximately 50 % of all patients with inherited, early-onset breast cancer carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation.
ii. Guidelines for Who Should Have Genetic Testing
If there is any doubt as to whether you should have genetic testing, it is best to discuss this with a family physician first.
The current guidelines are helpful:
- If you have two or more close relatives (mother, sister, daughter) with breast or ovarian cancer, especially if one or more of the relatives were diagnosed with cancer before they turned 50 years of age.
- Or, if you have a close family member with more than one cancer, such as cancer in both breasts, or cancer in the breast and the ovary.
- Or, if you have family members from different generations (on your father or mother's side) with breast or ovarian cancer; your grandmother, mother or sister.
- Or, if you have had a 'triple negative' breast cancer (TNBC), which is negative on Her-2 testing and negative for estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR).
But, it is important to note the following, should you think of having genetic testing:
- Most women who have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer do not have an abnormal gene.
- If you are thinking about having genetic testing because a family member has cancer, first ask if she or he has been tested or is willing to be tested first.
- If a person with cancer does not have the mutation, it is less likely that you will have a cancer susceptibility gene.
If you decide to have genetic testing, it is advisable to talk to a genetic counselor first. Information about contacting a genetic counselor may be found here.
iii. What To Do If You Test Positive for BRCA1 or BRCA2:
It is important to ask your family physician and your genetic counselor what the positive test results mean for you. This is because you will be able to find out what you can do to lower your chances of getting cancer.
You should tell members of your family about the test results as it affects their health too. Some of your family members might also want to get tested for genetic susceptibility.
1.10.2 How You Can Lower Your Chances of Having Breast Cancer, if You Have BRCA Gene Mutation?
- You can have screening for breast and ovarian cancer more often, to improve your chances of early cancer detection and early treatment.
- You may wish to consider having your breasts and ovaries surgically removed.
- You may wish to take medicines (tamoxifen) that help prevent breast cancer.
- It is possible to combine some or all of these choices.
- A monthly breast self-exam (BSE) beginning at age 18. You should learn how to perform BSE.
- A breast exam, performed by your doctor or nurse, every six months beginning at age 25.
- A mammogram once per year, beginning at age 25 (or individualized based on family history).
- A breast MRI, which is typically done alternating with a mammogram every six months, beginning at age 25 or individualized, based on family history.
1.10.3 'Triple Negative' Breast Cancer (TNBC) and Genetic Testing
Triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) are those that lack Her-2, estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR); these breast cancers account for approximately 15% to 20% of breast cancer diagnoses.
It is estimated that between 10% to 20% of women with TNBC have a BRCA1 mutation while a BRCA2 mutation is much less common.
Because of this association, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines have recommended that women with TNBC diagnosed at age 60 years or younger should be offered BRCA1/2 counseling and testing regardless of ethnicity and family history.

I entered a small cabin that had the inside walls painted red. I hesitantly walked up to the door and opened it. I could see a large field, covered with trees, grass and other small cabins. I stepped outside and looked around. I don't even know how to play this... There was a loud splat next to me that made my heart jump. I quickly moved behind a tree. I tried to hold my gun steady but my hands were shaking violently. With a quick step, I jumped out and fired three fast rounds at the opposing player. He fell on the ground in pain. I walked over and saw that he had on an orange vest. I continued running through the "forest" and saw another guy in a brown vest lying on the ground with yellow paint in the middle of his vest. So I guess Mason has been by... So as far as I know, two people are down, so that leaves 8 of us. I could hear leaves crunching to my right. I turned to see a Blue paintball coming straight towards me. At that moment, It was as if timed slowed down. I quickly dodged behind another tree. "Really, Alex? Trying to shoot your best friend?" I could hear his laughing an then he shouted back, "Oh, right, I'm gonna save you for last." Then I could hear his footsteps fading away. I looked around before stepping from behind the tree. This definitely is a strange game. "What the hell!" I shouted as I felt someone placing their hand on my shoulder. I then saw it was Mason. He held his finger up to his mouth, signaling me to silence. "Come on." I told him. He moved beside me slowly and quietly. This feels like something from a secret agent movie. "How many have you taken out?" He asked me. "One. You?" I replied. "Three." He whispered back. Whoa. He's good. "Have you seen Alex." he as we kept moving back to back. "Yeah, and he tried to kill me." I chuckled. "Shh!" He suddenly said. "Do you hear that?"
"No." I said looking around. "Exactly. The silence. Everyone else is in the other quadrants. Come on, let's go back to Red's cabin." He said as he began running. I quickly followed him with no question.
When we arrived at the cabin, there was still no one there. I sat down on the couch and he sat next to me. "Damn. That was weird." I said suddenly. "Definitely. So... Tracy, you're gay right?" The question struck me like a semi truck. I mean, everyone knew and I didn't really care, but it's just been a while since anyone's asked. "Yeah." I answered. "So, how is it. You know, Having sex with a guy?" He asked as he scooted a little closer. "I- I don't know. I haven't done it." I replied shyly. "Oh." The "Oh" He gave me was strange. As if he was curious, or confused. He leaned over to me and started pushing me down. I was kind of confused and mesmerized. I Obediently layed down and let him crawl on top of me. He wrapped my legs around his waist and began slowly grinding his hips into my ass. He leaned down close to my face. So close, I could taste his sweet breath on my lips. But he leaned past my lips. He leaned in to my ear and I felt a sharp jolt in my side and realized he had shot me. "Gotcha." He whispered.
"Wasn't that the most amazing paintball game ever?" Alex asked as we began driving back towards our neighborhood. "Yeah... it was fun..." I said flatly as I gave Mason a cold stare. "Yep it was the best thing ever." Mason said as he gave me a sly smile. "Yeah, we've got to do this again. Maybe next time, we can play on teams!" Alex said excitedly. I can't believe that ASS tricked me like that! We were on a mission and BAM! I get shot in the back. Absolutely disgusting. "I'm sorry Tracy!" Mason said as he rapped his arm around my shoulder. "Uhh. No." I replied, shaking him off me. "Here we are." Alex said as we arrived at Mason's house. "Thanks for the fun day guys. See ya at 8!" He said as he got out and slammed the door. "Hey, Trace, you can sit in the front if you want." He said as he moved the box to the backseat. I got out and hopped in the front. The "guys" and I were planning to go to the movies tonight, though we don't know what we're watching yet. "We should go back next weekend." Alex said as he began to drive off. "Ya know, after today, I don't really feel like paintball is my thing..." I saw his smile fade. "Oh... Well that's ok..." He looked absolutely disappointed and sad as he looked down for a second. "I'm just kidding. It was pretty fun buddy." I said as I grabbed his right arm and gave it a squeeze. "Whoa, someone's been working out." I laughed as I squeezed his arm again. "Well I don't mean to brag but..." He then flexed his arm muscles and it felt just like squeezing a boulder. He chuckled and continued driving. I was about two seconds from fainting of all the masculinity in the car, so I let go of his arm. "I'm planning on joining the school swim team this year. Are you gonna come watch me?" He asked. "Ha! I'd probably come just to watch you prancing around in a speedo." We both laughed. "Aww, Baby!" God I hate it when he does that. He would play around and call me "cutie" or "babe" or "sexy" and I didn't like it because it would get me excited, the way it just rolls of his tongue like the sweetest of honey. "If you wanted to see me in a speedo, all you had to do was ask." He giggled as he leaned over and kissed my cheek quickly. "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Why does he have to be so cute sometimes! And straight! "Aww! Really? Well I'm taking you up on that offer." I said, crossing my arms. "Ok!" He said as we pulled up into my driveway. "I'll be in in a little bit. I gotta find my speedo. I rolled my eyes and scoffed at him as I hopped out of his car, walking into my house. I walked in and saw that mom still wasn't home. I walked in to my room and fell back hard on my bed. "I'm in that moment again.." I thought. That moment when Alex suddenly becomes the hottest thing with two legs. "Damn... Get over it Tracy. He'll never like you." I thought to myself. Alex burst into my room in a navy blue speedo, thrusting his thick, outlined package all over the place. I was doubled over and laughing on the floor, clenching my sides from the pain. "Ta-da!' He laughed and did an obscene pose. I picked myself up and sat on the edge of my bed and he sat next to me. His thick cock was basically staring at me, begging me to touch it. "Ok sir, you need to put that away." I motioned to his groin. "Sorry, is this better?" He leaned back on his elbows and began thrusting his cock towards me. "Come on Tracy, touch it! You know you want to. Plus it's cold." He said as he gave me puppy eyes. "No!" I said between laughs. "Pleaseeeee!" He begged playfully. Was he serious? This is probably a once in a lifetime thing. I placed my hand on top of his cock and began slowly rubbing back and forth. He let out a slight whimper of a moan. The room fell into silence as I continued rubbing him. I could feel his rigid, eight inch cock expanding and getting harder through the tight fabric. "He sat up for a second and stood up. He pulled the speedo all the way down to his ankles and then kicked it to the side. He stood in front of me, making his cock bounce right in front of my face. He bit his lip playfully and slid his hand up my neck to the back of my head. He slowly pulled me toward his veiny cock and put the head tip on my lips. "Do you want it Tracy?" He asked as he stared deep into my eyes. I just moaned in reply, I couldn't make any words. He slowly pushed it past my trembling lips and in to my hungry mouth. He moaned as he hit the back of my throat and pulled back, over and over again. "Oh god, Tracy." He moaned as he picked up his pace. My cock was hurting against the fabric of my jeans. It was so hard and drenched in precum. Alex moved his hand from my head and continued shoving into my throat. I choked a few times, but I kept going. I reached my hand up and wrapped my hand around the base of his cock and gave it a hard, long, sucking. He let out a loud moan and unloaded like a rocket in my mouth. I quickly swallowed his sweet liquid and prepared for the next blast. When he was done, he pulled his wet, spent cock from my mouth with soft pop. He leaned down and kissed my lips passionately. Oh my gosh. I can't believe this is happening...

We Have Colored And Invisible Braces
To give you a number of options, we let you choose between an assortment of colors and invisible braces. That's just one of many things we do to show how much we care about you and your teeth.
Colored and Invisible Braces May Contribute to Treatment Success
While colors and invisible braces are fun, the fun serves a serious purpose. Enthusiastic patients are more cooperative. And better cooperation can yield results that meet everyone's expectations.
When patients decide to become involved in their treatment, they usually take better care of their braces. The bottom line is, when patients follow our instructions, they can end up with better results.
Regarding colors, patients have a splashy array of hues from which to choose for much of their orthodontic hardware. Even the replaceable rubber bands that many patients put in and take out daily come in about as many colors as you'd see at a fabric store. Patients won't take the time to choose special colors unless they intend to use them.
Colors and Invisible braces have gone over big with countless braces-wearers.
Colored Braces Make a Fashion Statement
For orthodontic patients who choose to make fashion statements with their mouths, colors are really heating up. From soft pastels that coordinate with a wardrobe to bright hues for celebrating holidays or expressing school spirit, the colors appear mainly on the elastic ties that bind the wires to the brackets. These ties can be changed when the wires are changed.
Braces Add a Splash of Color For All Occasions
St. Patrick's Day is only one of the many holidays that orthodontic patients can brace themselves for. They can celebrate every time they smile, year-round: Orange and black for Halloween. Red and white for Valentine's Day, and on July 4, just add blue. Green and red for Christmas, or blue and white for Chanukah, or black, red, and green for Kwanzaa.
Many adults also choose different colors whenever they need to have their braces adjusted. For a sports fanatic,
it's a unique way to express loyalty to college or pro teams. Arch wires are also available in many striking colors
from metallic red and green to gold.
Retainers Can Be Fun TooOnce the braces are off, retainers are another means of personal expression. They aren't all roof-of-the-mouth pink nowadays. Some glow in the dark, and some are personalized with a photo of Fido or Cindy Crawford, or even the logo of a favorite sports team. Choices are limited only by the imagination. Young male patients, of whom many are into anything gross, may choose spiders, snakes or other creepy crawlers for their retainers.
The AAO notes that more people than ever are bracing themselves. Colorful retainers and other orthodontic trappings,
of course, are only part of the reason for this trend. Patients are finding that today's high-tech materials are
more comfortable. The sophisticated engineering of the tooth-moving wires developed through NASA and activated by
body heat has increased their tensile strength and flexibility, which makes orthodontic treatment more comfortable.
(Some patients want braces that are nearly invisible so they choose clear brackets through which their teeth can be
seen, or lingual braces, which are applied to the backs of the teeth to move them from behind the scenes.)
