The Digital Production Partnership's standardised QC Guidelines, released this week, are designed to bring the quality checking process forward in the chain to post-production houses. Loudness is a major part of this but UK facilities are still working to earlier recommendations, so will there be parity in the near future?
In the business world, and life in general, everyone working to the same rules, or overall goals – all reading off the same page in marketing parlance – is preferable to having different targets and regulations for the same thing. Unfortunately the reality is usually that new recommendations, directives and guidelines are often staggered in their introduction, creating a situation where people in the same industry can be working to varying specifications.
This state of affairs exists to an extent in the UK where audio loudness control for television production is concerned. TV commercials are mixed according to guidelines set in 2008 by the Broadcast Committee on Advertising Practice (BCAP) of the ASA (Advertising Standards Authority). Dramas, documentaries and other long-form productions have been mixed to either 6 on a PPM (peak programme meter) or a loudness meter to one of the relevant standards introduced in recent years. In the UK has meant either ITU BS 1770, which appeared in 2006, or EBU R128, launched in 2010, although some broadcasters, notably ITV, still use an updated version of the algorithm written for the Chromatec loudness meter in the early 2000s.
Standardisation is now much closer with the publication last year of the DPP specifications for file-based delivery of programmes to broadcasters. These include R128 for loudness and although it is not yet mandatory, broadcasters, including Sky, have adopted it for their output. The publication this week of the DPP's Quality Control (QC) Guidelines, ahead of the planned shift to full file-based operations by this October, has further consolidated the market in terms of loudness normalisation.
This highlights the existing inconsistency with TV commercials. The BCAP guidelines recommend that advertisements should be mixed on a loudness meter, "ideally conforming to ITU recommendations". But they do allow for facilities still using PPM Type IIa peak meters, stating that commercials should be "at least 6dB less than the maximum level of the programmes". As programmes are usually mixed with a highest target of '6' on a PPM, ads should read 4.5.
Owen Griffiths (pictured), chief engineer with commercials audio post-production specialist Jungle Studios, observes that UK post houses in this sector have continued to use PPMs because video post facilities still have that requirement "because it's what the companies distributing the commercials want".
Griffiths comments that the BCAP recommendations of using either 1770 or PPM4.5 are "probably a little too loose", particularly as 1770 meters can be set to different parameters. Jungle has a variety of loudness units; its main tool is the Nugen system, with other devices, including Chromatec and DK, also offered to satisfy individual broadcasters' requirements. For international projects Jungle is also able to work to the US A/85 and Australian OP-59 specifications, among other national standards.
Despite this making for what Griffiths describes as a "disparate approach", the work done over the last few years in the UK has, he says, led to achieving the same thing everybody in broadcasting and facilities wants with loudness, "ultimately not being fined by Ofcom". He adds, "There are different rules for commercials and programmes but one of the great achievements is that there is a situation where no one is being penalised and there is consistency across all genres."
The main advertisement distribution companies, including IMD and Adstream, also have to work with the recommendations as they are and the occasionally loose implementation of them. John Bolton, director of broadcaster relations and development at IMD, points out that the DDP specs are for programmes but that most post houses now mix ads with respect to R128. "As the UK and Ireland broadcasters have not settled upon one format yet for audio and we deliver to all, like Adstream we ask for all material to peak to -10dBfs (PPM6 BBC Type II PPM) so the post houses simply change the gain of the material to meet PPM 6," he says. "The reality is most audio posts mix sympathetically already so the final mile delivery is largely irrelevant."
Kevin Burrows, DPP technical standards lead and chief technology officer for broadcast and distribution at Channel 4, comments that if all material is mixed to R128 the problem of loudness will be minimised, adding that already there were "fewer complaints" from viewers about this issue. He also says the DPP has been talking to BCAP and suggests that in the end the commercial specifications will be revised. BCAP itself states: "Advertising Code 4.7 (Harm and Offence) of the Broadcast Code still applies in relation to noise levels on TV. We're aware of, and welcome, the DPP's work in this area and we're having discussions with them, which might result in the changes to the Code."

The chairman of the National Assembly's Commission on Legislation and Justice has called for a united effort to safeguard the rights and interests of indigenous peoples.
Pen Panha said Cambodia paid attention to indigenous peoples in areas such as tradition, identity, land ownership, and rights to participate in politics, economic, social and cultural activities.
In a workshop titled "The Dissemination of Traditional Rules, Policies National and International Laws relating to the Indigenous Peoples" at the National Assembly yesterday he said indigenous people were protected by national and international laws and policies.
However, he admitted that they experienced challenges from economic and social changes in the areas where they lived.
Their land, culture, language and traditions were also under pressure from development and globalisation, Mr Panha said.
He urged ministries, institutions and local authorities to "continue to strengthen all data, share information and collaborate to address challenges and provide better services to indigenous peoples".
Mr Panha also continued to push for identification and registration of community land, recognition of indigenous communities, and provision of legal ownership of collective land to the community, as well as the protection of the rights and interests of indigenous peoples.
Mong Vichet, representing the Highlanders Association, said hydropower dams, economic land concessions, social land concessions, mining concessions and tourism had helped the nation and the national economy to develop, but also affected the lives, land, culture and traditions of indigenous people.
"We ask for help. Indigenous people do not reject development but we ask for win-wins in which the community, government and our whole country will profit," he said. "We ask for mitigation of the impact."
Kouy ethnic minority member Sien Kheourn, 59, of Preah Vihear province's Chey Sen district, said tribal people feared the loss of their farmland and trees due to Chinese companies digging mines.
"We do not want a ban on any location where the government wants to carry out developments, but in places where there is collective land and farming land, we would like to ask for the registration of that land for protection by indigenous people," he said.
Interior Ministry Secretary of State Pol Lim said the government had paid special attention to tribal communities and always helped to solve challenges facing indigenous people.
This included identification and recognition of indigenous communities, collective land registration, and resolving land disputes by implementing the government's win-win policy.
According to documents provided at the workshop, Cambodia has 24 indigenous groups in 503 communities. About 45,000 indigenous families, or about 200,000 people, live in 15 provinces.

The Israeli National Planning and Building Commission's committee for principle planning matters today approved the establishment of the city of Kassif, which will house 50,000 charedim at Tel Arad in the Negev. The plan will now go to the National Commission for approval.
Ministry of Housing and Construction, under Minister Ariel Atias (Shas), initiated the plan. The first stage of Kassif involves 10,000 housing units on a 4,750-dunam (1,188-acre) site.
The planning document states that the land zoning and internal land use are based on the charedi lifestyle. The apartments will be fairly large, extensive land has been zoned for religious schools and religious cultural centers. Land has also been zoned for suitable employment for the charedi population.
Net population density balances the necessary apartment size for large charedi families in multistory buildings without elevators, with these families' limited financial wherewithal. Average housing density will be four units per dunam (16 per acre), compared with seven apartments per dunam (28 per acre) for secular families.

Hiam Chemaitelly, Susanne F Awad, James D Shelton, Laith J Abu-Raddad Journal of the International AIDS Society, 2014; JIAS, 2014, 17: 18765 Sources of HIV incidence among stable couples in sub-Saharan Africa
The dynamics of HIV incidence among stable couples should inform HIV prevention strategy.
Close to two-thirds of total HIV incidence every year in sub-Saharan Africa occurs within the context of marriage or cohabitation. However, only half of these infections are actually attributed to HIV transmissions from the infected to the uninfected partner within the couple. The rest are acquired through extra-partner sexual encounters of the couple.
Like earlier studies, this paper concludes that HIV distribution is roughly in equal proportions
- among external infections to couples
- within couples
- among persons not in couples
Further research and intervention impact assessments are needed, in order to propose recommendations for HIV policy and programming.

21 Responses to "Sunday School Lesson #34"
September 20, 2007 at 5:39 pm
I am preparing this lesson for next Sunday. I hoped to write two or three posts but will satisfy myself for now in commenting here.
I have been reading Neil Elliott's LIBERATING PAUL: The justice of God and the politics of the Apostle, and finding it fascinating. Elliott has such interesting things to say about Romans 1, for instance, that before I comment too much on that for the Romans lesson I wanted to see what Jim wrote also, so I've ordered your book, Jim.
Again, for now, my thoughts are that my lesson will center on 1 Cor. 15, the chapter on the Resurrection, and Paul's doctrine concerning this. But I want to touch on a couple of other things.
For instance, according to Elliott, the instruction regarding head covering in chapter 11 is actually given to the MEN, who have been inappropriately covering their heads (v. 4). Why is this inappropriate? We know that Jewish men covered their heads, but these were not Jews. Again, why is this instruction necessary to the Corinthian men? Elliott writes (p. 209): "Paul also proscribes one of the most widely recognized gestures of Roman piety when he insists that men may not cover their heads in prayer in the Christian ekklesia, as a Roman would normally do when he came before the gods of the city. Paul declares that this ordinary gesture dishonors their "head," who is Christ (11:2-16)"
Elliott argues that to read this passage as concerned with women's head-coverings makes the passage almost impenetrable: "It has proven just as difficult to explain why Paul, who clearly endorses the women's right to pray and prophesy in the assembly, should apparently want to subordinate them symbolically to a mascualine hierarchy; or why, for their part, women who had supposedly thrown off such head coverings in an enthusiastic gesture of equality in the Spirit would be persuaded by Paul's supposed counterarguments about "propriety."
Instead, Elliott says, the whole point of the passage is that 1) the head of every man is Christ and 2) "any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head," that is, Christ (11:4).
He further explains: "This gesture on the part of a pious man was common enough, indeed ubiquitous, in Roman religion. Pulling his toga up over his head was "the iconographic mark of a sacrificant presidenting over a specifically Roman ritual," .. . and several scholars have argued this is the most plausible context of 1 Corinthians 11: 2-16.
Elliott writes quite a bit more about this, more than I can probably quote, but finally he says: "The thrust of Paul's argument is rather that for a man to adopt in the ekklesia a gesture recognized throughout the empire as the sign of pietas, and thus to emulate the emperor's own virtue, would dishonor the man's head, since that "head" is Christ – the one whom Caesar's subordinate in Judea had crucified. . . . Corinthian images of both Augustus and Nero worshiping with their heads covered invited the channeled wealth and power upward to the emperor; even to feel awe and reverence before the sacred trappings of piety in which the imperium was cloaked. Paul declares such reverence incompatible with the headship of Christ." (211)
Further, v. 5 clearly shows that Paul EXPECTS women to pray and prophesy in church, even to lead in this way.
That's all I have time for tonight – will address 1 Cor. 14:34-35 tomorrow, and also the passages on sexual morality, specifically against the backdrop of what was going on in Corinth and indeed the Roman empire of the time.
September 20, 2007 at 5:51 pm
Cheryl—Why couldn't your comment, as it is, be made into a separate post? I am ignorant of the topic, so I would love to hear what other people have to say (including other scholars). Hopefully others will find your comment here and discuss.
I think you may have a typo: "Instead, Elliott says, the whole point of the passage is that 1) the head of every man is Christ and 2) "any man who prays or prophesies with his head uncovered dishonors his head," that is, Christ (11:4)." Do you mean covered or uncovered?
September 21, 2007 at 4:30 am
Cheryl, #4—I eagerly await your elaborated posts on those topics.
September 22, 2007 at 12:43 pm
Well, I really appreciate this information about the head covering. As I looked over these verses it occurred to me that the head being talked about is not the person scalp or hair but must refer back to verse 3 where is says the man's head it Christ and the woman's head is the man. So the individual who is the head in the following discussion is the individual not the body part. What Cheyl quoted Elliot as saying makes so much sense.
Now the other thing that kind of bothers me, maybe you can help,is verse 20.JST changes, "this is not to eat the Lord's supper." to, "Is it not to eat the Lord's supper."This puts the discussion that follows into a whole new light. According to JST Paul is not talking about a pot luck dinner. He is talking about the misuse of the sacrament of the Lord's supper, is he not?
September 23, 2007 at 6:23 am
Jim: It seems to me that Paul's comment "though I give my body to be burned" (1 Cor. 13:3) may be a perfectly reasonable translation. I think he is saying that even if be becomes a martyr for the faith, which would invite the praise and admiration of the faithful, if he has failed to develop charity, he has failed in his central mortal mission of emulating the attributes of our Father in Heaven. In some ways it is easier to do a single big thing than to be consistent in doing all of the little things that manifest a genuine godly love toward others.
September 23, 2007 at 10:58 am
Steven D. Aird: You're right that your interpretation is consistent with the King James translation as a whole. However, the problems with it are two:
(1) Historically, severe persecution of Christians had not yet begun, so speaking of being burned for the gospel would have been odd, though not impossible.
(2) We are not sure what the Greek text of the verse was. It is a reconstruction from several texts that have so much variation between them that we cannot be confident in what the original text said. However, given what we now know about the Greek texts, including a number of texts unavailable to the KJV translators, it is doubtful that it means "though I give my body to be burned."

I also think that the third possibility is the best. The problem in Corinth is that people are eating the Sacrament as if it were an ordinary meal. They aren't remembering / recognizing that it is an ordinance and that the bread has symbolic significance, that it represents the body of Christ. The Greek verb translated "significance" is diakrino meaning to make a distinction: they aren't making a distinction between regular bread and bread that has been consecrated as part of the Sacrament.

Thanks, Robert. So let's say, hypothetically, somebody has committed adultery on a Friday night (or any night of the week, for that matter), and then goes to church on Sunday. Based on what I hear from my local leaders, the sacrament should not be taken under any circumstance, almost like they're doing their time for the crime. I strongly disagree with that idea, but it's all I've ever heard regarding serious sin like that. Are there any scriptures that point to this sort of practice? I mean, Paul doesn't even mention the sins of the body in his discourse, only the sins of pride, forgetfulness (sins of the heart, perhaps). Is it right to "punish," yourself for committing a serious sin by not taking the sacrament? Because to me, it seems like a time when it's needed the most. It seems counterintuitive to me. In fact, in verse 28, Paul says "But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup." We are to view ourselves precisely in our unworthiness to become worthy of partaking of the sacrament itself.
September 24, 2007 at 1:37 pm
Robert C: I'm embarassed to say that I wasn't paying attention. I meant "discerning" rather than "signficance." It is I who am missing something, not you.
I understand church leaders' comments about taking the Sacrament unworthily to be a response to the sacramental prayers. It seems reasonable to believe that it is difficult to have committed adultery on Saturday night and then, on Sunday, to make the covenants that are embedded in the sacramental prayers without doing so hypocritically. Surely some time is required for me, much less others, to see whether I am truly willing to keep the covenant of obedience I make with the Sacrament. I'm not punishing myself by not taking the Sacrament. I'm recognizing that I may not be in a position to commit to what it demands.
September 24, 2007 at 6:38 pm
Robert C., there is a chapter discussing church discipline in Oaks' book "The Lord's Way" and I was thinking myself of "Miracle of Forgiveness" and the process of repentance.
I don't have any particular experience with church discipline, but I've talked about the subject with my father who has been involved in several instances. The most important thing (and "The Lord's Way" supports this) is that the disciplinary council is trying to help the person repent. The removal of temple blessings, sacrament, callings, etc. is not meant to be punishment, but to help someone in their repentance. The severity of the limitations seems to be dependent on how humble the person already is, or how far along they are in repentance. It is not some formula of "You committed this sin, so you must have x, y, and z done." It's more are you willingly, humbly confessing? and is the depth of your remorse really what you need to obtain forgiveness and through revelation (my father always went into these fasting) this is what we need to do to help you repent.
It is interesting to try to gain insights from what was happening with the Corinthians that led to this teaching, and I appreciate the comments already shared. There are, of course, other places where the same thing is taught. One is in 3 Nephi 18. Christ has just taught the sacrament to them and before they could be engaged in any wrong practices, he tells them the same thing about taking the sacrament unworthily. In a subsequent verse he talks about repentance as the key (interestingly he also talks about church membership and keeping them from being numbered for the good of the members). One contrast between the two passages is Paul's seems to be a personal evaluation, but Christ's is instruction to the leaders or the church to prevent anyone from unworthily partaking of the sacrament.
So if someone is unrepentant of their Friday night fling and they take the sacrament, it is done in vain. If they repent Saturday and think they are ready to renew their covenant and expect that they have Christ's name upon them and are ready for constant companionship of the Spirit, SWK would argue that they don't have a clue what repentance is and that they have not suffered comparable to the magnitude of their sin.
I imagine one benefit of withholding the sacrament from them is to help them realize the seriousness of their sin and help them to become more humble, whereas allowing them to take the sacrament may lead them to think that they are back in full fellowship resulting in incomplete repentance.
From Jake's original question: I hope that being distracted during sacrament requires me to pass up the sacrament, because every week I'm distracted by my 3 little ones and it's a wonder I get anything out of church. Actually, the oldest one is getting better, but the younger ones… I wonder if anyone can actually document the story referred to. I have been led to believe that it is a Mormon Urban Legend, but I have not tried that hard to find out if it is true.
September 25, 2007 at 8:20 am
Nanette: "The Corinthians were contending for the limelight and the microphone."
I think that is the essential key for understanding the whole of 1 Corinthians.
September 25, 2007 at 3:53 pm
[…] The third thing we need to try to understand is context, especially context in terms of the life and culture in which Paul wrote. (This has already been demonstrated in comments about headcoverings, here) […]

Class Notes: A Pinebox Primer
-January 9th, 2013
Over the last month or so, I've had a couple of people ask on forums "What is Pinebox? Is there a gazetteer somewhere?" I realized that a lot of fans have come to Savage Worlds since we went silent, so maybe this is a good time to bring everyone up to speed.
12 to Midnight became the first Savage Worlds licensee back in 2003 when we released Last Rites of the Black Guard. This haunted house adventure set the stage for the type of adventures we would become known for — modern day adventures in which the heroes are ordinary people thrown into supernatural mysteries.
The setting for Last Rites and subsequent adventures is the town of Pinebox, Texas– a rural town in the heart of East Texas with more than its share of weirdness. We've given away the setting basics here on our website. Just look to the right and you'll see a link for Pinebox Campaign Setting. In fact, you can learn about Pinebox in two different ways. We started out with the gazetteer/almanac style common in our hobby, which is great if you want to hit the highlights in a hurry. I didn't feel that it really gave the setting justice though, so several years ago I wrote the Jennifer Ridge transcripts— a series of travel reporter interviews with Pinebox locals. You'll find the entire series on that Pinebox Campaign Setting link and I highly encourage you to give the whole thing a read. It's so effective at conveying the setting's essence that it also appeared at the beginning of our fiction anthology Buried Tales of Pinebox, Texas. If you like what you read in the Jennifer Ridge transcripts, Buried Tales is a great way to dig even deeper into the setting.
In addition to the free setting information here on our website, Pinebox has been expanded through our published adventures: Last Rites of the Black Guard, Bloodlines, Skinwalker, Brainwashed, The Beast Within, and our wildly popular convention game Chickens in the Mist (yes, for real). We also collected some "loose" Pinebox adventures and released them as Ed's Midnight Tales and Jerry's Midnight Tales.
Our latest project was by far our largest. Degrees of Horror is a complete Pinebox campaign set on the campus of East Texas University. Between the time that we started the book and when we finished it, we had switched from being a licensee to becoming a studio directly under Pinnacle. All of the 12 to Midnight partners have full time careers (aside from RPGs) and family obligations, and revisions to our first full campaign book took a serious delay due to health problems and "life". Now though, the book has been returned to Pinnacle for review and a place in the production queue. As I mentioned last week, we also have ideas for supplementary support material for the campaign and we have another haunted house adventure ready, so Pinebox's future is bright. Or should I say dark and twisted? [Mwuhahahahah!]
If you're new to Pinebox, I really hope you'll give the Jennifer Ridge transcripts a read. They're free, so that's hard to beat. If you have any questions or comments, the best place to post is on the Pinnacle forums.
Special thanks to Kristian on the Savage Worlds Fan G+ community for the idea for this blog post.
Campus Tour: Tiny Wings Daycare
-July 20th, 2012
As part of ongoing efforts to change the university's image as a party school, in 1994 former President Patterson authorized the creation of a university-sponsored daycare for children of faculty, staff, and adult students. The daycare, named Tiny Wings, opened two years later on the ground floor of the Education building. The daycare was staffed by full-time, licensed caregivers as well as part-time Education students seeking hands-on experience.
From the very beginning, Tiny Wings eschewed typical babysitting and instead emphasized educational curricula. Toddlers were taught rudimentary sign language before they even learned to speak, jump-starting their communication skills. From that early foundation, Education researchers gained valuable insight into learning development by trying a variety of teaching techniques and subject matter on older toddlers.
Within two years, Tiny Wings had earned a reputation as the best daycare in town; a nurturing place for happy, smart children. Unfortunately, their stellar reputation led to a long waiting list for vacancy and grumbling about favoritism. To alleviate the problem, in mid-1998 Tiny Wings was moved from the Education building to larger accommodations in the former Forestry Sciences building, which had been scheduled for demolition. Meanwhile, construction began on a new, state-of-the-art daycare facility.
With construction of the new building more than 80%Â completed, the university abruptly shut down Tiny Wings. Neither the staff nor parents made a fuss over the closure, and within a month the incident was largely forgotten. This may be due in part to those who would talk–the staff and parents the staff quickly finding new jobs in other cities. Oddly, nearly all the parents of children who attended Tiny Wings found reason to leave Pinebox as well.
For a while the new construction sat incomplete, but was eventually remodeled and completed as a student coffee house/lounge that remains open to this day. The Forestry Sciences building, Tiny Wings' final home, proceeded with its demolition ahead of schedule.  The former building is now a parking lot.
Since closing Tiny Wings in 1999, the university has left daycare in the hands of the surrounding community. Most folks have forgotten about Tiny Wings, considering how much time has passed. A lot of time. In fact, some of the little tykes who were there when the whole thing shut down would just about be old enough for college…
Campus Tour: Auxiliary Buildings
-June 8th, 2012
Welcome back to another installment of the Campus Tour. Put on your walking shoes, limber up, and please remember to stay with the group at all times. We're not responsible for accidents resulting from your wandering off the tour path. Today we'll be touring a trio of campus auxiliary buildings.
Shickman Concert Hall– This tall, oddly shaped building is high in the front and low in the back and serves as a concert and speaking hall. Many guest speakers have noted the unusual acoustics on the stage, allowing them to almost distinguish whispering voices coming from somewhere in the stage's wings.
Edmund Dale Memorial Building (Military Sciences, ROTC) – This building was erected in the 1950s during the Dixiecrat movement and named after one of the area's most well known military figures, a Texas Ranger who fought in the Mexican and Civil Wars. The many entrances to this large, single-story building offer easy access to an indoor gun range, armory, classrooms, and a small gym with changing rooms and showers. Morning and afternoon ROTC physical training takes place at the adjacent drill field, which offers bleacher seating for Drill Review. Even further to the east, an infamous obstacle course known as the "meat grinder" awaits the next batch of cocky victims.
Dr. Patrick O'Brien Administration Building– This oddly shaped building was built back in the 1930s and is two stories tall. The building is known for its maze of hallways and small, dark offices. Students and staff alike have claimed to wander the narrow hallways of the second floor in search of an exit for nearly an hour. The Student Services office is found on the first floor, where the line of students awaiting assistance is practically a building fixture.
Campus Tour: Vanderhorn's Workshop
-May 11th, 2012
Welcome to another edition of Campus Tour– your behind-the-scenes look at the people and places you can encounter in Degrees of Horror. This week I'm taking the tour off the beaten path, and off campus. The thing about fighting the forces of darkness in a "real world" setting is the need for supplies. Buffy and Willow went to "the Magic Box" for supplies of an arcane nature, but what about all those wooden stakes? As a student in East Texas, just where do you get your hands on a silvered dagger or body armor on short notice? My answer (in part) was Vanderhorn's Workshop.
Paul Vanderhorn
Paul Vanderhorn's mobile home and workshop lies at the end of a gravel road 100 yards off highway 96. At first glance, the property bears a strong resemblance to a junkyard. The cast-off frames of lawnmowers, weed wackers, and less identifiable machinery litter the yard like abandoned carcasses. Yet sheltered from view by the workshop, target range of punctured targets and mangled mannequins hint at something deeper.
Vanderhorn's reputation as a wizard at small engine repair keeps his workshop busy and the bills paid, but his enthusiasm for renaissance reenactment earns him many a sideways glance from his conservative neighbors. When he isn't fixing chainsaw engines, this modern blacksmith can be found tinkering with armor and weapon designs. Inside the shop, swords, crossbows, pikes, and maces sit in various states of completion alongside dismantled chainsaws and lawnmower engines. The eccentric tinkerer even has a working catapult.
Vanderhorn isn't blind to the paranormal activity in Pinebox's, but age and a bad knee keep him out of the fight. Although he may repeatedly warn characters of the dangers in meddling with the things that go bump in the night, he still looks favorably upon anyone willing to stand against the darkness.
Class Notes: Update and Raven's Loft
-May 4th, 2012
"Class Note Wednesday" has once again blown past "A Little Late Thursday" and right into "Oh-Oh Friday". The good news is that I can finally report that the edits to Plot Point 6 are complete. Here's the breakdown:
Plot Points Completed: 6 of 12
Pages: Â 29 of 41
PP word count: Â 1,750 of 21,585
I exceeded my word count goal for this plot point by 250 words and I still need to move the character stats from its place in a separate chapter to this one. This is not an action-packed adventure like the one I wrote for plot point 4. This is much more about investigation. It's made more difficult because the heroes don't know what they're looking for, only where to find it. As with plot point 5, this adventure has the potential to be memorable and fun, but as with all plot points I'm relying on the GM to fill in the grace notes.
Anyway, on with the campus tour!
The Roost
The Ravens Multi-Use Indoor Arena, aka the Roost, has served the campus community for more than 60 years. Unfortunately the ugly grey, windowless, round building suffers deeply from its cold-war era design aesthetics.
Despite the basketball arena's occasional renovation and creative decorating every couple of decades, the building still shows its age. From peeling paint to vacant fire extinguisher racks to struggling air conditioning, it's no wonder most campus tour guides skip this building. Even so, the building has not completely lost its luster. Every college campus has certain "dare" make-out spots, and ETU is no exception. Making out atop the ETU Ravens logo on the floor of the basketball court is the "Mount Everest" of challenges for adventurous lovers.
Inside, a high-ceiling breezeway circles the ground floor. From the breezeway, patrons enter at the top row of arena seats. Visitors who walk down the aisles to the basketball court can find entrances to a basement level circling the arena situated under the bleachers and breezeway. This basement area circles the entire building includes locker and sports equipment rooms, a loading dock, offices, multi-use classrooms, cramped conference rooms, and so on.
Second only to the football stadium, the Roost is the largest capacity building on campus. Consequently, its use frequently extends beyond basketball. For events like freshman orientation, staff appreciation, talent shows, science fairs, concerts, and so forth, the university covers the wooden floor with padded mats and erects a stage at one end of the court.
It should also be noted that, like many buildings on campus, the Roost has its own urban legends with regard to hauntings. Two ghosts are rumored to make the building their home. One is a serious but otherwise harmless young woman, said to smell of smoke. This ghost has been known to actually speak to people–usually just to say hello–then disappears a moment later. The other ghost only appears in the basement, and is often mistaken for a rival mascot at first. In a typical encounter, a lone student or staff member is walking down the basement hallway when he sees a brown-skinned figure dressed only in a loincloth and carrying a spear. The figure lets out a bloodcurdling scream and charges with spear held forward before disappearing a few steps in front of the hapless victim.
Beginning next week I'll make separate posts for my Class Notes updates versus Campus Tours. I have plenty of material I can queue up for Campus Tours, ensuring that those posts come out every week on time regardless of how things are going with the edits. Hopefully I'll get back on track with my Class Notes posts as well, but the truth is that all the plot points to come either require significant revisions or are complete rewrites.

(Sex) Lives and Deaths of British Worthies
What is it that really puts the stamp of eminence on a modern British life? Certainly not receiving a title in an official honors list. But during your lifetime, two things do count today: having an entry in "Who's Who" and getting asked to choose your eight favorite records on BBC Radio-4's "Desert Island Discs." Britain, being Britain, though, there is also an institution that confers the ultimate celebrity, but only after you're dead: "The Dictionary of National Biography." And now that...

As I look at nature and our relationship to it , it always leads me to consider things differently. It intrigues me that nature is at times overlooked and at times grasped as a means to which we can survive or just live by. What the Kirbas Institute stands for and wants to change in how we consider nature, is that our role in God's creation is not an exclusive one or above nature, but mankind was created among the God's work to be made in His image and identity. As we learn more about ourselves we realize we are not fully separated from God's creation, but were made one under the Heavens and loved in God's unique image, we see things through a life-altering lens. As I read about Christ's demonstration of service and True power:
"Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness." (Phillipians 2:6,7)
God has shown his humility and his demonstration of power through becoming one with his own. If Christ, who with all sovereignty and all dignity did that and demonstrated such humility, how much more should we consider such actions in our own lives.
The gospel is a call to reach out to the unreached and extend a hand of humility in the midst of a proud world. If we can maintain that spirit within our lives, each day will be a more radiant reflection of a life worth living.
"The more we give of ourselves, the more we become who we really are."

Deer don't keep secrets… maybe this is why they stay so trim.
[This is Part 2 of a 5 Part Series on Beating Food Addictions. This series was inspired by the OWN Network show "Addicted to Food." Click here for Part 1.]
As a personal trainer, I would meet with clients every day.
I would get to know them personally.
I knew what they liked to do on their time off, I knew what they would eat on a regular basis (bad or good), I knew their kids names, ages and after-school activities, I sometimes knew things about them that their spouses didn't know – a relationship with a personal trainer is an intimate thing.
In fact, it needs to be.
The reason why is because the secrets that you keep can dramatically influence your personal health and your weight.
If you have a big secret, it may be keeping you from losing weight.
I had a client once, let's call her Sally, who was a very powerful, well credentialed, single executive in her mid-40's.
Not only was she successful, but she was also incredibly sweet and caring.
When I first met her she was just about 400 pounds.
We worked together for a few months.
While we were training, I did my best to get to know her. The reason why is because I've learned that the more you know someone, the more you can help them.
Sally was frustrated. She wasn't happy with who she was. She would eat bags of popcorn at night while watching TV, then feel sick – emotionally and physically – before she went to bed.
I really liked her and I really wanted to help.
Sally's food addiction ran deep in her personality. My own experience with addiction taught me that in order to understand what was causing her binging was that I needed to carefully and specifically understand her past.
In my own addiction experience, I had confidence issues, I didn't feel or couldn't accept love, and I didn't have a purpose.
She clearly had a purpose and she had confidence in herself too. She was a high level executive who traveled all around the country for work. If she didn't have confidence she would have been out of work on the couch binging more. So, she was strong. That wasn't the issue.
She definitely had a purpose too. You don't climb up the corporate ladder without a direction.
So I thought her challenge may be personal and likely connected to her ability to feel or accept love.
Now, I have to tell you, if you want to be a good personal trainer and you want to keep your clients, you can't start digging into their personal life on the first consult like a pushy psychologist. You need to build rapport and want to get to know someone to be able to let them come to insights about themselves they may not have realized.
I also have to say, it's important that they come to the conclusions – not have you tell them what you think about their lives. (That's a big mistake.)
So I got to know Sally. I got to understand her tendencies. Finally, I was able to build enough trust with her so that she would talk more openly about her past relationships.
There was one man that she still hadn't forgiven.
The relationship had rocked her so much that she didn't want to feel loved for fear of being hurt again.
I'm not a psychologist, but I can tell you this, her weight issues were directly related to this psychological trauma. (Or at least a large portion of them were.)
Imagine being alone every night in total fear that if you were with someone they would eventually hurt you or leave.
I'd eat popcorn too. Lots of it.
My relationship with Sally lasted no more than 6 months. In that time she managed to lose about 50 pounds, which was a great start, but she would lose and gain back weight when she traveled for work. It was frustrating for both of us and she began to feel guilty about it.
Eventually, she just wouldn't return my calls or emails about scheduling her next sessions.
That was the last I talked to Sally.
Sometimes, it's not someone's time. (Sometimes, you're just not the right teacher.)
In our time, Sally had taught me a very important lesson. Losing weight is not about fitness. It was about finding out what secrets you keep and changing your emotional reaction to them.
She couldn't overcome her food addiction during our time together because she wasn't willing to deal with her own emotional block to love.
Let me tell you about a success, too.
Another client, who we've become friends with, came out to dinner with us at Bloodroot (my 2nd favorite vegan restaurant) over the holidays.
She's a success.
She's lost almost 90 pounds and kept it off for over 2 years now.
Over the last year, things weren't so hot for her. She changed jobs, she needed to move and she broke up with someone who she had a long term relationship with.
If it weren't for her ability to be emotionally strong, she would have gained the weight back.
The reason I knew this, is because she told Annmarie and I.
She said that if she had not learned from us and her other teachers how to cope emotionally over the past 5 years, she would have shot right back up to the weight she was before we started working with her. She knew this because it had happened over and over again in her life.
This time around it was different.
She had harnessed her emotions and in turn harnessed her food addiction.
She had learned to accept her emotional shortcomings and hurt to do what was best for her – something Sally wasn't able to do.
Both these client stories have different outcomes, but you may find that there's a little truth in both of them for you.
The good news is that you can overcome your food addiction too, as long as you can identify your own secrets and emotional blockages.
I want to now share with you a few other secrets that can literally make you addicted to food, so you can look critically at your own situation. Some of these might get a little deep, so if you're addicted to food or anything else, please be open to listening. It's the first step to getting better.
1. A bad relationship.
Some people I've worked with don't like their spouses or their significant others any more.
As a trainer, it was not my job to tell someone to get a divorce or break up with a boyfriend or girlfriend – but sometimes this may be the best thing for a client's health.
If you're not clicking with your significant other and you're not healthy, it's time to face the facts and have an open communication with them.
Tell them how you feel (don't blame them) about the situation with the intention of working it out.
Come up with a plan and give it a good try. Get counseling.
Do your best to make it work. If it does, you'll not only lose weight, but you'll likely come to terms with your food addiction as well.
If it doesn't, do what you need to do and, again, you'll likely lose weight and get healthy just by clearing that toxic energy.
What someone who is in a bad relationship needs to learn is that it won't get any better unless you make it better. If you wait around for better days, you're going to become deeply addicted to the behaviors that take you away from the situation – and remember these behaviors can range from food addiction to Facebook addiction to alcohol and drugs.
2. A job you don't like.
If you don't like your job, your chances of being addicted to something increase.
I haven't looked for a study that states this, but my personal experience tells me this is completely true.
I've worked with clients who ran multimillion dollar businesses who were fat and unhappy.
The reason why they were not healthy is because they didn't like what they did. One client inherited the family business. She would have been much happier working as a teacher, not a car dealership.
Another was a wife who just didn't want to work in her husband's business.
The emotional strain put on you by a job you don't like can cause addictive behavior, so it's best to get out soon if you really want to keep your health for the long term.
3. A deeper secret.
The reason the concept of this article came to me was because of one example I saw on the premier episode of "Addicted to Food."
In the episode, a woman named Dejuaii (pronounced deh-WHY-uh) confesses a secret that she's been holding for over 30 years.
For this entire time, she knew that she was gay, but hadn't told her very religious family.
It makes sense. If your father was a pastor in the catholic church (a church that doesn't necessarily welcome homosexuality) and a leader in the community wouldn't it be easier just to keep this secret to yourself?
For Dejuaii, that's what she figured too.
Unfortunately, over time her decision literally wrecked her health and caused her to reach out to food to suppress her secret.
When I think of this happening, I visually picture the secret coming up her esophagus and then her eating food to stuff it down and stop it from coming out.
The faster it threatens to come out, the more food goes in. So when she's emotionally worn down, she eats more to make sure that she doesn't crack and blurt out her truth to the world.
It's a distraction tactic of sorts – that works – but only to your own detriment.
If you have a secret like this, how good would it feel to finally let it out?
If you do, no matter how negative the repercussions may be, the end result will be in your best interest – emotionally and physically.
So let me ask you…
Do you know about an affair your spouse had, that you haven't come to terms with? Are you gay and have been pretending you're not? Do you have a disease that you haven't told anyone about? Are you withholding something from your past that would free you if the world knew about it?
Answer these questions honestly, share your truth with others and feel yourself lighten – figuratively and literally.
4. A personal or family trauma.
The last aspect I want to address is family or physical trauma.
Your past traumas play an important role in your health and your physical appearance.
Children that are abused are much more likely to be addicted to food or substances.
Unexpected deaths can lead to abusive or addictive personalities as well.
I lost my father when I was 2 years old which put a huge strain on my mother who was pregnant with my brother at the time. I can't say directly that this caused my addictions, but I can say that it made life harder for our family. Hard times can lead members of a family to look for outlets for satisfaction – drugs, alcohol and food are some of them.
So your family and personal traumas can affect your health, but what do you do to change your behavior?
Again, you have to be honest about everything. You need to tell someone (maybe a close friend or a coach or psychologist.)
When you release the blockage you also release the energy that begs for more of the addictive substance.
Imagine filling a sink with water but the drain is blocked with a terrible secret. The water level will rise and rise until eventually it spills over and they're a mess on the floor. If the water isn't released, the floors will be ruined, there will be warped boards and mold will grow.
If you pull the block out of the drain, the water flows through and the damage is averted.
If you remove your own block the energy (and weight) doesn't build up any more.
(I was going to use an analogy of a block in your rear while you keep eating, but I think the water one is more PC. LOL! But you can imagine this too…)
The overriding message here is this…
Get your stuff out on the table – no matter what it is – big or small.
I've always done this – since I've overcome my addictions – because I know how much better it was for me mentally and physically.
When I started to eat some dairy and some eggs, I knew that it wasn't in my best business interest to tell our vegan readers that I had changed.
But what I did know is that it was in the best interest of my own personal physical and emotional health. To keep secrets in is to block energy from releasing.
This energy can manifest as many things. For some it's food addiction or substances, for others it's binging and purging – no matter what the issue is, none of the manifestations are good for your health.
Tomorrow, I'm going to talk about food addiction in the raw food and healthy communities because there are a lot of health leaders and health devotes who show signs of food addiction and they may not even know it.
I want to know your thoughts: Do you know of any other possible secrets that we can hold that will affect our health?
Live Awesome!

Great article.
Thank you for another insightful article! These are all issues I need to address if I plan to reach my health goals. Thank you Kevin!!
Great article, Kevin — I think you got the top secrets. One of the deeper secrets is sometimes the addiction itself (any addiction). Hiding that from a spouse or loved ones can cause shame…I think it makes people feel like a fraud.
This is a good dialog — especially things like relationships and jobs that aren't right for us. Many people don't realize how much damage this does and I'm glad you put it out there!
By the way, it sounds like you were a fantastic personal trainer — offering way more than personal training…sounds like you were also a health/life coach.
this is great, I think when you are working with clients you might want to consider getting them to do trauma releasing techniques, like holosync for example
I've learned that the worst secrets are the ones you keep from yourself. It seems like the healthier I become, the more able I am to face my secrets and compulsions. I noticed that when I was nervous, afraid or upset, my first impulse was to eat, and eat FAST. Then I'd go run 3 miles. Weird! Noticing what I was doing, helped me to stop it. From there I traced these emotions back in time. For me, it's a process of learning to love and accept love. So much fear involved with something that should be so easy.
I'm one of your readers who is normally silent.
About your comments dealing with Catholics. First of all, priests don't get married and have kids. They may have been married before they became priests, but their wife would have died first. Men can become deacons if they are married, but if their wife dies, they do not remarry.
Second, Catholics don't shun people who are homosexual, we believe God loves them, but does not like when they act upon their urges. There is help for them and many cases of people working out their pasts. It is clearly stated in the Bible that God does not like it; remember, he destroyed Sadom and Gamorrah because of it.
THANKYOU! This was beautifully written and so true. It is amazing how you can address so many things so elegantly and be there for all of us readers! we love youuu guys!
Of all your articles, these are the ones that affect me most. I am addicted to sweets, but do try to tone it down! But I am 40 pounds overweight, and at my age (63), it is very hard to lose. I feel I know why I have that addiction, but need to figure out a way to get above it.
I am also usually a silent reader!
Wow..how insightful …..thank you thank you thank you!!
Wow great article. I am overweight and have been since my youngest son was born. I think there are a lot of hormonal reasons for my weight gain but also the emotional one of not actually wanting him has caused me a lot of pain. I was separated from his dad and we divorced when my son was three months old. Throughout the first 5 months of pregnancy I was longing for a miscarriage. My cousin was pregnant with her first child at the same time she was having her first and I was having my last. Her baby died in utero shortly before he was due to be born. I felt so guilty for wishing my bay to not be there and then she lost hers that she was so longing for. I had three healthy easy pregnancies and she had one and lost him. Thank you for this article and for allowing me to share my secret.
I didn't know Kevin had addictions, but I am glad he overcame them and is healthy now.
I have an addiction to sweets. At least I replaced processed sweets with raw chocolate treats and raw ice creams, as well as home made non-dairy yogurt with fruit. I am not a raw foodist, but have trouble with grains, and have food that raw food desserts agree with me. I still have to cut down, though, and increase the veggies in my diet.
Oddly enough some people think I have an eating disorder because I do not eat processed or chemical laden foods, and eat organic as much as possible (I am hypothyroid, and very sensitive to chemicals). Since when is avoiding health-robbing carcinogens an eating disorder?
From another usually silent reader…
Thank you!
This is sooooo true! My husband took his life in 2009. My way of dealing was eating unhealthy food – and lots of it – chips, burgers, cookies. Prior to that I was almost 100% raw. I ate, actually consciously knowing I was stuffing down emotions. And the more unhealthy food I ate, the worse I felt . . . and it went on and on. In the last few months, I have taken my life back. I am facing my tragic loss and dealing with what has been left behind. I left a job that wasn't working for me. I am feeling better about myself, eating healthy again, and finding joy in my life. Thank you for posting this wonderful article. Much love.
I once read an interesting article about how hiding debt from spouses or family was related to being overweight…
very interesting!
thanks you Kevin for this, it made me cry, to know that someone actually cares. When I tell my friends I have a food addiction I don't think it matters. One time they asked if I wanted to go out and have lunch, and then she said, 'you don't have to eat, you can just have a tea'!!! That is like telling an alcoholic, we are going to the bar but you don't have to drink, you can just have some water! I don't have lots of close friends. Thanks again for listening!
Great article!
Food addiction. A co-worker & I had this discussion yesterday at work. We work in a very difficult position & get bit around the ankles as well as having shit roll down the hill onto us, metaphorically speaking.
We ask people to slow down when they do not want to & we ask people to interact with others when they do not want to. All in all both of us have been eating because of the stress we are feeling from the working environment. SO I have pulled out my juicing books & raw food suggested conversion diet plans to get back on track.
I must confess that I had an accident & since then have not been able to take the weight off & gradually continue to put it back on. I was doing really well with the raw food diet & had lost 60 pounds. I consider myself a strong person but the stress of trying to heal, take care of the finances & work in a hostile environment has proved to be more than challenging.
I have felt broken with nothing to offer so even dating is out of the game for me. I breathe deeply meditate, do yoga & stretching therapies but my energy has been very low. I have tried to stay away from refined sugar & eat whole raw foods.
I feel for all of those individuals who suffer through so much in abusive relationships. I've been looking for another company to work at where I regard the culture to be healthy. That is hard to find.
Secrets well even though we have to work with angry people we have to hold ourselves to higher standards. That is a big secret so there you go. I am not allowed to complain or vent just be happy & balanced in a unbalanced angry stressful environment. I continue to look for another career area to work in where I can support myself & not my food addiction.
I have started a food journal also & back up plans…it is hard. People are not inherently nice like I once thought.
Love, Light & Peace,
Would it not be orgasmic to be a breatharian and not have to think about food anymore? That would be amazing. My goal in the next 10 years lol!
I found small changes have helped –
eating live digestive enzymes SPROUTS – like alfalfa, broccoli and bean SPROUTS do wonders for energy, slice up an avocado, and sprinkled with himalayan salt, if you ate this everyday for lunch you would feel amazing. Full of natural energy, no bloating, easy digestion and no cravings.
Drinking coconut water with aloe vera gel – called "TASTE NIRVANA" in a glass jar all natural ingredients better than juice or pop. Way less sugar and calories..Super delicious… very nutritious and healthy.
I found that eating pineapple chunks or papaya are so delicious and better than chocolate
if you want to eat chocolate the best is to get it in the bulk section at your health food store and select the dark organic m&m chocolate – small pieces of chocolate with cane sugar instead of processed sugar are better than a whole chocolate bar right? dark chocolate is healthier and even better than milk chocolate
for chips, it is called popchips – natural flavored real potatoes, not fried NOT baked, it is lightly heated real potato that pops like popcorn and it is better than a greasy potato chip. Even more delicious than popcorn. Yes it is food in a bag, but not overheated and if you crave chips trust me these will fix your cravings..
Sometimes our cravings overtake us and there are awesome substitutes that can even be healthy for you! Good idea to have a few stashed for those just in case craving moments.
Keep doing what you do Kevin, keepin' it real, sharing from the heart, no pride, no shame. Is awesome. Become the fearless health warrior. We do appreciate your sincerity, your life lessons, and also Anne Marie.
Thank you Kevin for all the great articles and videos. You and Annmarie are such an inspiration. I'm addicted to sweets and feel so guilty about it. I can't seem to have a meal without finishing with a dessert and sometimes two. I don't have any unhealthy sweets in the house but my husband and I eat out a lot and there always seems to be something I just can't say no to even though I know all the problems with processed sugar. I'm 60 years old, very healthy, as far as I know, exercise regularly and I'm not overweight. How do I break this bad habit?
I know quite a few people who use food to hide their pain. Its really a sad thing. I suppose we all overcompensate in one way or another to keep ourselves distracted. Some of us just choose healthier ways of doing it. I used to drink. Now, I'm a workaholic, and I'm spastic about keeping the house clean. I always have to be doing something. The upside is that I can eat all I want 🙂
Dealing with pain is a really complex issue, especially these days when so many people are staggering from life's blows. The best we can do is love ourselves enough to take care of ourselves the best we can.
Thank you a million for this amazingly insightful article.
I can call myself a "spiritual seeker" since I am 12 years old and have tried any transformational work there is out there.
When I met the man I am still dating, I was radiant , mostly raw ( kinda like you and Annmarie) , loving my life and my cut and lean body.
He had a skin issue since he was very young ( some form of neurodermitis or something like that) and suffered from it severely. +heavy sweating, thyroid issues, yeast overgrowth etc.
It was not a big deal I thought as I know ,having studied alternative medicine for 15 years, everything is reversable.
I bought him everything he needed ,educated him , potioned the itching spots. He had suffered from the itching most his life.
We dated long distance for almost 3 years till now. When he first started the protocol his skin looked amazing and all the other issues disappeared .
Would you think he stayed with it? No. And until reading your enlightening article I had not realized that my beautiful , slim model body is burried in about 10 pounds of excess sadness and frustration.
We even had fights over it as my own immune system which was rock solid started to break and adapt some of his issues.
My intake of gluten free brownies and cheese increased over the last year.
He is not interested in evolving in lightning speed and I have to let go of expecting anything but just looking at my own backyard.
It just doesn't fit anymore with us and I didn't have the courage to face it.
I'm a holistic health educator, and one of my former jobs was colonic hydrotherapist. While giving thousands of colonics, I had a revelation. This came about because of giving series of colonics to multiple clients. Here's my revelation: We take our deepest, darkest, most painful, most shameful secrets and HIDE them in the colon. Why? Think of the physiology of the large intestine: there's always some place to hide. After all, if I tell you to stick it where the sun don't shine, just WHERE am I telling you to stick it? Where no light ever gets in!
I always asked my clients, particularly when I'd gotten to know them, how they were feeling. After the 10th or 12th colonic, very often they'd say, I feel terrific–but I've been thinking about my grandmother, and she died when I was three. Or, I feel better than I have in years, but I dreamt about my first dog, who got hit by a car when I was a child.
They had buried these traumas where they'd never see the light of day. Once their colons were truly clean, and the recirculated water in their bodies was clean (water holds memory), the emotions associated with the repressed traumas surfaced, and they were in much better shape to deal with them.
I work these days as an iridologist (I have 12 different certifications after three years of school and 40+ years of independent study), and it is very intimate. When I'm helping someone deal with long-term unhealthy habits, I often ask them to bring their spouse or significant other with them, because family support is so important!
Health and peace, everyone.
I feel that when it comes time to make the decision between the quinoa salad or McDonalds…I ask myself…Does anyone really care? I know I don't care enough. I think this is the secret that keeps me from breaking this addiction.
once, a health terapist told me he could not help me lose weight, because my fat was like a big wall protecting me against external agressions, and leaving me without fat , would make me feel defenseless….
your article confirms this
i am working at a solution…
Food addiction is a great subject for you to address. It is huge. There are soooo many facets to it.
I help people lose weight (among other things) and I ALWAYS address the emotional reasons they have for being over weight. Sometimes over weight people do not over eat, they have an emotional reason for being over weight so the body accommodates them by lowering their metabolism. Again, there are many, many, many reasons for being over weight. Of course, if you have a food addiction that does not automatically mean you are over weight either. BIG subject. Thank you for opening the can of worms. Bravo!
great article,it help me get clear some things that I do not allow myself to confess and I search all around chocolates,linolada,sweets.
Thank you for sharing and it is true, you can only become better you by doing honest things and not doing what can make you be in trouble.
All best,
Wow…I don't usually comment, or even click on the email newletter to read the rest of the article, but I'm glad that I did today! Thanks for the insights, but watch what you say about psychologists-the good ones are not pushy!
Dear Kevin,
Thank you for your wonderful article. It is difficult to understand someone´s trauma if you do not suffer it yourself. I have several health issues but probably the worst is being old. Actually, as Oscar Wilde wrote "the problem is not being old, the problem is to have been young". The trauma of being old is as serious as any other, but younger people do not appreciate that. And, at least in my case, the problem is more psycological than physical. I do not know why people do not realize that we are also a discriminated minority, prone to overeating and/or to exceed alcohol or drug consumption as an alternative to face reality.
One of your best article Kevin! Good job! Thank you!
You are amazing!! So much food for thought. I don't have any obvious food addictions but I do struggle with self-worth, purpose, etc. Ten yrs ago I started body-building and saw great results. I am now 61 and had slowly gained about 10 lbs over the past year or two. Just did a cleanse – using 2 whey shakes a day and lots of veggies. I've dropped the extra pounds and am psyched to get back to some serious exercise. My goal is health and fitness but I do wonder if I am addicted to getting great results. I have a lot of self control when it comes to food. If it isn't healthy, then I generally won't eat it. Maybe I am too rigid, but then I don't want to eat stuff that will make me sick. No easy answers, I guess. Love your site!!
OK, another comment from a previously silent reader! Thank you, Kevin, for posting this article now. As far as secrets, in addition to the ones you and readers mentioned, I believe the current economic woes are affecting more people than we can imagine. I speak for myself and the secret of financial crisis we are keeping from family and friends. I know a lot of people are hanging on by a thread trying to maintain a lifestyle for themselves and their families. Talk about pressure!!
The silver lining – almost no processed, junk food – too expensive!!
Great article Kevin. You are so right about this issue. I have been a personal trainer, and nutritional counselor for 14 years. And, I know exactly where you are coming from.
Great job again, keep it up.
I think another reason many people struggle with addictions is they are not following their true path and purpose. I have certainly done this. It is scary to step into ones own power and do what they came to this planet to do. We all have a purpose. But often times most of us are raised to feel not good enough, worthy enough, smart enough. These are issues I have delt with too. But it is the most liberating feeling to move past those issues and find your authentic power. Suddenly you realize the additions are gone.
Your article hits the mark, Kevin. I am a Certified Healing Codes Coach and its just those issues you mentioned for which that I develop a technique that is targeted for the very feeling that hold the person back. Sometimes a person needs a little help to release the charge on the past. Thanks for your clear description of the problem.
Thanks for the example of how our thoughts determine our function in life and how that determines the different structures of our games, activities and our bodies.It comes down to our considerations and what we chose to believe is true, so if we can take our confusions apart and unburden our minds we may discover our basic considerations,postulates or thoughts that started it off to begin with and by doing this we can change our minds.It seems to take two beings to illuminate a problem and discharge it because this is a two terminal universe and emotional charge acts similar to electricity. You might say we are somewhat like Electric Eels at times and grateful for another one to communicate with.
Thanks Kevin and Annemarie, you're really helpful beings.
Excellent, deep article Kevin….
wow so much to say but yet I can't find the right words. That doesn't happen often, me…lacking for words! hmmmm hopefully this comes out right—sexual secrets can affect health, eating habits…and not in the sense that most may think but if a person wants to be sure that someone is with them for reasons other than sexual/physical they may develop eating habits (bingeing/overeating/etc) and intentionally gain weight in order to determine if the people in their life are there genuinely or because of lustful reasons.
[…] [This is Part 3 of a 5 part Addicted to Food Series that was inspired by the Oprah Winfrey Network show "Addicted to Food." Here's part 1 and part 2.] […]
Our brain is the cause of addictions. Something (food, drugs, sex) stimulates the brain to release feel-good chemicals and that drives us to seek out that something over and over again to get the same effect. When deprived of it we are cranky and moody, possibly feel ill, until we get the something again and restart the cycle. Happy people can get addicted just as unhappy people can. We always try to find childhood traumas or unhappy situations to blame, and there certainly are factors that can contribute to someone beginning to take drugs, drink alcohol, or eat junk food to deal with stress or painful memories. But someone might do that at a happy celebration and end up addicted as well. Imagine the confusion and frustration of someone being told that they need to deal with the cause of their addiction if they hope to overcome it, and they are at a loss because there isn't a great trauma to reveal. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Thoughtfully penned, Kevin. Very helpful!
I'm so greatful, you shared that content and your experience, Kevin!
Many times I tried to cry and I just couldn't. I know, I've blocked my emotions in ilusion to protect myself. And today after reading about "Sally" and reading that sentence: "Imagine being alone every night in total fear that if you were with someone they would eventually hurt you or leave." I fanially let go and cried with a relieve and pain in my heart. It touched me so deeply…
I had a great childhood, nourished by love from my parents. When I was growing up, things started to change, however and I experienced bullying at school. I started to shut down emotionally and spending my time isolating from others. I felt unloved and lonely.
And that's when my eating problems began. It became a tool to fill up the emptiness within me, at least I thought so.
It wasn't long until, I started to put on weight. And so apart from emptiness and feeling unloved and lonely, now it was quilt as well. And anger, anger towards myself, for not being the way I wanted myself to be.
I would spend days eating and then going to gym wondering, if it prevents me from getting fat.
I fninshed studying and left to another coutry, still looking for solutions and answers. I was reading,looking for answer everywhere I could. I read self-help books, I learned about nutrition, exercise(also became a personal trainer), anything that could make me feel good and help me find solutions. Still thiriving for perfection and balance in life.
To make long story short.
Over that years, I've developed bulimia, was experiencing anxiety, mild depression, helplessnes and luck of enthusiasm, negativity. I hated myself for what I was doing to my body. I knew there must be a way. And there truly was!
Exercise and nutrition helped me to get a bit of balance and to stabilize myself. I've stopped making myself sick. And I learned to be positive and appreciate little things in my life. I became very enthusiastic about living and life in general. I have come a very long way… !
As I realized I still hold onto some resentment, negative feelings from those times, when life didn't seem as pretty and beautiful as today.
I've also notice, when it comes down to very close relationships, I don't let people in. The fear of being hurt is sooo big.
So It's time to let go of that baggage and feelings that I do no longer wish to be part of me….(together with those few extra pounds;)
I hope most of us can learn to let go and forgive, to feel safe and trust the process of life, which brings a beautiful peace. Trusting, it's all happening perfectly despite the circumstances.
Thank you!XM.
but even though I felt something is still not right. I would be happy, but something inside me didn't resonate. And then I realised I'm still not letting people in, I was experiencing joy, when I could help someone or listen to their problems, but when it went down to me. I didn't want to share, I was scared. And I'm still at a times. My weight is pretty much the same anytime, I go too close I realized there are things, blocakages i need to let go off.I realized there are certain , which I need to let go off
O.k. the last paragraph didn't meant to send:))
