1. Introduction
An LCHF diet means you eat fewer carbohydrates and a higher proportion of fat. Most importantly you minimize your intake of sugar and starches. You can eat other delicious foods until you are satisfied – and still lose weight.
A number of recent high-quality scientific studies shows that LCHF makes it easier both to lose weight and to control your blood sugar. And that's just the beginning.
The basics
- Eat: Meat, fish, eggs, vegetables growing above ground and natural fats (like butter).
- Avoid: Sugar and starchy foods (like bread, pasta, rice, beans and potatoes).
Eat when you're hungry until you are satisfied. It's that simple.
You do not need to count calories or weigh your food. And just forget about industrially produced low fat products.
There are solid scientific reasons why LCHF works. When you avoid sugar and starches your blood sugar stabilizes and the levels of insulin, the fat-storing hormone, drop. This increases fat burning and makes you feel more satiated.

3. What to Eat
Eat all you like
- Meat: Any type, including beef, pork, game meat, chicken, etc. Feel free to eat the fat on the meat as well as the skin on the chicken. If possible try to choose organic or grass fed meat.
- Fish and shellfish: All kinds: Fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel or herring are great. Avoid breading.
- Eggs: All kinds: Boiled, fried, omelettes, etc. Preferably organic eggs.
- Natural fat, high-fat sauces: Using butter and cream for cooking can make your food taste better and make you feel more satiated. Try a Béarnaise or Hollandaise sauce, check the ingredients or make it yourself. Coconut oil and olive oil are also good options.
- Vegetables that grow above ground: All kinds of cabbage, such as cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. Asparagus, zucchini, eggplant, olives, spinach, mushrooms, cucumber, lettuce, avocado, onions, peppers, tomatoes etc.
- Dairy products: Always select full-fat options like real butter, cream (40% fat), sour cream, Greek/Turkish yogurt and high-fat cheeses. Be careful with regular milk and skim milk as they contain a lot of milk sugar. Avoid flavored, sugary and low-fat products.
- Nuts: Great for a TV treat instead of candy (ideally in moderation).
- Berries: Okay in moderation, if you are not a super strict or sensitive. Great with whipped cream.
Read the nutrition label in the grocery store.
No more than 5% of carbohydrates for a food is a good rule of thumb.
Avoid if you can
- Sugar: The worst. Soft drinks, candy, juice, sports drinks, chocolate, cakes, buns, pastries, ice cream, breakfast cereals. Preferably avoid sweeteners as well.
- Starch: Bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, French fries, potato chips, porridge, muesli and so on. Wholegrain products are just less bad. Legumes, such as beans and lentils, are high in carbs. Moderate amounts of root vegetables may be OK (unless you're eating extremely low carb).
- Margarine: Industrially imitated butter with unnaturally high content of omega-6 fat. Has no health benefits, tastes bad. Statistically linked to asthma, allergies and other inflammatory diseases.
- Beer: Liquid bread. Full of rapidly absorbed carbs, unfortunately.
- Fruit: Very sweet, lots of sugar. Eat once in a while. Treat fruit as a natural form of candy.
Once in a while
You decide when the time is right. Your weight loss may slow down a bit.
- Alcohol: Dry wine (regular red or dry white wine), whisky, brandy, vodka and cocktails without sugar.
- Dark chocolate: Above 70% cocoa, preferably just a bit.
Drink on most days
- Water
- Coffee: Try it with full-fat cream
- Tea

5. How LCHF Works
What are you designed to eat?
Humans evolved over millions of years as hunter-gatherers, without eating large amounts of carbohydrates. We ate the food available to us in nature by hunting, fishing and gathering all the edible foods we could find. These foods did not include pure starch in the form of bread, pasta, rice or potatoes. We have only eaten these starchy foods for 5 – 10 000 years, since the development of agriculture. Only a limited adaptation of our genes takes place in such a relatively short time.
With the Industrial Revolution, 100 – 200 years ago, we got factories that could manufacture large amounts of pure sugar and white flour. Rapidly digested pure carbohydrates. We've hardly had time to genetically adapt to these processed foods.
In the 80s, the fear of fat gripped the western world. Low-fat products popped up everywhere. But if you eat less fat you need to eat more carbohydrates to feel satiated. And it's at this time in history that our disastrous epidemics of obesity and diabetes started. The most fat-phobic country in the world, the USA, was hit the hardest and is now the world's most obese country.
Today, it's clear that the fear of real food with natural fat contents has been a big mistake.
The problem with sugar and starch
All digestible carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars in the intestines. The sugar is then absorbed into the blood, raising the blood glucose levels. This increases the production of the hormone insulin, our fat storing hormone.
Insulin is produced in the pancreas. In large amounts it prevents fat burning and stores surplus nutrients in fat cells. After some time (a few hours or less) this may result in a perceived shortage of nutrients in the blood, creating feelings of hunger and cravings for something sweet. Usually at that point people eat again. This starts the process again: A vicious cycle leading to weight gain.
On the other hand, a low intake of carbs gives you a lower, more stable blood glucose, and lower amounts of insulin. This increases the release of fat from your fat stores and increases the fat burning. This usually leads to fat loss, especially around the belly in abdominally obese individuals.
Weight loss without hunger
An LCHF diet makes it easier for the body to use its fat reserves, as their release is no longer blocked by high insulin levels. This may be one reason why eating fat produces a feeling of longer-lasting satiety than carbohydrates. It's been shown in a number of studies: When people eat all they want on a low carb diet caloric intake typically drops.
So, no counting or food weighing is necessary. You can forget about the calories and trust your feelings of hunger and satiety. Most people don't need to count or weigh their food any more than they need to count their breathing. If you don´t believe it, just try for a couple of weeks and see for yourself.
Health as a bonus
No animals in nature need the assistance of nutritional expertise or calorie charts to eat. And still, as long as they eat the food they are designed to eat they stay at a normal weight and they avoid caries, diabetes and heart disease. Why would humans be an exception? Why would you be an exception?
In scientific studies not only is the weight improved on a low carb diet – the blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol profile (HDL, triglycerides) are also improved. A calm stomach and less cravings for sweet food are also common experiences.
Initial side effects
If you stop eating sugar and starch cold turkey (recommended) you may experience some side effects as your body adjusts. For most people these side effects tend to be mild and last a just few days. There are also ways to minimize them.
Common side effects in the first week:
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Heart palpitations
- Irritability
The side effects rapidly subside as your body adapts and your fat burning increases. They can be minimized by drinking more fluids and by temporarily increasing your salt intake a bit. A good option is to drink some broth every few hours. Alternatively, drink a few extra glasses of water and put extra salt on your food.
The reason for this is that carbohydrate-rich foods may increase the water retention in your body. When you stop eating high-carb foods you'll lose excess water through your kidneys. This can result in dehydration and a lack of salt during the first week, before the body has adapted.
Some people prefer to decrease their intake of carbohydrates slowly, over a few weeks, to minimize the side effects. But the "Nike way" (Just Do It) is probably the best choice for most people. Removing most sugar and starch often results in several pounds lost on the scale within a few days. It may be mostly fluids but it's great for the motivation.
Read more about possible side effects and how to cure them:
How low to go?
The less carbohydrate you eat the bigger the effects on weight and blood sugar will be. I recommend following the dietary advice as strict as you can. When you're happy with your weight and health you may gradually try eating more liberally (if you want to).

More theory and practice
Here four of the world's biggest experts on the subject explain the theory and practice of carb restriction:
6. Tips and recipes
Choose a topic below or keep reading for all of them.
Breakfast suggestions
- Eggs and bacon
- Omelet
- Leftovers from last night's dinner
- Coffee with cream
- A can of mackerel and boiled eggs
- Boiled egg with mayonnaise or butter
- Avocado, salmon and sour cream
- Sandwich on Oopsie-bread
- Cheese with butter
- Boiled eggs mashed with butter, chopped chives, salt and pepper
- A piece of brie cheese and some ham or salami
- High-fat yoghurt with nuts and seeds (and maybe berries)
Lunch and dinner
- Meat, fish or chicken dishes with vegetables and a rich full-fat sauce. There are many alternatives to potatoes, such as mashed cauliflower.
- Stews, soups or casseroles with low-carb ingredients.
- You can use most recipes in cookbooks if you avoid the carbohydrate-rich ingredients. It's often a good idea to add fat (e.g. butter, cream) to the recipe. Or get an LCHF cookbook.
- Drink water with your meal or (occasionally) a glass of wine.
On a low-carbohydrate diet with more fat and a bit more protein you will probably not need to eat as often. Don't be surprised if you no longer need to snack. Many people do well on two or three meals per day. If you need a snack:
- Rolled-up cheese or ham with a vegetable (some people even spread butter on cheese)
- Olives
- Nuts
- A piece of cheese
- A boiled egg from the refrigerator
- Canned mackerel in tomato sauce
- Babybel cheese
Olives and nuts may replace potato chips as great TV snacks. If you always get hungry between meals you're probably not eating enough fat. Don't fear fat. Eat more fat until you feel satisfied.
Dining out or meals with friends
- Restaurants: Usually not a big problem. You can ask to have potatoes/fries switched for a salad. Ask for extra butter.
- Fast food: Kebab can be a decent option (avoid the bread). At hamburger chains the hamburgers are usually the least bad option. Avoid soft drinks and fries, obviously. Drink water. Pizza toppings are usually OK, and the stricter you are the less of the pizza crust you will eat.
- If you eat strictly everyday it's less of a problem to make a few exceptions when you are invited out. If you're not sure what will be served you can eat something at home before you leave.
- Nuts or cheese are good "emergency food" when there are no other adequate options to be found.
Shopping list for beginners
Print this list and bring it to the grocery store:
- Butter
- Heavy cream (40% fat)
- Sour cream (full fat)
- Eggs
- Bacon
- Meat (minced, steaks, stew pieces, fillets, etc.)
- Fish (ideally fatty fish like salmon or mackerel)
- Cheese (preferably high-fat)
- Turkish yoghurt (10% fat)
- Cabbage (cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, etc.)
- Other vegetables that grow above ground
- Frozen vegetables (broccoli, wok vegetables, etc.)
- Avocados
- Olives
- Olive oil
- Nuts
Clean out your pantry
Want to maximize your chances of success? Especially if you have difficult cravings / sugar addiction, it is smart to throw out (or give away) sugary and starchy foods, low-fat products, etc. These include:
- Candy
- Potato chips
- Soft drinks and juices
- Margarine
- Sugar in all forms
- Bread
- Wheat flour
- Pasta
- Rice
- Potatoes
- Breakfast cereals
- Everything that says "low fat" or "no fat"
- Ice cream
- Cookies
The Serpent in Paradise
Be very skeptical of special "low-carb" products, such as pasta or chocolate. Unfortunately these products usually work poorly. They have prevented weight loss for loads of people. They're commonly full of carbs once you see through the creative marketing.
For example, Dreamfields' "low carb pasta" is almost pure starch, which is absorbed more or less like any pasta, albeit slowly:
- The Dreamfields Pasta Fraud
- The Dreamfields Pasta Fraud Finally Results in an 8 Million Dollar Fine!
How about low carb bread? Be careful: if it's baked with grains it's certainly not low carb. But some companies still try to sell it to you as a low-carb option. Here's an example:
Low-carb chocolate is usually full of sugar alcohols, which the manufacturer does not count as carbs. But roughly half of these carbs may be absorbed, raising blood sugar and insulin. The rest of the carbs ends up in the colon, potentially causing gas and diarrhea. Furthermore, any sweeteners can maintain sugar cravings.
If you want to be healthy and slim, eat real food instead.
Easy ways to cook eggs
- Place the eggs in cold water and boil for 4 minutes for soft-boiled or 8 minutes for hard-boiled. Enjoy them with mayo if you like.
- Fry eggs in butter on one or both sides. Add salt and pepper.
- Melt butter in a frying pan and add 2 eggs and 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream per serving. Add salt and pepper. Stir until done. Add some chives and grated cheese on top. Serve with fried bacon.
- Make an omelet batter with 3 eggs and 3 tablespoons of cream. Add salt and spices. Melt butter in the frying pan and pour in the batter. When the upper surface turns solid you can fill it with something tasty. For example one or several kinds of cheese, fried bacon, fried mushrooms, good sausage (read the ingredients) or left-overs from last night's dinner. Fold the omelet in half and serve with a crispy salad.
Instead of bread
Will you have a hard time living without bread? Ooopsies are a good option. It's a "bread" without carbs and can be eaten in a variety of ways.
6–8 depending on size.
3 eggs
100 grams (3.5 ounces) of cream cheese
a pinch of salt
½ tablespoon fiberhusk / psyllium seed husks (optional)
½ teaspoon baking powder (optional)
- Separate the eggs, with the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in another.
- Whip egg whites together with salt until very stiff. You should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving.
- Mix the egg yolks and the cream cheese well. If you want, add the psyllium seed husk and baking powder (this makes the Oopsie more bread-like).
- Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mix – try to keep the air in the egg whites.
- Put 6 large or 8 smaller oopsies on a baking tray.
- Bake in the middle of the oven at 150° C (300° F) for about 25 minutes – until they turn golden.
- You can have an Oopsie as a sandwich or use it as a bun for a hotdog or hamburger. You can also put different kinds of seeds on them before baking them, for instance poppy, sesame or sunflower seeds. One big Oopsie can be used to make a swiss roll: Add a generous layer of whipped cream and some berries. Enjoy.
Instead of potatoes, rice and pasta
- Mashed cauliflower: Divide the cauliflower into smaller pieces and boil them with a pinch of salt until soft. Remove the water. Add cream and butter and mash.
- Salads made from above-ground vegetables, perhaps with some kind of cheese. Try out different kinds.
- Boiled broccoli, cauliflower or Brussels sprouts.
- Vegetables au gratin: Fry squash, aubergine and fennel (or other vegetables you like) in butter. Add salt and pepper. Put in baking dish and add grated cheese. Bake at 225° C (450° F) until the cheese melts and turns golden.
- Vegetables stewed in cream, e.g. cabbage or spinach.
- Cauliflower rice: Grate cauliflower, boil for a minute or two. Great substitute for rice.
- Avocado
Snacks and dessert
- Mixed nuts
- Sausage: Cut it in pieces, add a piece of cheese and stick a toothpick through them.
- Vegetables with dip, Try cucumber sticks, red, yellow or green peppers, cauliflower, etc.
- Cream cheese rolls: Roll some cream cheese in a piece of salami, air-dried ham or a long slice of cucumber.
- Olives
- LCHF chips: On a baking tray, form small piles of grated Parmesan cheese. Heat in oven at 225°C (450°F). Let them melt and get a nice color (be careful – they burn easily). Serve as chips, perhaps with some dip.

heck might as well post up some fab pics i did tonight. The class minimum is 2500lbs. My car weighed in at 2535 so i decided to move some weight around. I took out the sunroof and cut up and old carbon fiber hood and made a carbon sunroof plug as well as took some misc stuff out of the rear of the car i/e old seatbelt brackets and what not. Took out around 50ish lbs.
So then i built this weight bar up front that is made out of 2 1/4'' stainless tubing that i melted down lead and filled it with. Which ended up weighing around 70lbs but now its over/in front of the front tires so should help with traction.

Man that really sucks, I am sorry to hear about the new paperweight addition.
It is nice that you got it running and put at least another pass on it however...especially since you still need to dial it in.Precision is only as important as the project...if you're building a rocket ship...1/64" would matter. If you're building a sledgehammer...an 1/8" probably wont.

FLORIDA -- I contacted Ashley Furniture, only after 2 weeks they replied and wanted receipts, existing numbers on the tags etc., I faxed in to their office. I have never heard back from Ashley Furniture. Three years old and it's junk, my wife and I are on a fixed income and this doesn't help. Sitting on the couch leaves particles on your clothes falling from the effective areas. I am campaigning against Ashley here in Fort Myers, please don't waste your money on this "Crap".
We purchased a matching Ashley Furniture Sofa and Loveseat at the end of 2003 for our new home. We have this furniture in our living room and use the furniture every day. The set is Hunter Green in color and both the loveseat and sofa have buttons on the side whereas the seat becomes a recliner when button is pushed. There are two on each piece. The back reclines and a footrest pops out. They are extremely comfortable and we use the recliner feature daily.
What impressed me most is that all of the recliners still work every time, even after 10 years of daily use. Also, both of the pieces look just like they did the day they were delivered. There are no stains, rips, tears or blemishes anywhere in the fabric of the furniture. This is an unsolicited review from the owners of the furniture in Sarasota, FL.
PEORIA, ILLINOIS -- I placed my order 11/13/12. Prior to placing the order, I had made it very clear to the salesman that I needed the furniture quickly and was assured that would be no problem. However, after placing my order and signing the paperwork, I was informed the delivery date would not be until 12/18/12, with the reason given the holidays as the culprit. Although disappointed, I did agree to this delivery date after being assured by the salesman I would have my furniture by Christmas.
Delivery date arrived, passed and no phone call was received. I called the store 12/21 and was informed the salesman who I had dealt with was no longer at the store. Stated he had been "let go" due to false promises. Was informed my order had been delayed until 12/28 and that someone should have called me in regards to this. This person was very apologetic, said will speak with the manager and have someone follow up.
I did receive a phone call on 12/22 and was told after some phone calls were made, my loveseat could be delivered on the truck scheduled for 1/1/13 but my chair had been delayed again to 1/7/13. Was asked if I wanted my loveseat delivered when it came in on the 1st and I asked if I would have to pay another delivery fee. A manager was consulted and I was then told since there was such a long wait for my ordered furniture and because of the poor customer service by the original salesman, there would not be another delivery charge.
I requested for my loveseat to be delivered when it arrived on the truck around the 1st and I was told I would receive a phone call the moment it arrived. Of course, no phone call was received around the 1st or on the 7th. I called the Peoria store the evening of the 7th, and inquired about my order. First I was told the order was delayed until the 14th. I asked why I was not called regarding the delay. I was placed on hold, then was informed the chair had arrived but the loveseat was delayed until the 14th, and when it arrived, I would be called to make arrangements for delivery.
I then reminded the individual about the 12/22 verbal agreement regarding the separate deliveries with no extra charge. She expressed no knowledge of this and stated would have the manager call and discuss with me first thing 1/8/13. It is now 9:45 pm and no phone call was received. Surprise, surprise.
AUSTIN, TEXAS -- In 01/2008, we purchased (from an outside retailer)an Ashley Furniture brand sleeper sofa, dual reclining loveseat with console, and a wedge (to make a sectional). All is great with the sofa and wedge, however, after having this furniture for just a month we had to have the loveseat replaced. The reclining release is a metal lever with rubber from the top to about halfway down it that is between the arm and the cushion. When no one is sitting in it, the rubber is down far enough but when someone sits down, the cushion of course goes lower and this exposes bare metal to the fabric.
I reclined my seat one night and heard a ripping sound. I stuck my hand between the cushion and the arm where the lever is and the fabric on the side of the cushion had been ripped, totally exposing the stuff the cushion itself is made of. My husband checked his side and his had done the same thing. We called the retailer, they came that nite and picked the piece up, contacted the local Ashley representative and after a week and a half told me that they were going to replace the entire piece rather than just try to repair it. OK, cool deal, no problem.
About a week later we received the new piece. Again, all was going well until about a month to 6 weeks later my husband called me while I was on my way home from work and said that his side had ripped, yet again. About a week later, my side did the same thing. We again called our local retailer, they asked me to contact Ashley directly, so I did and was told this is the only complaint they have had since they switched to this new reclining release design and that they would forward the info to our local Ashley rep (this was on 04/11/2008).
Two days ago (05/20/2008) I was finally informed by the Ashley rep that we are the only people that have reported this issue. Now, they said that they have sold several hundred of the same piece that we have and also that there are at least seven different pieces that use this same design.
I was also told by the guy at our retailer's store that our rep had looked at his numbers and that just in his small service area, he had shipped roughly 750 pieces in the last year or so (not exactly sure on the time frame) with that same release and has had no complaints. My retailer is telling me that I can either select new furniture from his store and return what we have now or that the Ashley rep said that he could issue him a $200 (cash)credit which he could in turn give to me and we keep the current furniture "as is". Either way, I feel like we are getting fairly compensated but it's still frustrating having to deal with these things in the midst of the daily chores of life...
Now, I wrote all of this to let you know that if you have Ashley brand furniture with this kind of reclining release YOU NEED TO SEE IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO YOUR FURNITURE AS WELL!! If this is happening, please please please call Ashley Furniture and let them know so they will change the design so this does not continue to happen to other people because they, of course, cannot change the design based on a single complaint. I don't know about you, but when I pay good money for something, I don't think I should be having ANY problems with it after just a month.
KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA -- We purchased a reclining DuraBlend sofa and loveseat from Ashley Furniture in Dec 2011. We were also told that the DuraBlend is more durable than leather. We purchased the warranty for good measure, $1700 total, because we wanted the security. We don't have young children and don't allow the dog on the furniture, so we thought we were investing in good furniture that would last us.
Around April/May 2014 (over 2 years) we noticed a cracking in the fabric. On the arms and the back of the seats. Then a few months later a bubbling in the DuraBlend. I called the store and they said they only have a year warranty. I read the warranty on the Guardsman policy and the bubbling was not covered and they denied the claim I submitted. Shortly after the bubbling turned into tears and the tissue paper like fabric that is "tougher than leather" is the worst, thinnest, saddest excuse for furniture fabric I have ever seen.
I have purchased furniture from, Kanes, Rooms to Go, Flea Markets and even Mattress Barn, and it has held up so much better than this VERY expensive furniture from Ashley. I have to put furniture covers on my furniture. I'm so embarrassed of my furniture. It's disgusting that they sell this and make no apologies for the horrible furniture that people spend their hard earned money purchasing. I will NEVER buy from Ashley again.
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- I bought a sofa and loveseat from an Ashley local store in Houston, TX. They looked very good in the store. The salesperson and her lady manager insisted we pay extra for the extended warranty and they promised to refund the whole price of the warranty if we do not use it.
After few weeks the seats started to sink and the springs, actually the whole structure started to bend inwards, it seems to suck in the person setting on them as if they are shorter. Anyway, it was within the warranty so we called it in but they said that is not covered under the warranty. We explained that the whole structure of the sofa and the loveseat are collapsing but they insisted. We explained that the springs may have become loose and again they said it is not covered. What is covered then?
They referred us to the web page for their coverage that is many, many pages long of exception to coverage. We tried complaining, but no one cared to even return our calls. Unbelievably they keep sending us mailers and emails to come back and buy new stuff. Have they no shame?
STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK -- I purchased the Commando Black Sofa & Loveseat September 2011, by December the vinyl was peeling away from the fabric and the cushions were sinking. I contacted Ashley about the problem. Since I have never seen something like this before, I felt they should have checked it for manufacturing defects and substandard fabric. Their response to me was they has nothing to do with the warranty of the furniture, and the store I purchased it from said the fabric wasn't under warranty (I guess that because they know it garbage). Now I'm out of $1000 dollars.
We purchased a leather couch and loveseat from Ashley's, which was quite expensive, and thought we had quality furniture. Within four months, the color was rubbed off the back of the loveseat. We also had another problem prior to that, and the technician was sent to correct that problem. In order to get the original set replaced, we were required to buy a more expensive couch and loveseat since the original style had been discontinued. We also had to add more toward the extended warranty on the leather.
Everything was okay for the first month, then we noticed a slight scrape, or maybe a defect in the leather. A representative at Ashley's Customer Service informed me that since the furniture had been delivered more than 48 hours ago, that the problem was not covered by their warranty, and that unless I knew how it happened, the extended warranty would not cover the damage either. This is a total ripoff by Ashley that they will not honor any type warranty. Never again will I purchase an item from Ashley.
FAIRFIELD, NEW JERSEY -- I went into Ashley's Furniture on Rt. 46 New Jersey to buy a couch, loveseat, and tables. I found the ones that I liked. I spoke to the salesman (who was wonderful) about purchasing the selected items and that I had seen them in another furniture store for a cheaper price. He said that they would match and beat the price by 10% if I should proof of the other stores' prices.
So I went to the other store and asked them to write it up for me. The owner at the other store wrote it up on the back of his business card - he wrote the model number and price. I took that card to Ashley Furniture detailing the prices and items. Do you think that I got that "Beat Your Price and discount 10% deal? NO! I was there one hour and forty minutes with salesperson. The salesperson was great but it was the manager who was not interested in making a deal! In today's market, wouldn't you want to make a deal/sale for your store? The manager has to approve the transactions and she was by no way friendly or helpful in making a transaction happen.
So for anyone looking to get that 10% deal - good luck because it is a lot harder than they make it seem! Make sure you have everything itemized by picture, color, size, shape, and anything else you can think of. They will find something to not give you that 10% off!
MONROE, LOUISIANA -- I have never been an Owner, or an Employee of Ashley Home Furniture; but I can tell you as a consumer that the Powertime - Sage Single Motor Loveseat that I bought from the store in Monroe, Louisiana just two months ago is the worst furniture purchase I have ever made! Over $1000.00 by the time, we got it home!!!
First problem we had was in the delivery of the loveseat. We asked the saleswoman at the time of purchase if the loveseat could be taken apart to fit through the door of a travel trailer. (The 40 ft trailer is where we are staying while my husband works in the area.) She assured us it could be taken apart, delivered, and put back together. We paid for the loveseat and extra for the delivery.
The Saturday delivery date came around and what happens? You guess it; the delivery people who show up with the loveseat do not know how to take it apart to bring it in. (Meanwhile my husband has already taken the old loveseat out of the trailer, so we have NO loveseat to set on!) My husband calls to complain and gets nothing out of the manager, and he adds further to our outrage by telling us that the loveseat cannot be delivered on that Saturday because the only person who works for the Ashley HomeStore in Monroe who knows how to take apart the loveseat is no working that Saturday.
Next, my husband has to take time off from work to have it delivered during the week. (As the store was aware I am disabled so that I could take care of it by myself). When my husband tells the manager this, he replies, "It's going to cost me (the manager) more money to have it delivered again!" How do you like that answer? I say, "that is true customer service!"
The crowning glory is the materials and quality of the loveseat! Where I set on the loveseat is already giving way, and showing an indentation where I set. Ashley's Reclining Loveseat after two months is already as bad if not worse than the loveseat I threw away. I will never buy another piece of Ashley Furniture.

We the Party
A revealing look at contemporary youth culture, this film shows teenagers as they are, not as adults would like them to be. Set amidst the latest trends in music, dance and fashion, it is a colorful, cutting-edge comedy set in an ethnically diverse Los Angeles high school during America's first black president. The film focuses on five friends as they deal with romance, money, prom, college, sex, bullies, facebook, fitting in, standing out, and finding themselves. Evoking such classic teen comedies as The Breakfast Club and House Party but with an attitude and style all its own, this film captures the hopes, confusion, challenges and dreams of today's teenagers as they plunge headlong into an uncertain future.

I've been using this homemade setup I made for over 4 years (have I owned this welder that long? How time flies when you're having fun!). It took about an hour to make, start-to-finish, and didn't cost a dime as I used scraps and freebies to construct it. What I like about it is that it doesn't increase the width of the welder as the cylinders mount diagonally (see the pics). It wont work for the larger size tanks as space is limited.
- First remove tank and upper mounting bracket
- Then take a piece of 2"x10" plank and cut out to fit under the tank. It will have to be notched to fit over the axle and cut with a jigsaw where it comes close to the other tank. Alternately and if you are worried about fire, you could whip up a base made of metal.
- Note where the tray has been modified for the rear tank to sit flat. Cut with a hacksaw and bend down with a large adjustable wrench.
- The upper cylinder mounting bracket was made out of some shelving scraps and utilized the original mounting holes. The strap was created out of a 8" muffler strap although you could use just about anything. The left side as you look from the rear is hinged (any old small hinge--welded to the strap and cylinder support bracket) and there is a stud welded to the right side with a wing nut.
- Strips of rubber are used inside the straps.
Although this is far from a complete "do-it-yourself" plan, it should give you some ideas for you to make your own variation. Of note is that I had to enlarge the bracket slightly when I went to the taller tank shown. When they were both the same size they fit perfectly.
Good Luck!

Eared pipe clamps ? Aaah , maybe friction clamps ? Yes they do work well for bottle racks . I weld on the nut in back and make a T-bolt for the front . A piece of all thread with a nut welded on to it as a shoulder for the front half to bear against then weld a piece of 1/2" B.I. pipe over the all thread and then for the tee , weld on a piece of 1/2 B.I. pipe . Than you don,t need any wrenchs to change a empty on your bottle rack . I have built five or six bottle racks and carts like this . You can even add a piece of light chain to keep the T-bolts from growing legs and walking away .This happened on my friends water well rig . Stole the t-bolt but left the oxygen bottle . Dan

I guess blondes really DO have more fun! Our little Sarah Shine is all grown up and sporting a brand new blonde hair-do. Does the blonde hair make her a better cock-sucker? It certainly looks like it! The last time I saw this 18-year-old, she was deep-throating dick at Only Teen Blowjobs and I predicted that she would be getting throat-fucked soon. Well, here she is! And her blowjobs are wetter, sloppier, and deeper than ever before. Our former brunette is now a dirty, blonde, cock-slobbering slut!
Sarah Sine sure is a slurper!

If you could spend one day in a great library studying anything you wanted, what would you study?
People don't read and think for themselves anymore. Maybe this is an age-old problem, maybe not. Regardless, I hope that asking this question will spur people on to think about what interests them, what makes them curious, and to go and actively pursue knowledge on that subject.
To help people read, think and speak for themselves again -- that should be a goal of every human capable of thought.
Apr 17 2013: If library is really great one, book will choose me. My book is waiting for me. I know very little, how can I choose best for me. You believe it or not... It happens with me.

Being that we are a social species, we should always cherish the intellectual exchange of ideas. However, we've increasingly isolated ourselves from one another with technology. As a result, we no longer search in depth for answers and understanding—we simply consult Google or Wikipedia. Libraries are quickly becoming places of antiquity.
One of my all-time favorite quotes comes from Socrates: "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for."Apr 14 2013: The internet probably has that many books. I find myself using Wiki to answer most of the questions I would have for such a library. So I would probably just walk around and see what others were looking at in response to my curiosity.

Having just a day would sure put a crush on what I'd want to read about.Apr 14 2013: My one day in a great library would be a day of dedication towards the works of the late Clive Staples Lewis; I would find interest in all of his works, even the stories such as the amazing Space Trilogy that I've already read, and I would enjoy reading the Christian apologetic books he has published, all of which entice thought and creativity.
After that, I would finish the day off by finding my way through the wardrobe, with just enough time remaining to greet the great Aslan.
"I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the horses the new strength of fear for the last mill so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you."

Apr 14 2013: Successful Family Enterprise: Their are certain basic structural and relationship actions, decisions, traditions, estate planning vital details, holiday meal gathering, and much more that particular families accomplish. I witness loving leadership styles of both matriarchs and patriarchs; and sometimes am literally AWED by the graciousness of particular family leaders. The celebration of work ethic, the joys of HARD WORK, always resulting is Goal Achievements one finds in any successful both individuals and of course FAMILIES.
- +1
Studying these families in the library is a beautiful idea, AND participating in retreat weekends also comes to mind. I absolutely believe these accomplishments takes REAL dedicated, consistent effort. A certain amount of good fortune, lots of faithful prayers and worship, bible study time and the elders must take care of the children/grandchildren. Eventually, the children also will need to care for the frail elders quite often. "A Circle of Care" may encapsulate the whole subject !! :):):) Consistently committed leadership also will always be present in the more successful families.
Finally, I am now very curious what studies and while papers and thesis have been done on this subject. It is a tremendously rich and societally rewarding topic that America certainly NEEDS in order to grow GDP, jobs, ourselves and our families. Thank you Prashanth for the excellent table topic !!! :):):)Apr 20 2013: Robotics, and the many different languages of programming.
these are some of the things that have interested me this year, but not yet have i learned them ..Apr 19 2013: I am going to assume you mean a physical library? To answer your question directly: If I could spend a day in a great library, I would spend some time looking at their rare and precious books, but mostly I would study the people who go to these libraries, the people who work there, and what they do.
I must say I disagree with your premise that reading means that you think for yourself, and how would blind people answer this question? Reading is but one of many ways of receiving information, knowledge, and wisdom, and there are those who rely on reading to the exclusion of direct experience. In fact, I could go so far as to argue that if you really want to go out and pursue knowledge, stop reading and get out into the real world.
For me, what your question points more to, is the extent to which people are manipulated by others - by our media in all its forms. When we read or view any sort of media, do we think for ourselves?Apr 19 2013: The first thing I would look at is material on belly dancing. Lately I've been getting very interested in this subject, and I'd like to see if they have anything new.Apr 19 2013: A day? I would spend my whole life in a great library to study to satisfy the hunger for knowledge, and partially to catch up on reading that I have never done before in my childhood.
My passion lies on making earth as liveable as possible. global warming is no longer a myth, just a fact that everybody want to forget in today's torrent of economic crisis.
My reading lists will be segregated to several parts:
Studying the elemental mechanism of global warming, dating to the prehistoric past
Occasional drifting to interesting and unrelated subjects to refresh the mind
Learning from the precedented efforts made by concerned citizens of earth
Reading biographies of inspiring leaders to keep the motivation high
Explore the possible methods of saving the earth, and establish networks with the authors of academic papers for collaboration.
These would sum up my entire life in the great library. it is humanly impossible to live in the library for the rest of your life, but it should always be a second home for everybody as it is indeed the only place that meet your intellectual demand as a human being.Apr 19 2013: 1st 15min the physics of running..second 15 min speed reading... so I could get to the other sections as fast as i could and read as much as i can, before they unfairly close the doors.Apr 19 2013: If I could spend one day in a great library, I spend every second scanning and posting to the internet. Starting with historical documents; hopefully including pre-1780s America documents including ship logs with cargo manifest and any documents on the original Viking 9-noble virtues.
But if I could aid the greatest library (the internet) in any interest other than my own, I would be delighted.
And the next day I start a crowd-source to get them transcribed.Apr 19 2013: I will spend my time on writing skill learning.I think it is the most important skill for students who want to go aboard for improve themselves.As I know the English teacher only impart the English text contents to students in China,simply as vocabulary and fudemental grammar in university if your major isn't English.It would be difficult to me as my major is photography when I plan to attend to the foreign country for postgraduate.Apr 19 2013: If the library had an extensive archive section I'd likely just lose myself in there for the whole day! I always find it comforting to be surrounded by old books and materials.Apr 19 2013: Top 3
1. Cosmology
2. Neuropsychology
3. HinduismApr 19 2013: My answer to your title question is this; I would study the amazing people it would attract.Apr 18 2013: I would probably study human anatomy and embryology. The intricacy and sheer genius of the human body never fails to astonish me and the way in which genes and transcription factors carefully align and activate cells is incredible. The two combined seem impossibly complicated, I think it's fascinating.Apr 18 2013: Among many topics which I could very easily (and happily!) spend my entire day reading about, maybe spending the time studying the decline in people seeming to want to extend their knowledge and study in the first place could be interesting...
W. Ying
Apr 18 2013: .
- 0
I would study invalid (ineffective or harmful) happiness.Apr 18 2013: HOW TO GET AN ENLIGHTMENT and HOW TO GET WISDOMS.Apr 18 2013: Books give us information and direct us. But the main lessons we need to learn we don't ''read'' from books. And yes, in order to read the best one, I need 1000 books to read.Apr 14 2013: How many libraries are not great libraries? Ignoring that, I have many interests. Of course, really amazing books that I can't get access to are not in English. So I can't read them. English versions of our core thought are widely available. Do you want to read the most modern texts? or the tiny number of books that Western thought is based upon. Malthus, Darwin, etc. are widely available.Apr 14 2013: Where I live reading is really a popular pastime, along with creative ventures. Our former city librarian is considered such a rock star, there is an action figure of her. She also has a weekly book show on the city's cable channel. I don't know anyone who doesn't read.
The sorts of things I like to study don't squeeze well into a day, so I will fudge some on that aspect of your question. Lately I have been reading neuroscientists talking about neuroscience/science of mind. I approach this with a combination of reading intended for a general audience and science textbook. One thing I am really grateful about from my education is that I have adequate background, content and method, to jump into this sort of project.
I have access online to a great library, but lots of times I get a copy of the book if I can, because i underline and make margin notes.
I am also part of a couple of learning communities on two different subjects for which I do reading of articles and books and hear lectures.
What would you/do you study?

The inside of Helen Putnam's Mr. Bingle box has a copy of the last ad she created with him in 1956 that ran in The Commercial Appeal. She was a commercial artist for Lowensteins during the Mr. Bingle era.
Artist Helen Putnam connected with her old friend, Mr. Bingle, when she drew his image so she and her crafting friends could use it to make Mr. Bingle Boxes. In the 1950s, the amiable snowman was not only a small stuffed toy Memphis children clutched to their hearts, he was also the star of a afternoon television program shown during the holiday season.
Commercial artist Helen Putnam first drew the beloved Christmas character Mr. Bingle in the 1950s.
When Mr. Bingle's winged image started showing up in newspaper ads for Lowenstein's department stores in the 1950s, children in Memphis knew they would soon be opening their Christmas presents.
Artist Helen Putnam, now 86, drew Mr. Bingle in many poses, including this one that appeared in his last local advertisement, fifty-three years ago today (Dec. 25, 1956), in The Commercial Appeal.
Helen Putnam, the artist who sketched Mr. Bingle in the 1950s, made a decorated "Mr. Bingle Box" as a gift for her granddaughter, Claire Myers, who lives in Jackson, Miss.
Helen Putnam and members of her crafting group used new images she sketched of Mr. Bingle to decoupage cigar boxes, making "Mr. Bingle Boxes."

Friday, April 23, 2004JOHNSON CITY, TENN. (April 23, 2004) - The East Tennessee State University women's softball squad has completed their 2004-2005 recruiting class with four student-athletes signing national letters of intent to compete for head coach Amy Fuller and ETSU during the 2005 campaign, it was announced today. Melissa McCall (Kingsport, Tenn./Dobyns-Bennett), Briana Knight (Brier, Wash./Mountlake Terrace), Amanda Haverman (Kirkwood, Mo./Kirkwood) and Jessica Payne (Maryville, Tenn./William Blount) will all join the ETSU softball team for the 2004-2005 season. McCall, an area standout from nearby Kingsport, was a four-year varsity starter for the Dobyns-Bennett softball team playing primarily third base. During her junior campaign Melissa was honored as a member of the All-District team as well as being honored with All-Conference Tournament team accolades. Leading her high school squad to the 2003 conference and district crowns, McCall will bring a solid softball background to the field for ETSU. Melissa has also played USSSA softball with the Greeneville Stars where she was awarded the Defensive Player of the Year award at the Tennessee State Tournament during the summer of 2003. Posting solid numbers with a .377 batting average, McCall will compete for the Knoxville Thunder ASA Gold travel team during the summer of 2004. The daughter of Edwin and Mary McCall, Melissa was also a key member of the Dobyns-Bennett volleyball squad earning All-District honors while also competing on the varsity basketball squad. "Melissa will be an all-around positive addition to the ETSU softball program," coach Fuller had to say. "She has a strong arm, sound eye-hand coordination and the ability to develop into a sound division one power hitter." Briana Knight is also a celebrated high school athlete who will bring solid experience and a strong work ethic to the ETSU softball squad. A national nominee for the Wendy's High School Heisman Award in 2003, Knight boasts a 3.9 grade point average at Mountlake Terrace High School earning varsity letters in both softball and soccer. Knight was honored with first-team All-Wesco accolades during the 2002 and 2003 seasons, and recorded the most runs in school history in 2003. Briana also competed for the Eastside Elite traveling team playing primarily second base in both high school and travel competition. In 65 games played for Eastside Elite, she finished with a .359 average and 12 stolen bases, while during high school play she hit .389 stealing six bases in 23 games. "Briana brings a great deal of experience and speed to our team. Playing competitive travel softball for many years she understands the work ethic that it takes to be part of a competitive program. With her ability to play both infield and outfield, Briana will have an immediate impact on the ETSU softball program both offensively and defensively." Amanda Haverman will join the ETSU squad from Kirkwood, Mo. where she has won numerous honors as a four-year varsity starter for Kirkwood High School. Haverman will primarily pitch for the Lady Bucs and will bring strong experience to the first and third base positions. During her senior season she posted a 14-8 record, with a .44 earned run average, while hitting .384 with a tally of 14 RBI, a team high in that category. Also competing with the St. Louis Elite traveling team, Haverman posted a 34-19 record, four saves, a 1.04 earned run average with five shutouts on the year. Along with her impressive pitching stats during her select season, her overall batting statistics, a .341 average in 79 games, will also bring an offensive charge to the ETSU line-up. The daughter of Frank and Sheila Haverman, Amanda plans to major in math and education. "Amanda will make an immediate impact on our pitching staff and as a hitter for our team. She has the size to become a dominating pitcher and constant offensive threat. With her experience at the select level, and a well-coached athlete thus far in her career, it will be exciting to see how she develops at ETSU," coach Fuller said. Jessica Payne joins the ETSU line-up from Maryville, Tenn. An all-around athlete, Payne will bring flexibility to the line-up with her experience at the middle-infield, outfield and first base positions. Jessica was a four-year starter for the varsity squad at William Blount High School and competed with the 2003 Knoxville Thunder travel team. During her junior season she was named to the 2003 All-Blount County Softball Team, while also being honored to the All-District Four squad for the second consecutive year. "Jessica brings a lot of competitive experience to the plate as well. She is fundamentally sound both defensively and offensively with an amazing work ethic. I expect Jessica to develop quickly into an impact player for our team," Fuller said. Catch the Lady Bucs as they return to conference action in an April 24 doubleheader with College of Charleston and a single game set for April 25. All games will be played at Metro-Kiwanis Park.

Affordable Accommodation for the Eco-Conscious Traveller in Buenos Aires
If you're an eco-conscious traveller planning to visit Buenos Aires on a tight budget, don't worry, you don't have to leave your green lifestyle behind. The Eco-Pampa Hostel located in the trendy neighborhood of Palermo ¨Soho¨ is an affordable alternative to big hotels that has been carefully designed for minimal environmental impact. The hostel, which prides itself on being ¨Buenos Aires' first eco-hostel,¨ opened its doors just a year ago in what used to be the local theatre, and is a growing favorite amongst international travelers!
Sited along the lush and green Guatemala Street, the Eco-Pampa Hostel greets its visitors with a bar and a multi-purpose salon decorated with a mix of furniture purchased at flea markets and auction sales. The salon serves as a meeting space where travellers from around the globe can exchange tips on where to go and what to do in the sunny Argentine capital and beyond.
On the first floor, the bedrooms are austere and made to last. They boast facilities such as low-energy air conditioning and LCD TVs, and because all the furniture is second-hand, no two rooms look the same. Furnishing and bedding are made of unbleached cotton that has not been treated with environmentally harmful dyes or bleach. Additionally, quirky signage system reminds visitors of the small, everyday sustainable actions they can incorporate to their everyday life – the taps have water aerators and the toilets water-efficient dual-flush systems. Water from the showers also get reused as water for the toilets through a simple but clever pipes system.
