Hunger Talk
Summary: Just when he thought he was going to have a good, innocent time at Lily's house, he ends up being questioned by her teddy bear.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter
Remus Lupin, fresh from another successful, hardly any pain, werewolf transformation, made his way down an industrial street in Northern England. He was off to see a good friend of his, Lily Evans. She was the same Lily Evans that just happened to realize her love for one of his best mates, James Potter, at the end of their seventh year of Hogwarts. They were having a midsummer get together at her house.
His stomach was protesting. He was hungry, and the hunger he felt was one thing that hung over, usually, from his transformation. It wasn't so intense that he would attack someone, but it bugged him that he stomach affected his senses at times. He patted his belly, knowing he could hold it for a little while longer.
He continued to look at the white houses that he passed by, looking for Lily's number. He finally found it at the end of the block next to an old playground. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door.
A raven-haired young woman opened the door. She had a scowl on her face and seemed to look down her nose at him. She lifted an eyebrow, not discreetly looking him up and down. Remus shifted a little where he stood. Perhaps he was at the wrong house.
"Lily I think one of your…friends is here," the girl sneered. She left the door open and stepped aside.
He realized that the person who answered the door was Lily's sister, the snobbish Petunia (soon to be Dursley) Evans. Remus walked in to be greeted by a friendlier face. Her long red hair was pulled back into a low pony-tail, and she was wearing an apron. She pulled Remus into a hug. Remus happily patted her back. She released him and he looked into her emerald green eyes. "It's been awhile, Remus."
"How have you been, Lily?" She was leading him to the steps that were tucked away in the living room. "Has James been keeping you tidy?"
"Is that supposed to mean anything?" Lily teased. "He's been here almost every other day—not that I mind it."
Remus followed her to the end of the upstairs hallway. The hallway was full of pictures, some that even moved. He guessed that her parents were very accepting of the fact that she was a witch, though her sister didn't seem like it. "What's up with your sister?" Remus asked. "She was looking down at me like I had some…well, for lack of a better word, infection."
Lily smiled at the irony of his statement. Remus smiled in return. The little snippet of information that he was a werewolf was not known to Petunia or Lily's parents. To them, he was just a normal teen, or as normal as a normal wizard could get. Remus wouldn't doubt, though, that Petunia had some sort of inclination that something else wasn't normal about him.
"Don't worry too much about it, Remus. She's been just the tads bit of jealous of me and my friends ever since I started going to Hogwarts." Lily stopped at the end of the hall. "Now don't make fun of me. As much as I'm a bore at school, I still have some sort of girly side." She pulled open the door. Remus was flashed with colors.
"Some sort?" Remus's eyes strained to see some sort of plain normal color. The floor was a magenta carpet that had weird lime green patterns and shapes all throughout it. The wall was a dark pink shade with a purple border. Her bed was a normal white, though with a dozen little colored pillows all over. In the corner were some bean-bag chairs that looked as though they've seen better days. Remus could only guess the boy who rumpled them up so much. The thing that caught his attention the most, though, was one of her desks. She had two, one for studies he guessed, and the other…well the other was piled with stuffed bears.
"One for every color of the rainbow, and some," Remus said, pointing to the stuffed bears.
Lily's face turned a slight pink color. "Yes. I told you. Don't poke fun!"
"I'm not." Remus eyed the bears. "How many—?"
"Forty-five," Lily interrupted. "I must say, you're taking this better than James had."
"What did he do? Laugh?"
Lily led him to the bed. He sat down, sinking into the covers. He gave a look to Lily, who only shrugged and smiled. "Well, now that you're comfortable, how about I go get some tea and cookies?"
"I am feeling hungry."
Lily gave him a quizzical look. He waved his hand, a sign that he wasn't werewolf hungry, and laughed. Lily smiled again and left the room, closing the door behind her.
Remus shifted around a little, trying to find the most comfortable spot. After he found it, he took another glance around the room. He smiled at the thought that Lily was so girly and cringed at the colors that sifted through his eyes. He closed his eyes and shook his head once, trying to clear himself. When he opened them back up they happened to be looking at the desk of bears. Some bears were small others were big. He could tell that some were from the Wizarding world, others were just normal. The fake, marble like eyes seemed to stare at him. He turned away, a little creped out.
His stomach growled. He rubbed it with one hand.
"Hey Remus!"
Remus's hair stood on end. He fumbled with the covers, holding his hand over where his wand was held. He looked around the room, brow furrowed in confusion. There wasn't anyone there. He took a deep breath.
"Remus? Over here, look at me!"
Remus's eyes pinpointed a little bear moving its stuffed paw as if it was waving. Remus blinked a few times, but it still sat there waving. "Yeah, I'm talking to you! Come here."
Remus followed the order, carefully climbing out of Lily's bed. He couldn't believe it. Was the bear really talking? Was it really moving its paw? The bear moved its purple head, watching his every step. Remus stuffed one hand in his pocket in case he needed his wand for any reason. The bear stared at him. Remus thought for maybe a second that he was just imagining things and that it wasn't real, but it stood up on its stuffed legs. "Hello. Glad to have your attention."
"You're not talking to me, are you?" Remus felt stupid, but he needed to ask.
The little purple bear crossed its stuffed arms. "Of course I'm talking to you! Who else's name is Remus?"
Remus swiped a hand through his brown hair. He wasn't imagining things. The bear was talking to him as if it were a normal thing. He felt as if he was going crazy.
The bear, seeming to notice his change in appearance, uncrossed its arms and motioned for him to come closer. "There is more where that came from, Remus. If you'll just answer a few friendly questions for me—"
"Why?" Remus was getting closer to the bear. It was no bigger than his hand. "Why are you talking to me? Do you do this to Lily?"
"No! We wouldn't dare talk to our master!" The little bear looked as though he said a curse word. Remus didn't know how it looked that way when his expression was the same old stitched smile. "If we do that we'd scare her and she'd probably burn us alive." It nodded its head. "We know what kind of magic she's been practicing in this room."
"Hey!" The little bear held up a stuffed arm and pointed to Remus's nose. "I'm asking the questions now sit!"
Remus obeyed again, though really didn't know the reason why. Just when he thought he was going to have a good, innocent time at Lily's house, he ends up being questioned by her teddy bear. The little bear sat down himself, and stared Remus, or he thought it did, straight in the eye. "Your name is Remus John Lupin, correct?"
"How do you know this?"
"Stop asking questions! Yes or no?"
"Yes!" Remus couldn't believe he was being interrogated by Lily's bear. He wasn't liking the turn of events. "My name is Remus John Lupin."
"I said only yes or no! I don't care about your repeating!" The bear was becoming tough. Remus shut his mouth, his stomach making a low grumble noise. "You are eighteen years of age, a graduate of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, yes?"
"Correct." Remus felt himself glare at the little bear; becoming increasingly annoyed with it.
"Pull out your wand."
Remus felt himself dig in a little harshly for his wand. When he pulled it out little red sparks shot out. The bear didn't flinch. "Settle down," it said. "I just want you to set it beside you—no funny business," it warned.
Remus set the wand next to him. The bear crossed its stuffed arms and paced in the space provided on the desk. Remus watched for a moment before it was interrupted by the door opening behind him. In came Lily with a tray of tea and assorted cookies. She gave him a strange look. Remus opened his mouth as if to say something, but turned to look back at the desk instead. The little purple bear wasn't moving. He guessed Lily didn't see it move at all.
"I like your floor," he said finally, his voice a little higher than normal. He rubbed the carpet for effect. "It's comfortable."
"Alright," she said, setting the tray and cups on her study desk. "I was just wondering, I mean. It was a little odd seeing you there."
"Lily! I'm not going to answer the door for you all day! Get down here!"
"Coming, Petunia!" Lily shook her head, rolling her eyes. "She's been acting like this all day. I hope she leaves soon."
Lily shut the door behind her. Remus stared at the tray of cookies, his stomach sinking into another growl. The purple bear hopped back onto its legs, catching Remus's attention. "Back to the interrogation."
"You didn't describe it like that last time," Remus growled. "I thought they were just friendly questions."
"You're being hostile!" The bear pointed an accusing stuffed arm at him. "Should I call my army?"
"No!" Remus yelled a little too loudly. He softened his voice. "Let's get this over with."
"Where was I?" The bear tapped its head. "Oh, yes. You graduated from Hogwarts. You are friends with Lily's male, James Harold Potter, correct?"
The bear waited to see if he was going to comment, but Remus kept his mouth shut. Remus fumed on the inside. He was angry that he was being questioned for no reason and getting angrier the more he looked at the little authority bear. The bear stood still.
"You are a registered werewolf, are you not?"
Remus gave a curt nod. The bear crossed his arms. "You are hungry, aren't you?"
"More than you think," Remus mumbled. He was starting to lose vision because of the hunger inside of him.
The bear head a stuffed paw to its ear. "What? I didn't hear that!"
Remus snapped. His eyes formed slits as the hunger and anger burst through him and channeled its energy at Lily's little purple bear. "YES!" he roared. He was on his feet now, feeling more werewolf-ish than he did when he walked through the door the first time. He was hunched down low, his arms spread apart ready to tear. A growl escaped him.
"He's lost it!" The little bear called. Remus could see other bears start to stand up on their feet. Forty-five multi-colored bears all stood, ready for action. "He's dangerous—hostile—! His hunger is talking! All bears ready for pounce!"
Remus watched as the bears lunched themselves off the desk, their soft bodies hitting him. He grabbed whatever he could and tore. Remus was spitting out just as much stuffing than he was tearing out. Little screams and yelps came from their unmoving mouths as he used his hands and teeth to tear at whatever he could reach.
He finally fought off every last one, stuffing laying everywhere, and cloth lying in tatters all over the floor. Their leader, the purple one, lay beside the desk; its legs torn off, one arm hardly held any stuffing in it, and an eye missing. Remus stood over him, eyes cross and breathing hard. He picked it up.
"You've massacred my people," it cried. Remus heard a shuddering sob go through its little body. "You are no good for our Lily."
"Who are you to judge me?" Remus spat on the bear. It wiped the spit off with a good paw. "You don't know me! I may be a werewolf, but I would never harm my best friend's girlfriend!"
With that said he took his hand, just as the door opened behind him, and with a great rip, tore off the bears' head. There was a gasp. Remus dropped the limp, mangled thing.
"Remus." Lily was as white as a ghost. There were two other boys behind her, looking around the room a little shocked. The remains of the bears lay all over the floor and the desk. Stuffing was spread throughout the room. Little arms and big legs were tattered and scattered. All of the bears just happened to be decapitated from their bodies, their unmoving, sad like eyes staring. "Remus…"
"What is bloody hel—Moony!" James Potter would almost have had a comical look on his face if his girlfriend wasn't almost crying. He held her hand tightly. "What did you do?"
"There was a war in here!" Sirius Black, yet another good friend of Remus's, was trying to get through, a mischievous smile on his face. "We came up here because we heard a yell. Didn't know you had this much fun!"
Remus felt the guilt flood into his senses, suppressing the hunger that was dying down. "I was…I was just…hungry…"
The three Marauder's helped Lily sort out every piece of bear to the right bodies and, with the help of their wands, put them all back together again. Remus explained the best he could about the situation, and the fact that the night before was a full moon, so it didn't help any. Lily understood, actually laughing about the event in the end.
"That was a pretty fascinating story, if I do say so myself," James said, sitting next to his girlfriend in a bean-bag chair.
Lily had served them all tea and cookies and they were relaxing now after the afternoon put together. All of the bears were back together and sitting on the desk. Remus wouldn't look at them.
"It worries me to leave you alone now, Moony," Sirius teased, popping the last of his snack in his mouth. "I mean really?"
Remus smiled sheepishly. "I guess my hunger was just talking to me."
Lala Rue here, and I've made a new story! I'm excited. I hope you like it, because I do.
So this is meant to be a funny story in a stuffing-tearing/gory kind of way. It's the thought that's funny, I guess, and I hope people can see it the way I see it.
Thanks for reading!
Love, La'Ruelia!

Claudia Hammond speaks to a researcher in Australia developing a whole new form of vision.
The field of bionics has transformed medicine for centuries, as far back as the ancient Egyptians who created bespoke toes from wood and leather. During the 20th Century mechanical and electronic advances made heart pacemakers and more sophisticated prosthetic limbs possible. Now, researchers are creating bionic eyes to help blind people see again.
You don't even need eyeballs
Neurosurgeon Jeffrey Rosenfeld, director of the Monash Institute of Medical Engineering in Australia, hopes to implant tiny "ceramic micro-electrode tiles" into the brain's visual cortex of blind volunteers this year – bypassing the normal visual pathway. You don't even need eyeballs. A digital camera mounted on a pair of glasses captures images which are then processed in a device about the size of a mobile phone. The resulting image is then transferred wirelessly to the tiles in the brain – the more tiles, the more detailed the image. Such techniques designed to help people with disabilities could also be adopted by others wanting to enhance their own senses or performance.
Rosenfeld spoke to the BBC's Claudia Hammond at our World-Changing Ideas Summit in Sydney in November. You can hear the interview from 7:30 onwards in the episode of BBC World Service programme Health Check below, which also features an exploration of the fascinating history of bionics, and the ethical questions that the next generation of enhancements may raise in the future.

Prodibio Iodi+
Price including german VAT plus shipping costs
Prodibio Iodi+ is an iodine/iodide compound that contains all the forms of iodine required for coral development and coloration. One ampoule of Iodi+ contains 76 mg of iodine. This allows you to control the quantity of Iodine you are adding in your tank. odine performs a very important role as a trace element in the aquarium environment. Invertebrates need it for coloration and for adapting to lighting variations. Then it helps combat coral bleaching and neutralize the excess oxygen produced by zooxanthellae under excessive lighting. It is eliminated by the algae and invertebrates in the aquarium, by the protein skimmer and the active carbon, and by dispersion into the atmosphere.
Dosage for Prodibio Iodi+:
One ampoule per 400 litres of water every two weeks.

Episodes of food poisioning and food-related illness appear to show up making headlines at least several times every year. If you've been made ill by food poisoning, you may be questioning if you can file a lawsuits involving food poisoning
You may have a solid suspicion that it was that specific dinner at that specific restaurant that made you sick. However it can be challenging to prove, particularly if any tremendous amount of time has transpired between your meal and your sickness. Even just in rare times when you happen to have evidence that might show that the restaurant's food was tainted ( leftovers in bag somewhere in your fridge), it's likely not definite evidence.

THE RNLI announced the move to open inland lifeboat stations yesterday because of the difficulties encountered in getting boats to trouble spots in last week's floods.
When people had to be rescued from the Kent village of Yalding on Friday, a boat had to be brought on a cement mixer.
In Lewes, firemen supposedly in charge of rescue operations had to be rescued from their own fire station because of flooding. The RNLI believes that the scheme could lead to cost-savings in obviating the need to use RAF helicopters and bringing its own inshore boats from coastal stations.
An RNLI spokesman said: "Overall, the emergency services coped extremely well in the latest floods in the South-East, there were near-misses but fortunately no one was killed or badly injured. The problem is that we are witnessing an increasing number of floods in areas barely accessible by boat. Without a specially designed vessel able to operate in the shallowest of waters, it is extremely difficult to save lives. There is a fear that we are relying more on luck than judgment."
New types of rigid inflatables would be stationed on rivers where flooding is increasingly common, or where, as some believe, housing has been unwisely built in vulnerable areas. Meanwhile, some parts of the South-East escaped the torrential rain the forecasters had predicted yesterday as the cleaning up continued. In Lewes, Sussex, many people were warned that it could be months before they could live in their homes.

It might seem tough for an NFL receiver to play with a broken finger, what with passes being fired his direction at high speeds and him needing to, you know, catch them and all.
But Derrick Mason, who has now broken his right pinky finger twice in the span of a handful of weeks, says it actually isn't that difficult to play through the pain, and he plans on toughing it out again this Sunday against the Panthers.
"It's not tough. It's like riding a bike," Mason said. "Once you've been doing it, you don't forget how. When you're in a game, your adrenaline is going, so you don't feel it. I don't feel it. I just go out there and I play. Unless somebody really takes a shot at it, then I kind of feel it then. But after a while the pain kind of subsides, and I continue on with the play."
Head coach John Harbaugh said that there are some times when he'll decide to sit a player even if he says that he can fight through an injury and play, but given Mason's specific injury and the fact that he's proven he can play through it, he is fine with letting his veteran wide receiver suit up against Carolina.
"Believe me, there are some things out there that hurt so much that a guy just can't perform through it," Harbaugh said. "Other times, they can. We do have some guys - like Derrick Mason - that because [if] a guy has played so many games for so many years, you've got to assume he's got a pretty good pain threshold. And, Derrick caught the ball well. So, he looks fine."
Mason had surgery during the Ravens' bye week to put a pin in the broken finger, but he re-broke it making a touchdown reception against the Falcons last Thursday.
He had a procedure on the pinky done over the weekend, but was back practicing with the team today.
That's nothing new to Mason, who says he's grown accustomed to playing injured throughout the course of his career.
"I don't think I've ever allowed an injury to hold me out of a game," Mason said. "I had one knee injury early on in my career, and I think I missed a game; had surgery. Luckily, we had a bye week, so I ended up [only] missing one game. But that's the way I was brought up. You play through pain. Whatever it may be, you play through it. If you can go out there, run and catch the ball, then do it.
"Right now, I believe I feel better than I've ever felt before at this stage of a season, especially the last three years. If I've got to play through an injury, so be it, because right now these last seven games are big. And if you can play, you need to play and put aside your aches and pains."

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
It's a question that frequently comes my way. Teenagers, who have found MDA and jump on board with the PB, have their brand of difficulties going Primal: skeptical – if not disapproving – parents, decidedly un-Primal school lunches and social outings, team fast food stops, etc. How does a high schooler go Primal when his/her family isn't? What does the choice mean for navigating other areas of teen life?
Dear Mark,
I'm 17 and have been trying to switch over to the PB, but some areas are harder right now than others. I'm really getting into the workout ideas and love the simplicity of your Primal Blueprint Fitness ebook program. For me, the eating part is the most complicated. My parents are unsure about the diet and don't offer much support for the choices I make with the PB. I think they believe it's just a phase that I'll give up if they just wait long enough. The social thing is a little bit of a challenge, and don't get me started on the McDonald's runs my basketball team makes every time we have an away game. Do you have any suggestions for those of us in high school? By the way, your site is great. I've even got some of my friends reading it now. Grok on!
Thanks to Dan for this week's question. First off, to all the MDA high schoolers out there, kudos for taking charge of your health. You have the chance to benefit from your choice your entire life – a responsibility that truly deserves a big hats off.
That said, I recognize the kinds of hurdles my younger readers can face making a Primal transition. When you live under your parents' roof and direction (not to mention financial umbrella), implementing some parts of the PB can be tricky. It certainly takes more work and thought. As in Dan's case, the food issue seems to present the most problems. Although teenagers' lives usually allow enough freedom to influence their own sleep schedule as well as outside/workout time, meals are another ball of wax.
Parents generally want the healthiest life for their child, and many are naturally suspicious of diet "fads" their kids appear to latch onto. (A number of us probably experimented with some novel diet or food obsession at one time during our teen years.) Nonetheless, there's obviously a difference between the latest grapefruit cleanse and the Primal Blueprint – a cornucopia of taste and nutrition harkening back to the tradition of primeval families everywhere. (Doesn't that sound convincing?) Speaking from the position of a parent myself – whose son goes by his own vegetarian version of a Primal diet, I can vouch for the power of good conversation and thoughtful initiative. I know I better understood my son's perspective – and he understood my concerns.
Ah, school. Even after you win over the most cautious-minded mother, there's the truly epic quest to revolutionize the school lunch menu. (Anyone game?) While you're trying to persuade the administration, there's plenty you can do to keep Primal.
The social scene will likely offer more temptation than pushback. Although you might get verbal support from your friends, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to give up late night pizza runs. You might find yourself sitting back while others dig in, but there's no reason to skip the outings all together.
Have ideas for the teenage PBers among us? Other questions or concerns to raise? Be sure to share your comments and tips. Thanks again to all the high schooler readers out there. Keep in touch and Grok on!

I'm sure (most) parents will find it hard to argue that lots of veggies, some fruits and good cuts of meat are bad for you. You might have to go the lean meats route for a while, but you could supplement with coconut products. Cost wise, a can of coconut milk or half a coconut a day isn't too large for them to say: "Nay!".
You don't have to eat any grain products or legumes if you say that they make you feel sick.
Good luck to all primal teenagers out there.
Good advice for all of us adults, also.
I'd just like to offer a word of encouragement for the teen PBers to stick with it. As Mark noted, it will be difficult at times, but you will never regret it. I only wish I would have found the guidance of the PB and community of MDA a lot sooner than I did. Grok on!!
One of our fellow Tumblr bloggers is a girl in college that continually impresses us with how she comes up with Primal-friendly meals from the cafeteria. I'll be passing along this link, bet she'd love it.
Well, you are not alone in your struggle. I'm 32y/o and cant get my family to support me either. My wife, bless her heart, is a diehard believer in the food pyramid and all the whole grain propaganda fed to us as kids growing up. She still tries to "Get all the Food Groups" in every meal. It's all pretty laughable to me, given all the research/debunking articles etc. i've read.
The trick is for her to realize, if possible, that there's basically nothing in whole grains that can't be acquired more healthfully (with more vitamins) and efficiently from other foods.
Maybe the comparisons here will help drive that point home:
I'd imagine that while some parents and families won't buy into some of the "gluten is toxic to everyone!" arguments, they'd be hard-pressed to disagree with this: "I feel like grains displace other more vitamin-enriched food I could be eating, so I'd like to eat more vegetables and fruit instead."
Plus that makes it more about nutrition than about whether your approach is "low carb" or not. (I know a lot of people automatically assume that a lower-carb diet is bad, too…)
I cannot imagine how these conversations go…
"I have decided to eat a more nutritious whole food diet rich in vegetables, fruits, proteins, and healthy fats."
"Oh, don't worry it's just a phase…"
I'm 19 years old and primal, and my family and friends have basically accepted what I do. Some of my family members actually introduced me to being primal. Sometimes, unfortuantely, my mom goes on about how I should be eating grains in moderation. She does not understand. I do help with the cooking though, always making something primal, and when I eat out I always make sure to eat as primal as I can
I wish I had this advice in high-school. I used to eat at McDonald's all the time then, because I thought it was a fad.
I'm 43, don't get me started on my Mother's attitude to Primal!
When my kids were teenagers the thing that persuaded us most with any of their apparent 'fads' was how long they stuck with it, if a month on they were still on track with whatever it was likely they wouldn't give up and we'd look carefully and be supportive/invest as appropriate, so stick with it but be polite about it, never get into a teenage mood, and never scream and shout; quiet diplomacy should win out.
Good luck to anyone trying to be Primal with their non-Primal relatives!
Lots of love for all the up-and-coming Padawan Groks. Even when I was trying to stay healthy by CW standards, I got blowback from my parents and had to make any runs for extra vegetables, lean meats, etc on my own time and dime, and pretty much forsook family mealtimes. There's definitely some sacrifices to be made, and my dad still razzes me about being a 'picky eater'–less than a month after needing bypass surgery for a heart blockage. Oy.
This post was so inspiring, I'm 17 so glad to hear that there are other teenagers out there who are primal. I feel lucky because my family understands (although I still get asked if I want a tortilla or some bread at times). I tend to do almost all the cooking and grocery shopping in the summers for my family, and help out as much as possible during the school year. My friends don't really understand, but I don't care since the effects of their diets will show up in 30 years.
ANY kid who needs a new home where parents embrace healthy food choices can apply for any of the rooms coming vacant as my teenagers move on to college.
Just be prepared to get the whole Grok package – yardwork especially 🙂
I can only imagine how hard it would be if I found the PB when I was in high school. Good advice!
I too am in high school and trying to persuade my parents to follow the primal lifestyle is tough. My mom is unsure of not having dairy for the bones but I assure her i am getting enough calcium. (supplement) But my dad is starting to get high cholesterol. My family comes from the phillippines so they have rice pretty much everyday.
I've been eating (mostly) primal for about 7 months now and I'm in culinary school. Imagine trying to explain to a class full of up-and-coming pastry chefs why I don't eat half the food we make! It's initially a shock to them, then people get used to it and actually have a lot of questions and show a lot of interest. Planning ahead and bringing healthy snacks is a big help. Kudos to going primal in high school! It's great to see the younger crowd focused on healthy lifestyles while most are double-fisting sausage McMuffins on their way to school…
You could always make almond flour or coconut flour versions, I suppose. 😉
limit the sweetener, etc, and you might be able to get it to a point where it is acceptable to eat.
Thanks Mark!
I'm 16 years old and fairly new to eating primal and its been awesome. I've started this diet because I was tired of my acne, arthritis, and Irritable Bowl Syndrome. So far all have improved.
One question concerning injuries, can this diet help grow back knee cartilage? I need terrible surgery because a of a knee injury and I have no cartilage left. Thanks!
Hi Matt,
I don't know if this is true, but Pete Egoscue hypothesizes that cartilage can grow back. You might want to look up his website. He has functional exercises that intend to realign the skeletal system in such a way that keeps the same damage from being caused over and over again. I have used them somewhat, to good effect, but don't have enough experience with them to whole-heartedly recommend. Good Luck!
Try a combination of horsetail and solomon's seal herbs– I've had fantastic results with that combo for most cartilage/ joint injuries that I see, some of them pretty brutal. I'd do either a tincture (one part of each) 30 drops three times a day, or a strong tea, 3 times a day.
Definitely great advice for all of us. I just began my PB transition and this article may be one of the best I've read thus far. I will certainly take the advice to heart. Thanks.
*I'm so skilled at proofreading.*
Love it.
Im 17 and the hardest part for me has been support from my peers. I started bringing primal food to lunch at school over pizza and received a ton of criticism. Not sure what the deal is here in Missouri but im hoping people will eventually learn.
Unfortunately, if they weren't on your case about this, they'd probably find something else to snark about. That's a big part of teenageryness…
At least you're 17 and will escape soon!
I guess school cultures vary. Most varsity athletes in our school preferred the soup/salad bar, because it was self-serve, whereas the other options (subs, nachos, hot lunch of the day) were portioned by lunch ladies. You could choose a large plate of salad and some fruit/dessert or a small plate of salad or sandwich and a bowl of soup (sometimes the soup tureen even had chili or lasagna!). As long as you could fit it in/on your dishes, it was yours — best way to fill up!
I'm also in highschool – 16.
I've been primal for a year now and going extremely well.
I'm lucky that I have a job because I generally have to buy some of my own food, mostly meat. I live in a rural area, farms left, right and centre (grass fed), but my dad still buys cheap meet from the supermarket.
Also, my mother thinks I'm crazy, and is sincerely considering sending me to a nutritionist / doctor.
wow hang in there
This is really great advice, wish I had known about the PB in high school!! What a great time to start creating good habits!
what an opportunity, to start such healthy living early in life. and once again, well written, carefully thought out advice. a lot of it applies to me at 48 since i have severe food intolerances and can't cheat at all on my diet without serious consequences. it requires a lot of work and preparation…but it's worth it
I have the same problem when out with the Danish Home Guards. The fare is usually a stew with mash potatoes or rice and some salad on the side. I fill my plate with salad and pours the stew over that, and it usually ends up being both primal and quite tasty.
Also for at work and at school I wrote these dietary guidelines: http://bit.ly/9OYe5F
Great post.
As a parent (of a 2 year old, so TOTALLY not a teenager), I'd be pretty impressed if my kid came to me and wanted to plan meals for the week. Seriously, no matter how wacky I thought his eating plans were, I'd let him give it a try. It's great preparation for adulthood.
Being a primal parent with primal kids who also wish to "partake in the rituals of our culture", I'd say go 80/20. 80% pure Primal. Mark gave you lots of good tips. Allow up to 20% of your diet to be a slice of pizza, really good burger, ya know? I'm hard core anti-fast food but you can find SOMETHING, even at McDonald's to carry you over until you get home. Good on you. You're not alone. My daughter is a hard core Primal Teen
I'm thinking we might need a Primal Teen page.
Hummm. Excellent post. I would be curious about your Son's vegetarian version of PB. Would you share it out? Thank you.
sorry for the spelling, lol its 1 am on the east coast!
Seventh line down
*my mom made me lose two jobs
This is a great help. I'm 15 and trying out the Primal Lifestyle and have found it a bit tricky in school for meals.
I precisely necessary to thank you so significantly but once again. I do not know the items I would've taken care of without these secrets contributed by you regarding this difficulty. It seemed to be a quite frightful crisis for me, but encountering a new well-written tactic you processed it forced me to jump with contentment. Now i am happier for the function and hope you might be aware of an amazing job you happen to be finding into educating men and women via your internet weblog. Probably you haven't come across any of us.
I would definitely recommend picking up Gary Taubes' books, if your parents are willing to read(sorry, if not… I know some people who's parents can't read anything more complicated than a menu). That one is usually a pretty good explanation of why it works in a way that they can't really contradict(its very hard to argue with a piece of paper).
I can imagine a kid being shunned in middle school for his or her weird eating habits. It would be great if they had primal parents and could just show a picture of their dad with his shirt off and just say, "My dad is strong and healthy. I want to look like my dad, so I eat like him!"
I feel that I got super lucky.
I am 19 and living with my parents and have only recently decided to go primal but when I told my mom she went for it right away (my dad is a WHOOLLLLEEEE other matter.) I am glad I have someone who is so supportive of the choices I make and someone who believes what I say. (instead of going and finding out about how good it is from a co-worker or something.)

Anyone who owns a BMW knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do. When your BMW 750Li xDrive was born, it was destined for a driver who wants European styling in their automobile. Make no mistake, you bought your 750Li xDrive because you wanted to buy best-in-class service and dependability both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV. You purchased your 750Li xDrive because its sporty handling and German engineering appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to great quality auto parts?
Your vehicle uses liquid coolant to maintain a constant temperature in the engine, and the cooling liquid needs to travel through the radiator before it can do its job. The heat produced by the combustion process gets absorbed by an ethylene glycol based liquid, and that coolant has to enter your BMW 750Li xDrive radiator at the upper hose from the engine and go all the way through it so that it can reduce its temperature. When it goes out through the lower hose and up to the water pump, it re-enters the engine and can now absorb more heat. Your BMW 750Li xDrive depends on the constant recirculation of cooling liquid so that it can stay within the prescribed operating temperature.
When your BMW needs a top quality replacement Radiator, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken Radiator bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality repair parts. Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. When it comes to BMW 750Li xDrive Radiator parts, you can find them for 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

In our case, the XSLT has access to all the data in the request and the session. If it's going to be round tripped, then we do so, but the action doesn't need to determine where a particular value came from. The original XSLT took care of determining that. If you're handling a lot of data in this manner then doing round trips obviously doesn't make sense, but we'll get to that in a bit... > Say, you want to chose your pipeline in sitemap depending on some > request parameter value, or a request header, or the current time > of the day.

What if you > could just plug-in the data source? There wouldn't be sources * match > type matchers. This gets me to a pet issue of mine: If I ever get the time I'd really like to build a version of the site map pipeline handler based XSLT that has all context information available to it as XML; the request variables, session data, etc. The XSLT could either act as a filter to some SAX event handler or you could use XSLT extensions to invoke the Cocoon components directly or you could use some form of import mechanism to invoke the Cocoon components. The first is perhaps more pure to XSLT, but it could have strange transformation/filtering requirements and be a little opaque to those not comfortable with XSLT ;-) More on imports in a moment... Using XSLT in such a way seems cleaner than constantly inventing new site map semantics and parameters. Of course the performance of such a beast might be sub-optimal. Then again, there's likely a lot of Cocoon overhead that would be eliminated; you essentially end up with a master transform that invokes other transforms. As such, XSLT import semantics might be a reasonable way to go, but I doubt you could use them in native form since some Cocoon components seem orthogonal to the transform process? However, for the normal case you might have to instantiate parsing and transformation many fewer times. > Say, you want to use the skin specified in a session attribute, if not > present a system default or if present a request parameter.

Yes, that certainly makes sense, you're extending the sitemap capabilities to build in some of the capabilities of XSLT: but just the XPath portion. I guess what I'd rather see (now that I understand what you're trying to do), is a sitemap pipeline parser that was XSLT transform driven (user definable of course). It likely wouldn't replace all of the sitemap, but rather would be aimed at replacing just the pipeline handling. Ultimately my reason for doing this is that the sitemap pipeline (as it exists today) ends up encoding a lot of business and presentation rules. I want to have these rules be configurable from a database (of some form). As such, I want to be able to generate XML (from my database) that invokes rules, which are written in XSLT. You're getting a long way there, but XPath by itself isn't sufficient for all types of rule handling. > XSP is completely absent from this picture. Actually, there's no > support to use it from XSP as of today. If I understand you're essentially creating many components reusable from the pipeline and trying to have a single set of semantics to extract data from these components into the pipeline? I'd guess the XSP folks would want similar capabilities, but I can see why that's not your concern! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
Mayo Clinic Volunteer Programs include four volunteer groups. New volunteers are placed based on their service area interests and availability.
In 1993, the Mayo Clinic outpatient practice proposed offering patient amenities beyond those provided by regular staff assignments. With the expertise of Mayo Clinic Hospital's Auxilians, the development of Mayo Clinic Volunteer Services began.
Guided by former Mayo Clinic administrator Jim T. McNary and others, the program came to life with four service areas up and running in September 1993. At that time, most volunteers were retired Mayo Clinic employees.
Mayo Clinic Volunteers includes nearly 480 volunteers today. The program provides various services to patients, visitors and staff throughout Mayo Clinic's downtown campus.
In the year after the establishment of Rochester Methodist Hospital on Jan. 1, 1954, Dottie Blackmun took up the challenge to encourage 40 women to join forces and form the charter group of Rochester Methodist Hospital Women's Auxiliary.
Eight women worked with Dottie Blackmun to create the structure for the organization, and Harry A. Blackmun, secretary of the hospital board and later a U.S. Supreme Court justice, wrote the constitution for the auxiliary. Rochester Methodist Hospital Women's Auxiliary was the first volunteer organization at Mayo Clinic and mentored the establishment of the Saint Marys Hospital Auxiliary in 1958 and Mayo Clinic Volunteer Services in 1993.
Built on the solid framework of the early founders and the dedication over the years of volunteers and staff, Methodist Campus Volunteers remains a strong organization committed to serving the needs of patients, visitors and staff. Today, the program has more than 300 volunteers and a variety of service areas.
In February 1958, Sister Mary Brigh Cassidy, the Saint Marys Hospital administrator, proposed forming a hospital volunteer organization to a group of 35 women. By March 17, those women had become the Saint Marys Hospital Auxiliary, serving Saint Marys patients, their families and the employees caring for them.
Sister Mary Brigh referred to these volunteers as the hospital's "human relations ambassadors with love." Her encouragement and support, and the friendship of other hospital-based sisters of Saint Francis, infused the volunteer service with Franciscan values.
Today, Saint Marys Campus Volunteers includes 450 volunteers in service areas throughout the Saint Marys Campus of Mayo Clinic Hospital — Rochester.
For many years, a volunteer program for teenagers was offered at Rochester Methodist Hospital and Saint Marys Hospital. In July 2004, Mayo Clinic Young Volunteers was established as a campuswide program providing volunteer opportunities for students ages 14 to 18 in both the clinic and hospital settings.
Our volunteers come from Rochester and surrounding communities and strive to be service champions contributing to Mayo Clinic's primary value: The needs of the patient come first.
Program participants have a wonderful opportunity to experience the Mayo Clinic environment, which often contributes to their interest in pursuing health care careers. Approximately 250 volunteers participate annually in a myriad of service areas.

Beginners and those just coming to grips with the game of poker enjoy easy to play features like "auto-muck" and "auto-post blinds". They also benefit from the logical game play which prompts players as to when it's their turn to bet. More advanced players enjoy a selection of 5 games including Texas Hold'em, Double Flop Hold'em, Omaha High/Low, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud High/Low. Seasoned online poker buffs will enjoy Victoria's tournaments and competitive sign-up and bonus offers.
Steven Manor from Victoria's Poker comments on the games. "I have been involved with Poker over the past 30 years both as a professional player and a dealer and I have never seen a simpler or more exciting way to play poker. Each of our 5 games play according to standard accepted rules and the house takes a small rake from each pot. We don't charge you to join, we don't charge for the software and we don't charge you by the hour."
Women who play poker are delighted that the site is kept "female-friendly" through player protection monitoring that results in chat expulsion for lewd, offensive or threatening language or conduct. No one at Victoria's is allowed to bully anyone else, and the results make for a gentlemen and ladies game.
Of all the unique features of Victoria's Poker, the one that is most redefining is the MAC compatibility of the software. Victoria's offers both Windows and Macintosh versions of their software, but regardless of what operating system you run, you'll still be able to play at a table with anyone in the room. Mac players play against Windows players as simply as when playing against other Mac users- true cross-platform technology.

Biography / CV of Ebitenyefa BaralayeEbitenyefa Baralaye was born in Lagos, Nigeria, spent his early childhood living in the Caribbean and later moved to the United States. In the US he discovered an early affinity for drawing that was soon supported by the admiration and study of a range of master artists from Michelangelo to Picasso.

Artist Statement of Ebitenyefa BaralayeI create objects to capture and evoke the layered immaterial elements affecting humanity, existence and personal identity. I focus on abstraction as the mode of expression in my work because of its universal diversity and potential for drawing associations of deep subjective specificity. I source and collage a range of mediums and influences directed loosely by my governing concerns and impulses. Through the techniques of sculpting, assembling and layering/blending I aim to create faithful translations, in physical form, of the arrayed output of my mental and emotional perspectives.

I'm going to come clean and admit that there are many occasions during my practice when I experience yoga resentment. Have you?
If you've ever shown up at a class after a rough day at work, but you walked out feeling more grisly then before, you may have experienced yoga resentment. You thought that a dose of spirituality would help you rebalance your zen––so what happened?
You might have looked around the room and discovered that everyone was wearing the latest designer yoga pants and matching tank, while you had on some unflattering, baggy T-shirt from the early 90s, and unattractive shorts. Maybe you noticed the girl in the front row that executes every position perfectly, while you struggled every step of the way. Or that guy over there, who always shows off his Pigeon Pose, or those girls laughing in the back row... Wait, why are they laughing?!
Does any of that sound familiar to you?
It happens to me all the time… And being a yoga instructor, I also sometimes manage to hate on the yoga teacher myself. Why is she/he saying that? Why are we doing this posture that way? What is that ridiculous lotus tattoo on their foot?
Yeah, that's me, and I'm willing to admit it. Because self-awareness is half the battle. And not admitting to it means that it'll just end up eating you away on the inside.
So here are the five steps I take to overcome yoga resentment:
1. Leave your ego at the door.
I once had a yoga teacher who would tell her students to leave their ego at the door. It took me a long time to figure out what she meant (it might seem an easy concept, but it can be very challenging when actually put into practice).
Essentially it means, you're not your expensive yoga outfit, your mala beads, nor your perfect Tree Pose. Leave that all at the door when you walk through it––your appearance, your day, and your thoughts. Walk on in there like a newborn baby, free from inhibitions and baggage. You might even want to imagine yourself setting down an actual bag of physical/emotional content at the door.
2. Give the door a symbolic context.
It's a threshold you're walking through––taking you to a different place where you are a different person. It's a portal to your practice and highest self. Once you step over that invisible line in the sand, you are no longer the person you were before you walked into the studio.
3. Listen!
When in the room, only listen to the teacher's words. Research tells us that we're only able to remember 25 to 50 percent of what people tell us within a ten minute conversation. That means, we were only listening, at best, half the time. It's a staggering statistic!
When you're in a yoga class, try to listen carefully to everything the yoga teacher is saying. This will allow you to go deeper into your practice, and hear new things about each asana which you might not previously have noticed. Not to mention, listening carefully will also keep you from focusing on unwanted distractions around the room (like the grunt from the gentleman next to you when he transitions from plank to Chaturanga).
4. Focus only on yourself.
Lean toward complete introspection in the yoga room. That means try not to look at anyone else in the room. If there's a mirror in front of you, only look at yourself. If there's no mirror, find a drishti (focal point) within the room and look at that. The focal point is not a person, unless of course one of the boys from One Direction or Lady Gaga has chanced upon your Bikram class today … then, it's sort of warranted. (This would usually be followed by a wink emoticon.)
5. Yoga is not about the perfection of the pose.
Always remember yoga is not about how awesome your Warrior II is. You might have perfect form, but your mental form is far from perfect. What you're really working on in the yoga room is the union between your purusha (pure consciousness) and prakriti (the physical form). Yoga is about the unseen, intangible elements of your practice. Don't forget it!
Yoga is about the journey… Your journey toward finding the inner you. Nobody else is on it with you. Have fun with your practice, and kick that yoga resentment to the curb!

Turned away in a crisis
New Zealand's suicide rate spiked again last year and those on the frontline - parents, friends and health workers - say more help is needed to prevent deaths.
Shining a light on the mental health system
Journalist Jess McAllen writes about the challenges she faced during her investigation and the reaction to her stories for #MentalHealthMatters.
Mental health patients are being locked up when they shouldn't be
Mental health services are supposed to avoid locking patients up in isolation - also known as seclusion. But it still happens.
An anarchist with a death wish
Suicide bombing is seen by most New Zealanders as a terrorist act that happens overseas. But 33 years ago, an anarchist punk blew himself up trying to destroy "New Zealand's Big Brother".
