|What made the Sahara Desert go dry -- and is there any water there left to be found? Writing in the journal Science, a team of researchers reports this week that they believe that the drying of the Sahara was not a sudden event, but rather took place over some 6000 years. The researchers looked at sediment samples taken from cores drilled in the bottom of Lake Yoa, one of the Sahara's few remaining lakes. The sediment layers at the bottom of the lake show a gradual change, the researchers say, involving a gradual reduction in the abundance of tropical vegetation, followed by the loss of grass cover, and the eventual establishment of the modern desert plant community. Arid conditions similar to those today were in place as much as 2700 years ago, the team found. We'll talk with one of the authors of the controversial study, which counters several previous findings indicating a more sudden change in conditions in the Sahara. We'll also talk about whether the ancient waters of the Sahara remain hidden under the desert -- and, if so, what can be done to locate them.

Russia continues to tighten restrictions on political opponents of President Vladimir Putin, who approved a law last week allowing treason charges against anyone who possesses state secrets.
One such dissident, Pavel Stroilov, is a Russian historian living in London after he stole more than 50,000 secret Kremlin documents from the Gorbachev Foundation in 2003. He edited a book with Alexander Litvinenko, a critic of Putin who was poisoned in London in 2006.
Stroilov's latest book is called "Behind the Desert Storm: A Secret Archive Stolen from the Kremlin that Sheds New Light on the Arab revolutions in the Middle East." He recently sat down with The Daily Caller's Ginni Thomas.
One of the documents he obtained showed that a 1979 U.S. Senate delegation, led by Joe Biden, assured Soviet Union negotiators that the United States was bluffing when it expressed concerns over human rights of USSR dissidents during the Cold War.
In the interview, Stroilov alleged a Soviet connection with al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and discussed President Barack Obama's foreign policy, the facade of the Arab Spring, whether Russia remains a threat to the United States and how modern-day Russia silences dissidents.

Back in my junior year of high school I was given an assignment to write a research paper and present an argument on whether or not I felt the war in Iraq would be another Vietnam.
I wrote a paper, with the main argument being: "Yes, the war will be mismanaged, the public will turn sour on the operation, and America will leave Iraq in shambles resulting in the destabilization of the region." I was told I missed the point; which I found funny considering I did the most research and answered the question. It turned into a typical left vs right debate and I believe it remained that for the remainder of American involvement. That was about 13 years ago now.
I've started looking back at region and The War On Terror in general and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts? Of course I'd like to offer mine up front and not cheat you.
I believe my paper was, for the short term; accurate. However one thing I didn't anticipate was that we'd eventually adapt to this change; and support the war through other means. Arab countries have picked up much of the slack in fighting ISIS, and so far it's been fairly successful. Whether this will come back and bite us in the long run is to be determined; we all know how that played out in the past.
It's also been interesting to see our shift in allies; we support groups affiliated with the PKK which has enraged our NATO ally Turkey; and we've even opened up to Iran, more so than I ever thought. I'm trying to get more up on this matter especially; it could be that we're now shifting allies to adapt to a changing environment.
I'm curious as to the opinions of others here. Do you think we're seeing a shift in allies because the region is changing and we're attempting to re-position ourselves. Do you think the conflicts in the Middle East are progressing well, what are you thoughts on our fight against ISIS? Do you believe our strategy of supplying and assisting Arab forces on the ground is an appropriate strategy for the conflict? I'm positive on all of these.

About the Author
Read an Excerpt
College life was off the chain! At least that's the way it seemed as I looked out across the courtyard of Prairie View A&M University. Everywhere people were laughing, talking and just hanging out. Most of the students were watching the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity do an impromptu step show.
Our recruiting guide said it was called "Hump Day on the Hill," a time when all the students come together, dance, listen to music and meet and greet. They even had a deejay showcasing his newest music.
"It's the midpoint of the week, and we like to celebrate to help us get through the week," our tour guide, a petite, pretty, brown-skinned girl named Lauren, said. She was leading us and about twenty other students. "We do it every week except finals and dead week." The girl turned to smile at Miss Rachel, the sponsor of the Good Girlz, our community service organization. Miss Rachel had arranged this campus tour after I, and the other four Good Girlz—Camille, Alexis, Jasmine and Tyeesha—expressed interest in visiting again. We'd come here two months ago, and I think all of us were sold on coming to this college after we graduated in a few months. "And don't worry, it's not all fun and games," Lauren added, "we wrap up Hump Day on the Hill with a prayer or a spiritual song."
Miss Rachel nodded in approval. Personally, the prayer was all good, but I just needed to see all the groups of people mingling to know I'd made the right decision—Prairie View was my first choice. We had all applied after our first visit, when we'd come to the campus for a Girls, Inc. conference. So far, none of us had received acceptance letters, but I knew after today, we all wanted to go here now more than ever.
"Girls, you all enjoy the show. I'm going to run inside to the rest room," Miss Rachel told us.
We waved as she walked off, then quickly turned our attention back to a fraternity everybody called the Que Dogs, who were stepping in gold boots and had dog collars around their necks. Their show was pretty entertaining. Then, out of nowhere, we heard this deep male voice: "So, you ladies enjoying the tour?"
I looked up to see the cutest guy I'd ever seen in my life. He was about six feet tall, sandpaper-brown with deep dimples and a head full of curly hair.
"We are," Camille said, immediately coming forward to shake his hand. Camille Harris was the boy-crazy one of the group. She batted her eyelashes at him and my heart sank. That meant she was about to get her flirt on, so he'd be off limits to me. Not that he'd want me anyway. I was the shy one out of the five of us. I'd been told I was cute—this one guy even said I looked like a younger version of Shakira—but I also had one giant drawback: I had a two-year-old daughter. These college boys wouldn't want anyone with kids. Shoot, I couldn't buy a date at my high school because nobody wanted a girlfriend who had a kid by someone else.
"That's nice," the guy said to Camille. "I'm Rico. My friends call me R-Train." As he adjusted his backpack on his shoulder, his smile made my stomach flutter. He had on a PV T-shirt and some tan cargo shorts.
"And I'm Camille." She pointed at us. "These are my friends, Jasmine, Alexis, Tyeesha and Angel."
We all waved, except for Jasmine. She was being her usual grouchy self. She'd been complaining about how hot it was, even though I could tell she was enjoying the campus tour. For her, going to college would be a huge step up for her whole family.
Rico reached out as if he was trying to take Camille's hand. She smiled coyly as she eased toward him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you . . ." Rico stepped around Camille and took my hand. ". . . Angel. Is that what she said it was?"
My eyes widened in shock. Jasmine and Tyeesha busted out laughing. Embarrassment covered Camille's face, but Rico didn't seem to notice.
"So, where are you ladies from?" he asked, still holding on to my hand.
"Umm, we're from . . . ah, we're from Madison H—"
Alexis immediately cut me off. "We're from Houston. Just checking out the school." She shot me the evil eye. I'd forgotten our pact that we weren't going to tell anyone that we were still in high school during our tour. I didn't see what the big deal was, though. Everyone on the tour was from a high school.
"Houston?" He nodded. "So, you're right down the road?"
I couldn't get a word out of my mouth. I couldn't do anything but nod back.
"So that means, if I wanted to see you again, I would only have a forty-five-minute drive." He looked at me like we were the only two people standing in the courtyard.
"Yeah, um . . . w-we . . ." I couldn't believe I was acting like I was a blubbering fool. He would think I was so lame.
Jasmine, who thankfully knew how shy I was, stepped to my aid.
"What makes you think she wants to see you again?" she said, prying his hand off mine. I was glad she was smiling so at least she wouldn't scare him off. At six feet tall, with an athletic build, it wasn't anything for Jasmine to act bold.
"I don't know if she does want to see me. But I'd really like to see her again," he said, still staring at me.
I was completely speechless. And for once, so was Jasmine. I think she was waiting on him to run some type of game, but when he didn't—he just stood there looking at me with those piercing gray eyes—she didn't know what to say.
"Seriously, I think you're beautiful," he told me. "And no, I don't know anything about you. You might be a serial killer." He broke out in a big smile. "But I sure would like to get to know you."
"So you know that you'd like to know her even though you don't even know her?" Alexis asked, her hands planted firmly on her hips.
We all turned to stare at her. For all of her money (Alexis came from a filthy-rich family) she couldn't buy a decent line. My girl was corny as all get out.
"Actually, I do," Rico said, not looking the least bit confused.
"Well, handle your business then," Tyeesha said, stepping up and playfully pushing his shoulder. Although she was the newest one to the Good Girlz, she had fit right in. Her joking kind of broke the tense mood and we all laughed.
"Why don't you let me give you a private tour?" Rico said, gently taking my hand again and pulling me toward him.
Jasmine snatched me back. "I don't think so, Brother Man. You could be the serial killer."
He laughed, nodding in agreement. "You're right. I wasn't thinking." He dug in his backpack and pulled out a piece of paper. "Let me give you my cell phone number. I live here on campus, but it's nothing for me to swoop down to Houston and pick you up. So give me a call. Maybe we can get to know each other over the phone—first. Then you can let me give you that private tour."
"Unh-unh," Jasmine said, wagging her finger. "Ain't gon' be no private tours. We don't know you like that."
"That's why I'm giving her the number." He scribbled his digits on a piece of paper, then handed it to me. "So she can get to know me like that." He winked. "Angel, I await your call." He blew me a kiss before walking off.
I tried to keep it together so I didn't appear to be a total loser, but I wanted to jump up and down and do a happy dance. I wasn't even in college yet, and already my life was looking up.
"Girl, you better call him," Camille said, genuinely excited for me.
I had thought she was going to be bothered since he'd dissed her. "You don't want him?" I asked. Yes, he was cute, but the one thing the Good Girlz didn't do was talk to someone else's man.
Camille waved me off. "Please, you know how I do. I was just flirting. Besides," she said, playfully wiggling her neck, "even if I did want him, he obviously only has eyes for you."
"Who was that?" We all looked up to see Miss Rachel peering in the direction where Rico had walked off.
"That's about to be Angel's new man," Alexis sang. "They call him R-Train."
"Like the subway?" Miss Rachel asked, shaking her head. She didn't wait for anyone to answer as she wagged her finger our way. "What have I told you girls? You don't need to be worried about any boys, men, or anything else."
"Oh, Miss Rachel, it's human nature," Camille joked.
"I got your human nature," she replied. "I told you where having boys on the brain will land you." Yet Miss Rachel had admitted before that, like Camille, she used to be boy crazy as a teen and she'd had more than her share of trouble behind it. She'd started the Good Girlz after marrying a preacher and deciding she wanted to keep teenage girls from making the same mistakes that she'd made.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Camille said, albeit respectfully. We'd all heard this speech before.
"Angel got his number and everything," Tyeesha added cheerfully.
"How old is that boy?" Miss Rachel said, frowning.
We all shrugged.
"I don't know," I finally said. "It's not like we got into a whole bunch of details."
"Well, he looks old to me," Miss Rachel said.
"I'm not even thinking about him," I said, wanting to get the spotlight off me. I had every intention of calling Rico. I just didn't want Miss Rachel all up in my business. It wasn't every day that someone as cute as Rico showed an interest in me. And I was at the point in my life when I was ready to show him some interest right back. I mean, I was graduating in two months, and I didn't even have anyone I could take to the senior party, the biggest event of our senior year. I was hoping this guy named Lucas would ask, but so far he hadn't.
"Good," Miss Rachel said. "I didn't bring you all up here to this school to pick up guys." She looked over at our tour guide Lauren, who was saying good-bye to everyone. "Well, girls, the tour has wrapped up. Dr. Breyer would like to meet with you ladies in her office."
That announcement surprised all of us. We made our way back across the campus to the vice president's office. I wondered why we were going to see her, but Miss Rachel was moving so fast I couldn't really ask any questions.
"She doesn't have anything to do with admissions," Miss Rachel said, seeming to read my mind, "but her husband and my husband play golf together. So she wanted to meet you personally."
We entered an old brick building and stepped inside a nicely decorated office. A large photo of a panther hung on the wall, surrounded by photos of happy-looking college kids. The furniture looked worn, but the whole office seemed very student-friendly.
The secretary ushered us into a back office and we all took a seat around Dr. Breyer's large oak desk. She greeted us with an enthusiastic smile. A tall, pretty woman with a warm and friendly face, she reminded me more of a grandmother than a vice president of a college.
After some brief introductions, she said, "Well, girls, I don't have much time, because I have to get to a meeting, but I am so proud of what Rachel has done with the program and I wanted to personally give you these."
We all looked confused as she handed each of us an envelope. We turned them over, not sure what to do. Miss Rachel stood in the background, grinning like crazy.
I was the first one who tore into mine, and I instantly saw the word "Congratulations." "Oh, wow," I said. Camille, Jasmine, Alexis and Tyeesha all ripped theirs open and they, too, squealed in delight.
"Yes, congratulations are in order," Dr. Breyer said. "Prairie View A&M University would be honored if you all would attend."
"We've been accepted?" Tyeesha asked.
"Like there was ever any doubt," Alexis put in.
"Maybe not for you," Jasmine replied. Alexis was a brainiac, but the rest of us struggled from time to time.
"Of course, acceptance is contingent upon all of you actually graduating," Dr. Breyer said. "But judging from the look of your records, that should be no problem."
Jasmine looked like she wanted to ask a question but decided against it.
"Thank you," we all said together.
"No, thank you, ladies. Our president, Dr. Wrightman, wants to meet each of you in person, and I look forward to a personal relationship with each one of you as well," Dr. Breyer said.
"Lorraine, thank you so much," Miss Rachel said. "You don't know how much this means to myself and the girls."
"Yes, it means a lot," I said. I couldn't believe I was going to college. My mom had already said she would keep my daughter, Angelica, because she wanted me to further my education. But the reality that I might really get to go hadn't set in until just now.
"Well, we need to get back down the road." Miss Rachel stood up. "I want to get the girls home before it gets too dark."
We all shook Dr. Breyer's hand, and practically floated out of the room. I couldn't wait to get home and tell my mom. I would be the first person in my family to go to college, so I was definitely excited. Plus, I had met a cute college boy who gave me his number. Well, things couldn't get any better than that.

A Redondo Beach woman repeatedly shocked in her shower due to stray electricity has been awarded $4 million by a Los Angeles County jury, according to her attorney.
Southern California Edison was ordered pay $1.05 million in compensatory damages and $3 million punitive damages to Simona Wilson, the jury ruled Tuesday.
Wilson and her three children were living in a home on Knob Hill Avenue next to an Edison substation when she was first shocked, her attorney Lars Johnson said. The residence was originally built by the utility to rent to its employees, Johnson said.
The stray electricity allegedly left her with nerve damage in her hands and feet, according to her attorney.
"She started feeling tingling in her shower head and discovered she had electricity on it," Johnson said.
Although doctors were unable to link the stray electricity to Wilson's alleged injuries, an independent home inspector told her to "get out" immediately, according to her attorney.
"There was no combustion, but sure as heck, it's a concern when you have gas lines when you're living in a home like that with three children," Johnson said.
Wilson eventually lost the house to foreclosure.
Edison said in a statement that it made sufficient efforts to address Wilson's problem and the award is inconsistent with the evidence presented in court. The utility said it is disappointed and still deciding whether to appeal:
"SCE provided considerable engineering and other testimony during the trial that refuted the claims made by Wilson. SCE believes its response to the concerns raised by Wilson regarding her home located near SCE's Topaz Substation and its efforts to address those concerns were appropriate. The company also has cooperated fully with the investigation conducted by the Safety and Enforcement Division of the California Public Utilities Commission."
Johnson said other homes in the area have also been affected by stray electricity.
"The whole neighborhood is involved. People have moved out. There are other lawsuits. It's a big deal," Johnson said.

Nostalgia: Best Left in the Past?
For me, I would rather leave Vanilla WoW as a fond memory. The quality of living in WoW has gotten so much better over the years that it is ridiculous.
Vanilla WoW was great back then because we were all new to it. It was a huge new world to explore, and we were all making our way through at our own pace.
Vanilla WoW was far from perfect. I even stopped playing it for a couple of months as I became frustrated with some of the issues I was having. Granted, I was a noob, but thing could be quite difficult and unforgiving.
Here are some of my issues with Vanilla WoW that have since been addressed.
1) My Warrior sucked. Perhaps I was just bad, but I seemingly had to eat after every single mob I killed. If I accidentally aggroed more that one mob, I was more than likely going to die. I had no AOE. I am pretty sure I could Heroic strike....and that was about it. I also went through a lot of potions.
2) Mounts were fucking expensive: Not only did you not get your first mount until level 40, it was also very expensive. I seem to remember the level 40 mount costing around 100g and the level 60 epic riding costing around 600g. That may not seem like much these days, but that is a metric shit ton of gold in Vanilla terms. I think that the most gold I ever had during Vanilla was around 300. I was perpetually broke.
3) Quests sucked to find: These days, you can see quests on the map and mini map, there is a quest helper to quickly guide you along, and there are nice little bread crumbs to send you on to the next area. Back then, there was none of that. You did not know where quests were the first time through. You did not know what hub to go to next. You did not even know what zone to go to next. It made for a lot of exploring, which was cool at the time. I think I would find it to be annoying now.
4) You had to run to instances: There was no group finder function. I think that there was a time where you had no summoning stone either. You had to run your ass to whatever instance, and that caused a lot of content (especially on Kalimdor) to go unused.
5) Ground Mounts Only and no free flight points: You could not fly. There were no flying mounts until BC. You also had to discover all of the flight points. They did not unlock as you leveled. That is a recent developement, but it has been a very welcome one. It saves on time.
5) Leveling was slow....fucking slow: It took forever to level back in Vanilla. I had a friend with 5 level 60s and I dont know how the hell he did it. It took me 16 days /played to get to level 60. These days it will take half of that or less to get to level 90. There were no heirlooms.
To me, the game has gotten so much better than Vanilla WoW. I loved my time in Vanilla, but I could never even imagine wanting to go back to it. Broken classes and poor questing were just a couple of the issues that would drive people crazy these days. Back then, Paladins were so bad that people did not want them in the raid group except to be a buff bot. Paladin buffs lasted 5 minutes and you had to put each one on individually. Paladin seals lasted under a minute if I remember correctly.
I would never want to go back.
6 comments:
I like that a lot of what you put down as negatives I... well, I didn't call them out as good things, but I mentioned them as part of the environment of six years ago.
But part of this is me. I am a strong believer in knowing the history of something to understand why things are the way they are now. Nothing is in a vacuum, detached from outside influence.
And, of course, as I have said the past, our regular group has fond memories of WoW, but Cataclysm made things so easy for us that we stopped playing because it got dull just beating everything on the first go.
Such is life.
I am not at all advocating a return to the days before running water, but sometimes I find it interesting to explore how that impacts somebody's day to day existence.

Yep, there were no sparklies to show you where quest items were back then, you just had to stumble upon them.
I remember getting to Silithus at level 59 and thinking it was the worst zone ever - horribly powerful elite mobs that didn't drop anything, and quests that required you to kill hundreds of said mobs.

I did Heroic SM this weekend and when I pulled the mobs in the open courtyard and then used LOS to pull them back one of the party member's commented "Ah the lost Art of Pull", it then proceeded to us talking about WOW vanilla and BC. Heck we even talked about 10-15 manning scholomace and stratlehome back in the day.

The one thing I miss about vanilla is the leveling. You categorize it as slow, but keep in mind that there were 60 levels as opposed to the 5 that recent expansions have given us.
I really liked the slower leveling. It made each level a mini-achievement. I remember that each of us would say "Ding!" in guild chat at each new level. Also, each level brought new spells and abilities and new zones to explore.
In today's game, leveling is seen as just a speed bump on the way to the level cap. I think that's a shame.

I started playing WoW a few months after launch, I remember getting to level 10 and it being a huge achievement,in fact I think I kinda felt proud of it. I remember getting to level 20, spending my Gold on training for my warlock's pet then not having the 87 silver to fly somewhere, stating it in trade and a level 60 gave me a gold, and that was the most I had really had at that time. I remember doing my warlock mount quest at 60, farming for hours in the plaguelands to get enough gold to pay for my mount as the quest got more expensive, and getting the mount and being one of a limited amount of people to actually have epic riding on my server.
Do I miss the challenges that WoW had in Vanilla? Hell yeah, it felt like something was being earned. Would I go back to it now? No, simply because I did it all. I did my time with getting mounts at 40 and 60 respectively, I did my time taking forever to get to max level. It gets to a point where you want change because it is about evolution of the game, and I like the changes, despite it being more "lazy".
- October 9, 2012 at 7:02 PM
"The quality of living in WoW has gotten so much better over the years that it is RIDICULOUS." (emphasis mine)
You nailed it.
Even without heirlooms, the leveling speed and overall difficulty has swung so far to the other side of the scale that it is dizzying.
When was the last time you died to anything outside of instanced content? Me? I can't remember to be completely honest.
My Annual Pass will be expiring on the 21st -- and I don't think I'll even notice.

Progress continues on our project Model A pickup, being built around a brand-new, stretched '28-29 body manufactured by Kelvin Waddington's company, Nostalgia Speed and Cycle.
Having recently installed a heater in the truck, we wanted to keep that precious heat inside the cab by installing windows. And when the weather's warm we can count on those windows to roll up and down effortlessly without wrestling with the glass.
Since it is not an original vehicle, the pickup had no original windows or window mechanisms to remove and replace. Kelvin Waddington was at the STREET RODDER tech center to oversee the installation of a new Door Glass Window Channel Run Kit from Vintique Inc. The Vintique package comes complete with all the parts needed to finish the job, including a tube of adhesive. In other words, everything except the windows themselves. The glass on the Model A is single-sheet, solid-tempered glass, available through Nostalgia Speed and Cycle.
You'll notice from these photographs that the pickup is still in primer. There's no better time during the buildup to install the hardware and test-fit the glass. Waddington took his own advice and performed this test installation prior to paint. Once the truck is painted we can do the final installation without having to worry about damaging the paint.

Smoking is not only a physical addiction but a psychological addiction (used as a coping mechanism) and habit (reinforcement through repetition). Many people who have successfully quit smoking say that they found it helpful to understand their individual smoking habit. They learned about why and when they smoked before developing strategies for coping. You probably haven't spent much time thinking about your own smoking habit, but you can start now by looking at the times, places and moods that influence when you reach for a cigarette.
Why do I smoke?
Using a rating scale of 1 to 5 (1 = never, 2 = sometimes, 3 = often, 4 = very frequently, and 5 = always), answer the following questions:
- Smoking gives me an energy boost. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- I find smoking pleasurable and relaxing.%5F%5F%5F%5F
- I like holding a cigarette in my hand. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- Smoking is something I seem to do automatically. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- I smoke when I feel upset. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- I smoke when I feel that I'm starting to slow down. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- I enjoy the process of lighting up a cigarette. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- I smoke when I'm stressed out. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- It almost feels like torture when I can't smoke. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- I find cigarettes enjoyable. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- Sometimes I light up a new cigarette before I even finish the one that's in the ashtray. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- I'm very aware of when I need a cigarette. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- Smoking perks up my mood. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- I enjoy exhaling smoke. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- I tend to smoke more when I'm relaxed. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- Sometimes I'm not even aware that I have a cigarette in my mouth. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- I seem to crave a cigarette when I haven't had one for a while. %5F%5F%5F%5F
- I smoke when I feel sad or want to forget something painful. %5F%5F%5F%5F
Your score
Total your scores on the following groups of questions. Your highest scores will show you which aspects of smoking are the most problematic for you, so that you can develop alternatives.
Your total score on questions 1, 6, and 13 %5F%5F%5F%5F%5F%5F Stimulation : You feel that smoking gives you energy and keeps you moving. You need to find energy-boosting alternatives such as regular exercise, walking, running or playing a sport.
Your total score on questions 3, 7, and 14 %5F%5F%5F%5F%5F%5F Fidgeting, handling, process : You enjoy the process of smoking and having something in your hand. Instead of a cigarette, hold a pen or a fake cigarette, or squeeze a rubber ball.
Your total score on questions 4, 11, and 16 %5F%5F%5F%5F%5F%5F Routine : Cigarettes are primarily a habit for you. You need to develop more awareness of each cigarette you smoke. Breaking the habit aspect of smoking is probably one of the easiest parts.
Your total score on questions 5, 8, and 18 %5F%5F%5F%5F%5F%5F Stress reduction : You look to cigarettes to relieve tension and provide comfort. You need alternative coping/stress-reduction methods such as exercise, writing in a journal, talking to a friend, or expressing your feelings assertively. See Stress Center .
Your total score on questions 2, 10, and 15 %5F%5F%5F%5F%5F%5F Pleasure : You enjoy it for the simple pleasure. Try some alternative sources of pleasure: a bubble bath, massage, or hobby.
Your total score on questions 9, 12, and 17 %5F%5F%5F%5F%5F%5F Addiction : Physical and psychological addiction. This is the most difficult obstacle to overcome. A combination of quitting strategies and nicotine replacement therapy can help.

What is new, Mindtrap?
Thanks for the rep!
I know you are on my FB. I am much more active there though. These days it just makes me sad though. Too much negativity there....
Pleasure! I am missing ODN sometimes.
Good points. I think Frank ran from the argument. His position was poorly thought out and he was denying his presuppositions at the same time affirming them, IMO.
Thank you for your support yet once again!
Thank you, MindTrap!
also, you seem to be living out a dream of the wife and i, traveling the country. tipped cow is out there some where with a park, and good bbq.
quick point about tipping. i was a waiter at two different restaurants over 4 years. one a full service middle to upper class place, the other a buffet. at both places, i was tipped the most when i first started, with tips dwindling till i had to quit. this not only by me, but all waiters. the first was because the resturant was becoming older, and a lot of new places opened up. the second was because we had a bunch if regulars, that would eat once or twice a week. that decrease was fulled by being too busy and slowly pissing everyone off because they got poor service. the attitude that drove this goes like this. "he gave me bad service last time/that one time, thus i will not tip him again/as much". also a buffet has a larger % if people who don't tip to begin with. point is, there is an apparent downward trend in tipping that seems typical for the industry.

Gizmos & Gadgets & Recipe: Baked Almond Snapper
It's a GoWear Fit, a gadget attached to an armband that you wear constantly, so that it can use its fancy computer to approximate your caloric output for the day. I'm using it mainly for fun, to find out how many calories (excluding waste and futile cycles and the metabolic advantage of glucogenesis, etc) I'm using per day. I was hoping for an explanation of how I could have lost fat consistently when I first tried the all-meat diet despite consuming an average of 2400kcal per day! Well, it's still a bit of a mystery, since my average result via the GoWear Fit is that I use up around 2100-2200kcal per day. Dr. Michael R. Eades does suggest that the metabolic advantage achieved through high-protein/low-carb diets is only in the vicinity of 100-300kcal per day... So unless my body has to work extra hard to convert protein into glucose when I starve my body of dietary glucose, I'm amazed I was breaking even, let alone causing a deficit. The GWF is correct to about 10% either way, so it's possible the average is still currently skewed, since I've only been wearing it for a week, so I'll keep tracking while my free month of online access lasts, and see how my average turns out...
Meanwhile, I've been trying to hide the gadget under my clothes, so I've been going for longer sleeved-shirts, rather than my usual cap sleeves, but the weather has turned back to hot and humid! Plus, the gizmo beeps when it loses contact with the skin, and somehow it manages to do this on occasion whilst I'm wearing it. Having your arm beep in the middle of teaching is just a leeeetle awkward... The painful part of the process is that the gadget is practically useless without buying a subscription to use the software/website - you can gather the data, but not view it! If it were free, I'd only wear the gadget occasionally, but to get the most out of the trial, I'm compelled to wear the band every day, working my wardrobe around it. Bring on cooler weather!
As much as I don't like thinking about calories whilst I'm eating (checking at the end of the day when I check my macro-nutrient breakdown), since it can interfere with my connection to satiety, knowing approximately how many calories one is burning per day makes it hard not to want to know exactly how many calories is in each meal, to make sure to manage a deficit... And this is even though I know that it's not as simple as calories in = calories out (burned/stored).
At least I won't have to worry about calories tomorrow - I'm going for my first complete day fast! I've eaten a big dinner this evening, and now I won't eat anything tomorrow (a decision primarily driven by my hectic schedule tomorrow - there's no time to eat!), until breakfast the following day! The fast will be just over 34 hours... I'm excited, though I may carry a bit of coconut oil just in case my energy flags to levels that mean I can't get through my responsibilities tomorrow...
Here's most of the food that has been keeping me going for the past few days (I keep forgetting to take photos!):
I skipped breakfast as the beau & I headed off to the Queen Victoria Market for fresh fish. Salmon, oysters, rockling, and tropical snapper - yum! After running a few other errands, we returned home and I put together a little plate of raw salmon and oysters in lemon juice.
Then I got cracking on dinner - two Toulouse sausages from Jonathan's, plus a small serve of the beef curry I made for the beau, plus a taste of sauerkraut - my first taste! Wow, so sour/sweet! Perfect with the beef curry - even better than cauliflower rice!
After a big sleep-in, I whipped up a generous fry-up for the beau & my breakfast: bacon, Jonathan's Bespoke Breakfast Sausages, and an egg/lox scramble
Later, it was time to get fancy with a massive piece of tropical snapper we picked up at the market:
Recipe: Baked Almond Snapper
Huge slab o' tropical snapper (or any kind of snapper, or white fish)
1/4 cup almond flour
A bevy of dried herbs and spices (mine: cumin, parsley, basil, paprika, and sage)
1 egg
1/4 cup coconut oil
1. Place fish fillet, skin side down, in a greased baking dish.
2. Whip egg in a small bowl, and brush/drizzle egg over the top of the fillet.
3. Mix almond meal/flour and herbs & spices in a small bowl, and sprinkle over fillet until completely covered.
4. Drizzle oil carefully over the coated fillet, taking care not to wash away the almond flour.
5. Bake in a moderate oven (160degC) for 30 minutes, until coating is golden and fish flakes apart when cut.
Serve immediately, to rave review!
Decided to skip breakfast and lunch, so this rack of lamb, with its generous layers of fat, certainly hit the spot!
Started my day with Toulouse sausages and fried eggs, cooking extra snags to take to work for lunch. However, I ended up eating them at recess, resulting in a 8 hour fast between brunch and dinner - very nice!
Then for dinner, I had a few bitsy pre-fast meals, starting with an organic beef steakette (tastier than the photo would suggest), plus some scrambled eggs with Camembert for a luxe treat! I also had smoked salmon, as well as a few macadamia nuts to get my fat intake up. Hope that fibre won't cause any issues!
Wish me luck for my big fast - here's hoping the 'worst' that I experience is keto-breath!

I have one and I LOVE it. It's really helped me to realize why low-carb / high fat diets work for me - satiety.
It also has the added benefit of really getting me to walk more and do more strength training.
It's the perfect little gizmo if you're a bit competitive (like me)!

Oh I just read about that gadget! Is it really that accurate?

Good luck on the whole day fast! I have personally done plenty of 24 hour fasts, but am still yet to attempt not eating for a whole calendar day. I will be interested to see how it goes.. personally I think that if you are keeping busy you will be able to do it with ease!
Pity you have to subscribe to use the software to calculate the calories.. Does the GoWear become useless without the subscription or can you retrieve the data some other way?

Thanks for the comments! It's definitely a fun gadget to play with, even if it has to become part of your life. It's easy enough to forget about, though, if you're not in public or you can hide it under clothes (rather than explain it to others who ask when they see it).

Yes, you need the online (or via software) activity manager unless you buy the data display (another $100 or so), which isn't nearly as clear and comprehensive. It would be cheaper to buy a year's subscription than buy the display. After a month, I'm pretty confident I'll have a good grasp on how many calories I burn on an average day, and I can use that to work out the other calories that are used up through futile cycling and other metabolic advantages posed by VLC/ZC.
I really enjoy a good 24 hour fast, from dinner to dinner. So far this longer fast is going well, though I'm starting to taste oddness... Makes me a little concerned for choir practice, when I'll be singing/breathing in close proximity to others!

taste oddness?? Ketones perhaps?
Also forgot to ask where you purchase your coconut oil from?
So far I have only perused the local Woolies, so haven't looked too extensively. I did ask someone at one point, but they had no idea what I was talking about.

Of course. I'm very well versed in the flavours of ketosis ;) I just have to remind myself that it's just a taste, not an actual stench. I hate bad breath with a passion, so it's hard for me to remember that others can't smell what I taste!
I order my coconut oil online, and am currently trialling three brands since my old go-to brand isn't that great straight off the spoon. I really like Nutiva, and have vetoed Niu (although they make a great coconut oil lip balm). I've bought but have yet to try Nui coconut oil. I love how all the names are so similar - I'm sure there's an etymological explanation behind it... Language geek :)
