Wesley studied the portrait of the fierce looking vamp. “And you believe Cordelia’s vision was warning us of this particular vampire?” Wesley asked as he studied Angel’s meticulous etching of the fierce looking vamp.
“He does look like an imposing figure.” Wesley commented, handing the likeness to Gunn.
Andre waited patiently as Aslan drained the last drop from his dinner. He was in awe. He was so lucky to have a master such as Aslan. Someone who could truly appreciate him for what he was.
As a human he had been so alone. No one understood him or appreciated any of his many talents. It had been such a futile existence, looking for that special someone, capturing one young girl after another, bestowing upon her all of his gifts, loving and caring for her so affectionately and ultimately adding her to his collection.
None of them appreciated the pain he could offer or the art that their death would make in the end. They were all so ungrateful. He had selected each one so carefully, making them famous in the process. He should have been admired instead of incarcerated.
“If he is wearing the ring, he is invincible. We would stand no chance of success that way.”
“We’re working on it,” he whispered as he began rubbing her temples. He couldn’t explain why he suddenly felt that such an intimate gesture, as small as it was, was acceptable now. It was as if their earlier declarations had given him the permission slip he needed to love her. He saw her open her eyes, knowing that even though she stared directly at him, she couldn’t make out his features.
Concealed and comforted by the darkness, he began his confession, “I’m sorry I hurt you. I never meant to. I let myself slip so far, and when I tried to come back, that night at the hospital, you told me that …” He could see her open her mouth to speak and touched her lips with his finger.
He closed his eyes, waiting for her to respond, to say that she had made a mistake this morning when she told Lorne about her feelings for him. Cordelia didn’t say a word. She simply sat up and leaned toward him. Slowly, she wrapped her arms around him and quietly sobbed into his shoulder.
She nodded her answer against his shoulder, making him hold her even tighter. He closed his eyes and buried his face in the crook of her neck, promising himself that he would never have to ask her that question again.
The medicine had helped quite a bit, but Cordelia still couldn’t wait for the relief that taking care of her vision would bring. She wasn’t sure how long she had been sleeping, or exactly when Angel had left the room, but when shny, she realized it had been longer than she thought.
She leaned against the ledge and closed her eyes. The cool night air brought chill bumps to her skin and soothed the dull headache that still took up residence in her head.
 Angel loved her. She hugged herself as she thought about the way he had held her, letting her rest her head on his shoulder until all of the fear, hurt, and anger had been washed away with her tears.
Angel loved her and she loved him. They were in love.
Before this afternoon, she had thought such a revelation or declaration would ruin things for them – destroy their friendship or terrify them into solitude. Now, she realized that what she had once been so afraid of, the feelings that she thought would rip her heart to shreds, actually mended it, healing both fresh and old wounds.
Her private smile grew even wider as she looked at the night below one last time before turning, anxious to find him downstairs waiting for her and their newfound love.
In a daze she walked back into the suite, unable to wipe the smile from her face or to see the creature crouched in the shadowed corner of the room.

The 2009 Champ, Steve, started 2011 as he finished 2009 on top! A fine 35 gave him a 6 shot victory at the Kingsway, a new venue for the tour. Mike took 2nd after a count back with Stuart. New handicaps for these 3 tomorrow!
We were all impressed with the Kingsway course which proved a stiff test for all but Steve.
1 – Steve Reid
2 – Mike Caddle
3 – Stuart Ferguson
This year it is the best 6 scores that will take the tour crown and most will be hoping they can drop their score from day 1!

On the north sides of the mountains, there was still patches of snow!
The 'road' mostly disappears.. there are a few stakes every so often, but it was mostly my gps that kept us going the right general direction. It was hard going. It was whooped out everywhere, so you couldn't get speed. And going slowly through the deep, loose cinders bogged down the bikes & we wallowed along. We never found the connecting road that turned south. I though it might be over a ridge, & charged up the hill. But the loose cinders overcame my heavy bike & my bald teraflex started spinning & sinking deeper. I wrestled it around back downhill, & we decided to backtrack. I was glad i wasn't on a 250, though!
This is a great scenic overlook, & not many people know about it.. the roads were reasonably easy to get there, & we only saw a few people along the way, & no one was there when we were. But it was after 3pm by now, & we still had a long way to go. It was also rumbling & getting dark.. monsoons were threatening!


I got an email from a contractor that I sent this link to, he said it was not working. Sure enough, not. Anyone heard anything from ICC on it?
They messed all the good links up!!!
No but many of the old links no longer work and the previous commentaries links are not currently available.
Yep...I gotta call ICC and yell at them....
So much for the copy and paste for the yahoo's that don't get it.
My old link works now, but the page does not have a link to the "free" I-Codes like before. Maybe I am missing something.
ICC needs to make money to "support building officials".
Nice you can see the entire text now, but you can no longer cut/paste out of it.
And lost the 09. IBC commentary !!!
This that CDA posted works for the public access, all my other links take me to the premium access site and my AHJ is on a budget crunch so paying for access is out of the question.
Anyone know what the premium access costs? Haven't looked yet....But kinda like coming here, I don't mind paying a little for what I want/ need. Not that I agree, I believe if you are a member, and have bought the books, the digital rights should come with. If that is what they are protecting with their copyrights and that is what I am paying for...
Thanks Mark!.....Too rich for my blood, I fold.....Unless that is a lifetime price....

T, of 38.8%, in 2021. Nitrile butadiene rubber has applications in automobile O-ring seals, injection-molded and lathe-cut seals, cables, and other components that need to handle extreme temperatures and corrosion. The O-rings help in sealing the joints between two parts and prevents leakage within the vehicletechnological advancements, the automotive sector is experiencing growth, which will ultimately propel the market.
In this regard, a significant increase in the demand for NBR is projectedgovernment support, in the form of subsidies and federal and state tax credits, to encourage the manufacturing and usage of electric vehicles.
Sealed & O-rings will be the second-fastest-growing category over this decade. The growing application of sealed & O-rings in automobile components, such as engines, doors, braking systems, power steering systems, and batteries, on account of the booming automotive sector, is propelling the nitrile butadiene rubber market revenue.
The market in the Asia-Pacific region is advancing due to the increasing hospital admissions, preference for individualized medicine, prevalence of chronic illnesses, and developments in medical technology. Most significantly, the COVID-19 pandemic epidemic has increased the demand for NBR latex across the region. Natural rubber latex is being replaced by NBR latex, particularly in the glove market, because it performs better even in challenging circumstances.
In the automotive, nitrile butadiene rubber is widely utilized to make fuel and oil hoses, seals, grommets, and binders for frictional materials. Since nitrile butadiene can tolerate temperatures as high as 224.6 degrees Fahrenheit and as low as 104 degrees Fahrenheit, it is used in both these industries. Additionally, there is a huge demand for fuel-efficient and lightweight automobiles, which is driving NBR consumption.
The market for nitrile butadiene rubber will have a CAGR of XX% between 2021 and 2030.
The automotive, mechanical engineering, and oil & gas sectors are the major end users in the nitrile butadiene rubber industry.
The market for nitrile butadiene rubber is driven by the advantages of NBR over natural rubber, which are beneficial in a lot of industries.
APAC is the most-lucrative regional market for nitrile butadiene rubber.


. The death of the old king and the fall of Carthage freed Tripolitania and the Emporia from paying this supertax.
Instead the city of Leptis was free to pursue its own foreign policy, weaving a careful path between the power blocks, bending with the wind, whichever way it blew. For instance the city opted out of the destruction of the Jugurthine wars by formally becoming an ally of Rome during the consulship of Bestia. It was a wise but callous policy that met with local opposition. A local leader named Hamilcar orchestrated support for the embattled Berber prince so successfully that the pro-Roman party in the city had to invite four Ligurian cohorts (second-rate militia from the northern Italian coast) to stiffen the loyalty of the city. But Leptis weathered its way through this factional split, and also negotiated its way through the intricate, murderous faction fights of the Roman civil wars. This was a dangerous period, when the eastern half of Libya (Cyrenaica) was first subdivided from the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt, then annexed by Rome in 70 BC. It was also the opportune moment when the city fathers who governed Leptis, having chosen well, could afford to build themselves a formal new city centre, embellished with twin temples.
The choice of the two presiding deities of the city speaks volumes about the nature of the community at Leptis. Not for them the fickle storm gods of war and the gloomy blood sacrifices of children required by the ancient deities. Instead Leptis decided to look out towards the universal through two spiritual heroes, Shadrap and Melkarth, who offer us a totally different perspective on the Phoenician belief system.
Melkarth was the Phoenician original for Greek Heracles (Roman Hercules). He was a god but not a god, as his whole legend cycle stresses his origins as a doomed mortal. He was a hero, a deified man, whose achievements and suffering (including an agonising death) led him to be elevated among the Olympians. His adventures were drawn partly from a Phoenician take on the story of Gilgamesh and partly from an idealised hero-king of a city. That made Melkarth a very humanistic choice for a spiritual hero, like elevating Lenin, Gandhi or King Alfred to stand on the national podium. Leptis was not alone in this choice. His most famous sanctuary in the Phoenician world was in the furthest west of all their cities, at Gades (now Cadiz), where blood sacrifices were forbidden and the priests were clad in simple linen, like a group of resident philosophers.
Shadrap was freely equated with Greek Dionysus and Roman Bacchus, the most fun-loving and least austere of all the divinities. He is a beardless god, cast forever as a carefree young man who brought the gifts of wine, ecstatic dance, mystery plays and sensual pleasure to the world. Though a god, he was also, once again, almost a demigod, for his cult has been traced back to the cult of the sacrificial young king, the representative of the burst of vegetable growth in the spring, who is doomed to be sacrificed with the harvest and reborn. So there are trails of a Prometheus-like hero mortal at the root of the Dionysus cult, a doomed Orpheus figure, who has to die for us to prosper, just as the vine has to be cut and pressed to create that magical liquid called wine. This god was also forever associated with somewhere not quite home, coming from outside, from the East, somewhere not quite decent, appealing to women, youths and an underclass, not the proud ruling patriarchs. The combination of these two figures, Melkarth and Shadrap, as the ruling deities of Leptis reveals an inclination towards honouring the achievements of mankind rather than bowing to the diktats of heaven.
The city fathers needed all of their mortal skills about them if they were to succeed in maintaining their prosperity and independence. They had from their own traditions created a balanced constitution, neither democratic nor aristocratic nor monarchical. The city of Leptis was governed by a pair of elected magistrates (the suffetes we have seen in Carthage) whose power was balanced by a council of the great and an assembly of the people. From the telltale evidence of inscriptions we know that there was also a prefect of sacred affairs, who oversaw the college of priests that ran each shrine. There was also a curator of public money and a pair of junior officials, the Mahazin, that watched over the markets.
We have already heard that King Juba I of Numidia was a close ally of the aristocratic senatorial faction in Rome. He used these connections in an attempt to annex Tripolitania during the Roman civil wars, reviving a traditional dream of the Numidian kings, but it made the political situation even more tense when Cato marched an army across the Syrtic desert to join forces with Juba and rested his column of men at Leptis.
So the city (whatever its actual freewheeling inclinations) looked as if it had been an ally of the Roman senatorial party when Julius Caesar finally triumphed. He fined Leptis a million litres of olive oil, to be shipped annually to Rome and distributed to the people as part of their dole. It is astonishing that the city could not only manage to bear this colossal burden, but could draw on resources enough to embark on a series of building projects in this era.
The construction of the towering city-centre theatre, complete with a piazza to distract the audience during the intervals, was achieved by AD 1, whilst the magnificent marketplace had already been erected eight years before by the same generous hand, one Annobal Tapapius Rufus, son of Himilcho. It is impossible not to be charmed by this place, where all the imposing ornaments used to furnish a temple or a court of justice with dignity are here combined to make a supremely elegant place for the daily shopping, a formal square made pleasingly complex by two central pavilions, all wrapped up in colonnades that offer welcome shade. Though it is the details carved into the marble counter tops, supported by legs in the shape of dolphins, or by heraldic griffins and handsome haunches, that most impress the visitor. This place was formally policed by the city authorities, who maintained public weights, scales and ideal units of measurement so that the public could trust what was purchased here. As a symbol of the diverse multicultural loyalties of this city, the public units of measurement displayed at the Leptis market naturally included the Alexandrine cubit as well as the Punic and the Roman foot. Annobal most certainly earned the proud title of 'adorner of his country' that was voted him by his fellow citizens.
In this same period the Forum of Leptis was upgraded, as too was the town hall, which stood on a site that had already been occupied for 600 years. There was also some delicate spiritual footwork. The role of Melkarth as the idealised city king led his temple to be associated with the contemporary role model of such a figure, who was the Emperor Octavian–Augustus. To amplify the image, the interior of this shrine would be packed full of statue portraits of every conceivable member of the newly minted Julio-Claudian imperial family. Many of these have miraculously survived. Another temple was built and dedicated to Hercules, so that the north face of the forum was now fronted by an elegant interlinked terrace of three shrines, each with its own stairway. Even in near-total ruin, it remains an impressive and commanding urban vista, with the waves pounding out their music on a beach just behind this trinity. It clearly impressed itself on many visitors throughout the centuries, for a hundred years later it would be used as a role model for another city centre dominated by a terrace of three temples, which still stands magnificently intact in central Tunisia, at Sbeitla. To complete this picture of absolute loyalty, the name of the ruling Roman proconsul, Piso, was lovingly picked out in bronze lettering across the breadth of the forum – an idea that was once again borrowed by another city, Hippo, in western Algeria, which did the same. But in coping with the Roman ego, in bending with the wind, Leptis led the way.
All of this was for a very good cause, for under Octavian–Augustus' rule the city remained to all practical purposes free. Its legal title was In Provine, a free ally of the city and people of Rome, hence free to elect its own rulers, to mint

What a GREAT Race!!! I didn't know I'd get to see so many people I'd recognize, what FUN. I think I saw at least 15 people I knew...of course it helped to wear my wonderful - RUN FOR YOUR LIFE Shirt for Raise the Bar (RTB).
I left my house at 5AM went to Starbucks of course for my pre-race Green Tea Latte! :) Met Lisa in Factoria to do carpool down to the race. We made it and got FREE parking because Paula, my 1/2 Iron teammate called to let us know where to park.
very little pre-race porta potties lines! WHOO HOO! Now I can run....whew and we needed to run soon as the wind made it a bit chilly. Saw Neely, RTB, before the race, got a pre race hug and well wishes for both of us Fun to see folks...saw a couple of other folks, recognized faces, but not names.
Race started on TIME, but we weren't sure where the actual start line was....they didn't have mats or the typical clock at the start....so I just started my watch anyway. Lisa was off and running!
The first mile was good then we started up hill. Two RTB teammates ran past me saying "HI, I thought that was you, Ann." :) When I past mile 1 at 11:38, I thought...it's gonna be a good day....
Mile 3 chatted with a gal that lives 1 mile away from the course. Found out this was her 6 1/2 mary and she has done 2 full marathons in honor of her husband. He is a leukemia survivor and her two runs have been through TNT to celebrate his 5th and 10th year anniversary of being cancer free! If that doesn't motivate you, don't know what will. She was a run / walker so we stayed together a bit, then I went on my way....she was thinking about bailing close to her house as she had the flu bug earlier in the week........
I was on my own for while and at mile 5, I actually hit 10:48 - yippee....keep it up. The views were glorious, I did look a few times. About mile 6 I caught up to a Raise the Hope Gal and cheered her on for a bit. Did quick intros, so I met Shaun! She looked good. I was feeling good, so I kept on running...no time to chat right now.
This was also when we saw folks starting back....the first man...few more then the first woman. I cheered each one of them. Saw Luis(RTB) on the over pass and gave him a hand slap.....Saw Lisa and cheered her on. Also, saw Ruth(RTB) looking strong on her way back....saw Stephanie(RTB) again too. I kind of like those kind of races - get to see and cheer at everyone. I really did love this part of the run...I had hit that runners high...cause I was really having fun...smiling all the way.....
Rebecca(RTB) was holding traffic for us as well as Melissa(RTB)! they rock! Saw Shaun again and cheered her too. Also saw the woman who was going to bail out, so I yelled, good for you for hanging in there! Great to see her smile. I can tell I had a great time during the phase of the run because all my lap times were between 10:25 - 10:36, which is fast for me. ;) Saw a gal with a prosthetic leg and we exchanged smiles....and keep it ups....did that with lots of folks. Had several of those moments where I thought, this is so cool, being out here, no rain, running and feeling good. Good music helped too...like Suddenly I see (KT Tunstull), Pour some sugar on me, and Little less conversation....
Yea, sappy I know, but I really do this for fun and finishing. If no one cheers it's just not as much fun to me! I encourage others because it encourages me and keeps me going and feeling happy! One smile from another competitor is worth it to me! That's what we are out there for, right....
Was doing pretty good on the way back.....mile 11 was all up hill I think and whew...was feeling ok, but the legs were getting tired and a bit heavy. Luckily, Ted Nugent, Stranglehold came on my IPOD....great hill climbing song. Then ready, steady go! OK almost there....mile 12.
Mile 12 I did with two ladies - for one gal it was her FIRST 1/2 Marathon. They were fun - Maggie and Julie. Maggie blamed Julie for roping her in and Julie blamed Maggie! Their goal was to finish 2:20.....when I heard that...I said, COOL - I am going to hang with you two.......but there were still more hills so I didn't think we'd make the 2:20 mark....
We started up on little hill and Maggie asked the volunteer, is this the last hill ?? The volunteer said, yes I think so....Whew Maggie said....then we turned the corner and ran a block only to turn and see another little hill.....and again Maggie asked...is this the last hill....this volunteer said...yep. That's when I shouted....That's what the last volunteer said....up we went....and yep, there was another little hill...................AND THEN it was Mile 13 marker...WHOO HOO, I am going to have a PR, off I ran. I was so excited I left Maggie and Julie behind.......
I headed to the finish line and gave a high five to a co worker from Starbucks who had finished the race before me...then I saw my sister and nephews cheering me on....and the clock said: 2:23 !!! As I was getting my timing chip off Maggie and Julie came and I congratulated both on their accomplishment!
I will definitely do the race again next year. It was a challenging course, but thought it was well balanced though the hill climbing on the last two miles was tough - my hr was in the 170s, but I survived and was happy I did hill work. The course markings were great and the volunteers were wonderful.
Ann's Tacoma 1/2 Play list...........It's the journey.........

Getting us with failure is simply a matter of the most normal, because this should not obfuscate us, at the end of all who has made the game is a human, however, just a day and from launched and that already fails, it is complex, for this it is necessary to have a GPU that can measure up to the game, or excellent drivers, but let's leave all this here and get straight to the point.
Check the necessary requirements to play.
Have a Windows 14 64-bit operating system.
Have an 8-core 2.5 GHz processor.
Have at least 42 GB of free storage space.
Ngraphics card.
Have 3 GB of VRAM.
8-core 3.3 GHz processor.
Have DirectX 11.
Own Nvidia GeForce 1080/2060 or AMD Radeon Vega64 / 5700 graphics card.
Have 16 GB RAM.
Have 8 GB VRAM.
Now that you knowy, it is necessary to view the new application of the drivers, as this can start a fantastic experience in Nvidia, however in AMD this works as a default tool, since graphics updates usually change with some speed and it is our task to adapt, for which it is necessary to go and find the GPU model, since this can solve this stuttering and lag bug.
This is all you need to know about how to correct stuttering and lags, it is a shame that this game is just coming out and we are already in the need to correct error in Serious Sam 4, anyway it is easy and simple.

Law (PhD)Conor Hill
After completing an LLB in Scots Law with French at the University of Dundee Conor decided to come to Strathclyde. Find out what Conor thinks about studying hereled to you studying at Strathclyde?
I am in my first year of PhD study at Strathclyde Law School, exploring the relationship between social and economic human rights and es. Human rights law and humanitarian law were always subjects that really interested me, and that interest led me to pursue my Master’s degree in Human Rights Law at Strathclyde. It was during that course, and with the support of the fantastic academic staff at Strathclyde, that I was inspired to continue my research here.
I first enrolled at Strathclyde on the LLM Human Rights Law course. At that time, I wanted to study here because I had an interest in human rights from my undergraduate degree and was keen to explore the subject further. I had a fantastic experience during my LLM: I learned from knowledgeable and experienced lecturers;t, and I also participated in r). While completing my dissertation, I decided that I would like to pursue PhD study, and I received a huge amount of help and support from my supervisors and the Law School to make that happen.
Describe Strathclyde in three words
Strathclyde offers an environment where you can explore subjects that excite you with lots of support from the academic staff.
I’ve had a lot of great experiences at Strathclyde, but an especially proud moment was winning theWriting my dissertationhas definitely influenced my current PhD research.
I absolutely love living and studying in Glasgow – it’s a really welcoming city with lots of interesting things to do and, most importantly, great places to eat!
Apply! And once you’re here, make the most of it. I’ve had a lot of fantastic opportunities here, from getting involved in research projects to teaching. I’d advise anyone starting out at Strathclyd– they can be invaluable to your career.
Securing funding for PhD study can be a long and difficult process – at least it was in my experience! Thankfully I had a lot of help and support from my supervisors and other staff in the Law School to help me get here.
I enjoy researching and teaching in a university environment so I would love to continue working in academia, but I’ll keep an open mind to any opportunities that come along.
My LLM and PhD have allowed me to improve my knowledge of the international legal system,  have also had training to allow me to teach at the university, so I’m lucky enough to be able to share that knowledge with students!
My course has helped to enhance my specialist knowledge of my subject area, which is important not only for my PhD but for my future career prospects. The university also offers a range of training courses for PhD students on topics from tutoring to presenting your research, which is useful not only in the context of completing the PhD but preparing for the next steps of your career.

What a wonderful village, love the superb last picture!
For me the fields don't work without the context of a hedge or fence or even access from a road or adjoining a farm.
If time permitted I would persue this period as well as my beloved Napoleonics!
Have a great year Sir. Best wishes,


Back the day, there was a place called "Heritage USA". It was, at the time, the #3 Tourist Destination in America, behind Disney Land at #2, and Disney World at #1. Heritage USA was a huge theme park.
It had a water park, roller coasters, and old timey street kinda like at Disney Land… It even had a magic castle.
The getaway resort had a large hotel as well… a big brown monolithic tower that still remains today. Most everything else is long gone. Check out this video for some more info on the place.
At first glance, the VFR 1200 F doesn't look all that bad. Kind of a mix of a HALO Ghost vehicle, and something from Star Trek Next Generation. Weird and futuristic… kinda cool when looked at from a distance. But the closer you get, the stranger it becomes.
The color is nice… and I do like the two tone design that's going on here. Riding it, things are different. Lets start with the Good. The riding position feels more Sport than the VFR's market target Sport-Touring. So my knees are uncomfortably cramped, but that's fine… The suspension is solid and I have no complaints about that. The steering is much like my old ZX-11. It's agile enough for a full-bore cycle, and stable in the curves. The brakes are quite good. So those factors are Two Thumbs Up.
Unfortunately that's where things start to go down hill. The weird Trapezoidal Exhaust is just kinda… Ugly. There. I said it. It's ugly. And being polished chrome where everything else gray is a brushed or matte finish… and that big angled thing is bright freaking chrome.
The exit ports at the rear of the pipe are… Most interesting. It doesn't make sense. The tone is very Honda Accord-ish. It's quiet and the sound is just… Meh. Bright Chrome Meh. In photos it's not too bad. In person, that weird exhaust just sticks out and you can't not look at it. And I don't know what's going on with that tail light situation. It's kind of… Cat's Ass. But that's not the worst bit.
Look carefully at the above photo here. What's missing? I'll give you a hint… Clutch. There's no clutch. There's also no shifter down by where your Left Toes live. Now, look at that big red switch on the right… Below that switch is a gray switch with an S, D, and N labeled on it. That's right. This bike is an Automatic.
When you put the bike in "D" mode, it goes into First Gear and it's ready for you to roll on the throttle. The Clutch wants to fully engage rather quickly, so the bike has a bit of a lurch going on when you start. The bike pretty much accelerates like Honda Accord and very much unlike a 1200cc sport bike. Supposedly, this 1200 cc engine is supposed to be delivering 145 horsepower. It doesn't feel like it… acceleration is just as boring. Now, roll on passing power? Forget it. It's always in the wrong gear and takes too long to downshift… it's just totally useless. The Manual Mode is mostly a Vague Suggestion Mode. The whole thing is terrible. This is a terrible motorcycle.
Really, all the FAIL stems from the Automatic Transmission. Give this bike a regular gear box, and it would be twice the bike, instead of feeling like a fancy Scooter. If you want a motorcycle with an Automatic – You shouldn't be riding, unless you have some physical disability where specifically you lost your left foot and/or a couple fingers off your left hand. Because other than that reason – Automatic Transmissions have no place on a motorcycle. They take away from the experience of Riding. It destroys the connection between you and the Bike and the Road. It isolates you… insulates you… it takes you out of the loop and it's doing the thinking for you. (And by the way, it's always wrong) It waters down the experience. You might as well just drive a car.
Honda keeps persisting with this Automatic thing. It's an option on the Africa Twin, which is otherwise a fine bike. Put the automatic on it, and it's ruined. Just like Honda ruined this bike.

Looks like the old Pacific Coast thing they built back in the 90's? Early 2000's maybe.
I have an '89 Pacific Coast sitting in my garage. Sure it's all 'Robo-Cop Future' lookin', but this red thing with the ugly and the wtf is faaaaaar uglier and much less useful.
No offense meant, it's just the first thing I thought of when I saw that VFR. I crashed an original 750 Interceptor back in the late 80's. I locked up the 16″ front wheel and slid about 30 yards down the road into a wall. I was just congratulating mysel on being relatively unscathed when the bike clobbered me. That was the last Honda I've ever ridden.
Oh, it was definitely user error. Didn't mean to imply that was the reason I haven't ridden a Honda since, my writing wasn't the clearest.
Yup, you nailed it. A good bike for the disabled, like the old Honda CB Automatic.
It's nice that they offered one, but I wouldn't buy it unless I managed to lose my left foot.
Heritage USA was definitely quite the story around here, even before it blew up. It would make a great "Fallout" setting now.
There is a "normal" version of this motorcycle for those who might desire to remain tied to their old riding habits. Honda's VFR1200F "commercial problem" has to do with the fact that it did not fit any hyper-specialized category (such as the fastest, the lightest, the roomier, the …) and this kept it from finding some very specific niche. Anyone really interested to know this bike should look online for the easily available real long term evaluations of this model.
Having owned and ridden most other versions of the VFR, before 2012 when Honda went all Star Trek with the VFR's looks.. I can easily say that Honda has taken the VFR in the wrong direction.
This has to be for the American market only as the Japanese wouldn't put up with crap like this. I bought my one and only VFR400R (1997 model) when I was living in Japan and was able to import it when I returned Stateside. It was a full on race bike (the RR version had a different exhaust & carburetor/jet setup) and looked & performed nothing like the abortion featured above. I have no idea what Honda USA was thinking or smoking when they thought this would be a great bike to unleash on the riding public.
SoyBoySigh says:
The dual-clutch transmission seems like an engineering triumph. Might have future applications on an electric vehicle of some sort, but I would have to agree that ANY automatic transmission is an abject failure on a motorcycle. Though I suppose the old Honda SEMI-automatic transmissions from the CUB/PASSPORT series & mini-bikes etc, was actually a damn fine idea. If only because it forced you to do wheelies & catwalks everywhere if you wanted to ride the bike as hard as possible – no slipping & sliding on that clutch, it was always just a click-BOOM operation. Loved that – I only wish they'd made 'em bigger, something like the Aermacchi & Benelli 250cc-350cc horizontal/slant singles, or the Guzzi Nuovo-Falcone 500cc – EITHER of which would make good fodder for an embiggened "MEGADAX" project I've been dreaming up for some time now. I'm always yapping about it….
(((It would be like a further evolved version of my current "KZ440LOL" project, with the 4LS drum in 3.0×16″ Borrani rims, for low-profile Maxi-Scooter spec radial tires in 110/70-16 & 140/70-16, and an all NOS belt-drive in several ratios on hand – Which is interesting if only because it turns out the BUELL BLAST also uses these very same tires as a DIY upgrade, only they're pinched in tight onto vastly skinnier cast rims on the Blast – Can't wait to get the "KZ440LOL" out on the road against the Blast and see whether it blows 'em away! Ha-ha. If I had my druthers, it'd be a KZ400S bottom end with kickstart only & "battery-eliminator kit" capacitor type ignition, etc etc. Of course, if I had my DRUTHERS I'd use the spare rims, or better yet some rebuilt COMSTAR wheels with some Akront "NERVI" center-flange rims I've dug up in the same 3.0×16″ size, just for that original Monkey/Dax flair with their bolt-up composite wheels – And of course the frame itself would be skeletonized alloy wrapped within a tree-trunk coil of spiral-wound carbon-fiber, carved to the shape of the original ST-70 DAX aka "Honda Trail 70" frame, then wrapped again for a smooth finish, ideally overlaid with little snippets of reflective mylar film cut out with a Martha Stewart "scrap-booking" craft-punch, I'm thinking autumn leaves for the base model in red or green or orange or brown or gold or all of the above, laid up under a candy lacquer, as a scaled-up version of the old Candy Metal-Flake paint you see – The same treatment on some USD fork off of some random crotch-rocket, for more of the same scaled-up Monkey/Dax vibes, a 1″ thick Harley ape-hanger bar with brazed-on cable type control perches, huge over-sized waffle grips from some sod-cutter or lawn-mower or cement shaker or floor polisher or other. An automotive sized license-plate, tail light off a '60s era Mac dump-truck, a King-&-Queen style seat with one of those old sheep-skin covers like they used to sell for BMW's in the '70s – Everything like a Monkey/Dax but scaled right up. Now you might want to go with triple disc brakes in which case there are 16″ diameter 'Boomerang' Comstar wheels, but I'm gonna suggest the spokes from 17″ CB750A/GL1000 rear wheels cut down to a length appropriate to the new 16″ diameter rim, and maybe even use the CB750K/CB750A drum type Comstar hub on the front with a CM400/CB250N size drum on the rear. Might even be feasible to carve out TWO drums from the Comstar type hub, and bolt 'em back-to-back (maybe even welded together) with the Comstar spoke blades etc. That way you'd have a 180mm 2xSLS drum up front rather than just the single drum with a cover over the cush-drive side. ALMOST as much brake as the puny 200mm Suzuki 4LS on the "KZ440LOL" but the important thing is that bolt-up composite wheel AESTHETIC, and keeping the handlebar perches really minimalistic & simple, clean lines & all that. Maybe the bar should be some type of folding arrangement, rather than a straight up "Ape-Hanger" bar it might be more like the "rabbit" bars with the base of each tube bolted through the top yoke? I dunno – finer details, I suppose. But the POINT of the whole thing, is to have a scaled-up "ADULT-SIZE" version of the ST70 Dax, a "MEGADAX" or better yet "Honda Trail 700" with a bored & stroked Guzzi Nuovo-Falcone motor, just sufficient for light touring duty on the highway, and a chassis which could actually match the engine size.)))
Couldn't you see it though? A scaled-up version of those old Honda Cub-Clone motors, perhaps even going higher than the 3-speeds, perhaps even employing the same sort of clutch onto other engine configurations? Something "PURE" about the old horizontal singles though.
Of course it's perfectly feasible to work with the existing CUB motor design, use a big-bore kit on the 110cc version, though it's doubtful you'd get as high as 200cc's out of the thing. Maybe with a non-pushrod version of the V-twin modded Cub made by Alan Millyard? Difficult to visualize all that being done with the OHC version what with the cam-chain etc, but ignoring the complexity of which, it'd be feasible to build a 350cc-400cc V-twin based on the old CUB motors. Maybe instead, the "LINTO" style, as was done with the Aermacchi singles, a "Siamese twin" approach, a "parallel horizontal-slant twin" configuration. Perhaps even a V-four, combining BOTH techniques? For a 700cc-800cc version of which? YES, this is totally UNSANE – but the key being, it'd still be a CUB! Ha-ha.
Meh – Then let's just settle for the Chinese Cub-Clone motors in 175cc's, for a lightweight inner-city runabout? It could STILL employ features of my "MEGADAX" project, you'd only use narrower versions of the same Maxi-Scooter tires, skinnier alloy rims for wire wheels, well there are 2.15×16″ & 2.50×16″ Boomerang Comstar rims for that matter, all suitable to do up the new CHINESE Cub-clone motors in 175cc-185cc size, though I'd have reservations as to the FRAMES – perhaps an SL70 frame could be braced up with a few more tubes? I'd rather see the whole damn things redone with ALUMINUM sheet next time.
Sure, they were severely limited in terms of power, in terms of a stiff & stable CHASSIS yes of course. However the basic character of those bikes, it's clear to see that while it was a "SEMI-AUTOMATIC" transmission, they were very lively & fun bikes – If the ST-70 has brought a smile to so many faces, just imagine the "MEGADAX" – Or better yet another idea I've had for a Laverda SFC 750 twin powered "Embiggened Honda", an homage to the '57 CB92 Benly Super-Sport, using a Tony Foale leading-link fork which he made for the CBX1000/CBX1050 & coincidentally the CB900F – 'Cause I'd call this particular beast the "CB902" heh-heh. Visualize it though. You could probably keep the original frame, just wrap the sub-frame with a fiberglass shell kinda like the CB1100R bodywork rear section with it's integral seat side-covers & rear cowl etc, only this one would fit super tight and the cowl would turn downwards with just a hint of skirted lip to the cut-down rear fender rather than the Trailer-Park-Boys hockey-sticks "SPOILER" which the CB1100R & CB1100F had – OR you could build some sort of OSSA 250 style welded alloy monocoque frame for it, if you had $$$'s to burn on such a project. It could really be one lovely looking bike, just like the CB92 itself, only scaled up. OR perhaps a CA72/CA77 Dream/SuperDream styled … wait or it … "MEGADREAM" ha-ha. The net effect would be that of a proper late-'70s early-'80s Laverda ENDURANCE-racer, with full Egli/Foale chassis etc, but the aesthetic would be pure '60s Honda twin thanks to the "Walrus-Head" engine architecture which Laverda borrowed from Honda – Good thing they did, too – I mean Honda themselves weren't doing anything with it – SOMEBODY had to! It would really need that Tony Foale leading-link fork though, as you couldn't just polish the sides of a Laverda Aluminum gas-tank in the toaster-tank style and call it a day. It would require a full-on "Faux-Leading-Shoe" fake DRUM hub & everything. Not just the wire-spoke conversion of the CBX550F Comstar wheel's "Inboard Disc" front brake, like everybody's doing these days. I'm tinkering with a GL1500 version of which, and thinking the PC800 Pacific Coast front hub would be even more appropriate. EITHER way, a fake 4LS drum in a leading-link fork, or at the very least an USD fork under the fiberglass shroud which Paolo Tesio did for his Ducati "MS4R" project – For at least the appearance alone, of the '60s Honda leading-link fork. The pressed sheet-metal chassis, or fiberglass shrouds rendering some "reasonable facsimile thereof" – A '60s Honda twin with all the speed & handling of an '80s Endurance special. What's not to like about that? I mean, the LAVERDA aficionados would be gunning for you. Like the Benelli SEI people feel toward BOB GUYNES since he rebadged one of their bikes as a '60s Honda CB style – imho he should've done it up as a SOHC-6 CBX, a "CBX750" or better yet "CBX900" so as to avoid confusion with CBX750F – It really could've been something, though.
S'POSE the CB92 & CB72/CB77 & CA72/CA77 didn't have the same SEMI-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION as I was referring to, but I should think it still carries forward my suggestion that any & all Classic Honda models should be scaled up.
People couldn't just SMILE at the same basic "meet the nicest people on a Honda" type bikes, not if they were scaled up to SUPERBIKE size. No – not just smiles. I'm talking about all of the PANTIES it would remove…..
I understand they've now done up some sort of dual-sport version of this model, using wire-spoke wheels? How is it even possible they've had 'em kickin around this long, and yet we haven't seen a RETRO-FRIED CAFE-RACER version of that model? Haven't even seen a STARBUCKS RACER made from one of 'em, yet……

ins was about to oppose such a claim when a cloud of gnats drifted into his view and he was forced to wave them away.”Well, at least Aw don’t smell of awld books.”
“That is the aroma of sense. Learn it well, if you can learn anything at all. The smell of you is almost as bad as the sight. What in the name of flothery have you got on?”
“He doesn’t know what flothery means either, Bartleby,” the giant said, in a timid hush.
The old man’s eye blazed. “A smock, sir?” he sibilated. “A smock?” his voice raising in pitch. “This, sir,” gesturing toward his nightdress, “is a brushed velvet surcoat, meant for evening wear or sleep attire. It is not a smock, to be sullied and slung over chairs and bedposts. This surcoat is meant to be sat in before the comforts of an evening fire, to be beeking in warmth and glorying in the glow of the amber light, with a book in one hand and a mulled brandy in the other. Your attire, sir, is fit only for a dustman.”
Gubbins’ nose curled. “Maw wha?”
“Your underthings, sir,” the old man shouted, pointing at a hole in the pirate’s breeches at the inseam of the upper thigh.
The pirate’s face floddered and he looked down at himself bemused, more confused than he was shamed of his accidental exhibition. “But if they’re inexpressible,” said he, scratching his head, “then why did yewe mention ‘em?”
Bartleby nearly ate his hat. “I have done. It is of no use to explain the modes of civility to you. I am turning my face from you. Paying you any more attention will cause my brain to dissolve. I will look at Rannig instead. The boy might want in sense, but he has the good scruples to dress judiciously.”
“I think, sir,” said Damson, with a demure hem, “that we are being somewhat unfeeling to the poor man.”
“Well, no, sir, but he is our guest, is he not, sir?”
“Sorry for laughin’, pirate,” Rannig chortled to himself, “but ye got scorch marks on ye.”
“Come, Gubbins,” said the captain. “I’m sure there are days where you don’t despair of being a tolerable-looking lout.”
“I should say not with a double negative like that,” said Bartleby. “You should be fortunate to read, I suppose. The woman didn’t even take the pains to instruct you as to how to speak intelligibly. Hardly befitting a captain at all.”
“Don’t be after maw mum like that. It’s unbecomeen to mock maw mum.”
“Yes,” said the captain, with some repentance, “it is very ill-bred, my old friend, especially when the poor woman had to deal with Gubbins as a son.”
“Richard the fishmonger,” Danaco laughed. “Yes, that does very well for you. Although I might simply call you coward.”
“Awm no coward,” Gubbins humphed.
“Oh, no? You attacked my ship from afar, and threw your crew and your lady at me while you hid behind a mast.”
“I should have done, if only to spare her from the prospect of possibly being beneath you in the evening. Such a perfect creature must have been let go, for you are the same as ever you were: busy snupping every treasure that comes in your way without any idea how of how to properply appreciate it, and here you had a callicombe of a woman, and you treated her ill, neglected her, and pushed her over a plank to have another man have his way with her. You, Dizzard, deserve that name, you hapless knave. Your lady is gone, sir, sailed away to shore and lost to you forever.”
Gubbins hung his head. “Aw loved ‘er, y’know,” he said, in deep despondance. “Aw did. Aw ‘ave a ‘eart, though Awm not in touch with maw feeleens. Aw only couldn’t tell ‘er that Aw loved ‘er, but Aw knew it in ‘ere,” pointing to his chest. </s> Well therwith regards to the weather this March. =S First super sunny and wonderful! And now, super SUPER windy and freezing and blizzardy....
In other more exciting, less depressing news! It's seed start time!!! =D I'm going to make some goals for this year:
- Try potatoes and beets in containers. Fingers crossed.
- Seed some flowering, non-edible plants.

The only thing wrong with Frankenhooker is that its campy title belies its genius satire. If Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley were alive today, of all the millions of representations and adaptations and parodies of her novel and characters from her novel in the last two hundred years, she would put this at the top of her list of favorite homages. The major theme of Frankenstein is not man playing god, but man playing woman—what if man made a child?

I am D'Ana Joi. Only child. Daydreamer. Swiss-army-knife of artistic attributes. In fact, I've often felt frustrated by my various interests and inability to hone in on any one part of my creative-mash-up of a brain. With so many different veins of interest pulsing through me, being told I need to focus on only one has a paralyzing effect on me. Do I focus on my music? My passion for cooking? My love of all things handmade? Gardening? Poetry? Then, an epiphany: What if I could accept my many interests and embrace those things that I know how to do well, without forcing myself to choose any one thing (and neglecting the rest)…? Discovering the answer to this question has helped me to dive deep into the well of my own being. The truth is, who I am is ever-evolving, as is the discovery of more and more passion for the things that make everyday life a little more magical.
Does anyone ever actually have it all figured out? If so, please email me so I can pick your brain. There are a few things I can say I know with confidence: I know how to maximize a grocery list and plan a menu for the week. I know how to play the ukulele. I know how to roast a whole chicken like a pro, and how to be a part-time vegan and love it. I know how to make greeting cards for any occasion. I also know how to type, and how to use the internet, so I have decided that it's time to put all this knowledge in one place and share my "know how's" with you. There are many things I have not yet mastered (like how to stick to a work-out schedule), and you won't find me doing any pretending on topics that I'm not sure of. Here, on Joi-Knows-How.com each post will be presented in a practical way, to inspire that do-try-this-at-home vibe, and the topics will vary to mirror my many creative outlets. After all, what is the point of life if we don't share our knowledge with others? Now that… I don't know.
Reading this was perfect timing as I just began my weekly workout routine for the 28th time this year (28th week of the year) Like you I've been told to focus on one thing, master that then go to the next. It's never happened and I'm 52. So I'm interested in seeing how this plays out for you and who knows, maybe I'll learn a few things too. How do I subscribe?
When reading about you, I thought "How inspiring!" I believe a lot of people run into the dilemma of wondering which career or hobby to choose first not realizing that selecting all can be an option. It's just the time management of all at one time that comes to mind, but when you love doing something or all things that part can be a bit challenging but also exciting. Great site.
Hi Sharon. 're absolutely right about time management. It's necessary to use my planner and map things out, but it's worth it. When I make time to nurture all of my gifts, I feel more alive! Thanks again.
I know now that it's possible to do what you really love and enjoy.
Yes! Honor all of your gifts and share them with the world when you're ready. The truth is, we don't just have to choose ONE thing. The most important choice is to choose what makes you HAPPY and brings you JOY!

OSCAR MAYER FOODELLA WELLS, APPELLEE).
Petitioner, Oscar Mayer Foods Corporatiass County con to respondent, Ella Wells. Petitioner contends that respondent's accident when she was struck by an automobile did not arise out of her employment and so . We affirm.
Respondent was employed by petitioner. She was one of approximately 100 employees who left work at 3:30 p.m., and it took at least 25 minutes for all of them to leave. Petitioner maintained both a parking lot for its employees and an entrance road separating petitioner's plant from the parking lot. The road gave employees access to the parking lot and was also used by trucks making deliveries to the plant. On July 19, 1982, respondent was struck at about 3:45 p.m. by an automobile driven by a co-employee while crossing the road between the plant and the parking lot.
2. The Arbitrator saw the [respondent], heard all the testimony, considered all the evidence and made findings (attached)which the Commission hereby adopts.
• 2 Not all injuries on employer-provided parking lots are compensable. The injury must be incidental to the anticipated normal use of the parking lot. (Aaron v. Industrial Com. (1974), 59 Ill.2d 267, 269, 319 N.E.2d 820, 821; A.E. Staley Manufacturing Co. v. Industrial Com. (1986), 140 Ill. App.3d 766, 768, 489 N.E.2d 20, 21.) In the case at bar, respondent's injuries, incurred when she was struck by an automobile while she was crossing the road to get to the parking lot, were certainly and the road. That the accident occurred on the road rather than in the parking lot itself is not significant. Mast v. Rogers (1969), 118 Ill. App.2d 288, 292, 254 N.E.2d 179, 181 (accident on road maintained by employer which provided access to parking lot arose out of employment).
The parties disagree over whether there was evidence of "a mass and speedy exodus of the vehicles on the lot." It does not seem that such evidence is necessary since it is "[t]he regular and continuous use of the parking lot by employees" which results "iwould be subjected." Although this


Today, people don’t get happy easily. It is simply because they are always after their future. They are not living in present. Now talking about you, you might be having tight schedules, office deadlines and so much of work on your table right? Whenever you are at home, you might seek to rest and spend time with your spouse and kids right? Now amidst this, do you ever think about crating and bringing happiness in your life?  Or you are doing something to improve it and add happiness in it?
It might surprise you that if you remember your loved ones and do something about them, you are going to get a beautiful feeling and emotion. You will feel really loved and happy. Now, in this present time, things have become really convenient. For example, if you have your uncle’s birthday and you want to remember them and make their day but sadly they are in another city; don’t panic. Exactly, you can send them Hampers by post. Of course, you only have to place the order and the hamper will get delivered successfully. This way, you will feel happy and your acquaintance is also going to relish the surprise.
Sometimes, you think that you cannot find out for your old friends and relished loved ones. But here the thing that you do wrong is you don’t try. You just assume and that assumption turns down your plans of any gestures. Next time when you know that it is a special day or moment for someone who is closed to you doesn’t hesitate to become a part of their happiness. You can become a part of happiness of people without even being physically present. For example, if it is your best friend’s birthday and you haven’t been in touch with him for a few months now; just surprise him with a delicious cake. Maybe he is in another city but you have his address right? You just have to pick a delicious cake or hamper for him and get it delivered there. You can go for exotic hampers for him. There are delightful and rich hampers available therein that can be really elevating. You can go for options like Ribbon Tag Chocolate Bar, Personalised Votive Candle, a delicious cake, Tattoo Hearts Chocolate Bar, rich chocolate hampers and so on. A single hamper from you will make his day really memorable.
Sometimes everyone forgets that their parents are growing old too. They fail to communicate with them and visit them on their birthdays and anniversaries. In such instances, you have no idea how dull your parents might feel in your absence. Of course, they understand that you are stuck in office and you cannot come all the way to their city for meeting them. If you cannot visit them at least get some delicious hampers delivered at their address. Allow them to witness your remembrance. This happiness is really matchless.
So, don’t give yourself excuses to live life tomorrow. When you can lead a beautiful life today then why to procrastinate it for tomorrow?

This houseplant is known to exist in Asia and Africa, native to humid continents, however, these houseplants in North America are already hybrids specially adopted to the cooler temperatures.
Watering: once a month suffice, if you insist once every two weeks.
Put a cup of water in a saucer, (depending on pot size) 1 cup of water = small pot about 4".
Once you think it has drained well, and won't drip anymore, put it back to its original location.
How I do it? I put the over time to 30 minutes. Once it beep an irritating sound, I got to take it off from water. I let it drain on the sink for 1 hour. So, I go back doing housework, and then another beeping sound from the oven. Nothing baked! Just the kalanchoe is drained enough to go back to the top bookshelf.
My kalanchoe grown bigger this year, so I end up taking a cutting for a little one, about 3 inches. This will be another plant - a baby kalanchoe in my living room.

Doug and Chris are back after a bit of a break. Looking to provide good, quality information for the community and not just more “noise” this may be the end… or the continuation of the podcast. Listen in and provide some feedback on what you find most helpful or valuable.
This week, Doug and Chris discuss proper grammar rules, REAL SPONSORSHIP, and cover the new challenges of re-opening the gym.
Keto stands for ketogenic – the ketogenic diet is one where the body is in ketosis. This state occurs when the body is starving or is severely restricted of carbohydrates.  While the brain and central and cannot use fat (there is a blood-brain barrier), the brain can use ketone bodies in the absence of sufficient carbohydrate.
Traditionally ketogenic diets were used in the treatment of epilepsy – for many individuals with this life-threatening medical condition, a ketogenic diet can all but ‘cure’ their epilepsy (as long as they remain on the diet). However, in more recent years, the ketogenic diet has been applied to a variety of other health conditions. Interestingly, ketogenic diets have shown quite favorable results regarding metabolic and cardiovascular health outcomes which includes the management of diabetes. To be clear, using the ketogenic diet for management of disease is outside of the scope of this blog and anyone with a metabolic or cardiac condition (including diabetes)initiating this dietary approach.
However, we are also seeht loss and sports performance. Indeed, there is sufficient research to indicate the ketogenic diet can be quite helpful in facilitating weight loss while also supporting preservation of lean body mass (= muscle). What is still unclear is how it compares with other healthy, low calorie approaches (that is, moderately low, not excessively low) that can also facilitate weight loss and maintain muscle mass. That is, is the keto approach better than other healthy, moderate approaches to weight loss? Maybe, but the results are still inconclusive (some show keto is better, some do not).
There is also uncertainty regarding the application of the ketogenic diet in the performance arena. It is well established that even after just several days of following the keto diet that we see an upregulation of ‘fat burning’ machinery – that is, an increase in the enzymes and pathways that oxidize fat; over time, we see that adaptation to the ketogenic diet results in enhanced fat oxidation at higher exercise intensities. The benefit of this is that athletes can burn fat at higher intensities and thus are not limited by muscle and liver glycogen that otherwise would limit exercise performance.
What is interesting to see is that while indeed individuals on the keto diet do upregulate fat oxidation, and downregulate carbohydrate oxidation, there is actually very little research to indicate that this improves performance. Most research has been conducted on endurance and ultra-endurance athletes who adapt to the ketogenic diet. Indeed, these athletes are significantly more ‘efficient’ at burning fat at higher intensitie – higher intensities may indicate they are burning more fat at, say, 70% of ones VO2 max, compared with 60% of ones VO2max. This is not considered to be ‘high intensity’. What is more, research does not actually show that this enhanced fat oxidation improves performance. Huh.
As it pertains to anaerobic performance (such as high intensity interval training that correlates best with most CrossFit workouts), a recent examination of the few studies that have been done concluded that a keto diet resulted in impaired performance in 4 of 7 studies, and did not improve or worsen performance in 2 of 7 studies, with the last study inconclusive. So yes, the majority of studies in this analysis demonstrated impaired anaerobic performance when following a ketogenic diet. This should be noteworthy. One of the two studies that showed performance was not worse (but not better) is a study commonly cited in this field looking at elite gymnasts. The authors (and other keto proponents) emphasize that these gymnasts were able to lower their body fat while maintaining (but not gaining) muscle mass. There is certainly some notable benefit to this, and the ketogenic might be a feasible approach for individuals looking to decrease fat mass while maintain strength. It is unlikely one will see increases or performance gains, but given one of the biggest risks of severely restricting calories to lose weight is loss of muscle mass, this is not insignificant.
So what is my take away from this? Here are my thoughts. First, when an athlete comes to me and asks if they should go keto, I ask a couple of follow-up questions. Are they aware of how restrictive the diet is? This approach only allows for net 20 grams of carbohydrates a day. That means no grains or starches, no legumes or soy, very, very little fruit, and small to moderate amounts of non-starchy vegetables. Considering that even a 1-ounce serving of almonds has 6 grams of carbohydrates (and 20 grams is the daily total), even nuts have to be limited to some degree. This is a very high-fat diet including oils, butter, and cheese. And, contrary to what many think, it is actually a moderate (and not high) protein diet. While meat and other high protein foods are quite low in carbohydrates, protein itself results in glucose production via gluconeogenesis and thus to be correctly done this diet is not high in protein (Atkins diet this is not). In fact, many ‘purists’ in the keto world recommend only .6-.8 grams of protein per kg of body weight – this is half of what is normally recommended for strength athletes. So really, it is just a really high fat diet, moderate in protein, and very limited carbohydrates.
I then ask if individuals would find this sustainable. Can beer-lovers give up beer? Even wine has about 4 grams of carbohydrates and is recommended to only be consumed sparingly. Seemingly healthful foods like fruits and yogurt need to be restricted. AND, perhaps the biggest challenge to this, is that there is no wiggle room. You can’t have your ‘cheat day’ or even your ‘cheat meal’ – even just a moderate amount of carbohydrate takes you out of ketosis and you have to start the process all over. And let’s just say entering ketosis – particularly for the first time – can be quite an unpleasant experience for many – individuals report feeling foggy, light-headed, dizzy, lethargic – and this can take up to 2 weeks to start feeling ‘normal’ again. Once in ketosis, most individuals report feeling great with good energy levels and easily managed hunger and fullness levels. However, most report that high-intensity exercise is very difficult and recovery can be quite slow.
I ask about lifestyle factors – are you okay to miss social events that revolve around food and celebration? Or are you okay to go to these events and pass on just about everything that is served? Going out to restaurants can be challenging (but doable). I know as a mother of 2 young girls, I could never role model this dietary approach because of the message I would be sending to them – I am not okay to start them thinking at age 5 and 6 that there are ‘good’ foods and ‘bad’ foods and that certain foods should be avoided at all costs. I see firsthand as a dietitian that specializes in eating disorders how this exposure can start a lifelong unhealthy relationship with food provide more conclusive statements regarding the ketogenic diet. I would not call it a balanced approach by any means, but one that may promote fat loss and may have a performance beneit for ultra-endurance athletes (this has yet to be clearly shown. Otherwise I believe there are many other dietary approaches that have shown to enhance performance (and can still support weight loss if desired).


A lot of us here have experience on how to cut expenses. I'm a pencil pusher and a list maker as well - this vs that and how much can we save by doing it. It's crazy. We had less income, yet it seemed like we had more.
The garden was where I saved the most money. My goal was to grow enough to last us until the next year's harvest. Tomatoes were my favorite as we used so many tomato based products. I was so satisfied when we ate meals that everything came from our place...except the butter. Never thought about it at that time. Ha! Oh, just throwing this out there, I buy organic bulk herbs and spices from Amazon, other organic stuff from Azure Standard - azurestandard.com . I don't grow everything like I used to.
I loved my chickens. Since mine free ranged all day, every day, I didn't feed them until late and most of the time it was scratch grains. Lots of bugs and seeds out here. During the cold season, fermented food is the way to go - healthier birds plus they eat less
Life just got real.
We are going full on getting this done, like in a few weeks. Some things happened and the dam burst.
Already knew the hubby wasn't going to be staying at current job and was on his way out. Well, he is on his way out, like today. His son had something pop up on his face Saturday morning that got progressively worse. Since that time, we've been to the emergency room 3 times, the eye doctor, and admitted to hospital for a day with massive IV antibiotics and steroids to avoid sepsis. He's home now, thank goodness and on the mend.  Really showed us his true colors. This is family, and was a life or death situation, and he threw a fit because he had to cover for hubby one shift. Screw that!
So, the big things we never seemed to have time to get done will now be getting done. In the next few weeks will be getting road work finished, electricity from the pole to house trenched and hooked up, flooring finished, 2 windows fixed, house tied down and skirted, kitchen sink installed, on demand water heater installed. Then the move and getting current house ready to sale. Might be a bit before we get internet out there, in case I go quiet lol.
Not going to panic about the no income for a bit. Hubby has 3 side jobs lined up after we get settled. Heck, income wasn't that great where he was anyways, so any job will pay about the same, but expenses are going way down.
My head is kinda spinning right now, sorry if this is jumbled, haha.
Report more when I can.
Wishing you the best. Yeah, God's timing is not always according to OUR schedule. But, you may, in the long term end up being very thankful that this situation was forced on you. How is your step-son doing right now? Did he get the infection cleared up?
It also sounds like it will be for the best that your DH will not be tied to a job for a while. This will allow him to give his all to getting things done on your new home, and getting your house on the market.
Sounds like a blessing disguise to me. If you have a smart phone, you can pick up internet on it. If not, well, I hope you can get to a connection and update us from time to time. We sat out here for 9 months, I kept up on my cell phone. Finally bit the bullet and got satellite internet. Let us know how things are going!
Nutz!! But I'm glad he's outta there and also hope the son is getting better. Do what you need to do to move in. We moved here with only one room drywalled (not taped), a flush toilet, no permanent heat in the middle of January, temps in the teens or lower. We made it. I can laugh about it now. One day you'll look back and be proud of yourselves for the steps you're taking now.
@Marianne , your story sounds familiar!!!
It is amazing what you CAN do when you have to.
Hope you can update us on occasions -- library has free internet here.  Then get the current home sold.
It will work if you keep the goal in mind and cut all expenses you can. You can do this!
Took the skidsteer back this morning. Some rain Sunday evening caused some hiccups and the hubby didn't get everything completed he would have liked, but it is what it is. The equipment is returned, we can get down the road, and what is left can be done with a shovel and rake.
Watching the grandson this morning while daughter attends summer class. She's got a lot on her plate so I'll probably be pitching in a lot. Going back to college, has a 2 y/o, and will be giving me a granddaughter around Christmas while single (recent split with her hubby, and surprise! preggo!) at age 30. It's all good, she is out of the abusive relationship and is trying to better herself. Guess she figured if her mom could do it, so can she. (Okay, I only had her, she might find it a wee bit tougher). Had originally went to college at age 29 and got 2 different associate degrees, then recently went back for my bachelors. Graduated last December and still haven't decided what avenue to pursue with it. We decided that I was to wait until we get moved before I did anything and that is in the works. But we may just decide to keep it one income for us.
This week we intend on getting the electric line trenched and attached. I have this giddy feeling once we have power there I won't be able to stay away, haha. Hey, we do already have a couch and love seat there, I can just sleep on that, right? We got them from a former co-worker for free and they are better than what we currently have. So when it comes time to move, current couch and recliner stays with house, cuts down on moving them, yay!
Speaking of moving things, I don't think it will be too bad. All the kitchen appliances in current house are staying. Hubby had a stove and fridge that were his when he was single and they are sitting in his family storage building about 500ft from our place. The dryer is also staying since he has that in storage as well, moving the washing machine. Have 3 beds here, only 2 are going, one staying. Heck, current house will be marketed as partially furnished. Free heavy dresser I found is staying. Small but heavy dining room table going and small deep freeze. Weird glass entertainment center going, unfortunately (I hate it, but it's what we have). That's it for the big stuff, the rest can be moved easily. Hubby has a beat-up pickup truck and small trailer and I have a minivan with stow-n-go seats. The house is about 5 miles from where we currently live. Shouldn't be too horrible.
Should also point out again that we are going 1/3rd smaller living space, from 1280sqft to 840sqft. There's a lot that is going to be sold, donated or come with the house. Have I mentioned I was previously intentionally houseless a few years ago and living out of a van for 6 months? hehe Had everything I could need in it and it was liberating. Now I feel like we just have too much darn stuff!!! I'm glad we are going to a smaller house and will be forced to pair down. You don't own the stuff, the stuff owns you.. how true!
Between 2010 and 2012 I had the brand spankin' new house in south Texas with a big pretty mortgage and all new nice heavy furniture in a 2000sqft house. At the time it was high dual-income and daughter grown and out of the house. Then former hubby got cancer, fought it for 2 years and didn't survive (one of the best man I ever knew).  Heavy expensive stuff. And I hated it. Lugged that stuff for almost 4 years and a few moves. It was a huge burden on my shoulders. I wanted freedom from it and all it came with.  Fixed up a full-size van, took some trips to 6 states, couldn't take it anymore where I was living and left. Thankfully the guy offered to buy my house full of stuff in one shot. WAYYYY under what I paid but I took it to be free. For 6 months I had everything I needed in that van and loved it! I house sat for a few months, stayed in my parents driveway a few months, was figuring stuff out when current house fell in my lap. My sis found it, I paid $1500 for current house, and put a few grand into it fixing it up and have been here 3 years. And... in 3 years it seems that it just keeps accumulating stuff. My new hubby kind of picks on me for my 'minimalist and uncluttered' ways, but really it still seems like we got too much darn stuff. This move will be a great purge.
Haha.. kind of rambled there, sorry.
I LIKE you, Reice!
Thanks for giving us such a detailed story. And yes, the "stuff" does seem to grow and multiply doesn't it?? I always seem to be giving stuff away and yet there's always more.


Audi really has moved the TT's game on here. Starting with a far stiffer structure, a slightly lower centre of gravity, wider front and rear tracks, and electromechanical steering tuned for better feedback, this TT is a much better drive than the previous model. It's also lighter, thanks mainly to a body structure that is 69% aluminium in the coupe, 58% in the roadster.
The optional 'magnetic ride' suspension also adapts the stiffness of the dampers to react to the way the car is being driven and the type of road. Go hard on the twisties and the suspension stiffens up, lighten up on the motorway and the ride gets more compliant. There's also the option of a 'sport' setting, which firms things up regardless.
The system works well most of the time, although it can be caught out by rough, broken patches of tarmac when you're just cruising.
The TT isn't quite as much a pure driver's car as something like BMW's Z4 Coupe - front-drive or four-wheel drive Quattro will never be as throttle-adjustable as rear-wheel drive - but it is a much better drive than before. For the majority, the TT is a massively secure, confidence-inspiring drive, even at high speeds and on challenging roads.
Two engines are offered from launch: a 200bhp50bhp 3.2-litre V6. With either engine, Audi's optional S-Tronic (nee DSG) six-speed manual auto is well worth a look. In manual mode, the shifts are lightning quick (you couldn't do it this fast with a full manual) and, in automatic mode, the smoothness is surreal. S-Tronic-equipped TTs also deliver more mpg and faster acceleration than the manual equivalent.
The roadster's figures are an also highly impressive 6.7sec 0-62mph time and 147mph top speed for the 2.0, and 6.1sec and a top speed governed to 155mph for the V6, with a similar fuel consumption penalty incurred by the bigger engine.
