Hey guys, this question has been playing on my mind ever since i started a couple of weeks ago- is it bad to have carbs late in the day?
Okay first off i'll start by saying that i know it doesn't say do NOT do it in the book. Im just really torn!
I've heard various different perspectives on the subject. The reason i ask is because i have less weight to lose than most people, therefore its harder for me to lose weight. Im only looking to lose max 10 kg's. because of this, i was told to avoid starchy carbs (rice, pasta bread) for the last 2 meals of the day and only have fibrous carbs (veggies and salad). so, ive been trying it and for the first week it was a peice of cake but now i'm really struggeling with it. ive been going to bed most nights hungry, frustrated and even struggeling to sleep. so i've decided to just eat normal carbs and not just salad. i just had a cottage cheese sandwhich for my 2nd last meal of the day, and i know i'll want another one for my last meal because i get so hungry! but i feel so bad about it mentally! especially because excess carbs are stored as fat and most likely, if your eating carbs after 6 pm (just an estimate), your not going to use them because you dont need them, and your going to lose much less weight over the 12 weeks?
also, how much bread a day do you think is too much?
i would be so greatful if you guys could help me out. :)
Depends on the bread. :-) Make sure whatever you eat it is on the authorized food list either in the book or on this website.
Carbs aren't bad to have at night. Some people can do it and some can't. I personally through trial and error found that by not having a carb for my last meal worked. It wasn't detrimental when I did have it but I did notice I wasn't making progress based on what some people were reporting. So I say do the portion of protein and portion of carb and see if you make progress (assuming you are doing everything else by the book). If you don't see progress then cut the carb for meal 6 and see what happens. Just my 2 cents and please know I am no specially trained or certified expert. :-)
Love you some you...PERSEVERE!
Hello Aussiebel,
This is such a good question and one that is often controversal. As you know carbohydrates are the main source of fuel for workout's, and brain power. If you or anyone avoids carbs all-together it can hinder your ability to gain lean muscle, stifle muscle recovery and be detrimental to your health.
With that said, their are processed carbs and unprocessed carbs. Unprocessed carbs are low glycemic and are generally found in nature. You should try to eat unprocessed carbs. For example, brown rice, oatmeal, whole grain breads, jams, beans, red potatoes, and barley (please see the Body-For-Life list of carbs for a complete list)
Now to your question, should you eat carbs late in the day? This really depends on your goals, your metabolism and if you are eating enough calories and carbs throughout the day. Some people choose not to eat carbs. in the evening or low their carb ratio in the evening because eating carbohydrates at night can, under certain circumstances, can cause you to store the calories as fat.
Research has said, avoiding or lower your carbohydrate intake late at night, when trying to get cut, is to harness the body's output of growth hormone (GH), which is released at night within the first 90 minutes of deep sleep. GH is beneficial if you wish to shed fat and hold muscle. This is not a one-size-fits all theory.
I personally would see how you feel and look after a carb. reduction in the evening and without the reduction. I have found it beneficial to me to eat carbs. in the evening along with protein so that my body recovers from my intense workouts.
I know exactly what you are saying as when I had the last 10 pounds or so to lose it would not budge, it drove me crazy wondering what to do.
The first thing I noticed in your post was the suggestion not to eat rice, spuds etc for the last 2 meals, that would include dinner which I think is wrong and it's not going to hurt you or make a difference, if fact you need a carb then, I'd be starving too not including them then.
I went through the same things, going to bed hungry and not sleeping, it's awful isn't it! I think it is trial and error, definitely make sure you are eating enough all day, and add a carb for your last meal and see if it does make a difference, if it does cut it back and try to find something that's going to keep you from feeling starving.
As for the bread, don't know if you've tried Ezekiel breads, they took some getting used to but now I love them but if the bread is whole wheat and healthy I know you can eat it. Me, I'm a bread lover so couldn't just eat rice, spuds etc without some bread, it'd be torture and I wouldn't keep to it.
It is harder when you have less weight to lose, along with the eating carbs make sure you are changing up your exercises, if you've been doing squats do walking lunges, lift heavier weights etc, anything to shock your body, it does work.
One thing is though you can't keep going to bed hungry and not sleeping beacuse of it so experiment, see how you feel, all the best:)
Let's clear this up real quick.
1. Your body burns X amount of calories in a day, so regardless if you eat carbs at night or not, you are still going to burn X amount of calories.
2. Your body does not have a Reset Button. Sure you may not be doing a workout right before bed, but that doesn't mean they get stored as fat immediately.
3. How carbs work. They are broken down into glucose and stored in skeletal muscle and the liver so that when you do workout the next day, you can do so intensely and with great energy. So if you eat carbs at night, they are going to be stored not as fat, but as glycogen to be used for quick burst of energy later on.
I have eaten meals as late as 1am and still lost 2-3 lbs a week.
I think the best mindset shift I ever had was when instead of trying to eat less, I started 'Eating to support training.'
People who are saying don't eat starch late on day are just handing down old myths. Is it bad that you don't eat carbs late in the day? No. But it surely will not hurt your progress to eat them either.

|"Victim blaming" started
quite early on as this article
from 1929 illustrates
Unfortunately, it did happen again. These days, there are 1.2 million people killed every year by car crashes and another 50 million injured. If road deaths continue to grow at the expected rate, it is estimated that we will have seen growth of more than 60% between 2000 and 2020, meaning that nearly 2 million people per year will lose their lives in car crashes by that time.
"Most of these injuries will occur in developing countries where more and more people are using motorized transport. In these countries, cyclists, motorcyclists, users of public transport, and pedestrians are especially vulnerable to road traffic injuries."
|An Atomic Bomb. Not nearly so
deadly as automobiles.
Why do we put up with this ? I have a theory. I've noticed that while the lethality of motor vehicles might seem obvious given the results, people are often very surprised when cars crash and the results are serious. Cars are marketed as being safe.
If we fall when walking, the magnitude of the injury is quite close to what people expect. Normally you'll do no harm at all or perhaps get a minor injury such as a sprained ankle or scraped knee. You can go faster if you run, but you get worn out quickly.
Cycling is a little more unpredictable. We've used a machine to make ourselves faster, but it still takes considerable human effort to raise our speeds much (there's a calculator here which shows how much effort for different speeds). Higher speeds are possible only after you've cycled enough to build the muscles, and experience comes at the same time. Falls hurt much more if you're going faster. If we fall while descending a hill the crash can be particularly dangerous. However, at least when you cycle you know it's going to hurt if you fall off. Personally, I like riding fast, but I'm a timid descender of hills.
Cars give another considerable increase in speed, and there is a further difference. You can go fast for no real effort, and with no practice or skill required. What's more, cars remove the cues that normally make us realise we're travelling fast, such as wind noise, and the feeling of wind in the hair and on the face.
Driving feels safe. It's so sanitised an experience that it's actually boring enough for people to fall asleep while driving at speeds which would keep you very much awake on a bicycle.
This is why it's such a surprise. People often simply don't know what happened when they crashed a car. They're not concentrating on this mundane task. Those who are looking for a thrill in a car tend to drive dangerously. That's not a problem for society if they do so on closed circuits but is if they do it on the public roads. Given that many people claim to like cars and like driving, I've long wondered why so few take up motor sport so they can try their skills.
Anyway, somewhere in middle of this confusion comes the blame shifting. If you walk into someone in the street you would not blame the other person. If you cycle into someone you also probably wouldn't. However, driving somehow changes this. The victims frequently get the blame.
Of course, there is a simple way to solve this problem: Design conflict and risk out of roads by following the principles of sustainable safety.
1.2 million deaths per year are tragic enough, but they're actually just the tip of the ice-berg. There are also 50 million people injured each year by cars. What's more the deaths due to crashes are not all of the deaths. It is difficult to pin down exactly, but some estimates put deaths due to pollution from cars at ten times the figures for crashes and deaths due to effects such as obesity due to a sedentary lifestyle assisted by the car are also significant.
The image at the top left comes from the December 1929 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine. Exactly the same policies, of shifting blame onto pedestrians for being hit by cars, exist all around the world, including in current safety campaigns in the UK.

It's not recommended to vent into the attic, although it is done alot. You are exhausting moist air - anytime except the summer, it will condense in the attic, wet the insulation, and just move the problem.
There is usually enough leakage in a house so you won't run into a problem running an exhaust fan. IF the house is truely very tight, it could be a problem (but I doubt it). If you wanted to do it high-tech, you'd put in a heat recovery system - this would extract heat from the outgoing air, and use it to warm the incoming air. Neat, but not usually necessary unless you have people showering all day.
At least one company makes a fan control with a humidistat. It runs the fan only until the humidity drops to the specified level - this way it doesn't run forever and waste your heat and/or a/c. BTW, the heat recovery system also moderates the incoming air in the summer - it cools it as the exhaust goes out.


text: A condensing WH is very similar to a boiler. On those, the fan is often pressurizing the air/fuel mixture rather than trying to vent the exhaust, so it is sort of like a turbo charger on a car...it's function is significantly muffled. A good boiler is virtually silent a few feet from it. You didn't say how you heat the house, or I missed it. If you have a boiler, then an indirect WH is the way to go, plumbed as a zone to the boiler. Obviously, doesn't work with a furnace, though. I've lived in several houses with (older) tankless systems, and know how they worked...didn't like them, so maybe I'm biased...I'm sure the new ones are a lot better, but they still have their problems, especially when living as far north as you do where incoming winter water temperatures are near freezing at times. Heating the water as you use it those extra 10-20 degrees or more means significant size grades, or multiple units over what those living much further south require. Then, you may need to upgrade your gas service, and don't think about a big electrical one where you live. Given that you have a rental unit, and you can't control their use, you are probably best off with a bigger tank to minimize complaints. Two modest users at the same time is probably all you could expect out of 1/2" supply lines to the house. If you run the WH at a higher temperature and then use a tempering valve on the outlet (required by code where I live), that can make the WH tank 'look' larger since it's mixing cold to bring the temp down, at least when the tank is still hot. By going to any closed combustion, where you're drawing combustion air from outside rather than inside, you'll notice an increase in comfort and economy in the home.

Q: Who are John and Hank?
A: John is the Printz Award-winning author of Looking for Alaska, An abundance of Katherines and the NYT Best Seller Paper Towns. He lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, with his lovely wife Sarah, his son Henry and his dog Willy. His brother Hank is the brain behind Ecogeek, the web's largest environmental technology blog. Hank lives with his wife, cat and XBox 360 in Missoula, Montana.
Q: What is Brotherhood 2.0?
A: After noticing that their relationship had for years consisted primarily of emails and instant messages, John and Hank swore off all textual communication with each other for 2007. Instead, they made public video blogs back and forth every weekday for the entire year. (They got holidays off.)
Q: What's a Nerdfighter?
A: Hmm. Watch the videos from February 1st, February 17th, and July 25th. They are all pretty good at summing up what we are :D.
Q. In your introductory animation, it says "365 Days of Communcation." Can you not spell or something?
A. We can spell just fine, thanks. The I was left out to remind our viewers: THERE IS NO I IN BROTHERHOOD!
Q. That's stupid.
A. Okay, we couldn't make the animation work with the correct spelling. It kept breaking.
Q. The intro says that you were going to have "365 Days" of textless communcation, but you didn't post on weekends? What gives?
A. We get a lot of questions about semantics. It's almost like all our fans are librarians and editors or something. Anyway, you do not need to post a video blog in order to have textless communication.
Q. Why does John call his wife the Yeti?
A. Watch the video from January 2nd.
Q. What's the song from the B2.0 intro?
A. It's Death Cab for Cutie's "Brothers on a Hotel Bed."
Q. What is all this crap about In Your Pants?
A. It's complicated. But it all started with our friend Maureen Johnson. (See January 23rd)
Q. What equipment do you use?
A. Hank and John used identical Canon Elura 100 camcorders, which their parents bought them on Christmas Eve 2006. They now both use Canon HV30s, the best pro-am Mini-DV camcorder in existence. Hank also owns a Canon WD-H43 Wide Angle lens. The brothers edited their videos in iMovie, but have since switched to Final Cut Express.
Q. What do your parents think about this?
A. "The parents are bemused but supportive."
Q. What is the "Evil Baby Orphanage" I keep hearing about?
A. This idea came out of the moral dilemma of whether it is ok to kill baby Hitler, who has technically done nothing wrong. Instead, Nerdfighters propose that we time-travel back to take them as babies to a remote location where they are brought up in a nurturing environment and can therefore do no harm.
Q. What does "jokes" or "so jokes" mean?
A. It started in the July 25 video. It basically is replacing cool with jokes which is totally so jokes.
Q. What does DFTBA mean?
A. DFTBA stands for Don't Forget To Be Awesome something we should never forget but nerdfighters have found some other very interesting things is stand for too which Hank expressed in an awesome video.
Q. How do I get in touch with the webmasters or "ningmasters"
A. You can email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Q. A lot of people have been asking "WHO THE EFF IS HANK?!"
A. To be honest we just don't know. We have set up a committee to find out and we'll get back to you on that.
Q. Is one still able to become a Secret Sibling?
A. Hmmm. All you had to do to become one was occasionally post video responses to Hank or John's videos.Unfortunately, Youtube has now phased out video responses. Please keep tuned while we try to find an acceptable solution.
Q. What is a Decepticon?
A. One of the many inside jokes that emerged from Brotherhood 2.0, but generally they are the mortal enemies of Nerdfighters (popular people). The term first came about in Hank's video on July 3rd, 2007.
Q. Why won't John sing anymore?
A. John has written and preformed three songs during 2007, but due to his lack of musical talent gave the Nerdfighters a gift on December 31st, 2007 (the gift of course being that he wouldn't sing anymore).
Q. What does "bedododo" mean and where did it come from?
A. Bedododo was created by Alex Day, a known Nerdfighter, video blogger and musician. Alex first introduced the term in a video he created called, "the Cheer of the Nerdfighters" and although the video has since been deleted the term remains to this day. It is most commonly used as a greeting and/or a way to express happiness.
Q. What's the name of Hank's cat?
A. Cameo
Q. How can Hank can eat meat if he is an environmentalist?
A. Although its not exact, this video does a pretty good job of summarizing Hank's view on eating meat.
Q. Isn't Hank green that guy from the little shorts in cyberchase?
A. No. To the best of my knowledge the only television network Hank's ever been on is the Weather Channel.
Q. Where did the nerd fighters hand sign come from?
A.The Short Answer (provided by Nerdfighter Vivian Hernandez): The nerdfighters hand sign is Spock's signature "Live long and prosper" from Star Trek. It's just done on both hands except one, with palms facing inwards.
The Long Answer (provided by Chrissy PokémonMaster Davies): The hand sign is a take-off of the Vulcan Salute, which was used by the Vulcans as a gesture of good will, good manners and awesomeness, meaning "Live Long and Prosper." Lenonard Nimoy (if you want to know more about Spok, google Leonard Nimoy or watch some Original Series Star Trek episodes) played Spock on the original series of Star Trek, and developed the hand gesture based on a Blessing given by Jewish Kohanim. It represents the Hebrew letter Shin, which looks a lot like the hand gesture, and means Almighty God.
Strangely enough, the Nerdfighters gesture is more like the Shin than Nimoy's depiction.

The New York City Fire Department and Tishman Speyer will celebrate Fire Prevention Week 2012 with the swearing in of more than 300 junior firefighters at Rockefeller Center on Tuesday October 9, 2012 at 11 a.m. In addition, at the ceremony, Fireman's Funds Insurance and Vanderbilt Properties will award a $25,000 grant to the FDNY Foundation to support the Department's Fire Safety Education initiatives.
Children from schools in all five boroughs will be on the Plaza at Rockefeller Center wearing red fire helmets and learning valuable lessons in fire safety from members of the FDNY Fire Safety Education Unit. All children will have the opportunity to interact with firefighters and fire apparatus, as well as the chance to view demonstrations by FDNY members. Every child will take the Junior Firefighter's Pledge, an oath designed to remind children to practice fire safety and share it with their family and friends. The oath will be administered by Fire Commissioner Salvatore J. Cassano.
"Instilling the importance of fire safety education in the communities we serve, especially to young children, is one of the most important duties of the Fire Department," said Commissioner Cassano. "Each year, through the great work of our Firefighters and the FDNY Foundation - and thanks to support from loyal partners like Tishman Speyer, Fireman's Fund Insurance and Vanderbilt Properties - we bring the vital message of fire safety directly to hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers."

I cannot believe that the city I grew up in, have lived in for more than 40 years and am now raising my family in has turned into such a bureaucratic microcosm of the world we live in today.
We can spend more than $15 million on a pier and $150,000-plus on some orchids, yet we now want to charge the blind for public transit?
Merry Christmas, Burlington!

Initially, I simply listed about 10 of my favorite films thinking this would be an interesting bit of personal information for my students to get to know me better. Turns out the interest in my academic credentials is dwarfed by the overall interest in my favorite movies. Who knew? Anyway, for this reason I have chosen to expand my list of favorites into a few distinct categories. They are listed below with links to each category. I welcome a healthy debate on any of these films!
I also used to participate in a weekly radio show on SUU's Power 91 (with DJ Angie Smith). The show was called "Movie Time with Kevin Stein" (I know...great title!) and features discussion on a variety of movie topics. I was once told I have a face for radio, which I'm pretty sure is not a compliment. Hopefully, my soothing monotone voice and our stimulating content will leave you riveted.

I think this is blown way out of portion. Stafford was used to set with Potential Coaches as well. Peyton coming out demanded his team, Then he met with the Coach before going to Denver extensively to make sure he was still going to be in control of the offensive.
So why not have Griffin meet with Potential Coaches and let them tell him what they see he can do to improve and how they can use his talents with an offensive game plan..
Cousins was not being mean in my opinion just saying that they would be involved in the search. Why would they not be considering RGIII is the #1 QB until disproving.
Everyone should just relax and lets see what happens with the Front Office rebuilding solutions.

Ropin' the Dream - by Ruth Lance Wester
Ruth Lance -- Book Ropin' the Dream: The Story of the Ken Lance Sports Arena, 1964-1994 - written by Ruth Lance Wester and June Proctor. Oklahoma cowboy Ken Lance turned a watermelon patch into a showcase rodeo arena bringing champions out of the chutes and Nashville stars on stage. They said it couldn't be done. When Oklahoma trick roper Ken Lance married Ruth Whitlock, he knew he had found the woman who would share his rodeo cowboy dream. She rode into the arena in Chicago, December 1961, as the rodeo princess, and returned with Ken to Oklahoma as his wife and business partner for the next twenty-five years. Together, with their dads, the four of them combined their rescources to build the Ken Lance Sports Arena and restored the annual Ada rodeo to its pre-World War II glory, as the second largest outdoor rodeo in the nation. From the dirt-poor days of the rodeo cowboy in the 1960's to the millionaire cowboys of the 1980's and 1990's, Ken and Ruth worked to produce a professional rodeo at a price that ordinary folks could afford. (It is now the home of The Gospel Station's 3-Crosses/Ken Lance Arena, Cowboy Church and Youth Camp).

Train operator Greater Anglia is no longer putting a timeframe on when it hopes to resume services tomorrow. On its website, it says trains will start "as soon as it is safe to do so". Earlier today, Greater Anglia had stated services would not be running until at least 10am.
To report a power cut or damaged power lines, residents can call UK Power Networks on 0800 783 8838.
Any issues with the roads run by Essex County Council can be reported to its Highways department on 0845 603 7631.
If there are issues with fallen trees which are not affecting the road network in the county council area they can call 0845 606 7624.
Essex Police are asking people to call 101 to report any weather-related issues unless it is a genuine emergency.
Current forecasts suggest that the strongest winds are likely to hit Essex between midnight and 6am on Christmas Eve with the possibility that trees may be blown down and some damage could be caused to buildings.
Chief Superintendent Andy Prophet, of Essex Police, said: "We would advise people not to travel unless absolutely necessary until the winds have lessened and to take appropriate steps to secure their homes and property against the weather.
"There is a potential for trees and power lines to come down as a result of the wind and for flying debris to be a danger at the peak of the storm. If possible, people should stay inside until the worst of the weather has passed.
"If someone is in a situation where life is threatened or there is a genuine emergency then people should call 999 but to allow police to deal with the most vital calls we would ask members of the public to call 101 in less extreme circumstances."
Predicted average wind speeds at 1am. Gusts will be around 80-85mph at the same time via @WeatherCast_UK: http://t.co/M6AIK551h5— @EssexWeather 23 December 2013

Be prepared for any fallen trees or flying debris especially if you are out and about tonight and into the morning. @PreparedInEssex— @MaldonDC 23 December 2013
Essex County Council has not yet confirmed if it will keep street lights switched on overnight. The authority suspended its part-night lighting scheme, which operates in Colchester, Braintree, Maldon and Uttlesford districts, during October's St Jude storm.
The Christmas tree in Witham town centre has been removed after being damaged in the bad weather.
A Braintree Council spokesman said: "Despite efforts to repair the tree, unfortunately it has become unsafe, and with the expected high winds over tonight and tomorrow a joint decision has been taken by the Rotary Club, town and district councils to remove it.
"A tree surgeon will be on site shorty, and will be accompanied by district council staff who will clear the debris and ensure the site is safe."
More from Essex Weather Centre meteorologist Tom Defty: "The Met Office warning for 85mph winds I have never seen before for Essex, so who knows what Friday's storm will bring.
"It is not a good Christmas and certainly not a white Christmas - it is certainly a very bleak outlook."
Travel: The Dartford Crossing QE2 bridge is now CLOSED due to high winds. Diversion via the east tunnel. Long delays. http://t.co/L6ETOwfxF5— @YourSouthend 23 December 2013
Christmas has finished early in Witham as they are dismantling the Christmas tree in the high street. #UKStorm— @jordan_welshy 23 December 2013
Power cuts this evening/overnight in parts of Essex 'inevitable' according to @UKPowerNetworks and households should plan ahead— @EssexWeather 23 December 2013
Tom Defty, from the Essex Weather Centre, has warned tonight's storm could be worse than the St Jude storm in late October, because it will be longer-lasting.
He said: "The difference between this and the storm in October is the duration.
"It could be 12 hours, rather than just one or two, so the effect on the power network and transport will be greater.
"There will be another storm on Friday, so it is two big events in five days."

Click here to read the latest advice from Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Residents are being advised to be prepared to move furniture and property upstairs if they are concerned about water entering their home.
Essex County Council (ECC) is putting extra highways crews on standby to help clear debris from the road network and assist partner organisations.
Rodney Bass, ECC cabinet member for highways and transportation, said: "I would urge residents to travel with caution during these expected stormy conditions by leaving sufficient time to travel and by ensuring their vehicles are best prepared to deal with adverse conditions and traffic disruption.
"It is also advisable before setting out to check the latest weather forecasts and travel updates on local radio and online."
The latest Met Office warning for the region predicts gusts of up to 85mph.
A statement said: "The public should be prepared for disruption, particularly to travel and for interruptions to power supplies."
Greater Anglia's decision not to run replacement bus services while it suspends trains tomorrow morning has been criticised by a rail user group.
David Bigg, chairman of Witham and Braintree Rail Users Association, said: "It is the right decision giving everyone warning and even putting out written notices.
"But they should try to make some provision for buses, which they aren't going to do.
"There is no school run, so there should be buses available and I am surprised no effort has been made as some people simply must go to work."

The storm, which is set to hit today, is officially named "Dirk."
Greater Anglia will be running trains at a reduced speed from 6pm until the end of today.
It will then be running no services at all on its network until 10am tomorrow.
A spokesman said: "This is to allow us to run train at low speed along each line on our network in daylight in order to check for damage to overhead wires and/or any debris from the storm.
"This will ensure that we can safely run trains and we will update customers throughout Tuesday morning as lines reopen.
"Customers are advised that replacement buses will not be available and are advised not to travel before 10am as well as checking their line is open prior to setting out."

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for wind and rain from 7am today until 9am tomorrow morning.
A Met Office spokesman said: "Another intense area of low pressure is expected to track close to the UK during Monday and into Christmas Eve.
"Associated heavy rain is expected to affect southern parts of England and Wales where the ground remains saturated following earlier heavy rainfall.
"Very strong south to southwesterly winds will accompany the rain, especially along exposed coasts and hills where gales or severe gales are likely."

Afghanistan: a necessary warThursday, August 20th, 2009
There's a new casualty of the war we didn't need to fight: the war we needed to fight.
According to an AC News/Washington Post poll released this week, a minority of Americans now support the war in Afghanistan. Democrats especially have soured on the conflict, especially since President Obama announced that he plans to send more American troops.
After the U.S. Routed the Taliban, which had sheltered Al-Qaeda before 9/11, President Bush correctly ordered a campaign to defeat the Taliban. But before that defeat could be consolidated and Afghanistan given economic help, Mr. Bush shifted his priorities to Iraq. He even let Osama bin Laden escape capture.
The Afghanistan war remains important, since the enemy is the Taliban and the neighborhood includes nuclear-armed Pakistan. But American casualties have increased dramatically this year, and with the American economy still hurting, the poll numbers aren't surprising.
Still, we believe that Afghanistan is a war worth fighting. What do you think? Take our poll.

Planned Parenthood Recognizes AIDS Healthcare Foundation for Collaboration on Get Yourself Tested Campaign
Statement from Planned Parenthood Federation of America Vice President for Medical Affairs Dr. Vanessa Cullins
Planned Parenthood Federation of America would like to thank the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) for its collaborative efforts in the 'Get Yourself Tested' (GYT) campaign. AHF has a network of health centers and is the nations largest provider of HIV/AIDS medical care as well as an advocacy organization. The AHF support of HIV prevention initiatives and services has made possible special HIV testing events leading up to National HIV Testing Day, June 27. Earlier this year, the AHF also supported HIV testing events in other parts of the country as part of the GYT campaign.
As part of the first Be Greater Than AIDS: Get Yourself Tested Week, Planned Parenthood health centers in participating cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Albany, and Washington, DC will be providing free or low-cost HIV testing on select days leading up to National HIV Testing Day. Counseling on other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) will also be provided. To make the week as successful as possible, AHF donated HIV testing kits to Planned Parenthood affiliates in Albany, Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, and New York City.
National HIV Testing Day is a great reminder to get yourself tested for HIV and other STDs. More than 200,000 Americans living with HIV dont even know they have it. Regular testing and consistent use of condoms are the best ways to ensure your health and that of your partner.
By the age of 25, half of all sexually active people in the United States will contract an STD. In response to the staggering rates of STDs among young people, GYT, a partnership between Planned Parenthood, MTV, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), encourages people under age 25 to talk to their health care providers and partners about getting tested.

Narrow your search
Clicker really was made for a living-room app like Boxee. But Boxee itself is feeling a bit crowded.
This online video directory service is the best TV search engine we've seen.
Clicker, a good site for finding mainstream video content, gets a "10-foot" site for TVs to complement its computer-friendly site.
Clicker wants to be the TV Guide of Internet video with its new video discovery site that's part search engine, part directory and part wiki says CEO Jim Lanzone.
Utilities Updates: Salling Clicker 2.2; Address-O-Matic 1.0.0d3; OSX Serial Port Tool 1.0; more
Utilities Updates: MimMac 1.6.3; Salling Clicker 3.0; CLIX 1.7d; Sound Studio 3.0; more
The company's clicker for its 2014 Smart TVs supports Nintendo Wii-like motion control, offers a smaller trackpad, and has more dedicated buttons than before -- including actual DVR controls. We went hands-on with an early version.
The late-night comedian seems troubled by Fox News' new vast tablets -- and, well, Shepard Smith's lightsaber.
The two higher-end models feature built-in Wi-Fi, AirPlay and Bluetooth, plus aptX and NFC compatibility.
The CBS division, which publishes CNET, has hired the former CEO of Ask.com and acquired his current start-up, Clicker.

WHEELING - An engaged couple's backpacking trip in the Caucasus Mountains is derailed by a single misstep that threatens to undo everything the pair believed about each other and about themselves in "The Loneliest Planet," a breathtaking thriller that will be shown at Towngate Cinema Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 28, 29 and 30.
Alex and Nica are young, in love and engaged to be married. The summer before their wedding, they are backpacking in the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia. The couple hires a local guide to lead them on a camping trek, and the three set off into a stunning wilderness, a landscape that is both overwhelmingly open and frighteningly closed. Walking for hours, they trade anecdotes, play games to pass the time of moving through space. And then, a momentary misstep occurs, a gesture that takes only two or three seconds, a gesture that's over almost as soon as it begins. But once it is done, it can't be undone. Once it is done, it threatens to undo everything the couple believed about each other and about themselves. All the while, they are not alone. They are always with the guide, who witnesses their every move. The film plays off the relationship between young travelers and the places they travel to, between guide and guided. But at heart, it is a love story - a tale about betrayal, both accidental and deliberate, about masculinity, failure and the ambiguities of forgiveness.
"The Loneliest Planet" is not rated and will be shown at 7 and 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 28; 4, 7 and 9 p.m. Saturday, Dec.29 and 2 and 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 30.

A poor Indian named Cuauhtlatohuac was baptized and given the name Juan Diego. He was a 57-year-old widower and lived in a small village near Mexico City. On Saturday morning, December 9, 1531, he was on his way to a nearby barrio to attend Mass in honor of Our Lady.
He was walking by a hill called Tepeyac when he heard beautiful music like the warbling of birds. A radiant cloud appeared and within it a young Native American maiden dressed like an Aztec princess. The lady spoke to him in his own language and sent him to the bishop of Mexico, a Franciscan named Juan de Zumarraga. The bishop was to build a chapel in the place where the lady appeared.
Eventually the bishop told Juan Diego to have the lady give him a sign. About this same time Juan Diego's uncle became seriously ill. This led poor Diego to try to avoid the lady. The lady found Diego, nevertheless, assured him that his uncle would recover and provided roses for Juan to carry to the bishop in his cape or tilma.
When Juan Diego opened his tilma in the bishop's presence, the roses fell to the ground and the bishop sank to his knees. On Juan Diego's tilma appeared an image of Mary exactly as she had appeared at the hill of Tepeyac. It was December 12, 1531.

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON – Unanimous but far from united, the Senate advanced legislation to prevent a partial government shutdown on Wednesday, the 100-0 vote certain to mark merely a brief pause in a fierce partisan struggle over the future of President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas talks to reporters as he emerges from the Senate Chamber on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Sept 25, 2013, after his overnight crusade railing against the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as "Obamacare." Cruz ended the marathon Senate speech opposing President Barack Obama's health care law after talking for 21 hours, 19 minutes.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nev., and other lawmakers meet with new mothers and their babies on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2013, to criticize Republican efforts to kill the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as "Obamacare." Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., said Democrats would defend President Obama's health care law, adding, she would not return to a time when insurance companies denied benefits to women because being a pregnant was considered a preexisting condition. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
The vote came shortly after Texas Sen. Ted Cruz held the Senate in session overnight — and the Twitterverse in his thrall — with a near-22-hour speech that charmed the tea party wing of the GOP, irritated the leadership and was meant to propel fellow Republican lawmakers into an all-out struggle to extinguish the law.
Defying one's own party leaders is survivable, he declared in pre-dawn remarks on the Senate floor. "Ultimately, it is liberating."
Legislation passed by the Republican-controlled House last week would cancel all funds for the three-year-old law, preventing its full implementation. But Senate Democrats have enough votes to restore the funds, and Majority Leader Harry Reid labeled Cruz's turn in the spotlight "a big waste of time."
Any differences between the two houses' legislation must be reconciled and the bill signed into law by next Tuesday to avert a partial shutdown.
The issue is coming to the forefront in Congress as the Obama administration works to assure a smooth launch for the health care overhaul's final major piece, a season of enrollment beginning Oct. 1 for millions who will seek coverage on so-called insurance exchanges.
Health and Human Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters this week that consumers will have an average of 53 plans to choose from, and her department estimated the average individual premium for a benchmark policy known as the "second-lowest cost silver plan" would range from a low of $192 in Minnesota to a high of $516 in Wyoming. Tax credits will bring down the cost for many.
Republicans counter that the legislation is causing employers to defer hiring new workers, lay off existing ones and reduce the hours of still others to hold down costs as they try to ease the impact of the bill's taxes and other requirements.
"Obamacare is destroying jobs. It is driving up health care costs. It is killing health benefits. It is shattering the economy," said Cruz.
Topsy, a search engine that's a preferred partner of Twitter, calculated on its website during the day that there had been about 200,000 tweets containing the words "Ted Cruz" in the previous day.
Eight months in office, he drew handshakes from several conservative lawmakers as he finished speaking and accolades from tea party and other groups. Chris Chocola, president of the Club for Growth, said Americans owe "Cruz a debt of gratitude for standing on principle in the fight to stop Obamacare."
In addition to the praise, Cruz he drew a withering rebuttal from one fellow Republican, Arizona Sen. John McCain.
McCain read aloud Cruz's comments from Tuesday comparing those who doubt the possibility of eradicating the health care law to former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin and others who had suggested Adolf Hitler and the Nazis could not be stopped in the 1940s.
"I resoundingly reject that allegation," said McCain, whose grandfather led U.S. carrier forces in the Pacific during World War II, and whose father commanded two submarines.
"It does a great disservice to those Americans who stood up and said 'what's happening in Europe cannot stand.'"

Sometimes when your digging around for inspiration on one project, something entirely different comes along and sparks your creative fire. This is not a map (which is why I am posting it here) but it was a fun little project. The base shape is one of my container shapes for my doomed Lite Challenge. I started out working to refine the base object a little and as usually happens, my mind went off on it's own and dragged me along. What mysteries lurk behind the door to Section 14-A?.....
Once again I find myself in the claws of artistic crisis. I have been away from mapping for some time now and find myself both bereft of motivation and for the first time also of inspiration. To add to that, I have discovered that I don't really make maps. Let me explain with a couple of pictures. Here's one of a recent work that I completed
Now I am happy with the way it turned out. It fits the story I am trying to tell and it looks pleasing,
The halls of the Guild were warm and smelled of dust and aging paper. He inhaled deeply and felt a broad grin split his wind weathered face. He had been gone far too long this time and was glad to be back among the old friends and new faces....
Another long absence and another joyful return. I have been gone too long and am looking forward to once again being an active member of this wonderful community.
As some of you may have noticed, I have a habit of disappearing occasionally. I will go like gang busters for 6 or so months and then for months at at time my footfalls will seldom be heard on the floors of the Guild. My creativity waxes and wanes as the phases of the moon. I've always been like that. I guess this is why my Kingdom of Shendenflar Campaign Setting has taken nearly 30 years to get to a basic level of "completion". I love the work and the creative energy that mapping entails

Wisconsin: State Assembly leader packing on floor
The Republican lawmaker who presides over the state Assembly said Friday he's been carrying a concealed weapon during floor sessions. Speaker Pro Tem Bill Kramer, of Waukesha, essentially controls the chamber during debate, presiding over procedures and controlling the debate. He also can order spectators out of the chamber if he so chooses.
He said he feels he needs the weapon given the toxic atmosphere at the state Capitol, and he's not the only lawmaker packing in the chamber. "Have you been in the Capitol lately?" Kramer said. "The saying is you don't need a gun until you need it. I hope I go to my grave having never fired at anything but a paper target."
Bands of protesters still angry over Republican Gov. Scott Walker's contentious collective bargaining law have spent the past year harassing GOP legislators.
One threw a beer on state Rep. Robin Vos, R-Burlington, co-chairman of the Legislature's powerful finance committee, in a Madison bar in September. Last week, protesters heckled Walker from the Assembly's overhead galleries as the governor delivered his state-of-the-state address in the chamber. The next night during debate on a divisive mining permit bill, Kramer ordered the galleries cleared after agitators hung a banner over a railing and hurled profanities at lawmakers.
Bands of angry protesters!!! One even threw a beer!!! The inhumanity!!!!There you have it. It's the fault of the Republicans that liberals threaten and give death threats. It's because Republicans didn't do whatever Democrats wanted that there is a threatening environment. They deserve it because they didn't do what we wanted. In one form or another this is the liberal mantra, "it's their fault".southernyankeebelle (3,668 posts) Profile Journal Send DU Mail Ignore

so bad? What is wrong with the republicans? They are the ones who are starting this crap. The president of the United States gives a speech at a prayer breakfast and you have a Congressman walk out as he is giving the speech and you have a senator Hatch get on the floor of the senate and say Obama thinks he is Jesus. All because his speech was about helping the poor and these people call themselves christians? There mad because Obama spoke from the heart and told them what the real Jesus was about. They didn't like it because they think Jesus was a republican.
Why, I was waiting for DUers to denounce those who hecked Walker at the State of the State address. If it's expected that one show respect for the President in the State of the Union address then they certainly should show respect to Walker during the State of the State address. Right?? No. It's crickets. Instead they complain that walking out on a prayer breakfast campaign speech was disrespectful.
When they can show me where Jesus says that "doing to the least of these" means the government taking money by force, deciding where they want to put it after taking "their own" cut I'll agree with them. Where in the bible did He tell governments to do this for Him?

Pop Goes The Easel: Pop Art
From Andy Warhol's Soup Cans to Roy Lichtenstein's Comic Strips, Pop Art Gave New Life to the Question: What Is Art?
Andrew Decker
From the Print Edition:
Sylvester Stallone, Mar/Apr 98
In the mid-1960s, Pop Artist Tom Wesselmann made one painting after another of a woman's painted lips. In each one, a cigarette was wedged in the corner of the mouth, with smoke trailing upward. Aside from the cigarette, the smoke, her teeth and a sliver of her gums, there was nothing else in the paintings. No nose, cheeks, chin, eyes.
And that was art?
Absolutely, as were Roy Lichtenstein's elegant reformulations of comic strips, Andy Warhol's paintings of Campbell soup cans and Coke bottles, and James Rosenquist's fragmentary slices of modern life. Who says it's art? A year ago, the Museum of Modern Art put its money where its mouth is--a rumored $10 million to $15 million for Warhol's 200 Soup Cans and $5 million for Rosenquist's F-111. Lichtenstein's death in September of last year, at age 73, underscored that the movement, as fresh as it is even today, has been with us for decades. The paintings may be colorful and popular, but Pop Art is unquestionably Blue Chip.
When the movement began, in the late 1950s and early '60s, critics didn't think much of it. Pop Art was about images--barrages of everyday images--that cropped up repeatedly in ads, billboards, movies, newspapers. It's hard to imagine today, but back then the idea was radical. Grafting the kitschy banalities of popular culture onto the rarefied world of high art was akin to, well, a president who plays the sax on TV.
What's the point of a smoking mouth? Neal Meltzer, director of Christie's contemporary art department, nails it on the head: "Sex sells." So do paintings of Coke bottles. Marilyn. Comic-strip melodramas. Deflated, oversized light switches. Within a brief 30 years, they have all become part of our culture and an overriding influence in end-of-the-millennium art. Name a hot, big-deal artist of today (Jeff Koons and Matthew Barney come to mind), and their artistic lineage can be traced to Andy Warhol or one of his colleagues. Just how did it happen, and why do these works cost so bloody much?
A slew of important questions have come up in the past century or so: Should women vote? Is God dead? Is there life on Mars? What is art? During the nineteenth century, the answer to the last question was pretty simple: landscapes, allegorical and often Biblical scenes (David holding the head of Goliath, say), genre paintings of jolly peasants, or portraits of some high-minded, or at least wealthy and powerful, person. But then artists started leaving their personal mark on what they were creating, rendering their impressions of things, not presenting some supposedly true-to-life record. In 1874, James Abbott McNeill Whistler turned out a painting that was highly abstract, at least at the time: Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket. A prominent critic charged Whistler with "flinging a pot of paint in the public's face."
At the turn of the century, various streams of modern art were ridiculed for departing too far from reality. Henri Matisse painted landscapes with striking but unnatural colors (red for a beach, and so on) and was deemed a fauvre, or wild beast. Cubism seemed to smash all barriers, breaking vases and even people down into a bunch of disjointed, overlapping planes. Marcel Duchamp took store-bought items--he called them ready-mades--and exhibited them as art, including a urinal laid on its back that he titled Fountain and signed R. Mutt. Duchamp's message was that anything could be art, and he became a star. Late in life, he said, "When I discovered ready-mades I thought to discourage aesthetics.... I threw the bottle rack and urinal in their faces and now they admire them for their aesthetic beauty."
By the mid-1950s, the avant-garde included Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. Not many people liked their paintings, or abstraction in general. Pollock's drip paintings had the look of addled splatterings to all but the cognoscenti. To many, de Kooning's thick slatherings resembled nothing in particular, or maybe the viscera of an oversized mollusk left flattened on a road. (Someday, some curator will put together an exhibition of Pollock's and de Kooning's work, along with a bunch of fakes, just so that people will realize that their kids couldn't do that.) Before long, artists' studios around the world were choked by oversized canvases covered with torrents of paint. Most of it was abstract, and although all of it may have been art, not much was worth looking at.
In the twentieth century's art world, there's a response to every movement. In the telescoped version of the story, the answer to Pollock's and de Kooning's heroic, nearly unconscious grapplings with paint, canvas and their own personal demons was a flag. In 1955, Jasper Johns--an artist making a living doing store-window designs--dreamed that he'd painted a flag, and then did it. Just a flag, flat and stretched out, with feathery, rich brush strokes of encaustic--a bee's wax- and resin-based paint--covering the surface of the painting. Within the art world, the act was a genius stroke of heresy. Johns had gone from the primal howlings of Abstract Expressionism back to cool representation in one painting. The image didn't mean much to the artist himself, though he said, "Using the design of the American flag took care of a great deal for me because I didn't have to design it."
When Johns exhibited his painting at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York in 1958, the Museum of Modern Art bought it immediately. A few years later, de Kooning--unimpressed with Johns' work and grouchy at his success and at Castelli's ability to move art--said, "Give Castelli a couple of beer cans and he'll sell them." The deadpan Johns promptly made a hand-painted bronze of two Ballantine's ale cans, and Castelli promptly sold them.

Courtesy: cyclones.com
Release: 10/15/2007
Travis Paulson enters his third season on Olympic champion Kevin Jackson's staff. Paulson's main duties lie with the Cyclone middleweights (157-174 pounds).
Paulson played an integral role in one of the greatest single-season turnarounds in Iowa State wrestling history in 2012-13, as he coached Michael Moreno to an All-American finish at the 2013 NCAA Championships. Moreno went 5-3 en route to taking sixth at 165 pounds.Moreno, with the guidance of Paulson, finished the year 31-10 after going 4-17 as a redshirt freshman in 2011-12.
As a collegiate wrestler, Paulson was a three-time All-American at Iowa State, ending his Cyclone wrestling career in 2007 with his best NCAA Championships showing. He scored a late come from behind victory to earn fifth-place honors at 165 pounds.
A native of Council Bluffs, Iowa, Paulson tallied a four-year record of 107-32 as a Cyclone. Paulson's impressive win total ties him with Torrae Jackson (1991-93), the younger brother of Kevin, at No. 27 on the ISU career win list. His performance on the mat was replicated in the classroom, as he earned Academic All-Big 12 honors all four years.
Paulson's identical twin brother, Trent, who was also a three-time All-American at Iowa State, serves as the head coach of the Cyclone Wrestling Club.
Paulson graduated from Iowa State in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in business management and a minor in entrepreneurship studies.

Sorry John, Just getting back to it now. Thanks for the offer. I may call you this week if needed. Looks like if I remove the floor in the shower and lower it down to being flush with the joists and double up on the 5/8" thickness then I'll have a good solid floor to build up on. Looks like Schluter linear drain is about 1 1/8" to top of drain / kerdi weatherproofing point meaning I would start tiling from that height above the joist top.
If I add 3/8" plywood on top of the 5/8" osb that is currently on the rest of the floor then floor heating and Ditra then I should be about 1 3/8" above top of floor joists when I start to tile in the bathroom. So with about a 1' of slope from bathroom floor to drain then I'd make up the 1/4" difference in height.
Does this seem to make sense to you? I assume all other linear drains are similar in dimension and mud requirements.
Finished floor height would then be 1.75" above joists. When I redo bedroom floor to hardwood then it would be about 1.5" about floor joists. That should be good for mating with new bathroom floor easily.
