Gasconade River
Executive Summary
The Gasconade River watershed is located within the Ozark Plateau of the Interior Ozark Highlands. The river meanders north to northeast through Webster, Texas, Wright, Laclede, Pulaski, Dent, Maries, Osage, Phelps, and Gasconade counties to join the Missouri River. The Gasconade River is 271 miles long from mouth to headwaters with 263 miles having permanent flow. The Upper and Lower Gasconade River watersheds drain 2,806 square miles. The Upper Gasconade River watershed has an average gradient of 27.6 feet/mile, and the Lower Gasconade River watershed has an average of 3.9 feet/mile. A number of springs within the middle Gasconade River portions are due to the karst geology of the Roubidoux and Gasconade Dolomite Formation and losing stream segments. The karst topography causes losing portions in the Osage Fork, Roubidoux, North Cobb, Little Piney, Spring, and Mill creeks, and Gasconade River. The entire Gasconade River watershed is reported to have 76 springs and the largest concentration of big springs in the state.
As a whole, the Gasconade River watershed is rural with low population density and high farmland density. The most populated areas are Pulaski and Phelps counties, which are experiencing land development from growth surrounding Fort Leonard Wood and the City of Rolla. Lower watershed areas of Maries, Osage, and Gasconade counties have low population density. The Upper and Lower Gasconade River watersheds have 49% and 33%, respectively, grassland and cropland as land use. A general trend in the rural Gasconade River watershed toward increased cattle numbers per pastured acre has continued to the present. Forest comprises approximately 46% of the land cover within the Upper Gasconade River watershed and 66% within the Lower Gasconade River watershed. Forests are in good health and have sustainable forest production. Forest land is largely under private ownership with federally-owned forest having the second largest holdings, followed by state-owned lands having a smaller percentage. Public land is 12% or 221,040 acres within the entire watershed. To provide water-based recreational opportunities, 23 public stream accesses have been developed in the watershed.
Gasconade River watershed annual precipitation ranges from 40.35 to 42.67 inches with a annual mean of 41.66 inches. This precipitation and the local geology provides good base flow conditions and lower variability in stream flow throughout major portions of the watershed. Average runoff had greater extremes from the late 1970s to the present than during the 1960s to the late 1970s.
The Gasconade River watershed's designated stream uses, assigned by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) are warmwater aquatic life protection and fishing, and livestock and wildlife watering. Threats to beneficial uses in the Gasconade River watershed are point and non-point sources of pollutants. The number of point pollution sources and flow from point pollution sources is low. In fact, improvements have been made to point source discharges through monitoring by the MDNR and sewage treatment upgrades. Also, the Gasconade River has recovered well from the December 1988 oil spill that released hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil into the main stem Gasconade River from a broken pipeline near Vienna. On the contrary, non-point source pollution remains a difficult challenge. Numerous MDNR Soil and Water Program Special Area Land Treatment projects in the Upper Gasconade River Hydrologic Unit (HU), and portions of the Upper Osage Fork HU are addressing nutrient problems that have cattle manure as their sources. Sand and gravel mining in sensitive areas can and has effected fisheries, especially sensitive cool- and cold-water fisheries. Other potential non-point pollution sources are two landfills in Wright and Phelps counties. Runoff from farms, mining operations, construction sites, forest operations, residential septics, and impervious surface in urbanized areas create a complex resource management challenge.
The Upper Gasconade River watershed was poorly forested along major segments of its tributaries and main stem compared to the Lower Gasconade River watershed. Thirty-eight percent of the major stream segments within the Upper Gasconade River watershed and 46% of the major segments of the Lower Gasconade River watershed had forested corridors. Results of the corridor quality ratio used to assess stream segments indicated that the Lower Gasconade River watershed had more stream segments rated as good (81%) than the Upper Gasconade River watershed (64%). Based on the land use/ land cover Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis, priority management should be given to those hydrologic units that were rated relatively low on the objective rating scale. The Lower Gasconade River HU was rated as poor due to the lack of forested stream corridor. In addition, the Lower Roubidoux Creek HU, should be given priority management attention because of its sensitive springs, growing human population, and urbanization.
Of the total wetland acreage within the Upper Gasconade River watershed, 0.9% met the nursery wetland criteria and within the Lower Gasconade River watershed another 0.6% met the criteria. The Upper Gasconade River watershed had more temporary and temporary-semipermanent pools than the Lower Gasconade River watershed. High stream density in the Upper Gasconade River watershed is attributed to the difference. Large expanses of pool/riffle complex habitat can be found in the Upper Gasconade River, especially in the Middle Gasconade River HU. Gravel bars are more prominent in the Middle Gasconade River HU due to slower water velocities, lower gradient, and stream disturbances.
The Gasconade River watershed has a diverse assemblage of 103 fish species collected from 1900 to 1999. These species are distributed among 49 genera and 21 families of fish ranging form the ancient Petromyzontidae (lampreys) to the more modern Percidae (perches) and Sciaenidae (drums). Despite the high number of fish species in the Gasconade River watershed, 9 species are listed on the Missouri Species of Conservation Concern Checklist of June 2000 as critically imperiled, imperiled, or rare. The crystal darter (Crystallaria asprella) is classified as a state endangered species, and the bluestripe darter (Percina cymatotaenia) is state imperiled species.
A total of 46 mussel species were collected from Little Piney Creek, Roubidoux Creek, Osage Fork, and the main stem Gasconade River. The dominant genera were Lampsilis (6 species), Quadrula (3 species), and Fuconaia (2 species). These species were distributed among 27 different genera. The pocketbook mussel (Lampsilis cardium) was the most widely distributed mussel in the watershed. Species that are much less abundant include the state-listed endangered mussel species, the elephant ear (Elliptio crassidens), ebonyshell (Fusconaia ebena), and the pink mucket (Lampsilis abrupta). The pink mucket is also classified as federally endangered.
Seven species of crayfish have been collected in the Gasconade River watershed and three genera encompass the seven species. Orconectes was the dominant genus and comprised over 99% of the crayfish composition. Devil crayfish (Cambarus diogenes) were collected in Roubidoux Creek, and digger crayfish (Fallicambarus fodiens) were collected in the lower Gasconade River. The rare Salem cave crayfish (Cambarus hubrichti) is located in some caves of the watershed.
Anglers have numerous sport fishing opportunities as the Gasconade River changes character from an Ozark headwater stream system to a large river system. According to the Missouri Department of Health, all game fish are safe to eat in the Gasconade River watershed. Studies on the Osage Fork of the Gasconade River revealed that numbers of black basses and rock bass of regulation size were in good supply. An Osage Fork Smallmouth Bass Special Management Area was created in 2000. An Osage Fork Special Management Area has been established for rock bass beginning in March 2001. In 2001 on Little Piney Creek, a Wild Trout Management Area (WTMA) was formed and a Trout Management Area (TMA) was relocated. The Lane Spring TMA was discontinued due to the creation of the WTMA. Portions of Mill Creek and Roubidoux Creek also support trout fisheries.
The major goals for the basin are improved water quality, better riparian and aquatic habitat conditions, the maintenance of diverse and abundant populations of native aquatic organisms and sport fish, and increased public appreciation for the stream resources. Periodic fish population samples will be collected and appropriate habitat surveys will be conducted. Fishing regulations will be adjusted if needed to maintain quality fishing. Cooperative efforts with other resource agencies on water quality, habitat, and watershed management issues will be critical. Enforcement of existing water quality and other stream-related regulations, and necessary revisions and additions to these regulations, will help reduce violations and lead to further water quality improvements. Working with related agencies and cooperating with citizen groups and landowners to promote public awareness and landowner incentive programs will result in improved watershed conditions and better stream quality, diverse and abundant population of native aquatic organisms, and wonderful angling opportunities.

From May to September 2008, the construction of the EPR™ reactor in Flamanville 3 on behalf of EDF mobilizes 1,200 people. Work primarily entails the reactor building, whose reinforced concrete walls must ensure security. A look back on 5 months that changed the site's physiognomy.
9/1/2008 - 08:41 min
Flamanville 3 is the first Generation III+ plant in the new French reactor fleet and the 100th reactor order placed with AREVA worldwide. French authorities and utilities launched their nuclear renaissance program keeping in mind 2020, when the country's original fleet of nuclear power plants will start to enter the decommissioning phase.
Customer: Électricité de France (EDF).
Supplier: AREVA.
Supply scope: 1 EPR™ unit Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS).
Net electric output: 1,630 MWe.
Reactor thermal output: 4,300 MWth.
Electric power generation: 13 TWh.
Signature date: April 17, 2007.
The EDF group is an integrated energy company operating in all branches of the industry: generation, transmission, distribution, and the trading and sale of energy. The Group is the largest electricity producer in Europe.
In France, it has predominantly nuclear and hydroelectric power plants supplying electricity that is 95% CO2-free. In total, EDF generated more than 470.2 TWh in 2010 in France.
Since the nineteen-seventies, EDF has designed, built and operated 58 pressurized water reactors (PWR) totaling 63.1 GW in installed capacity and spread across 19 sites throughout France (thirty-four 900 megawatt reactors; twenty 1,300 megawatt reactors; four 1,500-megawatt reactors) and accounting for more than 85% of the electricity generated by EDF.
All 58 reactors, built by AREVA, were commissioned over the period spanning 1977 to 1999.
Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS)
Flamanville 3 projects requires a globally qualified industrial supply chain and pool of subcontractors: around 100 suppliers will be working for AREVA on the project.
Manufacturing responsibilities are as follows:
Primary cooling system equipment
Flamanvielle 3 is proceeding through a rigorous two-step French licensing process. This licensing process is being conducted in parallel with project execution under the client's responsibility, interfacing with the French regulatory body ASN.
The French government granted the construction license for Flamanville 3 on April 11, 2007, on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the EPR™ design.
The Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) was presented in 2004 and the final submittal is planed for October 2010.
A continuous production of project documents for surveillance and approval by safety authorities in the areas of design engineering, manufacturing, construction, commissioning is being conducted throughout the implementation of the project.
Provisional Final Safety Analysis Report will then be approved, which authorizes the fuel loading and further start-up activities.
EPR™ Safety Robustness
The EPR™ technology offers the most advanced level of safety, able to face unlikely events such as what happened in Japan. This video demonstrates the robustness of the EPR™ design, using a combination of redundant, diverse and complementary safety systems.

What to Know About Radiation Therapy for Carcinoma of Unknown Primary Origin
Radiation is often used to relieve the symptoms of carcinoma of unknown primary origin (CUP). Sometimes radiation may also be used to cure the cancer if it has not spread too far.
Doctors give radiation for CUP in two ways – externally or internally. The type of radiation therapy you receive depends on the location, size, and spread of the cancer.
External radiation is the most common radiation treatment for CUP. You get it from a machine outside your body. You will have treatments 4 to 5 days a week for several weeks in a row.
Internal radiation is less frequently used to treat CUP. For internal radiation, you will have an implant of radiation placed in or near the tumor.
Potential side effects
Radiation affects both normal cells and cancer cells. This means it can cause side effects. What they are depends on what part of your body is treated. Common side effects of radiation include fatigue and skin changes. These are common side effects of radiation:
Skin irritation
Usually these side effects go away after treatment. Many can be helped with certain medications.

May's Wartortle
this wiki
It debuted in The Right Place at the Right Mime. Squirtle became attached to May while she was visiting Professor Oak's lab and decided to travel with her. It instantly took a liking to contests and learned Ice Beam without any training in order to defeat Team Rocket. Seeing Squirtle's potential in contests and in battle, May used it many times in Kanto, including her battle with Drew in the Kanto Grand Festival alongside Combusken against Drew's Flygon and Absol. After some tough battling, Squirtle dodges Absol's Flash and Flygon's Steel Wing with Rapid Spin, and strikes Flygon with Bubble. Squirtle knocks it out with Ice Beam, but the celebration is cut short when Absol harshly slams Squirtle into the arena wall with Iron Tail, which left Combusken and Absol to battle 1-on-1 for the second half of the battle.
At some point before the Wallace Cup, squirtle evolved into Wartortle and learned Aqua Tail. Wartortle does a phenominal job in the appael round and gets May to the next round.

The yen surge and general dollar dip have continued today. USD-JPY crashed through the former April low at 107.63 during Tokyo-less trade in Asia before extending to an 18-month low of 106.91 during the London AM. EUR-USD, meanwhile, rose to a 17-day peak at 1.1414, assisted by the soft buck and strong Spanish and French GDP data, which were duly followed by the release of 0.6% q/q growth in Eurozone Q1 data, double the median forecast, although by this ...

The yen has remained strong, and the dollar soft as the BoJ and Fed policy statements this week continue to resonate, having resolutely disappointed expectations for an easing in the case of the former and mildly disappointed those market participants looking for hawkish spin in the case of the latter. USD-JPY continues to dominate the forex magnitude scales, showing a 0.7% loss on the day as London traders and sales dealers take to their desks. The pair ... Read More ►

It was a risk-off session in N.Y. on Friday, as the dollar, yields, and equities all turned lower. Incoming data was mostly light of expectations, with income holding up, but consumption lagging, as Chicago PMI and Michigan sentiment numbers both faded. EUR-USD posted three-week highs of 1.1459, just shy of the 1.1464 multi-month top posted earlier in April.

People who like the above product liked these, too:
November 19, 2010IKON MULTI-SPEED JUICER
"All I can say is that I am glad I did my research and decided to give the Ikon juicer a try. I absolutely love this juicer! From it's sleek, beautiful design to it's wonderful performance, it is a great piece of work. Oh, yeah and clean up is a snap! If you don't have a juicer, get the Ikon Multi-Speed Juicer!!! Thank you, Breville!"
October 18, 2010This juicer gets an 8
"The filter basket is hard to clean when juicing carrots. carrots tend to stick. I have cleaned the basket 3 times.
Apples when jucing on the #5 speed tend to come out of the sides. The apple pulp gathers at the top of thecollector.
But never the less other fruits juice OK it's just the apples I am having a problem with.
I made muffins out of the pulp and they are absolutely delicous.
I have tried other juicers and this juicer seem to work the best.
I wish two picturer's and two filter baskets came with the juicer."
October 8, 2010Another Great Breville Product
"We have been comparing specifications and reviews for weeks in order to make the right choice in juicers - we settled on the Breville Ikon for a several reasons:
a) powerful motor and juice yield
b) have been VERY satisfied with the other three Breville appliances we own
c) ease of clean-up
d) overall design
e) value
This juicer cuts through carrots, apples, pineapples, etc. like a power saw and yields more juice than I would have thought possible. Also, the variable speed allows you to juice softer fruits and even leafy greens without reducing them to sludge before extracting juice.
Clean-up is a breeze - take the included cleaning brush to the mesh insert, rinse everything under water and pop it in the dishwasher.
Construction is sturdy and attractive and our experience with Breville customer service in the past makes us confident that if we do ever have a problem it will be addressed promptly.
Another great Breville purchase.
September 15, 2010Great juicer!
"Not only does this juicer look great, but is an unbelievable juicer! I love it! I researched all the different juicers online, and based on all the good reviews for this product, bought it. It is easy to clean ( 5 min) , fast and has a powerful motor. The pulp is dry and the juice tastes great. I juice on a daily basis, sometimes 3 or 4 times per day. The kids love to come up with their own juice belnds -and I get to sneak in some veggies and they love it! I have juiced grapes, garlic, spinach, ginger, celery, beets, apples, oranges, kale, carrots, sweet taters, strawberries, watermelon, blueberries, radishes...and not a single problem with any of them. I recommend this product to all of my friends and family."
September 6, 2010Great Machine
"I'm new juicing but I love my Ikon Multi-Speed juicer. It's easy to operate & easy to clean. I make fruit jucie every morning prior to going to work. I have only made vegie juice once. But I know I will do more veggie juice soon. Excellant machine."
August 21, 2010New to juicing
"I'm new to juicing and after spending countless hours reviewing numerous brands of juicers I decided on the ikon Multi-Speed Juice Fountain because of the high customer ratings. I am thrilled with the purchase. With a busy schedule I wanted a juicer that was fast in all facets of the juicing process. The ikon multi-speed requires minimal food preparation, juices extraordinarily fast and clean up is quick and easy. This juicer by far exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it."
August 14, 2010Excellent Juicer
"After researching off and on for 2 years for a juicer I finally bought the Breville Ikon Multi-Speed Juice Fountain. It is a middle price range and much higher quality than anything else out on the market. I have not seen a bad review from any site that I have visited regarding any of the Breville juicers either. I must say it has been really terriffic to use. It's very easy to clean with just a few parts. I rinse immediately after my juicing. The filter basket is simple to clean with the brush, which is included in with the juicer. Simply brush the inside gently and the outside gently and your done! You can use the dishwasher to clean but why would you? Everything rinses off with cold water and a little soap if needed. It does not require muscle to clean this machine at all. The instruction manual is easy to understand and has great recipes to get you started juicing and ways to use the pulp of some vegetables to make soups among other meals. I'm so happy with this purchase. The motor is high powered and extremely quiet. It is quiter than my blender! I really was very surprised about that. So if you are looking for a nice, very high quality, middle of the road price range juicer this is the one. I promise you won't regret your purchase either it's truly a quality machine."
July 19, 2010WOW!!! GREAT PRODUCT
"This product is absolutely awesome. It's quiet, sleek, plenty of power and easy to clean. The entire clean takes me less than 3 minutes, and it is dishwasher safe. This is my very first fountain juicer. I've had it for two weeks; my children request fresh juice daily, and to my surprise, they love it. My 9 yr loves for me to add cucumbers inside of each glass, while my daughter loves to add apples. Thank you Breville for creating such an awesome piece of equipment that was well built. "
June 10, 2010Awesome
"I have had an Acme juicer for 15 years. Just received the Ikon, "wow'. Fast, quite, cleans up in a snap, does a very good job of pulp ejection and is fast. I have entered the future or more specifically the present. When my Acme gave up the ghost I was not to happy, but upon using the Ikon, I welcome the new-age of juicing into my home. I am juicing more than I ever was. "
June 1, 2010Ikon juice fountian
"this is a great machine. we just puchased one at work and it works great. its the quietest juicer i have ever worked with in my professinola career. the only down fall is that some lager particles slip through the cracks somewhere some how. but its nothing major. i would recomend this to any at home or professional kitchen out there."

FILE - In this Aug. 24, 2010 file photo, patrons enjoy a meal at a Burger King in Springfield, Ill. The movement by U.S. food corporations toward more humane treatment of animals experienced a whopper of a shift Wednesday, April 25, 2012, when Burger King announced that all of its eggs and pork will come from cage-free chickens and pigs by 2017. The decision by the world's second-biggest fast-food restaurant raises the bar for other companies seeking to appeal to the rising consumer demand for more humanely produced fare.(AP Photo/Seth Perlman)
A Pennsylvania fast-food fan had one whopper of a funeral. Family members say David Kime "lived by his own rules" so it's only fitting he'd have it his way on the way to the cemetery.
The hearse carrying the 88-year-old York man led his funeral procession through a Burger King drive-thru for one last sandwich Saturday. The York Daily Record reports one sandwich was placed atop his flag-draped coffin at the cemetery.
Daughter Linda Phiel said it was a happy way of honoring her father and the things that brought him joy.
Restaurant manager Margaret Hess and her crew made 40 burgers for the funeral procession. She says it's nice to know Kime was a loyal customer until "the very end."

Keratitis Symptoms
The symptoms of keratitis usually include pain, tearing, and blurring of vision. The pain may be mild to severe, depending on the cause and extent of the inflammation. Sensitivity to light may also be present. To the observer, the eye may appear red, watery, and if the cornea has extensive keratitis, the normally clear cornea may look gray or have white to gray areas.

The third annual Herbstreit Challenge held at Fawcett Stadium at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio and Nippert Stadium at the University of Cincinnati featured 11 of the top teams in the state of Ohio taking on notable high school programs from across the country.
The event featured plenty of talent as well as an end to the nation's longest win streak when Cincinnati Elder ended Charlotte Independence's 109-game run. Tight end Kyle Rudolph played big for Elder in that game and leads our Hot 11 from the event.

Average annual precipitation is approximately 36 inches (MDNR 1986, Vandike 1995).
USGS Gaging Station
There is one active gaging station in the basin (USGS 1997; LINK TO USGS). There was a gaging station at Bethel, Missouri from 1930 to 1973.
Permanence of Flow and Average Annual Discharge
Average annual discharge at the North River gage station near Palmyra is 264 cfs (USGS 1997). All streams are subject to periods of no discharge. Nevertheless, one stream (Sees Creek) is denoted by a solid blue line along its entire length on USGS maps and is considered permanently flowing. North River and South Fork have a few short reaches considered intermittent while all other streams have extensive intermittent reaches.
Base Flow and Low-Flow Frequency Data
Base flows throughout the basin are not sustained by groundwater inflow during dry weather due to the relatively low permeability of overlying till. Seven day periods of no flow occur every 10 - 20 years (Skelton 1986). Also, stream discharge can fall below 1.0 cfs for thirty days or longer every 10 years.
Flow Duration
Flow duration statistics reflect the stream discharge that is exceeded for a specified proportion of time. Median discharge (flow exceeded 50% of the time) for the North River is 40.2 cfs. The ratio of flow that is exceeded 90% of the time to the flow exceeded 10% of the time (90:10 ratio) is indicative of the flashiness of variability of stream flow. The 90:10 ratio for North River is 1:145, indicating highly variable stream flow. Small amounts of precipitation cause rapid increase in stream flow. Presumably because most water runs off quickly due to the low permeability of underlying strata and because of extensive watershed conversion from natural vegetative cover to row crop and pasture.
Flood Frequency
Alexander and Wilson (1995) determined through multiple regression techniques that drainage area and main-channel slope can be used to estimate return period flows for unregulated streams in Missouri. The generalized least squares regression equations are as follows:
Qt=estimated discharge in cubic feet per second
A= drainage area in square miles
S=main channel slope in feet per mile
Discharges of 19,500 cfs occur every five years in the North River at Palmyra (Table Hy01). Base (100 year) flood elevations have been determined for eight sites in the North River basin (Southard and Wilson 1998).
Dam and Hydropower Influences
There is a low-head dam on the North River just upstream from state highway 61 near Palmyra. There is a dam impounding 228 surface acres of water on the Hunnewell Conservation Area. There are no hydropower influences in the watershed.

I'm curious how long those of us here have been car light or car free. Have your views changed in that time?

Car free less than 1 year
Car light less than 5 years
Car free less than 5 years
Car light more than 5 years
Car free more than 5 years
Contemplating a car light or car free change
Not interested in becoming car light or car free
I'm curious how long those of us here have been car light or car free. Have your views changed in that time?
Life is good.
I set out to become car free about 5 years ago. In that time I acquired a car owning SO (significant other). So I'm classifying myself as car light.
My van's engine ate itself sometime in 2001 and while driving a rental out of state a few weeks later I got pulled over and found out my license was suspended for an unpaid seatbelt ticket, so I dumped the rental, eventually got my license sorted out, and still haven't felt any great urge to get another vehicle considering the costs involved.
"Engineering! It's like math, but louder."
Been car lite for decades, started out as most kids, with only two means of transportation at my disposal, my parents giving me a ride in their car or my bicycle. My bicycle also proved to be more reliable than the vehicles of my youth, so my bike was given more seat time, plus, I thought when they raised the price of gas to over fifty cents a gallon, that it was a ripoff. Even now that my vehicles are very reliable, I still enjoy riding the bike so I can eat as many of the wife's cookies as I want, and still maintain the weight.
I've never owned a car and neither has my husband. When we were home from college we both had use of a family car. Once we were on our own at 20 and 22, we decided not to buy a car. Once not owning a car became our pattern, car free became easier than going out and buying one. Depending on when you start counting us as car free, it's been at least a decade.
I've been car light for the past four or five years and I'm using my car less each year.
Initially I approached car light with almost a missionary zeal but that has now changed. I realize not everyone will want to go car light or car free and I realize not everyone is able to do so. Instead of preaching the benefits of a car light lifestyle, I'm quietly living my life with as little driving as possible. And at this point, that is enough.
Life is good.
I had to think about this one for a few minutes. I was surprised when I thought about it, because I didn't realise that we've been doing the car light thing for that length of time. My husband and I work at the same place, same hours, same days off. We carpool in. I often have overtime, so we always have a bike in the car. I almost always ride home anyway, OT or not. Mr. East Hill combines trips, and if I need to go somewhere, it's the bike for me.
East Hill
I've been car-free or car-lite pretty much all my life. Bicycling to work was a slight shift from pedaling to school. The most important event was moving out from my Dads' before I had saved up for a car. That was 1974.
I've owned a number of cars over the years and there was a 6 month period where I commuted consistently by car, and a few years where I worked at home, but my bicycle has always been the preferred method of transportation.

I voted contemplating
I have been car free/car light in the past. I was basically car free until the mid 80's then car light until the late 90's. Right now I don't drive unless I absolutely have to, unfortunately my current job requires massive amounts of driving (to the tune of 45-50k miles a year) But we are making plans to change that in the next 2-3 years and get back to car light. I ride my bike to the grocery store. When I am on the road I carry a bike with me to ride around on for errands, entertainment and when the opportunity arises to use a commuter between the motel and the job site (rarely happens).

Car light for just over two years here. I would say car free, but I drive my elderly Mum to her medical appointments & etc as necessary. Otherwise I use either my tricycle or a bicycle.
OMNIPOTENS aeterne Deus, qui nos secundum imaginem Tuam plasmasti, et omnia bona, vera, pulchra, praesertim in divina persona Unigeniti Filii Tui Domini nostri Iesu Christi, quaerere iussisti, praesta quaesumus ut, per intercessionem Sancti Isidori, Episcopi et Doctoris, in peregrinationibus per interrete factis et manus oculosque ad quae Tibi sunt placita intendamus et omnes quos convenimus cum caritate ac patientia accipiamus. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
Car light for a little over a year now. Actually, car very light as I estimate I ride 95% of the time or more. I hope to be car free eventually, but it would be very difficult to do in this town. I am certain that if my truck suddenly needed a major repair, it would immediately be on the market and I wouldn't be looking for a replacement. I'll also be moving in a few months to a more convenient location so that will help.
Car free for two years this time around, was car light for a couple of years due to a job I had which required me to drive two days a week, before that i was car free for four years. Probably going back to car lite next year since I love to race and need car for getting to and from those.

I haven't owned a car since 1997, and haven't missed it. But I do rent a few times a year, and borrowed a friends car earlier this year sometime. Or was it late last year? I think that makes me car-free, and that's what I voted. But if the rentals make me car-light, then so be it. Don't think I can change the voting though.
It helps to live near the center of a big city that has decent public transport -- in the core area at least.
Zero gallons to the mile
I've gone through periods. I was car-lite for about a year before moving abroad where i was car free. When i came back to the states i was again car-lite, but recently i moved to san francisco, so i sold my car and am now car free again. It will be one year in two months!
i sold my car to move from hellhole, indiana to portland, oregon, and my dad sent me a bike so i could get around. in the last 2 years, i've had 4 bikes (2 got stolen) and never even wanted a car. but i definitely have the advantage of living in portland. bike city usa!
I've been carfree this time for 6 years. I've been carfree for a total of more than half of my adult life, on and off--roughly 17 years.
I've never been carlite. Every time I owned a car I drove the hell out of it. I'm an all-or-nothing person, I guess.
"Think Outside the Cage"
I've been cycle-commuting for the last 20 years and have owned a car/pu for 18 of them. Over the last few years, however I've become much more aware of the tyranny of the automobile and cut my mileage from 12,000 to a little under 7,000. Also, I upped my cycling mileage to over 6,000 this year. My wife has a Toyota Echo she uses to get back and forth to work and it'd very good on gas and cheap to maintain. I only use my truck when absolutely necessary. Sometimes it sits for weeks at a time.
My goal this next year is to drive less than 5000 and cycle over 7500.
I am now 27 and have managed to never own a car nor have I bothered getting a license
I guess the occasional use of Flex/car qualifies as car lite, but I don't own a car or live with anybody who does.
i cant drive a car. does that count??
[Insert Signature here]
I had the fantastic luck of totalling my car about a year and a month ago now (guy took a right turn into me from the left lane w/o looking). Since the insurance didn't end up paying more than 1/4 the price of another car and I am totally broke, I didn't have any other option but to rely on my bike and public transportation.
It's been a godsend in a lot of ways -- I am a lot more active, have gotten in shape, and have a lasting obsession! And the best part of all: I am allowed to be annoyingly self-righteous in political conversations.
Still use my girlfriend's car to get groceries and take long trips (I reimburse her for a % of her insurance and gas -- I'm not a total bum), but that's the extent of my use.
I've been car free for five years now, but car-lite before that for another three years. I doubt I could ever go back to using a car regularly. I love cycling and walking and while I don't particularly like crowded buses or subways and despise waiting, I'll still take public transit over crawling on crowded streets in a car, searching endlessly for somewhere to park, paying for parking, insurance (they can all go to hell, as far as I'm concerned), gas and repairs. Anyone who values and yearns for real freedom needs to get rid of their slave-master, that abomination in the driveway.
The slow down is accelerating

Day 4 of the General Assembly of the UN for Paul Magnette
On this fourth day of the ministerial part of this 67th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York, Development Cooperation Minister Paul Magnette had a meeting with Deputy Secretary-General and High Representative for Least Developed Countries, Gyan Chandra Acharya, with the Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund, the First Vice-President of Burundi and took part in a working lunch on the Great Lakes.
Least developed countries
After Minister Magnette was yesterday (Wednesday 26/09) joint chair of the meeting on least developed countries (LDCs), he today had a bilateral meeting with the recently appointed Deputy Secretary-General and High Representative for Least Developed Countries, Mr Gyan Chandra Acharya. Both men discussed the implementation of the action programme for the next ten years that was approved a year ago in Istanbul, the recent decisions of the Rio+20 Summit and the importance for the LDCs of taking the path towards sustainable development. The transitional period in which countries find themselves on exiting the category of LDCs can be hazardous. Paul Magnette: "Special assistance has to be provided for the dozen or so countries that could cease to be in the category of LDCs by 2025. This will be the subject of the Resolution Belgium will submit in October to the Second Commission of the General Assembly of the UN."
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
Belgium is a loyal partner of the UNFPA and works closely with this multilateral organisation. Our country therefore endorses its missions in terms of reproductive health and family planning. Free access to contraception represents a significant improvement in quality of life. Last year Belgium contributed some EUR 5,500,000 to the fund, making it the 15th biggest donor. And the development minister intends further strengthening the collaboration in various ways, to the great satisfaction of the Executive Director of the UNFPA, Mr Babatunde Osotimehin. He in turn explained the priorities for the next strategic plan for 2014 to 2017.
The meeting between Minister Paul Magnette and the First Vice-President of Burundi Thérence Sinunguruza and Foreign Affairs Minister Laurent Kavakure took place within the context of the recent decision to release an incentivising tranche of EUR 50 million and the donor conference later this year. After the European Commission and the World Bank, Belgium is the largest donor in Burundi (around 45 million in 2011). Minister Magnette stressed the importance of freedom, both for the press and for civil society, political pluralism and called for vigilance that must be maintained to ensure that the legal system does not apply double standards. He also emphasised the crucial role of the Burundese tax service in the fight against fraud and corruption. The demands on that front and with regard to the implementation of the national strategy for Good Governance will be analysed each quarter. For the time being, however, little progress has been noted and the minister therefore asked for efforts in this area to be intensified.
Great Lakes
This General Assembly is dominated by the situation in Syria and the Sahel. Our country therefore called for a meeting to also be organised on the Great Lakes, a region with which our country has close ties, both historically and today. The humanitarian situation has seriously declined there due to the conflict in West Congo. Development Cooperation Minister Paul Magnette is concerned about the poor living conditions in the region. Paul Magnette: "Political stability urgently has to return to the region of the Great Lakes. Only then can the physical safety of the population be guaranteed and development projects start up again." Minister Magnette also wants to set aside additional funds for the most pressing needs of the population.

Picnic Tables
Any equipment that is permanently left outside needs to be super durable. Hertz Furniture's outdoor picnic tables feature a special coating that will keep them looking great in any climate. The weather might be unpredictable, but you can be sure that our picnic tables will serve you well through many years.
What makes the most low maintenance picnic tables?
Maintenance crews and cleaning staff have enough to worry about inside the building, so you want to make sure that your outdoor furniture doesn't cause undue labor. Most of our picnic benches are coated with non-porous thermoplastic which makes them very easy to clean. Even graffiti can be wiped away in no time with the use of a strong solvent. Alternatively, you can also choose resin picnic tables which have the appeal of natural wood and are very low-maintenance as well.
When you are adding a new item to an outdoor area, you want to make sure that it blends well with natural surroundings and other equipment that is already in that space. Ultra Play picnic tables have a sleek attractive appearance. They are available with either a diamond cut or perforated pattern in a great selection of colors. This allows them to be coordinated with school colors, waste receptacles, playgrounds or other outdoor equipment.
Where can I get flexible picnic benches?
Appearance isn't everything, safety and stability must be taken into account as well. Our outdoor picnic tables feature rounded corners which minimize the risk of injuries and snags. They can be left in a freestanding, portable position in case you choose to move them, or surface-mounted for secure positioning. Depending on the arrangement of the space where you plan to put your picnic bench, and how many people you want to accomodate, you can also choose between round, rectangle and square tables.
There are a number of venues that can benefit from the addition of an outdoor eating area. If your office building has a courtyard, a picnic table will give employees a comfortable and relaxing place to go for breaks. In an educational setting, it will offer a great alternative to the noisy and crowded cafeteria. When the weather is appropriate, students will just love having a quiet, separate space to eat outside. A round picnic table is the perfect place for students to meet for some peer mediation, personal encouragement or quite discussions.
Where can I get picnic tables for preschoolers?
Preschool picnic tables are just perfect for the tot playground at your preschool or daycare center. They are the perfect size for young children so they can sit comfortably as they munch on fruit or cookies, or just take a little break from the excitement on the playground. Picnic benches offer the perfect place for an outdoor snack or class activity when the weather is nice. You might even want to consider doing some of your messier projects there, so you don't have to worry about classroom materials getting dirty in the process.
If you want a great spot to eat outside with elementary school students, we have children's picnic benches as well. When teachers want to give lessons about nature, weather or the seasons, they can simply take the whole class outside for an hands-on, experiential lesson. This also offers a great alternative lunch space when the cafeteria is crowded and the weather is nice.
How can you make picnic tables wheelchair accessible?
No matter what kind of furniture you are purchasing for a school, you want to make sure that it accommodates as many students as possible. Wheelchair accessible picnic tables allow all children to be included in outdoor meals and breaks. ADA compliant schools demonstrate the value of each individual, no matter what their physical capabilities are.
At Hertz Furniture, we know how important it is to spend time outside and enjoy nature. Our picnic tables are designed to provide low-maintenance outdoor eating areas that many students can enjoy. With a few great picnic benches, you can encourage students or employees to take a break and get a breath of fresh air before continuing on with the busy day ahead.

Interesting map you have there Pineapple. The cave floor texture is quite unusual.
You have got to a great start on your water. I think now you need to darken your pools a bit and make it looks a bit more sinister and shadowy.
The only thing I have noticed is that your cavern wall edges are slightly pixelated (they are 'aliased'). The map would be improved by running a slightly gaussian blur (between 1 and 5 pixels, depending on the scale of your map) on the appropriate layer(s) or layer mask(s) to give the walls a more rounded natural look (anti-aliasing). Hope that makes sense.

The WEC crossover officially begins on Dec. 4.
UFC officials today announced a trio of contests for The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale featuring lighter-weight fighters formerly employed by the WEC.
Included among the preliminary cards bouts are Leonard Garcia vs. Tyler Toner, Pablo Garza vs. Fredson Paixao and Will Campuzano vs. Nick Pace.
All three contests were previously reported by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Featuring a light heavyweight contest between Stephan Bonnar and Igor Pokrajac, The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale takes place Dec. 4 at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The main card airs on Spike TV.
For Garcia (14-6-1 MMA, 4-3-1 WEC), the fight signals his return to the UFC. "Bad Boy" went 1-2 in a three-fight stint in the UFC in 2007 before dropping down to the featherweight division and a spot in the WEC. Garcia has earned mixed results as a featherweight, but his performances remain exciting as witnessed by back-to-back "Fight of the Night" bonuses earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Toner (10-2 MMA, 1-1 WEC) makes his UFC debut eight months after fighting for the first time under the WEC banner. Toner debuted for the WEC in April with a TKO win over the previously undefeated Tyler Toney, but he came up short in a September bout against Brazilian Diego Nunes and was handed a unanimous-decision loss.
It's a return to the scene of the crime for Garza (9-1 MMA, 0-1 WEC), who made his way onto the reality show in June and lost to Michael Johnson in the elimination round. It was not the end of Garza's road in Zuffa, LLC-owned fight promotions though. The North Dakotan took a short-notice fight with Chinese national Tiequan Zhang at WEC 51 in place of Jason Reinhardt, who was not medically cleared by the promotion to compete. Garza quickly fell prey to a guillotine choke in the first round.
Paixao (10-3 MMA, 2-1 WEC), meanwhile, is ending his WEC tenture with a two-fight win streak over the likes of Courtney Buck and, most recently, Bryan Caraway. A Rio De Janeiro native and current member of Gracie Barra Combat Team in Las Vegas, Paixao has fallen short to Wagnney Fabiano and Cole Province in the WEC cage, though the Province loss was later changed to a no contest when Province failed his post-fight drug test.
Campuzano (8-2 MMA, 1-2 WEC) returns to the Zuffa, LLC umbrella after an August split-decision win over Steve Garcia in the regional King of Kombat organization. The Texas native took the fight with the company's blessing after a 1-2 stretch in the WEC promotion that saw him suffer losses to Eddie Wineland and Damacio Page.
Meanwhile, Pace (5-1 MMA, 0-1 WEC) seeks his first win under the Zuffa, LLC banner. The Team Tiger Schulmann product debuted for the WEC in a unanimous-decision loss to Demetrious Johnson at WEC 51 in September. The previously undefeated Pace had opened his career with five-straight wins while fighting under the Ring of Combat and Bellator Fighting Championships banner.

Prozac (fluoxetine) Disease Interactions
There are 9 disease interactions with Prozac (fluoxetine):
- Diabetes
- Hyponatremia
- Liver Disease
- Mania
- Platelet Function
- Seizure Disorders
- Siadh
- Renal Dysfunction
- Weight Loss
Fluoxetine (Includes Prozac) ↔ Diabetes
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
Applies to: Diabetes Mellitus
Fluoxetine may alter blood glucose control in patients with diabetes. Hypoglycemia may occur during therapy with fluoxetine, and hyperglycemia may occur following discontinuation of the drug. Dosage adjustments in insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic medications may be necessary in patients with diabetes whenever fluoxetine therapy is initiated or discontinued.
- "Product Information. Prozac (fluoxetine)." Dista Products Company, Indianapolis, IN.
Ssri (Includes Prozac) ↔ Hyponatremia
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
Applies to: Hyponatremia
Treatment with SSRI antidepressants can cause hyponatremia. Caution should be used when treating patients with hyponatremia or at greater risk of hyponatremia such as the elderly, patients taking diuretics or who are volume depleted.
Ssris (Includes Prozac) ↔ Liver Disease
Moderate Potential Hazard, High plausibility
Applies to: Liver Disease
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are primarily metabolized by the liver. The plasma concentrations of SSRIs and their metabolites may be increased and the half-lives prolonged in patients with impaired hepatic function. Dosage adjustments may be necessary in accordance with the individual product package labeling.

- Finley PR "Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: pharmacologic profiles and potential therapeutic distinctions." Ann Pharmacother 28 (1994): 1359-69
Ssris (Includes Prozac) ↔ Mania
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
Applies to: Mania, Bipolar Disorder
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), like other antidepressants, may occasionally cause mania or hypomania. The reported incidence ranged from 0.1% to 2% in premarketing testing of several SSRIs. Patients with bipolar disorder are generally more likely to experience mania from antidepressants. Therapy with SSRIs should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of mania or bipolar disorder.
- Peet M "Induction of mania with selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants." Br J Psychiatry 164 (1994): 549-50
- "Product Information. Zoloft (sertraline)." Roerig Division, New York, NY.
- Guthrie SK "Sertraline: a new specific serotonin reuptake blocker." DICP 25 (1991): 952-61
Ssris (Includes Prozac) ↔ Platelet Function
Moderate Potential Hazard, High plausibility
Applies to: Bleeding, Coagulation Defect, Thrombocytopathy, Thrombocytopenia, Vitamin K Deficiency
The use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) has been associated with altered platelet function. Petechiae, purpura, ecchymosis, increased bleeding times, epistaxis and gastrointestinal hemorrhage have been reported. Therapy with SSRIs should be administered cautiously in patients with severe active bleeding or a hemorrhagic diathesis.

- Messiha FS "Fluoxetine - adverse effects and drug-drug interactions." J Toxicol Clin Toxicol 31 (1993): 603-30
Ssris (Includes Prozac) ↔ Seizure Disorders
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
Applies to: Seizures
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may trigger seizures in approximately 0.2% of patients. Therapy with SSRIs should be administered cautiously in patients with seizure disorders.
- Marshall RD, Printz D, Cardenas D, Abbate L, Liebowitz MR "Adverse events in PTSD patients taking fluoxetine." Am J Psychiatry 152 (1995): 1238-9
- Hargrave R, Martinez D, Bernstein AJ "Fluoxetine-induced seizures." Psychosomatics 33 (1992): 236-9
- "Product Information. Lexapro (escitalopram)." Forest Pharmaceuticals, St. Louis, MO.
Ssris (Includes Prozac) ↔ Siadh
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
Applies to: Dehydration, Hyponatremia, SIADH
The use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) has rarely been associated with hyponatremia, sometimes secondary to development of the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). These events have generally been reversible following discontinuation of SSRI therapy and/or medical intervention. SSRI-related hyponatremia may be more common in elderly female patients and those who are volume-depleted or receiving concomitant diuretic therapy. Caution may be warranted when SSRI therapy is administered in these patients and patients with preexisting hyponatremia or SIADH. Serum electrolytes, especially sodium as well as BUN and plasma creatinine, should be monitored regularly.

Fluoxetine (Includes Prozac) ↔ Renal Dysfunction
Minor Potential Hazard, Low plausibility
Applies to: Renal Dysfunction
Fluoxetine is primarily metabolized by the liver. All but one metabolites are inactive, and they are excreted by the kidney. The clearance of norfluoxetine, the active metabolite, is not dependent on renal function. Dosage adjustments are generally not deemed necessary in patients with impaired renal function, although the clinical significance of possible metabolite accumulation is unknown. Caution may be warranted when fluoxetine therapy is administered in patients with severe renal dysfunction.

- "Product Information. Prozac (fluoxetine)." Dista Products Company, Indianapolis, IN.
Ssris (Includes Prozac) ↔ Weight Loss
Minor Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
Applies to: Weight Loss/Failure to Thrive, Malnourished, Anorexia/Feeding Problems
The use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may occasionally cause significant weight loss, which may be undesirable in patients suffering from anorexia, malnutrition or excessive weight loss. Anorexia may occur in approximately 5% to 10% of patients. Weight change should be monitored during therapy if an SSRI is used in these patients.

Hi folks, this month we'll be doing a followup on last month's challenge. Whereas last month's challenge was to create an artistic hexmap with keyed points of interest, this month's challenge is to map one of the keyed points of interest featured in one of two winning entries from last month: Carbus's Pritior or mariuccij's An Isolated Valley (see the thumbs below). The style of map will vary based on the nature of the point of interest. It could be a battle map of a monster lair, a map of a lost dungeon or a map of a Elven forest city. There are quite a few possibilities to choose from. It may be that more than one person wants to map the same point of interest. That is perfectly fine. Each entry must contain each of the following:
1) A title (which should be the name of the point of interest);
2) The hex number of the map in which the point of interest is found;
In keeping with the hex-map mechanic, it is also suggested to include some keyed information about the point of interest (e.g. a description of the town, or a history of the dungeon), but this is strictly optional. EDIT: to clarify, this month's challenge need not be a hex map (though it may be if anyone decides to make one).
Title each new thread May 2013 Entry - <your title>
Precede each WIP image with the tag ### Latest WIP ###.
The challenge will end on or around the 30th of June, and the winner will receive a golden compass, and the envy of your peers.

The Saturday Skinny: Remember the big picture when trying to lose weightBy: Don Chaddock, Managing Editor
The holidays are a time of weight gain for many in America, myself included.
Over the course of three weeks in November, I somehow managed to find eight pounds, knocking me back up to 193 pounds on the scale. How did I allow such a thing to happen? Easily. A pumpkin cupcake here, some movie candy there and viola -- instant weight gain.
Rather than falling into the trap of self defeat, I dust myself off and move forward. As of today, Dec. 1, I've managed to drop back down to 188. I need to lose another three pounds to get back to where I was and lose an additional 10 pounds to hit my final goal.
The attitude I have today is one of confidence, not cockiness. I know I can lose the weight if i make healthy choices. Those eight pounds I re-gained? They are a great reminder of why I must stay vigilant. They also remind me this is a lifetime journey and not a short sprint.
When I find myself getting discouraged, I only need to look at the bigger picture. Two years ago this month, I weighed 303 pounds and my youngest daughter was born. One year ago today, I weighed 268 pounds, having lost 35 pounds the previous year. Today I weigh 188 pounds, or 80 pounds less than I did a year ago and 115 pounds less than two years ago. Now, those eight pounds I regained don't seem so daunting. Also, knowing I only have three more to lose to reach my short-term goal seems very achievable.
Why do I share all this? Because I know I'm not the only one battling weight over the holidays. It's easy to fall off the "chuck wagon" (as I refer to it) when there are so many treats readily available at office parties, holiday parties, mixers and family feasts.
We're all human and there will be slips, so I try to be easy on myself and make healthy choices. Did I have mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving? Yes, I did, but only one helping (not three, as I once did). I didn't overeat, that's the key. Regroup and focus to achieve your goals. Don't let self doubt, worry and guilt bury you.
Rather than a recipe this week, we're going to look at some meal plans designed to help you get back on track. This is what I did to drop that excess holiday weight. Do this for two weeks, coupled with regular exercise (30 minutes daily), and watch the weight drop off. Avoid high-fat foods, sugar, alcohol and bread. Try to make your dinner the smaller meal of the day.
Note: Under each category, pick any one.
1. Two scrambled egg whites with sauteed spinach or kale, one piece of fruit (apple, banana or orange)
2. 1/4 cup-1/3 cup cooked oatmeal sweetened with fruit (banana, cut up apple or berries)
3. 1/2 cup non-fat plain or vanilla yogurt with cut up fruit stirred in (banana, grapes, etc.)
(two to three hours after breakfast)
Piece of fruit or 6-8 ounces of nonfat yogurt (or some carrots)
1. Large salad (handful black beans, raw spinach leaves, two tablespoons low-fat yogurt dressing). Optional: chopped bell pepper, carrots, 1/4 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice. You may also substitute fresh salsa for the salad dressing.
2. Wrap with whole wheat 100-calorie tortilla, raw spinach or kale, 1/4 cup brown rice, 2-3 ounces shredded or chopped cooked chicken breast, salsa or low-fat yogurt salad dressing (or smear with non-fat plain yogurt). This is a great replacement for the standard sandwich.
3. A meal consisting of a serving of brown rice (1/4-1/2 cup), 4-6 ounces of lean meat (chicken or fish), small salad and five to six slices of roasted sweet potatoes.
4. A burrito using a few spoonfuls of refried black beans (no fat variety), 2 ounces of lean meat (optional), salsa, spinach or lettuce. (May have two.)
(two to three hours after lunch)
Same as morning snack
1. Any of the lunch choices listed above
2. Low-fat crock-pot recipes using lean meat, but limit to one reasonable serving
3. Oven-roasted pork tenderloin, grilled fish or roasted chicken breast (4-6 ounces), a small salad
4. A 20-24-ounce smoothie using one frozen banana, 1 cup chocolate soy milk (or non-fat regular milk), handful of raw spinach, handful of raw kale, 1 tablespoon peanut butter (for protein, or use protein powder) and frozen strawberries. Blend until smooth. This is a meal replacement option and is quite filling. Optional: 1-3 tablespoons of ground flax seed (for fiber and omega 3s).
1 cup frozen grapes or one piece of fruit
