One Meal A Day Club
I am starting this for all the people out there doing extreme Intermittent Fasting, following Carbohydrate Addict's Diet or the newer Carbohydrate Addict's LifeSpan Program with the one hour Reward Meal (or basically just doing what the author of the CAD books did which was to eat one meal a day and she claims to have lost 150 pounds).
I have been doing versions of CAD and CALP now for over 9 months (started November 1st, 2012) and have slowly changed to eating most days one meal only. I was 235 lbs when I started and the lowest I have been in the 9 months was 213. I also lost over 4 inches off my bust, 5 inches off my waist, 3 inches off my thighs, and 2 inches off my biceps in that time frame.
I do daily wts and weekly averages as outlined in the books. I also try most days to follow CALP guidelines by balancing my meal which means a minimum of a 2 Cup salad, 1/3 protein/fats, 1/3 low carb veggies, 1/3 carbs of my choice. I can't say I am 100% "balanced" but overall my daily intake tends to be 1 part protein/fats, 1 part low carb veggies, and 1-2 parts carbs. Also, I do not exercise above my normal fairly active lifestyle. I drink plenty of water and nothing else (maybe unsweetened herbal tea in colder months). I avoid caffeine, anything sugar free or artifical sweetened, or any low carb products outside of my one hour time frame. There are days when I am hungry and if so I will eat a meal of only low carb veggies (usually a large salad with ranch dressing) and some type of meat or eggs with cheese. The last 2 months however have mainly been one meal a day only!
I stay within a one hour time limit since I read in the CAD and CALP books about insulin release and wanting to limit my insulin surges are much as possible.
I have read CAD, CALP, the Heller's new The Stress Eating Cure Diet, The Big Breakfast Diet, The Reverse Diet, The 8 Hour Diet and many online articles on intermittent fasting, hyperinsulinemia (Insulin Resistance) and studies that show you can do low carb all day and still consume carbs during one meal and lose weight. There was even a study in Israel done with some police officers that supported the WOE as outlined in the CAD books.
There are some of us who have slowly due to lack of hunger and just plain wanting to see if it works who have switched and eat only one meal a day. I know I post on many CAD forums but I am one of the only "public" posters about extreme IF and eating one meal a day. I tend to relate most to the CAD/CALP folks but it is lonely among them as I know they cannot relate to me since they eat 2 other meals that are very low carb. Also since I am only eating one meal a day it tends to be large and contain much more carbs than the average CADer so it can be upsetting for some folks as they do not relate to being able to eat carbs in those amounts.
I also tend to switch my meal from early morning to afternoon from time to time to see if it affects weight loss or not. Personally I have found most days if I eat very early I do get hungry again much later in the day usually right before bedtime but because I don't like to eat so close to bedtime I have stuck it out. If I eat midday I am fine all morning and then again all evening so it really does carry me the entire 23 hours.
I just want to have a place for folks like me following more the way Rachael Heller did with her weight loss WOE that she mentioned in her books. Please post and join in!
BTW most people on CAD refer to their one hour carb meal as a "Reward Meal" or RM for short.
I'd like to join. I was doing IF and did well. Originally I was fasting one to two days a week. I started taking medication that makes me feel jittery if I do this so one meal is better for me physically.
Doing the one day last spring helped get some weight off and I need to go back to it. This summer I've found myself eating during the day even though I'm not hungry (just love to eat!).
My one meal is in the early evening. It's not bad for me to go through the work day (7am until 4pm) without eating. (I'm a teacher and I'm off for the summer=more eating). When I get home I have a big meal and that is it. I need to set a time limit for my meal though. I wasn't doing that and I started grazing after work and that added up the calories. I was also doing low carb, but I still need to be cognizant of my calorie intake. I can go overboard very easily!
So, I would like to get back to this WOE. Mentally, knowing that I will be able to eat a good meal at the end of the day makes the fasting part much much easier! I also will let myself splurge once in a while and not feel bad about it (i.e. going to to dinner). If I tell myself I'm "allowed" to, I don't punish myself by going off plan after!
Hope more people join us!
I'm in. I am a teacher too. Right now I have been experimenting a little with high fat so I may start an ice cream diet thread if this works. If I don't eat ice cream for lunch I usually fast all day and eat one meal of steak, salad with ranch, ice cream. Right now I am eating that dinner but have incorporated ice cream for lunch or a sugar free breve vanilla latte. When I go back to teaching though I will not have time to eat in the day and will have one meal. UNLESS THIS LITTLE ICE CREAM EXPERMIMENT WORKS! Stay tuned.
I am up today on my weight from 216.2 lbs to 217 today but that is how it goes for me. I will stick with this for a few days and do as similar to what you are doing except for me it will be in my one hour time frame. I won't disparriage it even if it doesn't work for me as if it is working for you then that is what is awesome that you were able to seek out and find a WOE that is designed perfectly for you!
I just love being able to eat all my favorite foods daily, plus I know I am getting way more protein and veggies than ever so I don't feel guilty with the amounts of food or carbs I am eating. I know I will slowly over time eat less and less as that is natural anyways.
We are not the only ones doing this WOE. Not even everyone who is doing one meal a day learned it from Rachael Heller in Carbohydrate Addict's Diet (but as pointed out to me by another IF person she is probably the oldest one or at least the first one to put into print that she ate that way and lost weight). If you google "one meal a day" or similar there are many articles and blogs from people doing it also!
The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet: Gimmick, Fad, or Metabolic Adjuster?
How the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet was discovered, formed, refined, studied, and demonstrated to work with those who are Insulin Resistant
Many of us are overweight and are looking for ways to improve our health and lose weight. We have dieted in the past, only to find it a struggle the entire time: hungry, cranky, elated with the weight loss but eventually giving up only to gain all the weight back and usually even more than when we started. For some of us it has been a life long cycle of exactly this. Diet, become miserable, give up, end up worse off then having not even dieted at all.
It was due to their own similar weight loss struggles that eventually led Dr. Rachael Heller and Dr. Richard Heller to further their research. They wanted to find out how the weight Rachael lost that she accidentally stumbled upon worked. They later went on to study and refine that way of eating for consistent results with others who have similar metabolisms.
Dr. Rachael Heller had been overweight her entire life. She discovered one day when she had to fast for an X-ray that she lost 2 pounds, even though she ended up eating a rather large dinner that night. She was surprised by that and decided to continue eating the same way for the next week to see what happened. She basically fasted all day, then ate what she wanted during dinner. She realized she felt fine all day with limited hunger, good energy levels, and could still eat the foods she really liked for dinner and not suffer for it like she had following traditional low fat and low calorie diets. She continued this way of eating and ultimately lost 150 pounds!
Her husband had also struggled with his weight over the years and started keeping track of foods that seemed to satisfy him and others that seemed to trigger hunger. When they finally met later in life they decided to research their combined experiences to see how and why they had finally been able to find a way of eating that did everything we all dream about when dieting: satisfies hunger, gives you energy, allows you to still eat and lose weight, allows you to eat everyday regular comfort foods and still lose weight, is simple (no weighing, no counting calories, etc).
They went on to study why eating, and especially eating certain foods seemed to trigger more hunger and weight gain in certain people. The main culprit is how the body reacts to the hormone insulin. They found that with people who were Insulin Resistant (IR), they seemed to be hungry all the time, and all had especially strong reactions to carb rich foods. Hence dubbing this way of eating The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet. They studied certain common symptoms found in people with insulin resistance and came up with a test that reader's of their books can take to see if they have it without having to take blood tests with their doctor.
They used already known research and knowledge about insulin resistance and metabolic factors and studied how eating certain ways seemed to limit the release of insulin and this is the key to their diet. It was found that it is not necessary to fast all day like Rachael had done. You also do not have to cut out carbohydrates altogether either. You could eat foods that did not stimulate large amounts of insulin release and still lose weight. Not having large amounts of insulin floating around the blood stream has other added benefits besides weight loss: less hunger, less cravings, less drowsiness.
These are the keys to the success of this diet. You feel good. You have energy. You are not mindlessly hungry and craving certain foods and constantly wanting to eat. You can still eat wholesome foods, and once a day you can have an actual real meal for dinner (or your favorite time of day to consume carbohydrate rich foods) complete with any of your favorite foods and still lose weight. You don't have to count calories, count fat grams, weigh things, buy special diet food or products, etc. It is an actual way of eating that is simple, easy to follow, healthy, nutritious, satisfying, and most of all actually works for up to 80% of people who have Carbohydrate Addiction. It is an actual way of life.
80% success you ask? Yes. They studied 1000 people and followed them for 2 years and found they had an 80% success rate. They fine tuned the diet and continued to study it more over the years and have found over time things that seemed to contribute to failure in certain people and have gone on to publish more books and diets specific to this. Some people eat too much during their Reward Meal time- hence the CALP book's recommendations of an actual spelled out balanced meal: Start with a 2 Cup salad, look at your dinner plate and divide it into thirds: 1/3 protein, 1/3 more of vegetables, and 1/3 of a carb of your choice. They also found in certain people MSG, sugar free products, and caffeine can be triggers to release insulin. Watch for these symptoms of cravings, increased hunger, weight gain or stalled loss to be your guide that something you ingested during the low carb meals or snack is the culprit. Some people snack throughout the day, others do not mind to the one hour limit when eating. These are things that contribute to additional insulin in the blood stream. More insulin equals more hunger and weight gain.
A similar diet was set up and studied in Israel and was found to have similar results to the Heller's Carbohydrate Addict's diet. You can read more details about that study here:
Saving Carbs for Dinnertime Might Help Control Weight
Saving Carbs for Dinnertime Might Help Control Weight - healthfinder.gov
The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet (CAD), and the Carbohydrate Addict's Life Span Program (CALP) work differently than other low carb diets. You only have to follow a few simple guidelines. You do not have to keep track of carbohydrate intake for the most part. There is no induction phase, nor do you go into ketosis. On those types of diets you are given a daily allotment of carbs you can ingest. You get to choose when you want to eat them. You can eat all sorts of low carb products, and you can graze and eat all day as long as you stay within your carb allotments.
The CAD/CALP diets differ in that the food you eat, how frequently you eat, and the length of time you eat has everything to do with the Insulin Resistant metabolism. The more carbohydrate rich the foods, as well as the frequency in which one eats causes more release of insulin. In those with IR, you want to use your metabolism to your benefit. You want to manipulate it to suit you. Hence, you eat as low carb as possible, and no more than 2-3 times a day for these low carb meals. You can still eat plenty of vegetables during the low carb meals for the added nutrients of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. It has been found that you can still eat carb-rich foods in a balanced amount with the rest of a meal one time a day and still lose weight. However, you need to eat within an hour.
There are several reasons, the main being how your body releases insulin. Any time you eat, your body releases insulin in different phases. At the start of eating your body will begin to release insulin based of off previous meal intake. If previous meals were low carb, then it will release less insulin since it was primed to do so. The next phase is off of currently ingested food. If you are eating longer than an hour your body will continue to release more insulin into the blood stream. Limiting your carb-rich meal to one hour will not only cut back on the amount of food you might eat, but also uses these insulin mechanisms to your benefit.
With other low carb diets, you may be consuming less carbs in total over the day, but still having insulin in the blood stream far more regularly than if you limited meals to a total of 3-4 times a day and ideally spaced 3-6 hours apart. Not to mention with other low carb diets you can actually eat quite a lot of carbs at meals and still be considered "low carb." Think of the CAD/CALP way of eating as "extreme low-carb" all day and then "regular carb" at your carb rich meal.
This may be why depending on a particular person's metabolism one way of eating may work and another may not. One should find a way of eating that can be a lifestyle and not a short term solution. If you find that your particular way of eating is not satisfying, that you are always hungry, and that you think you have avoid certain foods or food groups in order to lose weight and that is not something you can conceive of doing the rest of your life, then you may want to consider trying CAD/CALP yourself to see if it works for your particular metabolism.
The diet in a nutshell with meal planning examples:
A low carb breakfast such as eggs and bacon, an omelet with spinach and cheese, cream cheese and lunch meat lettuce wraps.
For lunch, a large salad with your favorite salad dressing (should be 2gm of carbs per serving or less), and your choice of diced chicken, a hamburger pattie, deli meats, etc.
For an optional snack if needed: pepperoni and cheese sticks, a cabbage roll, a boiled egg, etc.
For dinner: Start with a large salad. Divide your plate into thirds and have 1/3 protein of your choice, 1/3 of another vegetable of your choice, and 1/3 of a carb of your choice (alcoholic beverage, fruit, rice, beans, ice cream, cake, bread, etc). You do not have to weigh or count calories. Just eyeball it and keep to the thirds balance. If you want seconds go back for a second serving of each in the same 1/3 portions and not for just more carbs to keep it all balanced. Consume it all within an hour. The original CAD diet was more vague about keeping the meal balanced and a lot of people interpreted that diet as a one hour carb binge. However some people can still eat a lot more carbs during this meal and lose weight. If you are not losing weight you may want to follow the balanced plan as outlined in the CALP book for better results.
You may also drink water and unsweetened coffee or tea as often as you wish. If you want cream in your coffee, you can do so once a day and should drink it within 15 minutes. Do not drink sugar free sodas or diet drinks outside of your carb meal. Even sugar free sweeteners have been found to cause the body to release insulin.
Read the books for the exact details of their diet plans and for more information on the list of acceptable foods such as proteins, vegetables, and condiments that have been studied and considered acceptable during the low carb meals for the best success.
Make It Work
I decided to post the article I wrote about CAD and insulin resistance since it has good information about each and discusses the history behind how Rachael Heller lost 150 lbs by eating one meal a day.
Checking in! :) I've been enjoying the one meal a day plan! I usually eat every day between 4-6pm. Weekends I've done two meals though, and it seems to be working in my favor so far...and works in with my social life better as well.
Thanks for making the thread, MIW!! :)
Haagen dazs is only $3.50 at Walmart. Everywhere else is 4.99 or more. I eat regular ice cream for dinner and it doesn't matter what kind. I just try not to have anything with extra goodies in it other than nuts for the high fat and protein. Cookies and cream would be carby.
Ya I am going to have to cut back on those sooner or later.
To Teri
Weekends are going to be difficult for me to stick to one meal a day--Mon-Fri is super easy, because my fiancé works out of town and I don't have to worry about meals with him; but a lot of our weekend activities are centered around socializing and eating....because we don't get to see each other during the week, and we're foodies....so we really, really like to eat. I'm going to do 2 meals those days for this month and see if I continue to have progress--if not, I think I'll have to just figure out how to make one meal work for us.
Just be sure your other meal is protein/veggies and you'll continue to lose and do just fine! Remember that for most of us this WOE works because we are pre-diabetic. That means we are insulin resistant or the fancy term hyperinsulinemia. It is a medical condition and there is no cure. Once the pancreas and liver wear out you then become diabetic. I try to think of the medical aspect the few times I think about veering off plan to keep me in line!
Today's RM:
stir fried top sirloin with red curry sauce
Large 4 C salad with 4 stalks celery and 1 whole avacado and ranch dsg
Large decaf iced mocha with 4-6 ounces of half and half
1 haagen-das ice cream bar
2 choc chip cookies
Thanks for all of the good information, I have been reading about the CAD/CALP and it sounds reasonable. I did JUDDD for a few months and was happy with the progress , unfortunately, I was hit with a severe allergic reaction to some medication and was put on steroids. I am hoping that I'm almost done with that situation, but it sure wrecked my JUDDD plan. I'm going to take the information that I have and try to implement the one meal a day, and order a book from the Hellers.. I sure hope this can work for me.
Oh, wow !, I have been over there at amazon reading and my goodness, I am hearing all the things I need to hear, also, I can remember hearing about the Carb Addicts diet years ago, and seems like at the time I didn't understand how it worked and was doing Atkins. this is the first day to wake up after doing the CALP/IF, . and I have to say... I cannot believe how good I felt this morning, not hungry at all. . I want to thank you, MIW, because I don't think I would have looked into it, if you hadn't been so informative and diligent with your posts.. I was feeling so defeated the other day, so I came across your posts and just kept reading. I'm willing to put the time in to learn, so I've ordered the book., I will continue to read and reread all I can find about this woe. I have hope., yes, that is a great feeling to have too.
Here are my meals for the last couple of day:
Yesterday I was at work so it was a "Large Lunch" day:
1 lrg ribeye steak
4 Cup salad with 3 TBSP ranch
2 choc chip cookies
3 macadamia nut caramel chocolate clusters (from Costco)
16 oz iced decaf mocha breve (made with half&half)
Today my weight was 216.6. I am bouncing from 215-216.6 lbs for last couple of weeks. At least I am maintaining!
Today I am doing a "Big Breakfast" might eat some protein/veggies later if I get hungry as this one was carb heavy and between 8-9am:
3 pc of regular sized wheat-white toast with butter one pc with homemade rasp. jelly
4 pc bacon
2 fried eggs
Large iced decaf mocha breve (made with about 3 oz half & half)
One thing about eating one meal a day, it simplifies everything. It is a cool idea. Do you have a calorie range that you target each day?
You know what is weird? I always lose on a pint of haagen dazs butter pecan ice cream for brunch with a dinner of ribeye, salad with ranch and more ice cream but mint chip. Yesterday I had a cm of 2 big pcs. of cheese and a sugar free coffee with HWC and same dinner but gain a pound. It was a perfect CAD day but I don't lose on that like I do on dinner.
I have got sage advice from a gal who lost a lot of weight (but very slowly) on one meal a day and she waits to later in the day like afternoon early evening. She says the trick is to get good and full. I eat around 1800-2600 calories a day, and 100-160 gms of carbs. I have slowly lost 20 pounds and am in a plateau right now but I have done that since November 1st. It is super slow, some months I only lose a pound for the whole month. I started out doing 2 CM's, and one RM according to the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet, then got into Intermittent Fasting with CAD, then slowly just went down to one meal a day. I do not cut calories or carbs. I just eat it all in an hour. Oriana does it too but she can eat some carbs at a second meal and still maintain or even lose. You just have to see what works for you. I went off plan for 4 days and gained 8 pounds! Luckily I took 4 lbs off the first day back on plan but it really does correct insulin surges and I feel better when I eat this way.
Today my RM from 12:50-1:50
6 Cups mixed green salad, 1/2 avacado, 3 celery stalks
4 TBSP Hidden Valley Ranch dsg
1 large ribeye steak
Ice caramel vanilla breve with 4 ounces of syrups and 4 oz of half & half
1 brownie muffin
1 C salted caramel ice cream (SafeWay brand)
As you can see I am a bit carb heavy but I aim for 1 part veggies, 1 part protein/fat and 1-2 parts carbs. I eat large meals but I have found this to be the best for me :)
MIW, your meals seem to be completely satisfying! And it's working for you, which is awesome! After the weekend, I have some making up to do, as I kinda went overboard on eating--back on plan today, and looking forward to a good, satisfying dinner!
Hey Saxy! I see you are under 200! That is awesome. I hope to get there someday... but I do love to eat so slow and steady I go I suppose...
That meal btw when I did an audit of the calories was 2800 calories and over 300 gms of carbs. YIKES. I do not eat like that every day and even with that meal in there I lost 0.19 lbs from the previous week but I do not plan on making that a habit.
Yesterday I went out to eat with a friend and the kids and did get hungry later around bedtime so I had some cheese and low carb pepperoni made with honey and no MSG. Lost a pound- go figure! Today I am 215.4 but I looked back and I have been 214-217 since April so I am in some long plateau. I did this the first 4 months also. I am a very slow metabolism but I can feel it chipping away. My skin is getting really lose and my ring is spinning on my finger again. I am not giving up!!!
Thank you sometimes I need to hear that! :)
Today's RM (an RM only day)
2 C celery sticks
3 TBSP ranch
2 salmon patties
1 slice cheddar cheese
big piece lettuce, slice of tomato and onions
1 pc of blackberry cobbler
1 blueberry yogurt
16 iced mocha with 2%
Have felt good all day and it was fun to mix it up a bit with my food choices and not have the same old same old. I only ate half the cobbler I brought, and didn't eat a snickers I brought along also. Getting easier to say no and I also got a 16 oz with 2% and not a 20 oz with half & half.
I decided for the next while I am going to try going back to 2 meals a day and see if that can kick my metabolism out of this plateau I have been in since late March. I will follow CALP guidelines with IF and do a low carb CM, then focus on having more realistic RM's that are balanced better.
I haven't had a good week, eating-wise...even if I don't eat much, I'm feeling like a bloated whale due to TOM, and my cycle being messed up due to me stopping birth control I'd been on for over 20 years straight. Not sure if it was such a good idea to take a break from that. :(

Ohhh where could you go with a gift.... here are some of the things I considered this year....
1. Ugg Boots - very popular - but don't go with the trend. Get the original ones 'Celt' from Sheepskin Footwear and Accessories from Celtic Sheepskin - the original Ugg Boot.
2. If she is young and trendy then the One Botton jewellery is very nice. one button jewellery » Necklaces, Bracelets, Rings, Earrings, Brooches - she is bound to like that
3. Perfume - I wouldn't buy the perfume or any makeup stuff. It's tough to do that when they are with you never mind when they are not.
4. Of course a hat, scarf and gloves is a safe bet but as Witch says many girls have this. Of course you could get her some ultra trendy stuff like Animal or Quicksilver - they do some nice sets
5. I'm sure every girl likes to laze in front of the TV on a cold night so some chunky socks are nice. Fat Face do a nice range.
Not much help, but you never know,

Officials: "We will rebuild"
TEXAS — UPDATE (12:45pm): The video above includes audio from dispatchers as they arrived on scene at the State Fair of Texas to put the fire out.
ORIGINAL STORY (10:47am): The star and icon of the State Fair of Texas went up in flames on Friday morning.
For 60 years, Big Tex stood 52 feet high, welcoming visitors to the Dallas annual experience. This morning his clothes, made of fabric, went up in a blaze as firefighters rushed to the scene.
What's left of the metal structure are Big Tex' hands and sleeves. His 75 gallon hat and other clothing are gone.
The State Fair star greeted visitors to the annual event with a big "Howdy, Folks!"
The voice of Big Tex, Bill Bragg, says the fair will rebuild the icon for next year's fair.
Firefighters say the blaze broke out because of an electrical issue.

Pull on, fasten strap, turn dial, strap into bindings, and shred in a boot that's juuust riiight.
We know it may be hard to believe, ladies, but the Vans Women's Kira Snowboard Boot may be the most user-friendly and versatile boot you'll ever wear. A large Power Cuff is all you have to cinch to tighten the top, and the Boa cable system tightens over your foot for super-easy and fast in-and-out. From park laps to tree lines and the occasional beer-break in the lodge on a bitter cold day, the not-too-stiff and not-too-soft Kira won't disappoint.
- Boa Power Cuff lacing system utilizes the cable only on the instep (ankle) and lower zone for quick, easy tightening
- Power Strap on the upper cuff provides both support and upper cuff closure
- Trifit X Thermal liner features the X-cage heel pad for killer hold
- One-piece Vanslite Snowaffle sole features a molded EVA midsole for reduced weight with the reverse-waffle tread for grip
- TPR Insole cushions and comforts your foot with the Outlast temperature-management topsheet, rebound EVA, molded arch, and dual-density heel/forefoot impact pads
- Internal web harness wraps the liner and keeps your foot secured while you pop, spin and slash

Way too stiff
These boots fit my narrow feet pretty well but they are SO STIFF that I found them impossible. The other thing of note is this. They have very little traction and caused me to fall several times while walking around. I felt like I had ski boots on they were so slippery. I guess I am back on the hunt for the perfect boot.
Nice fit way stiff...
These boots fit my very narrow feet. I can say this though .. if these are 5 on a stiffness scale of 1-10 where 10 is the stiffest.. then 10 is like having a cast on your ankle. These boots are VERY VERY stiff. Did I mention they are stiff?
These boots are great, but the sole-heel...
These boots are great, but the sole-heel is slightly larger than other boots of the same size. I have difficulty getting my size 7 Kiras in and out of a Burton Stilleto (M) binding.... any advice on recommended bindings? or should I just get Large bindings?

I am a 28 year old 6'1 190lbs male with a size 12 boot, I mostly just carve down the mountain on any difficulty of run. Would a K2 Turbo Dream 160 cm wide board be a good size for me?
Ryan Northcott
Highly Recommended
the turbo dream is K2's rockered all mountain killer. I wanted a board that would give me control while ripping down groomers, effortless float in the powder, maneuverability in the trees and dampening on hard landings. I can confidently say after riding this board that it does all of these things very well. i opted for a 157W to maintain maneuverability, but i was worried about how it would behave in high speed carving. after testing it out on groomers my worries immediately disappeared. The edge to edge transitions are snappy and edge hold is strong. This board is very confidence inspiring when ripping through the groomers. This deck also kills it in the trees in the tight powder stashes and trails. with the 157 and the rocker technology, the board can turn on a dime, and is very responsive when you need to make split second turns and decisions when bombing the forest. the rocker tech also means this board floats effortlessly in the powder. this allows for a more centered stance when cruising the pow and minimizes the the back leg burn you would get with a cambered board. with the harshmellow technology added for this years turbo dream, you have another layer of absorption when you case those jumps or hit a drop with a flat landing. the harshmellow also helps when riding over crud and small children, as it acts as a shock absorber to minimize small impacts. this board is also very confidence inspiring when trying new tricks, especially spins. the rockered design makes it much more difficult to catch an edge on sketchy landings, and will inspire you to try bigger jumps and more spins.

It's hard to believe, given all that's happened since I returned home to Christchurch, that only a few months ago I was floating around the Baltic on the Star Princess, taking in the sights, being amazed by the scenery and enthralled by the people.
Visiting Scandinavia was the highlight of the three month long world trip I was taking with my mother, sadly to be cut short by an illness that resulted in being stranded in Olso for a week.
But that one brief taste of Scandinavia has left me wanting more.
And this recently launched 'Faces of Scandinavia' campaign, created by VisitDenmark, Innovation Norway, VisitSweden and Icelandair, only adds to my desire to return to the region.
This unique campaign features famous US-based Scandinavians promoting their favorite local travel destinations around Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
Read their personal travel stories and recommendations to get a local perspective of the place and then leave a comment for a chance to win a three day trip to Scandinavia for two that includes
- two roundtrip tickets with Icelandair to Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm
- two nights in a fabulous hotel in each city
- overnight cruise from Oslo to Copenhagen
- train from Copenhagen to Stockholm
- City Cards for sightseeing in each city
Or you could win the 2nd place prize of
- a 16GB iPad with Wi-Fi and 3G
- the travel application Guidepal
I'd enter but sadly, it's only open to US residents.
So what are you waiting for?
Why not give it a go…

Last-place Portland invades the Arena tonight for a showdown with the next-to-last-place Chiefs, who are trying to stop a long losing streak.
So whom do the Chiefs look to for leadership? That would be captain Adam Hobson, the subject of a Jeff Bunch profile in today's S-R. According to Bunch's story, Hobson has fulfilled the high expectations the team had for him when Spokane took him in the first round of the WHL draft in 2002.
As we mentioned before, the Winter Hawks have won three consecutive games. But we neglected to link to this story. Now we have.

NAPA, Calif. (AP) - Oakland Raiders starting left tackle Jared Veldheer will need surgery on his torn left triceps and will miss a significant portion of the upcoming season.
Coach Dennis Allen announced the diagnosis on Wednesday after the team got the results of a second MRI on the injured arm. Allen said Veldheer will be a candidate to be put on the injured reserve list with a designation for return, which would require him to miss at least the first eight weeks of the season.
Veldheer is perhaps Oakland's best player on offense at one of the most important positions as the protector of the quarterback's blindside. Alex Barron will get the first shot to replace Veldheer. Barron has not played a game since 2010.

Persistent 0x50 BSOD upon restart, fresh install.
Hello guys, I've got an annoying BSOD on a nearly new computer, and I've tried to exhaust possibilities but can't seem to nail it down.
Windows 7 x64 OS
AMD Athlon ii x2 250 Processor @3 ghz
Gigabyte GA-M68MT-SP2 F1 (w/ onboard Nvidia GeForce 7025/630a Graphics)
ATI Radeon HD 5400 1 GB Graphics
8GB 1333mhz PKR RAM (replaced 4GB Kingston, replaced to rule out RAM fault)
500 GB Seagate Harddisk
It's a custom build from Ginger6
The BSOD keeps occurring even on a fresh OS; I reinstalled last night and it begins happening from the first windows update restart, or sometimes when installing programs.
I've tried to rule out graphics - BSOD occurs both with ATI graphics card installed and also on the onboard Nvidia Graphics - I've used their respective online tools to find the right drivers, so I think they're up to date
I've also tried to rule out Ram faults - I tested the original kingston Ram numerous times on Memtest and Windows Memory debugging - no faults came back but to be safe I replaced with the 8GB PKR
I've ran chkdsk on the hard disk and it came back with no errors - in previous attempts I formatted the drive before a fresh OS install - no joy there
Bluescreen view points to ntoskrnl.exe, and I've tried using the MS debugging but I'm not sure I'm doing it right
So, all in all, I'm at a loss as to what to try next - I figured the experts here might be able to help me out. Thanks for your time, much appreciated

Hello there, cheers for replying
I uninstalled the Nvidia and ATI software via the control panel, and restarted, which resulted a couple more crashes, same 0x50 type: the ATI card plus drivers are still installed
Looking through the device manager, I do appear to have a mix of ATI and Nvidia drivers -
ATI Radeon HD 5400 Series
NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller
NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller
The onboard motherboard graphics are also Nvidia, but those drivers are not installed at the moment.
I'm going to run without the ATI graphics card, and just on the m/board graphics, to see if it is a the ATI Nvidia conflict
edit* Right, I've taken the graphics card out and computer is running on the integrated m/board graphics only, no blue screens, and I've restarted numerous times to make sure.
Is it worth trying to re-install the ATI card? I can't find any individual drivers on their website, it all seems to come under the Catalyst software, so is there somewhere else I should be looking or would that be alright?

The mixed NVIDIA and ATI drivers will occur on your system, but you need to avoid mixed graphics drivers. The drivers you list are for your hard disk controller and network controllers and will not conflict with the graphics. What you want to make sure of is no NVIDIA graphics related software through start menu -> control panel -> uninstall a program by going through the software I provided in my previous post and making sure none of that software is installed when using the ATI card.
You should try installing only the drivers for the ATI card after uninstalling the AMD Install Manager software. You can manually install the drivers for the ATI card as follows:

Okay, problem seems fixed! Thanks for your help!
Think I might go with an Nvidia graphics card next time if it avoids all these issues.

We have a string consisting $n$ $1$s and $m$ $0$s. Consider a random permutation of the string. The $1$s divide all $0$s into $n+1$ consecutive pieces (including those of length $0$). Let r.v. $X_i$ be the length of the $i$th piece. For example, in $01000110$, we have $X_1=1$, $X_2=3$, $X_3=0$, $X_4=1$. My question is whether r.v.s $X_i$ are negatively associated/regressive? I couldn't find any ref on this but I think this might have been looked at before. Thanks a lot.

Formation of a vapor film on a solid surface reduces the drag coefficient. However the formation of a stable vapor film
layer requires large input energy.
The vapor film is
established when the nucleate boiling regime changes to the
film boiling regime. The transition from nucleate boiling to
film boiling is commonly known as critical heat flux (CHF).
most normal surfaces CHF occurs at about 1000 kW/m2
for water at atmospheric pressure, requiring substantial
energy to develop a surface vapor layer.
This technology allows formation of a stable vapor film on an object's surface with substantially less energy by reducing CHF by orders of magnitude. The CHF for surfaces prepared with the coatings is as low as 20-40 kW/m2, requiring 96-98% less heat to sustain the vapor film. The coatings performance is the result of engineered porosity and hydrophobicity.

This technology involves a resonant power converter architecture operating at fixed
frequency that can achieves very high efficiency (over 90%) over a wide
operating range. The converter uses lossless impedance control networks and
associated controls. The architecture achieves zero voltage switching (ZVS) and
near zero current switching (ZCS) simultaneously. In addition, this architecture
allows bi-directional power flow.

buffering strategy that utilizes the ability of a capacitor to
efficiently operate over a wide voltage range allows increasing
the effective energy storage density to become on par with that
of electrolytic capacitor. Previous switched capacitor buffering
strategies have been shown to be effective in achieving high
capacitor energy utilization, however, they are either too
complicated for practical implementation or suffer large voltage
ripple ratio. The Stacked Switched Capacitor buffer architecture
in this technology provides high effective energy density, as
long as the capacitors can operate efficiently over a wide
voltage range.

Techniques for Prolonging the Orgasm
Then he will caress the clitoris and notice very carefully her reactions, letting himself guided by her directions. Every woman has got her own preferences to what sexual stimulation is concerned. Some women prefer to be caressed directly on the clitoris, but most of them appreciate continuous and slow caresses.
After you discover the hottest spots and the most erotic ways she likes to be caressed, try to amplify pleasure. During all this time, in order to facilitate the orgasm, the woman can do the Kegel exercises by alternating prolonged contractions with fast ones. It's good for the woman to abandon herself to the pleasure she experiences as much as possible in order to reach the orgasm.
During her orgasm, the man feels with his fingers the contractions of the vaginal muscles. At this moment he will stop or lower down the clitoridian stimulation and will maintain the vaginal one.
Internal stimulation will determine a second type of orgasmic contractions, deeper than the ones in case of a usual orgasm that involves only the first third part of the vagina. They involve the profound pelvic muscles, including the uterine ones. It is an essential condition for a prolonged orgasm at women.
During the woman's usual orgasm, which is the explosive orgasm (this type of orgasm is similar with the man's ejaculatory orgasm because in both cases the sexual energy is lost), the vaginal muscles present spastic contractions. On the other hand during a prolonged orgasm contractions are being sustained and they last. When a man feels that kind of contraction he can be sure that his lover experiences such a prolonged orgasm.
The next step consists in amplifying this extraordinary state of pleasure through a more intense stimulation. It is best to come back to the clitoridian stimulation in order to provoke again the orgasmic contractions, which will be immediately followed by a vaginal stimulation.
By alternating the two types of stimulation you can obtain a significant increasing of the number, duration and force of the contractions. After approximately 15 minutes the period between contractions will become shorter and finally the woman will get the continuous orgasm.
By following these steps you will be able to make your lover experience a prolonged orgasm and she will feel vaginal contractions for several hours. After such an experience she will be able to experience a prolonged orgasm a lot faster, sometimes even by a simple penetration. From this moment each time will be full of ecstatic thrills.
After that the woman will stimulate his testicles and prostatic spot, which is situated between testicles and anus. By combining penis stimulation with the one of prostatic spot and testicles, the man will be able to reach a very intense state of excitement. Thus he has to be able to control very well the intensity of pleasure.
His lover should pull his testicles very delicately because ejaculation will not appear as long as they are relaxed. She can also press very hard the prostatic spot or to squeeze firmly the base of the penis with the thumb and the forefinger. After the critical point the woman can stimulate him again.
The next step consists in practicing the exercises for blocking ejaculation while the breathing must be very calm. You'll notice then the appearance of a secretion, which is thinner than sperm. The number of contractions during a prolonged orgasm will be also increased from 6/10 during a usual orgasm to dozens.
The reason of this technique is to make the man experience as many orgasms as possible, at least 15 times in a row. You'll notice how the level of excitement of each orgasm will get bigger and bigger till the state of intense pleasure becomes continuous.
The woman has to continue stimulating her lover even while he experiences orgasmic bliss. An easy stroke on the penis and a rhythmical pressure on the prostatic spot can prolong the orgasm. The contractions can be felt for many minutes without pause.

CIC's clients include Nike, Dell, and Intel.
Kantar Media, part of WPP's consumer insight unit, has acquired social media intelligence firm CIC, to meet growing demand and expand its social offering in China.
China is reportedly the world's second largest ad market with approximately 350 million Internet users on social media and more than 50,000 companies that own a microblog account in the country.
CIC, founded by Sam Flemming in 2004, has presence in Shanghai and Beijing including a team of 60 social media consultants.
In a phone interview, Flemming said China is a unique and fragmented social landscape that has its own versions of social media.
A challenge for brand marketers is to develop a communication strategy that outlines where their brands want to be and what they want to say on the social platforms. More data will allow brands to be systematic in their media planning, he explained.
His firm collects data in the form of billions of consumer brand mentions that provides insights for companies to identify which social platform is relevant as well as understand what consumers are talking around their brands.
The acquisition will enable his agency to develop new offering by combining its data with Kantar Media's resources across 60 markets.
Nike, Dell, and Intel are among some examples of its roster of blue chip clients in China.
CIC will continue to be based in Shanghai and Beijing and its management team will report to Jean-Michel Portier, global CEO of Kantar Media.
"CIC will enrich our global digital expertise in capturing millions of online conversations and 'making sense of the buzz' in order to provide interpretation that informs strategic decisions and leads to action," Portier said in a press statement.
Flemming declined to comment on the deal's value; he said the acquisition will take effect in the next few months.

On November 17, four convicted terrorists appealed to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, Colorado, to review the alleged violation of their constitutionally guaranteed due process rights on the part of the government of the United States. The four co-petitioners are Omar Rezaq, Ibrahim Elgabrowny, El-Sayyid Nosair, and Mohammed Salameh. While these names may not sound familiar, their deeds are infamous. A brief "rap sheet" for each follows.
Omar Mohammed Ali Rezaq is the sole surviving hijacker of EgyptAir Flight 648. He was one of three members of the militant Palestinian organization Abu Nidal (named for the founder of Fatah, Abu Nidal) who participated in the hijacking of the plane in 1985. The other two hijackers were gunned down either by armed sky marshals or by Egyptian commandos who stormed onto the airplane. On July 19, 1996, a federal district judge sentenced Rezaq to life imprisonment for his role in the hijacking.
Conservative economist Robert Higgs' warnings about the Heritage Foundation's Index of Dependence on Government were already outdated when they were published on Thursday. The updated statistics from Heritage for 2011, published the next day, showed the situation in the United States to be even worse than Higgs warned.
Higgs noted that the so-called "ruling class" (taken from Angelo Codevilla's book of the same name) is a tiny percentage of the total population in the country, and has in the past only been able to maintain its legitimacy through vote-buying and mainstream media credibility. The fear of the ruling class has always been that dissatisfaction and distrust would result in their expulsion from the seats of power. But Higgs notes that now there are so many Americans dependent upon the government for their very subsistence that resistance to the tyranny of the ruling class is being increasingly neutralized.
The more dependent the citizens become on their government, the less influence they are likely to have in any substantial downsizing of that government:
It was billed as a "Lincoln-Douglas -style" debate on foreign policy, though there was, alas, no Lincoln, no Douglas and, apparently, not much debating when Republican presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and John Huntsman met at the Dana Center at Saint Anselm College in Goffstown, New Hampshire, Monday afternoon. Gingrich, the former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Huntsman, the former governor of Utah and later ambassador to China, spent 90 minutes in a bloodless exchange of views that bore some resemblance to a college seminar.
For a number of Americans, the Christmas season is a time for joy and love, but for others, it's an opportunity to stage a war against Christianity. The latest battle entails a blasphemous nativity scene from a group of atheists, which they have defended as a response to counteract the Christian "War on the Constitution."
Wisconsin is once again at the center of a major dispute, this time because Governor Scott Walker made the mistake of referring to the "holiday" spruce as a "Christmas tree." That prompted the Freedom from Religion Foundation to call Walker "a Teabagger governor wearing religion on his sleeves."
We're told that Barack Obama chose the obscure locale of Osawatomie, Kansas, for his recent domestic policy speech because it was the site of a seminal Teddy Roosevelt speech 101 years ago. This may very well be true. Through the distinctively named city of 4,500, Obama could make a symbolic connection with the man who once offered Americans a Hamiltonian conception of state power dubbed the "New Nationalism." Yet, unbeknownst to virtually everyone, Obama is connected to "Osawatomie" through another man.
Amidst all of the controversy surrounding the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the Obama administration attempted to paint itself as an oppositional force against the bill, threatening to veto it if it passed. Now, however, Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.), co-author of the bill, has said that the administration in fact heavily lobbied to have removed from the bill language that would have protected American citizens from some of the bill's provisions, such as indefinite detention without trial. According to Levin, who is Chairman of the Armed Services Committee:
New polls released this week show near-record high fears of big government and strong support for the emergence of a credible third party to shake up Washington, D.C., largely because the Republican and Democrat parties are viewed in an increasingly unfavorable light.
According to a USA Today/Gallup survey released on December 13, around 54 percent of Americans nationwide would like to see the rise of an alternative to the two major parties. The number was 52 percent in the top 12 "battleground" states, according to a report about the poll.
The reason: The GOP and Democratic parties "do such a poor job that a third major party is needed," survey participants said. Support for a third party is even higher among moderate and liberal Republicans, as well as moderate and conservative Democrats, USA Today reported. Barely a third of conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans were "enthusiastic" about voting for President in 2012, the poll found.
Meanwhile, a separate poll released by Gallup this week revealed that fear of "big government" is far more widespread than worries about "big business" or "big labor." When asked which of the three represented the biggest threat to America, 64 percent said an overbearing government — close to the record of 65 percent reached in 1999 and 2000.
The popular and often controversial radio host Michael Savage has not cloaked his disdain for GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich, as Savage has offered the former House Speaker one million dollars to drop out of the GOP race. On Monday, Savage cautioned that Gingrich as the Republican nominee would virtually guarantee a second term for the President, as Gingrich is nothing more than "a fat, old, white man" who Obama would effectively dismantle during the presidential debates.
Dr. Savage, host of "The Savage Nation" radio program, wrote on his website that the Republican presidential contest has boiled down to two contenders, Newt Gingrich and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney — and only one of them has a fighting chance at capturing the White House.
"Mitt Romney is the only candidate with a chance of defeating Barack Obama," wrote Savage, "and there is nothing more important than that for future health, safety and security of the United States of America. Therefore, I am offering Newt Gingrich one million dollars to drop out of the presidential race for the sake of the nation."
Asserting that the "most pressing issue before America today" is the defeat of Barack Obama, Savage contended that Gingrich is unelectable, and that Romney — although not "as strong a conservative as many would like him to be" — is the only candidate capable of defeating Obama. Honing in on Gingrich's personal ethics and his questionable record in public office, the San Francisco radio host laid out his case on his website (writing in all caps):
Responding to criticism of his "nay" vote on a supplemental appropriations bill for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Sen. John Kerry said in 2004, "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it" — a statement that came to define the Massachusetts Democrat, then running for President, as a flip-flopper with no convictions.
Eight years later another presidential candidate, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, finds himself in a similar gherkin. Gingrich, it seems, was for the ObamaCare individual mandate before he was against it; and his newfound opposition to the mandate appears to be less a matter of conviction than of political opportunism.
According to CNSNews.com, as far back as 1993 Gingrich was stumping for an individual mandate. Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press in October of that year, then-House Minority Whip Gingrich said: "I am for people, individuals — exactly like automobile insurance — individuals having health insurance and being required to have health insurance. And I am prepared to vote for a voucher system which will give individuals, on a sliding scale, a government subsidy so we insure that everyone as individuals have health insurance." In other words, if Gingrich had gotten his way, one of the central features of ObamaCare would have been enacted 18 years ago.
Washington gridlock may turn out to be the salvation of the Obama administration. Not only does gridlock allow the president to blame Republicans for not solving the financial crisis that his own runaway spending created, the inability to carry out as much government intervention in the economy as when the Democrats controlled both Houses of Congress means that the market can now recover on its own to some visible extent before the next election.
