Why is eating chocolate so pleasurable? Can the function of just one small group of chemicals really determine whether you are happy or sad? Does marijuana help to improve your memory in old age? Is it really best to drink coffee if you want to wake up and be alert? Why is a drug like PCP potentially lethal? Why does drinking alcohol make you drowsy? Do cigarettes help to relieve anxiety? What should you consume if you are having trouble staying in your chair and focusing enough to get your work done? Why do treatments for the common cold make us drowsy? Can eating less food preserve your brain? What are the possible side effects of pills that claim to make your smarter? Why is it so hard to stop smoking? Why did witches once believe that they could fly? In this book, Gary Wenk demonstrates how, as a result of their effects on certain neurotransmitters concerned with behavior, everything we put into our bodies has very direct consequences for how we think, feel, and act. The chapters introduce each of the main neurotransmitters involved with behavior, discuss its role in the brain, present some background on how it is generally turned on and off, and explain ways to influence it through what we consume.

She's following up with a superb junior season at Cal State Northridge, and her exceptional play led the surprising Matadors -- Big West Conference co-leaders with UC Irvine -- to 1-0 victories over Long Beach State and Cal State Fullerton.

Posted on 02/27/2012 12:04:08 PM PST by Repeat Offender
Just when you may have thought the ongoing battle between the 99% and the 1% was dying down, it may have been reignited. A wealthy banker left a $1.33 tip on a $133 lunch at the True Food Kitchen restaurant in Newport Beach, California.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
I've had that happen, and to prevent being burned by an angry boss, I went back and paid the tip later, discreetly.
Federal Minimum Wage Act mandates $7.25/hr. Some states pay more than that...like Washington State, where it's $9.04/hr.
One day at lunch saw what I figure the employer pay the bill and tip and as the boss walked away from the table, the employee a few seconds behind quickly grabbed the tip and stuff it in his pocket as he walked away from the table.
That doesn't surprise me. The guy probably lies to the boss all the time, and will eventually get sacked for it.
You're very welcome.
First off, thanks for ignoring my many typos, and I'm sorry for my impatient tone, but I was getting ready to eat, and the first post I made didn't come through, and got erased. So I was a little miffed at starting over. This topic is also a bit of a pet peeve of mine, because there are several editorials written into the local paper each month about this very issue, and the entitled youngsters get upset that they're not making 6-figures (that's entirely possible in Vegas, where I'm originally from).
Oh, and yes, as you said, I have waited tables, for years, as a matter of fact. I have done everything in restaurant service from dish washing to being a cook, cashier, server, delivery driver, wait staff, supervisor, assistant manager to General Manager (over multiple locations).
As I said in an earlier post, I rarely eat out anymore. The service in the area I live is terrible, perhaps the worst in my experience. I have won an award from the chamber of commerce in Las Vegas, including breakfast with the mayor. When working for a large restaurant, I was employee of the month on occasion, and I have also had out of towners write into the paper to name me by name. I worked for one restaurant chain, and had more comment cards sent into the corporate office than all other employees at all others stores combined for nearly a decade (all positive). I'm not trying to toot my horn, but rather qualify that I understand good, and bad, service. When I was younger, I would always tip (being from Las Vegas, where service is great), regardless of service, because I knew that everybody has a bad day. I've lived in my current area (there are multiple small towns, but only one large, main, one) for the better part of a decade, and not only is the food not very good, but the service is terrible. At first I would just tip my minimum (15-20%) if the service wasn't good. But then I began to not tip when I would have really bad wait staff. (Only once or twice have I had really "good" staff here, the rest varied from, pretty bad to, "don't come back").
Anyway, that's why I have the pet peeve. In places where I have to hail another server because mine's busy flirting with college boys, or I have to go looking for someone to get me a drink because my server is in the back, texting, and on and on, I figure, "Why bother?" I was, after all, a cook, so I can make it at home, for half the price, and exactly to my taste. That having been said, I think we should get rid of the whole tipping process altogether. Someone higher up in the thread said that if we did that, then we'd have food cost 30% more. That's pretty inflated. A well run restaurant has between 20-24% labor costs. Well, it's full service and you remove the cooks, supervisors, dishwashers, etc. who aren't paid in tips, then if you raised your servers to $10/hour, you may see a 2-4% cost increase, depending on what your meals cost in the first place. If a waitress is serving 5 tables/hour, and in theory gets an 8 dollar/hour raise, then each table pays about $1.60 more per meal. Now, that depends on the number of people sitting at the table, but let's say it was for 3 people, or 50 cents a plate. Well, if each person orders $15 of food, then the cost goes up by about 3.5%. So it depends on how much you'd pay them, and the demographics, etc. But I'd rather pay the 3.5% and not hear all the yapping about the 15%, 20%, or 25% now being asked for as a tip. I know this post was lengthy, but that's why I don't agree with tipping at all. However, the side consequence is that restaurants are very competitive, especially right now, and many cannot afford the labor cost, or to raise prices. So, there's probably no really good solution to all the problems in the situation.
Excellent point. I made a comment outlining that further down the thread, but sadly, it was full of typos. Thanks for making that clear and concise.

I've had that happen a few times. Once it was the guys brother in law (I knew the main man, as he was a regular, and explained he had family visiting). It was a huge group of 15+ people that ook a long time to set up and break down, and left a huge mess. The BIL waited until the rest of the family left out the doors, and then he took the tip that the regular guy had left me. I was pretty hot about it. More than one incident like that in my time, too.
Reservoir Dogs - Tipping Scene (Warning: Language)
Tipping should not become an entitlement. I consider it an insult and ripoff to be required to pay over and above the bill. I do not tip my teller, banker, grocer, cashier at checkout, car repair mechanic, my handyman, my mailman, garbage collector and may other people who provide services to me.
Best of luck getting a case put together.
And never insult the people handling your food. Being right won't stop snot in your food. Or worse. If you frequent a place, make sure you treat the help good.
Yes it is extortion, but larger firms do the same thing to their customers all the time.
I haven't eaten at a Sizzler in 30 years or a Johnny Rockets in probably 10, and as I recall, California Cafe is a "fast casual" where you order at the counter, pay, and then go sit and wait for your number to be called. The basic rule is that any place that has a waiter who comes to where I'm sitting, who takes my order, and who brings a check at the end is someone who gets a tip. It has nothing to do with "high end," since I also tip at the little breakfast spot around the corner from my house.
30% is about right. You forgot taxes for wages that the restaurant would have to pay.
I know of a place that tried it, and that was the result. Also, they had to pay the wait staff more because to attract good help. In the end they went back to tips, because it was cheaper for them.
Rich, arrogant, and unable to read a menu is no way to go through life.
"Get a real job" was already taken
Go to the corner and shake a metal cup. Those are also called tips?
It should remain voluntary.
No-one is going to work for $2.13 an hour, and nobody does.
I bet in states where the gratuity is mandatory the service really stinks.
Just out of curiosity, do you mean stiffed, as in the tip, or stiffed, as in the check?
"So proudly does he wear his 1% badge of honor that he tips exactly 1% every time.."
Well, being an independent lot, we Americans seem to think the whole tipping thing is up to us. It suits 'our' personality.
No one does work for $2.13 an hour .. that's the point, BUT $2.13/hour is what restaurants/bars pay their waiters/waitresses. Customers' tips make up the difference (which can be significant).
Stiffed as in the tip....I only got beat on the whole check once and I called the cops and they found the guy and arrested him.
Who else do you tip?
Do you tip the county clerk when you pay a parkng fine?
Do you tip the mailman?
Do you tip the cop who brought your drunk mom-in-law home? (lol)
You'd rather someone get on the government teat than work as a waiter?
Like I have said "Get a real job" was taken. heh
But they aren't the same sentiment. How many other jobs is one expected to provide high quality service while *praying* that one will make minimum wage?
Why would you argue that getting on the government teat is better than trying to scrape by through hard work (and working in food service is work).
Then they need to look for a job where the employer pays at least minimum wage.
According to you, they don't. They only need to get on the government teat, which would pay them more than a minimum wage job.
Why do you have a higher regard for those on the government teat than those in food service?
I don't. I just don't believe in tipping except when the service was really good. Their employer should pay them, nobody forced them to work for that wage. I also didn't tip the cable guy or Fry's electronics when I bought the laptop.
"IMHO, I'd rather eat at a BBQ joint, run by a guy who's been perfecting his art for the past 20 years (and who likely learned it from his Dad, who learned it from his, and so on) than some Olive Garden or Applebee's. Or a ripoff lookalike of them. And, judging by the local economy, I'm not the only one who thinks that way"
Same here. I love the mom and pop places and abhor the chains. We went to a high end chain last month to use a gift card I had won last summer. The waiter about made me want to puke with his turning the empty chair around at the table and sitting down with us, "How are you doing tonight? Everyone OK? I'm Steve and I'll be serving you tonight" shtick. STFU, bring my drink, take my order, bring the food, check back during the meal and be prompt in all of it. The worst is being interrupted in conversation to ask if we want more water when the glasses are clearly empty.
"I also didnt tip the cable guy "
I did and am still reaping the benefit 12 years later.
As are those who would revengefully adulterate a customers food.
Actually, you did: "If you are being paid $2.13 an hour, get a new job or go on unemployment... your better off on welfare-money wise."
That is not a conservative argument, and it shows a higher regard for those on the government teat than for those in the food service industry.
Thank you for the update.
It is a conservative argument.
If you agree to that wage, then there is no problem.
If you can make more elsewhere, then it is in your interest to go elsewhere.
If you can make more on welfare, then it is absolutely logical and conservative to take that choice too.
I once had dinner at the local Outback and realized at the end of the meal that I had left my wallet at the house. (I allow myself to do that about once every 20 years.)
I explained my predicament to the manager, and said I could go home, get my wallet, and be right back. They let me do it.
In about 25 minutes, when I returned, they were surprised to see me. I infer that when a customer tells them a story like mine, they don't expect to see him again.
Toronto Star agrees that it was a photoshop:
I avoid fern bars as much as possible, Im far more comfortable in a neighborhood bar and grill. Ive seen cases even worse than what you site, when I was in California there were bars where the wait staff had to pay for the privilege of working.
...those people are not earning $2.13 per hour base pay.
"If you can make more on welfare, then it is absolutely logical and conservative to take that choice too."
This is not a conservative argument. This is a liberal argument.
For a conservative, self-sufficiency overrides convenience and ease. I find it very concerning that you are seriously advocating that it is "conservative" to take welfare and deriding those who are choosing a more self-sufficient route.
The conservative argument is to take the most rewarding route
...which would, under no circumstances be "take the government handout".
What you are suggesting is that it's better to be supported by people who are actually working than to take a job which has a base salary lower than minimum wage.
That is not a conservative proposition.

Re: Washington DC HDR's
Thanks man! This actually was taken handheld, so that explains it. Wasn't able to pack a tripod. Fast shutter speeds and bracketing mode helped.
It's noisy for two reasons, the HDR effect I applied uses alot of sharpening/over-contrasting for the dramatic effect, and I cropped it a decent amount.

Book Review: Recently released Minnesota books
I was impressed, as I was last year, by the number of fine books of regional interest being published and I made promises to more than a couple authors and their publishers that I would review their books in the Journal. So here goes:
Painting the Dakota, Seth Eastman at Fort Snelling, by Marybeth Lorbiecki, Afton Historical Society Press.
A West Point graduate, Seth Eastman was a 19th century career army officer, who also happened to be an accomplished painter. In 1830 Eastman was stationed at Fort Snelling, which at the time, was the westernmost outpost in the country. Eastman started sketching the surrounding countryside paying particular attention to the customs and activities of the Dakota and the Ojibwe Indians of the area.
Eastman left Minnesota two years later for other assignments but returned to Fort Snelling in 1841 as Post Commander. By then he also had a reputation as one of America�s best landscape artists.
In Painting the Dakota, Marybeth Lorbiecki tells the engaging story of how Eastman juggled the two unlikely career pursuits of soldiering and painting. Her stories of the daily rhythms of the Dakota - their celebrations and games, their hunting and fishing practices and more - compliment the vivid images of Eastman�s watercolors.
These paintings along with Lorbiecki�s narrative are a powerful testament to an extinct way of life and a part of Minnesota�s history, that sadly, we know too little about.
Minnesota in the Civil War, An Illustrated History, by Kenneth Carley, Minnesota State Historical Press.
On July 2, 1863, a regiment of soldiers from the First Minnesota made a charge against Confederate lines at the Battle of Gettysburg. Author Kenneth Carley describes the men as, "way-worn and foot sore. . . weather-beaten, soil-stained, dirty and ragged from weeks of tramping and camping in heat and in dust, in rain and in mud . . ." Of the 262 Minnesotans who charged on that hot July day, only 47 of them came through unscathed. All told, the First Minnesota casualties amounted to 82 percent of their number killed or wounded.

The Best Creepypasta Stories to Give You Nightmares Forever
This story is completely true. It happened right here on the internet, on a night just like this.
This story is completely true. It happened right here on the internet, on a night just like this.
Today, we remember Francis Bacon mostly for his political and scientific contributions, but the people of Highgate remember him for something else: a scientific urban legend about a food safety experiment that may (or, more likely, may not) have created a ghost chicken.
Teens have settled upon a New Dank Meme, and it's an alliterative, culturally inaccurate demon-summoning ritual. Over two million people used the hashtag #CharlieCharlieChallenge on Twitter in the past two days.
During the darkest days of the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia, a strange rumor arose in the capital city; the mysterious Pérák ("Springer" or "Spring-man") was said to be haunting the alleys and rooftops of Prague.
Well, maybe it's better to say The Blob was based on a "true" story. No one got sucked into a garbage disposal like in the horror movie classic, but reportedly one policeman's hands got sticky and that's equally horrifying.
There is a legend in the mathematics community that centers around Henri Poincaré, the famous mathematician, meting out sweet, sweet justice to a dishonest baker. Perhaps it is untrue, but when you read about it, you'll wish it were.
Today medical journals rarely intentionally publish jokes. How pleasant that in the 1800s they took a more enlightened attitude towards merriment. Sure, it led to a brief period when the public was sure women could get pregnant via bullet, but think of the laughs.
Did you hear the legend that blonds will die out in just a couple hundred years? I did. It turns out that everyone has — because the legend has been around for a couple hundred years. Here's why blonds have spent centuries on the endangered species list.
We know that red mercury makes the manufacturing of nuclear bombs much, much easier. We don't exactly know how it manages to do this, but that's only because red mercury, as far as we know, doesn't exist.
Many people have heard the old metaphor about the frog; if you put one in boiling water it will hop out, but if you gradually increase the temperature of the water it will let itself be boiled. It's meant to warn us about slowly developing dangers in addition to obvious ones.
While Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, and the Mothman might get most of the attention on land, there are plenty of cryptozoological myths surrounding the US's lakes, rivers, and swamps as well. Atlas Obscura has mapped out the Loch Ness-type monsters, webbed hominids, and giant killer sea creatures that, according to…
Mutant alligators slithering through the New York sewers are one of the colorful legends of the city. What got the legend started? And why does one version of it contain pot?
You're a pediatrician dealing with a newborn baby, a busy schedule, and some very worried parents who want to know why their baby didn't get a perfect score on a neonate health test. What do you do? You make up an urban legend about the Apgar Test.
Isaac Newton accomplished some very important things in his life. He came up with a modern version of calculus (although not the modern notation). He described and explained a little thing called gravity. But he also is said to have invented a very useful thing for cats, in a very stupid way.
Ever hear someone tell a tale about an elderly man who used LSD in his youth going on a fish trip, only to randomly have an LSD-linked flashback and die via drowning? Scary, eh? I remember this urban legend particularly well, thanks to an unusually creepy elementary school assembly about drug awareness.
The Star Wars films have become such cultural touchstones that even the most arcane background minutiae are subjected to intense fan scrutiny.
From 1978 to 1996, the Action Park of Vernon Township, New Jersey provided thousands of teenagers with the white-knuckle thrills only inattentive employees and poorly conceived amusement park rides can deliver. The Park's dubiously safe rides were responsible for countless scrapes and bruises and at least six…
Necrotizing fasciitis-infected bananas have been the boogeyman of potassium lovers and people who enjoy checking their email unmolested by chain letters for over a decade. Now, rumors of flesh-eating bananas are resurging in Mozambique, where an email hoax is bedeviling plantain superfans. The email's spurious medical…
There is a "fact" going around the internet that a person is more likely to be killed by a champagne cork than a poisonous spider. But can a champagne cork really murder a human being?
Over the course of August, Sri Lanka's countryside has been whipped into a mass hysteria by an urban legend known as "the grease devil." Rumors of these supernatural prowlers have rural townspeople attacking suspected grease devils, and people are dying as a result.

Rumours emerging that German rider is linked to Ducati thanks to their German owners
A RUMOUR from a reputable Italian journalist on Facebook suggest that Ducati has an Audi-influenced eye on picking up Stefan Bradl for the 2014 season, as reported by GP-Inside.com.
The MotoGP rookie has been impressive in his debut in the premier class with a string of top ten finishes, including a best of fifth in the French GP at Le Mans. Bradl already has a contract in place with the LCR team for the 2013 season, but his finishes have put him in the minds of many as a possibility for the vacated seat at Repsol Honda.
However, there are mutterings in the paddock that following Audi's acquisition of Ducati, the German car giant are pushing the Italian manufacturer behind the scenes to get the German rider on a Desmosedici in 2014.

Why Should We Give? (2 of 2) by Ken Trivette
This content is part of a series.Why Should We Give? (2 of 2)
Ken Trivette
Malachi 3:8-10, I Cor. 16:1
1. During an examination, a rookie police officer was asked what strategy he would use to disperse a threatening crowd. His answer: ''I would take up a collection.''
2. I know that many would rather hear a sermon on any subject but money and giving. That is because a lot of people willing to give God credit, but more are reluctant to give Him cash.
3. I think of a story that Flip Wilson told. A preacher was trying to get his people to be more enthusiastic about their church. The preacher said in his sermon: ''If this church is going to get anywhere, it has to learn to crawl.'' The people said, ''Let it crawl, Rev., let it crawl!'' Then he said, ''And after it learns to crawl, it has to learn to walk.'' And the people said, ''Let it walk, Rev., let it walk!'' The preacher got excited and said, ''After this church learns to walk, it has to learn to run!'' The people shouted back, ''Let it run, Rev., let it run!'' Then he said, ''And if this church is going to run, it's going to take money!'' And the people said, ''Let it crawl, Rev., let it crawl.''
4. Sadly, that is the attitude of many when it comes to their money and giving to the Lord.
5. In this study we want to consider ''Why We Should Give.'' Why is it that you should give a minimum of 10% of your hard earned money? Let's look into God's Word and consider 4 reasons why we should give what God has asked us to give.
1. We read in Malachi 3:10, ''Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse.'' Also we read in I Corinthians 16:1, ''Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the Churches of Galatia, even so do ye.''
2. The first reason we ought to give is that it is right to give and wrong not to give. Giving is something that has been commanded by God and ordered for the Churches.
3. When one gives as God has directed they are simply being an obedient Christian. When one fails to give as God directed they are being a disobedient Christian.
4. God told Israel in Deuteronomy 12:6, ''And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks.''
5. There was an amount, there was a time, and there was a place in which the children of Israel were commanded to bring their tithe and offerings. The same is true of us. There is an amount, a time, and a place that we are bring our tithe and offering. Again tithing is an act of obedience.
6. Malachi makes it very clear that God is serious about obeying this matter. In verse 8 God asked the question, ''Will a man rob God?'' God views our like of tithing as spiritual robbery.
7. I remind you of a couple of statistics I gave you in our last study. U.S. News and World Report stated that the age group of 65-74 gave the highest percentage o ...

Calcium ascorbate is a buffered form of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and a source of the essential mineral, calcium. Ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant which supports the immune system and the production of collagen. Calcium carbonate supplies calcium, the most abundant mineral in the human body and a vital component of healthy metabolic function.In the body, calcium acts as a cell signalling messenger and serves many functions in neurological processes. In addition, calcium is a component of many structural proteins such as bone and cartilage.Ascorbic acid functions as both a coenzyme and cofactor. The body requires ascorbic acid to synthesize L- carnitine, which is vital in the transport of energy to mitochondria, and to produce dopamine in the nervous system and adrenal glands. Ascorbic acid is required for collagen synthesis and plays a structural role in bone, cartilage and teeth. Ascorbic acid, together as sodium, potassium, and calcium salts, are typically used as antioxidant food additives.Supplementation of calcium with ascorbic acid may help support healthy connective tissue and bone structure

My research focuses in two main areas – how osteoblast (the bone-forming cell) gene expression and differentiation and bone formation are regulated by PTH and other factors, and, more recently, how osteoclast (the bone-resorbing cell) differentiation and bone resorption are modulated at the molecular level under physiological and pathological conditions.
By working on these projects, I have also maintained a focus on medical issues involving bone - osteoporosis and metastatic osteolytic lesions and fracture healing. Information obtained from these studies will enhance our understanding of these pathological processes.

For everybody who gets Lake Michigan water...
So, we heard that our tap water will be treated with extra chlorine for a while due to sewage getting swept into Lake Michigan this week. Will the usual dosages of Prime continue to work for the aquariums (according to the directions), or does it need to be increased? Anything else that should be done?
I've read that too. I usually age my water a day or two before a wc, that helps most of the Chlorine evaporate. Then use Prime at the reccomended doses to remove the Chloromine. It does not hurt to use a couple more ml.
+1 to what devilduck said, a little extra never hurts, and it may not even be needed.
