Such draconian diets can lack essential nutrients, and they make the vitamins and minerals a person does get from meals of exclusively, say, leafy greens, impossible for the body to absorb. This can lead to fragile bones, hormonal shifts, and cardiac problems, along with psychological distress and entrenched, delusional thinking.(1)

The rough draft for the second half of Luxury of Failure is too goddamn long and has too many words AHGGHH nearly done and final draft is already a thousand words in. Proposed upload is in two weeks, max.
It's also a chapter in which you already know the ending. In fact, you already know the ending to many chapters, due to the nature of the fanfiction Silver Standard is. At least half of the story takes place during canon, but from a different lens. The borders are strict and confined; there's only so far one can go before it trips into straight up AU territory.
Nothing wrong with that in itself; plenty of media's built on that concept, especially villain/protagonist turnarounds. Of course, a good number of those stories also move the goalposts to cast villains in a woobiful light and the former heroes as pompous, hypocritical bastards all along. Also, the villain gets to win through a loophole somehow because it'd be a right bummer if our protagonist was doomed to fail. (Looking at you, Maleficent.)
This, I do not do and thus, as soon as the reader realizes what episode they're in, they know Silver Spoon is (probably) doomed to fail.
When I mention this to people who aren't my readers, I receive incredulous looks. Why would I write a story everyone already knows and has seen the end to? And an ending where the protagonist fails? All the time?
And every time I explain that it's really not as bad as it sounds. Aside from the appeal of seeing another side to a story, narratives benefit from the protagonist's struggle. In addition to a number of internal factors, the CMC's barrage of wins give Silver Spoon something to fight against. She gets knocked down, but she gets up again you're never gonna keep her down, even if Diamond Tiara has to drag her up. There's no satisfaction in an automatic win; characters need to fight for---and, more importantly--deserve their victories.
More to the point, however, the conclusion to the episode centric chapters simply aren't the focus. It's not a plot driven story.
The question isn't "will Silver carry the flag at the Games?" The question is "Why did she attack Scootaloo?" "Why did she fail?" "How does she feel about it?" "What are the consequences of this action?"
Often, I'll write a scene that takes place right before or after something we've already seen in canon. After all, the reader has already seen the episode, so it's usually not necessary.
If I do transcribe part of an episode, it must A) be absolutely necessary to see and B) justify the reader's attention and time. That means Silver's inner monologue takes precedence over canon-dialogue, and sometimes I'll have her attention fade in and out of whatever's happening as she plots/sulks/plans/fusses/snarks about what's going on without deviating from the scene too much. It's a hell of a tightrope walk and I don't even know if I succeed in those scenes half the time.
Without a doubt, those scenes are the hardest part of this story and feels like pulling teeth every goddamn time. If it was just a matter of transcribing dialogue it'd be easy, but it's not. It's body language and tone and music cues that now have to be narrative and how the hell do you even work with song cues (are the numbers even in-universe?) and matching the pov narration with action and at the same time making the prose provocative enough to keep the reader's attention.
It's also something I highly suggest all fanfiction writers do, especially if they're aiming for the similar feel to the show, or learning how to write a canon character. Not for publication, just for practice.
...Which means I need to translate a Pinkie Pie scene in a couple weeks. *reluctant horse noises*

Sunburn doesn't have so much to do with temperature, as it does the angle of the sun.
A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the coast of Ecuador on Saturday evening.
The Tri-Cities has been home for Dave for more than 25 years. For more than two decades, he has been honing his skills on what he deems "a very challenging" part of the country to forecast the weather.
David grew up in east Tennessee and has always had a love for weather.

Well I just wanted to say, I had one of the best experience of business at Elite Auto Spa. I called to check information on window tinting and I spoke with the owner, "Anthony". He was very informative about the window tinting, the different types that I would be able to get and the warranty information. I have a Mercedes C300 and Mr. Anthony stated it was no problem. So I waited on my vehicle and before I knew it it was ready. It came out great, and they even washed my car. It didn't see any discrepancies that I could see, and Mr. Anthony stated if I had any problems to bring it right back and they would take care of it. I would recommend this place of business.

Featured Golf Course Review:
|Mullenhurst Golf Course -- Nice inexpensive course
|Review by: Willy Longball
|This is a nice course for the price. The course conditions are generally very good. Course layout is interesting, with enough traps and water hazards to keep it interesting. It can be crowded on weekend mornings, and the staff do not seem to honor tee times. So, you can get stuck behind a glut of walk-ons.

I am just about to tuck into Mr Grigg's special sausages, with mash and Pelly's homemade chilli jam. Mr Grigg has returned, triumphantly, from a day's course at the wonderful Magdalen Project, bringing home not the bacon but two large containers of sausages and a huge pate.
There were just three students and the tutor, lots of huffing and stuffing, and crude remarks about 60ft long condoms.
Mr Grigg's partner for the day, a 70+ man called Les with a colonel's white moustache, got into trouble with the mincer end of the sausage making machine. Mr Grigg waited anxiously at the other end, ready to catch the sausage meat in an awesome length of skin. But the more Les stuffed, the more he huffed. A quick check by the tutor revealed the attachment was on the wrong way round and Les had been sucking rather than blowing. Oo-er missus.
It was like a scene from a Carry On film. Just up Mr Grigg's street. He has been a bit stressed lately, with lots of work, lots of travelling and other things on his mind. The sausage making course was my Christmas present to him. And it did the trick. No stress. And plenty of sausages.
Yum, yum.
That's about it

Dell joins A4WP to help develop wireless charging for ultrabooks and 2-in1 PCs
The Alliance for Wireless Power wants to liberate users from wired chargers
US COMPUTER MAKER Dell has become the first major PC OEM to join the Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP) group, joining over 80 existing members Broadcom, Gill Electronics, IDT, Intel, Qualcomm and Samsung.
Dell's membership means it could soon be developing mobile devices that do not require a wired power adapter to charge.
The A4WP aims to standardise wireless power transfer using near-field magnetic resonance technology called "rezence", which seeks to liberate mobile devices from wired chargers, charging multiple devices simultaneously without the need to dock the devices.
"Power levels and charging speed will meet the expectations of today's 'always on, always connected' user," the A4WP said. "Users can simply 'drop and go' their devices onto a charging surface without the hassle of accurate positioning or alignment."
Along with the news that Dell will jump on board to unshackle users from the curse of wired chargers, A4WP is also introducing a secondary, higher-powered project focusing on wirelessly charging electronic products from 20 to 50 watts, like ultrabooks, laptops, and mid-powered appliances.
"Dell's addition to the Alliance signifies the importance of defining a wireless power standard that spans these higher power levels thus expanding the range of electronics beyond smartphones," the group added.
A4WP said it believes the development of magnetic resonance technology will improve the customer experience when it comes to charging and will bring the capability into more homes and businesses over the next few years.
It also said that its development of wireless charging technology will help benefit both industry and consumers as the specification powers broadly adopted wireless technologies such as Bluetooth Smart, "which simplifies development and manufacturing". µ

Robin Henry reports for the Times:
A massive earthquake on the coast of Chile has killed at least 76 people, flattening buildings and triggering a tsunami.
The 8.8-magnitude quake, the country's largest in 25 years, shook the capital Santiago for a minute and half at 3:34am (0634 GMT) today.
A tsunami warning has been extended across all Pacific islands and the Pacific rim, including most of Central and South America and as far as Australia and Antarctica.
The wave has already caused serious damage to the sparsely populated Juan Fernandez islands, off the Santiago coast, local radio reported. The quake hit near the town of Maule, 200 miles southwest of Santiago, at a depth of 22 miles underground.
The epicentre was just 70 miles from Concepcion, Chile's second-largest city, where more than 200,000 people live along the Bio Bio river. In Santiago buildings collapsed and phone lines and electricity were brought down, but the full extent of the damage is still being determined…

Crockett Park
Primary tabs
Course Details
Course Reviews
Lack of concrete pads and maintenance of those carpet tees are the only things holding this well designed course from being a great course. Local parks admin may be the reason for permanent pads.
Very busy park, with little to no travel distance between holes to prevent bottlenecking. First 5 holes are in the open park area. Wind is always in play and tee/basket locations are on top of each other in several locations--so crossfire is common. Patrons to the park are not as chill as in other parks--no real regard for players with faster pace, litter is common and trash cans are few and far between.
This is a great course, I like the up, down, and all around. You get to stretch out along with shooting carefully for that ace on a short downhill shot. It plays through open and skinny fairways, all really challenging for advanced players along with an easiness for the kids to play too. My only down on this one is that the park doesn't allow the concrete pads...yet..
Beautiful course with lots of variety. Cozy wooded holes mixed with large expansive ones make this course a pleasure to walk. There are a few holes that take advantage of all the hilly open space of long-distance power lines. Well kept grass was a little long, wooded areas are often cleared out inside with neat walking areas. The only negatives were the signage, which is dated and not very clear at all, and we couldn't find the 12th basket. Looked for about 5 minutes. The people playing in front of us and behind us couldn't find it either.
Otherwise, a great disc golf experience!
Great mix of Cedar Hills and Sanders Ferry Park. This is what Sanders Ferry will play when the Pro/Am pads are installed.
Great course that will test your skills. Easily the 2nd best course in the Nashville Area for mix of Open and Wooded Shots.

Blog: (Don't) Blame it on the weatherman
Olly Wehring | 17 August 2007
It's a very British obsession, I know, but the weather really has been at the forefront of the minds of almost all of us over here of late. Indeed, across Western Europe in general, the lousy June and July have even been making headlines.
Here at just-drinks, we're no exception. As the first half - and second quarter – results come pouring in, the excuses are coming thick and fast when performance hasn't been as good as expected. And the most popular excuse? You guessed it – the sun hasn't had his hat on.
Scottish & Newcastle was a class example of this last week, when it warned that the poor weather so far this summer had led to its Western European markets of the UK and France experiencing "significant difficulties in two of our three key summer trading months".
There is probably further bad news on the horizon for the beer group, as July's floods have coincided with the arrival of the smoking ban in the UK to further dent growth in the second half.
I remember a few years ago, discussing the effect of the weather on drinks companies with a rather verbose analyst. He dismissed the use of a bit of rain as an excuse – and he was rather persuasive.
"Certainly, people drink more of certain beverages when its hot outside," he said, "but if you're operating in markets where it's not always hot outside, then how can you expect growth year in, year out?"
Not only that, he said, but a balanced portfolio should allow drinks companies to sell different products to consumers whatever the weather. "It's just not a viable excuse anymore."
S&N is not the first group to fall foul of the weather this year in Western Europe – look at poor old C&C – and it will not be the last either. But there is little doubt that for drinks groups with serious international aspirations he has a point. Businesses of this size hedge against almost everything else – should we not be looking to ways to mitigate bad weather?
What do you think? I'd welcome your thoughts in our forums section – because he almost convinced me.

Relevant offers
With Sime Darby adding Citroen to its car stable in New Zealand this month, to sit alongside the Peugeot PSA sibling it has handled for some years, a sexy new product would be just the thing to re-focus attention to the twin-chevron badge here.
Just announced in Britain is the rag-top version of the pretty and popular DS3 hatchback, which was launched three years ago and has been in New Zealand since 2011.
The DS3 Cabrio model was originally presented at the 2012 Paris Motor Show in October, and the significance of the early launch of the British version of the car is that it will be right hand drive.
In Britain, the DS3 Cabrio is offered in three types, each with a different engine, priced from around NZ$35,000 to NZ$45,000 in the ''old country'' though it's likely that any versions offered in New Zealand will be in high specification form and with shipping charges, somewhat more expensive than that.
Like the Fiat 500 rag-top the DS3 Cabrio isn't a proper convertible, but it does mean that its electrically operated canvas top can be fully opened or closed at speeds of up to 121kmh to three positions - ''intermediate'', ''horizontal'' and ''total'', in 16 seconds. The Brits, of course, would love this, being able to enjoy fleeting exposure to sunshine without having to stop.
There are three UK petrol engine options, the 60kW VTi, an 87kW VTi and the turbocharged 113kW THP, the two first linked to five-speed manuals and latter to a 6-speeder. It has to be said that an auto will be needed here and we doubt that the least powerful car would be considered.
Citroen says the DS3 Cabrio's market is dominated by female buyers and its customer profile will largely reflect existing demand with owners typically aged 35-plus with a strong female bias. The French carmaker added that it is also targeting "older buyers who are 'young at heart' with older, more independent children at home". This group abounds in New Zealand, so how about it Sime Darby? You know you want to.

SCRANTON - A sheriff's sale of city Councilman Jack Loscombe's home scheduled for Tuesday has been delayed until June 11, according to a court order entered Friday.
Lackawanna County Judge Vito Geroulo granted Mr. Loscombe's motion for a continuance until the next sheriff's sale, because he is attempting to obtain a loan modification through a county residential mortgage foreclosure diversion program, according to the order.
The proceedings stem from a lawsuit filed last year by the mortgage holder, Bank of America, against Mr. Loscombe and his wife, Susan, owners of the home on Parallel Drive in the West Mountain section, according to a public notice.
Efforts to reach Mr. Los-combe were unsuccessful.

Marcus Mariota's 6 TDs power perfect Oregon past Cal
BERKELEY, Calif. -- In a blink of an eye, Marcus Mariota and Oregon turned a tight game into another blowout that could have the Ducks (No. 3 BCS, No. 2 AP) in position to move into the top spot in the country.
Mariota threw the third of his school record-tying six touchdown passes on the first play after an interception to break open what had been a close game and help Oregon make its case for the top ranking in the country by beating California 59-17 on Saturday night.
While the final score was lopsided, the game was tight until midway through the third quarter when Boseko Lokombo intercepted a screen pass from Allan Bridgford. Mariota threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Josh Huff on the next play to give the Ducks (10-0, 7-0 Pac-12) a 31-17 lead.
"That kind of got things going again," Mariota said. "It flipped the momentum. It's really a momentum game. That helped us out."
The Ducks withstood injuries to its entire starting defensive line and brief absences by Mariota and star running back Kenjon Barner to extend the longest active winning streak in major college football to 13 games.
The win over California (3-8, 2-6) could be enough to move Oregon up to No. 1 after top-ranked Alabama lost earlier in the day 29-23 to No. 15 Texas A&M. Even more importantly, the Crimson Tide loss cleared one potential rival for a spot in the BCS title game, leaving Notre Dame and Kansas State as the only other major undefeated teams eligible for a bowl. The Ducks are currently third in the BCS rankings.
"That's what's so good about this team," Huff said. "We don't pay attention to the rankings and what's around us. We just play Oregon football. We'll pick our heads up in December and we'll see where we're at."
After struggling for more than a half against a Golden Bears team that was missing quarterback Zach Maynard and star receiver Keenan Allen, the Ducks will have to be more consistent the next few weeks if they want to remain unbeaten. They finish the regular season against Stanford (No. 14 BCS, No. 16 AP) and Oregon State (No. 11 BCS, No. 13 AP) and also could be in the Pac-12 title game.
Oregon raced past the Bears with their passing game instead of the vaunted running attack that had rushed for at least 400 yards in the previous three games. Cal held Barner to 65 yards on 20 carries -- 256 fewer yards than he had last week against USC -- and even knocked him out briefly with a hard hit that sent him to the locker room in the first half.
"They did a good job of filling the box," Mariota said. "That gave us and the passing game more opportunity to do what we can do. That's the kind of thing that happens when you have such a good running back like Kenjon. Guys fill the box to stop him."
Mariota also left the game after a hard fall late in the second quarter but returned the following series. He then helped the Ducks break the game open in the second half with four TD passes, including two to Huff.
Mariota completed 27 of 34 passes for a career-high 377 yards and tied the school TD record last achieved by Darron Thomas last year against Nevada. Huff finished with five catches for 109 yards and three scores as the Ducks set a major college football record by scoring at least 40 points for a 13th straight game.
"You have to pick your poison really with them," Cal coach Jeff Tedford said. "If you're going to get up in there and try to stop the run, then the play-action, you're covering really fast guys running down the field."
The biggest moment came midway through the third quarter after the Bears cut Oregon's lead to 24-17 and got a stop on defense to fire up a crowd that has had little to cheer about this season.
Isi Sofele, who rushed for 134 yards, had been gashing Oregon's defense in the second half and started this drive with a 14-yard run. But Cal went away from him and Bridgford threw the interception under heavy pressure from Arik Armstead that turned the tides as Oregon scored the final 35 points.
"From then on it just stockpiled," safety Brian Jackson said. "It was very important to that game."
That ended the Bears chances in the final home game of the season and perhaps final home game for Tedford at Cal. There have been questions raised about Tedford's status after missing a bowl for the second time in three years. The Bears have lost four straight for the first time ever under Tedford.
Bridgford finished 9 for 21 for 113 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
"We felt like at halftime we were going to win the game," Bridgford said. "The second half they pulled away a little bit, but we had our chances. We beat ourselves."
Mariota left the game holding his left arm in the second quarter but returned after Vincenzo D'Amato missed a 48-yard field goal late in the half for Cal. Mariota drove the Ducks 69 yards, capped by a 10-yard pass to Huff that made it 24-10 at the half.
