This guitar is no longer for sale (sold on 2009-02-03)
Price : US $258.01
A versatile, affordable rocker's weapon.
This Ibanez RG4EXFM1 Electric Guitar's pickups and pickup placement give you the hard-edged cutting tone you want for heavy rock. With a bridge humbucker pickup, middle single coil, and neck humbucker, you'll never run out of tone options.
As heavy as it rocks, this Ibanez RG guitar is made of basswood, a comparatively lightweight wood, which makes it very comfortable for extended playing. With a good balance of highs and lows, basswood sits right between alder and mahogany in sound character. The RG guitar's flamed maple top not only adds beauty, but just a bit of extra brightness to make individual notes stand out. 24 frets offer easy playing for leads and chording and the Ibanez RG4EXFM1 has a tremolo bridge that lets you dive-bomb all night long. A locking nut helps keep you in tune.
Since 1987, many players have selected the Ibanez RG as their weapon of choice for visiting sonic mayhem on the metal masses. With the right choice of pickups and flat, fast necks, the Ibanez RG4EXFM1 guitar crunches its way to classic status.

On today's episode of The Chasing Joy Podcast we talk about the beautiful, challenging, messy road to eating disorder recovery with my guest Marina Di Loreto.
Today's episode of the Chasing Joy Podcast was a true pleasure to record. I talk with my guest Marina Di Loreto about what it's like to recover from orthorexia. Orthorexia is an obsession with eating healthy foods and it's closely related with anorexia. Both are very serious disorders that take years, hard work and true determination to over come.
There are so many stigmas and misconceptions around eating disorders and recovery. We dive into this honest conversation with open minds and hearts. Marina shares her story with so much grace and wisdom. She shares some of the darkest "bottom" points and how she knew it was time to seek professional help.
Recovering can be a lonely challenging path filled with lots of moving backwards before you move forward. Marina shares how this past year was a big step back as she found herself trapped in a diet program that turned off her food intuition.
She shares how she regained her own personal power and is saying goodbye to dieting mentality for good. This is such a powerful episode for anyone who's fallen down and had the courage to get back up. I hope this one resonates with you.
We talk about
- Body image as a dancer
- How the mirror can distort your body image & the benefits of living without one in recovery
- Marina's eating disorder story
- When she knew she needed to ask for help & who she went to
- Why recovery is not a linear journey
- The steps Marina took to recover from her eating disorder
- The surprising habit Marina quit and why it was important
- Is there ever a benefit to calorie counting?
- Wellness practices that help with recovery setbacks
- What it's like to be stuck in pseudo recovery
- What it's like to get stuck in the diet industry trap
- Why diets numb your intuition
This Episode is Perfect for Anyone
- Who is currently recovering or has recovered from an eating disorder
- Who is struggling right now with disordered eating
- Curious about balancing work, life, and recovery while in school
- Wants to learn more about how the diet industry is designed to make you "fail"
- Needs a little hope/inspiration on their path to self love, intuitive eating and body acceptance

If you've spent a lot of time on the internet, particularly social media sites and Buzzfeed articles, you may be familiar with the cat beard trend.
For Catherine Miller, her introduction to cat bearding came at a pivotal moment in her life.
Something about the silly internet images stuck. Miller spent hours looking through people's pictures with their cats (and dogs), finding the funniest ones.
"I laughed so hard, my face hurt, my stomach hurt," she said. "And then I started drawing them."
Miller, a 29-year-old artist born and raised in Portland, has been an artist all her life. As a child, she immersed herself in the colorful world of crayons ("not just the crayon itself, but the wrapper, too") and was never without a coloring book. Her schooling was all in art and she has curated a number of exhibits throughout Portland in a variety of media — paints, sculpture, watercolor, sketching. She'll work in whatever medium feels best suited to a piece, she said, but "if I'm wanting to feel relaxed or feel at home, it's always with a brush."
Her art has largely included the same theme. Miller is visually impaired (she's legally blind), and is in fact the first visually-impaired artist to graduate from the Pacific Northwest College of Arts. Since graduation, she has used her work to point out how the fine arts can often fail to cater to disabled patrons, and worked to make the fine arts world more inclusive. In 2011, she curated an exhibit called 'A Somewhat Secret Place,' meant to highlight art created by and for those with disabilities.
She's been obsessively drawing cat memes from the internet since last June.
"Lately I've switched from just cat beards to internet-famous felines, so I've been working on hipster kitty and dubstep kitty a lot this week," she said. "It's great. I find that I really connect with people that way."
She sees an important intersection between technology, communication and, of course, cats. And that intersection is with art.
"The job of an artist, really, is to point the gaze of society at something," she said. "That's why I've been drawing these images. That is, I'm not saying it's great or it's not great. It is. This is. And perhaps more important than you were thinking."

B&O PLAY is set to release its BeoPlay A9 as an all-black sound system. The BeoPlay A9 was hugely popular in white, but now people can attain an even more dramatic-looking speaker on April 11th.
The BeoPlay A9 speakers are modernly shaped to look like a piece of furniture and this black version is bound to fit into any living space. The satellite-shaped speaker is made up of black back coating, a black aluminium speaker ring and dark brown walnut legs.
As if the design was not already sophisticated enough, the music it boasts is of equally high quality. It can stream music through both AirPlay (iOS) and DLNA (Android) devices. Even if you feel like it is too big for your living rooms, or it's getting in the way of your dancing space, it can easily be mounted to the wall.

Title: Athena's Promise (Book One of the Aegean Trilogy)
Author: Annetta Ribkin
Publisher: Word Webber Press
Length: 306 Pages
Release Date: October 26, 2011
Format: Given by Author
Length: 306 Pages
Release Date: October 26, 2011
Format: Given by Author
As the front desk manager of a hotel on the edge of Zombietown, Pallas is used to dealing with angry centaurs, surly trolls, and zombie housekeepers. The trouble really starts when one of her guests ends up dead and that's not the only problem.
From the beginning of the novel we are introduced to the novels protagonist, Pallas, a human mortal (possibly in her twenties, although I don't remember if the novel ever reveals her age) who manages a hotel that is on the brink of shutting its doors for good. Pallas has a lot on her plate from managing the staff made up of zombies, vampires, and pixies to dealing with unsatisfied guests to reporting back to the woman behind the hotel-Medusa herself. I LOVED this part of the book. Apparently there was this event in life called "The Crossing" that caused all of these worlds to collide. I really would have liked to know more about this event in the book, but I imagine the author goes into more details with the other two books in the trilogy. Ribken introduces us to so many "critters" in this world and brings forth new mythologies for some of them, which I really thought was creative and something your average fantasy reader wouldn't expect. For instance, zombies aren't zombies at first, they are given a certain amount of time before they "turn" and when they do-it is ugly. We meet suave, sexy Centaurs, diva singing mermaids, and money loving gnomes.
My favorite character that Pallas must deal with is her boss, Medusa. In Greek mythology, Medusa is one of the most hideous monsters with slithering snakes as her hair, and could turn anyone to stone if you looked at her. Her character is a lot of fun in the book as the hotel owner. She only stays in her office and watches the cameras throughout her hotel acting as a sort of game master. Only a handful of people are allowed to enter her office to talk to her, so she is very secretive. Medusa is very stylized and very descriptive with her snakes hissing whenever she is in a mood and her cool demure by smoking black cigarettes (which she stubs out regularly). I loved her relationship with Pallas and hope this builds more throughout the trilogy.
The novels protagonist, Pallas, is a very interesting character because I'm not sure if I really cared for her. We see her struggle throughout the whole novel wonderfully, but that's all I feel I knew about her. Of course she's smart, responsible, strong, powerful, and we can relate to her whenever she's dealing with really incompetent people. However, I felt she just kept rolling her eyes throughout the whole novel and that was a big problem for me. It would have been nice to see her loosen up a bit and be a little happy about more things. Granted that with her back ground story (which we learn later in the novel and it is excellent!) and everything the character goes through, we can certainly understand where she comes from, but a lot of the times she just seemed unpleasant. I wanted to like her more because she is such a strong person, but I never felt that connection. I cared for her some, I certainly didn't want her to meet her maker in one of the books great climactic scenes featuring creepy spiders, but I wanted more from her. Maybe this was because I felt she seemed a little immature mostly in part to her language. I'm not a prude about curse words or foul language, but I often feel it dumbs down strong characters. Plus, I was really put off by her use of the word "fucktard" and "fucktardery". Kids might use these words these days, but I really don't feel as though this woman would use them. Are they even words?
Overall, it was a great, inventive, imaginative tale that had a lot of wonderful elements. These elements include nice action scenes, a great sense of mystery, and a story arch that really explains the world these people live. I was a little thrown off by the attitude of our lead because I felt she deserved more. Hopefully when I read the other two books in the trilogy, Pallas will become the woman I see her and she will get her happy ending.

Are there costs or penalties?
Yes. The Treasury Solicitor, whose costs are normally met by the claimant(s), will represent the Registrar. In addition the company must normally pay any statutory penalties for late filing of accounts delivered to the Registrar outside the period allowed by the Companies Act 2006. The penalties that may be due are:
- Unpaid penalties outstanding on accounts delivered late before the company was dissolved; and
- Penalties due for accounts delivered on restoration, if these accounts were overdue at the date the company was dissolved.
The level of any late filing penalty depends on how late the accounts are when the Registrar receives them.
In the case of accounts delivered on restoration, the period during which the company was dissolved is disregarded.
|Length of delay (measured from
date the accounts are due)
| Penalty:
Private company
Public company
|Not more than 1 month
|More than 1 month but not more than 3 months
|More than 3 months but not more than 6 months
|More than 6 months
For example a private company's set of acceptable accounts for the accounting period ending 30 September 2009 would need to be delivered by 30 June 2010 to avoid a late filing penalty. If they were not delivered to Companies House until 15 July 2010 the company will incur a late filing penalty of £150.
The penalties will be doubled if a company files its accounts late in two successive financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2008. So, if a private company has an accounting reference date of 30 September and the accounts for the period ending 30 September 2009 were delivered up to one month late, and the accounts for the period ending 30 September 2010 were delivered up to one month late, then there would be a £300 late filing penalty in respect of the 2010 accounts.

Leasing of cars has become popular over the years because it allows you to drive a new car after a fixed period with low monthly payments. In addition to that, you do not have to worry about the resale value of the car. With this arrangement, individuals pay a fixed monthly payment for a specified period and miles covered. After the term, individuals can choose to buy the car or hand it in. Leasing can offer attractive advantages as compared to buying, and this article shows some of the benefits of car leasing.
Lower Monthly Payments
When leasing a car, you only pay for a portion of the value of the car. Therefore, the monthly fee will be between 30-60% lower than the loan you would have paid for the car. There is no extra cost incurred at the end of the month for investment in ownership equity.
No Down Payment
This system provides the option of not making a down payment. All you need to do is to pay for the first month and add the official tag and registration fee. That is the case for most car dealers. However, some promotional dealers require a down payment to seal the deal, but they are not common.
Lower Tax Bites
In most states, you will not be required to pay sales tax on the entire value of the car. That only happens when you make a purchase. You will only be taxed the portion of the value of the car that you leased for. What happens is that the tax will be spread out and you will pay it as you make the monthly payments. That way, you will not have the burden of paying the entire amount at a go.
No Used Cars Hassles
With leasing a car, the headache of selling the car once you are tired of it is eliminated. You will use the car and return it to the leasing company. If you want to buy it, you have that option as well as trading it in. Most people get frustrated when they want to sell their cars, but the value has gone down significantly, yet they can't afford a new one. Leasing of cars eliminates such issues.
GAP Cover Included
Car leases have a free GAP protection whereby if the vehicle is stolen or involved in an accident, it pays off the vehicle in case your insurance company does not cover for the full loss.

Every time I tweak my vegan cupcake recipe I think it's my best one ever, so there have been quite few declarations of "No, this is definitely my final cupcake recipe!" throughout the past few months. However, I feel quite confident saying that this chocolate cupcake recipe is now my go-to one, and I finally feel like it doesn't need any further changes. It originally came about as a modified version of my mini three tier cherry chocolate cake recipe, and I've used it to make many a birthday cupcake since, so I thought it was about time it appeared on the blog. The addition of vanilla icing and vegan honeycomb pieces make these chocolate honeycomb cupcakes an extremely indulgent and tasty treat!
For the honeycomb:
50g of caster sugar
2 tablespoons of golden syrup
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
For the chocolate cupcakes:
6 tablespoons of aquafaba*
100g of caster sugar
150g of self raising flour
25g of cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
2 tablespoons of soy milk
50g of chocolate chips
For the icing:
60g of vegetable shortening
60g of vegan butter
240g of icing sugar
2 tablespoons of soy milk
*Aquafaba is the liquid from a can of chickpeas.
Makes: 8 chocolate honeycomb cupcakes
1. Start by making the honeycomb. Place the caster sugar and golden syrup into a small saucepan. Mix to combine and then leave to heat up. Do not continue to stir the mixture. Once it has started simmering, leave for a further three minutes. Whisk in the bicarbonate of soda and immediately pour into a lined baking tray. Leave to one side to cool and then smash into pieces with a rolling pin (placing it in the freezer for 5 minutes can make it easier to smash).
2. To make the chocolate cupcakes, start by beating together the aquafaba and caster sugar. Stir in the sunflower oil and soy milk. In another bowl, mix together the self raising flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
3. Spoon the mixture into cupcake cases. Each case should be around half full. Place in a preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes at 175 degrees celcius. Once done, leave to cool before icing.
4. Once the cupcakes have cooled, make a start on the icing. Add the vegetable shortening, vegan butter, icing sugar and soy milk to a bowl and beat until just combined. Stir in the soy milk. Pipe the icing onto the cupcakes, and sprinkle over the honeycomb pieces.
5. These chocolate honeycomb cupcakes pair beautifully with a vegan caramel latte.

Tiago Splitter dunked off an Al Horford assist as the third quarter expired for the 14th (and final) lead change and a 72-70 advantage for the Hawks over the visiting Brooklyn Nets. Atlanta seized control of what had been a tightly-contested game in the fourth quarter and the 101-87 victory was their 5th straight win.
The Hawks outscored the Nets 29-17 in the final quarter and Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer cited a strong defensive effort as a key to victory.
"It was good to see a fourth quarter where I think we closed better and managed to get some separation," said Budenholzer.
Coach Bud singled out the efforts of Kent Bazemore and Justin Holiday in keying Atlanta's defense.
"We were able to turn up the defense and get some stops in the fourth quarter. Kent tracking down blocked shots in transition and Justin with multiple efforts and multiple contests, that's part of who we are and that's what we're going to have to continue to do."
Kyle Korver got another night off to rest his ankle and Coach Bud started Dennis Schröder alongside Jeff Teague in his place. Schröder struggled the night before in Miami but played incredibly well against Brooklyn (plus-11 with 20 points and 4 assists). Teague had a solid performance of his own, dishing out a game-high six assists and finding ways to get to the line (8-for-10, 16 points).
Horford had a team-high 21 points (on 8-for-10 shooting) and eight rebounds, and Millsap contributed 12 points and a game-high eight defensive boards (nine total) with five steals. Bazemore had the least flashy numbers of the starters but set the tone defensively early on with two athletic blocked shots.
The Hawks struggled to contain Brook Lopez (27 points, 11 rebounds), but fortunately he and Thaddeus Young (14 points, 10 rebounds) were the only starting Nets who played well. Atlanta held former Hawk Joe Johnson to one field goal on 10 attempts and both Nets starting guards (Markel Brown and Jarrett Jack) were only able to contribute 6 points apiece.
Brooklyn's offensive struggles were largely due to a few key players from Atlanta's bench. Thabo Sefolosha was plus-10 in 21:40 and looked as healthy as Hawks fans could hope for this early in the season. This was the most comfortable Tiago Splitter has looked in an Atlanta jersey and he was a game-high plus-21 in almost 20 minutes of playing time.
The quiet star of tonight's match up was Holiday, who was rewarded with just under 30 minutes for his efforts (plus-17, four blocked shots). Coach Bud kept him in for almost the entire fourth quarter and it was his impressive defense that allowed Atlanta to finally pull away from Brooklyn.
The 5-1 Hawks hope to carry the momentum from their stellar fourth quarter into their game in New Orleans Friday night before returning home to face the Wizards Saturday at 7:30 PM EST at Philips Arena.

The Forgotten Hero and the Eternal Swordsman
By I.K.A. Valian
The Dark Wizard Agahnim terrorized the humans of ancient Aselia. What resistance existed was led by a strange group of warriors who stood out from the native human population because of their pointed ears. That was one thing the strange group shared with the Dark Wizard, their origin.
They chased the mad man across the cosmos. After much hardship, they arrived on Aselia, but it was too late to stop Agahnim's initial assault on the planet. With innocents caught up in the struggle against the Dark Wizard, the desperate warriors made their last effort to put an end to their former companion.
Prologue: Those That Went Before
"Your reign of terror ends here, Agahnim."
The Dark Wizard looked up from the leafy dry pages of the Book of Niflheim. Before his skeletal throne stood a mixture of warriors and mages, eight in total. A sneer crossed the old wizard's face as unpleasant memories came to him unbidden.
"I see you again found me. A wasted effort, Neppolo," he growled. He felt darker and deeper parts of his soul writhing in anguish. When they'd set out on this journey, he let those emotions control him, but he grew far beyond their scope and power now.
He stood up, his back muscles tense, spine straight, and his shoulders set stiffly. With his left hand he closed the book and clutched it against his chest as a deep purple aura flowed from the leather bound pages. "I've discovered the truth of the world, Neppolo. I've discovered the path to true, unstoppable power. The likes of which only the Goddesses know. Something even the all powerful Triforce is forced to obey. Once I've acquired this power, I shall return to Hyrule and rule it in my rightful place as GOD!"
"He speaks nonsense," a green-haired woman on Neppolo's left said, "there is no such power." Agahnim snarled inwardly as he turned his burning gaze upon that damned woman. The scar on his chest pulsed with ache as he did. That damned Zephyr and her damn wind magic.
"And besides," said the young man next to her, "we wouldn't let you find that power anyway." He tapped his tall battle staff on the stone floor for emphasis.
"Enough of this," Agahnim said. With a quick swipe of his hand, he sent a pulse of dark energy racing toward the eight. He expected them to be knocked back, but the energy bounced off of a white energy field being projected around the group.
"Enough indeed," said Neppolo. He held up his hand. In his palm sat an object. It had three ebony colored triangles with silver half moons sprouting from each outside face of the triangles. The object sat upright, seemingly untouched by gravity.
"I never thought I'd see the day when the great and glorious leader Neppolo ran out of ideas," said Agahnim. "You know that my power has grown beyond that little trinket's ability. So why exactly did you bring it here?" Agahnim felt the edges of his lips curl upward from the excitement coursing through him. It truly would be the last time that he'd have to deal with these fools. He didn't need to be careful anymore so he let that beastly part of his soul free and relished the taste of his moment of victory.
But his loathing for these people halted him from lashing out immediately. This confrontation was different from the previous ones they've had. No one was even looking at him; they were all staring at the useless bauble that Neppolo was holding. He needed to know what it was that Neppolo had up his sleeve this time. What were they doing with the Proto-Triforce?
"I would have thought all of you would try to jump me," he said, trying to lure the tall man to give up some information. "I guess you learned your lesson. Why are you here if this is not a futile attempt to kill me?"
"Everyone," Neppolo said, his voice ringing, completely ignoring the Dark Wizard in front of him. "It's time. The Proto-Triforce has finished charging."
Agahnim tilted his head to the side again. Even he wanted to see what they were going to try. He let his curiosity get the better of him. He could kill them any time he wanted at his current level of power. Heck, he could destroy all of Aselia if he really wanted to. But that fireworks show he wanted to save for last.
Neppolo held up the Proto-Triforce just as everyone fell into a V formation behind him. The Proto-Triforce glowed brightly and launched a beam of light at Agahnim. He didn't the need to deflect or protect himself from the light. He could sense easily enough that it was just plain photonic light.
The Dark Wizard started with a light chuckle. "That's it?!" Agahnim asked through his laughter. His mirth quickly escalated into great, deep, bellows of laughter. The disturbing sound echoed throughout the chamber for several long minutes. The Dark Wizard only fell silent when he caught on to what was happening to him; when he heard the book in his arms drop to the floor with a loud thud.
"This is how it ends," said Neppolo. His cheeks were like rock, his brow set in stone, but his eyes were filled with remorse, "and how it begins. Goodbye Agahnim. May the Goddesses purify your soul in your eternal sleep." Agahnim fell to his knees, his body losing control of anything below his waist. His teeth were grit in an ugly grimace of failing resistance.
"Curse you Neppolo!" Agahnim shouted, spittle flying from his blood swollen face. "Curse you all. I swear I'll come back…" he shouted as the beam sucked the soul from his body. His head, being the first point hit by the light, was the last part of his soul to go. Thus it was that Agahnim fell onto his back and his words became slurred. "…and when I do, I'll hunt every one of you down and kill you. Do you hear me! I'll kill you all! You are all dead!" And he was gone.
Chapter One The Hero, The Princess, And The Pig King
The Ancient Evil: The Pig King
The halls of the Golden Pyramid, central location of the Dark World, were long and dark. They smelled bad as well, the air stale with the millennia old scent of blood and death. Not that it bothered him; he liked it. He was the King of Evil after all.
"M-master, where are we going?"
He grunted and ignored the imp following him. Why did he keep a sniveling little cretin like that around anyway? All he did was complain. He did make for good target practice though. Deciding that it had been long enough since he'd heard himself speak, he deigned the diminutive creature following on his heels with an answer.
"We are traveling down this hallway," he said in his deep gravely and booming voice. He smirked at the witty comment. He had so few opportunities in the last hundred or so years to let himself just be a jerk. It felt good to finally be powerful enough to let himself go like this. The Dark World wars took a large chunk of his time up for the past few hundred years. But now, having finally solidified his control over the Dark World denizens, he could finally concentrate on beating that damn Hero and Princess in the Light World.
"But w-what is at the end of this hallway, M-master?"
He could feel his blood boiling as he remembered every time a Hylian boy defeated him with that… that blasted blade. And the way that princess, every time, looked down at him with… with pity. It was enough to make his vision turn red.
By now he was so worked up he thought nothing of grabbing the imp following him by the neck and squeezing until he felt several satisfying popping and crunching noises. When he realized what he'd done, he casually tossed the dead minion into the wall and snapped his fingers. The Triforce of Power in his meaty right fist grew hot as the powers of the universe did his bidding and reversed the damage he'd done.
Satisfied that his favorite target was back, he turned and started walking down the hallway again. He was down here for a single reason, a simple one at that. Curiosity.
One of his minions reported that a cave-in further into the pyramid had revealed a new hallway that was not known to have existed. Since he acquired this pyramid from a particularly powerful guardian, he felt compelled to explore this new sector himself. Whatever was hidden inside had to be something big to get a giant golden pyramid all to itself. There wasn't anything else in the whole place that really merited such extravagance. Except himself.
He let his mind go blank as he meandered down the baron golden hall. The stench of death became more prominent the further he went, leaving the smell of blood behind. Personally, he wished the steps leading to his throne room in the pyramid did as good a job as this hallway did. He might just have to move his throne room to whatever room was at the end of this hallway.
When he came to the end of the hallway he was confronted with a coffin. Now, he'd raided several crypts for raw undead minion material many times in his extended lifetime. It would be quite fair to say he'd seen his share of coffins. But this one set the bar a level higher than any of the most extravagant coffins he'd ever seen before.
For one thing, it was as tall as he was, just over twelve feet. The name plaque mounted on the side of it was formed of three different shades of gold, set on top of gold siding, built into golden frames, and mounted on a golden platform. Considering that the entire pyramid was made of solid gold, the construction of the coffin wasn't surprising.
It wasn't the grandeur that set this coffin apart from its brethren. It wasn't the difficulty of finding the tomb either. It boiled down to two things. The name on the plaque and the holographic image of a shining Triforce hovering above the coffin.
"Here lies the King of Old, thy Hyruler. Murdered through treachery by Lowruler. He forever lives in the power of the Royal Triforce."
As his minion read the rest of the laundry list every royal tomb contained, he reached up to his thick, broad chin and scratched it slowly, thoughts and explanations for this tomb's existence filtering through his mind.
This dead king could possibly predate the existence of Hyrule as it is now. The way the list of accomplishments read, this king ruled the Light world, the Dark world, the Twilight Realm… he literally ruled the entire world! And he did it for thousands of years. This was exactly what he wanted to do. And now that he knew it was possible…
"…and by decree of the Royal Family, all records of events and knowledge are secured with the Great Father for all time."
His eye twitched and his heart began racing. The knowledge was in this coffin. The tools he needed to finally conquer all worlds were stored under his feet for the last five hundred years. This news was so fantastic he backhanded his favorite target into the wall, satisfied with the loud splat and fountain of innards that resulted. In a rush to get what he desired, he gripped the edge of the coffin's lid and heaved.
Though it had been sealed for many, many years, the golden coffin lid glided open as easily as if it had been made the day before. The holographic image of the three golden triangles however disappeared the moment he touched it. He didn't really care though, he just needed into the coffin.
His nerves were electrified; uncontained exuberance caused him to immediately reach in and rip the dead body, still perfectly preserved, from its resting place and fling it next to the dead minion.
After searching for several minutes through the frilly ruffles of gold thread spun lining, he felt hope give way to desperation, desperation to aggravation, aggravation to outrage, and outrage to seething anger. With a great heave and show of power, he lifted the entire golden coffin above his head, looking very much like a midget lifting a two story house, and threw it into the wall.
"WHERE IS IT!" he bellowed, his rage echoing out of the room, down the hall, and out into the rest of the Dark World. Ever one of his minions immediately knew to avoid him at all costs, lest they wish to suffer an early, and most likely, violent death.
He needed to kill something. Where was his favorite target? Ah yes, that stain on the wall. He snapped his fingers in his minion's general direction and felt the Triforce of Power do its work once more. However, instead of his minion reforming and reanimating, the body of the dead king came to life.
Well, he thought, maybe the dead guy can tell me what I want to know. If not, he's my next target!
The dead king stood up. His form was enshrouded in an unearthly white glow. His eyes projected a soft bluish white light. All these signs of relatively obvious and dated necromancing magic.
"You who posses the Triforce of Power, bow before your King." The reanimated corps lifted its arm and pointed in his direction. When he did nothing but watch him, the walking corpse sneered and whipped his hand at him.
Almost immediately, he fell to his knees. The dead bastard was trying to posses him. He wasn't going to stand here and let some dead freak take him. The only ones who he would even acknowledge as capable of that were that boy and that princess.
Forcing his fist into the floor a good inch, he drew deeply from the power of the Triforce and grabbed the essence invading his mind. With pure force of will and grit borne from three thousand, three hundred, and eighty five years of fighting, he sucked up the soul of the dead king, consuming the old man in his entirety.
For a moment, the world slowed to a crawl as his spirit absorbed and fused with the deca-millennial old king. He saw stars, images, things he never thought would or could have happened in another time and age. An entire civilization's rise and fall in the blink of an eye passed before him. When it was all done, he sat on the ground, unable to form a single cognitive process.
The king himself was the record of the ancient past that he sought. Now he had it, all of it, every secret of ever magic spell he knew and those he didn't were laid before him like the master score before a Sympnonia's maestro. He knew where the tribes came from, both in the Dark World and the Light. He knew the secrets of the Twili, the purpose behind the Twilight mirror's construction. He even knew the origin of the Sheikah. Everything, all of it, was his now. And now that he knew, nothing was ever going to be the same.
A plan immediately formed in his head. He knew exactly how to beat that boy now. With this plan his lips parted. It started as a low growl and quickly escalated into a deep, gut busting barking. That slowly crawled higher into a maniacal evil laughter that shook the very pyramid he sat in. The sound could be heard throughout the Dark World. All his minions, earlier disturbed by his shouts of rage, now rejoiced with glee. A reckoning was coming to their master's enemies.
The Weakest Link: The Hero
He glanced over his shoulder and felt a trill of panic shoot up his spine, bounce off of his brain, and end up back in his gut. Lanieu was literally just inches away from him. Inches away from pounding him to a pulp.
"Where do you think you're running, Wimpy Linky?" taunted his vile enemy. "I don't think the Hero is supposed to run away?"
He dodged one of the kids running at him and rolled between another kid's legs. Desperately, his terror fueled brain searched for a way out of the square he'd just run into. He spotted an side alley and dashed for it before another kid and his nemesis got him. Lanieu nearly grabbed onto his dirty, ratty shirt.
"Come on, Wimpy Linky!" shouted Lanieu tauntingly. "Don't run! Fight back!"
"Go away!" he shouted through tears over his shoulder.
Unfortunately, taking his eyes from where he was going was a mistake. He missed the baker carefully navigating the alley. The baker carried a tray piled high with steaming fresh bread. The resulting impact between terrified boy and Baker caused an explosion of bread. The adult stood up and scowled as he looked for the culprit.
First the angry looked at the crowd of kids. They were laughing and pointing. The Baker followed their fingers and found him still on the ground. The baker's scowl darkened.
"You again!" the Baker shouted. "This is the seventh tray of bread you've ruined!" The Baker took a step forward and raised his fist. The man's face went several shades of red before it turned purple. "You insufferable ingrate," the man bellowed, "I'm gonna take this outta your hide!"
He didn't want to wait for the Baker to make good on his claims and scrambled to get away. Unfortunately, his foot slipped on the bread scattered about the ground and he flew head first into the brick wall of the Bakery.
When he came around, the mid-day sun was replaced by a crimson and orange sky sprinkled with the first few stars of the night. When he tried to move his head, a chrysanthemum of pain blossomed at the base of his skull. Reflexively, he scrunched up into a small ball as the pain washed over him. After several minutes of the torture, he was finally able to withstand the nerve firings in his head to move onto his hands and knees.
The Baker, apparently, closed for the day. No doubt to head home to feed his family. The kids as well were gone, a fact which made him feel a whole lot better.
It took him what seemed like hours to limp home. When he reached the door to his back-end slums of Castle Town home, he nearly fell onto its dingy wooden surface in relief. The entire trip, every step sent waves of knife twisting pain up his spine into his head. Each wave made him dizzy and the world seemed to wobble as he walked.
As he reached out to grab the handle, the door groaned open and was replaced with his father. His father was still dressed in the robes all administrative staff at the castle wore. First a scowl passed over his father's face. Then a deeper scowl passed over his father's face.
"So you finally managed to drag your carcass back here, eh?" His father looked him over with a critical eye. Meanwhile, he tried really hard not to fall back down while looking back up at his father. The world began to spin and wobble faster as his father snorted loudly, turned around, and left the door open behind him. "He's fine," his father said on his way back into the house. "Don't bother with his dinner. He doesn't deserve it after pulling this stunt again."
He was about to protest when his mother appeared in the doorway. She hesitated before she brushed the ratty brown hair away from his dirt stained forehead wound. He tried to tell her that it was Lanieu's fault, that the other kids chased him all around town and wouldn't leave him alone no matter what. But she wouldn't have any of it.
"You need to learn how to get along with others," she said as she quickly pulled him into the house and slammed the door shut. She snatched up the last red potion as she passed the medicine cabinet in the hall. When they got to his bedroom, she pushed him onto his bed and tossed the red potion onto his pillow.
For a moment she looked at him sadly. He noticed it before. It always disappeared quickly, and did so this time as well, replaced with the hardened eyes she usually gazed at him with. She quickly disappeared when she pulled the door firmly shut. He heard the lock click.
Today was not out of the ordinary for him. In the beginning, he asked to be the Hero. He wanted to be included, to feel wanted. No one used to play with him at all. Usually they responded to his request with a forceful no. They wanted nothing to do with him and made it inexplicably clear.
That was how things worked until Lanieu moved to Castle Town. He came from a town that was on the border with the Gerudo Desert. He took an immediate interest in him and started picking on him. It started out small; calling him names, sneaking in smacks, and tripping him. Eventually, he got kids to join him in his antics and soon all the children who never wanted to play with him suddenly took joy in torturing him.
He was sure it was because of Lanieu that his life had become like this. He wanted to hate the other boy, to hurt him back, to do something to make Lanieu stop. But no matter how much he did, every time he came face to face with Lanieu his knees buckled, he lost his breath, and he couldn't think of anything but getting away. The rage and anger built up while alone seemed to be sucked out of him like the air leaving a balloon. It was horrible and he went through it six times a week.
As he drank the red potion, he daydreamed of being a real hero in an attempt to take his mind off of his growling stomach and the sickening taste of the potion. He envisioned himself on that first day of playing Hero. In his daydream, he actually stood up to Lanieu instead of crying in a corner as the elder boy loomed over him and called him names. He beat up Lanieu, all the other kids liked him, and the King proclaimed him a true Hero.
And so he fell asleep with his heart hammering from the immense pain, the immense void created in him, by an unfair life. His conscious mind left him the silent wish for something or someone to please help him; a wish to be something more and better than what he was; a wish to not be weak anymore. The tears of isolation evaporated from his reddened cheeks not long after.
The Impure One: The Princess
Zelda walked into the throne room, her head held high, her back straight, and her gait graceful; just as she'd been taught. Her father sat on the throne while he spoke to one of his advisers, her uncle, the Baron Barker. After them, other than the guards lining the walls of the expansive throne room, there wasn't anyone else present.
"Father, you summoned me?" she asked with a short bow to her father, the King. The King shooed his brother off to the side and looked toward his daughter.
"I did indeed," he said in his famous baritone voice. "Princess Zelda, how fare you in your studies of the arcane?"
Zelda closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She knew this meeting was bound to take place sooner or later. She thought about it during her entire trip to the throne room. Her father never called for her this late in the afternoon.
With no small amount of trepidation, she tentatively said, "I have nearly mastered the three basic spells that all magi must learn. I've also learned of the Royal Seal, the Royal Arrow of Light, and I'm confident in my abilities to master the ancient frost spell, FrostMreos."
"Good!" said the King. He smiled motioned for Zelda to approach. "What about that spell?"
Zelda trembled, vividly remembering the incident at the Magic Academy. She clenched her fists to gather her courage. Zelda looked her father in the eye and shook her head.
The King nodded, astute enough to take notice of his daughter's reaction. She still hasn't gotten over it, even after seven years. But as long as she never dabbled in that again, she should be okay, or so the physician and Impa claimed.
"And what of your studies in Anthropology?" The King asked.
"I've studied the texts that you've given me, Father," she said. "Though I do not know how studying the cultures and philosophies of other nations is helpful in governing Hyrule."
"You'll see soon enough," said the King with a wink. "Well then, everything appears to be in order," the King announced. "As you are aware, you showed such a high proficiency in Magic when you were younger that it is a foregone conclusion that if you keep up your studies you'll be even more powerful than your mother." For a moment the King lost his focus. He turned his head and looked at the wall for a moment. When the moment past, he continued to study the wall. "I suppose it's time you were allowed access to those higher level spells that you've been wanting so badly," the King teased, "now that you've got the basics down."
Zelda nodded at her father and smiled hopefully. Finally. She'd been waiting to have access for those scrolls. Now if she could get out of here without having to demonstrate, then-
"But first we should see a demonstration," said the King.
Zelda kept her composure, but inside she was punching her hand bloody on a brick wall. Shaking herself of these apprehensive feelings, she took a few steps from her father as one of the guards brought a target and set it in the center of the throne room.
The King leaned forward as he watched his daughter calculate the distance, approximately forty yards. Baron Barker moved closer to the King and whispered something into his ear, the King nodded.
Zelda took a deep breath. Having estimated the distance, all she needed to do was get the amount of power required right. That was more of an intuitive judgment than a definite calculation. She centered the energies in her own body, stretched her right arm toward the target and her left arm behind her. Flames licked along her finger tips as she took up the stance that she'd taken hundreds of times in practice.
With a short step forward, she whipped her body around in a full circle. Her arms curved slightly as she went, whipping back into their original position and launching a ball of fire from her palm toward the target.
The ball of magical flames screamed through the air and impacted upon the wooden target with the force of a Goron Bomb Flower. When the smoke cleared, Zelda allowed herself a small smile of victory, having blown the top half of the dummy clear off. It lay fifty feet behind the dummy stand and was still smoking.
Zelda turned toward her father and bowed just as a loud and obnoxious clapping filled the room. Zelda frowned, removed the unladylike expression, and looked up at her father. Her father and uncle were both staring at her. No, not at her, behind her. She turned around and saw a tall man in ebony armor picking up the burned remains of the target dummy.
His face was hidden by the smoke but his red hair was unmistakably that of a Gerudo. Now Zelda did frown. The Gerudo were all women and this one was clearly a man.
"Excellent work, Princess," the man sneered as he casually tossed the smoking target behind him. Revealed was a pair of stone cold eyes set in a face formed from solid steel. His nostrils flared as he grinned wildly, wickedly. "I dare say you are perhaps the most powerful Princess to ever grace the Hylian Royal Family."
There stood the scourge of Hyrule. Her insides froze and she found herself unable to move. She wanted to run, to turn to her father for comfort, to do something. But her feet stayed where they were, unbridled terror becoming the glue that held her in place.
"Princess Zelda," Barker shouted as he ran forward. His great bulk seemed to swallow her up as he stood in front of her, his sword clenched in his gloved hands. "You'll not win the day this time Ganondorf!"
The King rose from his throne and moved quickly toward Zelda. Just as he reached her, Ganondorf ducked under Barker's first swing and punched him. The blow seemed to go through the armor and knocked the large man out cold. The King shook Zelda out of her trance.
"Run Zelda! Sound the alarm!" Zelda did as her father said and ran just as Ganondorf stepped up to the King and got into his face. In the back of her mind she wondered why the guards in the throne room weren't moving and how that man managed to get into the castle in the first place without raising any alarms.
As Zelda left the room, Baron Barker chuckled as he stood up. He motioned to the guards standing about the room and watched them leave. Then he turned back to his brother.
"So, it was you," the King said. "I didn't think you would be able to stoop this low, brother."
"Then you would be wrong," he chuckled. "I've got other priorities and a master to please. That tends to prioritize things a different way." He bent over and picked up his sword, the scraping of steel against stone echoing throughout the throne room.
"So this is how it ends?" asked the King. He snorted and straightened his back. Like the nobleman that he was, the king that he was, he would not die without his honor. "So be it."
"Why don't you fight back, eh?" asked Ganondorf. "I know you want to. I can sense it. You're like a cornered lion ready to strike. How… interesting that you choose not to do anything?" The King looked at Ganondorf and didn't answer. He merely sat back down on the throne and remained silent.
"Do you think me foolish enough to try and out power one who wields the Triforce? I may not have proficiency in magic but I'm not stupid. I will not run from dea-"
Barker screamed out his rage as he stabbed the King in the chest with his sword. He drove the blade through the King and into the throne, the impact creating a loud screech as metal grated on metal. Ganondorf smirked and walked pasted the throne, following the path that Zelda took. Barker leaned forward, grinning like an idiot, a victorious idiot.
"I should have been made King all those years ago," Barker whispered. "Now I'll have my revenge upon these lands for rejecting me."
"Brother, you fool," the King rasped. Blood dribbled down his chin and neck. A red blossom was quickly spreading across his robes around the stab wound. "You were not chosen to rule because you were reckless and power hungry. You would have dragged this country back into another war, driven our people to the depth of the Dark World in your search for power and glory."
Barker grinned as he watched the last light of life fade from his brother's eyes. "Heh, I guess that's going to happen anyway." Barker stood up and walked off, leaving the King's body pinned to the throne.
Zelda quickly traversed the halls of the castle. Her dress hiked up in her hands to allow her to run faster than would otherwise be possible. She could hear the feet of soldiers behind her and slowed. Relief nearly drained the adrenalin from her when she realized that these were the same soldiers from the throne room. They had to be under some kind of hypnotic spell.
Turning to run again, she slammed into a brick wall of a man. When let her eyes flow up from the man's chest, she found herself face to face with Ganondorf. He grinned down at her sternly, as if to say she should watch where she's going in the future.
"It looks like we just keep running into each other, eh Princess Zelda?" the tall Gerudo asked.
Zelda shook her head and back pedaled. Before she realized it, the guards from the throne room were all around her. Two of them helped her up and then two more held her arms and shoulders so she couldn't escape.
"Hold out your wrist," the evil man ordered. Zelda stubbornly refused to follow his wishes. Ganondorf nodded to the man holding her arm. The soldier grabbed her arm by the elbow and used his full body weight to force her arm up. Considering that he was a big, burly soldier and she a delicate princess, the battle of wills was over quickly.
Ganondorf approached her extended arm slowly, like a cat stalking its prey. His huge hand, huge enough to encompass her entire arm around the elbow, reached forth and grabbed her wrist. She could feel the rough texture of his palm rubbing raggedly against her softer and more delicate skin as he squeezed tightly.
For a split second, it felt as if her arm would snap right off. The light from the back of Ganondorf's hand, where the might of the Triforce of Power shone through, was blinding. She could smell the acrid scent of burning flesh, her flesh, though she didn't feel the amount of pain that she thought she ought to have.
When the light faded, Ganondorf let her wrist go and took a step back. Like the brand work of the Lon Lon Ranch, Zelda now sported a black and white emblem of some kind that pulsed with a soft, dull blue glow every time her heart beat. Right now it was beating regularly and quickly, reflecting the quickness of her racing heart. What did he do to her?
"It seems that the binding spell worked," the evil ruler said, turning disinterestedly away from the princess and the group of soldiers around her. "My work here is done for now. Throw her in the dungeon."
"What did you do to me?!" she demanded. She could already feel an icy coolness spreading from the brand mark. "What have you done to my father?! I demand answers!"
Ganondorf chuckled as the throne room guards dragged their princess away. Her indignant shouts for answers and release went unanswered and soon faded into silence. The Desert Bandit did not move from where he stood until the sounds of Barker's footsteps echoed in the hallway.
"What are the master's orders?" asked Barker as he strode up to Ganondorf. The tall desert man turned and started walking away without answering the shorter fat man. "Does that mean that the binding spell worked?"
Ganondorf stopped. Without turning he said, "I'm going to dispose of her and the Hero when he shows up. Make sure that he gets to the dungeon unimpeded by any soldiers or monsters."
"Yes, of course," said Barker, bowing.
"And another thing," said Ganondorf, "the master is pleased. He wishes for you to retrieve the Triforce of Wisdom for his arrival if possible. Otherwise proceed as planned."
"I will do as I can, Lord Ganondorf." Barker bowed deeply. Ganondorf snorted derisively and continued on his way.
Seeing as this is the first chapter, I don't have any shout outs to give. I would like to thank everyone who supported the original. This rewrite was for you guys. Also, I'm not sure what the update schedule will be like, so I can't give a definitive answer as to when the next chapter will be out. I have it written, but I must still revise it. I humbly ask for your patience.
I.K.A. Valian
Namco Bandai owns the Tales of series. Nintendo owns the Legend of Zelda series. I own the plot and any original characters you may happen upon in this original work.
Update 12/2/08: Changed some of the formatting, but not much else.
Update 12/15/08: Not changing anything, just letting all who read this know that TOS is Alternate Universe. Characters will be OOC.
Update 1/18/09: Redid Link's introduction so that it was less cumbersome. It should read faster and easier now.
Update 1/19/09: More revisions.

No Evidence for Fluoridated Water to Result in Less Cavities
by Dr. Mercola
Two-thirds of Americans drink tap water that has added fluoride. Unlike other chemicals added to water, which are intended to treat the water itself, fluoride is intended to treat the people who drink the water, whether they want the treatment or not.
As the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) puts it, "Fluoridating water supplies can thus fairly be described as a form of mass medication, which is why most European countries have rejected the practice." [1]
In the U.S., many people assume the fluoride in drinking water is beneficial for their teeth, an assumption that has been widely spread by public health agencies.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has partnered with the American Dental Association (ADA) in saying fluoridation is "nature's way to prevent tooth decay" [2] — a statement that is both misleading and inaccurate.

Welcome to Music Mondays! Last week I kicked things off with an interview with Robert Scwartzman from Rooney and this week I'm introducing you to a new project I am a part of and letting you know of two gigs I attended last week.
Last week was a fantastic week in Melbourne for music. I had the pleasure of going to see two absolutely amazing bands and I've written reviews of both shows for Rave Review
Who are Rave Review?
They are a local Melbourne based online music source. The site covers everything from music news to photography from local gigs and many many reviews of gigs and cds. It has a wealth of information on all things Melbourne and I'm now officially a part of the team.
Here are the start of the two pieces I have written for them so far (click on the "keep reading" to be taken to the full reviews). I'm sure there are many more to come and I'm excited for this opportunity.
(This was seriously the ONLY photo I took at Vampire Weekend – I didn't charge my camera before the show and my camera died after this shot. Don't the chandeliers look darling)
Vampire Weekend @ The Palace 04/05/10
WORDS BY: Brooke Jagoe
Arriving to the Palace at 8pm it was clear we had a long wait ahead of us before the main act. Doors at 7.30pm - support band starts at 9pm. Luckily I had people to entertain me, but the sparse crowd that was there early relied on staring blankly at the stage, reading books (!) and listening to their iPods to pass the time.
By the time Cloud Control started the crowd had grown substantially and were ready to be entertained. With a hand written sign stuck to their keyboard they began a multi layered, harmonic, lively set that fit perfectly with what you'd expect from a Vampire Weekend support band.
By 10pm the sold out crowd was getting restless - the stage was set with five chandeliers hanging from the roof and the Contra cover art of a blonde, tanned beauty hanging in the background. Sporadic cheers and clapping started and when the lights dimmed the crowd erupted as the four members of Vampire Weekend emerged from the darkness onto the stage. They kicked it off with two songs from their new album - White Sky and Holiday – and the enthusiastic crowd sang and danced along before they delved into some of their much loved hits from their self titled debut album.

(I know these are blurry – but I like the way the colours look – plus it was super dark and I only had my "point & shoot")
Julian Casablancas @ The Palace 07/05/10
WORDS BY: Brooke Jagoe
Keep reading here...
It was another night of waiting at The Palace on Friday night. For some strange reason this venue likes it's punters to wait an hour and a half before any act begins. This creates a kind of boredom and impatience amongst an eager crowd. It's been 5 years since Julian Casablancas has graced our shores and everyone in that room was ready for his return.
At 9.30pm Andy Clockwise wandered onstage to a less than interested crowd. It was clear from their reaction that everyone was there for one reason and anything else that evening was going to be sub-standard and a waste of their time.
Keep reading here...
It was a busy crazy week at work last week - hence the reason why the posts didn't happen. We've been under-staffed due to people being away on leave so whenever I got home I just wanted to stop my brain from working. I polished off the first part of Glee and watched a couple of movies on the nights I wasn't out.
My little niece Bridie also was rushed to hospital with a lung infection so that didn't help with the distractions. She is fine now - it was just a little scare.
I'm going to attempt to keep a bit more up to date this week. It's hard to stay motivated during the cold but I'll push through it.

Question about Dyson Flowcheck CRO1 Front Load Washer
Coin trap is clear and drained the machine manually using drain hose into washing up bowl.
Pump being powered up as you can hear the mains hum, but not pumping takes place.
Ssuepct the pump is faulty or cacked up, buy do not know how to ytake front panel off machine toi get at it, can you advise how to get access.
Posted by techbod on
Hi had the same problem due to a build up of hair and a bobble stuck in the pump easiest way to the pump is to take the the front off take the top off first four screws on front panel at the top un due circuit board prize off outer door two screws behind hinge lift front cover up and you can get easy accsess to pump. hope this helps
Posted on Jun 04, 2008
It sounds like there is something jammed in the rudders of the pump but to get to it is not easy.
You have 2 options.
1. Take the back panel off along with the top cover and carefully jam an object thick enough for your arm to pass between the right side of the drum and the machine body. Care must be given to the pcb located near here. either remove it or cover it. Removal is quite the easier option. You then need to unhook the pump and undo the hose clip and it should then be free to come out to check it.
2.Do all the above but with removal of the drum or drums.(not recomended).
You could attempt it but the rear of this mechanism is very complex and may result in damage to the direction changer,although you would have more room to work on it.
I hope this solution helps.

Here's what Jimmy and Adam talked about in Episode 55:
– Is it high-fat or moderate fat for weight loss on a ketogenic diet?
Hello my Ketonian mentors,
Thank you for what you do! This podcast has been invaluable as my husband and I started keto this new year. We're doing well, losing weight and inches, and feeling good! No keto flu or cravings and we've even formed a good group of Ketonians here on Okinawa for support and ideas.
Lipolysis and Why You Can Gain Weight Eating Too Much Fat
A friend just posted this article from Maria Emmerich and I'm really struggling between what Maria says and what you guys have said about how much fat to consume on a ketogenic diet. We don't do Bulletproof Coffee or fat bombs at all. Instead, we stick to real food but now we're confused about what's right regarding fat consumption? We aim to lose weight and burn fat, but you say eat fat and Maria says to moderate it. So what's the right answer? I appreciate your contribution to health and just wish I could get everyone I care about on board!
Arigato from Okinawa,
– Does taking TRT injections inhibit your ability to get into ketosis and lose weight?
Hi Jimmy and the Doc,
I love your show and have been a listener from the first episode. I read Wheat Belly in December 2015 and stopped all grains and rice keeping carbs between 40-80g daily losing 35 pounds in four months and improving my reflux, IBS and other health issues. But then I noticed my energy became completely zapped to the point that I couldn't get out of bed to workout anymore. I had my testosterone tested and it dropped below 200 in July 2016. My doctor said I have the testosterone of a 95-year old man. I began testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with weekly injections and noticed my energy, drive, focus and capacity to exercise soared. But my weight also increased and now I can't get into ketosis. I have consistently been in ketosis when I've measured in the morning and would stay in the state all day. I get that my body is recovering from a huge hormonal shock and I need to give it time to adapt. Is difficulty with weight loss and getting into ketosis normal for someone using TRT?
Thanks for your help,
STUDY TO DISCUSS: Low-carb diets should be reinstated as pillars of diabetes control, suggests new study
Original study link: Should a Low Carbohydrate Diet be Recommended for Diabetes Management?
Hi Jimmy,
My niece started low-carb keto and very easily switched from sugar burner to fat burner. At first she had no side effects and reacted very positive on this new lifestyle change, but then she noticed that her lymph nodes started swelling, especially in her neck. When I checked Dr. Google, I found something about the release of dead yeast cells (Candida) or even part of the keto flu. What can I do to help her with this? I told her to speak with her doctor about this, but I'm sure he'll just tell her to stop her ketogenic diet.
Thank you for spreading the word and I love your show!
Greetings from the Netherlands,

Hi Jimmy and Doc Nally,
I love your podcast and thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Here's my question for you guys: I'm having trouble keeping my carbs to a level that is not too high and not too low. When I cut my carbs to get into ketosis, I tend to eat virtually zero. But doing that makes me start feeling horrible with headaches, so I add back in some carbs and it goes away. I'm trying to eat no more than 10g carbs per meal as a goal. So how can I determine what my "Goldilocks zone" of carbohydrate intake is?
Keep it up and thanks for answering my question!

Hi Jimmy and Doc Nally!
Thanks for doing such a fun and informative podcast! I've listened to al of them, sometimes twice if I need a refresher later. I have been keto for the past few months both for weight loss and health. I've been happy with the results so far with about a pound a week weight loss, less fatigue, more energy, and more wakefulness to take on the day. My Ketonix breath ketone device shows I am in ketosis pretty much constantly and I'm using this device to see how various foods and carb amounts impact my fat burning.
But now I have a question for you regarding the effect of dehydration on ketone production? My 6-year old caught me blowing into my Ketonix the other day and she wanted to blow into it too. Despite eating a very carb heavy diet, she showed moderate levels of ketosis. So it got me thinking why this would happen. Is she dehydrated? And for those of us purposely trying to get into ketosis, could drinking less water than normal fuel more ketone production and show false readings?
Any input would be great! Thanks for reading my email!

– How does lack of sufficient sleep impact your ketone levels?
Hi Jimmy and Doc Nally:
I suffer from chronic insomnia – I wake earlier than I want, or wake several times a night. Sometimes I fall asleep right away and sometimes I don't. When I get up for the day, I generally feel less tired than I was when I went to bed even when I get more than 6 or 6.5 hours of sleep. I think 7.5 hours is my sweet spot. How does the lack of sufficient sleep impact your ketone levels? My guess is insomnia decreases ketones due to increased amounts of cortisol which raises blood sugar and insulin levels. Plus the stress of feeling tired all the time may lead to questionable nutritional choices.
Thanks for your help with this. I really love and look forward to every new episode of Keto Talk. Keep up the good work!

Letters from the November 5, 2005, issue of Science News
Wind or fury?
("The Wind and the Fury" (SN: 9/17/05, p. 184) states, "In 2004, Florida suffered its worst hurricane season in 118 years, with nine hurricanes, five of which were classified as major." While it's true that 9 of the 15 named tropical or subtropical storms that formed in the North Atlantic basin last year strengthened into hurricanes, 6 of them actually became major hurricanes and only 4 of these hurricanes—Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne—directly affected Florida. According to the National Hurricane Center, only six hurricanes struck the United States at all last year.

I have spent the past 30 years as a geoscientist studying the history of Earth and take great exception to a statement in the article: "Scientists are divided on whether climate change, induced by industrial and automotive release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, is driving these statistics." This sentence states that there would be no climatic warming without mankind's use of fossil fuels. While that belief may be politically correct, it is certainly not scientifically correct. About 15,000 years ago, much of North America was covered by glaciers, and those glaciers have been retreating since that time with no help from Homo sapiens. While the emission of greenhouse gases by man might be changing the rate of warming, mankind's activity certainly has not caused the warming.

They, the people?
Just curious about the wording in the first paragraph of "French site sparks Neandertal debate" (SN: 9/17/05, p. 189): "Around 36,000 years ago, Neandertals and people lived side by side... ." Were not the Neandertals "people," and isn't it true that Neandertals and Cro-Magnons were both Homo sapiens?
John Hanson Mitchell
Lincoln, Mass.
This is one of the biggest debates in paleoanthropology. Many researchers regard Neandertals as a separate species, Homo neanderthalensis. Others view Neandertals as a geographic variant of H. sapiens. The debate is far from over.—B. Bower

To her credit, the former owner of the property had given the landscape a decent start, ripping out sod and creating initial borders -- one along the back edge of the property and a foundation border in the front. She was a bird watcher, so there was a preponderance of native wildflowers to provide a food source for the birds, along with a few shrubs and trees tucked in between. She most certainly didn't subscribe to the cookie-cutter, squared off landscapes that are so common in suburbia.
But I knew as soon as we moved in that I needed to start changing the landscape in attempt to make it a grander, more diverse sanctuary that provided both beauty and privacy in the land of 80 by 120 foot lots.
Today, 10 years later, I thought it would be interesting to dig through some old photos and do a before an after comparison to see how much of a stamp I've put on my little patch of suburban earth.
